Gao Qing got up early as he was worried about something.
She took out an electric iron from the cupboard and knocked on her son's door.
The door was quickly opened from the inside.
Gao Qing picked up the thing in her hand and was about to say something when she found that her son was wearing a white shirt that was ironed perfectly.
She paused, and suddenly felt that she had gotten up so early in vain.
When I turned around and prepared to go back to sleep, I became curious: "What did you use to iron your clothes?"
Fortunately, before she went to bed last night, she remembered that the shirt would be wrinkled if it was placed in the closet, so she thought of showing her motherly heart and got up early to help her son iron his clothes.
I didn't expect that he could tidy it up so well.
It's only five o'clock in the morning, isn't it? His beard is neatly trimmed.
Young man. Tsk tsk tsk. Gao Qing's eyes swept over her son again.
Don't mention it, this skill is better than hers.
Thinking of the difficult process of ironing clothes last night and then looking at the electric iron in his mother's hand, Shao Zheng was speechless.
He didn't answer, but asked: "Mom, why didn't you tell me yesterday that you had this thing?"
Gao Qing saw that her son was talking about something else, and she still didn't understand: "Did you use a teacup to scald it?"
Shao Zheng Gao Qing almost laughed out loud: "Really?"
Shao Zheng: "Alright, alright, stop looking at me. Mom is old, have you forgotten?"
It was at this time that the mother admitted that she was old. Unable to argue, Shao Zheng frowned and wanted to close the door.
Gao Qing didn't let him go, but asked curiously: "How many times did you run downstairs to boil water yesterday to iron the clothes so neatly?"
The door slammed shut in response to her.
Gao Qing: “Haha.”
Listening to his mother's laughter outside the door, Shao Zheng was angry for a while, then he found it funny and shook his head.
I was so excited yesterday that I ran up and down the stairs carrying hot water.
I was also worried about disturbing others, so I tiptoed the whole time.
I worked back and forth for more than two hours.
I didn't feel it at the time, but as soon as I thought that Yu Yu would stop and look at him a few more times because he was wearing a white shirt, I felt full of energy.
Now that I have calmed down, I realize how stupid this behavior was.
= It is said that spring is like a monkey, with weather changing at any time. In Chen Nongmo's opinion, early autumn in September is no different.
It was pouring rain yesterday, but today the sky is clear again, which is a perfect weather for boating on the lake.
Knowing his sister's destination today, Chen Jun refused and turned around to follow Commander Shao to experience life in the army. Anyway, he was relieved to leave his sister to Brother Shao Zheng.
Seeing that Fourth Brother was as carefree as a happy Husky, Chen Nongmo suddenly felt sad.
This kid won’t be sold in the future, and will still count money for people, right?
"What's wrong?" When Shao Zheng came out of the kitchen carrying his bag, he saw the little girl staring in a daze towards the door.
Chen Nongmo shook his head: "Nothing, shall we go?"
"good."
"How many days of vacation does Brother Shao Zheng have left?" After the car drove out, Chen Nongmo spoke to break the somewhat uncomfortable atmosphere between the two.
Shao Zheng dodged the tabby cat that suddenly jumped out, released the clutch, and replied: "Two more weeks."
Chen Nongmo followed the swift white tabby cat until it safely hid in the bushes again. He then smiled and retracted his gaze: "Then after I and Fourth Brother leave, you still have time to spend more time with your family."
Upon hearing this, Shao Zheng's expression did not change, because he had already prepared himself mentally: "According to the time, your parents should have news in the next two days. Do you plan to go directly to City N?"
Chen Nongmo shook his head: "I do want to go, but I don't know if my parents agree."
It is now 1973, and there are still more than three years until the end of this political storm. She is happy that her parents have been rehabilitated ahead of time, but she is also worried that there will be more changes.
With my father's shrewdness, he should be aware of the instability involved.
Therefore, if she wanted to stay with them all year round, it would be unlikely in the next few years.
Shao Zheng always knew that the little girl was smart and insightful. When the two of them were together, he often had the illusion that he was interacting with someone of the same age.
He thought that this was the biggest reason why he fell in love so quickly at first sight.
Now listening to her somewhat vague words, I feel that the little girl is even more intelligent.
But he didn't know how to comfort people in this situation, and finally just expressed his opinion: "Don't worry too much, it will be dawn soon."
= J City is surrounded by water on three sides, and there are many places for boating.
After driving for more than twenty minutes, we arrived at a scenic spot.
It’s early September, school has already started, and today is not Sunday.
Chen Nongmo originally thought that there wouldn't be many people there, but when he arrived at the ticket booth by the lake to buy a ticket, he discovered that there were quite a lot of people, and most of them were young men and women.
"Yuyu, go this way." After Shao Zheng bought the boat ticket, he turned around and found that the little girl was standing opposite the entrance.
