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

Chapter 84 Night Talk
"Hey, didn't I just tell my sister-in-law about kimchi? Now that she's gone, should I still make it?"

Gu Qingwu muttered something and went to prepare the ingredients for pickling kimchi.

As soon as Chen Hongxia returned home, she started to prepare leek roots. She was still busy until Mu Weidong came back.

"Wife, what are you doing?"

Mu Weidong looked at Chen Hongxia's appearance and saw several baskets filled with soil in the room. He couldn't help but ask. He saw that the pot was cold and guessed that Chen Hongxia hadn't cooked dinner yet.

"I didn't do anything, I just dug some leek roots, thinking I'd have some dumplings during the winter New Year."

Chen Hongxia had almost finished planting the leek roots at this time, except for the last bit that needed to be done. Chen Hongxia was no longer in a hurry. Mu Weidong saw that Chen Hongxia was still busy, and after hearing what she had just said, he decided not to let Chen Hongxia cook.

"Then you continue, I'll go cook."

If one of the couple is too busy to cook, it's okay for the other to cook. Mu Weidong has never been the kind of person who would let his wife do the laundry and cooking at home. He would eat ready-made food when he got home. If his wife was not available, he would eat in the cafeteria. Regardless of his wife, he would also cook.

"Go ahead, do something simple."

Chen Hongxia said without raising her head, what else can Mu Weidong say after seeing this scene, she is his own wife, he should just spoil her.

It is precisely because of the way the couple get along that they have fewer conflicts. Mu Weidong is different from those men who come back and do nothing. When he comes back and sees something that needs to be done, he does it.

Most of the men in the army spend their time lying down or sitting down when they get home, and they rarely help their wives with housework.

This is also what Chen Hongxia is most satisfied with Mu Weidong.

Mu Weidong's cooking skills are only good enough to cook the food well. He didn't do much. He just fried some shredded potatoes, heated up some pancakes, and cooked some corn paste. That was a meal. Anyway, there were only two of them, and they would wait for the children to come back before they would prepare delicious food, like meat, and they basically waited for the children to come back to eat together.

Plus, they had eaten a lot of braised food in the past few days, so they weren't that greedy anymore.

The meal was ready and Chen Hongxia had finished her work. She brushed the dirt off herself, washed her face and hands, sat at the table and started eating.

"What did your troops find out about the girl who disappeared from the guesthouse?"

Chen Hongxia thought of Gu Qingyan's matter and asked curiously.

"The troops took a look and found that it was very likely that she had left, but they were a little curious about how she had left without alerting the waiter at the guesthouse."

Even though it was the middle of the night, there were people on duty in the guesthouse, and the waiter on duty didn't see anyone leave.

As for the claim that he was taken away by someone, there were no signs of struggle or drugs in the room. Mu Weidong was more inclined to believe that the other party left on his own, but the matter still needed to be investigated again to be confirmed.

"I feel like she left on her own. You don't know, that girl was so cruel and ruthless at such a young age."

Chen Hongxia thought of what Gu Qingwu said about what Gu Qingyan had done, and said with disgust that if that person really stayed, she would have to worry about the safety of her family.

She even stabbed her own cousin who often helped her in the back. Who knows about these people? What if they accidentally provoke others and the others attack them directly?
So, it is best for that person to leave the army on his own.

"I heard that too."

Mu Weidong actually preferred to go to Gu Qingwu's hometown to investigate. If this was true, then Gu Qingyan would need to be more careful. If they could be sure that the other party left on their own and there was no new evidence, they would not look for anyone. At most, they didn't know whether the army would contact Gu Qingwu's hometown.

"That girl has a really dark heart."

Chen Hongxia believed that what Gu Qingwu said was true. If it wasn't true, the girl wouldn't let Gu Qingwu throw dirty water on her. In fact, as long as they contacted their hometown, everything she did would be clear. She didn't know whether the army would contact their hometown.

"Before the matter is investigated thoroughly, please be careful with your words."

Mu Weidong reminded his wife helplessly, and Chen Hongxia rolled her eyes.

"Qingqing didn't lie."

Chen Hongxia looked at Mu Weidong and said, Mu Weidong shook his head.

"I didn't say she was lying. I just felt that the matter had not been investigated thoroughly. No matter what you say, it's not good."

Mu Weidong said helplessly, his identity and status are there.

"Well, I won't say anything."

Chen Hongxia understood what Mu Weidong meant.

"You said that what Ma Chunzhi did yesterday, she ended up losing more than she gained, right?"

Chen Hongxia thought about what Ma Chunzhi had done. On the surface, she wanted to make trouble for Gu Qingwu and also wanted to have a good reputation, but she didn't expect Gu Qingwu to not give her any face and directly locked them out. Ma Chunzhi wanted to say that Gu Qingwu did things in a dishonest way, but Gu Qingwu directly blocked her words and didn't give Ma Chunzhi any chance to speak.

"She has no brains."

There was such a big commotion at the entrance of the army, but Gu Qingyan didn't dare to go to the army. Wasn't it because of the things she had done in the past that had not been investigated? Ma Chunzhi wanted to make things difficult for Gu Qingwu, but she also had to be smart and know what she could and could not do. What she did yesterday was a bit untenable, and it was estimated that people in the family compound would talk about her behind her back.

"Jiang Ziyang will probably give her a good scolding."

Mu Weidong added a sentence and Chen Hongxia curled her lips.

"It's useless. Jiang Ziyang said that she will only bear a grudge against Qingqing."

Chen Hongxia just didn't understand. There was no benefit at all from Ma Chunzhi's doing this, but she was still jumping around. What was she trying to gain?
If she disliked Gu Qingwu, she could have just stopped associating with her. Why did she tend to make things difficult for Gu Qingwu?

Mu Weidong shook his head when he heard this. He thought that Ma Chunzhi would probably hold a grudge against Gu Qingwu just as his wife had said. If Ma Chunzhi continued to cause trouble, Jiang Ziyang would probably take action and would not let her continue to make trouble. If she continued to make trouble, Jiang Ziyang would also be affected.

Although Jiang Ziyang did not teach Ma Chunzhi a lesson yesterday, Ma Chunzhi was definitely taught a lesson by Jiang Ziyang in private. I just don't know if Ma Chunzhi got the lesson.

"Forget it, let's not talk about these unhappy things."

Chen Hongxia looked at Mu Weidong, not knowing what he was thinking. She didn't continue the topic. She was now glad that Jiang Ziyang was not in the same group as Mu Weidong, otherwise things would have been really troublesome.

Mu Weidong also thought of this. Jiang Ziyang should be jumping up and down at home at this time, right?
