Chapter 128: Looking at Men
Afterwards, Tang Mei came to the table to eat. Lu Miao asked Tang Mei to rest for two days in advance and go to school together tomorrow.
The sports day is different from regular classes, it is lively everywhere.
You can go join in the fun and just take a walk.
I usually stay at home working all the time. I am so busy that I am exhausted and have no energy or hope at all.
"I...I won't go."
Tang Mei glanced at Lu Yuanzheng and shook her head to refuse.
There is nothing Lu Miao doesn't understand. The real confirmation power lies in Lu Yuanzheng's hands.
"Dad, can my aunt go?"
Lu Miao frowned. What he said was a statement, not a question.
Lu Miao was actually very dissatisfied.
Not having a real husband-wife relationship means not treating the person as your wife.
They spend their youth and time to help you raise your children, take care of the housework, and keep everything tidy. Aren't these considered contributions?
What's wrong with taking a day off?
How about going to school?
It's not something shameful or a person to be seen.
Lu Miao puffed up his face, obviously unhappy.
"Go, let's go together tomorrow, okay?"
Lu Yuanzheng sighed and said:
"Look at you two, you're all so unhappy and sullen before I even say anything."
"Dad, don't be so busy all the time. Pay more attention to your health and take a rest occasionally."
Lu Yuanzheng might be in high spirits, so Lu Miao took the opportunity to politely point out to him:
"I heard that everything in the Temple of Heaven Park is free. Don't you have a car at home? Why don't you take your aunt out for a walk when you have time?"
"Okay, okay, whatever my daughter says is what it is, okay? Okay, okay, let's eat, eat, eat first!"
Lu Yuanzheng's attitude was pretty good, so Lu Miao decided to stop and didn't continue to talk about this matter.
It is already autumn, but the weather is still hot.
The next day, Lu Miao got up early and helped Tang Mei prepare breakfast. Then he and Tang Mei spread out the quilts and sheets in the yard to dry them.
After breakfast, the family of three got on the car and headed for the Beijing North Military Region School.
The university tends to have modern two to four-story teaching buildings, but the entrance to the university is a retro style with tall red pillars and glazed tiles.
There were comrades in uniform standing guard at the door. When they saw Lu Yuanzheng's car, they straightened their backs, saluted, and let him pass.
It was only nine o'clock in the morning, but the school had already started mobilizing.
The playground is a large flat open space with faint green or yellow grass on the ground.
The surrounding area is decorated with circles of arcs using white lime, and numbers such as 1, 2, 3, and 4 are written and drawn, which is the runway.
The vacant space in the middle is divided into more small areas, such as the sand pit for long jump, the high jump area with a jumping pole and sponge mats, the shot put area with small colorful flags, and so on.
One activity playground basically covers all track and field events.
There are also other sports competitions such as basketball, football, volleyball, etc., which are all held in other places on campus.
The 1970s was actually a rather conservative era.
Passing by the playground, Tang Mei covered her eyes out of embarrassment when she saw some female students in the competition area wearing shorts with their thighs exposed while running up to practice long jump.
"No, this is not good... What's so good about this? Let's go somewhere else!"
Tang Mei felt embarrassed and was too ashamed to watch, so she pulled Lu Miao aside.
Lu Miao was amused by her, "Aunt, it's nothing."
Considering the context of the time, it was indeed a bit exaggerated that the female students on the playground were wearing so little.
But as time goes by, people's clothing style changes, colors become brighter, and fabric requirements are no longer so conservative and demanding. This is normal and inevitable.
"School crowds are the most educated and have the most advanced ideas. Does it seem exaggerated now? After a while, who knows, the streets might all be like this."
Tang Mei sighed, "You don't understand. Even if the world opens up, the shackles on women are still hard to break free from. Listen to your aunt, we won't be like them. Let's go somewhere else!"
Tang Mei's conservative thinking was deeply rooted and could not be easily persuaded, so she simply stopped talking.
When the subsequent era truly changes, the masses will follow the tide of the times.
At that time, the obstacles in Tang Mei's heart will naturally be relieved gradually...
Lu Miao sighed helplessly. He himself was not very interested in the sports meet.
Tang Mei was not used to it, so she thought about just taking a look around and going back.
Unexpectedly, before she could say anything, Tang Mei pulled her and took small steps all the way to the basketball court.
A group of men and boys are warming up for the basketball game.
"Girls are looked at by men, and girls look at men in return."
“……?”
yes!
A young girl was doing long jump with her thighs exposed, and many gay men were watching her to see what was happening.
But this area is full of shirtless men playing basketball. After a quick look around, there is no girl anywhere.
"Aunt, let's go!"
Lu Miao was so embarrassed that he frowned and scratched his head.
For a moment, I didn't know whether to say she was conservative or Tang Mei was conservative.
There were only a few male students watching on the sidelines, and almost no girls.
Military schools not only accept regular students, but also students sent from some units for literacy training.
Their ages range from young children to uncles in their thirties and forties.
Lu Miao followed Tang Mei and stood at the edge. Tang Mei pointed at this and that from time to time and asked her if she was okay.
It felt like standing out from the crowd, extremely prominent and awkward.
After trying several times to pull Tang Mei away without success, Lu Miao wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Lu Miao felt that she was very conspicuous, and indeed she was. Such a pretty girl had been noticed by the men playing basketball on the court early on.
At first they just glanced sideways, but later they saw Lu Miao's ears turned slightly red, and everyone in the field exchanged glances, just like a peacock spreading its tail, some showing off its skills, some showing off its muscles.
A group of rough men are not afraid of being looked at by little girls, and even enjoy being looked at by little girls.
Some of the more courageous ones even took off their vests...
It’s okay to look at men, you can hide in the crowd and watch and appreciate together.
What's the point of someone standing here and watching openly?
Like a target, is she afraid that others don't know that she is "lustful"?
Watching the increasingly exaggerated "performance" in the venue, Lu Miao's face puffed up and turned completely red.
Even though I am open-minded, I still feel embarrassed.
"Aunt, I want to go back!"
Lu Miao stomped his feet and turned around in embarrassment.
"Hey Xiaobao, wait for your aunt."
Tang Mei felt embarrassed to stay any longer and followed her in a panic.
"Why do you want to go back so suddenly? The sports meet hasn't started yet. If you don't want to watch this, let's go watch the football and volleyball games."
"Even though the old men are a little ugly, can't we just ignore them? Look at the young men!"
