Chapter 696 Sweet Potatoes and Potatoes



It was already past midnight when we finished our meal. There was nowhere left to stroll around in the small Wu County, and there wasn't enough time to go to the movies. Besides, there didn't seem to be any showings at the cinema at noon.

"If there's a chance next time, I'll take you to the movies."

"Okay!" Zhang Xuan agreed, holding a bundle of books and lowering his head.

The two walked back to Xingbei, and Zhang Xuan insisted on seeing Wan Feng off to the car.

There were still more than forty minutes before the bus departed, so the two sat on the benches in the bus station, drinking soda and chatting.

"What are you doing at home from now until school starts?" Zhang Xuan asked elegantly after taking a sip of soda.

"There's a lot to do. I can climb trees to rob bird nests, go fishing in the river, catch squirrels in the mountains, and steal pears and apricots. There's plenty to do."

"I'm being serious, you're talking nonsense."

"How can this be nonsense? This is all serious business, exactly what men of our age should dare to do. Okay, let's get serious. I'm going to my grandma's house during the summer vacation. I'll be there for about a month and won't be back until school starts."

"Where does your grandma live?"

"There's a county town called Hongya on the coast of Beiliao. The sea is more than 20 miles away from my grandmother's house. Are you interested in seeing the sea? I can take you there."

Zhang Xuan shook his head: "I want to! I have never left Wu County since I was a child, and I don't know what the sea looks like. But it's too far. Why are you going to your grandma's house?"

"My wife is over there, so of course I went to see her."

"Hahaha, you just talk nonsense. How old are you and you already have a wife? But you are so talkative, so getting married in the future won't be a problem."

There will be a future, but I already have a wife now.

"Actually, I think you're pretty good. In my eyes, you're like a potato that emerges from the mud without getting stained. How about becoming my wife in the future?"

Zhang Xuan laughed so hard that he leaned back on the chair.

"Haven't you seen that movie called What's It Called? Potato Potato, I'm a sweet potato. Potato Potato, I'm a sweet potato."

"You're the potato?"

"Ah, I'm a potato? Then you are the sweet potato, sweet potato, sweet potato, I am a potato, sweet potato, sweet potato, I am a potato."

Zhang Xuan leaned on the back of the chair and couldn't even straighten his back.

"Oh no, no, I can't laugh anymore! I ate too much just now, and if I laugh again, my intestines will break."

I did eat quite a lot just now, and I laughed a lot after the meal.

"Then I'll let you go this time and stop teasing you."

Zhang Xuan finally stopped laughing.

"You really want to go to your grandma's house, this is not nonsense, right?"

"Really? I'll go back and pack up. I'll be leaving in no more than three days. I have a factory over there, and I want to go take a look."

“You still have a factory?”

"A garment factory, where all the workers are women, are you interested in working there in the future?"

"I'm interested. I wonder how much you would pay me per month at this factory?" Zhang Xuan thought Wan Feng was joking, so he just followed Wan Feng's words and talked nonsense.

"You graduated in the summer of 1986. Prices and wages started to change at that time, with a substantial increase. Your salary should have been over 100 yuan. How about I offer you 250 yuan a month?"

"You are the idiot. You are insulting me."

"How is this an insult? Idiot! You really are worth an idiot!"

Zhang Xuan swung his schoolbag as if to hit him.

"Forget it, forget it. You probably don't believe me. My factory is called Fengfeng Garment Factory. When I come back, I'll bring you a few pieces of clothing made there. I'll let you see our products and you'll believe me. I wonder if you'll dare to accept them then?"

"Why not? If you dare to bring it back, I will accept it."

"Haha, it's a deal then."

The two chatted and laughed until it was time to leave.

"I'm leaving, and you should go home too."

Wan Feng and Zhang Xuan waved goodbye, checked their tickets and got on the bus. When the bus started, Wan Feng saw from the window that Zhang Xuan was still standing in the window of the bus station, staring at him, and waved at Wan Feng when he looked at her.

Sitting in the car, Wan Feng was a little worried. This matter seemed to be getting a little out of hand. What if this girl fell in love with him?

It is certain that she has a good impression of him now. With this foundation, it seems that it will not take long for her to fall in love with him. Should she keep a distance from him in the future?

It doesn't seem possible. What if this girl finds out that I don't fight her and turns into a female hooligan? Wouldn't all my efforts be in vain?

Oh my god, what should I do?

How do the guys with harems in those harem novels resolve conflicts?

How about tricking her into going to Wahou after graduation, and then letting her back out after she finds out about his relationship with Luan Feng?

This might be a bigger blow to her. It would seem that something is wrong with her to do that, as if she had fooled others for three years.

Oh! Saving lives is also a technical job.

Never mind, let’s talk about it after school starts.

After returning home, Wan Feng stayed at home for two days, packed up, said goodbye to his parents and set off again.

On the morning of July 15th, Wan Feng took a bus to Wuxian Bus Station again. When Wan Feng walked out of the ticket gate, he unexpectedly saw Zhang Xuan standing in the bus station.

"Huh? What are you doing here? Are you waiting for me?"

"Huh, who's waiting for you? I'm here to see the scenery."

"What nonsense! What scenery is there to see here? How did you know I was going to pass by here today?"

Zhang Xuan did not answer. After Wan Feng returned home that day, she went to the bus station for two consecutive mornings to wait for the bus from Sijitun to Wuxian.

"Didn't you say you'd be leaving in less than three days?"

Wan Feng was stunned for a moment: "You won't come here every day to wait for me these past two days, right?"

Zhang Xuan smiled but did not answer.

"Silly girl!"

"Who's the silly girl?" Zhang Xuan said coquettishly.

"You, who else could it be? Wait until I get the tickets."

Wan Feng went to the ticket office and bought a ticket to Longzhen for the 8:30 train. He then returned to the bench and continued chatting with Zhang Xuan.

"Have you read those books?"

"I have. My mother wouldn't let me watch it at night, so I watched it secretly in my little room. My eyes have become a little nearsighted."

Wan Feng was shocked: "Don't go out too late in the future, and don't wear glasses. I don't like women wearing glasses."

"What does it have to do with you if someone wears glasses?"

"That's not necessarily true. If the country allows you to marry two wives in the future, I'm planning to marry you as my second wife."

"roll!"

As the saying goes, the night is too short when you are having fun, and too long when you are lonely.

The two of them seemed to have barely exchanged a few words when they heard the loudspeaker in the bus station blare: "Dear passengers, the bus to Longzhen will depart at 8:30. Please bring your belongings and tickets to Gate 1 to check in and board the bus..."

Wan Feng stood up with his backpack on his back: "Okay, I'm leaving now, don't miss me!"

"Who misses you?"

"Don't think about me during the day, but don't dream about me at night. And don't come into my dreams either."

Zhang Xuan was confused by what he said.

"Zhang Xuan! Goodbye!"

Wan Feng walked backwards to the ticket gate, then turned around to check his ticket and get on the train.
