Chapter 95
Xing Fei followed Bi Chunliu and watched his brother-in-law and sister-in-law leave. Bi Chunliu turned and went back to the house, and Xing Fei silently locked the door behind him.
Covering his mouth with a fist, Xing Fei coughed, "Chunliu, I'll go prepare some water so we can take a bath later?" It wasn't cold yet, so the bathroom at home could still be used. They would go to the bathhouse when it got cold.
Bi Chunliu stared at the red tips of Xing Fei's ears, feeling a little embarrassed, and said in a concealing manner: "Well, you go ahead, I'll count the money I collected so that I can keep accounts." What's the point of getting married without counting the money!
"Okay, my comrades have sent me money. The account book is in the drawer. You can take it directly." After getting the response, Xing Fei went to the kitchen to boil water. All kinds of thoughts were running through his mind. He was nervous and expectant. His heart was pounding, making him uneasy.
Bi Chunliu took out the red envelopes he had received and wrote them down one by one. Xing Fei poured the boiled water into the hot water tank in the bathroom, went back to the room to get clothes, and took a shower first so that the bathroom would still be hot when he came out.
After a while, Xing Fei came back to the room steaming hot. Bi Chunliu glanced at him and quickly took her pajamas to the bathroom.
After taking a shower and washing her hair, Bi Chunliu returned to the room, drying her hair. Xiaojun brought her some hairspray from her classmate's collection. She applied a little bit and felt that her hair was hard all over.
Xing Fei was half lying on the bed reading a book. He didn't know what he was reading. He didn't turn a page for a long time. When he saw Chun Liu come in, he turned a page in a panic. He couldn't help but curse himself in his heart, "What a pretentious person!"
Bi Chunliu's hair was not thick, so it dried quickly even without a hair dryer. When she touched her hair, it was already half dry. She sat on the bed and leaned over to see what Xing Fei was looking at.
Bi Chunliu looked at Xing Fei, who was looking straight ahead, with a look of confusion but respect, and retracted her head from him. She didn't want to study high school math on her wedding night...
The unique fragrance of a woman lingered at the tip of his nose and then quickly disappeared. Xing Fei's heart was in a mess, so he simply stopped pretending, threw the book on the table, and wiped his wife's hair.
Bi Chunliu lay sideways, resting her head on Xing Fei's legs, closing her eyes and enjoying the feeling of being served. She said, "What time do you go to Dad's tomorrow morning?"
"Let's talk about it after we get up. Dad got up early today and must be very tired. Let's go out for dinner as a family tomorrow?" Xing Fei carefully wiped the long hair in his hands.
Bi Chunliu's eyes lit up and he knelt up, "Okay, call Dad and Xiaomei, let's go take a family photo!"
Xing Fei laughed out loud. He realized that Chun Liu really liked taking pictures. "Okay, Dad will definitely be happy."
"That's for sure. Take three photos and I'll pay for them!" Bi Chunliu said generously.
Xing Fei threw the towel on the back of the chair and squeezed Bi Chunliu's hand, "What a generosity!"
"That's right!" Bi Chunliu puffed out his chest proudly.
The two of them looked at each other and laughed foolishly, and as they laughed, their lips touched.
In October, there was already some coolness between morning and evening, but in that small bedroom, the heat was still steaming, and there were low groans and heavy breathing. It was not until the moon was high in the sky that the door was opened. The shirtless man took the kettle that he had forgotten in the kitchen back to the room. When he turned around and went back to the room, a few ambiguous red marks could be vaguely seen on his back.
.
At nine o'clock the next day, Bi Chunliu opened her eyes in a daze. She was the only one in the bed. She reached out and touched the bed on the other side. The bed was no longer warm. It seemed that Xing Fei had been up for a while.
She sat up and prepared to change her clothes. As soon as her feet touched the ground, she felt her legs swollen and uncomfortable. Her mind involuntarily thought of everything that happened last night, and her face turned red.
After changing clothes, Bi Chunliu went to the kitchen and smelled the smell, praising: "It smells so good!"
