"Xiaowu...Xiaowu..."

Zhang Guoqing had just finished lunch when he heard Yi Jiefang shouting and the sound of several people's footsteps. He hurried out of the living room.

Seeing his friends running over in the scorching sun, he raised his eyebrows and jokingly said, "They're being chased by dogs. Didn't you say this morning that you wouldn't come today? What's the story?"

Yi Jiefang rolled his eyes and pointed to the west wing.

Zhang Guoqing smiled and nodded.

Wan Dayong wiped his sweat and said viciously, "Who knows what Dayi is up to. He told us to gather here as soon as he came over."

Ding Datou then said, "If there is no reasonable explanation, you better be careful!"

Geng Dasheng had already followed Yi Jiefang in, and he turned to Zhang Guoqing and said, "Xiaowu, give us something to quench our thirst."

"Yes, where's your wife? Let her have that crushed ice from last time."

"Brother Dayong, run..."

Zhang Guoqing looked at the people talking to themselves and sneaking into the west wing with a mixture of laughter and tears. He shook his head, resignedly took a knife, went to the well and brought the remaining half of the watermelon into the west wing.

"Jiaojiao went to her aunt's house, so let's make do with what we have for now. Sorry, buddy."

Wan Dayong looked at his half-smile and shuddered, "Don't! You're so scared, talk to me nicely. Why didn't you follow your wife around today?"

Ding Datou: "Needless to say, I was just disliked."

Geng Dasheng then added: "Who made his wife cling to him every day after she came back?"

Yi Jiefang laughed heartily.

Zhou Guoqing looked at these bad friends speechlessly, "My friends, can we still have fun?"

"You are a guy who values ​​women over friends, and you still want to have fun! Tell me honestly how much stock you have left?" Wan Dayong said with a double entendre and glanced at his lower body provocatively.

"There should be quite a lot left. Xiaowu, bring brother something delicious."

Upon hearing this, Wan Dayong kicked Yi Jiefang and cursed, "Serves you right, you cucumber!"

"A gentleman uses his mouth, not his fists." Yi Jiefang grabbed a piece of watermelon and quickly jumped away, shouting.

Zhang Guoqing had no interest in letting others tease him about his marital affairs. He changed the subject and asked, "Does Dayi have any plans?"

After hearing what he said, everyone's eyes were fixed on Yi Jiefang.

Yi Jiefang slowly nibbled at his watermelon, spitting out the seeds. Seeing they were getting impatient, he said, "I'm going back to my hometown in the next couple of days. Do you want me to book the tickets for you?"

"School only starts in about half a month. Is that enough time to go back and forth?"

"No money! No way!"

"Go to hell, don't go back."

Zhang Guoqing listened to their discussion and shook his head when Yi Jiefang looked at him. Fortunately, Zhou Jiao hadn't mentioned her plan to go south to Dayi before, otherwise he would have scolded her.

"You really aren't going?"

Zhang Guoqing suggested, "Why don't you go back home for the New Year during winter break? Even if you go now, you can only spend a day or two with your grandparents before you have to rush back."

Yi Jiefang hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright. If you don't want to go, I'll let it go. Let my eldest brother go back by himself."

Zhang Guoqing was secretly delighted. If all went well, he could go south with him at the end of the year. Having a local acquaintance made things much easier.

In order to reward his brothers, he smiled and said, "I'm going back to my hometown in a few days. Do you want to go with me?"

To his surprise, several people shook their heads. He asked curiously, "Why? Do you have other plans?"

Geng Dasheng told the truth. "We asked our fellow Northeasterners, and they said it's hard to get meat there now. The mountains have been stripped bare. It would be a waste of time to go. The money we expended on the journey would cover several trips to restaurants."

Zhang Guoqing didn't force it. The round trip was quite expensive, and last time they could have taken the military train. This time, even if he had paid for the fare, they wouldn't agree.

Wan Dayong winked at him and smiled, "The main thing is that I don't want to disturb you two."

Zhang Guoqing said to him seriously, "Brother, listen to my advice. Sex is like a knife hanging over your head. It's time to control your mind and cultivate your character."

Wan Dayong put away his playful expression, stared at him for a while, and nodded seriously.

Based on his understanding of Zhang Guoqing, he was able to make the other party change his previous nonchalant attitude and say this, so he should not take it lightly.

Zhang Guoqing smiled at him. They were all intelligent people, so he probably knew what was going on. There was no such thing as a wall without ventilation. If someone were to expose an incestuous relationship, even Mr. Wan wouldn't be able to save him.

Yi Jiefang sensed the subtle atmosphere and rolled his eyes. "Do you want to go back home safely this time?"

"Yes, if I don't go back, I'll probably forget what my hometown is like."

"How long will you stay this time?"

"About ten days at most."

Geng Dasheng: "If you have more goods, bring them back."

Zhang Guoqing smiled and nodded.

"Send a telegram when you come back, and we'll pick you up at the station."

Yi Jiefang pretended to cover his chest and pointed at Wan Dayong, "You, you are so disloyal. Why didn't you come to pick me up?"

"Get lost! You're disgusting to me."

Everyone burst into laughter at their amusement.

At this time, another couple came in from outside. Seeing Fang Fei carefully supporting his pregnant wife Yi Shumin, everyone was even more amused.

Yi Jiefang raised his eyebrows towards his friends and jokingly said, "Brother Xiaofei, you are the worthy husband of the modern era."

"That's right! You guys should learn from them." Fang Fei replied nonchalantly, helped his wife sit down, and quickly took a piece of watermelon and stuffed it into her hand.

Zhang Guoqing looked at him amusedly, "Why aren't you at work today?"

"It's time for a shift change. If you have any food at home, bring it up to your sister-in-law."

Yi Shumin then laughed and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense. The watermelon is enough. Where's Jiaojiao?"

"Your sister-in-law is too bored at home, go call your wife over."

Zhang Guoqing looked at his watch and said, "She'll be back soon. Sister-in-law, do you want to go to the study and rest for a while?"

Yi Shumin knew that he was worried that she would feel uncomfortable, so she smiled and shook her head, "No need. I just want to join in the fun, you guys can have your fun."

Zhang Guoqing didn't say anything more after hearing this. He said to Wan Dayong and the others, "How about we play poker, according to the old rules?"

"Okay. There's nowhere else to go in this weather."

Four people came on the field, and people squeezed in to look at the cards. Zhang Guoqing saw that they had settled down, went out the door, returned to the room, grabbed a plate of dried meat and gave it to Yi Shumin.

Being pregnant these days is not easy. She's so thin that she's just left with a big belly. If this were his wife, he'd be willing to sacrifice a lot of flesh for her. He looked down on Fang Fei, who was having so much fun.

This guy will definitely be scolded by his wife every night!

Yi Shumin smiled brightly, "Save it for Xiao Ping'an."

"You're welcome, just eat whatever you want..." Halfway through his words, a look of surprise appeared on his face, "Jiaojiao is back."

Yi Shumin watched him run away quickly, laughing happily. She turned her head to look at her man who was laughing foolishly while picking up cards, and her eyes rolled around.

Hmm. Looks like it needs some renovation!

Fang Fei suddenly felt creepy and subconsciously looked up at his wife and smiled at her. Seeing that she smiled back, he glanced at the dried meat in her hand and breathed a sigh of relief.

Illusion! It must be an illusion!

He said that he got good cards this time and that he was very lucky.
