Chapter 55: Bridal Chamber, is it proper for you to rub it like this?
Only Yan Xue, Qi Fang, Liu Weiguo and a few educated youth knew about the last watch repair incident.
Yan Xue and Qi Fang were not talkative people. Several educated youth felt embarrassed and would not tell anyone. Only Liu Weiguo could not keep it secret and was afraid of implicating Zhou Wenhui.
Therefore, few people know about this matter until now. The person who just bought the Qi Fang radio naturally didn't know that there was actually a feud between the two sides.
Hearing Zhang Guogang's question, he was still a little puzzled, "What's the matter? Do you two know each other?"
Not only did they know each other, he had also been a troublemaker for Liu Weiguo and Zhou Wenhui, and now they are about to get married...
Zhang Guogang had a slight toothache, but Liu Weiguo laughed out loud, "Let's meet. My wife was in the same educated youth team as him."
My wife said this in such a warm, confident and proud way.
The visitor had no doubts. "That's even better. You two can talk it over between yourselves. That way I don't have to be the middleman."
Liu Weiguo immediately smiled and looked at Zhang Guogang, "What kind do you want?"
If it were Jiang Debao, he'd have flipped out on the spot, but Zhang Guogang wasn't Jiang Debao, and Zhou Wenhui hadn't been introduced to him by her family. Thinking of this, Liu Weiguo's smiling face didn't seem so annoying anymore. Zhang Guogang simply said, "I want one that's smaller than the battery box, so it's easier to carry. We don't have that many."
Now that he's here, if he just leaves like this, it would seem like he can't afford to lose.
But Zhang Guogang couldn't help but sneer: "You know that person, can you pretend?"
"I can pretend, I can pretend." Liu Weiguo nodded as if he could pretend. "Wait for me to ask him for the price and then I'll tell you."
The real owner is right next to him, but he still has to take another turn. He seems to be very wary.
No matter how Zhang Guogang looked at her, he still felt that he couldn't like her, as if they were just born with different auras. He snorted and left.
Liu Weiguo immediately ran to ask Qi Fang: "How is it? He said that kind of thing can be pretended, right?"
"Yes, it has three tubes and two batteries. Ask him if he needs to plug it in."
"Okay, I'll definitely ask him for more for you."
Liu Weiguo waited until the evening before asking Zhang Guogang, and asked for a high price of fifty.
Although it was much cheaper than in the store, the one Qi Fang gave him was bigger and only forty. Just thinking about it made him feel like he had made a great deal.
However, after completing this installation, Qi Fang had almost used up all the accessories he had put together, so he told Liu Weiguo that he didn't need to help him attract business for the time being.
Qi Fang also took the fifty yuan back and gave it to Yan Xue. Yan Xue counted it and said, "You've given a lot of money home this month."
"Yeah." Qi Fang responded calmly, and then asked her calmly, "Don't you want it?"
"Who doesn't want money?" Yan Xue is very realistic and would not pretend to treat money as dirt.
If her family had been rich in her previous life, why would she and her father have suffered so much?
If she had money in this life, she would not have married herself off at such a young age just to make a living for herself and her brother.
Although judging from the result, it was worth marrying this person.
Unexpectedly, within two days, Zhang Guogang came to find Qi Fangxiu with a radio, and his expression was not very good when he entered the door.
At first glance at his expression, Yan Xue thought that there was something wrong with the radio that Qi Fang had installed, and the consumer had come to his door to complain.
On second thought, it didn't make sense. Others didn't believe in Qi Fang's ability, but she had read the original book. In the original book, Changqing Heavy Industry was most praised for its product quality. Not only did it occupy a large market share in China, but it was also exported to foreign countries.
Qi Fang was also very clear about what he had packed, so he asked first, "How did you get it?"
Zhang Guogang's face turned even worse when he heard this. "Jiang Debao went crazy late at night and fell."
"Jiang Debao went crazy in the middle of the night?" Yan Xue was a little bit unbelievable.
Not to mention that Jiang Debao and Zhang Guogang were both educated youth and they had gotten along well before. Even if they didn't, how could he dare to throw such a valuable thing around?
Zhang Guogang got angry when he mentioned this. "Who knows who he offended outside? He got put in a sack and beaten up. He came back and went crazy, and he was dissatisfied with everything. He confiscated my radio after listening to it. In the middle of the night, he got up and tripped, picked it up and threw it to me."
