It's just that her hands are too small. Gu Chen is a man after all, and his hands are much bigger than hers.
So it only covers half of it.
She should have said something. This ginseng and black chicken soup is really different. Her hands were really hot, like they were in a small stove, and her palms were still damp.
Especially since Ji Pianran had covered her hands tightly.
In a few minutes, Gu Chen's hands also started sweating.
I don't know if it's because of the heat, but Gu Chen's body feels like it's holding in a fire, inexplicably hot and dry.
Seeing the traffic lights up ahead, Gu Chen took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
He moved his fingers, intending to let go of Ji Pianran's hand.
Ji Pianran was so full of guilt that she didn't notice Gu Chen's movement at all.
Seeing that she didn't move, Gu Chen coughed lightly twice.
'That, daughter-in-law, can we pull over later?'
It wasn't that he wanted to let go, he had no choice. If he didn't let go, they would run a red light!
This damned car, it's a manual!
Now, it's time to shift gears!
Gu Chen gritted his teeth and vowed secretly that when he got rich, he would definitely get an automatic transmission!
It's okay to be poor as a young man, but not as a middle-aged man!!!
Poverty restricts the freedom of holding hands with his wife!
Ji Pianran's thoughts were brought back by Gu Chen's voice, and she subconsciously looked at her hand.
Instantly, her eyelids jumped.
!!!
She quickly let go of Gu Chen's hand.
She was actually holding Gu Chen's hand?
The worst part was that she had sweated so much!
This was so embarrassing!
Would Gu Chen dislike her? She had made his hand dirty!
As Ji Pianran thought about this, her heartbeat began to quicken uncontrollably, and her already red face became even more so.
It looked like a ripe apple.
'I-I didn't mean to,' she stammered, her face tense and blushing.
Gu Chen shifted gears and smoothly pulled the car over at the red light. A smile formed at the corner of his mouth, and the smile in his eyes was about to overflow.
'It's okay, I did it on purpose.'
His voice wasn't low, but it was very pleasant to hear.
Ji Pianran's heartbeat slowed by half a beat instantly.
!!!
What kind of words are these!
What do you mean he did it on purpose.
She clenched her hands, and her palms became increasingly wet.
Seeing that Ji Pianran was shy and nervous, Gu Chen felt that his daughter-in-law was really cute.
He reached out and grabbed Ji Pianran's hand again, 'Come on, relax.'
He had to get her into the habit of holding hands.
It's good to hold hands more often, it can promote feelings and keep you warm.
'By the way, daughter-in-law, this morning, I asked my fourth brother to notify everyone that anyone who rents land should come to dinner at our house today. After all, I've delayed everyone's time, and I feel bad about it,'
Gu Chen glanced at the rearview mirror and said casually:
Ji Pianran nodded.
'I support you. Let's be the first to break our promise. The most important thing in life is trust. With trust, we can talk about other things.'
Born into the Ji family, she doesn't know anything about doing business, but when it comes to trust, she has really been influenced by her surroundings.
Because Ji Guangsheng is a man who places great importance on trust.
But you can't cook for so many people on your own. Why don't we stop for a while and let me help you? I may not be very good at it, but I can help out.
Although she can't cook, she can wash and chop vegetables without any problem.
Gu Chen looked at Ji Pianran with relief.
'I've already spoken to your brother and aunt Zhang. They're both coming to help, and so is your sister-in-law Cui Lan. Don't worry, there'll be enough people.'
The support of his daughter-in-law was the greatest affirmation of himself. As for the rest, he didn't need anything else.
She had just been discharged from the hospital, and it would be fine to work again in a couple of days.
Ji Bianran licked her lips and hesitated, 'Isn't it a bit of a bother for them?'
She had always been independent, and she really didn't want to trouble others unless she had no choice.
'They would be happy for us to trouble them,' Gu Chen stroked Ji Bianran's hand and smiled to reassure her.
He knew better than anyone else that if you owe someone something, you have to repay it, whether it's a material object or a favour.
The Chinese value reciprocity.
When he went into the city tomorrow, he would buy them a present and the matter would be settled.
The car slowed down on the dirt road at the entrance to the village, but it still kicked up a cloud of dust.
After driving straight for a while, Gu Chen turned the steering wheel slightly and drove towards his home.
Thanks to Tian Laosi's announcement, many people had heard that Gu Chen was treating today.
At the moment, many people were standing outside the village's only auditorium, chatting. This was the only place in the village that was as spacious as Tian Ge, except for Tian Ge.
'Did you hear? Gu Chen is treating everyone who plans to rent him land to his house today.' The one speaking was Yang Yongxiang, who was also planning to rent land to Gu Chen.
'Yes, I'll be going with my son in a little while. Li You'e said that Gu Chen cooks really well, and it's a free meal. Signing the contract and getting the 300 yuan is a good deal.'
A woman in a coarse, thin coat replied.
'Yes, Aunt Li has praised Gu Chen to the skies. I'm going there this afternoon too.'
'Last month, Ji Pianran was borrowing money from everyone, but I never thought that in just one month, Gu Chen would have turned over a new leaf. It seems that he has made a lot of money and has become successful!'
'I'm envious. I want to make a lot of money too. I'll have to ask him properly when I go back.'
Everyone spoke one after the other, curious and praising, and their words all revealed how good Gu Chen was.
Leibo was not happy to hear this. 'There are so many people, I guess it's just a formality. What can be good? Shredded white radish salad or stir-fried cabbage? Look at you, you've never seen the world.'
After all, there are at least dozens of people renting land, which is not a small number.
It's not cheap to feed so many people well.
Gu Chen is at best a bit well-off, and he can't afford to feed so many people. He doesn't believe that the food will be good.
'I think you're just jealous. He can afford to rent 310 mu of land, which means he must have a lot of money. How much can a meal cost?' Next to him, Widow Wu said.
When he heard someone praising Gu Chen, Lei Bo couldn't help but get angry.
He threw the cigarette butt in his hand away and snorted through his nose.
'It's just as well that your husband died young, so you can go. Take the kids with you and go eat for free. Maybe Gu Chen will feel sorry for you orphans and widows and 'condole' with you every now and then. Anyway, he's rich, so if he doesn't host a banquet every time, it'll be enough for you and your daughter to eat for a month.'
Widow Wu was instantly so angry that her face turned pale.
'You ungrateful brat, do you even speak human language? I, Wu Cailing, am a righteous person who fears no criticism. If you let out any more nonsense, I'll ask your father, who is a cadre, how he managed to produce such a thing. Your own mother couldn't teach you properly, so let your stepmother teach you more.'
She was so angry that her voice rose several decibels, and everyone nearby could hear her clearly.
Some people even couldn't help laughing out loud.
