Rebirth in the 70s: A rough man’s husband pinches his waist and dotes on him

Xiaotian brought them into the house and said, "Sister-in-law, you and Zhiyuan can take a rest first. I will go get you some food."

Lin Qingping was stunned for a moment.

This moment seems familiar.

"What's wrong, sister-in-law? Is there anything else you need?" Oda asked her when he saw that she looked strange.

Lin Qingping came back to her senses and smiled, "No, thank you Xiaotian, you go ahead and do your work, I can make something to eat myself."

Xiaotian was a little embarrassed. "It's no trouble, sister-in-law. Master Gu has nothing here."

Well, Lin Qingping also noticed that the things in this room were extremely simple. There was only a bed, a table, a chair, and a closet for clothes. That was all.

Now that she and Zhiyuan come here, only one of them has a chair to sit on, and the other has to sit on the bed!

Lin Qingping looked at Zhiyuan. Zhiyuan had been in an excited state since he got off the train. Now, standing in this almost empty room, he was still very happy.

She couldn't help but ask, "Are you so happy to come to your father Gu's place?"

Zhiyuan's smile immediately faded, "Mom..."

Lin Qingping snorted, "After you finish your meal, come and start working with me?"

"What...what kind of work?" Zhiyuan looked around, but had no idea what kind of work there was to do in this empty place.

After Xiaotian brought them the meal, Lin Qingping asked Xiaotian all sorts of questions while eating. He also asked him to borrow some tools and made a list of what he wanted to buy.

In fact, it is not impossible for her to take a boat out to buy it herself, but this is a military unit, she is new here and does not understand the rules here, so it is better to let Oda arrange it.

Xiaotian browsed through it and nodded, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, you can take a nap after dinner, and I will deliver the things in the afternoon. These are easy to get."

Lin Qingping and his friends did not get a good rest on the train. After dinner, they wanted to sleep, but found that there was not even a place to take a shower in the room. There was a toothbrush cup and a toothbrush by the kitchen sink, and of course toothpaste and a towel.

Even so, I can’t sleep!

Lin Qingping simply didn't want to sleep. She took out a notebook from her bag and started writing and drawing on it.

In the afternoon, Oda brought her what she wanted: wood, carpentry tools, paint, painting tools, stove, kettle, etc.

There were also several little soldiers placed in a pile in the yard.

Xiaotian meant that if Lin Qingping wanted to do something, he should leave these young soldiers to help.

Of course Lin Qingping did not accept it. Fearing that it would delay their work, he politely sent Xiaotian and the young soldiers away, and then started to work with Zhiyuan.

She wants to make some furniture.

When they built their first home in the capital, all the housework was done by Gu Juncheng. In fact, it’s not that she is incapable, but how could Gu Juncheng at that time let her do such heavy work?

But what hasn't she done?

In her previous life, she ran a restaurant, which started out as a profit, then went on to lose everything and then started over again. In order to save on renovation costs, she did all the painting and renovation herself, and except for hiring a plumber, she did everything else herself.

This empty house now needed a lot of things to fill it up. She didn't have time, so she had to focus on the important things first.

While she was busy, Oda brought people to deliver some things again. This time they delivered a bed, two cabinets and a square table. They even delivered toiletries, coal, iron pots, bowls, chopsticks and plates, as well as two fish and some vegetables. The two fish were brought in a basin.

Xiaotian is still very careful. With these pieces of furniture, Lin Qingping's workload suddenly decreased a lot.

This house has a typical structure of a unit house from the 1980s, with a very small living room, two rooms, and a kitchen. Fortunately, there is a bathroom, so there is no need to go to the public toilet.

The kitchen is quite big.

Lin Qingping began to work, starting with making a sofa frame.

But she hasn't done this job for decades, so her efficiency is really low. She is also afraid of making a mistake and wasting wood, which would make her efficiency even lower.

Until the evening, there was not much progress, but Zhiyuan followed her and helped her carry the wooden board.

Neighbors on both sides noticed her and looked at her secretly, but when she tried to say hello in a friendly way, they moved away.

Lin Qingping had no choice but to smile, put down his tools, and go back to the house to prepare dinner.

In fact, she could still go to the cafeteria to eat, but the two fresh fish in the basin made her want to cook by herself.

The island is surrounded by the sea, so seafood is easier to get than meat. These two fish are groupers. Oda brought them together in a basin, so I guess they were raised in seawater.

An empty stove needs a fire.

The shavings from planing wood in the afternoon can be used as kindling. After lighting them, throw them into the stove, put the coal on it, and soon the coal will be burning red.

Lin Qingping put the pot on the stove and cooked some rice first. She called Zhiyuan in to wash the onions, peel the garlic and wash the vegetables. She cleaned the two fish herself and prepared to steam them simply.

There were actually chili peppers among the vegetables that Oda sent, so she chopped the chili peppers and garlic into powder, made a dip for the raw chili garlic paste, and fried some green leafy vegetables. That was enough for her and her mother to eat.

She used the square table that Oda gave her as a dining table and placed it in the kitchen. The kitchen was big enough, just right, but a little hot, so she had to add a fan.

While eating, she was thinking, steamed fish dipped in raw chili and garlic paste would be so appetizing and delicious!

Zhiyuan found it quite novel that she ate like this, so he also dipped it in chili pepper. This greedy little creature was not afraid of any kind of food, and didn't even feel it was spicy. She ate with such appetite that she was sweating profusely, and even ate three bowls of rice.

"Don't overeat!" Lin Qingping said to him.

"I know!" He cleaned up every last grain of rice.

The mother and daughter ate up all the two fish.

Lin Qingping found it funny and started to boil water with a kettle on the stove. After a busy day, he was sticky all over and finally he could take a good bath.

While she was boiling water, a guest came - Lei Sufang.

Lin Qingping was very happy to meet an acquaintance again on the island.

Lei Sufang brought her some fruits: pineapple and watermelon.

"Our Lao Chen came here with Master Gu, and he just told me that you were here." Lei Sufang said to her enthusiastically, "These men are really good at keeping it a secret!"

Lin Qingping smiled and didn't say that she wanted them to keep it a secret, but she didn't expect that it was kept secret so tightly.

After sitting for a while, Lei Sufang got up and left for fear of disturbing their rest. She also told her that if she needed anything on the island, she could come to her and tell her that if she wanted to eat any vegetables, she had them in her garden and she could just pick them. She lived at the easternmost end of the row of houses.

"Okay!" Lin Qingping accepted Lei Sufang's enthusiasm and kindness without hesitation.

After Lei Sufang left, Lin Qingping and Zhiyuan took a hot bath one after another. Although it was not as convenient as in the capital, it was still much more comfortable after a full body shower. Then they cut the watermelon that Lei Sufang brought, opened the door, enjoyed the breeze, and ate the watermelon. All the fatigue of the day disappeared.

Zhiyuan sat on the chair, his eyes shining, and asked her, "Mom, does Dad Gu not know that we are coming?"
