Chapter 73
Ye Manzhi expected that the wedding banquet would last at most two or three hours. After everyone had toasted and finished eating, she could go home and count the gifts.
However, what was unexpected was that an ordinary banquet turned into a buffet!
Factory 656 strives to complete its production tasks ahead of schedule, so the production line is constantly running, with people on duty even on weekends.
Lao Ye and Wu Zhengrong are both popular in the factory. Many workers come directly to the cafeteria to give gifts and have a feast after get off work.
After the previous group of people finished eating and left, the next group came to take over.
The wedding banquet lasted from noon to evening, and the groom Wu Zhengrong was drunk quite a lot.
He was surrounded by enemies today. Not only did he have to entertain his colleagues from the factory, but he also had to deal with his comrades in the army.
The others were relatively well-behaved, but today two of his military academy classmates who were about his age also came.
One of them is now the deputy regiment commander of the provincial military region, and the other is a lecturer at the Binjiang Military Academy.
Not only did they toast themselves, they also encouraged the young officers in the military representative office to change sides and turn from resisting drinking to toasting.
Wu Zhengrong fought against more than a dozen people alone. Even with the help of his cousins and uncles, he was still drunk and knocked down after a fierce battle.
When the banquet was over, he was carried back to the bridal chamber.
"Sister-in-law, look at what's happened! I didn't expect Old Wu to be so drunk. I always thought he was a big drinker!"
Zou Kai was full of vigor when he was pouring wine for the groom, but when he faced the accusing look of the bride, he touched his nose uncomfortably.
"Sister-in-law is sister-in-law, why call me little sister-in-law!" Yang Shulin patted him on the shoulder and said to Ye Manyi with an apologetic smile, "Sister-in-law, we are so happy for you. I didn't expect Zhengrong to be so drunk. You must have been so worried and concerned..."
Yang Shulin and Zou Kai had both married and had children long ago. Wu Zhengrong was considered a backward person in terms of marriage and had been ridiculed many times before. Other people's sons were about to graduate from elementary school, but he was still a bachelor.
When they came to the wedding, they were somewhat exploratory and curious.
But when we got there, we found out that this guy was actually an old cow eating young grass! He married such a young and beautiful wife, who is said to be a government official.
So, even though today is Wu Zhengrong’s happy day, he can’t be too proud. He must drink this wine!
This was the first time Ye Manzhi met these two comrades. She had nothing to say about the culprit who got Wu Zhengrong drunk.
She had drunk quite a bit of wine today, and after a few polite words, she pretended to be drunk and asked Qin Xiang to help see the guests off and take the officers from the military representative's office away as well.
Relatives and friends from both sides were still finishing up the work in the second canteen. After all the outsiders had left, only the newlyweds were left in the bridal chamber.
Ye Manzhi sat down beside the bed and tentatively touched his flushed cheek. She felt that his body temperature was a little high and his neck was damp, so she reached out to help him unbutton his military uniform.
It was her request to get married in the summer so that she could wear a beautiful dress at the wedding and fulfill her wish of having a beautiful wedding.
But she didn't expect the military uniform to be so thick!
After wearing a full suit for a whole day and drinking so much white wine, Wu Zhengrong's chest and back were covered in sweat.
She was afraid that Wu Zhengrong would get heatstroke, so she wanted to help him take off his military jacket.
But she couldn't hold the drunk man, so she could only unbutton his jacket, then his shirt, and wipe the sweat off his chest.
She had no distractions at this moment. While unbuttoning her shirt, she exclaimed that her tailoring skills were so good!
She used the sewing machine given by her elder sister to make this shirt for Wu Zhengrong in a hurry before the wedding.
Continuing her fine tradition of saving fabric, she chose a cut that fits the body better, and the effect on the body is much better than the shirts issued uniformly by the army.
After the military representative put it on, his handsomeness reached a new level.
However, as she rubbed, she gradually felt something strange.
When the two hugged, she took the opportunity to touch Wu Zhengrong's body.
Although the man's chest and abdominal muscles are tight, when he is relaxed, they are no different from her body and feel soft.
Only when I kiss her and my body is tense will those muscles become hard.
However, she was concentrating on wiping Wu Zhengrong's sweat with a towel at this moment, so why did the abdominal muscles under her palms become hard?
She was puzzled and leaned over to observe the handsome face with a slightly flushed look.
The eyelashes did not flutter frequently, and the eyeballs did not move at all.
But she just felt something was amiss, so she leaned over to his ear and asked, "Comrade Military Representative, are you pretending to be drunk?"
Comrade Military Representative did not make any movement.
But Ye Manzhi still had one hand on his abdomen, and when her breath sprayed against her ear, she felt the muscles under the towel harden again.
She hummed in her heart.
You pretend quite well!
