Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again-Chapter 138 - : I’ll Bring You Here Again Tomorrow

Chapter 138: Chapter 138: I’ll Bring You Here Again Tomorrow

After her moment of enchantment, Gu Qiaoqiao asked Qin Yize, who was a few steps away, “Where was the place where the stones were found?”

Qin Yize led Gu Qiaoqiao down the steps of the dike to the nearby river water.

The stones here were very clean, as no one came here, and there was no garbage.

Soon, they reached the place where the stones were found.

Qin Yize pointed to the sandy beach a step away, “It’s right here.”

Gu Qiaoqiao looked closely, but there didn’t seem to be anything different, and not far from there was the river water.

Gu Qiaoqiao wanted to have a closer look. It was said to be in the shallow waters nearby, and she wondered if it could be seen.

However, she didn’t expect Qin Yize to grab her by the arm, his brow furrowing, “It’s very dangerous ahead, you can’t go.”

Gu Qiaoqiao blinked her eyes.

Being closer, the sound of the rushing river water grew louder. It was said that many people felt fear upon seeing such deep water.

And strangely, at the same time as the fear, there was also an impulse to jump in.

But Gu Qiaoqiao was not afraid, because her liberation and rebirth were caused by such deep water.

She even felt grateful towards the water.

Unfortunately, such feelings had to be forever suppressed deep within her heart.

She turned back with a smile, obediently stepping back two steps, and said to Qin Yize, “Do you think there could still be stones under the water?”

Qin Yize thought momentarily, responding indifferently, “I’m not sure, we can check it out when the water level goes down in the summer.”

“Really?” Gu Qiaoqiao asked excitedly.

“Hmm, it’s true.”

“Then I’ll go by myself, you know I’m a good swimmer,” Gu Qiaoqiao bragged proudly.

And actually, what she wanted most was to go down and see for herself what good things were there.

Qin Yize glanced at Gu Qiaoqiao, “Okay.”

This girl was a decent swimmer, and besides, there would be no danger if he was with her when they went down.

So he happily agreed.

Gu Qiaoqiao then stopped talking to Qin Yize and squatted down to search for interesting stones.

With her skill, she could completely turn these into attractive objects.

Qin Yize noticed that she was picking stones that were semi-transparent, brightly colored, or uniquely shaped.

And to tell the truth, one or two placed by the river looked quite ordinary.

But strangely, when dozens of small stones were grouped together, they looked extremely beautiful.

They resembled rain flower stones.

Checking the time, Qin Yize said to Gu Qiaoqiao, who was still searching for stones, “Let’s go.”

Gu Qiaoqiao looked at her watch, it seemed like it was time for dinner, so she stopped picking. She would be staying here for a while and would have plenty of opportunities later.

Seeing her reluctant expression, Qin Yize spoke again, “I’ll bring you back here tomorrow.”

Gu Qiaoqiao thought about it and shook her head, “I plan to sleep in tomorrow.”

Qin Yize chuckled softly.

He knew she would respond like that.

He didn’t insist further and watched as Gu Qiaoqiao packed the stones before leading her away from the riverbank.

Together, they ran towards the base.

By this time, there were more people around.

They ran into several of Qin Yize’s colleagues on the road, and Qin Yize introduced them. Gu Qiaoqiao knew a few of them, though it was the first time she had met them in this life.

One of them was Engineer Zheng, who worked closely with Qin Yize and was said to be a chemist.

With him was Engineer Qian, who was responsible for the environment.

After confirming the dinner time for Saturday, Qin Yize led Gu Qiaoqiao towards the cafeteria at the base.

While Engineer Zheng watched Qin Yize and Gu Qiaoqiao’s figures disappearing, he turned to Engineer Qian dubiously and said, “How old do you think Qin Yize’s wife really is?”

“How would I know how old she is?” He glanced at Ludong next to him, “You’re closer to him, why are you asking me this?”

“They say she is of age, but why does she look like a middle school student to me? How did Qin Yize even get a marriage license with her?” Engineer Zheng expressed his confusion.

“Haha.” Engineer Qian laughed heartily, “If he heard that, I think you would get beaten up.”

“I am just praising his wife for looking young.” Engineer Zheng slapped Engineer Qian, “The project you’re responsible for is stuck at a crucial point. If it’s not resolved, we can’t proceed here. I think you better focus on that.”

With that, he left cheerfully.

Engineer Qian coughed a few times, also knowing that with Qin Yize joining them this year, their research base had to produce real results or they wouldn’t pass the review.

Thus, he stopped pondering over Gu Qiaoqiao’s age and strode energetically after Engineer Zheng, hoping to get some information out of the man from Ludong.

Even a little bit would be good.

At this moment, it was 6:30 in the morning.

The daylight saving time had started being implemented this year.

According to the time, it should only be 5:30.

Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t go to the cafeteria; instead, she waited outside and soon, Qin Yize came out with a few lunch boxes.

Seeing the staff in engineering suits or lab coats coming and going, Gu Qiaoqiao whispered, “Don’t come in the future, I’ll cook for you.”

In her past life, she ate for a long time in the base’s cafeteria and didn’t even feel embarrassed, even thinking it somewhat natural.

She didn’t know why, but this life felt somewhat inappropriate.

Could it really be that she thought more because she was older?

When Qin Yize heard her first sentence, he didn’t pay much attention; Gu Qiaoqiao was a new family member at the base, lacking many household items.

Coming here to eat raised no objections.

However, after hearing her next sentence, Qin Yize was touched, a stream of warmth flowing through his heart.

He smirked, nodded, and said solemnly, “Okay.”

Then, without further delay, he took Gu Qiaoqiao back home.

They finished their meal quickly; Gu Qiaoqiao took out an empty travel bag, ready to go grocery shopping when the car arrived.

Meanwhile, Qin Yize informed Gu Qiaoqiao about the town’s situation.

Gu Qiaoqiao listened attentively, very cooperatively.

She had visited many times in her past life.

Because next year, the Yellow Sand Road leading to the town would be fixed.

The distance shortened, even by bicycle it would only take half an hour’s time.

Called a town because it had many forestry bureaus under its administration, and also many military bases stationed there, it had been upgraded to a town five years ago.

Yet in reality, it wasn’t very large; from east to west, from south to north.

It was a very small place.

This here was different from Stone Town because, aside from the Da Jiang, there was only the vast, boundless forest.

So, this place was all forestry bureau workers.

All the grains and vegetables had to be transported by train from other regions.

And at this time, the local economy was just starting to develop.

Buying some things was not as convenient as it would be a few years later.

Seeing that Gu Qiaoqiao had more or less understood, Qin Yize stopped talking.

Then he went outside to start chopping firewood.

When lighting a fire, large chunks wouldn’t catch fire.

It needed to be split finer.

This was the simple yet somewhat tough life at the base.

However, the mood this life was completely different.
