Chapter 120 Donation
Ye Nuan didn't take Ma Sanlan's borrowing of soy sauce seriously; she simply ignored people who liked to take advantage of others.
As for whether she would say she was stingy outside, Ye Nuan didn't care. Anyway, she had to go to work. When she was actually in the compound, she was basically at home. She didn't have time to care about gossip outside.
Most importantly, after hearing Xiang Lan say that Ma Sanlan was a bad person and notorious in the compound for taking advantage of others, Ye Nuan naturally decided not to tolerate her anymore.
That evening, after Ye Nuan took a shower, she asked Gu Hanchuan to take a shower as well.
To make Ye Nuan more comfortable, Gu Hanchuan specially converted one of the west wing rooms into a room with a combined bathroom and toilet.
This concept is quite advanced, and more importantly, it's incredibly useful!
Ye Nuan had a towel wrapped around her head and was wearing a thin, long-sleeved bathrobe. She sat on the sofa reading a book.
When Gu Hanchuan came in, he saw her and thought she was incredibly beautiful.
The towel covered most of her hair, with a few strands occasionally peeking out playfully, their curled shapes seeming to beckon Gu Hanchuan to hurry over.
Gu Hanchuan's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, then he took out a hairdryer and slowly began to dry her hair.
Ye Nuan shifted her body slightly, cooperating perfectly.
Ye Nuan said her hair was ready when it was half dry.
"As long as it's not dripping wet, it'll be fine. I'll comb it again in a bit, and it'll dry faster."
Seeing that she didn't move, Gu Hanchuan simply took the comb himself and carefully combed her hair again, mainly because he was afraid of getting the hair knots stuck again. If it hurt his little wife, that would be bad.
Just by smoothing her hair, Gu Hanchuan was on high alert.
"Would you like some water?"
Ye Nuan didn't even look up: "No need. It's not good to drink too much water at night."
Gu Hanchuan thought for a moment: "Are you worried about getting up at night?"
"No, it's mainly because if I drink a lot of water at night, I'm prone to swelling the next morning. I still have to go to work, so I need to look my best."
Gu Hanchuan wasn't sure if he understood or not, but since his wife said not to drink water, he wouldn't drink it.
"It's getting late, stop looking. The light is too dim. I'll replace it with a brighter bulb later."
"No need, there's a desk lamp! I'm just feeling lazy today and don't want to move, so I'm looking at it here. I'll look at it at my desk later."
Gu Hanchuan felt that his wife seemed a bit slow-witted.
Calculating the time and thinking about the work he had to do tomorrow, Gu Hanchuan stopped talking and started working directly.
Just as Ye Nuan was about to turn the page, the book in her hand was snatched away, and then inexplicably she was lifted into the air.
"Ah! Gu Hanchuan, what are you doing!"
Gu Hanchuan just chuckled and went into the bedroom, where his hands and mouth were constantly busy.
Soon, Ye Nuan's humming began to spread, and the temperature in the room seemed to rise a little.
There is still plenty of rainfall in Zhejiang Province in autumn.
And sometimes it might only rain for a few minutes, and then after a sunny day for an hour or two, it will rain lightly for a few more minutes.
Ye Nuan wasn't surprised by the climate here, but this kind of weather made her feel irritable.
For example, she doesn't dare to hang the clothes she washed in the morning directly in the yard, in case it rains during the day.
No one was home all day. If the clothes got soaked twice more by the rain, then all the washing was for nothing.
In the end, Ye Nuan decided to only do laundry when she was resting, otherwise she would be worried about leaving the house unattended.
As for small items of clothing, Ye Nuan had Gu Hanchuan set up a rope in the bathroom. The two of them washed their underwear almost every day and then hung it there to dry.
Nowadays, many families are not particular about hygiene; no matter what kind of clothes they wash, they just carelessly hang them out to dry in the yard.
If a female colleague comes in, it's not so bad, but if a male colleague comes in and sees the female colleague's underwear as soon as he walks in, the scene would be extremely awkward!
Ye Nuan bought all her underwear herself at a high price from department stores.
Having lived my life again, I still feel I should treat myself better.
He not only bought it for himself, but also gave two items to Song Huili.
These days, many women only wear tank tops and don't wear bras at all.
Ye Nuan slept until after eight o'clock that day. There was food left for her by Gu Hanchuan in the kitchen. When she touched it, the porridge was still a little warm.
Ye Nuan cursed under her breath: "Beast!"
After finishing her meal, Ye Nuan rested for a while before starting to do laundry.
Gu Hanchuan usually washes his own clothes at the military camp. He also has a dormitory there, which is essential since they all take turns on night duty.
So, basically, Ye Nuan only needs to be responsible for washing her own clothes.
This significantly reduced the workload.
She knew that Gu Hanchuan felt sorry for her, which was why he washed his own clothes. Zheng Fu next door would leave his dirty clothes for Xiang Lan to wash.
After a week, there aren't actually that many dirty clothes.
Ye Nuan is very clean and basically changes her clothes every two or three days. Moreover, she wears low-heeled leather shoes, so she doesn't need to wash them, which saves her a lot of trouble.
Gu Hanchuan wasn't coming back at noon, and Ye Nuan was feeling lazy, so she figured she'd just grab something to eat.
Around 11 o'clock, there was another knock on the door.
Tian Guihua and Ma Sanlan came together.
"Sisters-in-law, is there something you need?"
"Well, there's something I need to discuss with you. Shall we go inside and talk?"
Ye Nuan thought that it wasn't mealtime yet, and there was nothing shameful in her house, so she simply moved aside.
As the two walked forward, Ye Nuan finally saw the little black boy who had been hiding behind Ma Sanlan.
"Who is this child?"
Ma Sanlan smiled and said, "This is my son Baogen. Both of my daughters have gone to school, and there's no one to look after him, so I brought him along."
Ye Nuan nodded without saying anything and invited the person to sit down in the courtyard.
The weather is neither too hot nor too cold, and it's not raining, so many people are simply entertaining guests in their courtyards. Ye Nuan's behavior isn't considered impolite.
After sitting down, Tian Guihua said with a serious expression, "It's like this, a comrade in our compound was injured before. I heard that he will be transferred back to civilian work in the next few days because of his leg problems. Although the higher-ups have arranged a job for him, I heard that the salary is not very high. He has four children at home, and I heard that he also has an elderly mother to support. We discussed it with Aunt Zhao Yue before, thinking that each household should donate some money as a token of our goodwill."
Ye Nuan had no objection: "Then what are the rules for the donation?"
"We don't have any written rules about this. It's just a matter of how you feel. If you're well-off, you can contribute more if you're willing. If you're not well-off, any amount is fine. It's all about the sentiment."
That sounds more pleasant.
Ye Nuan nodded: "Then I'll discuss with Gu Hanchuan later about who should receive the money?"
Tian Guihua puffed out her chest, a hint of smugness on her face: "Just leave it to me. I have the list, and I'll summarize it all and report it to the comrades in the compound."