Ye Manzhi threw the towel aside, supported her hands on both sides of his body, and stared down at this "drunkard" condescendingly.
Then she leaned over and kissed his dry lips, moistening them like a pear flower licking its claws.
When the breathing in his ears became increasingly disordered, Ye Manzhi suddenly reached out and pinched the "drunkard's" nose, ruthlessly blocking his breathing.
Let you pretend!
The drunk with his nose pinched finally laughed out loud, pulled away the rebellious hand, put his arms around her neck and deepened the kiss on his lips.
Ye Manzhi patted his chest twice and complained, "Are you annoying? Why are you pretending to be drunk? Your face is so red and you're all sweaty. I thought you had a heat stroke!"
Wu Zhengrong opened his eyes, quickly glanced around, and asked in a low voice, "Are they all gone?"
"They left a long time ago! Hurry up and take off your coat, or you'll get a heat stroke!" Ye Manyi asked again, "Why are you pretending to be drunk? You're so heavy, I can't even carry you!"
When Wu Zhengrong propped himself up to observe the situation outside the window, the bride reached out and straightened his face. He had no choice but to look away and explain to her, "Those guys drank from noon to night and lingered, refusing to leave. They were actually trying to cause trouble in the bridal chamber. If I weren't drunk, you'd be onlookers biting apples with me right now."
"What bit the apple?"
Ye Manzhi was an unmarried lesbian before. When she attended other people's weddings, she would leave directly after the meal, so it was not her turn to make trouble in the bridal chamber.
So she didn't know what the tricks were.
"It's like hanging an apple between the newlyweds and letting them bite it together. When they are about to bite it, the apple is raised..."
"Then we can kiss each other, right?"
"Um."
"What's the point of watching something like this? It's so vulgar!"
Ye Manzhi was not afraid of kissing him, but she didn't want to kiss him in front of outsiders. That would be so embarrassing!
"Okay, I'll forgive you because you're quite smart."
Ye Manzhi poured him a glass of boiled water to moisten his throat, and then kissed him on the lips as a reward.
She had been so busy preparing for the wedding these past two days that she hadn't thought about the bridal chamber prank at all.
Her parents and sister never told her about it.
Fortunately, Wu Zhengrong pretended to be drunk in advance and did not give those people a chance to make trouble in the bridal chamber!
While kissing her, Wu Zhengrong took off his sweaty coat and shirt, then carried her around the waist and put her on the bed.
When Ye Manzhi felt the tense lines of his arms, her heart also tightened. She couldn't help but clamp her legs together and hummed softly, "Wu Zhengrong, I want to go to the bathroom. Come with me..."
"Now?" Wu Zhengrong stopped above.
"Ah, it's getting dark outside. I don't dare go there by myself."
This yard is good in every way except for one thing - there is no indoor toilet.
This area of bungalows was built when the factory was first established. They are considered the oldest buildings in the factory. At that time, the houses were not designed with indoor toilets, so if you wanted to go to the toilet, you had to go to the public toilet outside.
Ye Manzhi and her family have only moved into the building for two years. When they lived in a bungalow before, they also had to use public toilets on the street, so she had no difficulty adapting.
But the lights in the military industrial compound were turned on at eight o'clock in the summer nights, and it was not yet eight o'clock. The toilet without street lights was pitch black, so she didn't dare go there by herself.
Wu Zhengrong thought of the water stain from before and couldn't help but confirm with her: "Do you really want to go to the bathroom?"
"yes."
Ye Manzhi thought his question was a bit strange. How could going to the toilet be fake? She had felt it since the banquet ended, but she had never found the time to solve it.
She pushed the man's shoulder and urged, "Wu Zhengrong, I want to go to the bathroom. Come with me..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of suppressed laughter suddenly came from the wall outside the window.
The young couple on the bed fell silent at the same time, looking towards the wide-open glass windows at the same time.
Ye Manzhi opened his eyes wide in astonishment.
Wu Zhengrong had already jumped out of bed nimbly, picked up the large enamel teapot on the chest of drawers, and stepped to the open window in two steps.
He didn't give anyone any time to react, and slowly poured a bucket of cold water from left to right, just like watering a flower.
Several shouts of "ouch" and "oh my god" were immediately heard from the wall outside the window.
Yang Shulin splashed the cold water on his head and complained, "Qin Xiang, why are you so impatient? If we assign you a reconnaissance mission, won't you expose the entire regiment?"
Zou Kai then said, "Qin Xiang, covert reconnaissance, 0 points."
"Sorry, sorry, I'm sorry everyone!"
Qin Xiang stood up from under the window, apologizing for his "puff" and complaining in his heart, if you really listened to what Captain Wu said, I would not be able to work in the military representative office anymore.
I will be sent away by my leader tomorrow.
A dozen young men emerged from under the wall one after another. Among them were Wu Zhengrong's classmates, young officers from the military representative office, and several teenage boys from colleagues' families.
