Dai Guohua stepped on the brakes, Cheng Rushan opened the car door and jumped out, leaning over to catch Wensheng, Dabao and Xiaobao who were running over. He asked Wensheng to go to the back car and sent Dabao and Xiaobao up.
This time, Jiang Lin was sent on board before she had time to climb into the car, and he followed her in.
Dabao and Xiaobao couldn't wait to squeeze into his arms, vying to tell their father what had happened in the past few days.
With two little announcers, Jiang Lin didn't have to waste her words, and she found that Dabao was not as introverted as she had thought before. It depends on his mood and the person he likes. If it's someone he likes, he will talk a lot. Not to mention Xiaobao, he is a complete sweetie.
After being intimate for a while, Cheng Rushan handed Dabao and Xiaobao to Wensheng, and he put his arms around Jiang Lin's waist and let her lean on him.
Dabao and Xiaobao took Wensheng to play with little frogs in the car. The car was bumpy and jumping all the way, and the two children were sweating.
When they arrived at the entrance of Shuihuai Village, Dai Guohua stopped the car and helped Cheng Rushan take down his things, including the rice he bought for Cheng Rushan and some spices that were not available locally. The provincial capital has convenient transportation from east to west, north to south, and a canal passes through it, so the supplies are very abundant.
Cheng Rushan and his family waved goodbye to him. After Dai Guohua drove away, he put the rice on the kang and asked Wensheng to carry the other things.
Dabao and Xiaobao helped carry the snacks and candies, Jiang Lin helped him carry the bag, and the family went home.
When I met little kids on the road, they started drooling at the sight of the big and small kids holding candies.
Dabao said to Jiang Lin, "Mom, can I give them a piece?"
Jiang Lin smiled and said, "You decide for yourselves."
Xiaobao hurriedly said: "Don't give it to me!"
Dabao: "Now they don't scold, correct their mistakes, and praise them."
Xiaobao: “They didn’t give us any food.”
Dabao: “They didn’t.”
The two brothers grumbled for a while, and Xiaobao reluctantly let Dabao grab a few pieces and share them with them. He gave one piece to each of the ones he liked, one piece to two of the ones he didn't like, and he didn't give even half a piece to the ones he hated!
There were six children in total. The youngest son of Suotou’s family didn’t get it and cried loudly because of greed.
Xiaobao was immediately happy and said to Dabao, "It's more fun than beating him, haha."
Jiang Lin: “…”
When they got home, Vincent ran in first, "Grandpa and grandma, Dad is back."
Cheng Yunzhi and Yan Runzhi hurried out. Just then, Old Lady Shang, Qingxing and others were also doing needlework in the west wing. They came out when they heard what was going on.
Cheng Rushan greeted them and sent the things to the main room.
Dabao and Xiaobao gave each person in the family a piece of candy. When it came to Qingxing, he gave her two pieces and "gave one piece to Guoqing."
Qing Xing was a little shy, "Thank you."
Jiang Lin discovered that since Wensheng came, Dabao has become more sensible and acts like an older brother. He is still smart but no longer as prickly as before, and he is becoming more and more kind to people. This is a good thing.
She took out the money and distributed it to the old ladies of Shang.
Mrs. Shang was so happy that her teeth were exposed. "Dongsheng, wife, are you in such a hurry to give me money?"
Jiang Lin smiled and said, "I'll make money after I sell them." She took out her account book and said, "Every item is recorded here. I'll know who paid and who didn't."
"We trust you." Mrs. Shang was very happy.
Qing Xing held the one dollar she had earned, feeling a little overwhelmed. Apart from selling eggs, her family had no other income, so how could she have earned so much?
Some people don’t think much of a dollar, but to her, ten cents is a lot, as it can buy three eggs.
She remembered, "Jiang Zhiqing, my mother said she still owes you money."
Jiang Lin: "Take it for the first time. The money you owe is also settled here, so it won't be a big deal." Giving her the money will make her happy and she will do better next time.
When Mrs. Shang saw Cheng Rushan coming back, she exchanged a few words of greeting with him and then told everyone else to leave.
Because there were so many people, Yan Runzhi didn't keep her alone to talk. She just sent them out and went home.
Cheng Rushan was talking to Jiang Lin and others in the main room. Xiaobao was clinging to him and kissing him. "Dad, you don't know how much I miss you. I miss you so much that I can't even eat or sleep."
Jiang Lin: ... He is so tired from playing around every day. He feels sleepy after taking a walk after dinner. He falls asleep before he finishes telling a story. It means he can't sleep. Haha, you are kidding me.
Dabao and Wensheng brought snacks and candies to grandpa and grandma. Wensheng handed Jiang Lin a peanut biscuit and said, "Mom, you eat it."
