1960s: The crazy life after the alchemy furnace became a spirit

Chapter 23 Frank confession
"Okay, I just arrived and I'm not very familiar with this place. Sister-in-law, please take care of me more in the future."

Gu Qingwu agreed readily. She had just arrived and was not very familiar with the place. Although she could figure it out by herself, it was always better to have someone familiar guide her than to figure it out on her own, wasn't it?

Besides, the person in front of him is the wife of Qin Haonan’s direct leader. If they have a good relationship, it will be of some benefit to Qin Haonan, right?
"no problem."

Chen Hongxia looked at Gu Qingwu and said with a smile that this girl was not bad. Her temperament and other aspects were quite similar to hers. She didn't like those women who were idle all day and looking for trouble. Some of them were the worst. They only knew how to beat and scold the girls in their family all day long, saying that they were money-losing goods or something like that. They didn't even think about the fact that if they scolded their daughters like that, were they not women anymore? Wouldn't they be money-losing goods after they got married?

This is the kind of woman she dislikes the most.

Therefore, there are really not many people who have a good relationship with her.

Because of her status, everyone has been trying to please her. In fact, she knows all about it. She won't say much about it. If she says too much, it will seem like she is taking advantage of others. It is better for her to say nothing.

"You just arrived. Some people in the family compound have bad tempers. Military wives from the countryside and those from the city don't get along. You just need to be aware of this. If you have someone you are close to, you don't have to worry so much."

Chen Hongxia felt a headache whenever she thought of those military wives. Sometimes, she even had to judge cases for them. This kind of scene made her very disgusted. They were all military wives. There was no need to have conflicts, right?
If you don’t get along, then don’t play together. You’re so old now, don’t you know this?
If they don't play together and don't say bad things about each other, wouldn't the relationship be better? Unfortunately, no one can understand her feelings and thoughts. No one knows them. It is obvious that they look down on each other, but they like to get together whenever there is nothing to do.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I'm an introvert and don't like to interact with too many people."

Gu Qingwu said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Well, maybe some people would say that I'm not sociable or aloof, but I really don't mean that."

Gu Qingwu decided to give Chen Hongxia a heads-up in advance. She had lived for so many years, and she really had no interest in chatting about trivial matters with some military wives. Her biggest hobbies were growing Chinese herbs and refining medicine. As for other things, it was probably only food.

When she was in the world of cultivation, she hadn't been able to eat any delicious food for so many years. Now that she can finally taste it, she will probably make some delicious food for herself often in the future.

"If you don't like it, don't do it. There's no need to put yourself in a difficult position."

Chen Hongxia felt that Gu Qingwu had a good personality and didn't like to interact with too many people, so she didn't have to go. The interactions between women wouldn't affect the relationships between men. She gradually discovered this later.

"Friendship between men is not something we women can understand. We just need to live our own lives and let the men have no worries. Don't worry about the rest."

Chen Hongxia reminded Gu Qingwu, and Gu Qingwu nodded, indicating that she understood. Anyway, she had no intention of putting herself in a difficult position.

This time when Qin Haonan went to participate in the mission, she did not bring him the hemostatic medicine. It was not that she did not want to, but she had no excuse and no time. It was just right that while Qin Haonan was not at home, she would make more medicine. Next time when Qin Haonan went on a mission, she could bring him the medicine she prepared.

"Sister-in-law, it's getting late. I have to go home and clean up the house. I just arrived and many things at home are not ready. I have to clean up as soon as possible and have time to chat with you later."

Gu Qingwu glanced at the time and found that it was getting late. She really wanted to go back and clean up the house. She wanted to eat fresh vegetables in winter, but she couldn't just rely on space. There was no excuse. In this era, there were no greenhouses, so she could only find a way on her own.

She planned to take some time to see if there was any plastic sheeting in the county. If not, she would have to think of other ways.

Glass can actually be used, but it’s not easy to handle glass at this time.

She saw if she could think of another solution.

"You should go back. It's getting late. If you need anything and don't have it at home, come and find your sister-in-law if you need it temporarily."

Chen Hongxia said with a smile that she didn't tell Gu Qingwu much about the military wives in the family compound. She felt that Gu Qingwu would get to know those people soon.

Some of them were attracted to Qin Haonan, the promising battalion commander, and wanted to introduce him to a girl, but Qin Haonan kept refusing. Chen Hongxia thought at the time that Qin Haonan was making excuses, but now seeing Gu Qingwu, she realized that Qin Haonan had not been making excuses, he was just waiting for his fiancée to arrive.

She could understand it, but those who wanted to take the opportunity to establish a relationship with Qin Haonan might not understand it.

It’s not that those people are bad, it’s just that, how should I put it, those people sometimes really go a little too far.

Qin Haonan refused so straightforwardly, but they still persisted. She didn't know what they were thinking. Forget it, never mind. If someone really wanted to cause trouble for Gu Qingwu because of this matter, she would not stand idly by.

Gu Qingwu didn’t know what Chen Hongxia was thinking, and she didn’t think much about it. She smiled and nodded, said goodbye to Chen Hongxia, and turned around to go home.

After Gu Qingwu left, Chen Hongxia remembered the snacks that Gu Qingwu had placed on the table. She didn't chase after Gu Qingwu to return them. She felt Gu Qingwu's kindness. At the same time, she once again felt the respect that Gu Qingwu showed for people when they got along with each other.

She just lent the other person a set of clothes, and she washed it and returned it to her early. She also gave her some snacks, which she placed there. She only saw them after the other person left, and she felt a little embarrassed. However, she also knew that even if she felt embarrassed, she couldn't return the things to the other person.

At worst, I can find a chance to return this gift later.

Thinking so, Chen Hongxia put the snacks away and planned to give them to the children after school.

Gu Qingwu returned home and began to clean up the house. She had just moved in and had bought a lot of things yesterday. She planned to put them together. By the way, she also wanted to turn the soil over to see if she could find a way to build a shed or something. Then, she could plant some vegetables. It gets cold very early here, and the temperature has already started to drop at this time. Gu Qingwu was really worried that the insulation would not be good enough, and she would not be able to grow any vegetables outside.

Gu Qingwu became more and more depressed the more he thought about it. He didn't know what to say for a moment. He hoped that there would be plastic sheets in the county.

This is her truest wish.
