Chapter 155: Honey and Oil
Ding Guo didn't know when she fell asleep. She only remembered that after the last battle, her eyelids began to droop. In a daze, she could still feel Pei Che helping her clean her body. Then she went to meet Zhou Gong with peace of mind.
She woke up in the early morning due to the heat. Her back was pressed against a strong chest and an arm was around her slender waist. The places where their skin touched were sticky and covered with sweat.
"hot!"
Ding Guo grunted and struggled slightly to gain some distance.
The person behind her moved immediately and took a handkerchief to wipe her back.
After wiping the sweat off his back, Pei Che took a palm leaf fan and fanned her rhythmically, saying, "The power is out. It's still early. Sleep a little longer and I'll fan you."
Ding Guo closed his eyes and fell asleep again. When he opened his eyes again, it was already past eight in the morning.
There is nothing around me.
The wind blowing on my body was replaced by a fan. I don't know when the electricity came back.
Ding Guo sat up yawning. She felt a sharp pain in her lower body and couldn't help but take a deep breath.
He put on some cotton pajamas, opened the door and stuck his head out.
Pei Che was practicing boxing in the yard with his upper body naked, and his sweat was splashing on the ground.
Hearing the noise, Pei Che put away his fist, turned around and smiled gently, saying: "Don't you want to sleep for a while?"
Ding Guo covered his mouth and yawned, saying, "I'm not going to sleep anymore. I'm hungry."
"I went out this morning to buy meat patties and steamed dumplings, and also cooked some millet porridge. We can eat right away."
Ding Guo went to wash his face and brush his teeth. Pei Che also grabbed the towel in the basin beside him and wrung it dry. He casually wiped the sweat off his body and put breakfast into the house.
Ding Guo was extremely satisfied with the meat patties, steamed dumplings, and a pile of pickled vegetables.
"I need to take a shower later."
Pei Che swallowed the porridge in his mouth and said, "I boiled a large pot of water. You can wash it after you finish eating."
Ding Guo smiled with his eyes curved.
The man I love so much is so thoughtful and considerate.
"Yes, this is the right attitude towards life. Keep it up!" Ding Guo said with a smile.
After dinner, they both took a quick shower, changed into fresh clothes, and rode out on their bicycles. Pei Che tied a cotton pad to the back seat of the bicycle, so it was not uncomfortable to sit on it.
Pei Che didn't wear a full set of military uniform, but a white shirt and army green pants.
Ding Guo was wearing that two-piece dress. Her hair, which was not completely dry, was left loose for a while, and she would tie it up after it dried naturally.
Before leaving, I went next door.
Dayong has gotten up, but he is still feeling a little depressed.
Pei Che's uncle's cousin Shao Wangfei was picking green dates to eat.
"It's tasteless now. You can pick them in autumn when the dates are ripe." Ding Guo said with a smile.
"Cousin!" Shao Wangfei spat out the date pit in his mouth and greeted Ding Guo and Pei Che with a smile.
Ding Guo left the things that Dayong was asked to take back, asked him what time the bus left, reminded him to be careful on the road, and entrusted Shao Wangfei with a few words and said a few polite words.
The two of them came out and prepared to go to Yu's house first.
Yu Shaofen has morning and afternoon shifts today. She was at the Public Security Bureau’s staff quarters in the morning.
The two bought some gifts along the way, and when they were about to reach the police station's staff quarters, they happened to run into Pan Dingfeng, who looked tired.
Because his mother-in-law was in the hospital and his wife was still in confinement, Pan Dingfeng had no choice but to take leave to run back and forth between the hospital and home. He had just returned from the hospital and was preparing to go home to cook for Ding Nianjun.
"Brother Che, sister-in-law...sister-in-law!"
Pan Dingfeng still felt uncomfortable even though he called Ding Guo "sister-in-law".
But he couldn't take care of it. The call didn't go through last night, so Gao Jiaye went back to check on Pei's family and knocked on the door, but no one was home.
Pan Dingfeng belatedly remembered that Pei Che had a yard outside.
But he didn't know the exact location of the yard.
He didn't care about the embarrassment when they happened to meet at this time. He wanted to tell Ding Guo about Yue Hongmei's hospitalization. Although the hospital said that Yue Hongmei could be discharged if there was no major problem after another day of observation, he could use this matter to talk to Ding Guo and Pei Che, and it was not so deliberate, so he would certainly not let go of this topic.
