Zhao Dahu took Wei Shuqing to a bathhouse, where they had her scrubbed and thoroughly cleaned. Then the two returned to Wei Shuqing's residence and turned on the sealed coal stove.
Zhao Dahu asked, "Are you hungry?" Wei Shuqing shook her head. Zhao Dahu went to the cabinet and took out a can of hawthorn and a can of beef, then took two spoons and said, "Have some, we still have to do some heavy work later."
After saying that, he gave a lewd laugh, and Wei Shuqing blushed and scolded, "You're so indecent!"
Zhao Dahu picked out the best meat for Wei Shuqing, saying as he handed it to her, "I saw you didn't eat much of the canned meat! You can eat this without worry. Old Wu from the cannery is my apprentice, we grew up together like kids. No one can shortchange me on this stuff."
After Wei Shuqing and Zhao Dahu finished eating, the kettle on the stove was boiled. After filling the thermos, the two rinsed their mouths. Zhao Dahu then embraced Wei Shuqing and walked to the bed. They sat on the bed, so nervous that they could hear each other's breathing. Everything happened naturally, yet it was so sudden and passionate. The room was filled with a soft groan. Zhao Dahu, still wanting more, turned over and lay down, pulling the blanket over them both.
Wei Shuqing was panting heavily, her whole body ached and she didn't even want to move her fingers. At this moment, Zhao Dahu suddenly remembered something, took out a few deposit slips from his pocket and gave them to Wei Shuqing, saying, "This is our family's savings, you keep it."
Wei Shuqing happily agreed, and when she took the money, she saw that there was a total of 2,800 yuan. She couldn't help but exclaim, "Dahu, how do you have so much money?"
Zhao Dahu stroked Wei Shuqing's smooth and delicate shoulder with his fingertips and said, "I don't have many expenses. I eat and drink at the factory. When I go home on holidays, my parents take care of me. I've saved up my wages over the years. Sometimes I go out and do some side jobs. That's how I've gradually saved up this much."
Wei Shuqing nodded shyly and said, "I haven't saved much money. I heard that the harvest was bad this year, so I've stocked up on grain."
Zhao Dahu said with a heavy expression, "It's not good. I'm afraid there will be a famine. But your parents have stored up a lot of food, so you don't have to worry about going hungry."
As she spoke, she turned over and touched her soft breasts with her other hand, tentatively saying, "Shuqing, I want to transfer to the steel factory's canteen."
Wei Shuqing was taken aback and turned to look at him. Zhao Dahu said, "I had already left a long time ago, but the matter with you wasn't settled. I told them that I would go there after the New Year. I'll be a Level 4 graduate and earn 48.5 yuan a month."
Wei Shuqing nodded and said, "Okay, then you can go over there!"
Zhao Dahu pulled her closer, rested his head on her shoulder, and said, "I don't want to be separated from you. Come transfer with me!"
Wei Shuqing hesitated for a moment and said, "I started working in this factory..."
Zhao Dahu said, "No, I don't care. You're coming with me. I'm telling you, the food in the steel mill's canteen is much better. You'll eat plenty of oily food, but your salary might be ten yuan less!"
Wei Shuqing exclaimed urgently, "No, I..."
Zhao Dahu rolled over and pinned him down, whispering, "But my salary is high! Doesn't that make up for it? If you work for me, I'll pick out the easy jobs for you, and no one will dare to bully you..."
With her brain momentarily deprived of oxygen, and her mind clouded by Zhao Dahu's influence, she finally agreed after pleading. By the time it was over, Wei Shuqing was already fast asleep, while Zhao Dahu hummed a little tune with a satisfied expression.
He got up and cleaned his private parts, wiping Wei Shuqing clean as well. Wei Shuqing felt much drowsy and, with a satisfied smile, turned over and continued to sleep.
He got up to check the house, thought for a moment, and stewed some cabbage and tofu. He also opened a can of meat, poured out a can of hawthorn, and cooked a pot of mixed rice. It was already seven o'clock when it got dark. Wei Shuqing didn't get up until after she got dressed. She yawned, feeling completely drained. She gave Zhao Dahu a coquettish look, and he smiled indifferently. Then he served her rice, and she finally experienced what it felt like to be taken care of.
This feeling was warm inside and out, so warm it made me want to cry. Zhao Dahu picked up a piece of cabbage for her and said, "Eat some cabbage. Cabbage can detoxify and cleanse your stomach."
Wei Shuqing recalled the two years she was married to Qi Zhijun. Her salary was handed over to Qi's parents for unified management. The old couple would secretly give the good food to Qi Zhifang and her three children, leaving themselves only two yuan a month. They still had to find ways to buy something good for Qi Zhijun to eat, but he didn't appreciate it at all.
She was secretly glad she left, having dragged that hellhole into it so early. She and Zhao Dahu had a happy meal, and Zhao Dahu left the leftovers outside without worrying about them spoiling. The two of them then went back to sleep.
During this time, Zhao Aiguo, pampered by his parents, became exceptionally cheerful and lively, and his plump figure became increasingly endearing. He was so happy he didn't want to go home at all. Wei Shuqing had to go to the Zhao family to see him, and every time she returned, she would bring him food and gifts.
After taking their annual leave, the two went back to the factory, got their certificates, and went to work at the steel plant. Zhao Aiguo was directly appointed as a level four chef and head chef. Wei Shuqing, however, happened to be assigned to the Women's Federation because of a shortage of staff. She had a junior high school diploma and was considered a good family. Of course, this was also because of Zhao Aiguo. The salary was 31, and Zhao Aiguo agreed immediately. Afterwards, he bought some things and delivered them to the factory director's house to express his gratitude.
Wei Shuqing officially began her administrative career. That day, she got up, sat in front of the dressing mirror, applied perfume, tied her hair into a low ponytail with a handkerchief, and looked at herself in the mirror. Her fair skin and gentle eyes were a far cry from her previous sallow and withered appearance with bitterness and resentment in her eyes.
Outside, Zhao Dahu shouted, "Shuqing, hurry up, we're going to be late!"
"Hey! Coming, coming!" she said hurriedly, then sat on the back of Zhao Dahu's bicycle and headed to the factory. Life was quite stable and happy.
The Women's Federation wasn't too busy at the beginning of the year. There wasn't much to do all morning. Sister Li and Sister Zhang, who worked in the office, didn't eat at the office. Wei Shuqing went to the canteen by herself. Zhao Dahu saw his wife from afar at the food window and quickly waved to her. When Wei Shuqing went over, Zhao Dahu handed her two lunch boxes and said, "Go and grab a seat first. I'll go over after I finish this bowl."
