673. Chapter 673 One Kind of Love, Two Places of Sorrow 6
Shengshi still stood there with an indifferent attitude, staring closely at Gu Lanshan. She sat on a small bench with a large basin in front of her, and her hands were red from the cold.
Gu Lanshan looked slightly embarrassed and then lowered her head.
Shengshi stared at Gu Lanshan's red hands for a long time, then silently nodded and walked into the house.
It wasn't until Shengshi entered the house that Gu Lanshan breathed a sigh of relief. However, her mood, which she had finally stabilized, became depressed again. She lowered her head. Although she was washing clothes, her consciousness was...
Floating.
Mrs. Han walked out not long after entering the room.
Mrs. Han didn't divorce Gu Lanshan until she was in Shengshi. She looked at Gu Lanshan quietly, but still didn't expose the bad things. She just finished washing the clothes quickly and drying them with Gu Lanshan silently.
In the courtyard, the houses were all occupied, so the cooking places were all located under the eaves of the house. Mrs. Han called Gu Lanshan to come in. Gu Lanshan said that her hands were cold, so she went to the coal stove and stretched out her hand.
He leaned against the stove and warmed his hands.
Mrs. Han entered the house. Although Gu Lanshan was squatting outside the door, she still heard the conversation inside.
Mrs. Han very kindly invited everyone to stay for dinner. Perhaps it was hard to refuse the kindness, but those people all agreed. After that, several men began to talk about some work topics. Mrs. Han poured water for several people and said
: "You guys can talk here slowly while Lanshan and I go out to buy some groceries."
Han Chengchi and Ji Liunian and Xia Fuhua's attention were all focused on the plan he made. Only Shengshi sat aside absentmindedly. When he heard Mrs. Han's words, he raised his head and glanced at Mrs. Han.
After Mrs. Han finished speaking, she took her wallet and walked out.
Shengshi looked around the room and found that it was very shabby, especially now that there were four grown men here, so it seemed even more crowded.
He looked through the window and saw Gu Lanshan standing up, turning her back to him and saying something to Mrs. Han. Mrs. Han took her arm and walked out of the door.
Gu Lanshan's figure disappeared in the yard, but his gaze was still fixed.
"Twenty, what do you think of this idea?"
Ji Liunian raised his head and called out to Shengshi. Shengshi came back to his senses and turned his head. He seemed to be staring at the plan and listening carefully to what Han Chengchi said, but his mind wandered to the scene he had just seen.
Gu Lanshan squatted next to the well water and washed clothes in the severe cold winter.
...
...
When Gu Lanshan and Mrs. Han came back carrying a lot of things, several people in the room were still chatting. As soon as Mrs. Han opened the door, Han Chengchi turned around and said: "Mom,
There’s no water, please make some boiling water.”
Mrs. Han responded, and just as she was about to turn around and go out, Gu Lanshan, who was following her, said, "Aunt Han, let me make some boiling water."
Gu Lanshan quickly put down the large and small bags in her hand, took the hot water bottle, and disappeared from Shengshi's sight as if she was running away.
When Gu Lanshan received the water, she thought she would take the bag later, say goodbye to them and leave.
She made the water and brought it in. Mrs. Han was cutting the watermelon. Gu Lanshan saw that the people were busy with their own things. The water in the teacup was empty.