My mother/mother-in-law is in the hospital, so Ding Guo or Pei Che must have a few questions, right?
With this involvement, it will be easier to talk when we meet next time.
"Um, sister-in-law, our mother is in the hospital."
Pei Che propped one leg on the ground, said nothing, and looked at Pan Dingfeng quietly.
Ding Guo also sat steadily in the back seat, with no intention of getting out, and raised his eyebrows: "So?"
Pan Dingfeng choked and looked at Ding Guo in confusion.
So, as your mother's biological daughter, don't you care a bit?
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Pei Che stepped on the pedal to leave. Pan Dingfeng quickly came back to his senses and said to Ding Guo a little nervously: "Sister-in-law, if you have time, why don't you go to the hospital to see our mother?"
Does he have to ask for your permission?
Okay, please go ahead. He thought about it all night last night. What does face matter? Even if his waist is bent, he has to be careful and slowly repair the relationship with Ding Guo.
In the future, don’t expect Brother Che to help them, just don’t suppress him.
We’ll talk about the rest later.
All things are difficult at the beginning, but when you really say it, it doesn’t seem that difficult.
After saying that, he looked at Ding Guo.
I have made my words so clearly, Ding Guo should not refuse, right?
After all, she is her biological mother!
Ding Guo looked at Pan Dingfeng with amusement: "During the Spring Festival, I came to Aunt Yu's house to pay New Year's greetings, and I ran into our adopted daughter. She was crying and shouting to recognize her biological mother. Pan Dingfeng, do you know about this? Does Yue Hongmei know about it? Aren't you worried that I will tell Yue Hongmei about this?"
Pan Dingfeng looked a little unnatural.
Ding Guo sneered: "There are some things I will only emphasize once, listen carefully: you don't need to bother to match me with Yue Hongmei, and whether she stays in the hospital or not has nothing to do with me. This is just this time, and it won't happen again!"
After saying that, he patted Pei Che's waist. Pei Che glanced at Pan Dingfeng indifferently and said, "You are too idle!"
The two men rode away on their bikes, and Pan Dingfeng broke out in a cold sweat and his scalp felt tingling.
I didn't expect Ding Guo to hate her own mother so much. Her own mother was in the hospital, but she was so cold-hearted. It's no wonder that my mother-in-law often said that this aunt was an ungrateful person.
But no matter what, his abacus beads hit the wrong person!
Ding Guo checked the backstage and found that Pan Dingfeng was rolling very smoothly, not surprisingly.
In fact, her backstage has been very active since last night, with her cheap parents taking turns jumping around, and Ding Nianjun and Pan Dingfeng also working at high speed.
According to Haozi, even in the late night, the names of Yue Hongmei, Ding Nianjun and Pan Dingfeng would pop up from time to time.
Don't they sleep?
Probably because I couldn’t sleep!
As long as I'm awake, I generate income for her, and I'm quite diligent in doing so.
Haozi did some statistics and found that from the time Pan Dingfeng saw Ding Guo in the guesthouse yesterday until this morning, the family had been working at an ultra-high speed and had created an internal consumption value of nearly 20,000.
It was indeed a major event that made Yue Hongmei faint and be hospitalized.
It's a pity that this record will probably be hard to break.
When Mr. Yu and Mrs. Yu saw Ding Guo and Pei Che coming in, they smiled happily.
Old Madam Yu held Ding Guo with her left hand and Pei Che with her right hand, staring at them with all her eyes: "How come these two children are so good-looking?"
Pei Che felt a little embarrassed.
Ding Guo already had experience, so he calmly accepted the old lady's praise.
Yu Shaofen brought them some iced soda and cut some watermelon, and asked them to eat and drink. She then asked Ding Guo, "When are you going back to Fengning?"
Ding Guo took a sip of soda and said, "The train tomorrow night."
Yu Shaofen suggested in a low voice: "If you don't want to join the army, why not transfer to the capital."
If Ding Guo is willing to be transferred to the capital, not to mention the Pei family, she can make some moves on her side and it won't be a problem for Ding Guo to work in the cannery.
Ding Guo is not opposed to changing her work environment, but she does not plan to be a worker for the rest of her life, and she is too lazy to bother with it before the resumption of the college entrance examination.
If you really want to go through so much trouble, you might as well join the army.
Anyway, I went to the food factory to separate my household registration from the Ding family.
But she did not completely reject Yu Shaofen's kindness and just said she would think about it again.
