Ai San An felt that the current life was not bad,
Gu Dong, who was full of aspirations, suddenly received a fierce blow.
Compared to the past, when he was alone,
He did not have enough to eat or wear. Gu Dong felt that the life with a family and a wife was really quite good,
Such a life made him feel comfortable and wonderful,
He felt very happy.
But just when he felt that everything was very good and was very satisfied with the current situation, Ai San An's words reminded him.
Was this kind of life really good?
Good, compared to before, it was so good that it was like a dream. But compared to other things? Although it was often said that those who were content were happy, no one really felt that such a life was very happy when they watched others live a life of luxury while they ate and swallowed vegetables beside them.
Gu Dong felt that some of Ai San An's words were really quite right.
During the days he was hospitalized,
He had seen and interacted with the city people,
Although he really did not feel that they were superior to the people from his village,
Even Gu Dong did not like them.
But there was one thing,
The people from the city did not have to bear the sun all day,
They came and went in the wind and rain. Just like when Zhiqing went to the countryside,
Because of the words "from the city", many villagers subconsciously felt that they were inferior to others,
They felt that they were not the same kind of people.
Duan Xue, Fu Fang, and Qi Fang's quality as a whole,
They were indeed better than the villagers in some aspects,
Even Cao Aiguo, whom he hated,
Sometimes he could even pull out a few lines of poetry.
Although he looked like a bookish gigolo,
It was only when one did not understand his character,
Standing there, he indeed looked more like a knowledgeable and cultured person than the young men in the village.
Everywhere there were people who suffered, everywhere there were people who enjoyed.
If he had not personally felt these differences, Gu Dong might not have such a strong sense of difference.
But these days, wave after wave of city people came to visit him, the "hero". There were workers, students, reporters, advanced youths from the nearby villages, cultural publicity officers, and even leaders of the county magistrate's Public Security Bureau.
Among these people, regardless of whether they were men or women, it was almost possible to roughly judge their living or working environment from the way they dressed and talked.
The environment, especially the living environment, left a mark on people. It was actually engraved in people's bones. No matter how approachable an official was, it was impossible for him to become good friends with the village's Er Ga Zi.
In the past, Gu Dong had food to eat, no hunger, and a chance to marry a wife. This was what he wanted. But now?
Was this kind of life really good? Would he really be like this for the rest of his life? Gu Dong asked himself in his heart.
As a man, it was fine for him to dig for food in the mud for the rest of his life. As long as he didn't complain or dislike it, no one else could say anything.
But what about Ai Cao? Let the Ai Cao follow him in that small village for the rest of his life, talking about all kinds of things and only seeing the land in the village every day?
The Ai Cao was not an ordinary person. She had her own secrets. She had food, and it seemed like she had a lot. She did not have to worry about food and clothing, but during the autumn harvest, she still had to work hard in the fields with him.
What if one day, the Ai Cao got tired of living like this and left by herself?
That's right. If the Ai Cao did not want to live like this anymore and left him and this home, then what should he do?
When he thought of this possibility, Gu Dong's brain instantly felt like it was struck by lightning.
Previously, he did not ask about the Ai Cao because he did not want to force her. He wanted to respect her and wait until she was willing to tell him.
But now, there were some things that he could not touch or hold. A huge panic took over Gu Dong's heart. He had a feeling that the Ai Cao would disappear at any time.
He was a "brat" from a landlord's family. He had no parents and was considered half illiterate. Speaking of which, although he did not think that he was illiterate, if he really put his conditions out there, he would not even be as good as the Ai San An in the village.
The more Gu Dong thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. It was extremely uncomfortable.
When the Ai Cao came back, she looked at the man lying on the hospital bed in a daze. His eyes were unfocused, and she did not know what he was thinking about. She gently patted Gu Dong's arm.
"What's wrong? What are you thinking about? Didn't you notice that I came into the room? "The Ai Cao smiled.
Gu Dong looked at his wife's current face. He could not remember how the Ai Cao looked when she first entered the Gu family.