Maybe Jiang Debao was really furious. It was too dark in the middle of the night and he couldn't see clearly, so he didn't even know what had happened.
This was the person who put a sack on him and beat him. Why did Yan Xue have some guesses?
She couldn't help but look at Qi Fang and found that Qi Fang was very calm. He just went to get the toolbox with a normal expression.
Zhang Guogang also knew that this was not the fault of the product's poor quality. "Just show me what's wrong with it, and if I need to fix it or replace it, I'll pay you as usual."
Regardless of whether the watch repair was unethical, his family is really well-off and he has plenty of money to do the work.
Since the other person had said that, Qi Fang checked it carefully and found that there was no major problem. It was just that the battery had poor contact and the power cord was broken.
It really can't be blamed on him. The broken thing was the power cord he bought, not the part he soldered. Zhang Guogang had nothing to say.
Qi Fang helped Zhang Guogang tighten the battery connector and reconnected the broken power cord, charging Zhang Guogang three cents in total.
Zhang Guogang tried it and found no problem. His expression lightened up a bit and he picked up the radio and left.
As soon as the man left, Yan Xue winked at Qi Fang and asked, "Could it be Liu Weiguo who put the sack on him?"
Qi Fang was packing up his tools and didn't even look up when he heard this. "You can remove the 'bar'."
"It really was him who did it." Yan Xue laughed, "Isn't it because he didn't beat me enough last time and has been holding it in?"
"almost."
After all, Jiang Debao's words were too harsh. Not only did he threaten to make trouble for Zhou Wenhui after marriage, he also was not honest with Zhou Wenhui.
If this happened to Yan Xue, beating him up would be a bargain. Qi Fang thought he didn't have such a bad temper, so he could let Jiang Debao recuperate for a few days and then go out as usual.
In the past, Liu Weiguo didn't dare to take action, for he was afraid that if Zhou Wenhui really fell into Jiang Debao's hands, all the blame would be put on Zhou Wenhui. But now he is not afraid anymore.
It was also Jiang Debao's own bad luck. He tripped over the power cord of the radio in the middle of the night. Not only did he hit the injured area again, but he also smashed Zhang Guogang's radio in anger.
Whether or not to pay compensation is secondary. Zhang Guogang is not a good-tempered person, and he doesn't care about face. Just look at the time when he directly confronted Jiang Debao about molesting female comrades and you will know how glorious it was.
Sure enough, in the next few days, Jiang Debao was obviously ostracized by the small group. Zhang Guogang never took him with him in anything, and he even went to watch the fun on the day of Liu Weiguo and Zhou Wenhui's wedding.
Everyone knows that the person Zhou Wenhui was almost going to marry was Jiang Debao. A group of them went to create the atmosphere for Zhou Wenhui and another person's wedding, which was simply intentional to irritate people.
But Jiang Debao had no way to deal with them. He was not the core of this small group. Zhang Guogang and Yang Tao were the core. He could not compete with them in terms of conditions.
However, Liu Weiguo no longer cared about Jiang Debao after the battle. He was only thinking about marrying his beloved girl home.
When it comes to love, it always seems dull when it comes easily. On the contrary, the more twists and turns and setbacks there are, the more precious it seems.
Originally, the two of them were dating and just had some feelings for each other, but after going through so much together, they really developed a feeling that they couldn't live without each other.
When Liu Weiguo woke up that morning, the corners of his mouth never drooped. When he went to pick up the bride, he stood in front of the mirror and looked at himself three or four times, fearing that there was something about him that was not handsome enough.
Yan Xue immediately pulled Qi Fang aside and told him not to follow them, and even if he did, to stay as far away from them as possible.
The place for picking up the bride was set at the dormitory of the educated youth. Several female educated youth became relatives of Zhou Wenhui and helped Zhou Wenhui block the door. On the contrary, only Zhou Wenhui's mother and younger brother came from her real family.
Zhou's father was unhappy, but he didn't show it. He just asked Zhou's mother to tell Zhou Wenhui that she chose her own path and she shouldn't go back to her parents' home to beg for food in the future.
Zhou Wenhui was also disappointed by her father, and she also asked her mother to go back and tell her that she was the one who sold the ginseng to the Liu family by her father, and the Zhou family would have nothing to do with her in the future.
Unexpectedly, when her brother was about to carry her out, Liu Weiguo came up and carried her on his back.