Jiang Lin took it and gave it to Yan Runzhi, who was not used to eating such high-fat food. But at this time, people didn't have much fat in their stomachs, so eating this kind of snack was also very satisfying.
Cheng Yunzhi told Cheng Rushan about the compensation given by the brigade, the redress meeting, and the five acres of land. As for the fact that Wensheng had chopped Cheng Fugui, he did not tell him in front of the children, so he waited for Jiang Lin to tell him quietly. Cheng Rushan was sensitive and guessed that something had happened from what Cheng Yunzhi said.
Cheng Rushan stood up and said to Jiang Lin, "Let's go to the brigade."
Vincent, Dabao and Xiaobao wanted to follow immediately.
Jiang Lin: "You guys stay at home and listen to grandpa reading." She put the picture books, dictionaries, etc. she bought on the table and asked grandpa to take them to the study.
Xiaobao: "I want to follow Dad."
Cheng Rushan said with a smile: "Dad will come back to stay for a few days. Starting tomorrow, I will play with you every day."
Yan Runzhi: "My parents have to go do some serious work, and the children can't follow them."
Dabao whispered, "Is it about that thing?" He intuitively thought it was about his eldest brother chopping Cheng Fugui to pieces.
Jiang Lin didn't expect him to be so sensitive, and hurriedly said, "Yes, Dad will take care of it, and there will be no trouble."
Dabao immediately took Xiaobao and Wensheng's hands and said, "You two go ahead." He then said to Xiaobao, "Read the story, and then go out and tease them after you finish listening."
No other children told me so many stories. I wonder how much they wanted to hear them.
Xiaobao immediately perked up, "Okay, okay." They now tell stories to other children, who listen with great interest and become more and more friendly to them. Some of the children love it very much.
Wensheng glanced at Jiang Lin and Cheng Rushan and said, "Dad and Mom, please come back soon. I miss you so much."
Jiang Lin smiled and said, "Yes."
When she and Cheng Rushan went out, she told Cheng Rushan that Wensheng had suddenly changed into a different person. "The brigade cadres and educated youth helped, and the merchant grandma and Zeng Ganshi all supported us in making a big deal out of a small matter." If it weren't for so many people around him testifying and supporting him, Cheng Fugui would have been so desperate to make a scene, but the outcome might not have been so ideal.
This was also the benefit they gained from managing the relationship between the educated youth and the brigade, and she was grateful.
Cheng Rushan looked at her sideways, "Did my brother hurt you?"
Jiang Lin shook her head: "No, just to scare me? Dad said he wouldn't hurt his family."
Cheng Rushan: "That year he suddenly went crazy on the farm. Dad tried to stop him, but he had already lost his mind and pushed Dad into the mud. He has only known you for a short time. If he loses his mind again, just get out of the way and let him go."
Jiang Lin was stunned for a moment, then agreed, "I'll remember that. I don't know what provoked him to do that. Later, I used Cheng Fugui's name to provoke him, but he didn't react at all."
She knew very little about mental illnesses, such as psychosis, schizophrenia, split personality, etc. She only knew a little about them from TV. Moreover, TV dramas were not professional, so she did not make any judgments to avoid being misled.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything." Cheng Rushan held her hand. Even if she couldn't be cured, it wouldn't be worse than before.
Jiang Lin: "It's best to be happy like this." She felt Cheng Rushan slow down his pace and looked back at him, "Let's go."
Cheng Rushan pulled her into his arms, raised his hand to touch her cheek, and pressed her head against his shoulder, "Thank you for your hard work."
Jiang Lin: “…”
What are you doing all of a sudden? Are you still outside? She couldn't help laughing, "Stop making trouble, let's go."
Cheng Rushan lowered his eyes to look at her, "How did I make trouble? I just..." He lowered his head and kissed her forehead, "I want to kiss you."
Jiang Lin: "... Let's go."
After walking out of the alley, Jiang Lin pulled her hand back, and the two went to the brigade together.
The sun was setting in the west, and the red clouds filled the air, illuminating this busy, old yet lively village, making Jiang Lin feel like she had entered a painting.
When people saw them on the road, they greeted them warmly and attentively.
The Cheng family had been rehabilitated and were no longer bad elements but advanced ones. The county's senior officials came to the meeting to praise them, and the brigade officials showed respect to them. Ordinary people naturally followed suit. To them, the village officials were very important officials, and they only followed the brigade officials' lead.
Cheng Fujun was the secretary of the Yanghong Brigade. There were six production teams in Miaozi Village, so he was considered a full-time cadre and did not need to go to the fields every day. However, during the busy farming season, he basically went to the fields every day to direct and supervise. He also had to keep an eye on the cadres who went to the countryside to prevent them from not understanding the local agricultural conditions and giving blind instructions without any theoretical advice.