In his memory, he clearly felt that she was black and ugly and had a deep impression. But now, he could not remember how that face looked like.
All he could think of was the Ai Cao's bright and beautiful smile now.
The Ai Cao had been in the Gu family for a little more than two months. She had really changed a lot. Gu Dong looked at the Ai Cao's increasingly fair and tender cheeks. He felt that he was really careless and had unknowingly missed out on something.
"What are you looking at? Is there a vegetable leaf on my face? "The Ai Cao saw that Gu Dong was staring at her face without blinking. She immediately blushed.
"You seem to have changed a lot these days. Your face that used to be very dark and ugly has unknowingly become more and more beautiful." Gu Dong stared straight at the Ai Cao's face. He was so serious that he seemed to want to see through the hidden meaning behind it.
As a couple who had lived together for so long, the Ai Cao could not help but think about the meaning behind Gu Dong's words and the state he was in.
However, she herself had changed a lot. Since the autumn harvest, it had been obvious. Especially when Gu Dong was hospitalized, some things had changed visibly.
In the past, the original owner's skin was rough and oily. After becoming the Ai Cao, she had worked hard to change it from the moment she entered the Gu family. She cleaned herself carefully every day and tried her best to reduce the sun's strong rays.
Later, when she had Zhuangzi, she would hide in the Zhuangzi and take flower petal baths whenever she had time. Every day during the autumn harvest was very busy and tiring. After Gu Dong had dinner and washed up, he lay on the bed and fell asleep not long after.
At this time, the Ai Cao would go to the backyard under the moonlight. Even if she was discovered not in the house, she could say that she went to the toilet. Also, time in Zhuangzi moved slower than in the real world. When the Ai Cao was inside, she would take a comfortable bath before going to bed.
They shared the same bed all day long, and as soon as they entered the field, they would immediately be covered in dust and dirt. Therefore, those who paid attention would notice the changes in the mugwort, but they wouldn't be too surprised.
The real changes that were visible to the naked eye started when Gu Dong was admitted to the village hospital.
In order to supplement Gu Dong's nutrition, the Ai Cao would secretly make all kinds of food in Zhuangzi. However, as a patient, Gu Dong could only eat a limited amount of food. In the end, most of the food ended up in the Ai Cao's stomach.
The continuous skin care, as well as the constant supply of fruits, chicken, duck, and fish nutrition, caused her entire person, from her physical state to her mental state, had undergone a great change.
Even when she was living in Zhuang Yan's house these days, when she washed up in the morning and looked at her face in the mirror, she felt that it was familiar but unfamiliar.
This was because she was becoming less and less like when she first entered this body. The Ai Cao's face that she was accustomed to was slowly changing. Her face now was becoming more and more like the Ai Zhi of her previous life.
Her facial features were small and delicate. She had cherry lips and willowy eyebrows. Cute baby fat appeared on her round face.
"Is there anything you want to ask?" The Ai Cao did not have any intention of changing her husband for the time being. She planned to spend the rest of her life with Gu Dong. She had to tell Gu Dong everything.
"I …" Gu Dong wanted to ask, but no sound came out of his mouth. All the doubts and puzzlement turned into questions that were stuck in his throat. He did not know how to ask or how to answer.
Sometimes, people should not be too curious.
There were some things that once asked, there was no turning back.
Gu Dong was afraid that the Ai Cao would not be able to bear the consequences after she told him. Or perhaps, the Ai Cao would hide some secrets after she told him. Then, like the Fox Fairy in the ghost stories, she would disappear from his life.
"I … I … forget it. I don't have anything to ask." Gu Dong shook his head slightly and curled his lips into a self-deprecating smile. He was really a coward. He was afraid of losing something, so he would rather escape.
"Oh, you don't. But I happen to have something to tell you." This time, the Ai Cao looked at Gu Dong and said each word very seriously.
Some things had to come to an end. The recent series of events made the Ai Cao feel that if she did not tell Gu Dong, she and Gu Dong would go further and further apart.
She did not want any misunderstandings between them. If they wanted to live a good life together, the most important thing for a husband and wife was to be united.
