◎Five+Six◎
The large courtyard was quiet. Many people had already gone to bed. The Xu family was also very quiet. Even the most naughty Xu Shengwei had fallen asleep.
After finishing his work, Xu Shengjie stood in the room, looking at Liang Baozhen who had just woken up and looked lazy. Suddenly, he felt a little awkward, not knowing where to put his hands and feet.
However, the next second, her eyes changed again.
Avoiding my gaze, my eyes drifted to who knows where.
"Go to bed." Xu Shengjie tried his best to make his voice sound more natural. "It's uncomfortable to sleep on your stomach."
"Yeah." Liang Baozhen answered in a voice as soft as a mosquito. She glanced at the bright red quilt, which was very festive. It was bought specially for the wedding.
She took off her coat and lay down on the bed, but the comfort of the cotton fabric did not ease her tension.
This has to happen sometimes, Liang Baozhen comforted herself.
When Xu Shengjie lay down, the left half of the bed sank a little, and his clear breath also enveloped the world.
The kerosene lamp went out, and the room fell into darkness. The newlyweds were speechless for a moment.
The only sound was the heavy breathing of the two people.
Liang Baozhen's mind was in a mess. She was thinking about what happened at today's wedding, and then she thought about her dreams. She raised her eyelids and looked quietly to the upper left, just in time to meet Xu Shengjie's gaze.
Their eyes met, entangled in the darkness.
"you..."
Just after she uttered a sound, Liang Baozhen felt someone touch the back of her left hand, brushing it gently, as if it was accidental but also intentional.
Soon, the man gently held Liang Baozhen's left hand, turned his head sideways, and gradually leaned down...
With her hand being held, Liang Baozhen was so nervous that she didn't dare to move her fingers. In the confusion, her fingers brushed against Xu Shengjie's palm and touched the slightly rough coil.
Xu Shengjie clenched his hands and gently stroked the back of the woman's hand. He moved his head closer and closer. His breathing became heavier, his mouth became dry, and he felt hot and uncomfortable.
The faint fragrance continued to fill his nostrils, tempting him to look for a clear spring below...
The moment their lips touched, Liang Baozhen felt the man's body stiffen for a moment, then she realized that he was as nervous as she was, and inexplicably felt relieved.
However, two seconds later, Xu Shengjie was picking at the red lips, breathing entangledly, searching for the secret recipe to quench his thirst, as if he had learned it by nature.
"Hmm~"
A moan finally reminded Xu Shengjie, and the man quietly moved away, allowing Liang Baozhen to breathe smoothly. Before she could even take a breath, she went down again without any delay.
......
The night was long, Liang Baozhen held Xu Shengjie's arms with both hands, enduring the attacks of the wind and rain. When the wind calmed down, she was gasping for breath and could hardly close her eyes.
Xu Shengjie's throat rolled, and he stayed close to Liang Baozhen for a while, lingering on her red lips, and only stopped after the woman slapped him.
He held the person in his arms, closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
——
When the sky brightened, Liang Baozhen woke up and didn't know where she was for a moment.
The memories came flooding back, especially the soreness in my waist that turned my face red.
There was no one on the bed next to him, and there was some noise outside the room, as if Zhou Yun was talking.
After getting dressed and opening the door, the sunlight from outside shone directly in, a little blinding. Liang Baozhen stretched out her hand to block it, and Xu Shengjie's voice rang in her ears.
"Are you up? Are you tired? Eat something before going to sleep."
Liang Baozhen looked at Zhou Yun and the two children not far away, and immediately glared at the man. What is he talking about? !
Are you tired?
After hurriedly greeting the people in the room, Liang Baozhen slipped outside to brush her teeth and wash her face. However, she felt a little uncomfortable walking, so she slowed down her pace a lot.
Xu Shengjie felt a little confused when he saw the threatening look from his wife. He thought that Liang Baozhen must be very tired as they were busy preparing for the wedding from morning till night yesterday. Was there something he said wrong?
