Chapter 16 Threatened

Before Lu Fuer could react, he blushed first.

Holding the potatoes and sweet potatoes with his head down, he scooped up half a basin of water and went to the vegetable garden to wash them.

The yard grows leeks, garlic sprouts, and shallots.

He is delicate and can raise everything well.

It was so dark that it was almost impossible to see clearly, so Lu Fu'er lit the kerosene lamp with the torch that Gu Chuxiao gave her, and stood beside him with the lamp to help him illuminate.

"Let me stir-fry spicy potato shreds. Aunt Zhang gave me a handful of spicy shredded potatoes two days ago, which happened to be fried with potatoes."

After washing the potatoes and sweet potatoes, Gu Chuxiao got up and went back to the kitchen, took a kitchen knife and hurried out, which startled Lu Fuer a lot: "What are you doing with the kitchen knife?"

Gu Chuxiao laughed, "Peel the potatoes!"

After finishing speaking, he took out a round potato and tossed it in his hand: "Look!"

Under a smooth operation, the potatoes were peeled off their skins.

Lu Fuer stared at Gu Chuxiao's hands in rapt attention. Although his fingers were fair and slender, the backs of his hands were also very rough due to years of hard work.

There are even some minor cuts and scratches on it.

There was still a bandage wrapped around his arm, even so, he gritted his teeth and worked all afternoon.

Such a hard-working man who protects his wife and scrambles to work and do housework is quite explosive in the entire husband world.

After peeling, Gu Chuxiao washed the potatoes and sweet potatoes again before returning to the kitchen to cook.

Lu Fuer helped him light the fire.

There are usually two pots on the stove in the countryside, and Gu Chuxiao's house is no exception.

Stir-fry vegetables in the front pot, cook sweet potato grits porridge in the back pot, and add steamed steamed buns and sweet potatoes on top.

The shredded potatoes were fried very quickly, and Gu Chuxiao washed the pot after serving the dishes.

In order to prevent the pot from burning dry, he scooped up a few more ladles of water and said, "Go back to live with my parents tomorrow, it's not convenient to do anything here."

"it is good."

Lu Fu'er didn't ask the reason, but Gu Chuxiao moved her lips, but still didn't explain.

When the porridge was almost done, he wiped the table and saw Lu Fuer holding a shovel and trying to extinguish the fire: "Don't worry about the fire, just let it burn."

Lu Fuer responded, washed her hands and went to eat.

After eating, Gu Chuxiao looked at the large pot of hot water and suggested, "Do you want to take a bath?"

"is it okay?"

Although Lu Fuer really wanted to take a bath, it was really not that convenient now and the water resources in the countryside were not very developed. Gu Chuxiao usually went to the village well to fetch water.

So she was a little embarrassed.

Gu Chuxiao brought out a relatively large wooden basin from another cave, made gestures and nodded affirmatively: "You are so thin, you should be able to wash it."

"This is the wooden basin I used to bathe when I was a child, but I grew up too fast, and I became a man at fifteen or sixteen, so I couldn't sit in it at all."

While scalding the basin with boiling water, he talked about the origin of the wooden basin.

Lu Fuer watched him wash the dishes with great interest: "Then we will build the house and we can make a shower room."

"what is this?"

Lu Fuer dipped her fingers in some water, and drew a schematic diagram on the table: "Look at this, there is a hollow shower head, the shower head can be connected to the water tank, and a valve is installed in the water pipe, and it will be turned on when water is needed."

Gu Chuxiao nodded thoughtfully: "I'll make one for you then."

Lu Fuer nodded: "Okay, but it doesn't matter if you can't do it."

After rubbing the wooden basin with soap locusts again, Gu Chuxiao was relieved: "Okay, there is cold water in the tank, just wash it with it."

After speaking, he hurriedly exited the kitchen.

After sitting on the edge of the kang, he couldn't help but pick up the pole to fetch water from a nearby well.

The moonlight is quite bright tonight, and there are no pedestrians on the road.

Halfway there, he was worried that there would be no danger for Lu Fuer to take a bath in the kitchen alone without a concierge.

He hurried back again.

Sure enough, his sixth sense is really surprisingly accurate.

When he was still 30 meters away from his home, he saw a furtive figure beside the mound of his gatehouse from a distance.

His heart was in his throat in an instant, and he strode forward quickly but slowly, lest he would startle the thief.

When he saw the appearance of the person coming, his violent temper could not be suppressed in an instant.

"Jiang Zhiqing, instead of going to the provincial capital to recuperate, what are you doing at my house? Do you want to knock down my back kiln next time?"

He shouted angrily, which really shocked Jiang Lei. Before Jiang Lei could react, Gu Chuxiao threw the pole and wooden bucket aside, and walked out holding his hand: "What are you doing here?"

"I'm looking for Lu Fuer, let me go!"

Jiang Lei's wrist hurt from being pinched by him, but he couldn't break free for a while, so he could only grit his teeth and withdraw his hand: "Don't grab me."

Knowing that he was in pain, Gu Chuxiao intentionally increased the strength in his hand: "Lu Fuer is my wife, so it's the same if you have something to say to me."

"Tell you? Tell you that you understand?"

This sentence really hit Gu Chuxiao's back. Ever since he fell in love with Lu Fuer, he has always felt inferior because of the mismatch in education and family.

Fortunately, the Lu family didn't dislike him, so they married Lu Fu'er to him even though he had nothing.

He was very grateful, so he always tried his best to take care of Lu Fuer the best.

Looking at Jiang Lei who was full of sarcasm, Gu Chuxiao gritted his teeth and looked at him: "No one in the world loves Lu Fuer more than me, and only I can give her happiness."

Jiang Lei grinned loudly as if he heard some joke: "It's funny, can you give her happiness? With your ability to open your eyes and be blind, or the strength of your family? The work points you earn can't even support yourself , you talk to me about happiness?"

"I have strength!"

Gu Chuxiao couldn't help clenching his fists tightly, and his chest heaved violently. Jiang Lei mercilessly exposed all his shortcomings and shortcomings, which made his heart feel stuffy.

"Strength? Just relying on your scorpions? All these years, people in the village have known about your opportunism. They didn't sue you just because you saw how pitiful your orphan is. If I went to the county to sue you once, guess what Lu Fuer Will she become a new little widow?"

"you"

Gu Chuxiao's silver teeth were about to be bitten to pieces, and he dragged him out by his collar. Jiang Lei was no match for the moment, so Gu Chuxiao could only drag him tens of meters away into the field ridge like pulling garbage. leave.

"Gu Chuxiao, just wait for me!"

In the open field, Jiang Lei's voice was particularly loud.

Gu Chuxiao was furious, and when he got home, he found a bamboo cage and put all the scorpions in the house into it.

Five cages were fully installed, and the weight was weighed, at least three or four catties.

After Lu Fuer took a shower and went out, he took Lu Fuer back to Lu's house: "Jiang Lei came here just now and said that he wanted to report me about selling scorpions for profiteering."

"I'm not at ease. I'd better sell all these scorpions now, and not give him the chance to report me."

"it is good."

After Lu Weiguo knew what was going on, he put on his clothes and walked with him: "Let's go, at least there will be someone to take care of you on the way."

Looking at the moon in the sky, Zhou Yulan still gave them two kerosene lamps without worrying: "I see clouds in the sky, don't go halfway and lose sight of the road."

After they left, Lu Fuer looked at Zhou Yulan's worried face, and was a little curious: "Mom, why are you and Dad treating Gu Chuxiao so well?"