The production teams were most afraid that agricultural cadres from the commune or county would pretend to know everything and give blind orders, thus repeating the mistakes of the past.
When Jiang Lin and Cheng Rushan went to the brigade, they happened to meet Cheng Fujun who came back wearing waders. After greeting him, they went into the brigade house to talk.
Cheng Fujun smiled and said, "Dongsheng, you are now in the transportation business, which is great and a very respectable job."
Cheng Rushan smiled modestly, "Secretary, even if I joke, I am serving the people."
Cheng Fujun asked him if he had any opinions on the rehabilitation work and compensation.
Cheng Rushan: "This shows your sincerity. Thank you, Secretary and Captain. I am very satisfied."
Cheng Fujun was very happy when he said that. Although he had done the job before, Cheng Yunzhi didn't care about it. Jiang Lin was a woman, so Cheng Fujun felt that it was not so formal. He thought that it would be a perfect ending only after dealing with the man in their family. Now Cheng Rushan came to see him as soon as he got home. This was a respect for him, and Cheng Fujun felt very happy.
Talking about compensation, Cheng Rushan turned the topic to Cheng Ruzhou and thanked the brigade cadres for their protection and help.
Cheng Fujun said, "We must make this matter a minor one and not make a big fuss. Fortunately, Secretary Zhao didn't want to make things awkward, so he held a meeting and everyone was almost unanimous. It's just that... you know his temper, and they don't want to make peace. I heard that they are trying to arrest Ruzhou and put him in the provincial capital's mental hospital."
They had only heard of mental hospitals but had never seen them. Legend had it that they were very scary places, and adults would scare children by saying that they were taking them to a mental hospital.
Cheng Rushan: "Thank you, Secretary. I will explain this matter to the Revolutionary Committee. We also promise that my brother will not harm innocent people."
Jiang Lin also promised.
In fact, Wensheng never went out alone after he came back. He was either with Dabao, Xiaobao or Jiang Lin. He did not go crazy and beat people in the village. He learned from Dabao and Xiaobao to be innocent, polite, well-dressed, and did not pee on himself. Except for his age, he was just a six or seven-year-old child, so many people took the initiative to testify for him that day.
Some adults in the village avoided him because they didn't know him, but the children liked him. After all, he was different from those crazy people who beat and sweared at others.
Cheng Fujun also reminded Cheng Rushan and Jiang Lin: "Jiang Zhiqing exposed his past that day, and he may bear a grudge against you. You must be careful."
Jiang Lin had previously told Cheng Rushan about how he had exposed Cheng Fugui's past to divert attention, and he said, "Thank you, Secretary. I will solve this problem."
After talking about this, Jiang Lin talked to Cheng Fujun about the brick factory.
Repairing the roof and helping to lay tiles can be considered as helping each other, and it is not a matter of a few cents. However, opening a brick and tile factory is not something that one person can do. So Jiang Lin wanted to discuss with Cheng Fujun whether they could open a sideline business in the name of the brigade. She was willing to invest money and participate in the management. Many sideline businesses in the village do not have legal procedures. They are opened by themselves as they wish, and generally no one cares. If the higher authorities investigate, they will be closed at will.
Influenced by the modern business model, Jiang Lin first makes things legal and then seeks development.
Cheng Fujun was not very interested, as the brigade's sideline business was not that easy to run. He had learned before that the sideline business of many villages' brigades closed down within two years. There were many reasons, the biggest of which was that the brigade cadres all wanted to get involved and arranged for their family members to be factory cadres. Everyone wanted to take advantage but did not work. After the products were made, they were divided up before they were sold, or they were used as favors. In the end, there were only a few people working, and they all wanted to get benefits. It would be strange if they didn't make money.
Cheng Fujun understood clearly that working in the brigade factory was more troublesome than working in the fields as a group, and he was not going to do such a thankless job.
"You want to run a brick and tile factory, the brigade supports it." Cheng Fujun said, "Just open it in the name of the brigade, you have the final say, sell it to your own village at a discount of one or two cents, which will also be a benefit to our own brigade."
If you want to open a large factory that makes bricks and tiles with machines, you can't do it without 50,000 yuan. He estimated that Jiang Lin would just open a cement tile, small brick kiln, or tile kiln, and the output would not be too high, with four or five helpers at most.
This is similar to making bricks at home to build a house. It is not considered a factory and there is no one from above to manage it. And with the name of the brigade, it is even safer.
He didn't need to work hard. The village had a brick and tile factory, and the members' houses were improved and their lives improved. These were all his political achievements and reputation, so he supported it.