——
Xu Shengjie got up at around six o'clock and went to the entrance of the alley to buy breakfast today. It consisted of eight steamed buns, which were the delicious steamed buns he mentioned to Liang Baozhen yesterday.
I made the corn porridge this morning, added a handful of millet, and served it with a bowl of salted vegetables.
"Baozhen, try this steamed bun. It tastes great. These kids all love it." Zhou Yun introduced it to his grandson's wife enthusiastically.
The pastry chef makes good dough, and the steamed buns are soft and fluffy with a sweet aftertaste.
"It's delicious. The more you eat it, the more delicious it becomes." The more you chew the steamed bun, the sweeter it tastes.
During breakfast, Liang Baozhen chatted and laughed with Zhou Yun, and asked about her younger brothers and sisters' schooling.
Xu Shengwei and Xu Shengya were both studying at the National Cotton Mill Affiliated Middle School in the city and were just in the first grade of junior high school.
As they were eating, they were worried that they would be late, and they kept glancing at the wall clock, looking a little anxious.
"Grandma, brother, sister-in-law, we're leaving." Xu Shengwei finished the last mouthful of porridge, wiped his mouth, put on his military bag and prepared to leave with his sister.
This olive green military shoulder bag was brought back by Xu Shengjie. Military uniforms, military canteens and military shoulder bags are all very popular these days, and anyone who has a military uniform will look impressive.
Xu Shengwei patted his military bag and couldn't wait to show it to his classmates!
"Drive slowly on the road, Xiaowei is watching your sister."
"knew."
Liang Baozhen waved to the two people, turned to look at Xu Shengjie, and asked, "Is their primary school far from home?"
"Not far, just over ten minutes' walk. It's next to the Chinese cotton factory."
Xu Shengjie saw that there was still a small mouthful of corn porridge left in Liang Baozhen's bowl, so he reached out to add another bowl, "Would you like some more?"
"good."
"Grandma, I'll give you another bowl."
Xu Shengjie leaned forward to take his grandmother's bowl again, but was refused by someone who held the bowl.
"I'm full. You two should finish what's in the pot."
A pot of corn porridge was placed on the stove. It was watery and had not much rice in it.
Each person in the family has a monthly food ration. Xu Shengjie is a heavy laborer and a veteran, so he eats 42 kilograms per month, Zhou Yun eats 30 kilograms per month, and the two children, who are a little older, eat 30 kilograms in total.
Now with the addition of Liang Baozhen, who has a rural household registration, there is no food ration. With more people, there are more mouths to feed, so food has to be saved.
He scooped a spoonful of corn porridge with a large spoon and filtered out the water along the edge of the pot, leaving the drier part inside. He repeated this three times, then passed the bowl to Liang Baozhen and turned around to drink the remaining clear soup himself.
Zhou Yun had already finished eating. Seeing that there was obviously a lot of porridge in his grandson's wife's bowl, he smiled with relief. His grandson knew how to care for him.
After dinner, Xu Shengjie prepared to go to work. He had taken a day and a half off for his wedding. He got married yesterday and accompanied his wife to her parents’ home on the third day.
In the past, he would walk quickly to work after breakfast, but today he dawdled for a while and spoke to Liang Baozhen who was in the room.
"I went to the factory."
"Okay." Liang Baozhen was packing her things. Her grandmother had just said that she would take her to the courtyard to give some pastries to the aunties, so she casually said something to the man who was about to leave.
"If you have any questions, just ask grandma, or anyone in the orphanage." Xu Shengjie thought that Liang Baozhen would be a little uncomfortable since she had just arrived, so he couldn't help but give her a few more instructions.
Zhou Yun stood aside, laughing at his grandson, with smile lines creeping up his eyes again, "Okay, grandma will definitely take good care of him, just go back to work!"
"Just bring a few egg cakes."
