I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl

Chapter 109 A thoughtful gift

Bai Jingzhou couldn't help laughing, "These are what I want to do. Or to be more precise, making you happy is what I want to do."

Gu Wenxuan was in a complicated mood. After a moment of silence, she said sullenly, "Fool."

This was not the first time she had said this to Bai Jingzhou. This child was different from her. She was a typical example of selfishness and willfulness, but this child seemed to be born with the maximum level of lover skills.

Although he was happy that Gu Wenxuan cared about his mood and feelings, Bai Jingzhou didn't want Gu Wenxuan to feel bad about it.

He smiled and changed the subject, "Besides these, I can actually do other things."

Seeing Gu Wenxuan waiting for him to continue with curiosity, Bai Jingzhou raised his lips and smiled, "I can weave cute little animals with straw, and I can also twist straw ropes, weave straw shoes, and weave baskets, baskets, dustpans and other common household items with willow branches."

Gu Wenxuan's eyes widened, not trying to hide her surprise, "You really can do everything!"

Bai Jingzhou's eyebrows curved and he smiled even more happily, "Not really. Apart from these, I can only make paper, pens, simple bows and arrows, water wheels, lanterns, fans, kites... and do abacus and sing."

Gu Wenxuan:......

Damn!!! Why did she feel that this guy was showing off his versatility? And she had evidence.

If she had known this, she wouldn't have praised him!

Gu Wenxuan looked very cute with her puffy cheeks. Bai Jingzhou felt that she made him feel more comfortable like this than when she was in a low mood just now.

As he put the chicken and mushrooms into the pot to stew together, he discussed with Gu Wenxuan in a gentle voice, "During the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will send your family ten kilograms of pork fat, ten kilograms of pork belly, two river fish, a basket of eggs, a plate of tofu, and two boxes of mooncakes of different flavors as a festival gift. Do you think it's okay?"

Gu Wenxuan nodded, "That's great. If you say more, you will definitely be scolded again."

Ever since Bai Jingzhou got engaged to her, he never came to her house empty-handed. He either brought wild fruits picked from the mountains, wild vegetables dug up, and pheasant eggs found, or he brought candied haws, meat buns, sesame cakes, and various pastries bought from the town or county.

Thanks to him, Gu Wenxuan had eaten all kinds of snacks grown in the mountains and fields.

In spring, there are mountain puffs, blackberries, and small cherries; in summer and autumn, there are wild apricots, wild dates, jujubes, August fry, and black rice... There are even some small red, green, and purple wild fruits that she had never heard of before, and the locals didn't know what their names were.

In addition to bringing things, he is always very diligent in helping with the work.

Every time he went to Gu Wenxuan's house, he was never idle. He was either teaching Gu Wenxuan's younger brothers and sisters to read and do math, or helping Gu Wenxuan's family chop firewood, sweep the yard, grow vegetables, and feed cows.

If he happened to meet Gu Wenxuan's younger brothers going out to pick grass for pigs or dig wild vegetables, he would go out with them and teach them how to identify common medicinal herbs in between picking grass for pigs and digging wild vegetables.

As the saying goes, "There is no idle grass in the countryside, and everything you know is a treasure." Even if he didn't go into the mountains, Bai Jingzhou could teach them to identify common medicinal herbs such as dandelions, honeysuckle, plantain, thistle, mint, mugwort, nightshade, bitter herbs, amaranth, lantern grass, bidens pilosa, and horse dung bags in the fields.

Although these things are not as valuable as medicinal herbs such as ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, and Polygonum multiflorum, they are everywhere and are relatively easy to collect.

Thanks to him, the children have earned a lot of pocket money from the Bai family by digging herbs over the past six months.

Sweet-talker, hardworking, and willing to send gifts to his fiancée's home, isn't this the kind of son-in-law that all fathers-in-law like?

In a short period of time, Bai Jingzhou successfully gained the favor of all of Gu Wenxuan's family members and infiltrated Gu Wenxuan's family very smoothly.

Gu Wenxuan's grandparents, parents, uncles, aunts and younger brother not only all loved him very much, but also reciprocated their kindness by asking Bai Jingzhou to bring some things back home every time.

Bai Chong and Ning Cuizhi both liked the Gu family's courtesy and reciprocity. In addition, Bai Jingzhou was always "exploiting" Gu Wenxuan, so the couple couldn't help feeling guilty and short of breath when facing the Gu family. They were always extra polite, warm and friendly.

Both families were willing to live in harmony, and the more they visited each other, the closer their relationship became. The relationships between brothers from ordinary families were far less close than those between these two families.

It is difficult to keep secrets in the village, and Bai Jingzhou's various actions were soon spread by the gossip-loving men and women in the village, and he became a famous good son-in-law in the surrounding area.

Many families with daughters couldn't help but envy and be jealous of Gu Wenxuan's family, while those who had married or were about to marry couldn't help but complain that Bai Jingzhou and his parents were too eager.

The most interesting thing is that most families with both daughters and sons will apply double standards to their sons-in-law and sons.

Their son-in-law doesn't bring them honor, so they gossip about him openly or secretly. But when it's their son's turn to help with housework or deliver gifts to his family, they will selectively forget their strict requirements and high standards for their son-in-law.

If Gu Wenxuan knew it, how could Bai Jingzhou not know it?

But he didn't care what others said about him behind his back. He just wanted his marriage with Gu Wenxuan to be free of any obstacles.

As long as he can achieve this, he is willing to keep "catching up".

He smiled and replied to Gu Wenxuan, "Just curse. If they didn't curse in front of me, I would just assume they were cursing themselves. If they curse in front of me, I would just fight back."

Gu Wenxuan patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, they definitely won't dare to dance in front of you."

After all, when Bai Jingzhou's family dealt with those who spread gossip, they were ruthless. Not everyone is like Wang, who doesn't know how to learn a lesson.

After the two returned to the village, Bai Jingzhou did as he said and sent a very generous holiday gift to Gu Wenxuan's family.

In addition to the holiday gifts, he also gave Gu Wenxuan a set of thin "down" clothes filled with chicken, duck and goose down.

Gu Wenxuan was stunned. After a while, she touched the clothes with excitement and asked Bai Jingzhou, "Where did you get it?"

Bai Jingzhou smiled, "I asked Qi Rui to help collect it."

Every day, the restaurants and wealthy families in the county and town would clear out some chicken, duck and goose feathers from their kitchens.

It just so happened that Bai Jingzhou's second cousin Ning Qirui wanted to find a way to earn some pocket money for emergencies, so Bai Jingzhou hired him to help him collect chicken, duck and goose feathers.

The price given by Bai Jingzhou was two cents per pound for washed, dried hair with more fluff, one cent per pound for dirty or less fluffy dry hair, and one cent and three cents for wet hair that had just been permed.

As for Ning Qirui, for every pound of washed, dried feathers with the fluff removed, Bai Jingzhou would give him five cents as a reward.
