Time passed, and the day came when we set off for Beihai River.
On the day of departure, Ping An, who couldn't wait any longer, left with Zhou Xiaozheng and his wife. Zhou Jiao and her husband were left behind, planning to go with their friends later.
In the hot summer, they were the only two people in the yard.
Zhang Guoqing couldn't stop smiling the whole day, busy serving his wife, and finally lived in the world of two that he had longed for day and night.
After a drizzle, Wan Dayong had dinner and slowly strolled towards Zhou's house.
I stood at the gate and took pictures for a long time before I heard the sound of Zhang Guoqing opening the door.
"Why do you keep the door locked all day?"
After saying this, he looked at Zhang Guoqing suspiciously.
"What can I do? I'm just taking a shower." Zhang Guoqing looked behind him, "Why are you alone? Where are Datou and the others?"
Wan Dayong sighed and cursed, "They've all gone to their grandma's house. We'll see what they bring back later. Do you think Dayi was so engrossed in his play that he forgot to come back?"
"No, his mother still has to go to work."
"It's so boring to stay at home with nothing to do all day."
Zhang Guoqing rolled his eyes at him in anger. He had nothing to do but bothered me. What a wicked fellow!
"Come in first, there are a lot of mosquitoes outside."
Wan Dayong shook his head, winked and whispered, "No, I have to find a girl. You continue to take a shower..."
Zhang Guoqing heard this and kicked him, "What are you thinking? Stop destroying the young plants."
Wan Dayong jumped aside and said, "I am the young one. Okay, since you can't dance with others, I'm leaving. We'll get together again tomorrow night when they come back."
Zhang Guoqing watched him walk away with a smile and shook his head. It was strange, how could the company hold a dance when everyone was starving?
Zhou Jiao saw him come in and opened her eyes, "Why did you leave?"
"Going to pick up girls."
Speaking of this, Zhang Guoqing thought of something and suddenly became overjoyed.
Throwing himself on the bed and holding his wife in his arms, he chuckled softly and said, "Let me tell you a funny story."
"Some time ago, after watching an open-air movie at a factory, the children were sent home first. What did the adults who stayed behind do? They just danced.
There happened to be a lot of people in the factory, so they kept dancing. At first, everyone formed a circle and danced together. Later, they gradually started to dance in pairs.
In the summer, people wear less and hug each other. When it gets dark, some anxious men don't bother to find a place. They just hug the woman and lift her skirt in a remote dark place and go for it.
Someone must have noticed something was amiss, and perhaps those who had jumped off to the far side of the road along with him also had some similar thoughts. Everyone was determined not to point it out.
For a moment, except for the bright area in the middle where some people were dancing seriously, there were several men hugging women in the dark areas.
At this time, a woman felt something was wrong. She felt like there was an extra hand on her body. At that critical moment, she did not think much about it.
After finishing the job, she turned around and saw in the darkness that there was movement not far from the firewood pile. She immediately understood. It must be that man who took advantage of her.
This woman was also very fierce. She moved forward silently and suddenly screamed at the couple who were still trying hard. Now that was the end.
The noise was so loud that even the dancers in the distance heard it. They thought something had happened and all ran towards this place. This was a big deal. Those who had not finished or had just finished all ran away even further.
Oh, someone shone a flashlight on the ground and saw all kinds of underwear. I heard that the first thing many men did when they got home that day was to check if their wives were missing any underwear..."
Zhou Jiao's mouth dropped open as she heard this. Then she thought, this idiot must have made this up to lie to her. How could there be so many women who don't love themselves? She rolled her eyes at him, "Bullshit!"
Zhang Guoqing chuckled, "I'm not lying to you. I heard that factory never dared to hold any entertainment activities again after that day. Especially dancing. No one dared to mention it."
"Rumors are just that. The more they spread, the further they become from the truth. If that were the case, they would have punished many people long ago. Why didn't they report it?"
Seeing her expression of disapproval, Zhang Guoqing thought to himself that his wife was truly naive. Who wouldn't let this matter get out if it didn't get rotten? He still listened to the suggestion of an acquaintance who was involved at the time.
These things are not surprising.
When the men were together, they would always hear things like how much cornmeal he had used to sleep with so many women. Many of them knew about the girl from their class who went to the city every week.
Zhou Jiao looked at him suspiciously. "Who told you this? Young man, be careful when making friends. Don't let yourself be led into trouble. You must be able to withstand the test."
Zhang Guoqing laughed. "Am I that kind of person? I've seen all kinds of temptations before. Jiaojiao, I've remained chaste for you. Shouldn't you repay me well?"
Zhou Jiao patted him and said, "After all this trouble, the purpose is here. Early to bed and early to rise makes you healthy. If you can't sleep, recite the Heart Sutra."
The couple spoke disgusting and cheesy words, and did not forget to entangle with each other. The moon blushed with shame and secretly hid in the clouds.
The next day, Zhang Guoqing slept until noon and was awakened by a shouting outside. He patted his wife who was about to wake up in a daze.
"It's those brats again. You go back to sleep, I'll go entertain them."
"Oh, lock the door."
Is there any need to say that? He doesn't want his wife's charm to be seen by outsiders.
Zhang Guoqing didn't bother to put on his clothes. He opened the window, responded loudly outside, helped his wife put on her nightgown, touched her regretfully again, and cursed these bad boys who disturbed his wife's good deeds.
Wan Dayong and several others were standing outside the door, carrying plates and other things. They looked at Zhang Guoqing who opened the door in surprise, "You didn't just get up, did you?"
"Dude, do you know what time it is? I'm back from the north of the city."
Zhang Guoqing shook his head. "Stop talking. It was too hot last night, and I didn't sleep well until the early hours. I'm going to go wash up first. You guys go into the living room."
"Go ahead. I should really take a picture of you doing this honor and show it to my old man at home. You know, getting up early every day to exercise."
After washing up, Zhang Guoqing went to the living room and saw several people already drinking.
"It's not even dinner time yet, and you're already drinking? Why don't you go get some food and drinks from the kitchen?"
As they were talking, a plate of bacon slices, which had not been stir-fried with any vegetables, was gone with just a few chopsticks, leaving only a lunch box of stewed beans.
"We don't know where it is. We just thought you had some in stock. Give me some dried fish to satisfy my craving. By the way, do you still have the wine from last time?"
"Sometime, go get some snails and ask Zhou Jiao to stir-fry them. The taste is unforgettable once you try it."
Zhang Guoqing looked at these greedy people speechlessly, then went to the kitchen and brought out a small bag of spicy dried fish. Although these fish were small, they tasted very delicious. He would catch a few and nibble on them whenever he had nothing to do.
I recall the days when I used to sneak up to the mountains with my wife every day. Those days were so leisurely and full of beautiful and happy memories.