Cakes and pastries are very expensive these days, and even a piece or two of them is considered a great gift.
Zhou Yun took Liang Baozhen to visit Aunt Zhang's home in the west wing first.
Aunt Zhang's name is Zhang Rong. She is in her forties. She and her husband are both workers at the state-owned cotton mill. However, she gave her job to her daughter-in-law two years ago and now stays at home to take care of the children.
"Hey, Auntie Yun, are you bringing your grandson's wife to see me?"
Zhou Yun took a few steps forward and spoke to Zhang Rong, "No, thanks to your help yesterday, otherwise we wouldn't be so busy."
"Auntie Zhang, thank you for your hard work yesterday." Liang Baozhen gave everyone a piece of egg cake.
The cakes were good stuff, so Zhang Rong immediately declined, "What's the big deal about just helping me? Just take it back."
"Just keep it. Don't be polite to us." Zhou Yun was calm and pulled her hand away. "Anyway, I'll need your help in the future. Our baby is new here, so as a aunt, can't you give her some help?"
Zhang Rong smiled, revealing her big white teeth, "You are planning to do this to me! Okay, I'll take the things, and I'll take care of Baozhen, this lady."
After leaving Zhang Rong's house, Zhou Yun and Liang Baozhen went to the west chamber. On the way, Zhou Yun whispered, "Your aunt Zhang's sister works in the street office. If you need to handle anything in the future, it will be convenient to find her. This favor is mutual."
Liang Baozhen had never expected that Grandma Xu Shengjie had so many things in her mind. The first two times she met her, she thought she was a kind and gentle old lady, but she didn't know that she had considered everything for her.
"The family living in the west wing, you can just call her Sister Liu, she's seven or eight years older than you, nimble and kind, you can talk more when you have nothing to do. She doesn't have a job, so she stays at home, she has two children, and her husband is a bus driver."
Liang Baozhen knew that stethoscope, steering wheel, ladle, and salesperson were the most popular jobs nowadays, and bus driver was the most prominent among them. Liu Nianhua's family of four should be living a comfortable life.
But when I saw Liu Nianhua, I was a little surprised.
Liu Nianhua had short hair cut to the ears, which looked a little dry. He wore a blue jacket with patches on top of each other. When he saw Zhou Yun and his men coming, he pulled up a smile.
"Xiao Liu, are you busy?"
On the chopping board was half a Chinese cabbage, the other half had been chopped into pieces, and next to them were her two sons, about five or six years old, with chubby faces. Liu Nianhua quickly put down the kitchen knife in her hand and called out, "Hey, Aunt Zhou, Baozhen, come and sit down."
"Ms. Liu." Liang Baozhen greeted the two children again and took out the egg cake in her hand. "Xiaolong and Xiaohu, do you want some egg cake?"
Xiaolong and Xiaohu snuggled up to Liu Nianhua and nodded vigorously.
"Why don't you thank your Aunt Baozhen?" Liu Nianhua reminded.
"Thank you, Aunt Baozhen."
Each of them got half a piece of egg cake. They played with sweet smiles on their faces. Liang Baozhen continued, "Sister Liu, you worked hard yesterday. You helped us set the table, serve the dishes, and clean up."
"Hey, why are you being so polite? This shouldn't happen." Liu Nianhua has a round face, a kind look, and speaks thoughtfully, "Baozhen, you just got here. If you have any questions, come to me. We are close."
"Okay, thank you, Ms. Liu."
"I have some freshly made sweet potato pancakes in my room. Take a few."
Zhou Yun and Liang Baozhen, who were carrying a few sweet potato cakes and had not yet left, saw the old bachelor from the back house walking quickly towards them, chattering non-stop.
"Sun Zhiqiang, what are you so anxious about?"
"There will be a meeting in the courtyard at 7:30 this evening. Every family must send someone to attend." Sun Zhiqiang walked briskly, notifying every household one by one.
"What's going on?"
"Why are we having another meeting?"