He said, "Don't worry, there's a big team here, so it's no problem."
When we left the brigade, it was getting dark and the members were all returning from work.
Cheng Rushan took Jiang Lin for a walk by the river, telling her not to worry about Wensheng or Cheng Fugui. "I'll go to the county in the next two days and talk about what happened back then. It was because Cheng Fugui was lucky that he didn't get punished. Now the wind has changed, and he may not be so lucky again."
Besides, he never gives in to luck and always does what he wants to do.
Jiang Lin: "It is necessary to bring it up again, so that he will not continue to regard himself as a staunch proletarian revolutionary."
Because he came back, her tense nerves relaxed and she followed him for a walk along the river, chatting and laughing.
The moon had not yet risen, and a few bright stars were emitting gentle light in the western sky. He stopped and held her hand.
"I have to go out in a few days. Do you want me to go home with you?" He lowered his eyes and looked at her, "Bring Dabao and Xiaobao to let grandpa and grandma take a look at them."
The implication is that the son-in-law also wants to meet his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and he doesn't want to go rashly, so naturally he wants Jiang Lin's consent.
Jiang Lin was a little hesitant. She wrote to them, but they didn't write back. What did that mean? If they had any objections to her, wouldn't she feel uncomfortable going back? So she decided to write a letter and ask about the situation. She didn't want Cheng Rushan and Dabao and Xiaobao to be treated unfairly.
Her hesitation made Cheng Rushan's eyes dim. It seemed that she didn't want to take him and the child back to see her parents.
"Then it's okay to wait for a while. I have to go to the provincial capital anyway." His voice was still gentle, without any trace of the coldness and hardness in front of her.
Jiang Lin hesitated for a moment and said, "I think we'd better take Wensheng with us and find a big hospital to have him checked out. I want to write a letter to my parents in advance, and we'll make arrangements after we receive their reply. Anyway, it won't cost half a month or a month."
Hearing her say this, Cheng Rushan's depression was blown away. His hand moved up along her wrist, held her shoulder, lifted her chin with one hand, and lowered his head to kiss her.
Jiang Lin did not reject him, but her legs became weak from his kiss and she subconsciously raised her hands to hook them around his neck.
Her action was tantamount to an invitation, which made him more involved. He clasped the back of her head with his big hands and kissed her closely.
The night breeze blew across the water, blowing their clothes, but the ambiguous atmosphere made it quiet. When the moon rose, the water surface was bright, and grass insects began to chirp.
After a long while, he let go of her, helped her straighten her clothes, and said in a low, slightly hoarse voice with a smile, "Go home for dinner."
Jiang Lin's face flushed and burned, "Let's go." As soon as she took a step, she tripped. Cheng Rushan quickly hugged her and picked her up, smiling and helping her out, "The light here is not good."
He carried her back to the village. Although the moon had risen, no one's face could be seen three steps away. He did not put her down and carried her all the way home.
Jiang Lin buried her face in his chest, listening to his steady heartbeat, and felt it was magical. A kiss could make one's legs go weak and one's mind go haywire. She had never felt this way before.
Is it because his skills are too advanced, or is there some inexplicable principle?
When she heard the door open, she came back to her senses. He actually wanted to carry her home! She quickly signaled Cheng Rushan to put her down.
Cheng Rushan smiled and said, "What are you afraid of when you go home?"
"Put me down quickly and don't let them see me." Jiang Lin was extremely anxious.
Cheng Rushan finally gave up and put her down against the screen wall. The voices of Wensheng, Dabao and Xiaobao came from the yard.
"Why haven't mom and dad come back yet? Go check at the door."
Vincent came out holding a lantern, followed closely by Dabao and Xiaobao, making a lot of noise.
"Coming, coming!" Jiang Lin said quickly and walked quickly into the light.
Dabao: "Brother was afraid that mom would be captured by bad guys, so he had to come out to see."
Xiaobao: "Brother, we said we are not afraid anymore since we have a father."
Vincent scratched his head. Who on earth said he wanted to come out to look for his parents?
Cheng Rushan stepped forward, put his arm around his shoulders, and rubbed the back of his neck, "What happened in the past will never happen again, don't be afraid."
Vincent looked back at him and smiled, "Dad, what are you talking about?"
Cheng Rushan: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand, just remember it, and no one will dare to arrest your mother again."
Vincent smiled happily, "Dad, you are awesome!"
Cheng Rushan patted his back and said, "Let's go eat."
In the evening, Yan Runzhi and Cheng Yunzhi discussed making steamed rice. Rice was not produced locally, and they had never made it before. So they used the method of stewing sauce, washed the rice, added appropriate amount of water, and stewed it in an enamel pot. In addition, they made fried eggplant boxes stuffed with leeks and pork, and also stewed a pot of bacon, dried bamboo shoots, cabbage and vermicelli.
