He always thought his wife had good skin, but he never expected it to feel so good.
Gu Chen couldn't help it, and took the opportunity to wipe his face to touch her a little more.
The feeling of her skin was amazing.
Gu Chen's movements were careful, and the tenderness in his eyes seemed to overflow.
Ji Pianran just looked at him in a daze.
When his warm, dry palm touched her face for a moment,
Ji Pianran felt like her face was on fire.
Her heartbeat even stopped uncontrollably for a moment.
The throbbing sensation of the blood rushing through her veins
made her hand tremble unconsciously.
She lowered her head and lightly pursed her rosy lips.
Her long eyelashes trembled.
She looked like a young deer.
She was at a loss for what to do, and a little confused, which made her both pitiful and adorable.
Did he just wipe her face for her?
And with such an intimate action, this should be a sign of his affection for her, right?
If she remembered correctly, this was the first time Gu Chen had touched her face.
But how could she do that in front of other people?
In the words of the villagers, this was shameless.
What if everyone laughs?
She swallowed nervously.
Trying to keep her voice steady, she concealed the fluttering in her heart.
'Well, everyone has eaten enough, I'll collect the bowls and bring you fruit.'
After saying this, Ji Pianran stood up and hurriedly went to collect the bowls and chopsticks on the table.
Seeing that Ji Pianran was going to collect the bowls and chopsticks, Auntie Zhang hurriedly stood up.
She said enthusiastically, 'Auntie, I'll help you.'
After saying this, she didn't wait for a response from Ji Pianran, and she rolled up her sleeves and started helping out as well.
It's fine to come to someone's house and eat for free, but there's no reason to just watch the host busy themselves.
She couldn't do it anyway.
Ji Pianran was also used to Zhang Sheng'er's enthusiasm.
Plus, at the moment, her heart felt like it had been scratched by a kitten's claws, and she was all over the place, so she didn't really have the heart to talk.
She forced a smile and expressed her gratitude.
The two of them quickly finished collecting the dishes and went towards the kitchen.
With Ji Pianran and Aunt Zhang gone, the house was left with just three adults: Gu Chen, Li You'e, and Tian Laosi.
In 2000, people's thinking was still relatively conservative compared to later generations.
This was especially true in the countryside, where the more backward the place, the more feudal it was.
Tian Laosi was blushing as he watched the scene just now.
How could this kid touch Ji Pianran's face in front of so many people?
But he also inexplicably envied the couple's intimate relationship.
This is how a couple should be.
Seeing Ji Pianran blush, he was completely in love like a young girl, not like a mother of a two-year-old.
That shyness really makes people's hearts flutter just by watching.
It's not like the tigress in your own family, who shouts all day long.
And every now and then she kicks you.
Thinking about her face, Tian Laosi couldn't help but shake his head.
They're all women, but why is there such a big difference?
At this moment, seeing that Auntie Zhang and Ji Pianran had been walking for a while, Li You'e spoke up.
'Oh, seeing you two so happy, I can't help but think of when I was young.'
'Let me tell you, women are made of water, they need to be pampered. The more you treat her well, the more gentle she will be, and if you treat her coldly, she'll be like ice immediately!'
Li You'e's rambling was endless.
Just from the way he pampered Ji Pianran, I envy him!
After all, who doesn't want their husband to be nice to them?
Tian Laosi took his son in his arms.
While helping him remove the rice grains on his clothes.
He secretly complained, 'Some women are made of water, and some women are made of cement, just like my own Shen Cuilan.
If you treat her coldly, she'll become ice. That's hail, an ice pick that can kill someone!
'Auntie Li, you're right,' Gu Chen said casually.
Having received Gu Chen's approval, Li You'e became even more enthusiastic.
She leaned over and moved closer to Gu Chen.
'Let me tell you, your uncle used to stroke my face, hug me, kiss me, and always save the best food for me when he was feeling fine. So even though we were poor back then, we were so happy!'
'This woman, if you let her feel that you love her from the bottom of your heart, she will feel secure. And when she feels secure, she will feel that everything she has given is worthwhile. When a person's heart is content, naturally their life will be smooth.'
Li You'e seemed to be talking about her own love experience, as if she was complaining that her man didn't love her as much as he used to.
There was a sense of loss in her expression.
Gu Chen understood all of this.
In his previous life, after Ji Pianran had left, he had slowly come to understand.
If he had shown a little affection in his previous life, Ji Pianran would not have been so cold-hearted.
So, after being reborn, he had been quietly treating her well.
He hoped that by using his true heart to impress her, he could once again win her heart.
Gu Chen nodded in agreement, 'Aunt Li is right.'
Even though Tian Laosi kept his head down and didn't say a word, and even though he was constantly thinking negative thoughts, he was actually listening very carefully.
After all, who wouldn't want to live a good life with their daughter-in-law?
He silently took Li You'e's words to heart, that he should kiss and hug his daughter-in-law whenever he could, and be as gentle as possible.
He really wanted Shen Cuilan to be a little gentler!
It seems that even if he is fine, he still needs to go back and touch his daughter-in-law's face to see if she will become like Ji Pianran, speak and act more gently, and take the initiative in doing things!
Having made up his mind, Tian Laosi casually made up an excuse and took his son home.
He couldn't wait to try out what he had learned today!
In the kitchen, as soon as Auntie Zhang put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands, she grabbed Ji Pianran's hand.
Ji Bianran was startled and turned her head to Auntie Zhang in surprise, 'Auntie, what's wrong?'
Auntie Zhang glanced outside and saw that there was no one in the courtyard, so she gave Ji Bianran a mysterious smile.
'It seems that Chen Zi has really reformed now.'
Looking at the determined expression on Auntie Zhang's face,
Ji Bianran instantly understood that it must be because Gu Chen had just helped her wipe her face that Auntie Zhang said that!
'Auntie, please don't laugh at me,' she said, lowering her head and blushing.
After that, she turned her head and put the bowls and chopsticks in the pot, then scooped up two ladles of cold water from the water tank.
She wanted to avoid this embarrassing topic.
To be honest, she knew just now that such intimate actions would definitely be laughed at.
She just didn't expect even Auntie Zhang to laugh at it.
Auntie Zhang is the person who is closest to her in the village, apart from Gu Chen.
Seeing Ji Pianran's unnatural appearance, Auntie Zhang couldn't help but laugh.
'Look at you, you've got a child and you're still blushing!'
After saying that, she followed suit and added some detergent to the pot.
'I can see that Chen is really good to you now, and as your aunt, I'm happy for you! Chen can now earn money, take care of the family, and cook well, so he is destined to have a bright future!'
Ji Pianran didn't say anything, and put the rag she was holding into the pot.
Auntie Zhang continued, 'Auntie Zhang wants to ask you, have you and Chen Zi not had sex for a long time?'
Ji Pianran never expected Auntie Zhang to ask her such a question.
She was so shocked that the bowl she was holding almost fell to the ground.
Her face was even more red than usual.