Many people gathered around to ask questions, all wanting to be mentally prepared in advance. After all, the last meeting held in the hospital was for ideological education, which troubled everyone for a while.
Sun Zhiqiang spread his hands and curled his lips, "We'll know when the time comes."
Without getting any answer, everyone could only go back home.
After getting familiar with the courtyard for a while in the afternoon, Zhou Yun briefly introduced the residents of each room to Liang Baozhen, and then the two returned to their rooms to take a nap.
We got up in the afternoon and cooked together, but before we were done, Xu Shengwei and Xu Shengya came back from school.
"Grandma! Sister-in-law!" Xu Shengwei rushed into the yard, stood in front of the stove, smelled the cowpea rice inside and swallowed his saliva.
"Go wash your hands. Where's Xiaoya?" Zhou Yun looked back and saw no one.
"It's behind us. We'll be there soon."
Xu Shengya walked in slowly, called someone obediently, put down her military bag, and went to the yard to turn on the water pipe to wash her hands.
"Grandma, I'm so proud today. They all came to see my military backpack!" Xu Shengwei didn't put down the bag even after he got home. He walked around with it on his back, unable to let it go. "Just now he said he wanted to borrow my backpack for a week."
Liang Baozhen was really frying cowpea rice and was about to take the pot off the stove. When she lifted the lid, a burst of delicious aroma filled her nose. She joined her brother's conversation and asked, "Do you agree?"
"I told him he had to give me two candies, and he said he would go back and think about it and get back to me tomorrow."
Zhou Yun shook his head and sneered, "You are quite clever, you just took two candies from someone?"
"If you don't want to give it to me, then forget it! I won't lend it to you. My military backpack belongs to our class. No, it's the newest and most beautiful one in our school." Xu Shengwei walked into the house with his head held high.
"My brother said he would give me the candy he earned." Xu Shengya stood beside her grandmother, ready to help serve the dishes.
"That Xiaowei is really good, thinking about Xiaoya." Liang Baozhen pursed her lips and asked the person to go in and sit down. "Just a few bowls and a pot of rice, you are not needed."
"It's okay, sister-in-law, let's go together." Xu Shengya glanced at Liang Baozhen secretly, felt that her sister-in-law smelled sweet, and stood a little closer to her.
At half past six, the family had prepared the meal, but Xu Shengjie had not returned yet. Xu Shengwei and Xu Shengwei looked outside anxiously, but they did not see anyone.
Zhou Yun said, "Let's not wait any longer. Let's eat first." He turned to Liang Baozhen and explained, "If it's not half past six yet, there must be something going on in the factory. You don't have to wait."
"Oh, okay." Liang Baozhen took a spoon and scooped a bowl of soup and placed it separately beside her, then picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
I fried a pot of cowpea rice today. There wasn't much rice, but mainly cowpeas. The mixture was very fragrant and filling. The four people in the room each ate a full bowl.
At the dinner table, Xiaowei and Xiaoya were very excited to learn that there would be a meeting in the courtyard that evening. The adults were not interested, but the children found it interesting.
"Grandma, we want to go too."
Zhou Yun didn't want to listen to Master Wei's nagging in the courtyard, so he just hid away for some quiet time. "Let your sister-in-law take you two there, but don't move around or run around. Be obedient."
"I know!" They both answered positively.
At 7:30 in the compound, the sky was already somewhat dark. Looking up, one could vaguely see the moon, which had just come out for work, looming and emitting a silvery-white glow.
The people on the ground dragged their stools to the open space in the second courtyard and formed a circle. Some people even started to eat peanuts and melon seeds.
Xu Shengwei's hands were busy. He took a bench in each hand and placed them in the yard. Then he turned around and ran back to the house to get three more palm-leaf fans. He did his preparations very well.
"Xiao Wei, your brother hasn't come back today, so you are the head of the family?" Wei Haiping, who lived in the main house, joked.