The commune slaughtered pigs during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Cheng Yunzhi went to get half a pound of pigs. They still had two pounds left this month, and they planned to wait until Dabao and Xiaobao’s eighteenth birthdays to get another pound to make dumplings.
Yan Runzhi first served Jiang Lin a large bowl of white rice.
Cheng Yunzhi refused to take it, saying, "I don't think this will fill me up." Having eaten it on the farm, he always felt that it was not as filling as steamed corn bread.
Yan Runzhi smiled and said, "If you are not full, you can eat steamed corn bread. No one will stop you from eating." She gave each of them half a bowl to try.
Dabao: "Wow, so sweet."
Xiaobao: "Is it sweet? Let me try."
Wensheng took a look, studied it, then picked it up with his hands, kneaded it into a steamed bun, and stuffed it in one bite.
Jiang Lin: “…” There’s nothing wrong with eating rice balls this way.
When Dabao and Xiaobao saw this, they immediately followed suit and grabbed some and put them in their mouths.
Yan Runzhi: "Come, I'll wrap some meat for you guys, it'll be delicious when you eat it."
So with the help of Yan Runzhi, the three of them packed meat, vegetables, pickles, onions, sugar and sesame seeds and ate with great pleasure.
Seeing that Jiang Lin was happy to eat rice, Cheng Rushan gave her his bowl.
"Eat it, it's delicious." Jiang Lin let him have a taste.
Cheng Rushan: "I want to eat noodles." After living in the south for several years, he has no interest in eating rice every day.
Seeing that he really didn't want to eat, Jiang Lin put some of the food into her own bowl. She also made a few rice balls, stuffed meat inside, rolled them in sesame seeds, and ate them one by one.
Wensheng: “Ah——” Jiang Lin fed one. Dabao and Xiaobao also immediately “Ah——” begging for more food. Jiang Lin fed her son and gave one to Cheng Rushan.
Eating a meal is like playing, no matter who you are, as long as you are happy.
Cheng Yunzhi: "Who knows that every grain of rice on the plate is the result of hard work? Look, now it is every grain of rice."
Every time he told Dabao and Xiaobao about Tang poems and words, the two children, especially Xiaobao, would argue with him. When he talked about the poem "Minnong", he said, "Isn't it that every grain of rice on the plate is the result of hard work? Our steamed corn bread is not just one grain at a time." Cheng Yunzhi said that "every grain" refers to the grains of crops harvested in the fields, such as wheat, sorghum, and beans. Xiaobao deliberately misinterpreted it. At this moment, Cheng Yunzhi saw the rice and told them the story.
Xiaobao laughed.
After dinner, Dabao and Xiaobao asked their parents to play multiplayer games with them, such as "Eagle Catches Chicken". In the past, they were extremely envious when they saw others playing without them, but now they have grandpa, grandma, parents, and eldest brother as a family, so they have enough to play with.
At first they let Jiang Lin be the mother hen and Cheng Rushan be the eagle. As a result, he caught all the chicks one by one in his hands, and finally even took the mother hen into his nest.
Wensheng, Dabao and Xiaobao were so happy that they jumped up and down, "Dad is the hen and mom is the eagle."
Cheng Yunzhi and Yan Runzhi followed along for a few rounds, but their legs and feet couldn't take it anymore, so they sat down to the side and watched the fun.
Yan Runzhi took his arm and leaned her head on his shoulder, "This is great."
Cheng Yunzhi gently rubbed her rough calloused hands and said with pity, "I will work hard and try to stay with you for two more years."
Yan Runzhi patted him and said, "Don't talk nonsense. With a son, daughter-in-law and grandson like you, you can live to be a hundred years old."
Over there, Jiang Laoying couldn't catch a chick for a long time. He thought he could easily catch Dabao and Xiaobao, but he didn't know that these two were so cunning. One of them hung on Cheng Rushan's thigh, and the other was carried by Wensheng and ran away like a gust of wind.
Jiang Laoying was sweating all over. He bent over, propped up his legs, and panted heavily. "Oh, I'm so tired. I can't catch the chicks. I'm starving to death."
When Xiao Bao heard this, he let go of Cheng Rushan's thigh and ran to Jiang Lin. He tilted his little face, stared with his big black eyes, and smiled, "Then you can eat me."
Jiang Lin smiled and picked him up, "Don't regret it. I can eat you in two bites." She turned Xiaobao around twice. The moon above her head was as bright as a lamp, shining brightly, and her laughter echoed in the yard like a silver bell.