Wu Zhengrong casually pulled the curtains halfway up to block the direction of the bed, then stepped onto the windowsill and jumped out.
Ye Manyi didn't expect that he would go through the window instead of the door, and she couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.
Her exclamation once again caused the young people to laugh.
Ye Manzhi: “…”
Wu Zhengrong kicked several people nearby on their buttocks and said, "What are you laughing at? Get out of here!"
Zou Kai covered his butt with his hands and yelled, "Old Wu, you're so rude! You finally got married, and everyone wants to help you have a good time, but you actually tried to get away with it by pretending to be drunk!"
"Haha, I guessed he was pretending a long time ago! The wine cups at the wedding were so shallow, how could he get drunk so easily? Luckily we managed to catch him off guard!" Yang Shulin nodded at Wu Zhengrong, "This kid is very cunning!"
Wu Zhengrong was still worried about Ye Lai Ya needing to go to the toilet. If these people didn't leave, wouldn't they make him sick?
"Alright, you guys, you've seen the fun and heard the nonsense, so get out of here. Be careful with your words, and don't say anything nonsense when you get out."
Zou Kai greeted the group of young people and left, laughing and saying, "That's enough. If we really piss off the bride, be careful that she won't let us visit her again!"
"Hahaha!"
A group of people were driven out by Wu Zhengrong like cattle.
Just as he closed the gate, he heard someone pinching their throat and saying in a delicate voice, "Wu Zhengrong, I want to go to the bathroom, come with me~~~~"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
A dozen people laughed as if dozens of people were laughing.
Wu Zhengrong: “…”
He locked the door and walked quickly into the room. Ye Manyi was kneeling on the bed, her face red as if blood could drip out, and her eyes were a little wet, obviously having heard the teasing.
He tried to act as nonchalant as possible as he walked over and put her shoes beside the bed. "Don't you want to go to the bathroom? Come on, I'll go with you."
Ye Manzhi was feeling very sensitive at the time. When she heard him mention the toilet, she was so embarrassed that she almost cried, "Even you are laughing at me?"
"Why am I laughing at you? Aren't you anxious?" Wu Zhengrong put his arm around her shoulders and whispered, "There's a spittoon outside. If you don't want to go to the public restroom, you can do it at home. I'll help you empty it..."
"Ahhh, stop talking!" Ye Manzhi felt so ashamed just thinking about that scene. She felt like she was about to smoke. She stretched out her foot to kick him in the chest, "You stinky men are no good!"
Wu Zhengrong: “…”
This was the first time he was called a stinky man.
It’s also a fresh experience.
Although Ye Manzhi felt embarrassed, she still had to go to the toilet, so she spinelessly asked Wu Zhengrong to accompany her to the public toilet.
But she was the only one in the women's restroom, and the sound of falling water even had an echo.
Both she and the people outside could hear it clearly.
She called out to Wu Zhengrong, telling him to stand further away, while controlling herself not to make too much noise from the water.
After using the toilet, she was flushed and sweaty.
Fortunately, Wu Zhengrong was quite considerate in this regard. After she came out, he directly brought up the topic and asked, "You've been tired all day. Do you want to take a shower later?"
"We don't even have a toilet at home, how can we take a shower?"
Ye Manzhi knew about his situation.
In the summer nights, I take a shower in the yard, and in the factory in other seasons.
There is a public bathroom on the west side of the floor where the military representative's office is located. They wash there after training.
"I bought you a bathtub a few days ago. You can use it to wash."
The first thing that came to Ye Manzhi's mind was the large laundry tub at home.
Maddow took a bath in the washtub.
Does Wu Zhengrong also want her to sit in the washtub?
However, what Wu Zhengrong bought for her was indeed a bathtub.
The oval iron barrel is less than one meter high, and a woman of her size can curl up her legs and half lie in it.
But male comrades who are too tall, such as military representatives, may not be suitable.
Ye Manzhi had never used a bathtub before, so she asked excitedly, "Why did you think of buying me a bathtub?"
"When you lived in an apartment building, you could take a shower in the bathroom during the summer. But here in our house, the toilet is already like that. I can't let you suffer any more in terms of showering, right?"
Ye Manzhi patted the tin bucket happily, "I'm not that delicate! I can overcome everything!"
Looking at her insincere look, Wu Zhengrong chuckled and went out to boil water for her to take a bath.
*
Although Courtyard No. 16 is smaller than other courtyards, it also has a regular three-bedroom layout.
Wu Zhengrong had previously only used one bedroom and one study, leaving a small room for storing miscellaneous items, which was basically idle.
It is now temporarily used as Ye Manzhi's bathroom.
She soaked in the big bathtub for a long time. When the water temperature gradually cooled down and the skin on her fingers became wrinkled, she finally stepped out of the bathtub reluctantly.