"Uncle Haiping, I am a man after all!" He looked at his sister-in-law and sister who were holding hands behind him, and said with a sense of pride, "Don't let a woman do it."
"Wow." Chen Yulian, a widow living in the west wing, ate some melon seeds and said, "Xiao Wei, you still know about women? Do you want to get married too?"
When Xu Shengwei heard this, his face flushed red, he hesitated for a while, and then shouted, "I don't want to get married!"
Then he ran away.
"Hey, Xiaowei, where are you going?" Liang Baozhen came over with Xu Shengya and saw Xiaowei running out of the yard, while everyone in the yard was smiling.
"It's okay. The kid is shy." Zhang Rong was the only one who came to her house. When she learned that Zhou Yun and Xu Shengjie were not coming, she sat next to Liang Baozhen. "Just now, Widow Chen was teasing him. He blushed after a few words."
Liang Baozhen followed Zhang Rong's line of sight and saw Chen Yulian sitting on a rattan chair. She was wearing a slim-fitting Dacron suit, with her arms exposed, and was complaining about the many mosquitoes.
"Chen Yulian's husband passed away early. At first, it was not easy for her to lead a life with two daughters on her own." Zhang Rong sighed but didn't say much.
Liang Baozhen was puzzled. Chen Yulian's clothes seemed not cheap, and her appearance did not look unkempt and she did not lead a hard life... Just when she was about to ask a few questions, she saw a master walking into the middle of the yard.
"Here he comes, Master Wei is here." Zhang Rong touched her arm.
Wei Jinrong is the head of the entire compound. He is 57 years old and used to be a clerk in the street office. Six years ago, he gave up his job to his son to prevent his son from going to the countryside as an educated youth. He then spent his days entertaining birds and watching crickets, and helped convey the spiritual essentials of the street office.
"Everyone, today we have a rare meeting. There are three things to discuss." Wei Jinrong is not very tall, about 1.5 meters tall, and his hunchback makes him look even shorter. However, his voice is loud, and the courtyard is quiet after he speaks. "First, there is another happy event in our courtyard. There are new people here. Everyone, please welcome them."
Liang Baozhen was caught off guard when her name was called. Seeing everyone's gazes on her, she could only respond with a smile. Now she remembered that Master Wei was the most bureaucratic person in the courtyard. He was long-winded and annoying when he spoke. Some people secretly gave him a nickname, Old Mosquito, buzzing.
"Second, yesterday at noon, some comrades were fighting in the yard. It would have been fine if they were just quarreling, but they actually used kitchen knives! My goodness, they threw it directly into the air. What kind of behavior is this? It's too dangerous." Master Wei glanced at Lu Yuan and Cheng Caili, hinting, "I won't mention the names, I hope the two comrades will reflect on themselves and don't do such stupid things again."
Lu Yuan touched his nose awkwardly and kept silent with his head down. Cheng Caili beside him stood up happily and said, "Master Wei, everyone knows it was us whether you point it or not. Okay, I apologize to everyone again. It was us who made trouble yesterday, especially me. I shouldn't have taken the kitchen knife on impulse. I just wanted to scare you..."
"Cheng Caili, you are not just threatening me, you are clearly trying to kill me! It's so scary."
"Alright, alright, Xiao Cheng knows it's wrong, Xiao Lu too, encourage your wife more."
"Is that Xiao Lu's fault? Xiao Cheng himself was wrong."
"It's because Xiao Lu made people angry, otherwise he would have used a kitchen knife?"
Liang Baozhen listened to the people in the courtyard talking one after another, but she couldn't get a word in. Fortunately, Xiaoya next to her helped explain.
"Sister-in-law, the one who just spoke was Uncle Wu, who lives in the east wing; the one who spoke over there was Aunt Luo, who lives in the west wing." Xu Shengya's voice was originally soft, and given the noise at the scene, only Liang Baozhen heard what she said.
"Then why did they start arguing?"
