Just like before, Gu Huaijin stood at the door at the same time every morning, waiting for Cai Xiaoman's arrival.
But today is different, when Cai Xiaoman sees him, he can't help but think of the embarrassment that day, and the words that his old mother whispered in his ear, so it is difficult to say hello as usual.
For the first time, she discovered that the little one in her original impression had grown up now. Although he still looks like a teenager, his temperament has become more and more stable, as reliable as an adult. She didn't know when it started, but the first thing she thought of was him, and she thought he was a reliable person.
Gu Huaijin saw that her eyes were wandering, and she looked embarrassed and hesitated to speak, and knew that she was still concerned about what happened that day.
He gave a fake cough and said, "Why, won't you forget me after being sick for a few days?"
"It's not my brain that's sick." Cai Xiaoman said unhappily, hinting to himself in his heart, it's just that he accidentally let people know that his aunt is not something to be ashamed of, and she's not a real little girl, so what's there to be ashamed of? .
Thinking of it this way, he suddenly became confident.
It's just that the tone is a little bluff, not as carefree as usual.
Seeing this, Gu Huaijin laughed: "I thought you wouldn't talk to me anymore, you didn't come to me like you did before when you came here yesterday."
Although Cai Xiaoman has a caring family and good partners, Gu Huaijin is the one who has the most common topics.
She couldn't change some language habits in her previous life, or she didn't plan to change them, and didn't want to erase her past memories. Sometimes what she said was hard for others to understand. Everyone didn't take it seriously, thinking that she was a fool before, and it's normal for her to be a little confused.
When communicating, she is not as casual and free as she is in front of Gu Huaijin. The other party can always understand her strange words, and accept her strange thoughts well, without feeling incomprehensible.
In addition, the other party is well-informed and knowledgeable, so she will not be limited to the shortcoming of the parents when chatting. So when they are free, the two of them often chat, chatting all over the world, which feels very comfortable.
But now that he is being told that he has grown up, thinking of the rules here, he always feels that he has to start avoiding suspicion.
There is no impenetrable wall in the world, she'd better pay attention. Even if she is not afraid, she still has to take care of Gu Huaijin. In addition, I always felt embarrassed, so I didn't go to him as usual yesterday.
She didn't expect Gu Huaijin to say it so bluntly, which made her a little at a loss.
"What are you thinking about, I just happened to be yesterday, and I have a lot of things to deal with, so I don't have time to come here."
"Really?" Gu Huaijin looked at her with dark eyes.
Cai Xiaoman snorted coldly: "Otherwise?"
Gu Huaijin suddenly laughed, bright: "Then I can rest assured."
Although the two of them behaved as usual, the atmosphere was different after all. I can't tell what's different, but it's just a little weird.
"I'll do this one." Gu Huaijin took away the bucket that Cai Xiaoman carried on his shoulder, and motioned her to take the ordinary bucket from his house.
Cai's buckets are much larger than ordinary buckets, and they hold twice as much water as ordinary buckets.
"Why?" Cai Xiaoman was puzzled, didn't she use this bucket all the time.
Gu Huaijin didn't look at her, but said: "Let's change."
"Why do you need to change it? I still have to use this bucket to carry water home in a while. It's so troublesome to change it back and forth."
Every morning, the two of them would carry water together. Gu Huaijin was not that frail scholar, so carrying a few buckets of water was not a problem. The two of them filled up the big water tank together every morning, and then Cai Xiaoman carried water back home.
Gu Huaijin pursed her lips, and said after a while: "You'd better pay attention to it in the future, so as not tobe uncomfortable again in the future."
With a swipe, Cai Xiaoman's ears turned red.
"It doesn't matter where it is! It doesn't matter, okay!"
Cai Xiaoman was a little dumbfounded. Although being too tired would affect it, it wasn't too hard for her to pick this little water. I have been here all these years, so it is a bit late to say this now.
"You are a woman after all, it is better to do less heavy work." Gu Huaijin said seriously.
Cai Xiaoman bared his teeth: "It's not like you don't know my strength, this is not a problem to me at all."
Gu Huaijin wanted to say something else, but Cai Xiaoman interrupted directly: "Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up and fetch water."
It was only when my aunt visited that I realized it.??She is a woman, I really don't know whether to cry or laugh. Her old mother was still messing up her ideas, and none of her little friends regarded her as a girl.
