The tycoon's wicked wife from the era of literature has been reborn.

Chapter 118 He was more than happy to do so

There are no mosquito coils at home, and the mosquitoes in the village are extremely deadly in the summer. If you are bitten by one, it will be red and itchy, which is quite torturous.

Fortunately, there are mosquito nets in every room of the house. I made them myself using yarn and cloth. They are a bit thick and not very breathable.

However, the temperature drops at night, making it easier to sleep than in the city.

Gao Qinghe found the moxa sticks her grandmother had wrapped, lit them, and took them to Gao Qingmiao's cubicle to fumigate the area.

Especially inside the mosquito net, there might be mosquitoes that secretly flew in during the day.

If you don't deal with them properly, you won't be able to sleep peacefully that night; you'll have to get up in the middle of the night to swat mosquitoes.

The cubicle was cramped and dark, far inferior to the bright and sunny room where Gao Qinghe and her sister lived.

The ground was made of rammed earth, and various odds and ends were placed in the corners.

When the three siblings were young, they slept in the same room, each with their own small bed.

When Gao Qingmiao grew up, she was moved to a separate room.

He didn't actually stay there for long. Now that he's moved to the county town, he only comes back to sleep occasionally when he has free time.

A room that has been unoccupied for a long time always has a damp smell.

As Gao Qinghe burned mugwort, she looked around the small cubicle. The thought of having Jiang Baohai sleep there later made her feel a little guilty.

However, their family will soon move out of this old, dilapidated mud house.

Thinking about the money she had now, Gao Qinghe was happy again.

Jiang Baohai walked in and saw her kneeling on the bed made of wooden planks, smiling to herself.

A pair of beautiful eyes shone brightly in the faint light of the burning mugwort.

A strange feeling flashed through Jiang Baohai's mind.

She walked over quietly to the bedside.

Gao Qinghe saw a dark shadow looming over her head. Just as she was about to turn around, she was tightly embraced from behind.

"I have to go back first thing tomorrow morning."

Jiang Baohai's hoarse voice sounded from behind him. If he could, he wouldn't want to be separated from her for even a second.

Gao Qinghe relaxed her tense body, shook her shoulders, and warned in a low voice:

"You're so bold in my own home, are you out of your mind? Let go of me right now."

If his younger sister sees him, she won't be able to save his life.

"It's okay, your sister went to the bathroom." Jiang Baohai hugged her even tighter. "I'm not letting go."

Gao Qinghe: "We're burning mugwort, stop fooling around."

"Don't you like it?" He pressed his thin lips close to hers and gave her a light kiss on the cheek.

Gao Qinghe's hand trembled, and she almost poked the mugwort into the mosquito net, burning a hole through it.

Her earlobe was sucked again, and Gao Qinghe felt a heat in her lower abdomen. She gritted her teeth and gasped for breath.

Jiang Baohai chuckled softly, still wanting to tease her, when he heard the sound of rapid footsteps coming from the courtyard.

Gao Qinghe twisted her elbow backward and said in a panic, "My sister is back!"

Jiang Baohai coughed twice, caught off guard by an elbow strike to the chest, and then kissed her on the top of her head before stepping back.

He stood by the bed with his hands behind his back, looking very serious.

"Sister, are you done?" Gao Qingya ran in and asked softly.

Gao Qinghe took a deep breath, crawled out of the mosquito net, and stuffed the remaining mugwort into Jiang Baohai's hand.

He nodded to his younger sister, "Let's go to sleep."

Jiang Baohai hurriedly said, "There's not much time to prepare. Think about how to do the wedding these next few days so I can make arrangements in advance."

Gao Qinghe nodded and hummed in agreement, "I'll tell you when I'm done with this."

More than getting married, she's now worried about how to get her family members to the city for medical checkups.

Seeing her frown, Jiang Baohai said earnestly, "Just tell me if you need anything." Gao Qinghe turned around and smiled at him, "Don't worry, I definitely won't stand on ceremony with you."

