Professor Gu's daily life in the countryside after his rebirth

Chapter 203 Moving In

The next morning, Gu Zhan went to a nearby store to buy some cleaning supplies, then borrowed some tools from Liu Xuehua's house, and then went to clean the yard first.

Liu Xiaoxi also wanted to go, but she was really busy, so she didn't ask to go.

As soon as Gu Zhan entered the yard, he opened all the doors of the house to ventilate it, and then went to clean up the weeds in the yard. When Li Kaiyue came over in the afternoon, only the inside of the house was left uncleaned.

Because the house had not been occupied for some time, Li Kaiyue suggested that all the furniture be moved away and cleaned first to prevent animals such as rats from hiding inside.

"Thank you for reminding me, I did overlook this."

Li Kaiyue said as he moved the table, "I didn't really understand it before. But as you know, my parents were sent down to the countryside these past few years, and my wife... Over time, I've naturally accumulated a lot of life experience."

"Well, this can be considered a gain." Gu Zhan said with a smile.

"You're right, a blessing in disguise. By the way, my mother refused to go to the hospital yesterday, but this morning I asked her to go to another hospital, and she agreed. So, is my father's case related to some people in the hospital?"

To be honest, Gu Zhan was not actually very clear about the specific cause of this incident. All he could guess was what he had heard from Li Chuanzhong's fragmentary description of the hospital in Shanghe Village. Li Chuanzhong, the person involved, should be more clear about the specific matter.

"I'm not very clear about the specific situation."

Li Kaiyue nodded. His father was not a talkative person. Moreover, he became very cautious after being demoted, fearing that he would be implicated. He had hardly exchanged letters with him over the years.

The only two letters he received were the one reporting his safety when he left and the letter before his mother returned. He knew nothing about the rest.

"Anyway, thank you for the reminder."

Li Kaiyue inherited his father's legacy and is now also a doctor. However, due to his parents' affairs, he has not had an easy time in the hospital in recent years. Others try to stay as far away from him as possible. Over the years, his social circle has become much cleaner.

"You're welcome."

"My dad should be back soon, right? I heard that many of his colleagues in the hospital have already returned to work."

After these words were spoken, Gu Zhan fell silent. He really didn't know whether he would return to his job. After all, in his previous life, Li Chuanzhong never walked out of Shanghe Village alive.

But he knew that according to the current development trend, if Li Chuanzhong wanted to break the deadlock, it would be best to wait until the embryo splitting technology was released to the public.

By then, he will be the actual operator of embryo splitting technology. Even if someone wants to suppress it, they will probably have to think twice.

"I think there's no rush for this matter right now. If we wait a little longer, there might be a turning point."

Embryo splitting has not been announced to the public yet, so it is not appropriate to publicize it yet. He could only tell Li Kaiyue about it in a tactful way.

Li Kaiyue naturally understood what Gu Zhan said, and he did not continue to worry about his father's affairs. After all, his father was living well in Shanghe Village, so there was no need to worry too much.

At the end of the day, when it was getting dark, the house had been thoroughly cleaned, and now it was just a matter of buying some daily necessities.

These things were in small pieces, and Gu Zhan didn't have enough receipts at the moment, so it would be difficult for him to buy them.

But in the end, with the help of Li Kaiyue, the problem was solved quickly.

The reason was that Li Kaiyue knew a person who resold goods privately. Nowadays, the supervision in Beijing was not so strict. With Li Kaiyue's help, Gu Zhan bought all of them at once under the cover of night.

Looking at the house that was gradually becoming presentable, Gu Zhan breathed a sigh of relief.

We can move in tomorrow after the house is heated up.

When Gu Zhan returned to the guesthouse, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

Liu Xiaoxi had dinner at the guesthouse and brought some for Gu Zhan, putting it in a lunch box she brought from home so that Gu Zhan could eat it as soon as he entered the door.

After two days of rest, Liu Xiaoxi and Gu Xinxin have recovered their energy. When they saw their father eating, Gu Xinxin became anxious and hurriedly pulled Gu Zhan's trouser legs, opening her mouth and asking for food.

Gu Zhan's heart softened when he saw this. Just when he was about to pick up his daughter and feed her a bite of food, Liu Xiaoxi came over, picked up the little girl and held her in her arms.

As the delicious food was getting further and further away, little Gu Xinxin struggled to get out of her mother's arms.

"It's okay, I'll feed her less."

Liu Xiaoxi hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's wait a few days. This period of time has already changed the climate and environment. Let her adapt first, then gradually start feeding her."

Gu Zhan thought it made sense, so he stopped talking and could only watch his daughter drooling in his wife's arms.

Early the next morning, Gu Zhan went to buy ready-made honeycomb coal and lit a fire in the stove in the house. By the afternoon, the house was already warm.

On the third day, the whole family moved in all at once, carrying the large and small bags they brought from Shanghe Village.

In fact, Liu Xiaoxi had planned to move in the afternoon of the previous day. After all, staying in a guesthouse in Beijing for one night was not cheap. However, Gu Zhan took into consideration that they had children and it was not convenient to move in the afternoon, so they moved the plan to the next day.

The environment has been changing constantly during this period, and little Gu Xinxin has become accustomed to it. After getting familiar with the yard, she began to stroll around the yard with her chubby little legs.

Liu Xiaoxi hadn't paid attention to the furniture at home, but when Gu Zhan took out the pots and pans to cook, she opened her mouth in surprise: "When did you buy these?"

"I bought it last night." Gu Zhan smiled mysteriously.

Liu Xiaoxi was dumbfounded. Did he do so many things just the day before yesterday?

After cleaning the entire yard and going out to buy some things, Liu Xiaoxi didn't care about the money spent on the shopping. She grabbed Gu Zhan's hand and looked at it first.

Seeing that the originally fair and delicate hands now had several wind cracks on them, Liu Xiaoxi felt very sad.

"You hold the baby and I'll cook."

"Well, okay."

Liu Xiaoxi was cutting vegetables when Liu Xuehua knocked on the door and came in, holding a bag of vegetables and a small piece of meat.

"Aunt Liu, you're here?" Liu Xiaoxi put down the kitchen knife in her hand and came over to welcome the person in.

"I heard from Kaiyue that you were moving today, so I came over to see if I can help you."

"Thank you for the trip! Thanks to Brother Kaiyue, we were able to move in so quickly. Come on, what else do you want to bring?"

Liu Xiaoxi was sweet-spoken and made Liu Xuehua very happy with just a few words.

"Since you guys don't have time to buy any food right now, I brought some here."

"That's too much money. How about you and Brother Kaiyue have lunch at my house?"

Liu Xiaoxi's personality has become much more cheerful now, and she is now entertaining Liu Xuehua like a hostess.

Seeing Liu Xiaoxi's sincere invitation, Liu Xuehua agreed.