"No, I'm going to faint." She quickly stopped. Cheng Rushan opened his arms and wrapped them around her, and lifted Xiaobao down.
Jiang Lin: "Why am I hungry? I need to take a rest and not digest too much." A stomach without oil and water cannot resist hunger.
Everyone was amused by her and started laughing again.
Yan Runzhi: "There are still a few eggplant boxes, do you want to eat some?"
Jiang Lin waved her hand: "No, I just need to exercise less."
Cheng Rushan brought his two sons closer to her and whispered, "I think you still eat well."
Jiang Lin: “Why?”
He had already turned to one side, and had turned more than ten times, and the two brothers were dizzy. Cheng Rushan put them down, and they were staggering.
Wensheng brought the Journey to the West comic book over and showed it to Cheng Rushan: "Dad, this!" Cheng Rushan followed him to the main hall door to look at it under the light, and it turned out to be Sun Wukong doing a handstand. Wensheng was very excited and wanted to do this and that, but he couldn't stand up. "Dad, can you do it?"
Dabao and Xiaobao also crawled over dizzy, "Dad, give one!"
Cheng Rushan: "Are you guys playing with monkeys?"
Jiang Lin: "Little monkey, come here."
Cheng Rushan pulled her over, kissed her quickly, and then let her go.
Jiang Lin: “!!”
Wensheng, Dabao and Xiaobao had already attracted Cheng Rushan's attention. They lined up and squatted on the ground to watch Cheng Rushan stand on one hand. He supported himself with his left hand, his arm gradually straightened, his body tensed, and his legs straightened to the sky.
The three of them clapped their hands, "Dad is awesome!"
Cheng Rushan supported himself on the ground with one palm, and began to bend his arms and push up, one, two, three, which made the three young men cheer for him.
Vincent reached out and high-fived him, and Dabao and Xiaobao followed suit.
Cheng Rushan reached out his hand to Jiang Lin, who smiled and shook her head, "No way."
Cheng Rushan: "Come here, I won't kiss you."
Jiang Lin smiled and pinched his nose, "Cheng little monkey, you are quite good at showing off." Suddenly, a big hand grabbed her waist, and her whole body spun around, and she was unexpectedly caught by Cheng Rushan and fell over.
“Ahhh—”
Jiang Lin screamed and fell into Cheng Rushan's arms. He stood firmly on the ground, lowered his head and looked at her with a smile, "What are you afraid of? I can't let you fall."
The bright moonlight fell on her face, white and bright, and her clear eyes were sparkling and charming. His heart was moved, and he smiled softly: "Go to bed early." Then he helped her straighten up.
Jiang Lin calmed her pounding heart and clapped her hands, "You guys, hurry up and take a shower and go to bed."
They used the small room on the south side of the west wing as a shower room. There was a wall and a palm-sized yard there, which was just right for a bathroom.
Wensheng immediately took Dabao and Xiaobao and ran over to take a bath. Yan Runzhi had already boiled some hot water and mixed it with warm water so they could take a bath directly.
When they finished washing and went to bed, Jiang Lin also hurried to wash. When she ran back to the room in her nightgown, she was surprised to find that Dabao and Xiaobao were not there.
She was just wondering when she heard a hissing sound coming from the west room. Eh? She leaned over to look through the crack in the door. Cheng Rushan was lying on the edge of the kang, with Wensheng, Dabao and Xiaobao facing him head to head. Cheng Yunzhi and Yan Runzhi both leaned over curiously. The six heads gathered in a circle, fiddling with something.
Jiang Lin soon found out that they were tinkering with a radio, a very... primitive one, a radio assembled by someone else that Cheng Rushan bought from a cadre.
I don’t know which channel it was tuned to, but then I heard “Ding-da, ding-da, the little loudspeaker starts broadcasting” and everyone on the kang immediately cheered.
Cheng Rushan: "The radio is in grandma's room. If you want to listen to it, you have to sleep here. Who wants to listen to it?"
They all raised their hands to indicate that they wanted to listen. Xiaobao said: "I will listen to the radio first, and then I will go to sleep with my mother."
Cheng Rushan smiled and ruffled his hair. "Go lie there and listen. There will be singing soon."
Vincent, Dabao and Xiaobao immediately lay down and began to listen to the songs coming from the radio. As expected, they fell asleep in a few minutes.
As long as they relax and want to sleep, they fall asleep almost in seconds. Sure enough, before Jiang Lin counted to 30, Xiaobao and Dabao were already fast asleep.
Jiang Lin: “…”
Yan Runzhi smiled and said, "Oh, you still have a solution." She signaled Cheng Rushan to leave quickly.
