Passerby's Guide to Eating Watermelons

Chapter 299 Even More Uncomfortable

I just didn't expect that because Zuo Zhizhi was not feeling well today, she handed all the housework to Gu Jiqing early.

When Luo Qiuxin arrived, it was a little late. He had already swept the floor and even started cooking.

Luo Qiuxin saw Zuo Zhizhi lying on the bed, and then looked at Gu Jiqing who was busy in the kitchen. She couldn't hide the envy on her face and the jealousy in her eyes.

Zuo Zhizhi felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach, but when she saw Luo Qiuxin coming, she forced herself to entertain her.

Seeing Gu Jiqing working skillfully in the kitchen and keeping the house in order, Luo Qiu said without thinking, "Sister-in-law, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but how can you not do any work at home? How can you push all the housework onto your man?"

Zuo Zhizhi knew what the other person was thinking, but she didn't want to let her smear her, so she just said casually: "Isn't it that these two couples live together? If they fight, it's not a fight. I'm not feeling well today, so why not take a break?"

"Besides, the country has been liberated. We are married as husband and wife. I am not a farmhand for their family. Why should I be the only one to do the housework?"

Luo Qiuxin wanted to nod in approval, but it was impossible for him to do so, so he could only accept the idea.

She couldn't sit here any longer, so she just said a few words and chose to leave.

Zuo Zhizhi did not stop him and let him leave.

Instead, Gu Jiqing was a little curious: "Why did sister-in-law go back so soon? I thought she came here specifically for something!"

"What could it be?" Zuo Zhizhi chuckled, then told Wang Lijuan what she had inferred, "So she's been busy at home, so she wants to come out and make herself felt!"

Gu Jiqing suddenly realized, then lay down on the rocking chair beside him without any concern, rocking his body leisurely, and said slowly: "Then let her envy!"

"Aren't you afraid that others will say you're henpecked?" Zuo Zhizhi was a little curious and wanted to know his true thoughts.

"Then let them talk. Anyway, living together is our business and has nothing to do with them!"

Zuo Zhizhi chuckled: "Okay, then hurry up and get ready!"

Gu Jiqing seemed to have received an order. He quickly found the wood and saw he had brought back and began to process it bit by bit.

Although the house is not small, the room was preliminarily arranged before the wedding.

There are just some minor issues besides that, like there aren't too many pieces of furniture in the house.

Everything is normal now, so there is no problem in life, but since two people are together, they have to consider the future.

The two of them don't have many tables now, only one for dining, and a few cabinets for storing things.

Zuo Zhizhi also wanted a desk and a cabinet to store various ornaments. If they were too obvious, it might be dangerous, but it would be fine if they were used to store some interesting little toys.

After all, when living together as a couple, you have to prepare for having children in the future.

Unlike in ancient times, there is no one to help take care of the children. Here, all the responsibilities fall on the two of them. Even if they can ask relatives for help, that is limited.

Before this, you must make adequate preparations.

For example, various beds, bowls, chopsticks, toys, etc. used by children can be prepared slowly at this time.

Besides, I have been living in this house for almost a year, so it is naturally impossible to have nothing like at the beginning. I have gradually added so many things, so there must be a place to store them.

At this stage, it’s okay to go to thrift stores to buy furniture, but for some simple things, it’s more fun to do it yourself.

Zuo Zhizhi bought some furniture from a thrift store and rearranged several rooms. Although it doesn't seem to have any practical use at the moment, it is quite interesting.

Even Gu Jiqing now has a new hobby, which is carpentry.

Although the finished products were a bit rough, he was already a bit addicted, so although they were just small things, he made them one after another.

Zuo Zhizhi didn't bother him. After all, it was not a bad thing for him to have some hobbies in his spare time.

Zuo Zhizhi felt relaxed and comfortable, but Luo Qiuxin became angrier and angrier the more she thought about it.

After tossing and turning in bed late at night, unable to sleep, she couldn't help but wake up Gu Jilin: "I went to your brother's house today. When the two of them were at home, guess what I saw?"

Gu Jilin had been busy at work all day and was in no mood to talk. He could only mumble, "What's the matter? Talk to me tomorrow."

Luo Qiuxin shook him awake regardless: "When the two of them were at home, Zuo Zhizhi was lying on the bed resting, and only got up when she saw me coming."

"And your brother was busy inside and outside, cooking for two people and even putting away everything."

"Oh, isn't that good?"

Luo Qiuxin was speechless when she heard this. Although this behavior was quite good, she could only watch but not enjoy it. Wouldn't that make her feel sulky for no reason?

"What about you? Look, we've been married for so long, and I'm the one doing everything in the house. Haven't you ever thought of helping me?"

Gu Jilin really never thought that although he liked Luo Qiuxin and was willing to follow her to the northwest, he himself was a male chauvinist.

If someone tells him to do something, he will still reluctantly do it, but if no one tells him to do it, in his eyes, it is the same as if he doesn't see the work!

Gu Jilin can create romance for others, but he will never do housework by himself.

Luo Qiuxin looked at Gu Jilin who had turned over and fallen asleep again, and couldn't help but curse in her heart: "They are obviously two brothers from the same family, how can there be such a big difference!"

The next morning, since he had nothing to do, Gu Jilin took Luo Qiuxin out for a walk.

Although he fell asleep in a daze yesterday, he still remembered that Luo Qiuxin was very unhappy, so he naturally came out to coax her.

Luo Qiuxin was also happy to have some free time. Even if it was only for one day, she didn't want to work at home. Naturally, she wanted to go out and have a look on her hard-earned day off.

Unexpectedly, I ran into Zuo Zhizhi and Gu Jiqing outside. Although it was a coincidence that the four of us met, it was impossible for us to just leave like that.

After a brief chat, I found that everyone was taking advantage of the day off to go out for a walk and take a break.

Luo Qiuxin even asked, "Do you often go out on your days off?"

Gu Jiqing nodded: "There is always time to rest when working every day. Except when I go back to visit my parents or have extra work, I usually go out for a walk."

Luo Qiuxin saw that he said it lightly, and it was obviously the fact, but the imbalance in her heart increased.