Mr. Yu was talking to Pei Che nearby: "Is your old man doing well?"
Pei Che smiled and said, "Thanks to you, everything is fine. Are you and Grandma Yu doing well?"
Old man Yu nodded with a smile: "I am old, but I am still okay."
Ding Guo interrupted with a smile: "You two look much better than during the Chinese New Year."
The old lady laughed and said, "I've been taking medicine, and it's better than in previous years. Last year, your grandfather Yu and I both had fistulas, hahaha."
After saying that, he laughed heartily.
The others laughed too, and the atmosphere was very joyful.
As he still had to visit other relatives, Ding Guo declined the Yu family's invitation to keep him for dinner. After sitting for about half an hour, he stood up and said goodbye.
"Guoguo, remember to write to me when you return to Fengning." Yu Shaofen reminded.
"I understand, Aunt Yu." Ding Guo sat on the back seat of the bicycle and waved at her with a smile.
After leaving the Public Security Bureau's family compound, Pei Che rode his bike straight to the nearest supply and marketing cooperative, bought some things, and went to the next one. He asked, "Guoguo, do you want to work in the capital?"
This guy was chatting with Grandpa Yu, but he was also paying attention to what she was saying to Aunt Yu.
Ding Guo smiled and said, "Let's talk about it at the end of the year."
She gently poked Pei Che's lower back and said, "Hey, if I quit my job and join the army, would you think I don't make money?"
Pei Che freed one hand and grabbed Ding Guo's restless little hand behind his back, saying, "I wish you could go with the army so I could see my wife every day. It doesn't matter whether you make money or not. How could I dislike you for not making money? It's up to you whether you work or not. Anyway, you have the final say in everything in our family."
Ding Guo raised the corner of his mouth and pushed his big hand forward: "Ride well!"
"Understood!" Pei Che smiled and withdrew his hand, holding the handlebars steadily, and pedaled the bike with high spirits, as if he had endless energy.
After visiting Uncle Huang and Uncle Song's homes, it was already 3:30 in the afternoon when I returned to their own home.
"Go catch up on some sleep, we'll be back at the compound around five."
Ding Guo also felt a little sleepy. She didn't get enough sleep last night and didn't have a chance to catch up on sleep in the space during the day. When Pei Che suggested it, she couldn't help yawning, wiped her face, went back to the room, changed into cotton pajamas, and lay down.
Not long after, Pei Che came in, adjusted the fan, lay down next to Ding Guo, and pulled the person over with one hand.
"It's hot!" Ding Guo protested.
Pei Che held her arm for a few seconds before reluctantly letting her go. He leaned over and kissed her on the face, saying softly, "Go to sleep!"
He was a little disappointed why it wasn't winter.
Just thinking about how wonderful it feels to hug my soft wife in the warm bed.
In the evening, they returned to the compound and had dinner with the old man. The old man asked about their schedule for tomorrow and how many days of vacation Pei Che had left.
Thinking of the short vacation time left, Pei Che couldn't eat the steamed bun in his hand anymore.
Why did you bring up his vacation? It's so annoying!
The best way to relieve your annoyance is to make trouble for most of the night.
Ding Guo closed her eyes to express her dissatisfaction: "Your vacation is still a week away. Do you plan to do this every night? I won't accompany you."
My waist is so sore.
Pei Che wiped the sweat off her body and said softly, "Don't do this tomorrow night."
Ding Guo rolled his eyes. He thought that the conditions would also be met on the train tomorrow night.
When Ding Guo woke up the next morning, he had two bruises under his eyes.
She was so angry that she wanted to divorce her husband and chased Pei Che and punched him.
Since she came into this world, she had never been sleep deprived, but after getting married, she became sleep deprived.
Pei Che let her vent her anger and coaxed her in a good-tempered manner: "Wife, I was wrong..."
The two were making a fuss when a car horn was heard at the door.
Ding Guo quickly stopped laughing and playing, and went back to the house to tidy up his messy hair.
Xiao He brought the bike over and left on Pei Che's bike.
"Shall we drive there ourselves?" Ding Guo was very surprised that she could catch up on her sleep in the car.
Pei Che nodded and said with a smile: "We are short on time, so it would be more convenient to drive."
Pei Che's maternal grandparents' home is in Langfang. If it were in later times, it wouldn't take too long on the road, but at this time the road conditions were bad and the car couldn't speed up, so it would probably take a while on the road.
The two closed the door, picked up their things, and drove off.