In fact, Gu Huaijin has always felt that it is inappropriate for her to carry such a large bucket of water every day, even knowing that she is strong, she still thinks it is inappropriate. Now that she came to the monthly letter, she was lying on the bed so uncomfortable that she couldn't even take care of business, so she knew it must be very uncomfortable.
Now seeing her alone, carrying such a big bucket of water, she is even more displeased.
"Don't rely on your good health and not pay attention to anything." Gu Huaijin said seriously.
Cai Xiaoman originally wanted to stop him with a joke, but seeing his serious face, thinking that he also cared about her, the words got out of his mouth and went back.
Are the people here so open? When I first came to my aunt in my previous life, I felt ashamed when I went to buy a sanitary napkin and met a male classmate, but now I actually started chatting with her. And the other party is still Gu Huaijin, which is really unexpected to her.
"Don't worry, I love my body more than anyone else." Cai Xiaoman said this with deep affection. With the experience of her previous life, she would never force herself.
However, Gu Huaijin still insisted on picking the big bucket of water by himself. If it wasn't for the fear of people seeing it and causing criticism, he would also want to help her pick it up and take it home.
Also because of this incident, Cai Xiaoman discovered that she had miscalculated Gu Huaijin. Although he knew that he was not weak, and even learned some leg skills, he was much more agile than her in dancing swords, and his bow and arrows were also more accurate than her.
But I was quite surprised to see him easily pick up her bucket.
You must know that her bucket of water is quite strenuous even for an adult man. And Gu Huaijin didn't have the slightest look in front of her, that seemingly thin body was full of explosive power.
"You are so powerful, you usually hide your secrets and pretend to be weak!" Cai Xiaoman looked him up and down, and couldn't help teasing.
Gu Huaijin smiled helplessly: "You have wronged me, obviously you don't trust me, and you always feel that I can't carry my shoulders or my hands."
It seems that this is the case
Cai Xiaoman feels that his strength is infinite, and everyone is weak. Except for Iron Hammer, everyone else in the Bull Gang has brains and should be protected by them. Every time she does a job that requires a little effort, she rushes to do it. Zhu Wushuang's classic line "Let me do it!" has become her mantra.
She would be angry if her job was taken away.
No way, even after such a long time, she still retains a sense of freshness about her golden finger of infinite strength. Every time she does it, she feels that she is super powerful, and she is more excited than being affirmed in food.
"Hey, isn't that how you are compared to me." Cai Xiaoman said proudly, "A group of us, only the hammer can make me look a little better in this respect."
Gu Huaijin was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "The hammer and the swallow are a pair."
"Ah?" Cai Xiaoman was a little overwhelmed, why did he suddenly jump here, but soon his thoughts followed: "Really?! When did they have an affair?!"
Cai Xiaoman was very surprised, although he knew that Hammer and Swallow had often cooperated in the past, Hammer protected Swallow's safety, and Swallow helped Hammer settle accounts. The Yanziniang doesn't let the Yanzi run outside now, and the Qin family happens to be pregnant again, so she goes to set up a stall for the Qin family, and Tie Hammer often goes to help.
But for some reason, Cai Xiaoman just didn't think about that, he felt that they were all brothers of the Bull Gang, and forgot about gender.
"No wonder I think it's weird for two people to be together." Cai Xiaoman tutted, if two people were together, she would like to hear it. Yanzi is a capable and kind girl, it would be a pity to marry someone else and be tied down in the back house.
But if you marry Tie Hammer, you don't have to worry, Swallow can still do what she wants.
And with the strong backing of the hammer, Yanzi's family is not afraid of being targeted by Xiaoxiao. The orphans and widows of Yanzi's family are all girls. Although the uncle's matter is over, they are still easy targets for bullying.
How powerful is the Hammer family, it can scare people to death at any stop.
"Aren't you sad?"
Cai Xiaoman was stunned for a moment: "Why are you sad?"
Gu Huaijin has been paying attention to her expression. Seeing her like this, she immediately laughed: "I'm sorry that I was the last one to know about this."
"Do I gossip like this!" Cai Xiaoman said angrily, "However, you all guessed it, and I was the only one who didn't notice it? Wow, why do I feel like I'm mentally retarded."
Gu Huaijin patted her head: "Good boy, I won't dislike you."
"How many times have I said, don't touch my hair!"
Gu Huaijin looked her up and down: "You mean to let me touch your other places? How can this be so embarrassing."