Zhou Wenhui was stunned at the time, and then her face turned red. "Why are you carrying it by yourself?"
Liu Weiguo grinned, "You don't know, I also went to school with Qi."
The people around him were already making a fuss, and when they heard him mention Qi Fang, they burst into laughter. "I've never seen anyone as eager to get married as you two are!"
Liu Weiguo immediately responded, "You're not so impatient. You were afraid that we would make trouble in the bridal chamber and kick us all out!"
Now everyone laughed even more happily, and among the laughter there were a few whistles from people who were just watching the fun.
Qi Fang and Yan Xue didn't have many relatives in the local area, so they only had one table at their wedding. But it was different for Liu Weiguo, as he had a large number of relatives from his grandmother and uncles.
In addition, the Liu family has been living in the forest farm since its establishment and has many friends. Relying on the fact that the old man can hunt and has no shortage of food, they simply set up four tables in the yard.
Yan Xue and Qi Fang were arranged to sit at a table filled with Liu's own relatives. Liu Weiguo also specifically told everyone that Qi Fang could not drink, obviously not considering the two as outsiders.
However, when Liu Weiguo and Zhou Wenhui came over to toast, Qi Fang still drank a little and raised his glass to them politely, "Congratulations."
Yan Xue also picked up the cup in front of her, but before she could say anything, Liu Weiguo had already waved his hand, "Please don't do this. If I do this, we won't have a wedding night tonight." Zhou Wenhui quietly stepped on her foot.
Yan Xue was also amused by what he said. "I wouldn't dare to do that. I'll drink less, and you can just show some appreciation."
He also nodded to Zhou Wenhui and said, "I wish you a long and happy marriage and a son soon."
"Of course, of course." Liu Weiguo readily agreed and promised, "Learn from your Qi Fang and try to have one this year, and three in two years." He was stepped on by Zhou Wenhui again.
Hearing the familiar sentence "This year, you will have three children in two years", Yan Xue paused and sensitively noticed that the man next to her was looking at her with his peach blossom eyes.
That look was so meaningful, as if he was afraid that she didn't understand. After she put down her wine glass, the man even picked up a piece of food for her with his chopsticks, "Weiguo is pretty quick."
Yan Xue lowered her head to eat and didn't respond.
The man immediately picked up his second chopstick and said, "They knew each other before we got married. It's only been half a year."
But Yan Xue always felt that what he wanted to say was - "It's been half a year."
Yan Xue doesn't feel guilty easily, but even though Liu Weiguo, who was in a free love relationship, got married and even had a child in name, she still picked up a piece of food for the man with her chopsticks.
At that time, the man looked at the food in the bowl, then looked at her, his eyes becoming even deeper.
Yan Xue then realized that she had picked up something else, so she picked up a piece of stir-fried kidney with chopsticks, then quickly took it back and stuffed it into her mouth to eat.
There were many relatives from the Liu family, so there was enough manpower and no one needed to stay to help clean up. After drinking the wedding wine, Yan Xue and Qi Fang said goodbye with everyone else.
Liu Weiguo and Zhou Wenhui came out to see them off personally, and lowered their voices to say to them, "There were too many people at noon, and we didn't drink enough. Let's get together alone tonight, the young ones."
Qi Fang actually doesn't like to drink and doesn't like to join in the fun. Yan Xue originally thought he would refuse, but unexpectedly he agreed immediately.
Liu Weiguo was obviously very happy. "Then you can come directly to my new house tonight. The older ones are all at my parents'."
The Liu family's old house was so empty that they chose another location to build two new rooms for Liu Weiguo's wedding. The location they chose was not far from Yan Xue and Qi Fang's homes, so today's wedding banquet was held in the new house.
The two of them came out. The firecrackers set off during the banquet outside had not been swept away yet, and the streets were covered with festive colors. Several boys were searching for unexploded firecrackers among the confetti.
Liu Weibin was a naughty boy who even brought Yan Jigang out with him. The two little brothers' eyes widened.
It was rare for Yan Jigang to have a playmate, and it was also rare for him to be willing to come out and play. Yan Xue didn't want to disturb him, so she pulled Qi Fang and prepared to go back quietly.
Unexpectedly, just as he was about to leave, Yan Jigang discovered something and his eyes lit up, "Here, here it is!"
Just as he was about to pick it up, another yellow-haired child rushed over to pick it up and ran away, turning back and sticking out his tongue at him, "Slow, slow, slow, you little stutterer."
