Chapter 014
Zhou Xiaomeng was originally worried that Gu Tingzhi and Gu Weizhi would sneak in suddenly in the middle of the night, locking the door from the inside, and blocking it with hard objects.
When she woke up the next day and looked at the intact door without any sign of passivity, she smiled bitterly. Did she take herself too seriously?
She stretched her limbs, stretched her waist, and smiled brightly at the sunshine shining in the window. Today was her second day here, and she had been thinking about what she should do today last night.
The clothes Gu Youzhi washed yesterday have been dried. Today he can wear clean clothes and go out. He no longer has to be mistaken for a stinky beggar.
Don’t know what time it is?
This was not good in ancient times.
Looks like I need to learn how to tell time.
There is no one at home.
Xiao Lang is not here either.
She went to fetch water alone and splashed the water on her face. The coolness washed away the remaining sleepiness.
I also dug out the dust from my fingernails, yawned, and picked up a clean towel that had been used for an unknown amount of time and was still washable to wipe my face. However, I accidentally soaked a corner of the towel.
Wring it dry and preparing to dry it on the pole, it accidentally fell on the exposed arm.
Huh?
Under the sun, it doesn't seem so dark anymore.
No, even if it is washed, even if it is caused by the sun, it seems too obvious.
Confused, she rolled up her sleeves again, and further confirmed that it was not an illusion or any other external reason. The skin on her arms, not only her arms, but also other parts of her body, was not only whiter, but also delicate.
Already.
He seems to have lost some weight.
What about the face?
She quickly ran to the water tank, moved her face little by little into the water tank, and then her eyes widened.
I've really lost weight. Not only have I lost weight, but I've also become whiter. There were some freckles on my cheeks that seemed to be gone now, and the big bags under my eyes didn't seem to be that obvious anymore.
When I touch it with my hands, although it is still a little rough, it is no longer so tough.
I tried to keep my eyes wide open and pursed my lips. It seemed that my eyes were a little bit bigger and my lips were not as plump.
My mother-in-law.
Has she worshiped the right god? Has she been given a golden finger?
She had heard before that time travel would give her a golden finger. She was still wondering why she was so unlucky. It turned out that her golden finger only arrived late.
It was only the first day, but it was already so obvious. In a few days, she would be able to regain her previous pretty appearance and bright figure.
But if it is too obvious, will it be regarded as a monster?
Zhou Xiaomeng was glad to have the golden finger, but at the same time she was a little worried.
It wasn't until the sound of footsteps came from behind that she suppressed all her thoughts. She turned around and saw her husband Gu Tingzhi coming back from outside.
"The master of the house is awake?"
When Gu Tingzhi saw Zhou Xiaomeng, he quickened his steps. He was making loud noises, as if he had been crying, and his eyes were a little swollen, so he did not dare to look directly at Zhou Xiaomeng.
Zhou Xiaomeng faced the light and couldn't open her eyes, but she didn't notice it. She just asked, "Where are you going? Why is there no one there?"
"Yesterday, the head of the family said that the little boy can no longer drink goat's milk, so we thought about asking the eldest husband of the Chen family in the village who had just given birth to Lin'er to feed him some milk," Gu Tingzhi said, peeking secretly.
Zhou Xiaomeng glanced at it and said cautiously, "I want to discuss it with the head of the house, but I'm afraid that the head of the house was tired yesterday."
"Well, you did a good job. I was going to tell you this. Don't let others breastfeed for nothing. Bring something over there. If you can get it, you should take some of what you brought back yesterday.
.”
Zhou Xiaomeng nodded, then thought of something, and asked in surprise, "Who did you ask to breastfeed just now?"
"The eldest husband of the Chen family, Mr. Wang?"
Gu Tingzhi replied in a daze.
Zhou Xiaomeng was a little confused and wanted to ask something else, but seeing the doctor's surprised look, she had no choice but to swallow her words.
I tried hard to absorb the memory of the original owner, and then I remembered that this is a world where women are superior. This is not a simple sense of women being superior to men, but a world where the biological structure is completely opposite.
The one who carries the child here is a man, the one who breastfeeds the child is also a man, and only men feel uncomfortable for a few days every month.
