'I'll go boil some water to drink.'
Ji Pianran was afraid of being seen blushing.
After stammering out her words, she hurriedly stood up and walked out of the kitchen with her head bowed.
At this moment, Gu Chen had no idea what had happened and looked at Ji Pianran's back with an inexplicable expression on her face.
Don't apples quench thirst?
Why do I feel thirstier and thirstier the more I eat?
Li You'e and Aunt Zhang had been at Gu Chen's house for a little while.
After eating apples and sitting for ten minutes, they saw that it had completely darkened outside, so they went home happily.
Tang Tang was a little crazy, and when there were a lot of people in the house, she didn't sleep.
During the day, she didn't take a nap in order to play with the adults for a while longer.
Now that everyone had left, she yawned, her eyes growing heavy.
She walked listlessly over to Gu Chen, hugged his legs, and cooed like a baby.
'Daddy, Tantan is sleepy~'
Gu Chen looked at his little girl's soft and cute appearance, and without saying a word, he hugged his daughter and walked towards the house.
He was going to tell his daughter a story.
Early the next morning, Ji Pianran got up before dawn.
First, he glanced over at Gu Chen's room and saw that the light was still off, so he assumed that he hadn't yet woken up. He quickly washed up and then went into the kitchen.
He was going to prepare a simple breakfast.
If Gu Chen hadn't woken up when the breakfast was ready, he could just wake him up himself.
After all, there was an important matter today, and that was the meeting!
The village chief had notified everyone that there would be a meeting that morning.
Especially since it concerns her family, she would rather arrive early than late.
She needs to show her attitude first.
She just didn't expect that as soon as she entered the kitchen, the light in Gu Chen's room turned on.
These days, Gu Chen is used to waking up early, and he naturally wakes up at the right time.
He just sat up in bed and turned his head to see the light in the kitchen turn on.
Naturally, she knew that Ji Pianran was in there.
He quickly got dressed and put on his shoes, and without even washing his face, he headed towards the kitchen.
Don't ask, the answer is that he just couldn't bear the thought of his wife cooking breakfast!
This is love!
Ji Pianran had just beaten the eggs and was preparing to make egg custard when he saw Gu Chen come in.
He smiled tenderly at him, 'You're up?'
'If you don't get up soon, you'll have the meal ready.'
Gu Chen finished speaking and reached out to take the bowl from Ji Pianran's hands, preparing to do it himself.
Yesterday, Auntie Zhang had talked to her for a long time, and Ji Pianran had remembered one thing: to capture a man's heart, you have to capture his stomach.
Seeing that Gu Chen was going to get involved, Ji Pianran hurriedly refused, saying, 'No, I'll do it.'
She wanted to cook for Gu Chen.
She couldn't do anything else, but she had made steamed eggs for Sugar many times.
She was absolutely fine with it.
Gu Chen saw that she was so proactive and did not refuse again.
She just smiled, 'That's fine, then I'll make a pancake.'
After Gu Chen finished speaking, she grabbed a handful of flour from the flour bucket, then added some water and started to knead the dough.
Ji Bianran put the eggs in the pot, and when she looked back, Gu Chen's pancake was already rolled out and she was about to put it in the pot.
She went to the pickle jar again and took out some pickles, ready to eat them with the pancake.
It was spring, but no one had taken off their winter coats.
The water in the pickle jar was ice-cold, and Ji Pianran's hands trembled as she dipped them in.
She quickly grabbed a handful of pickles and put them in a bowl before going back inside.
She then placed the pickles on the chopping board, prepared to chop and wash them.
At this moment, Gu Chen had finished frying the first scallion pancake and was preparing to fry the second one.
She had just put the pancake in the pan when she heard Ji Bianran let out a cry of 'Ah'.
Judging by the sound, it sounded like she had cut her hand.
Gu Chen's heart skipped a beat and she immediately turned her head to look at Ji Bianran.
Sure enough, there was a cut on her right index finger from the knife.
Red blood was spilling out.
Ji Bianran had been cutting the pickled vegetables, which had been soaked in brine, and when she cut her hand, the brine on her hand immediately went into the meat.
Instantly, a fine layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.
Her beautiful eyebrows furrowed involuntarily, and the pain was piercing.
Gu Chen walked over in two steps, without thinking, grabbed Ji Pianran's hand and put it in her own mouth.
These days, everyone believes that saliva can disinfect and stop bleeding.
Even Gu Chen is the same.
Ji Pianran frowned in pain, but was so surprised by Gu Chen's sudden action that she couldn't say a word.
Her watery eyes suddenly widened, and she looked at Gu Chen in surprise and embarrassment.
She was so nervous that she couldn't feel the pain in her fingers at all.
She looked at Gu Chen in disbelief.
He was helping her stop the bleeding?
But she had just grabbed the pickled vegetables!
And there was a lot of blood on her hands.
It was mixed with the brine from the pickles. She was really embarrassed at the thought.
Her face involuntarily turned red.
After a while, she bit her teeth and whispered, 'It's dirty.'
Gu Chen seemed to have not heard, and he looked at Ji Bianran with a heartbroken expression.
But he didn't intend to let her go.
If she took it out, what if she still bled?
She didn't care, but he did!
It seems that in the future, Ji Pianran should not be allowed to enter the kitchen!
She should cook the rice herself!
That way, she won't get hurt again.
With a strange tingling sensation in her fingers,
Ji Pianran's breathing unconsciously slowed by half a beat. She felt as if all the blood in her body was about to freeze instantly.
Her heartbeat, however, became faster and faster, as if it wanted to break through her chest.
This feeling was too deadly.
She quickly pulled her hand back.
'Well, I'll go see if Tangtang has woken up.'
She said, and hurriedly walked into Gu Chen's room.
If she stayed any longer, she was afraid her face would turn red like a persimmon!
Gu Chen frowned as she watched Ji Pianran's flustered back.
It looked like she was blushing again.
Look at her running around like a deer. She's such a lovely daughter-in-law, I really don't know how much good I did in my past life to deserve her.
After breakfast, Ji Pianran took her daughter to wash up. After all, she was going to a meeting today, and she wanted to make sure that her daughter was clean and well-groomed.
After tidying up her daughter, it was almost eight o'clock.
Gu Chen held her daughter in her arms, while Ji Pianran stood next to them. The family of three then walked towards the village committee.
The village committee was in the middle of the village.
The government had given money to build a 300-square-metre courtyard there many years ago.
There are also a few rooms inside that serve as the village cadres' offices.
There is also an auditorium of more than 170 square metres, where the village usually holds meetings, or when any of the city's singing and dancing troupes come to perform in the countryside.
It is quite useful.
Because it is so close, it didn't take them long to get to the village committee.
They had thought they had arrived early enough, but they had not realised that everyone else had also arrived early.
At this time, they were all gathering in small groups to discuss the meeting that day.