Yan Xue stopped in her tracks, her eyes looking a little gloomy.
What she was most worried about happened. Even after changing the environment, there would still be people laughing at Yan Jigang for stuttering.
Not everyone knows how to respect others. Some children don't even have any malicious intentions, they just follow suit because they think it's fun, which will still cause harm to Jigang.
But no matter how gloomy her eyes were, Yan Xue still didn't rush to move, and even raised her arm to stop Qi Fang next to her.
She wanted to see if Jigang would be braver after changing his environment, becoming less stressed, and having the love of his grandmother, sister, and brother-in-law.
When Yan Jigang heard someone imitating his speech again and calling him a little stutterer, his face turned pale and his lips were tightly pursed together.
Yan Xue knew him well and even noticed that his two hands were unconsciously tangled together and he began to pick his fingers nervously.
But after scratching it twice, he actually spoke, "Who, who said I stuttered? I, I'm speaking in dialect."
Although the sound was not loud, at that moment Yan Xue still didn't know whether to be moved or laugh.
Liu Weibin spoke in dialect all day long and short, and Jigang actually learned it.
The boy who grabbed the firecrackers was also confused when he heard this, "Whose dialect says that?"
"That's how we say it in my dialect!" Yan Jigang didn't look up, but his voice became louder, and he nodded vigorously as he spoke.
Liu Weibin also ran over from the other side, "I can testify that this is how they say it in their dialect!"
The other party still didn't believe it, "Whose dialect is spoken with a stutter? He just stutters, a little stutter, a little stutter!"
"If you don't believe me, I'll find my brother and his brother-in-law to tell you!" Liu Weibin's voice was even louder than his, and he started shouting: "Brother! Brother Qi Fang! Come out quickly!"
Liu Weiguo is getting married today, and there are many of Liu Weibin's brothers in the courtyard. Soon, several of them came out, and Qi Fang also stood behind Yan Jigang.
There are many children these days, and parents cannot take care of them. There is also little entertainment, so it is common for them to fight with each other. It is also common for them to go home and call their own brothers when they lose.
But it was not common to have so many brothers and brothers-in-law coming at once. The boy didn't know if he was scared or choked, but he burped as soon as he opened his mouth.
After he burped, Yan Jigang was not so nervous anymore.
And his brother-in-law was standing behind him. He also saw his sister, so he had to be a man as his sister said.
Yan Jigang tried to puff out his chest. "I, I'm speaking dialect. You don't know. You're just ignorant!"
After saying that, he couldn't help but glance at Yan Xue. Seeing Yan Xue gave him an encouraging look, his confidence immediately increased to seven points.
In comparison, the boy opposite had no confidence, and the few people playing with him didn't dare to say anything. After all, there were too many people here.
Finally, someone pulled the boy and said, "Come on, let's go play somewhere else."
The boy was obviously still unconvinced, but he was dragged away without saying anything.
As soon as the person left, Yan Jigang breathed a sigh of relief, as if he was the only one facing a large group of brothers and brothers-in-law alone.
Yan Xue found it funny and walked over to look at the firecrackers in his hands that were almost deformed from being squeezed. "How many did you pick up?"
"One, one." Yan Jigang spread out his hands embarrassedly.
"I picked up two!" Liu Weibin was not as shy as him and immediately started to show off his treasures.
"Really? You guys are amazing." Yan Xue smiled and praised them all before asking her brother, "I'll buy you another set tomorrow. How about you and Wei Bin play together?"
"Really?" Liu Weibin's eyes lit up.
This is not something you can play with at any time. His family only buys him two strings of small firecrackers during the Chinese New Year and lets him take them apart and set them off one by one.
Yan Jigang showed some hesitation, but Yan Xue rubbed his head and said, "It's okay. This is a reward for our brave Jigang."
Yan Jigang couldn't help laughing now, and he looked at Liu Weibin and said, "I'll give you half."
Just after he finished speaking, his brother-in-law touched his head and said, "Brother-in-law will buy you one too."
The couple did not disturb the children from playing. They said a few words and left. Along the way, Yan Xue's lips were always slightly raised.
She has fair skin, but her lips are not pale, but pink and smooth, which always makes people want to touch them to see if she has applied something.
Qi Fang thought so and did so after entering the house. He rubbed her lower lip with the tip of his thumb and rubbed the plump area.