My mother-in-law.
She remembered. No wonder she said last night that it was not convenient these days. The doctor's eyes were like knives.
She was a little dizzy and needed to think carefully.
"What's wrong with the master? Why does he look so bad?" Upon seeing this, the eldest husband Gu Tingzhi stepped forward to help her, but she waved her hand and refused.
"No, I just haven't eaten and I'm a little dizzy."
Zhou Xiaomeng quickly explained.
In fact, she was really hungry.
It's okay if I don't say it, but when I say this, my stomach really starts to growl.
"The rice has been prepared for the master of the house and has been kept warm in the pot. I will bring it to the master of the house."
The eldest husband, Gu Tingzhi, looked startled for a moment, then said hurriedly.
Zhou Xiaomeng nodded and went to the dining room to sit down in advance. He remembered that he didn't let the old man support him just now, and the old man seemed a little disappointed. Oh, don't be sentimental.
I have only worn it for a day, and in just one day, it is hard to believe that it has made people deeply loved.
Most likely I saw it wrong.
She picked up the rice soup and was about to drink it when she suddenly remembered something. She looked at the old man who was still giving her chopsticks and said, "You guys want to eat? What do you want to eat?"
"Eat it, it's the same as the master of the house." The doctor said carefully, twisting the handkerchief in his hand.
"Yeah, very good." Zhou Xiaomeng nodded and glanced at the jar where the rice was placed. There was indeed a little missing, and it wasn't hers alone.
"That's how it should be from now on. You're not allowed to eat those wild vegetables anymore." She ordered again.
"Yeah." Gu Tingzhi nodded. The ringing in his nose seemed to get worse, and his eye sockets hurt again.
Zhou Xiaomeng noticed something was wrong with him this time and wanted to get closer, but was so frightened that he covered his face with a handkerchief and ran away.
Zhou Xiaomeng shook her head and didn't ask any more questions.
…
It was still early and there was still some time before she left the stall, so she was in no hurry to go to the city.
After dinner, I went out, and I planned to take my bow and arrows and go for a walk in the mountains. If I was lucky, I could meet a lactating leopard, and then the boy's eating problem would be solved.
But isn’t a leopard so easy to hunt? Let alone one in lactation period?
She felt that her luck was not so good.
His eyes fell on the harpoon standing on the side, and then he thought of what Gu Tingzhi said about asking someone to breastfeed.
Fish soup is a good thing for lactation.
If I can fork the fish and deliver it, maybe I can change that person to feed Xiaolang for a few more days.
There was a river behind the village, and she remembered seeing fish in it.
He picked up the only wooden barrel at home, picked up the harpoon, and searched along the path.
…
Luck was on her side after all. In just half an hour, she caught six fish, each weighing one or two kilograms.
Two were sent to the Chen family, two were kept at home to replenish the husband's health, and the other two were taken to the city and sold to the banker's lady.
After making the plan, she took a shortcut to go home first, gave the fish to her husband, and asked them to take care of it.
But unexpectedly, I heard someone arguing, and the voice was very familiar.
There were few sounds that were familiar to her, so she couldn't help but stop and listen.
"Brother Lian, the child at home is sick. We just want to take on more work, make some money, and treat the child. What, if we take more work, it will be cheaper?"
It was the voice of the great man Gu Tingzhi. He seemed to be praying to someone for something, and his voice was very humble.
"Tingzhi, your family is in trouble, but whose family is not in trouble? You say this as if I am deliberately trying to embarrass you. This is not what I have the final say. I am just doing things for others. The master said that your family
If it's not clean, I won't let you wash it.
I'm the one who said it, they didn't use you, they just gave you less money. It doesn't matter if you don't appreciate me, why do you still say that?
Well, if you don’t want to take this job, there are many people who will take it. It’s not easy for us men to find something to do. If you don’t value it, others will naturally value it.”
"Brother Lian, that's not what I meant. I just want you to say good things to me, and we must take a good bath.
Brother Lian, you know, we wash clothes the old-fashioned way. Without the acacia and polyporus, the skin on our hands peeled off every time we washed them. The hands of several of my brothers were so painful that they couldn't sleep in the middle of the night.