Cheng Rushan turned around and went out, and saw Jiang Lin's back slipping into the bedroom. He went to wash up and take a shower. When he came back, Jiang Lin had made two quilts, intending to compete with each other.
He was wearing shorts and a vest, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. He was lean and had beautiful and smooth muscles, which contained endless power. One look at him would make people blush and their hearts beat faster. He wiped his hair casually twice, and the water droplets flowed into his vest along the beautiful curve of his neck, which was particularly tempting. Jiang Lin stole a glance. In fact, his skin was very white, especially the white and delicate places where the sun could not reach. She really wanted to touch it to feel how it felt.
"If you don't dry your hair, be careful of getting a headache." Jiang Lin took her towel and asked him to face away from the edge of the kang while she helped him dry his hair.
She knelt on the edge of the kang to wipe his hair and noticed a scar on his left shoulder that extended from his back. Although it had healed long ago, it was particularly obvious because of his fair skin and it made her heart skip a beat.
He turned around to face her, "It's too ugly, don't look at it."
Jiang Lin's throat felt a little dry, and she pursed her lips, "Does it hurt?"
Cheng Rushan put his arms around her slender waist and looked up at her, "Kiss it and it won't hurt."
Jiang Lin's heart trembled, and she bent down to kiss him. But before she could kiss his lips, he hugged her and pressed her down. After she rolled around, he followed her onto the kang.
He supported himself on his elbows and looked down at her, his deep black eyes full of smiles, "Don't feel sorry for me, I'm not that fragile."
Jiang Lin was frightened by his gaze, and bit her lip subconsciously, wanting to say "blow out the lights" or "please close your eyes", but her lips were covered and sucked by him. His kiss was like him, seemingly calm but with surging power, seemingly fierce but with a unique tenderness, making people indulge in it.
She was so kissed by him that she didn't know what day it was. She wanted him to blow out the lights, but he insisted on looking at her in the light.
Looking at a beauty under the light is an extreme tenderness. The light makes her more shy and she is dyed with the halo of rose, which makes her extremely beautiful.
She waited for his visit, but he used great perseverance and patience to give her ample time to prepare. She twisted slightly, suggesting that he could do it.
He stared at her intently, his voice hoarse, "Jiang Lin."
"Um?"
"Who am I?" he asked.
Jiang Lin was a little confused at first, but now she is awake. Something is wrong...
"Jiang Lin, who am I?" He was relentless, pressing his lips against the corner of her lips, breathing slowly, and demanding her answer.
You are a big-tailed wolf, you are an invincible little bully, you are a man who can resist without getting tempted...
Jiang Lin couldn't help but smile evilly.
Cheng Rushan opened his mouth and bit her lightly as a punishment.
Jiang Lin frowned, her eyes looking angry, "Cheng Rushan, you, ah——"
He lowered his waist and took possession of her completely. Please remember my name, never forget it, and never call it wrong again.
At first Jiang Lin thought that the two were evenly matched and could fight each other without losing face. But later she found out that this guy just started!
Every time she couldn't bear it anymore and begged for mercy, he would coax her into calling his name, but she found that it was pure deception, and her calling his name only made him more excited and he couldn't stop!
Finally, she couldn't bear it any longer and begged him, "Cheng Rushan, please spare my life~~"
She was still young and didn't want to die in bed from overindulgence.
He laughed softly, and the vibration coming from his chest was extremely sexy. "It's okay. I'll give you my life."
Jiang Lin: ...Please have pity on me, I am really fragile.
She looked out the window at the moon rising to the zenith, then watched it move westward... She was so tired and sleepy!
Who the hell knows if you sleep with a man who has been abstinent for too long?
When Jiang Lin woke up the next day, she found the house was quiet and there was no movement at all. She looked at herself and was clean and fresh, wearing a vest and shorts, which should have been washed by Cheng Rushan for her to wear.
She quickly got up, dressed neatly, went downstairs, quietly opened the door and looked out, but there was no one outside.
She immediately opened the door and walked out, quickly going to wash up. The sun outside was already... very high. Judging from its height, it must be at least three poles high.
I guess we can have lunch in another hour.
She went back to the main room and felt around. There was still rice in the pot for her. It wasn't hot, but it wasn't cold either. She lifted the pot and saw a bowl of egg custard, some white flour rolls, and some eggplant boxes. She quickly brought them out and put them on the table. She sat down to eat by herself, thinking that she would finish eating quickly and go out. When they came back, she could say that she had already eaten and was busy outside before returning.
While eating, the courtyard door rang. Jiang Lin quickly picked up the rice basket and placed it on the cupboard.
Cheng Rushan strode in from outside, saw her eating, and smiled, "You must be starving. I asked you to eat the eggplant box last night, but you refused."