As he walked towards the man, Chen Nongmo realized belatedly that his memory seemed to have skipped a period of time.
In her impression, even if a boat is not used for lake cruise, it should be in the shape of a duck, where people can sit in the boat and just pedal.
But who would have imagined that the boats we have now are the oldest small wooden boats, the kind with manual oars.
"Don't like it? If you don't like it, let's change to another one?" While waiting in line to get on the boat, Yu Yu didn't look happy, so Shao Zheng suggested changing places.
Chen Nongmo shook his head and raised his hand to smooth away the hair that had blown onto his cheeks: "It's not that I don't like it, it's mainly because I don't know how to row a boat."
Shao Zheng raised his eyebrows: "Really not disliking it?"
“I really don’t dislike it.”
The man lowered his narrow and beautiful eyes and stared at the girl's face for several circles. After making sure that she didn't show any reluctance, he smiled and said, "You don't have to row, I can do it."
At this time, the uncle who was in charge of releasing the boat shouted.
The two of them looked forward together and found that there was only one group of people left in front of them.
They were also a young couple, both with red cheeks and uncomfortable expressions, and it was obvious at first glance that they were on a date.
Only because Chen Nongmo was living in the present time did he realize that many records of later generations were too one-sided.
For example, when it comes to dating, as long as it's not too out of line, dating is not uncommon at all. In fact, the general environment encourages progressive young people to fall in love freely.
Of course, it's okay to date someone, but people like Octopus who cheat on their girlfriends will still go to jail.
Chen Nongmo stared at the uncle who was arranging the release of the boat. He saw that he helped the man onto the boat first, and then turned around to help the female comrade.
After understanding the boarding procedure, she consciously moved behind the man.
When it was their turn, the tanned uncle who was boating the boat didn't have time to lend a hand to help them, Shao Zheng took a long step and stood steadily on the boat.
Then he turned around and spread his big hands towards the little girl.
It was a very common action, but at this moment, it seemed to have some special meaning.
Chen Nongmo looked up at the person in a daze.
The man was tall and slender, standing there with his back to the light. He didn't rush anyone, but just waited quietly with his hands spread out.
It might be a bit of an exaggeration to say that she was as beautiful as a god, but this action did disrupt the rhythm of her heartbeat, and her neck to the back of her ears began to heat up.
But... She lowered her long eyelashes, and when her eyes met the man's big hand again, she pursed her lips, and finally followed her heart, forced herself to remain calm and placed her hand in his palm.
The man was very fair, with cold white skin, but when their hands touched each other, Chen Nongmo saw that he was obviously several shades fairer than the other. In addition to being thrilled, he also felt inexplicably happy, thinking that he had won this time. How childish.
And the moment the little girl's jade-like hand fell into his palm, Shao Zheng subconsciously closed it.
Without moving an eyebrow, he carefully helped the person sit down, then immediately let go and sat opposite him.
The boat was small, and Chen Nongmo, who was 166cm tall, didn't feel constrained, but a man who was 188cm tall had trouble stretching his legs.
At this time, Chen Nongmo was glad that he wore pants for the convenience of traveling.
She moved her legs to the left, trying to make some space so that Shao Zheng's legs could be more comfortable.
But the fact is, the boat is too small, and her sideways movement not only did not free the man's long legs much, but made her body awkward.
It was physically awkward, and she suspected that her waist would cramp after a while.
Moreover, during the adjustment, their knees inevitably touched each other several times.
Let’s not talk about whether it’s embarrassing or not.
The most important thing at the moment is that, after her unremitting efforts, the small boat began to shake and was in danger of capsizing at any time.
Chen Nongmo's swimming skills were average. The best he could do was to bury himself in the water, hold his breath, and flap his arms for a few times. He would then raise his neck to breathe and sink. He really didn't want to fall into the water.
The uncle standing by was obviously used to it, and he gave a skilled instruction: "Comrade, please sit in the middle, yes, this will help you be more balanced. Comrade, please spread your legs a little further, yes, comrade, please put your legs between the comrade's legs."
As the uncle finished speaking, the two men, whose heads were about to smoke, finally adjusted their sitting posture stiffly.
My legs are free, but it's also more embarrassing.
Chen Nongmo had never been so shy before.
Without looking in the mirror, she knew that her whole body was red at the moment. She tried to keep a straight face and tried to make herself calm: "Uncle, why don't they sit like this."
She was talking about the couple in front.
If she had known this would happen, she and Brother Shao Zheng would never have boarded the ship.
Now, what happened is that they originally traveled for their own amusement, but now they are entertaining everyone. Don’t think she didn’t hear the people queuing on the shore laughing at them.
The dark-faced uncle smiled with his big white teeth and said in a loud voice, "Your boyfriend is tall. Big guys all sit like this. The guy you mentioned only reaches your boyfriend's armpits, right? There's no need for this posture."