Upon hearing her words, Jiang Baohai could barely suppress the smile on his face.

He was more than happy to be used by her.

The sisters gently closed their door. Jiang Baohai watched the light seeping through the crack in the door until it was completely extinguished. Then he took the nearly burned mugwort and used it to fumigate the room.

After finishing fumigating, I turned off the lights and went to bed.

The next morning, before dawn, Jiang Baohai went back.

Grandma Tian wanted to prepare some food for him to take with him, but there wasn't enough time.

The old lady felt sorry for the young people who were so busy.

It's better to get married sooner rather than later. If the two young people live together, they won't have to travel back and forth between two places in the future.

Thinking about her eldest granddaughter's upcoming wedding, Grandma Tian happily hummed a song again.

The village primary school was on holiday, and Gao Chongyi, who rarely stayed home, wanted to sleep in, but his biological clock woke him up very early in the morning.

After lying in bed for a while, unable to fall back asleep, I simply got up and accompanied Huang Ying to the fields to check on the water.

When the couple returned, each of them carried a large handful of colorful wildflowers picked from the roadside.

Place one on the daughter's windowsill, one in the main room, and one in her own bedroom, filling the entire courtyard with a sweet fragrance.

Gao Qingya's middle school entrance exam results are coming out soon, but the girl isn't anxious at all, while her family is worried for her.

Before Gao Qinghe got up, Gao Chongyi had already gone to the convenience store to call the teacher he knew in town.

"The results will be available the day after tomorrow," Gao Chongyi said.

Gao Qingya filled her and her sister's bowls to the brim with food, her mouth stuffed full as she mumbled:

"I've already checked the answers with my classmates, getting 700 points shouldn't be a problem."

The total score for the Qingxian Junior High School Entrance Examination is 750. If you can score 700, you'll have more than enough to get into the top class at the county's junior high school.

Huang Ying's studies weren't strictly managed, and she didn't have high expectations. "It would be fine if she could get into high school."

Gao Chongyi is completely different from his wife; he believes that parents should help their children discover their potential.

Why settle for second best when you clearly have the ability to get into a top university?

"Dad will go to school with you the day after tomorrow to check your grades."

Gao Qingya didn't care who accompanied her, as long as her eldest sister insisted on being there. She tugged at Gao Qinghe's sleeve, wanting her to come along.

Gao Qinghe had a sudden inspiration, "How about the whole family go together? We can check the results in the morning, and then go to the county hospital for a check-up in the afternoon. We can stay in the city for one night, how about that? Consider it a celebration."

Gao Qingya was the first to respond, raising her hand, "I agree!"

Grandma Tian was tempted but hesitated, "What about the chickens at home?"

Huang Ying considered the remaining tasks in the field, and it seemed that apart from watering the newly planted seedlings with manure and checking the water level, there wasn't much else to do.

During the off-season in July and August, many villagers go to the city to find odd jobs. If they can work a full two months, they can cover their fertilizer costs for the year.

In previous years, Huang Ying would carry the vegetables she couldn't finish growing in her garden to the countryside and towns to sell.

They also use the grain left over from last year to distill liquor. In the sweltering summer, sitting in front of the steaming stove, after a busy day, their whole bodies are soaked in sweat.

After Gao Qinghe and Huang Yanqiu left the village, Huang Ying mentioned to Gao Chongyi that her daughter wanted to take her family to the hospital for a medical check-up.

Huang Ying was reluctant to go, partly because she couldn't find the time, but mainly because she was afraid of wasting money.

Gao Chongyi knew that his wife had many minor ailments, but he was used to enduring them and never complained.

Now that Gao Qinghe brought it up, he said to his wife, "It's no big deal to rest for a few days. Go ahead, don't spoil the kids' fun."

Huang Ying asked worriedly, "Isn't the physical exam very expensive?"

Gao Qinghe nodded. "A full-body checkup isn't cheap."

Under the curious gazes of her family, she grinned mischievously, pulled the bag full of money from the room, and placed it on the table. "But our family is rich now!"
