He wanted to kiss her sleeping face.
With her prickly appearance, he could only kiss her secretly.
Besides, if we don't get close now, who knows when we'll be able to... What if I really can't win her over and someone else does?
Thinking about it this way, he regretted agreeing to the divorce. If they didn't divorce, she would always be his, at least she would be by his side. If they divorced, she could choose any man she wanted.
But confidence quickly gave way to panic, and he said: Don't worry, there is no woman that I, Wei Mingshen, can't pursue, unless she is the goddess Nuwa.
Suddenly, Su Xueli's hand reached out from under the covers again, and she slapped him across the face with the back of her hand.
Wei Mingshen gave a wry smile, gently took her hand, and put it back under the covers.
In this way, his guilt about wanting to steal a kiss from her disappeared. "She hit me, so I'll just kiss her."
Without a moment's hesitation, he lowered his head and kissed her cheek, then quickly turned around, squatted down, picked up the scissors, and began cutting the thatch with a "snip, snip" sound.
He heard his heart pounding like a drum...
"Mmm!" Su Xueli woke up, yawning and stretching comfortably.
Then, still half-asleep, he asked Wei Mingshen, "What time is it?"
Wei Mingshen kept his head down and didn't look at her. "It's almost two o'clock."
She sat up abruptly and complained to him, "Why didn't you wake me up sooner?"
He said, "What's the rush? The Civil Affairs Bureau isn't going anywhere."
She muttered, "Isn't it because I'm afraid of long queues?"
Wei Mingshen said, "Don't worry, there won't be many divorces. Sometimes there isn't even one couple a year."
Su Xueli suddenly realized: Right, right, this isn't the future, where divorce offices are more crowded than marriage registration offices. This is the 1980s, and far too many couples would rather die than get a divorce.
She wasn't in a hurry anymore. She put on her coat, got out of bed, and said, "Let's get ready to go. I'm going to the bathroom."
As soon as she stepped out, Wei Ming let out a long sigh and slumped onto the stool.
He thought to himself smugly: "Even if you're as cunning as a devil, you still have to drink my foot bath water. You didn't even know I stole a kiss from you, huh!"
When Su Xueli came out of the toilet, Cao Maizi came in from outside. When he saw her, he said, "Xueli, I just went to your third grandmother's house to borrow a shoe pattern. Your third grandmother's son wrote a letter to his wife. Neither of them can read, so they want to find someone to take a look."
But her daughter-in-law is a woman, and it was a letter from her husband, so she's embarrassed to show it to him. She wants you to come over and give it to Niannian. Are you free right now? She's waiting anxiously."
Su Xueli almost laughed when she heard the name of this silly woman. This woman was just as bad as herself in her past life.
Her name is Sun Honghua. She is beautiful and has an uncle who is an official in the city. Her current husband was attracted to her looks and her powerful connections. He married Sun Honghua after he was admitted to a junior college.
Sure enough, thanks to his connection with Uncle Sun Honghua, he got a job in the provincial capital. He was also very shrewd and knew how to get things done, so he rose through the ranks in the past few years and is now a leader in his unit.
At first, he treated Sun Honghua quite well and came back quite often, three to five times a year. During holidays, he would stay at home for a few days and buy good food and clothes from the provincial capital for Sun Honghua and the children, which made the women and children in the village very envious.
Sun Honghua was so happy that she would brag to everyone she met about how good her husband was and how lucky she was. She even said that although she was illiterate, she had found a cultured man who was also an official.
