Chapter 148 Guagua.
Although people have to stay indoors during the winter, during the period between the New Year and the New Year, people can't keep their cats indoors even if they want to.
The Shitang Brigade had a good harvest this year. On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, each team calculated their work points and converted them into money, and on the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, they slaughtered pigs.
These are two big days, even more lively than New Year’s Eve.
After all, New Year’s Eve is a time for family reunion, while calculating work points and slaughtering pigs are grand events that bring together every household in the brigade.
Xiang Yao did not join in the work point calculation on the day. It was midsummer when she arrived, and it has only been half a year now. Although she has actually participated in the labor, if the work points are added together, there are really not many.
In the first half of the year, I was still in high school, so I had even fewer work points.
Xiang Yao said that she was not very interested in this kind of thing of falling behind others, and it would be more fun to roast sweet potatoes at home.
And she always felt sleepy in the winter, as if she had endless sleep every day. It was hard for her to overcome the sleepiness when she had to get up early...
However, Nie Baichuan had to go. He had calculated the work points with the scorer and was going to help distribute the money today.
Actually, the brigade had called him up because they saw in him his good character, so naturally he couldn't refuse.
When Nie Baichuan came back, he also brought a medium-sized melon.
When exchanging work points for money, He Liuzhi and Zhang Xiaoxi started fighting in front of everyone, and the scene was extremely violent.
Of course, if it’s just a fight between a couple, it’s not a big deal. In such a situation, someone will definitely step forward to stop them.
But...
Xiang Yao used tongs to pull the sweet potato out from under the charcoal fire and let it roll to the foot of the chair to cool. He leaned forward slightly, his eyes wide open. "Yuan Xianggui? Zhang Xiaoxi's, that, that lover, helped Zhang Xiaoxi beat He Liuzhi?"
Nie Baichuan nodded, picked up the sweet potato on the ground, and carefully peeled off the soft, burnt skin. "Well, two against one, He Liuzhi is at a big disadvantage."
Xiang Yao regretted it.
I regret not going to the scene to watch the latest excitement.
She had long known that Zhang Xiaoxi's lover, He Guoqiang's biological father, was Yuan Xianggui. At first, she had only heard his voice in the grove, and later, she had identified him with Yuan Xianggui while at work.
These two people have some dignity to protect, and never show their relationship in front of others. Even He Liuzhi has never had anything to do with Yuan Xianggui for various reasons. Even if they were assigned to work in the same group, they would never say a word to each other from beginning to end.
It’s just that I didn’t expect that in today’s occasion where most of the team members were present, Yuan Xianggui actually openly helped Zhang Xiaoxi beat people. It was very shocking.
Xiang Yao blinked as if thinking of something, and asked, "Comrade Xiao Nie, do you or anyone else know the relationship between these three people?"
Nie Baichuan peeled half a sweet potato and handed it to her. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's the connection?"
Xiang Yao now understood all of Nie Baichuan's expressions. She took the sweet potato and blew on it: "Stop pretending! You definitely know!"
Nie Baichuan reminded: "It's hot, be careful, let it cool down before eating."
Seeing that Xiang Yao really didn't rush to eat, he said, "I didn't know it before, but later I heard someone else in the team tell me about it."
Xiang Yao: "Sure enough, many people know about it."
She knew that it must be the time when He Guoqiang moved out to live alone that many people heard about the "borrowing sperm" rumor.
There is no absolute secret in the world, and Zhang Xiaoxi has no intention of keeping this secret now, so the news spread from one person to another, and finally it became known.
"No wonder He Liuzhi has given up now. It must be because he found out that others know the secret he has been keeping for so many years." She said.
Once a person loses his sense of faith, it will be difficult to maintain his original "principles".
For example, He Liuzhi wanted to keep the secret of borrowing sperm a secret, and then let He Guoqiang take care of him in the future. But now that the secret has been exposed, he no longer has the idea.