As he spoke, he pointed to a man not far away who was rowing hard but was spinning in circles.
These words are not only hurtful, but also extremely insulting.
Chen Nongmo didn't expect the uncle to speak so rudely. He didn't dare to look at the couple not far away, let alone explain that they were not a couple.
The man was well-mannered and smiled back, "That's right, but being small also has its advantages, like right now."
When these words were spoken, some people burst into laughter, while others looked at the young man as if he were a fool.
The uncle was the same, his dark face was full of disappointment.
Chen Nongmo hated himself for understanding what the uncle didn't say, and was also afraid that he would say something horrifying again, so he was about to urge Brother Shao Zheng to leave quickly.
I saw the man opposite me preparing to stand up.
Her eyelashes trembled, and she suddenly understood what he wanted to do.
Unexpectedly, the uncle used the pole to hold the boat against the water, and before the two people could react, he skillfully pushed the boat and the people into the lake.
The boat was swaying slowly. Chen Nongmo and Shao Zheng on the boat looked at each other, not knowing how to react.
After a while, they heard the uncle shouting again and pushed out another small boat, and they came back to their senses.
Shao Zheng gripped the oars tightly, frowned and explained: "I rowed a boat when I was in elementary school, and I forgot that my legs couldn't be used. Sorry, I'll pull over now, let's go somewhere else."
It was true that he wanted to get along well with Yu Yu, but he never thought of doing it in this way.
When Chen Nongmo saw Brother Shao Zheng getting ready to get up, he had already guessed what he was planning, so he was not surprised to hear his suggestion.
In fact, if they were just ordinary friends, she wouldn't be so embarrassed, and she has never been a shy person.
But the other person met her aesthetic standards in every aspect and was an extremely outstanding member of the opposite sex whom she had a good impression of.
Blushing and flustered, emotions that she once thought were far away from her, were now completely out of her control.
".No need, now that we're here, let's play for a while." Finally, Chen Nongmo heard himself say this.
Hearing this, Shao Zheng tightened his grip on the wood paddle and looked at the man steadily: "Not forcing it?"
".It's not forced." After the words fell, Chen Nongmo stopped looking at the man opposite him. He turned his head to look at the sparkling water. Thinking of the embarrassing thing that just happened, he slowly raised the corners of his mouth with amusement.
What she didn't know was that the mirror-clear water surface completely recorded her smile.
Shao Zheng stared at his reflection in the water, and suddenly he lowered his head and laughed, his voice was low and sweet, and very pleasant to hear.
When the little girl looked at him curiously, he didn't say anything, but just curled his lips and rowed towards the center of the lake.
He was not very skilled at first, but he soon mastered the technique.
By the time the boat drifted to the center of the lake, the sun was gradually rising.
"There are drinks in the bag." Shao Zheng's face was still slightly red, but this time it was from rowing.
Chen Nongmo looked at the big green bag that had been placed at his feet.
"I'm not good at moving. You're light, so take it yourself."
After listening to Brother Shao Zheng's analysis, Chen Nongmo, who had not thought much about it, subconsciously slowed down his movements.
He let out a sigh of relief only after slowly placing the package on his legs.
Then, she said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "This boat is too dangerous."
As she spoke, she had already opened the package.
The equipment for going out was all prepared by Brother Shao Zheng. She then discovered that in addition to drinks, there was also a set of clean clothes, which were for women.
Chen Nongmo took out a hat from inside and put it on his head and tied it, then asked: "What is this dress made of?"
Shao Zheng coughed uncomfortably and said, "I bought it at the Friendship Store. I thought it would suit you, but I never had the chance to give it to you. I'm going on a cruise today, so I prepared a replacement set for you in case something goes wrong."
How should I put it? She was definitely touched. This man had considered everything she hadn't even thought of.
But she might be too dirty. At this moment, she was more curious. If she really fell into the water, what would happen to her underwear?
"What's wrong? Don't you like the clothes?" Shao Zheng had been observing the little girl's reaction and always felt that her expression did not look happy at the moment.
"I like it. You have better taste than my elder brother." Thinking of his elder brother's aesthetic taste in bright red and green, Chen Nongmo felt that the small floral shirt and black suspender skirt in the bag were simply trendy.
Shao Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, glad that he listened to the salesperson's recommendation at the time: "So what were you thinking about just now?"
Of course, he couldn't tell his true thoughts, so Chen Nongmo put on a fairy face that looked otherworldly, smiled and coaxed people: "Brother, you look good in a white shirt. I'll make you two more next time."
"Oh, okay!" Shao Zheng's face turned red again, and at the same time he felt very satisfied.
Although he didn't fall into the water, he didn't show his muscles.
But Yu Yu said that I look good in a white shirt.
Last night's stupidity.
It seems worth it.