Jiang Lin gritted her teeth and gave him a fierce look. In Cheng Rushan's opinion, she was seducing him.
"Where have you all been?" she asked.
Cheng Rushan: "I'll go help you lay the tiles. Dad and mom are going to the team to peel corn."
Now people are picking corn. Some people are picking it and carrying it to the field, while others are husking it in the field.
Jiang Lin breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, no one knew that she slept until noon.
Cheng Rushan reached out and touched her face, causing her to glare at him. "Cheng Rushan, don't touch me all the time. It's not good for others to see."
Cheng Rushan looked at his hands and said, "I'm sorry, I can't control myself."
He didn't know why, but he was addicted to touching her, as if he would be sorry if he didn't touch her little face. He couldn't resist the wonderful and satisfying feeling that came from touching her. He didn't understand, so he just followed his heart. After all, she was his wife, so touching her wouldn't be a crime.
Jiang Lin rolled her eyes at him and said, "You have skin hunger."
Cheng Rushan was curious: "Is it a disease?"
Jiang Lin nodded: "Yes, he is seriously ill."
Cheng Rushan sat next to her and said with a smile: "Then ask my wife to save my life. Anyway, my life is given to you, you can do whatever you want."
Jiang Lin looked at him seriously. She found this man to be quite remarkable. He said something in a serious manner, and it made people feel very useful. She quickly finished her meal, cleaned up, and pretended that she had gotten up early and had breakfast. "Whose turn is it this morning? I'll go over right away."
Cheng Rushan: "It's afternoon, don't go. At worst you can tell your parents that you just came back." After saying that, he smiled.
Jiang Lin's thoughts were revealed by him and her face turned red. She reached out to twist his waist, but she couldn't move any flesh. It was really hateful that she twisted his face.
Cheng Rushan was neither annoyed nor resisting. He even deliberately cooperated by puffing up his cheeks for her to pinch.
Jiang Lin actually thought he was a little cute and couldn't help but kiss him, but he held her down and kissed her back.
After a while, he helped her sit up and said seriously, "I'm going to the county revolutionary committee this afternoon. Are you going?"
Jiang Lin shook her head, "I'm fine, you go by yourself."
She knew that he must be running around for Vincent's affairs and not for fun, so she naturally wouldn't follow him.
After a while, Yan Runzhi came back to cook. Seeing Jiang Lin at home, she smiled and said, "Baoer's mother is back. Is there anything special you want to eat?"
Jiang Lin pretended to be calm and said, "Mom, do you have any tender corn? Would you like to share it with us? If so, bring it back and we can cook it."
Yan Runzhi: "Your father and the others will bring him back later."
Jiang Lin: "I'll go take a look." She ran away immediately.
Yan Runzhi just laughed.
Cheng Rushan came out of the bathroom and saw his mother smiling so slyly, so he coughed to remind her.
Yan Runzhi glanced at him and said, "Dongsheng, it's not easy."
Cheng Rushan: "It's not difficult."
Yan Runzhi: “Haha.”
Cheng Rushan: "Mom, I'll take you to the provincial capital for fun in a while."
Yan Runzhi became excited: "Are you going to meet the in-laws? Sure, I'll remember that. I'll go find two little roosters these two days and bring them back to raise. Then I'll bring them over when the time comes."
In addition to cooking corn at noon, Yan Runzhi also tried to make a corn pancake, which was sprinkled with sugar and was an excellent dessert, but it was a little less. Cheng Yunzhi and Cheng Rushan would definitely not eat the children's snacks, they just ate.
Xiaobao likes it very much. He plays tricks on Vincent and Dabao, “This tortilla is a little short.”
Both of them: "It's delicious."
Xiaobao: "Boiled corn is also delicious."
The two of them hummed.
Xiaobao: "You guys eat boiled corn. Next time grandma makes it, I'll give it to you guys, okay?"
Vincent and Dabao looked at each other, and Dabao hesitated.
Xiaobao: "Dabao, didn't you say you wanted to give me the candy?"
Dabao gave him all the corn cakes and said, "Okay."
Xiaobao immediately started eating it with great relish; it was so sweet and fragrant!
Jiang Lin: "..." She immediately took a large piece and ate it, "So sweet!"
Xiaobao was shocked and felt so aggrieved, "Mom, you are not being good~~" You were not allowed to eat candy, but you even snatched the corn cake with sugar. I clearly had boiled corn for you to eat.
Jiang Lin grinned, "Xiaobao, you are good~~" She even broke off a piece and stuffed it into Cheng Rushan's mouth.
Vincent and Dabao ate the boiled corn with a helpless look on their faces. Mm, it was so sweet!
