Chapter 60: Spend the first night at your new home
Gu Xiaoyou and Mrs. Zhou looked at each other and smiled happily.
"Sister Zhou, I'm going back to pack my luggage first, and I'll go over to help you later."
Gu Xiaoyou greeted Mrs. Zhou and saw Mrs. Zhou nodding.
She walked to Zhu Cheng's truck and said, "Zhu Cheng, help move my luggage in."
"Okay, leave it to me."
Zhu Cheng immediately got out of the car, opened the door of the truck, and moved Gu Xiaoyou's luggage inside with the workers.
The same was true for the Zhou family. Everyone joined the moving team and soon moved all the luggage in the truck into the house.
Gu Xiaoyou directed them to move the furniture to the correct location.
"Yes, the cabinet is placed directly opposite the bed. Could you please put my bathtub in the compartment..."
Gu Xiaoyou directed in an orderly manner. She didn't have many things, so she moved them in less than half an hour.
She took everyone to Zhou's house to help, and worked for more than an hour before finishing the tidying up.
Everyone was sweating and sat in the yard to rest.
Gu Xiaoyou wiped the sweat from his forehead and brought the pot of cooked mung bean soup to the main hall with Mrs. Zhou.
Yang He quickly stood up, took the pot and put it on the table.
Mrs. Zhou fetched another large bowl, and Gu Xiaoyou poured the ice cubes she bought in advance into the mung bean soup. The whole main hall instantly became cold.
Everyone's expressions became a little more relaxed.
Gu Xiaoyou and Zhou each held a spoon to serve soup. She took a bowl and handed it to Yang He next to her.
"Thank you for your hard work. Drink some mung bean soup to relieve the heat."
Yang He's face turned red, not sure if it was because it was hot. He took it shyly and said softly: "Thank you, Boss Gu."
Gu Xiaoyou smiled and continued to serve the soup and distribute it to everyone.
Liang'er also came over to help, holding mung bean soup and imitating what Gu Xiaoyou said: "Uncle, you have worked hard, drink some mung bean soup to relieve the heat."
The person who came to help took the mung bean soup, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Thank you, you are so good."
Liang'er smiled sheepishly and continued to help deliver soup.
After a while, everyone in the main hall had a bowl of mung bean soup in their hands and drank it with joy.
Gu Xiaoyou filled a bowl for Zhou, and just as he was about to hand it to her, Zhou reached out and handed over a bowl of mung bean soup.
"We thought about it together." Gu Xiaoyou picked up the soup and handed it to Mrs. Zhou, saying with a smile.
Mrs. Zhou took the soup and also smiled: "Let's drink together."
"Okay." Gu Xiaoyou picked up the soup bowl and finished the bowl of cold mung bean soup in a few mouthfuls.
“It’s really refreshing and relieves the heat.”
Gu Xiaoyou sighed comfortably, as if all the heat had been discharged.
She filled another bowl and drank a few mouthfuls, then shared the remaining mung bean soup with everyone and looked at the sky.
"Everyone has worked hard. I'll treat you all to a restaurant tonight."
"Boss Gu is too polite. We will help carry the things without having to treat him."
"Yeah, I'm not as tired as usual from moving groceries, so you're welcome."
"We didn't do anything, so why are we embarrassed to eat..."
"Yes, that's enough mung bean soup. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
"Then I'm leaving too..."
Everyone excused themselves one by one and stood up to leave.
Gu Xiaoyou quickly stopped and said loudly: "The rules in our hometown are that we must invite the people who help with the move to have a meal, otherwise it will be unlucky."
Everyone looked at each other and saw that Gu Xiaoyou's expression didn't seem to be fake, so they accepted Gu Xiaoyou's invitation.
The group of people drove their own cars and arrived at the restaurant.
Gu Xiaoyou arranged everyone in a large box and ordered food. Everyone had a hearty meal before they dispersed.
When everyone was almost gone, Gu Xiaoyou, Zhou, and Liang'er were sent home by Yang He.
Before Yang He left, Gu Xiaoyou said to him: "Come here in three days. I will hold a housewarming party and invite you to Wenju. Please inform Zhu Cheng for me."
"Okay." Yang He nodded in agreement: "Does Boss Gu have anything else to give you?"
"No, you can go home. You have worked hard today." Gu Xiaoyou said politely.
"It's not hard, I, I'll take my leave first." Yang He's ears turned red and he hurriedly drove away in the carriage.
Gu Xiaoyou watched the carriage disappear quickly at the entrance of the alley, and said funnyly: "The young man is quite afraid of the leader, walking so fast."
She looked away: "Sister Zhou, Liang'er, I'm going home first, see you tomorrow."
"Okay, if anything happens, just call us next door." Ms. Zhou warned worriedly.
"Yes, I know." Gu Xiaoyou waved his hand and walked into the house without looking back.
Zhou and Liang'er watched her enter before turning to go home.
Gu Xiaoyou locked the black wooden door and ran several laps in the yard.
"I have a new home, it's great."
She ran a few laps excitedly, broke out into a sweat, and her cheerful mood calmed down a little.
Thinking of the small cubicle in the room, Gu Xiaoyou quickly walked to the kitchen, boiled a pot of hot water, and poured it into the tub in the cubicle several times with a wooden bucket.
She stopped when the tub was two-thirds full.
Gu Xiaoyou tested the water temperature: "I need to add some cold water."
She went to the well and shook a bucket of water up. As she shook it, she sighed: "It's troublesome if we don't have running water."
Gu Xiaoyou filled a bucket of well water, and when he walked through the yard, he saw the small flowers in the yard, his eyes flashed, and he bent down to pick a few.
After the water temperature was adjusted, Gu Xiaoyou took out his phone and picked out some soothing music.
She took off her clothes and couldn't wait to sit in the tub.
"Ah, it feels so comfortable." Gu Xiaoyou sighed.
Gu Xiaoyou picked up the water on her shoulder, picked up the flowers she had just picked, and sprinkled the petals on the water one by one. After a while, the water was covered with petals.
Listening to music in his ears and soaking in the warm water filled with the fragrance of flowers, Gu Xiaoyou was in a happy mood.
"I finally have a life where I can take a bath. It's so comfortable."
Gu Xiaoyou picked up a cluster of flower petals and blew them, having a great time.
It wasn't until the water in the tub became a little cold that she stood up slowly, dried her body, picked up her phone, and walked out of the cubicle slowly.
He propped up the window with a small stick, and the gentle evening breeze blew in.
Gu Xiaoyou stood by the window for a while, blew out the candles, lay down on the bed, and spent the first night in his new home.
Early the next morning, there was a knock on the house door.
Gu Xiaoyou vaguely heard the sound of the door, and subconsciously wanted to call Sister Zhou, but suddenly remembered that she had moved to a new home and lived separately from Sister Zhou.
She put on her robe, put on her shoes casually, and ran out of the room.
Running and shouting: "Who is it?"
"It's me, I've brought you breakfast." Zhou's gentle voice sounded outside the door.
Gu Xiaoyou quickly ran to open the door, smiled at Mrs. Zhou and said, "Sister Zhou, why are you so early?"
"It's getting late, Liang'er has gone to school."