"What's wrong?" Yan Xue thought that her mouth was not wiped clean, so she wiped it with the back of her finger.
"Don't move." Qi Fang simply lifted her chin and wiped it seriously, making her lips even redder, then he lowered his head and pecked her unexpectedly.
Yan Xue finally reacted and pushed him, "We're still in the yard, are you drunk?"
Qi Fang said nothing, and took a few steps back following her force. He looked at her with his peach blossom eyes before turning back into the house, "Grandma."
He went directly to the second old lady's room, "Yan Xue and I have another drink tonight, so I might be back late."
In a flash, Yan Xue suddenly understood why he agreed to Liu Weiguo so readily.
As expected, the second old lady had already said considerately: "Then you guys go about your business, don't rush back. If it doesn't work out, just let Jigang sleep in my room."
She couldn't help but pinch the man's lower back, but he calmly caught her hand and pinched it.
Qi Fang was not as restrained in drinking as he was at noon. Soon his handsome face turned slightly red and two buttons on his collar were undone.
When it was opened, the collarbone, which was also stained with red, was faintly visible, which immediately attracted Yan Xue's attention.
But being vague actually means that you can't see clearly. Yan Xue suspected that the man did it on purpose, but she was still a little distracted and drank a lot of wine without realizing it.
After all, they were newlyweds, so it was impossible to disturb them for too long. As soon as it got dark, the group dispersed. However, Qi Fang did not rush back. He asked Yan Xue, "Let's go for a walk by the river?"
Yan Xue clearly knew what his purpose was, but she didn't object or expose him. Her long eyelashes flickered, "It's a good time to sober up."
The two people who knew the truth but pretended to be ignorant walked towards the river in the night breeze and under the cover of darkness.
The riverside at night was even quieter than during the day, as if all the noise had faded away. The evening breeze blew along the river, blowing away the slight smell of alcohol, but it couldn't dispel the vague ambiguity that was rising.
After a while, Qi Fang touched Yan Xue's arm with the back of his hand, "Are you cold?"
Not sure if it was an illusion, but even the back of Yan Xue's hand felt a little hot. "It's only the 10th of August, how can it be cold?"
After they finished speaking, they were both silent for a while, just like their wedding night.
But it was different from their wedding night. At that time, they were not familiar with each other and could not even find a topic to talk about. But now, whatever they talked about seemed to have a different meaning.
So the two of them simply stopped talking and walked quietly along the river until several houses not far away began to turn off their lights.
As if by tacit understanding, they both slowed down their pace, looked up at each other, and spoke at the same time—
"Go back."
"go back?"
When they looked at each other, one pair of eyes was round and bright, the other pair of eyes was dark and deep, which made Yan Xue laugh for a moment, "Let's go back, your feet will be sore if you keep walking."
"Yeah." Qi Fang looked at her curved eyebrows, then at her feet, "I'll massage them for you when we get home."
Yan Xue really wanted to ask, "Is the way you rub it proper?" But in the end she said nothing.
When the two of them returned, they both stood at the gate of the courtyard. After making sure that the lights inside were off, they went in with a bit of a smile on their faces.
This time the second old lady did not come out to greet them. She just opened the door a little, told them that Yan Jigang had already fallen asleep, and then closed it again, asking them to wash up and go to bed early.
For fear of disturbing the grandparents and grandchildren, the two simply took the basin to the yard, washed themselves, poured out the water, and then went back into the house.
As the light cord was pulled with a "click", a familiar and clear sound of the lock closing was heard behind him.
In the suddenly lit warm yellow light, the man still maintained the leisurely pace he had when washing up, and first put the bedding on the kang.
But then he turned around and put his hands on the buttons of his short-sleeved shirt.
Yan Xue's gaze unconsciously fell over, watching the long fingers unbuttoning the buttons one by one, revealing the cold white skin underneath that was still tinged with red.
But his expression was still cold, only his peach blossom eyes showed a little warmth, just like everything under the shirt, which was gradually unfolding in front of Yan Xue.
Soon the hem of the shirt was pulled out from the tight waistband, revealing a tight waist. Yan Xue was about to take a closer look when her vision was suddenly blocked by the man's shirt covering it.
Why can’t we watch this at this critical moment?
Yan Xue was about to lift it up, but the man had already lifted up his shirt and lowered his head to cover both of them.
The next second, her face was held in her hands, and the kiss that had been brewing all night came as promised.