No wonder Aunt Xiaoxia said that He Liuzhi hasn't knocked on the door of He Guoqiang's house recently. Maybe he feels that there is no hope for his retirement.
Xiang Yao sighed with regret: "If He Liuzhi had always treated Guoqiang as his own son and treated him well, given Guoqiang's personality, even if he knew He Liuzhi was not his biological father, he would still do what a child should do."
It’s a pity that people like He Liuzhi don’t understand this truth.
He was both inferior and arrogant, and his psychology and behavior had long been distorted by this huge contradiction.
"Is He Guoqiang here today?" Xiang Yao asked.
Nie Baichuan: "Present."
He explained: "He Guoqiang himself has long known about his own background."
Xiang Yao opened her lips slightly: "Ah...someone told him?"
Nie Baichuan: "I don't know. He hasn't said anything. I think he'll continue to live alone."
Xiang Yao nodded. He Guoqiang was a very proud kid. He was mature for his young age and he understood everything very clearly.
He has his own ideas and choices, which is good.
I would like to tell Xiang Yao that it would be better for her to continue living alone for now. A child should not be responsible for any of the things related to her life experience.
As for Yuan Xianggui, he was willing to carry out the "borrowing seed" thing back then, and he has been involved with Zhang Xiaoxi for so many years, but at the same time, he has no intention of caring about He Guoqiang...
What good is this kind of person?
It’s best not to get involved with anyone.
Nie Baichuan knew that she liked to watch the fun, although sometimes he could clearly feel that she was not watching the fun itself, but he had no intention of exploring it. She liked to listen, so he often shared some of the fun he saw with her.
"Finally, Secretary Huang rushed over and scolded the three men, and then others intervened, and the fight finally stopped."
Xiang Yao took a bite of the sweet potato and found it tasteless. "Oh, if I had known I would have gone today."
This kind of Shura scene is not that interesting just by listening to the narration, especially since Nie Baichuan tells the story in the same tone from beginning to end, so she can only fill in the story in her own imagination, which is better than nothing.
"Is the calculation of work points going smoothly?" Xiang Yao tilted his head and asked.
She herself had never experienced such a grand event. Even her original memory only showed that she had participated in it when she was a child. It did not leave much impression on her. She only remembered that it was noisy, complicated and trivial.
Nie Baichuan thought for a moment and said, "It's going pretty smoothly. There haven't been any major disputes."
Xiang Yao nodded, lost interest, and continued to eat the sweet potato.
The sweet potatoes grown in the brigade were not the improved varieties that were later developed. They were not very sweet and were dry and choking. The ones Xiang Yao roasted were the ones she got from the melon field. They were sweet and soft.
She broke off a piece and handed it to Nie Baichuan: "It's really delicious, you can have some too."
Nie Baichuan didn't take it, but he moved his head closer and opened his mouth to grab the sweet potato, but Xiang Yao took the sweet potato back.
"Oh, you! I haven't even peeled my skin off yet, and if you keep biting me like that, your mouth will be full of black!"
Xiang Yao grumbled coquettishly as she carefully peeled the skin of the sweet potato. The skin was easy to peel, having been separated from the inner sweet potato core during the roasting process. It came off easily with a gentle rip, without getting any of the sweet potato core stuck to it.
Nie Baichuan stared at the person in front of him peeling sweet potatoes without blinking. Without the other person noticing, his heart and eyes were filled with tenderness.
Even until Xiang Yao raised his head again and stuffed the clean sweet potato into his mouth, the tenderness did not fade away.
Xiang Yao pursed her lips and smiled: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Nie Baichuan shook his head and answered irrelevantly: "It is indeed delicious."
Xiang Yao remained unmoved. He leaned forward slightly and looked at him carefully: "Tell me, why are you looking at me like that?"
Nie Baichuan couldn't help laughing and raised his hand to pinch her nose: "Of course it's because I miss you."
Xiang Yao's eyes widened: "I'm just sitting here, why are you still thinking about me?"
She feigned suspicion: "Comrade Nie Baichuan, you are not looking at my face and thinking about someone else, are you?"