After slowly wiping off the water droplets on her body, Ye Manzhi hesitated for a while at the clothes on the hanger, and finally put on her underwear.
Maybe because she had been soaking for too long, she felt her legs were a little weak and her breathing was a little difficult.
She squatted on the ground and struggled to choose for a while, and finally gave up the vest and shorts she usually wore to sleep. She gritted her teeth and draped herself with the towel that she had secretly brought in before taking a shower.
Then he took a deep breath, clutched the towel blanket in front of his chest, opened the door and walked out.
During her long bath, Wu Zhengrong had already taken a quick shower in the yard.
He was sitting by the bed waiting for her.
Just like he remains upright and doesn't look around even in an unfamiliar environment, he is also very focused when waiting for people.
The manifestation of concentration is that you will not use books or other things to divert your attention, but just wait wholeheartedly.
Of course, he couldn't concentrate on reading at this moment, so there was no need to pretend.
So as soon as the bathroom door was opened, he turned his gaze over and immediately saw Ye Lai Ya wrapped in a towel.
"Come here, let me help you dry your hair."
Ye Manzhi walked silently to him in her slippers and felt a towel covering her hair.
Maybe it was because of the hot water, or maybe it was for some other reason, but her cheeks and neck were all burning. Wu Zhengrong helped her wipe her hair until it was half dry. When his fingers pressed on her scalp through the towel, her head felt numb as if it had been electrocuted, and she couldn't help but groan.
This soft moan seemed to have touched a switch. Wu Zhengrong threw the towel aside, picked her up and put her on the bed.
Ye Manzhi's feet jumped into the air and she nervously hugged his neck. The towel blanket she was holding in front of her also fell apart as she let go.
A bright red Soviet-style XX was revealed.
Wu Zhengrong lowered his eyes to confirm, "Changed?"
"Um."
The fabric of the previous one was too thick and it was a bit stuffy to wear in the summer, so after getting the sewing machine, she made a new one herself.
But she didn't have a stainless steel hook, so she used a simpler method instead.
Wu Zhengrong supported his arms above her, his expression and eyes more serious than when he was inspecting military products.
"Can I touch it?"
Ye Manzhi thought to himself, it’s already this time, if I say no, you won’t touch it!
But she felt inexplicably nervous, her breasts rising and falling with her rapid breathing. She squeezed out a light and thin "hmm" from her throat almost silently, and then she felt the bow in front of her body being neatly pulled open and loosened. Under the dim incandescent light, something white bounced out from it.
She listened to the heavier breathing above, closed her eyes as if to cover her ears and steal the bell, grabbed the tense arm at her side and asked, "They won't come back, right?"
"who?"
Wu Zhengrong's gaze swayed with her breathing.
Ye Manzhi opened her eyes and met his gaze, then covered her chest with her arms to prevent him from seeing her. "Oh, it's your comrades! Those stinky men!"
"I left long ago."
"They left before, but they sneaked back! Go check again!"
“…”
Wu Zhengrong took a deep breath, leaned over and kissed her lips, then got out of bed to check the doors and windows.
"Lock the door," Ye Manzhi instructed from her bed, "and close the windows too."
Wu Zhengrong followed every instruction and then returned to hear his comrade Xiao Ye say, "Turn off the lights too!"
"Can you please leave the lights on?"
Ye Manzhi pursed her lips and remained silent for a while, agreeing to his request not to turn off the lights.
However, when the man covered her again, she shook out the towel blanket from under her, covering both of them from head to toe.
"Laiya, the doors and windows are closed, and you're covered with a blanket. Aren't you afraid of the heat?"
"No."
Ye Manzhi was stubborn and put her arms around his increasingly tense back.
…
However, after the Su-style XX fell off, her insides were squeezed and wrapped, and she hid under the towel blanket and soon felt suffocated.
The swollen lips opened unconsciously, and the shoulders were pressed against the mattress as he gasped. The small space supported by the towel was filled with intertwined breathing and gurgling sounds.
Ye Manzhi opened the quilt a little, took a deep breath, and hugged his neck tightly again, her lips subconsciously searching for his earlobe.
As the breathing rate in his ear became faster and faster, Wu Zhengrong finally ignored her obstruction and tore off the troublesome towel and threw it to the ground.
Then he moved the slightly wet mattress aside and pushed the person to the other side of the bed.
The vision became brighter, and Ye Manzhi stared at the handsome face and neck in front of him, which was flushed, with beads of sweat dripping along the delicate chin.
She felt like a small boat in danger.
The waves crash against the shore and the current surges.
She could only put her legs high up and go with the flow.
Glancing at the place where he had just lain, Ye Manyzhi closed his eyes in shame again.
She would be too embarrassed to complain about the big bed Wu Zhengrong had built...