Xing Fei turned around and heard Bi Chunliu's words, and smiled, "You're up? The meal will be ready soon. There's water in the kettle. Go wash your face and brush your teeth first."
"Okay." Bi Chunliu responded and walked out of the kitchen.
Tsk, this guy looks serious, but he's actually quite reserved. Yesterday in bed, he called her Chunliu, then "sister," then "wife." Before she went to sleep, she thought of a question that had been bothering her for a long time and asked him why he always liked to call her "sister."
At first, Xing Fei was a little embarrassed, but after Bi Chunliu's repeated questioning, he embarrassedly said that he had a comrade-in-arms. In his comrade's hometown, men called their wives "sisters." They had originally thought that his comrade-in-arms and his sister were very close and corresponded every month. Later, they found out that he was not a sister, but a "sister in law"!
After Bi Chunliu finished washing up, Xing Fei had already brought the prepared food to the table. He cooked porridge and steamed egg custard, and the dishes were heated up leftovers from yesterday.
After dinner, the two went to Han Zhong’s house.
When the two men arrived, Han Zhong was standing in the yard chatting with Han Kemei. Han Kemei saw his brother and sister-in-law coming, so he asked them to go into the house quickly.
Bi Chunliu had already received the money from Han Zhong for changing her statement yesterday. Although kneeling down to serve tea was not a big deal now, she still followed Han Kemei to the kitchen to serve tea, and then bowed to Han Zhong, at least as a gesture.
After drinking the tea offered by his daughter-in-law, Han Zhong smiled happily.
When Xing Fei mentioned that he was taking the whole family out for dinner and taking photos at a photo studio, Han Zhong was even happier, thinking that his family hadn't taken a family photo in many years.
Han Zhong: "Take a couple more pictures when the time comes! I'll show them to Lao Wang and the others, too."
Xing Fei: "Chun Liu said she would pay for it. We will take three photos, hang one at home, hang one at our place, and she will prepare an album to store the remaining one."
Han Zhong glanced at Xing Fei. It was not just that he couldn't get married on his own, and he even asked his wife to pay for the family photo. "I'll pay. Let's take the family photo and then each of us take a solo photo!"
Han Kemei: "I think it's fine! Sister-in-law, let's go to my room and tidy up. I'm going to change clothes and wash my face." Then she turned to Han Zhong and said, "Dad, you should also change clothes. Do you want me to trim your eyebrows or something?"
In front of his daughter-in-law, Han Zhong was too embarrassed to scold his daughter for her mischief, so he just told her to go away and deal with herself.
Bi Chunliu followed Han Kemei to her room. Han Kemei's room was similar to Bi Chunliu and Xing Fei's, with a bed, a wardrobe, and a desk. On the desk was a family photo of Han Kemei when she was little. In the photo, Han Kemei was still a chubby baby, held in her mother's arms, facing the camera. A young Xing Fei sat on Han Zhong's lap, his back straight, his face tense, his hands resting on his lap, looking quite well-behaved.
Han Kemei found a white shirt and green army pants from the closet, put them on, and saw her looking at the family photo. He recalled: "This should have been taken not long after my brother came to my house. After my mother passed away, the three of us didn't have many opportunities to take family photos. When I was young, my father said that he originally brought my brother to our house to enjoy a good life, but I didn't expect that he would end up taking care of me."
Han Kemei had no impression of her mother, but she thought that at least she still had her father, while her sister-in-law had lost both parents. She quietly slapped her mouth and changed the subject: "Sister-in-law, do you want to trim your eyebrows?" After that, she took out her eyebrow trimmer from the drawer and prepared to trim her eyebrows.
Bi Chunliu: !! With such a big blade, she was afraid that she would accidentally shave off her eyebrows.
Han Kemei trimmed her eyebrows, washed her face, applied vanishing cream, and took out her treasured lipstick and quietly applied it. "Sister-in-law, are you going to apply it? Don't put this on too thick, it will turn you red."
