The son-in-law of the husband’s family
The son-in-law of the husband’s family — 6.3

  Gu Zhao was taking notes before going to bed. As soon as Li Zhouzhou left the room with the oil lamp, Gu Zhao woke up. He only took two or three minutes to put on his clothes. So when Li Zhouzhou came in with the oil lamp, Gu Zhao had already packed up.

  The stove was burning vigorously with hard firewood, and soon the steamed buns and sweet potatoes were almost hot enough to eat, just not too cold and hard. If Li Zhouzhou went to the town alone, he would not need to light a fire, and could just eat the hard buns on the way.

  If it were his little husband, Li Zhouzhou would be willing to put in the effort and not be afraid of the hardship.

  Remove the hard firewood sticks and leave some residual heat in the stove, so that when Dad wakes up, the food in the pot will still be hot. Li Zhouzhou prepared hot water for washing and let his husband wash up. He picked up two steamed buns and a sweet potato and put them in a clean cloth bag.

  ”Zhou Zhou, don’t move.”

  Gu Zhao came over with a hot towel, wiped his wife’s face first, and then washed himself. Li Zhouzhou was stunned for a moment, his face still warm, and he touched his face with his fingertips, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

  After packing up, the couple went on a long journey. It was still dark outside, with the stars and the moon still hanging above their heads. In the light, Li Zhouzhou carried a bamboo basket on his back, walked slowly, and handed the hot sweet potatoes in his hand to his husband.

  Gu Zhao broke it in half and handed it back, “Eat it while it’s hot.” As soon as he spoke, a mouthful of cold air came out. It was really cold in ancient rural areas in mid-November. It was almost four or five o’clock now.

  Sweet potatoes are sweet and taste better than steamed buns.

  Li Zhouzhou took a bite of the sweet potato and it was sweeter than honey.

  The couple walked slowly in the dark and ate breakfast first. When they finished eating the sweet potatoes, the steamed buns were already cold. Gu Zhao took two bites and found them too dry and without moisture. Finally, he waved his hand and stopped eating and hurried on. Li Zhouzhou took the steamed bun bag back.

  It was getting light and the road was clear, so the two walked faster.

  We walked like this for almost two hours.

  Gu Zhao’s foundation was indeed a little weak. Like Zhu Xiucai from Shili Village, he went to study with a scholar from the neighboring village when he was getting enlightened. He studied in the morning and came back to work in the afternoon. After passing the examination to become a student, he went to study in the town. He traveled back and forth between home every ten days or half a month. His physique was not as good as that of the farmers in the fields, but he had no problem walking long distances.

  The original body was different. He was enlightened by an old scholar from the same village. He didn’t have to work when his mother was alive. A few months after his mother passed away, his second mother came into the family. She was also a good worker. The original body became lazy and refused to work if possible.

  At the age of ten, he passed the examination for a student. The old scholar in the village said that if he wanted to make further progress, he could go to the town to study. His stepmother said: The village scholar is also a scholar, the town scholar is also a scholar, they are all the same, why does the town require three taels of silver for tuition, and what’s more, Zhao’er is still young, how can he go alone? No one can take care of his eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, so who do you think should I go or you?

  Of course, Mr. Gu refused, so the matter was dropped.

  So the original body kept following the old scholar in the village to study.

  In conclusion, the original physical fitness was really not good enough, even though Gu Zhao had been here and had taken over for almost a month, walking for exercise every day, and doing weightlifting in the yard with two empty wooden barrels after copying books, even so, he could barely keep up with his wife’s pace.

  My wife is so awesome.

  Gu Zhao’s eyes were starry, and he gritted his teeth, relying on his iron will.

  Men can’t say no!

  Li Zhouzhou walked briskly as if on a flat road. His face was slightly red, and he was sweating and hot, but his breathing was normal. After walking for another half a quarter of an hour, he saw a large rock on the side of the road and said, “Husband, take a break first.”

  ”Okay.” Gu Zhao didn’t bother to be polite with his wife and sat on the stone first.

  It was now bright outside and from a fork in the road they could see some villagers. Some were pushing wooden carts, but most of them were like them, carrying bamboo baskets on their backs, carrying things in their hands, and relying on their own two legs.

  An old lady passed by and glanced at them.

  ”The young man still feels sorry for his brother.”

  ”This guy is so handsome, fair and tender. No wonder his husband loves him so much.”

  Gu Zhao, panting on the stone: …

  Knowing that the old lady had misunderstood, Gu Zhao did not explain, but smiled and said, “That’s right, I’m young and good-looking, my Zhou Zhou likes me like this, and usually loves me very much.”
