Although they were all lying on their sides in an orderly manner, Yu Xiangnian's state of mind was very different.
Last time, Yu Xiangnian just wanted to keep a distance from Cheng Jingmo and fell asleep quickly.
This time, her heart felt like it was being scratched by a cat's claws. She couldn't calm down and couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard she tried.
But she didn't want Cheng Jingmo to see her impatience, so she didn't dare to toss and turn, and could only lie there like a corpse.
She forced herself to count sheep, and as she was counting she remembered something.
"Cheng Jingmo, before we got married, you told my dad that you and Wu Xiaomin had a blind date, but after getting to know each other, you realized they weren't suitable and didn't continue. Is that true?"
Cheng Jingmo was lying flat on the bed. When he heard Yu Xiangnian's sudden words, his heart skipped a beat. He said calmly, "Really?"
"Can you guarantee it?" Yu Xiangnian asked worriedly.
"I assure the Party and the people that what I said to the Commander-in-Chief is true." Cheng Jingmo's tone sounded very serious.
Dare to make a promise to the Party and the people!
That means Cheng Jingmo didn't lie.
"So how far has your relationship with Wu Xiaomin progressed? Are you talking about marriage?" Yu Xiangnian asked again.
Cheng Jingmo answered simply, "No."
Yu Xiangnian believed that Cheng Jingmo was not lying, but why was his answer completely inconsistent with the rumors outside?
Is there a deviation in the definition of marriage?
Cheng Jingmo believes that discussing marriage requires both parties to be clear and transparent, while Wu Xiaomin believes that holding hands and kissing means getting married.
"Did you kiss?" Yu Xiangnian asked.
In the darkness, Yu Xiangnian couldn't see Cheng Jingmo's expression and waited for a long time.
Xiang Nian believed that they had definitely kissed, but when Cheng Jingmo was at a loss for words, he squeezed out two words from his mouth, "No."
"What about holding hands?" Yu Xiangnian asked again.
After a while, he said, "No."
Yu Xiangnian felt a little secretly delighted. This man was so pure in his love life?!
She kissed Cheng Jingmo even though she wasn't in a relationship with him!
"Then you have to promise Chairman Mao that you have never kissed or held hands." There was a hint of joy in Yu Xiangnian's voice.
Cheng Jingmo said, "Boring."
After getting a satisfactory answer, Yu Xiangnian felt even less sleepy.
She wanted to turn on the light to see what Cheng Jingmo's expression looked like now. His ears must have been red.
Yu Xiangnian slowly moved towards Cheng Jingmo, but Cheng Jingmo didn't react at all, probably because he didn't notice her getting closer.
After more than ten minutes, Yu Xiangnian pretended to fall asleep again, turned over, faced Cheng Jingmo, and leaned on him.
Cheng Jingmo didn't push her away, nor did he move away. He just stood there motionless and let her lean on him.
Yu Xiangnian's lips curled up silently, and he fell asleep unknowingly.
After more than half an hour, Cheng Jingmo felt that the person next to him was breathing evenly. He judged that Yu Xiangnian was already asleep, so he moved.
His hand slowly groped for Yu Xiangnian's hand and gently held it.
He only held her hand!
When Yu Xiangnian woke up, she was the only one in the bed and it was almost time for lunch.
Except for Yu Xiangyang, Cheng Jingmo and a few children, everyone in the family went to work.
Yu Xiangyang said that the army gave them two days off so that they could have a good rest.
After lunch, the three of them rode their bikes home.
The house was covered with a thin layer of dust. The three of them began to clean by sweeping, mopping and wiping.
Cheng Jingmo took off the quilt covers and sheets from the two beds and washed them.
It’s so hot today, we can do it in the afternoon.
After being tired all afternoon, the three of them had a bowl of noodles for dinner.
Not long after dinner, Liu Zhen came.
"I heard some noise next door, and it turned out to be you guys back!"
Seeing Cheng Jingmo making the bed in the bedroom, he couldn't help but tut his lips, "Comrade Yu, you are so lucky! Even Deputy Commander Cheng is doing the bed-making. You have found such a man, it's really amazing!"
Yu Xiangnian glanced into the room and thought: "Do women have to make the bed? Whoever has nothing to do can do it, right?"
Yu Xiangnian asked Xiaojie to call Wang Hongxiang and Li Guihua to come home, as she had something to discuss with them.
The four of them sat together, and Yu Xiangnian first asked about their business situation.
Wang Hongxiang said, "Everyone's business is good, I have made this much money." She pointed up with three fingers.
Earning thirty yuan in two months is not bad.
Yu Xiangnian was also happy for them.
Liu Zhen said, "Oh right! The person who came to Hongxiang to make clothes a few days ago was your friend. She must be getting married, and she made a wedding dress."
"Who is it?" Yu Xiangnian didn't know that she had a friend who was getting married.
"I don't know his name," Liu Zhen said, "I came to see you. I came with the man you used to bring home."
Bai Mei is getting married?!
Yu Xiangnian was shocked!
Who will take over? Ding Yunfei?
Yu Xiangnian is really curious!
"When will she come to you to pick up the clothes?" Yu Xiangnian asked Wang Hongxiang.
"the day after tomorrow."
"Then I'll go with you guys the day after tomorrow."
The three of them chatted for a while, and then Yu Xiangnian began to get to the main topic of today.
"I have a question for you. You've all been saying that Cheng Jingmo and Doctor Wu from the clinic are engaged, and that my dad forced him to marry me. Where did you hear this?"
The three of them looked at each other in confusion, "That's what everyone in the family compound said!"
"Who told you that?" Yu Xiangnian asked.
Liu Zhen said, "I heard it when everyone was gossiping together. I don't know who said it first. Anyway, everyone said it."
Li Guihua and Wang Hongxiang also nodded in agreement.
"What's wrong?" Wang Hongxiang asked.
"Nothing." Yu Xiangnian asked again, "Then when did you hear about this?"
"It was only two or three months after you got married that the news started to spread," Wang Hongxiang said. "You were so arrogant, looking down on everyone and scolding everyone you met! Everyone couldn't stand you, and they would get together every day to scold you."
Yu Xiangnian: “…”
After thinking for a while, Yu Xiangnian pointed the finger of suspicion at Wu Xiaomin.
Apart from Wu Xiaomin, no one else has the motive to spread such rumors.
According to Yu Xiangnian's inference, Wu Xiaomin loved Cheng Jingmo but was unable to get him, and hated Cheng Jingmo for marrying her, so she made up this rumor.
As long as you tell one family member, it will spread throughout the entire family compound within three days.
Yu Xiangnian decided: give others a taste of their own medicine!
Yu Xiangnian will return it the same way Wu Xiaomin spread it!
She asked Liu Zhen and the other three to take action starting tomorrow.
Everything was arranged, and the three of them went home.
Yu Xiangnian took a shower and was about to go back to the bedroom to continue translating when he was stopped by Cheng Jingmo in the main room.
"Yu Xiangnian." His expression was unnatural and he avoided Yu Xiangnian's gaze.
Yu Xiangnian stood there, waiting for this innocent man to speak.