Bi Chunliu forgot to put on lipstick before coming, so she took Han Kemei's lipstick and applied a little on herself to improve her complexion a little.
After the family packed up, they went back to the couple's home first. Bi Chunliu was worried that Wei Guo and the others had already gone to look for her, so she just waited there until the door was opened.
Fortunately, they hadn't left yet. Xing Fei rushed to the slum to find Wei Guo and the others, while Bi Chunliu followed Han Zhong and Han Kemei to the state-owned restaurant to order food.
As soon as Han Zhong entered the state-owned restaurant, the waiter greeted him, "Uncle Han, you came at the right time today. Our chef Han made braised beef."
"Really?! That's a coincidence, I'm in luck."
A fat chef with a limp on his right foot came out from the kitchen, smiling like a Maitreya Buddha, and said, "I knew you had a sharp nose, old man."
Han Kemei followed Bi Chunliu and whispered to her, "The chef of this restaurant knows my dad. They are from the same village."
Bi Chunliu nodded. They were childhood friends! But she didn't seem to have seen this person yesterday.
After Han Zhong exchanged pleasantries with the chef, he introduced Bi Chunliu: "Xiao Bi, this is your uncle Erzhu. Erzhuzi, this is my daughter-in-law."
Han Erzhu greeted her with a smile, "Niece-in-law, come find me if you want something to eat. I didn't go to your wedding with Xiaobao yesterday because my son and daughter-in-law were not at home, and my grandson was sick, and his grandmother couldn't take care of two children alone."
Bi Chunliu called out "Uncle Erzhu" and replied with a smile, "It's okay. The child's illness is the most important thing. Xing Fei and I know how you feel."
Han Erzhu knew what dishes the family had ordered, so he went to the kitchen to cook for them himself. The three of them chatted for a while, and then Xing Fei came over with Bi Weiguo and the other two.
Bi Chunliu remembered the nickname that Han Erzhu had just called Xing Fei, but she did not call it out in front of her father-in-law and her younger brothers and sisters.
After dinner, the group strolled to the photo studio, took photos, and then strolled to the park. They didn’t go home until four in the afternoon.
.
Bi Chunliu quickly adapted to married life. Her daytime routine was still the same as before. Of course, if Xing Fei was not busy, she would also work overtime at night.
She deeply regretted calling Xing Fei by his nickname. Why did she call him Xiaobao and even excited him? Young people who had just started having sex couldn't stand being teased!
While Xing Fei was on a business trip, she finally had some time to rest.
Her three younger brothers and sisters moved in after she returned home. They would go for a walk after get off work and school. Bi Chunliu hadn't been back to the compound for several days. In the morning, she told Wei Guo and the other two that she would go back to the compound for dinner tonight, and then went to work.
Hou Zhiqiang contacted her at work yesterday, saying that the chili sauce she had made for his wife was all gone, and asked her to make two more bottles. Bi Chunliu didn't expect that the five people in her family couldn't eat as much as Wu Sanmei alone, and she was worried that Wu Sanmei would get angry. After hearing her words, Hou Zhiqiang was also embarrassed because his wife couldn't eat anything without chili sauce.
Bi Chunliu had no experience with pregnancy, so she just asked him to take Wu Sanmei to ask a doctor. She was worried that the first thing the baby would say after birth would be "It's so spicy!"
Hou Zhiqiang thought so and said he would take his wife to the hospital the next day.
After work that afternoon, Bi Chunliu returned to the compound and found Uncle Qi, who had been out of the hospital for two days, cooking. It was a strange thought. Ever since Qi Chao got married, he had always been the master who waited for Qing to enjoy the good life. He had never thought that he would have to cook for himself one day.
When Aunt Zhang saw Bi Chunliu coming back, she looked at Qi Dashan curiously and said, "Chunliu, are you back? Are you here to see Uncle Qi? Deng Hong is pregnant and is vomiting and can't get up. Your brother Qi Chao is taking care of her."
Bi Chunliu understood that Grandpa Qi was thinking about having a new grandson soon, and he had found someone to rely on.
