Chapter 61: New Home Life

"Sister Zhou, what delicious food did you cook?"

Gu Xiaoyou moved her nose and sniffed the fragrance in the air.

"I did……"

Mrs. Zhou put down her breakfast in the main hall and turned around to see Gu Xiaoyou. She was wearing clothes in a haphazard manner and the shoes on her feet were not the same pair.

The expression on her face suddenly turned a little helpless: "You quickly put your clothes on and change your shoes."

Gu Xiaoyou looked down and said sheepishly: "I'm too anxious."

"What's the rush? Just shout and I'll wait for you at the door. Okay, go back to your room and change your clothes before going out to eat."

Mrs. Zhou pushed Gu Xiaoyou's shoulders and forced her into the room.

Gu Xiaoyou stuck out her tongue and quickly changed her clothes and shoes.

As soon as she stepped out of the room, Mrs. Zhou brought a basin of hot water over and said, "You haven't washed up yet."

"Yeah." Gu Xiaoyou nodded slightly.

"Wash up first." Mrs. Zhou brought the basin into the cubicle, and Gu Xiaoyou obediently rolled up her sleeves and prepared to wash her face.

Seeing that the bathtub in the cubicle was still full, Mrs. Zhou filled the bathtub with water, used a brush to clean it, and wiped the floor of the cubicle clean.

By the time Gu Xiaoyou finished washing, the cubicle had been tidied up by Mrs. Zhou.

Gu Xiaoyou looked at the brand new cubicle and said dumbfounded: "Sister Zhou, you are too fast."

"It's just work." Mrs. Zhou adjusted Gu Xiaoyou's collar: "Okay, let's eat."

Gu Xiaoyou was still dazed, but Mrs. Zhou directly led her into the main hall, brought her to the round table, held her shoulders and sat down.

"Eat." Zhou's voice sounded above her head.

Only then did Gu Xiaoyou come to his senses, pick up the bowl that Zhou had filled with rice, and start eating.

Mrs. Zhou sat down opposite and watched Xiaoyou eating with gusto, a loving smile on her face.

Gu Xiaoyou inadvertently raised her eyes to look at Mrs. Zhou, as if her mother was sitting opposite her.

She swallowed the food in her mouth: "Sister Zhou, do you think I am Liang'er?"

Sister Zhou chuckled: "You are indeed as naughty as Liang'er sometimes."

Gu Xiaoyou stuck out his tongue: "My childlike innocence is still intact."

"Okay, okay, just keep your childlike innocence."

Knowing that she couldn't defeat her, Zhou stopped arguing with Gu Xiaoyou and took a look at the sky.

"You eat first, I have to go."

"Why are you so anxious?"

Gu Xiaoyou looked at his phone and saw that it was only eight o'clock in the morning.

"After I go to the paper shop, I have to go to supervise the work of Banlangen. If I don't leave, it will be too late."

Zhou said something and left in a hurry.

Gu Xiaoyou looked at Zhou's disappearing figure and sighed: "She is really a woman like the wind."

She finished her breakfast slowly, put away the dishes, and left the house.

Passing by the paper shop, Gu Xiaoyou wanted to go over and help, but a carriage stopped at the door.

Yang He was seen getting off the carriage. He put the toilet paper in and did not leave immediately.

Instead, he helped the waiter lay out the toilet paper, and helped Mr. Zhou look at the counter for a while.

He only left when he saw Mr. Zhou and his waiters coming over.

Gu Xiaoyou stood across the street, taking in everything, and suddenly had an idea in his mind.

In the evening, Gu Xiaoyou took the bowls and chopsticks to the next door to have dinner.

Mrs. Zhou was cooking in the kitchen, and the fabric behind her was a little wet.

Gu Xiaoyou walked in quickly: "Sister Zhou, let me help you."

"No, you can eat this dish once it's fried." Mrs. Zhou thought of it and refused without thinking: "The kitchen is hot, you can go out first."

"Then I'll help you put the dishes on the table."

Gu Xiaoyou put the bowls and chopsticks aside and walked out of the kitchen with a plate of food in one hand.

The main hall and the kitchen are not far apart, just a few steps away.

Liang'er smelled the delicious food and walked out of the room, followed by the little yellow dog wagging its tail.

When he saw Gu Xiaoyou, he said happily: "Aunt Gu, you are here!"

"Well, wash your hands quickly and let's start dinner."

"Okay." Liang'er went to the well and shook the water neatly.

Gu Xiaoyou originally wanted to help, but when she saw Liang'er's moves that were more skillful than hers, she touched her nose and continued to the kitchen to serve the food.

The table was quickly filled with dinner.

Gu Xiaoyou looked at the sumptuous dishes and smacked his lips: "Sister Zhou, you have cooked too much."

"You have worked hard at the doctor. You need to eat more to replenish your body."

Mrs. Zhou said as she served Gu Xiaoyou some dishes.

Gu Xiaoyou shook his head: "I'm not working hard. There are few people seeing doctors. Most of them come to buy isatis root."

Under Gu Xiaoyou's treatment, there are no more mumps cases in the towns near Qingcheng County.

But as a medicine that can clear away heat and detoxify, people still buy isatis root.

"That's also because of you. Eat more."

Mrs. Zhou continued to serve Gu Xiaoyou with serving chopsticks, but she didn't eat it herself.

Gu Xiaoyou stopped her for a few words, but Zhou still only looked at her.

She had no choice but to put on a straight face, pretend to be unhappy, and said, "Sister Zhou, if you are like this, I will be embarrassed to come to dinner."

Probably because of buying a house, Mr. Zhou was several times nicer to her, which made Gu Xiaoyou a little at a loss.

Mrs. Zhou put down her serving chopsticks in a panic: "I'm sorry, Xiaoyou, I made you angry."

Gu Xiaoyou sighed: "Sister Zhou, I'm not angry. I just hope that you can be the same as before. The dishes will be cooked according to the previous standards, and we can each eat our own meals, so we can be more comfortable."

Mrs. Zhou nodded in understanding, then put down the serving chopsticks and picked up the bowl and chopsticks to eat.

Gu Xiaoyou breathed a sigh of relief and started eating a little more comfortably.

After dinner, she helped Zhou clean up the dishes as usual. Zhou originally wanted to stop her, but thinking of Gu Xiaoyou's words, she suppressed her thoughts of dissuasion.

It's just that the movements of his hands were a little faster, and he finished all the work before Gu Xiaoyou.

Gu Xiaoyou only delivered the dinner plate once and then had nothing to do.

She rubbed her hands helplessly and teased the little yellow dog for a while: "Sister Zhou, I'm going home."

"Okay, I'll give it to you."

Mrs. Zhou sent Gu Xiaoyou back to the house, watched her lock the door, and then walked back.

The next morning, Gu Xiaoyou got up early and went directly to the next door to knock on the door.

"Sister Zhou, I'm here."

"Hey, I'll open the door right now."

There was a sound of footsteps, and the brown door opened.

Zhou smiled and asked, "Why did you get up so early today?"

"I have something to do today, so I got up early on purpose." Gu Xiaoyou replied casually.

"Just in time to have dinner together."

Mrs. Zhou took Gu Xiaoyou to the main hall, and the two of them had a simple breakfast.

Before Gu Xiaoyou could take care of things, Zhou was working ahead of her again.

She looked at Mrs. Zhou's busy back and said softly: "Sister Zhou, are you tired from managing two shops every day?"

Mrs. Zhou wiped her hands with a towel, thought for a while and said: "The paper shop is a little busier, and the Banlangen shop will be better with Sister Zheng's help."
