Ding-ling-ling——
Accompanied by the clear sound of a bicycle bell, a postman in a green uniform appeared outside the gate of Courtyard No. 9.
"Comrade Ye Li, there is a letter for you."
"Here it comes, here it comes!" Ye Li trotted out of the house and saw the postman standing in the yard waiting for her with a letter in his hand.
"Here is your letter, please sign for it."
Ye Li signed, received the letter, tore open the envelope on the spot and read the contents of the letter.
When she returned to the house, her face was full of smiles.
Jiang Xun was tired of drawing, so he put down his pen and was about to take a break when he saw Ye Li coming back with a happy face: "Whose letter is it?"
"A letter from my hometown. Remember what I told you about collecting herbs?"
...
...
"Remember. Looks like there's news."
"Yes." Ye Li spread out the letter and placed it in front of Jiang Xun's desk. "It seems that Gensheng has made quite a harvest. He wrote to remind me to pick up the goods."
Jiang Xun looked at the address and asked, "So far? How do you get there?"
"I'll take a bus." Ye Li calculated, "If everything goes well, I can go there and come back the same day. It just so happens that I don't have to go to work tomorrow, so I can take the early bus and come back by the late bus!"
"Let me go with you." Jiang Xun was worried about letting Ye Li go alone. The journey was long and the sky was high. She was a woman, what if she got bullied?
"No, just read your books at home and design your drawings. Didn't the factory say they would give you a month? Half a month has already passed in the blink of an eye. If you delay any further, I'm afraid you won't be able to finish it!"
"No." Jiang Xun said confidently, "This is just an improvement, not a new product design, so it's easier. Besides, I already have an idea in my head. I'll go with you for a day this time, and I'll just take it as a chance to relax!"
"No, no, you can't go."
"Why? You don't want me to go?" Jiang Xun frowned slightly.
"I don't want you to." Ye Li said bluntly, "Your legs and feet are not convenient, it's not convenient for me to take you with me! You'd better stay at home obediently."
Jiang Xun pursed his lips and said, "Do you dislike your man?"
Seeing his aggrieved and unhappy expression, Ye Li felt helpless.
She hugged his neck from behind, and laid her whole body on his back: "I don't mind! I treasure my man! But Jiang Xun...you have to listen to me about this matter. The weather is so hot, it's not convenient to take a car back and forth! I know you are worried about me, and I am worried about you too! Don't worry, Lu Ning will accompany me when I go to the countryside to collect herbs!"
"Lu Ning?" Jiang Xun turned around and his eyes were entangled with hers.
"Yes. He is a buyer in a Chinese medicine factory!"
"Male or female?" Jiang Xun asked.
Ye Li: "Male."
Jiang Xun curled his lips: "It's even more worrying for a man."
"Hey, what are you worried about..." Ye Li shook Jiang Xun's body and said to him coquettishly in a pinched voice, "Do you not trust me? Or do you not have confidence in yourself? The Jiang Xun I know is not such a person!"
The air suddenly became quiet for two seconds.
Jiang Xun remained silent and did not say anything.
Ye Li thought he disagreed and felt a little worried.
In this day and age, it is indeed less acceptable for a woman like her to go out alone with a man, and it is also easy for people to gossip about her.
If Jiang Xun didn't want to, she could understand.
"Li Li." Jiang Xun spoke slowly.
"Um?"
He raised his arm and pointed to the erect hairs: "Look, I have goose bumps all over my body."
Seeing this, Ye Li sneered.
"Promise me."
"What?"
"Promise me that you won't use this tone to talk to any man other than me." Jiang Xun said in a low voice, "No man can stand this tone."
Ye Li smiled: "I won't say anything. But it's not as exaggerated as you say, right?"
"Not an exaggeration at all!" Jiang Xun held Ye Li's hand with his big hand and moved it down along his chest, waist and abdomen.
Ye Li's face also turned redder and redder; "Is it... because of me?"
Jiang Xun narrowed his eyes, and his burning gaze fell on Ye Li's face: "What else?"
Ye Li's heart began to beat wildly as he felt uneasy at the look in his eyes.
"Li Li." Jiang Xun's throat slid up and down twice, and he warned in a deep voice, "I'm worried about you going out with Lu Ning. Ask Qin Ying if she has time? Ask her to go with you!"
"Qin Ying can accompany me once, twice, but not every time..."
"No matter. Just accompany me this time first." Jiang Xun said.
Ye Li stared into his black pupils, feeling as if she was being sucked in: "Jiang Xun, I have never noticed you before, how could you be so domineering?"
"I'm not being overbearing. I'm just worried about you. Li Li, be obedient and let Qin Ying go with you!"
His voice was low and hoarse, revealing a firmness that would not tolerate any interference.
Ye Li knew what he was thinking and nodded slightly, agreeing.
"Good boy Lili." Jiang Xun was satisfied. He held the back of her head with his big hands and pressed his hot lips against hers.
The two kissed passionately, and his big hand slid up along her slender waistline.
She could feel the trembling of his rough palm sliding across her skin, and couldn't help but make a slight sound and gently closed her eyes.
His kiss spread from the corner of her lips, down to her snow-white neck and collarbone...
Ye Li tilted his head back slightly, opened his lips slightly, closed his eyes lightly, and let out a long sigh...
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law." Wang Sha's voice came from outside the window.
Ye Li opened his eyes, and they seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, which was a little blurry and had not yet dissipated: "Wang Sha is calling me."
Jiang Xun let her go.
His slender fingers deftly gathered her open shirt slightly, quickly buttoned it for her, and pecked her lips gently: "Go."
Ye Li came out of the house and saw Wang Sha standing under her own eaves, waving at her vigorously.
"What's the matter? Tell me."
Wang Sha said, "Sister-in-law, Jiang Rui told me that the mall has received a batch of beautiful dresses. Shall we go shopping tomorrow?"
"Unfortunately, I have something to do tomorrow. Please ask someone else to go."
Wang Sha was a little disappointed, and asked quickly: "Sister-in-law, do you have cloth coupons?"
Ye Li shook his head: "Not recently."
"Oh, never mind."
After closing the door, Ye Li said to Jiang Xun, "It's okay. Wang Sha wants me to go with her to buy a dress! I won't go!"
Jiang Xun saw that she was still wearing a short-sleeved shirt and long pants, and he had never seen her wear a skirt for a day.
She didn't even seem to have a skirt.
"Um."
"I'm leaving early tomorrow morning. You can go with mom to eat for a day. By the way, don't forget to watch out for the person who threw dead rats at our doorstep!" Ye Li warned.
"Don't worry about the things at home. The man who left the dead rat hasn't made any moves recently... It won't be too late to catch him when he does."
"Okay. Then you go do your thing. I'll go see if Qin Ying is here and ask her to go with me to collect herbs tomorrow."
…
The next day, Ye Li got up early and made an appointment with Qin Ying to go to the station to wait for Lu Ning.
Jiang Xun is still busy with his own design at home. After so much thinking, he has already had an idea. If all goes well, his improved design can be produced next week.
Zhao Xingmei was cooking in the kitchen, with her youngest son Jiang Xi helping her. The mother and son were whispering to each other, and no one knew what they were discussing.
