Chapter 328: Knowing Everything 1
Gu Jiandong made new clothes for himself and took a walk with Bai Luobo. His aesthetic sense was online and the clothes he made for himself were very nice. Whenever he went out for a walk, other comrades would ask where he bought the clothes.
"This dress is not available for purchase. My wife bought the fabric for me, but I made the dress myself."
He wanted to show off that his wife bought him some cloth. He didn't think it was anything special that a grown man like him could make clothes. In his opinion, a good man should be good at everything and should be able to provide a good life for his wife.
Everyone's focus was not on the fact that his wife bought him fabric, but on hearing that he made the clothes himself, everyone looked very surprised, as if they had heard something strange.
Most people think that men are the breadwinners and women are the homemakers, and these needlework are things that women should do, so no man would do them.
Just imagine the scene of Deputy Head Gu with a serious and handsome face, holding a tiny needle, and sewing clothes carefully stitch by stitch. It feels magical just by thinking about it.
Who would have thought that the hand that held a gun could also hold a needle and thread.
"Wow, Deputy Captain Gu is really versatile. He can also make clothes. His craftsmanship is really amazing."
Gu Jiandong: "I know a little bit about everything. My wife likes me like this."
"Deputy Commander Gu, your wife really loves you and even bought you cloth. But my wife is not like that. She is reluctant to give me a piece of cloth and makes me wear military uniform every day."
Gu Jiandong: "My wife really loves me. She buys everything for me. She saves money and doesn't even buy clothes for herself. She spends all her money on me."
Shen Shuyu: "…" How could I not know?
Amidst everyone's envious and jealous looks, Gu Jiandong took the white radish home. He made trouble for Shen Shuyu all night, and went to the training ground the next day with a beaming smile on his face.
The news that Gu Jiandong could make clothes spread throughout the family compound. She looked at Deputy Head Gu and then looked at her own man. It was really frustrating to compare herself with him.
There have been quite a few family conflicts in the family compound these days, and Wang Chunmiao, Shen Shuyu's neighbor's sister-in-law, has often quarreled with her husband.
Today, Captain Zhu came back and just sat down when she said, "Look at you, you just lie down like a big boss when you come back. There are a lot of chores to do at home, but you don't even help out.
What's the matter? Just because I'm a woman, I deserve to do these things, or do you think I'm too comfortable at home, doing nothing and enjoying life every day?"
Captain Zhu was so annoyed by his nagging, "How have I offended you? You keep nagging me. What else do you want me to do? Can't I do it?"
Before, when he came back, this woman would ask him if he was tired, and then quickly bring the dishes to him, asking him to eat quickly and take a good rest. But these past few days, she has been treating him with all her heart.
Their clothes were torn, but they didn't even sew them for him. Instead, they asked him, a grown man, to sew them himself. He's not Deputy Captain Gu, so how could he do needlework? Isn't that making things difficult for him?
Seeing him sweeping the floor with a broom, Wang Chunmiao was dissatisfied with his poor sweeping and snatched the broom from him, "That's enough, that's enough. You can't even do this little job. Just stay away."
Captain Zhu: "..."
After finishing her work, Wang's wife came to chat with Shen Shuyu, "My husband is really incompetent at everything. It's so tiring to expect him to do some work. Your deputy team leader Gu treats you well. He takes care of everything at home and outside."
Every couple has their own way of getting along. When Shen Shuyu heard her complaining about Captain Zhu, she just smiled and said, "Sister Wang, do you have any vegetable seeds? I want to exchange some with you."
Gu Jiandong has prepared the land in the yard and can plant seeds directly as long as they are available.
"Yes, I saved a lot of seeds. I asked my son to bring them over."
She shouted at the top of her voice, "Qiangguo, get the vegetable seeds from the drawer."
Zhu Qiangguo quickly brought the vegetable seeds when he heard his mother's order, "Mom, auntie, the vegetable seeds are here."
Shen Shuyu took two of the candies and gave them to Zhu Qiangguo. Zhu Qiangguo thanked her happily, "Thank you, auntie. You are so kind. From now on, you are my real auntie. Just let me know if you need anything."
Mrs. Wang laughed and scolded her son, "If your aunt invites you to eat at home, will you not even recognize your own mother?"
"Hehe, that's not possible." The main reason was that Uncle and Aunt Gu didn't want their adopted son.
Zhu Qiangguo likes white radishes. With candy in his mouth, he ran to the wall to pick the white radishes. The white radishes were well-fed and big, with shiny black and smooth hair.
Everyone who sees it likes to stroke its hair. It has a gentle personality and doesn't mind anyone petting it as long as it feels that others have no ill intentions.
Mrs. Wang opened the newspaper, which contained more than a dozen kinds of seeds. She said, "Sister Shuyu, what vegetables do you want to grow? Cabbage, leeks, peppers, tomatoes, eggplants, pumpkins, onions... everything."
The newspaper didn't say what the seeds were, but Mrs. Wang could tell what kind of seeds they were just by looking at them. However, Shen Shuyu couldn't recognize what kind of seeds they were. She felt that all the seeds looked the same.
Shen Shuyu asked for some seeds of each kind. She planned to plant a little of everything and eat a variety of vegetables in turn. Anyway, the yard was big and there was enough space for planting.
She can also plant some flowers by the wall. She hasn't bought the flowers yet, so she will have to go out some other day. It's convenient to have a bicycle anyway.
Shen Shuyu brought a lot of pickled vegetables, and she gave two to Mrs. Wang.
As soon as Wang's wife smelled the smell, she knew that the pickled cabbage was well cooked. "Guoqiang just wants to eat pickled cabbage stewed with vermicelli. With your pickled cabbage, I don't even have to go out to buy it."
"This pickled cabbage is made by my grandmother. I brought a lot of it here. If you want to eat it, come and have some."
"Then I won't be polite to you."
Shen Shuyu had nothing to do at home, so after getting the seeds, she took a hoe and started planting vegetables.
When Gu Jiandong came back, she had planted all the seeds and started fertilizing and watering.
Gu Jiandong rolled up his sleeves and took the water scoop from her hand. "You don't have to do these jobs. If there is any work, wait for me to come back and I will do it."
With him taking over, Shen Shuyu was happy to have some free time and looked at him with starry eyes.
"Shu Yu, don't look at me like that." Seeing his wife's look like that, he wanted to go back to his room and sleep.
Shen Shuyu not only looked at him with starry eyes, but also poked his muscles and moved her fingertips back and forth. Gu Jiandong's eyes became more and more deep, so he simply threw away the hoe and carried him into the house.
"Shu Yu, you invited me here."
Shen Shuyu didn't expect him to be so teasing, "Gu Jiandong, you haven't eaten yet."
Gu Jiandong buried his head in his work, "Then let's eat now."
Shen Shuyu: “…” She wasn’t talking about eating.
The two of them were always in good physical condition, working from six to nine. They were happy, but Bai Luobo was howling with hunger in the living room.
White Radish: Can you please take care of the dog before doing anything?
Gu Jiandong remembered to make dinner only after he had eaten and drunk his fill. He left the room only after he had coaxed Shen Shuyu. When he came out, he saw Bai Luobo lying weakly in the living room, looking at him with resentful eyes.