Xiaoya looked around, straightened up and whispered in her sister-in-law's ear, "Last time, Uncle Wu took some watermelon from Aunt Luo's house to eat, and Aunt Luo put her hands on her hips and scolded him for several days. Later, both families started to scold each other. At that time, there was a lot of noise in the yard."
It turned out that there was an old grudge. Liang Baozhen touched Xiaoya's head and said, "Luckily you are here, otherwise I really wouldn't understand anything."
After receiving praise from her sister-in-law and being patted on the head, Xiaoya smiled sweetly and even nodded to her sister-in-law about everything she knew to the people in the courtyard.
"What are you talking about?"
Liang Baozhen and Xu Shengya heard a familiar voice behind them and turned around at the same time. They saw Xu Shengjie, who had just returned from work, looking down at them.
"Brother." Xu Shengya called out in surprise and immediately gave up her seat. "Are you here for the meeting? Sit next to sister-in-law."
Grandma said that her brother and sister-in-law should stay together longer, so Xu Shengya quickly jumped off the bench and went to play with Qin Xiaoyue on the other side.
The person next to Liang Baozhen changed from Xu Shengya to Xu Shengjie, who happened to wipe his work clothes, and a smell of gasoline also came with it.
"Have you eaten?" Xu Shengjie looked straight ahead, but spoke to Liang Baozhen.
"Yes." Liang Baozhen asked back, "Did you eat? I left you a bowl of cowpea rice."
"Okay, we'll go back and eat after the meeting." He didn't directly answer whether he had eaten or not.
Liang Baozhen had a keen sense of smell. She sniffed again and couldn't help asking, "Why do you smell like gasoline?"
Xu Shengjie is now a second-level worker at the National Cotton Mill, so he shouldn't smell like gasoline.
"A large truck broke down in the factory that night. I helped to repair it for a while and was delayed until now."
"Can you also repair cars?" Liang Baozhen finally turned her head to look at the man, with a glimmer of admiration in her eyes. Nowadays, people who can drive a car are very amazing. Drivers are rare, let alone those who can repair cars.
Xu Shengjie didn't expect that saying he could repair a car would cause such a big reaction from his wife. He smiled and said softly, "I knew how to drive when I was in the army. Later, I was often on missions. My car broke down in the mountains. There was no village or shop nearby. I had to fix it myself. After a while, I gradually learned how to fix it. I can fix simple things."
"Okay, okay, what a mess for a meeting, there is no discipline at all." Wei Jinrong interrupted everyone and cleared his throat, "The third point, which is also the main purpose of today's meeting, is that many people have been busy with their children returning to the city recently, right? I hope everyone can adjust their mentality. It is not easy to find a job in the city now. It would be best if you can find one to let your children go back home, but if you can't find one for a while, don't feel emotional..."
Recently, the educated youth in the countryside have been feeling uneasy and have been moving around looking for jobs for their families in the city. The street office is worried that this will cause unnecessary trouble, so it has asked all localities to do some ideological work for everyone in advance.
"My brother-in-law also wants to return to the city, but I don't know how he is finding a job now?" Liang Baozhen heard her sister mention this last time.
"That's probably not going to be easy to find. Our factory and the nearby steel and tractor factories aren't hiring, unless someone in my brother-in-law's family can make a job available." Xu Shengjie also knew something about the situation.
The meeting lasted another half an hour. Liang Baozhen had experienced the power of Wei Jinrong's buzzing voice. He could break down a sentence and make it into twenty sentences, which made many people look around and hope to go home.
When he gave the order to adjourn the meeting, everyone took their stools and dispersed.
Xu Shengjie carried two benches and went home with Liang Baozhen and Xu Shengya. When Zhou Yun saw his grandson coming back, he asked a few questions and then went back to sleep. Xu Shengwei and Xu Shengya were also watched and made to wash their faces and feet and then lie down and sleep obediently.