Nie Baichuan was stunned by her amazing train of thought. This was a serious accusation, so he quickly said, "Of course not!"
Xiang Yao snorted, "I don't think you'd dare."
Nie Baichuan nodded: "Well, I don't dare."
Xiang Yao also pinched his face with her backhand: "Be good~"
A fire was ignited out of thin air by her pinch. The man's eyes became more and more profound, looking at her as if he were looking at a piece of extremely delicious sweet cake.
Xiang Yao seemed to sense something, looked back, and said with a sly smile: "The look in your eyes, if someone didn't know, I would think you have a grudge against me!"
Nie Baichuan nodded seriously: "Yes."
Xiang Yao: "Hmm?"
Nie Baichuan said seriously, "I have a grudge against you. I want to eat you."
Xiang Yao: ...
Sometimes when men talk nonsense, it's really...
Damn tempting!
Xiang Yao's cheeks flushed, and she said calmly, "Hey! We're an old married couple, why are you talking about this!"
Nie Baichuan laughed: "You don't like to hear it?"
Xiang Yao: "I like to listen to it, but it's in broad daylight, and it has a bad influence!"
Nie Baichuan: "Dad and Mom won't be back until after dinner."
On the important day of calculating work points every year, the team would have a collective big pot meal, which was the tradition of Shitang Brigade.
On this day, after everyone has calculated their work points, they will help each other and work hard to prepare a dinner that may not be rich but will definitely be filling.
Xiang Yao also remembered this, so he raised his eyebrows: "So?"
Nie Baichuan didn't answer. He suddenly stood up and picked her up by the waist. With a soft cry, he said calmly, "So, even in broad daylight, I will eat you."
Xiang Yao patted his shoulder weakly: "Nie Baichuan——"
…
At dusk, the snow outside the window is set against the setting sun and becomes golden, like some precious silk, shining brightly.
Xiang Yao slowly woke up from his coma, and for a long time he was still unconscious, not knowing what day it was.
But the regular and gentle breathing sound beside her reminded her that this person had just had sex with her in broad daylight not long ago.
Humph, shameless!
Xiang Yao gritted his teeth, turned slightly, and faced someone.
She rarely saw the man asleep in visible light. He always went to bed later than her and got up earlier than her.
Especially at night after they finished exercising, she was always so tired that she fell asleep on the spot. All the cleaning work was done by Nie Baichuan, while she slept soundly. How could she know what he looked like when he was asleep?
As he watched, Xiang Yao couldn't help but try it.
She gently touched his thick, curled eyelashes, secretly hating how a grown man could have such beautiful eyelashes. Meanwhile, she often lamented the inconvenience of this era: the inability to get cosmetics...
Then he traced his eyes again, down to his tall nose... his lips...
It stopped at her lips because someone suddenly opened their lips slightly, took her restless finger between their teeth, and grinded it gently.
"Are you awake? When did you wake up?" Xiang Yao wanted to withdraw his hand, but it was too late. He smiled and asked.
Nie Baichuan didn't open his eyes. He reached out and took her fingers into his palm, with a hint of teasing in his tone: "Well, I woke up when you touched my eyes."
How could he, being such a vigilant person, not know that there was a hand playfully wandering around his face?
Xiang Yao blinked, snuggled into Nie Baichuan's arms, and acted coquettishly: "What should I do? I don't want to get up."
Nie Baichuan hugged her to his chest and said, "If you don't want to remember, then don't remember. I'll go cook later."
Xiang Yao: "Aren't we going to the team to eat?"
Nie Baichuan chuckled: "Don't you want to get up?"
Xiang Yao thought about it and really didn't want to go: "Well, I don't want to."
Nie Baichuan patted her back gently: "Then don't go."
The atmosphere was so wonderful and Xiang Yao felt so relaxed that he couldn't help but close his eyes and fall asleep before he could say a few words.
Nie Baichuan held her in his arms and lay quietly for a while before he quietly got up and went to cook.
