Reborn as a widow in the 70s

"Brother Da Zhuang, please take a seat!"

"My Lao Lu told me that you were coming two days ago, but I didn't expect you to come so soon!"

"You must have been waiting at the door for a long time. I'm really sorry. I had something to do today and I went out. I'm usually at home!"

Song Xiuxiu greeted him into the room and sat down, while getting melon seeds for snacks.

"Sister-in-law, please stop being busy, the boss and I are like brothers, we are not outsiders!"

Song Xiuxiu poured a cup of hot tea and put it on the table in front of him, then said with a smile: "It is because of your good relationship that I have to entertain you well. Otherwise, when my old Lu comes back, he will blame me for treating his brother so slowly!"

Hearing her say this, Ge Dazhuang smiled shyly.

"You must have had a hard time on your journey. I'll clean up the west wing, and you can rest first. It will take more than three hours for Lao Lu and the others to get off work!"

"Sister-in-law, I'm really troubling you!"

This journey was indeed very hard for Ge Dazhuang.

Because there were so many people, the travel expenses Lu Aiguo gave him were only enough to sit on a hard seat.

But even so, Ge Dazhuang still stood all day and night, mainly because there were too many people in the carriage.

After getting off the train, Ge Dazhuang arranged for more than a dozen fellow villagers to stay in the guest house, and then rushed here again without stopping.

Not to mention resting along the way, I didn’t even eat much!

Song Xiuxiu took him to the west wing.

There were two double beds side by side in the room, and there was a wardrobe against the wall. The sheets and bedding looked new, which made Ge Dazhuang afraid to lie down on them.

I was afraid of getting this brand new bedding dirty.

Song Xiuxiu saw what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "You can sleep peacefully, this room is just for you."

"Usually Xiaoma Datou and the others stay here occasionally."

After hearing what she said, Ge Dazhuang felt relieved.

After Song Xiuxiu settled him down, she walked out of the room.

It seemed that Ge Dazhuang hadn't eaten yet. There were still several hours before dinner, so Song Xiuxiu wanted to go to the kitchen and make him a bowl of noodles first.

As soon as she walked into the front yard, she saw Qiu Fengxia walking towards her, holding two packages of peach cakes she just bought this morning.

"What's up!"

"I am busy!"

Then Qiu Fengxia told the story about how Zhao Tianbao came to her today and later intended to be rude, but was rescued by Ge Dazhuang.

"You feel you owe him a favor, so you want to give him two packets of peach cakes!"

Qiu Fengxia nodded: "I don't know how to thank him, so I just wanted to give him these two bags of peach cakes."

Qiu Fengxia is not willing to owe others, whether it is money or favors.

Song Xiuxiu originally wanted to deduct ten yuan a month from the 100 yuan she had previously advanced from here, but Qiu Fengxia disagreed.

It took her two months to deduct all the 100 yuan.

Now she designs and makes clothes and earns around [-] a month, so she has hope for the future.

I have some money on hand, so I dare to buy some snacks for the children. Today, these two packs of peach cakes are intended for the two children to eat in the evening.

Song Xiuxiu thought for a while and said: "He is a grown man and may not like to eat such sweets. It would be a waste to give it to him. Why don't you help him make a bowl of noodles."

"I see he hasn't eaten yet, so you can repay him by making him a bowl!"

Qiu Fengxia thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

Qiu Fengxia's hands and feet are very quick. In less than half an hour, a large bowl of hot noodles is ready, with two poached eggs on top!

She originally wanted Song Xiuxiu to carry it over, but now there are guests coming to order clothes, and she can't leave while she is receiving the guests.

Aunt Liu went out to buy groceries again.

Although Qiu Fengxia was afraid that a lonely man and a widower would attract people to gossip, but when she thought that he was her benefactor, it was reasonable to send him a bowl of noodles.

Thinking of this, Qiu Fengxia felt much calmer!

When she knocked on the door of the west wing with a noodle bowl, a deep and hoarse voice immediately came from inside.

"Please come in!"

"Brother Ge, Sister Xiuxiu was afraid that you would not have time to eat in a hurry, so she asked me to make a bowl of noodles and send it over!"

Ge Dazhuang rubbed his big hands on his clothes before taking the bowl of noodles in her hand.

"Thank you!" Ge Dazhuang whispered.

"Brother Ge, it's me who should say thank you. Thank you for your help today!" Qiu Fengxia said with a smile.

Ge Dazhuang kept his head down and did not dare to look up at her. What he has been most afraid of since he was a child is talking to women. He gets nervous whenever he talks to women.

"You're welcome, it's just a little effort!"

After finishing speaking, Ge Dazhuang followed closely.

"Then...is that man your husband?"

Qiu Fengxia: "It's my ex-husband. I have divorced him. He came here to pester me today!"

"Oh! Then if he dares to come again, tell me and I will help you drive him away!"

Ge Dazhuang's voice was very soft, and his shy expression was like that of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, which was very different from his tall and thick image.

Qiu Fengxia suddenly felt that this ferocious-looking man was actually quite cute.

"Then I want to thank Brother Ge even more!"

Then the two chatted for a few more words before Qiu Fengxia left the room.

Ge Dazhuang ate up the large bowl of noodles and drank a large glass of warm water.

When there is food in the stomach, people start to feel sleepy.

I wanted to take a nap for a while, after all, it's not good to lie down and sleep in someone else's house.

Unexpectedly, as soon as his head hit the pillow, his whole body relaxed instantly, and he soon heard a slight snore!

When he opened his eyes again, it was already dark outside.

The room was illuminated warmly and softly by orange lights.

Looking sideways to see He Datou sitting on the bedside looking straight at him, Ge Dazhuang suddenly felt that it was such a terrible sight!

"Hey, Da Zhuang, you're awake!"

"What time is it? How long have I been asleep?"

Ge Dazhuang's mind was not completely clear yet and he was in a daze.

"It's almost seven o'clock. The boss asked you to sleep a little longer, but I didn't dare to call you!"

"It's so late!"

With that said, Ge Dazhuang quickly got up and got out of bed.

He Datou looked at his anxious look and asked puzzledly: "Why are you so anxious?"

Ge Dazhuang said embarrassedly: "I slept for so long, how rude!"

It's not that he was being polite to Lu Aiguo, but with Song Xiuxiu here, he should be disgusted by sleeping like this!

He was just about to go out and explain, but He Datou grabbed his arm.

"It's nothing rude. My sister-in-law is such a nice person. She really treats our brothers as her own. She's not being polite."

"If you were polite to her, she wouldn't be happy!"

Hearing what he said, Ge Dazhuang felt relieved a little.

"Are you hungry? The whole family is waiting for you to eat!" He Datou said, patting him on the shoulder.

"What are you waiting for me to eat?" Ge Dazhuang asked in shock.