It was almost nine o'clock when the newlyweds finished packing and returned to their room. After closing the wooden door and being alone in the room, Liang Baozhen suddenly had some shy memories and felt her waist a little sore again.
Especially when Xu Shengjie suddenly bent over and approached her, she was so scared that she immediately moved to the side and looked at him alertly, "What's wrong?"
"Get the things, what's wrong with you?" Xu Shengjie had never seen her like this before. She suddenly became as timid as a cat.
"Nothing." Liang Baozhen's head was shaking like a rattle. She saw the man rummaging in the cabinet and holding a yellow book in front of her. "What is this?"
"You keep the passbook." Xu Shengjie followed and sat next to Liang Baozhen. When he saw someone opening it, he said, "It's the money I saved when I was in the army, and there's some... miscellaneous stuff. In addition to sending it home on time every month, I saved more than 1,800 yuan. I spent more than 300 yuan on my wedding. Now the total amount of 1,552 is all in it."
"Leave it to me?" Liang Baozhen said without exaggeration that she had never seen so much money. Her family was lucky to get a few dozen at the end of each year. In addition, Liang Zhigao earned some money from doing carpentry work, but that was not a four-digit amount.
"Isn't it the wife who's in charge? Why are you letting me leave it alone?"
Liang Baozhen pressed the passbook against her body and immediately refused, "Then I'll keep it. You men don't know how to save money. You spend money lavishly."
One is my own father, the other is my own second brother, no exceptions!
Xu Shengjie couldn't help laughing, and just followed her words and said, "That's right, then I'll take care of it for you."
Liang Baozhen looked at the number on the passbook again and felt that she had money! When the policy is relaxed in two years, maybe she can use this money to start a business and buy a house...
He took a piece of newspaper and wrapped it three times, then put the passbook away. Liang Baozhen took off her coat and lay on the bed. Seeing that she was already lying down, Xu Shengjie blew out the kerosene lamp and followed her up.
In the past, his bed was cold, but since last night when a girl started lying on it, Xu Shengjie could only feel a faint fragrance everywhere. He was young and energetic, and after experiencing his wedding night last night, he was even more passionate. However, when he thought about how he was a little too presumptuous last night, his wife rubbed his waist from time to time all day, and he felt guilty.
"Go to bed early. You have to go back to your parents' house tomorrow."
"good."
Taking a deep breath, Xu Shengjie turned over, facing Liang Baozhen and tried to close his eyes and sleep...
However, he, who used to fall asleep as soon as he touched the pillow, couldn't fall asleep for a long time tonight.
Liang Baozhen breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the man next to her fall asleep. She couldn't stand his torment tonight, so she thanked him for still having a conscience.
However, thinking about the married life in the past two days, everything seems not as difficult as I imagined. The Xu family is very nice, and there are all kinds of people in the courtyard. More importantly, my family can seize the opportunity to make money. In the future, grain coupons, meat coupons, and sugar coupons will be cancelled. As long as you have money, you can buy whatever you want. It is always right to make more money!
But she didn't expect Xu Shengjie to have saved a lot of money. He was indeed a good housekeeper. He was gentle to her on weekdays, just like in her dream. But he seemed a little wild at night, making her unable to resist...
As she was thinking, Liang Baozhen suddenly remembered the scar in her dream. She was drowsy and confused last night and didn't pay any attention to it.
"Xu... Shengjie?" She called out in a low voice, and seeing no one responded, Liang Baozhen walked over quietly, and reached out her right hand very lightly to Xu Shengjie's waist, lifted a corner of his clothes, and put her index finger upwards, and she really touched a scar!
Then, his right hand was tightly held by someone. Xu Shengjie turned over and looked at the woman who was making trouble. "Don't you want to sleep?"
The author has something to say:
Liang Baozhen: Let me see if the anti-counterfeiting sign is there
Xu Shengjie: Is my wife hinting at something?
See you tomorrow at midnight~
