Chapter 65 There is no worst, only worse

Because they were hundreds of kilometers apart, Gu Wan had no physical contact with Qin Shiman, so he didn't know that the heroine's magical system could also exchange for such a magical thing as the bad luck talisman.

However, Gu Wan was indeed a bit unlucky that day. First, when he was getting ready to go out early in the morning, he suddenly felt uncomfortable in his stomach.

It turned out that she was having her period. Fortunately, Gu Wan had spent a lot of money to buy suitable sanitary products in the system mall, so she quickly went to change them.

But it still delayed things. By the time Gu Wan packed up and prepared to leave for the commune, it was already late.

Fortunately, Qi Bin did not go out for business today, and his bicycle was there. Gu Wan refused to let him see her off and borrowed the bicycle.

With Qi Bin's bicycle, I would definitely be able to ride to work at the commune in time.

As bad as it rains, when one is unlucky, even drinking water will get stuck in one's teeth. Halfway through the journey, the bicycle tire actually burst.

There was nothing that could be done about it. The roads in the countryside were mostly gravel and muddy, and it had just rained.

Gu Wan didn’t know how to repair a bicycle tire, and he didn’t have the tools and there was no repair shop nearby.

By the time Gu Wan finally pushed her bicycle to the commune, it was already past 12 o'clock in the morning, even though she had to urgently take out the Fruit to check the time on the way.

Otherwise, she might arrive even later. Gu Wan realized that she really needed a watch right now.

There is no worst, only worse. Originally, Gu Wan arrived at the commune around ten in the morning. There were two helpers who would prepare the meat, vegetables, fish and eggs for lunch in advance.

Then Gu Wan went to Ma Hongli to find out how many leaders would be having lunch at noon, arranged the dishes, and then prepared the meal around twelve o'clock.

Basically, Gu Wan’s task for the day was completed.

But there was one thing Huang Chunlan did guess right: Gu Wan didn't like cleaning the kitchen or washing dishes.

Although people of this era don't eat much oil and water, the bowls and chopsticks are not that greasy, but there is also no detergent, so Gu Wan always feels that the dishes are not clean.

Moreover, her hands felt greasy after washing. Even if she had bought hand cream in the system mall, she couldn't use it in broad daylight.

However, the small kitchen where she worked was newly built, and the two people who were temporarily transferred to help her were not very happy, so it was impossible to add another dishwasher specifically for her.

The worst news is that the cafeteria was said to be too busy today, so those two people did not come to help today.

It was almost twelve o'clock, and Brother Ma had already come over to reveal that several leaders would be at home and eat in the small kitchen at noon.

In other words, if Gu Wan fails to prepare at least four dishes and one soup in the shortest possible time, it would be a dereliction of duty.

Even if she prepared vegetables, meat and eggs now, it would be too late.

At the critical moment, after making sure that there was no one else in the small kitchen, Gu Wan hurriedly took out Fruit 12.

As soon as I joined the group, I saw a red envelope and clicked it reflexively. Gu Wan found that what he got was a self-heating pot.

Moreover, the red envelope she snatched actually contained a self-heating pot for ten people, with different flavors, so Gu Wan prepared six portions according to her own preferences.

It was braised chicken with rice. Gu Wan then quickly transferred these things out of the red envelope group's storage cabinet and put them all into bowls.

When she finished all this, Secretary Zhao and Secretary Zheng happened to come over with other people to have dinner.

Secretary Zheng has brought his wife here for dinner these past two days, and the old couple both like Gu Wan's cooking very much.

In particular, perhaps because women are more attentive, Secretary Zheng's wife noticed that the rice Gu Wan served to the old couple was much softer. As they were old and had bad teeth, they liked softer food.

However, Secretary Zheng never wanted to trouble others on this point, so he would not deliberately make any requests to the chef in the cafeteria.

But it was Gu Wan himself who discovered this, so he did all this silently.

Secretary Zheng’s wife was very moved, saying that girls are indeed better and more considerate.

The braised chicken rice had broth in it, and was paired with the garlic vegetables that Gu Wan had specially fried. The leaders and their wives were all very satisfied with the meal.

Secretary Zheng's wife also noticed, "Xiao Gu, why are you alone at noon today and no one is helping you?"

The small kitchen belongs to the commune canteen, but it is also an independent department. She knows that there are two helpers besides Xiao Gu.

"Maybe they are busy today, so they didn't come to the small kitchen." Gu Wan told the truth.

I don't go out of my way to say good things about them, nor do I deliberately complain about them.

Not to mention Secretary Zheng’s wife, several other leaders could also see that there was nothing to be busy about.

The canteen has always had a big pot for meals. In addition to Chef Li, there are several helpers. It was Secretary Zhao who personally coordinated and arranged to transfer them to the small kitchen.

After only a few days, they started to slack off. The leaders of the commune were no fools and naturally knew that there was something fishy going on.

Seeing that Gu Wan not only did not complain, but was able to prepare such delicious meals by herself, she felt extremely satisfied.

Secretary Zhao had another plan in mind, but for the time being, he did not say it out loud.

Poor Gu Wan could only temporarily store his bicycle in the commune, planning to wait until tomorrow to see if he could find a way to repair the tire and walk back by himself.

She was already feeling a little weak due to her menstrual period, and the usually strong man wasn't in a very good mental state today. It was already four o'clock in the afternoon when Gu Wan cleaned up the small kitchen and walked home alone.

Qiao Yuemei stayed at home and not only did not go to work, she also made brown sugar ginger tea.

You know, brown sugar is a good thing in the countryside. This is the leftovers that Li Huihui saved while she was in confinement.

When Gu Wan, exhausted both physically and mentally and with a dull pain in his abdomen, returned home, he not only felt the love of his family, but also felt warm in his heart after drinking hot brown sugar ginger tea.

Unable to resist, she told Qiao Yuemei everything that happened today.

When the Shulin brothers heard this, they were shocked that the tire of their precious bicycle was flat, and they rushed out to carry the bicycle back.

Qi Bin also said that he had some repair tools.

Gu Wan was stunned and just watched his brothers go to carry the bicycle back.

Her grandmother repeatedly reminded her that it was okay to get tired, but she just needed to be careful not to fall off the bike and get hurt.

Seeing that the two elder brothers also agreed seriously, they seemed to agree with this statement.

Gu Wan, Gu Wan didn’t know what to say.

When she went back to her room to rest, Qiao Yuemei followed her into her daughter's room.
