Chapter 197: Nineteen Ninety-Seven (1)
Ten years passed in the blink of an eye and it was 1997.
The construction of Lingxi Oasis is becoming more and more perfect.
——The area of Lingxi Lake is getting bigger and bigger.
Because Jiang Hongzhi and others paid great attention to the protection of water sources more than ten years ago. The water of Lingxi Lake is crystal clear, and the fish are fat and the clams are beautiful. Not only does it bring a lot of catch to the villagers every year, but many migratory birds also like to choose to stop over here during the winter.
——The oasis area has exceeded 10,000 square kilometers!
Other oasis research bases also adopted Lingxi Oasis's seedling cultivation method early on. Although the green area is not as developed as Lingxi Oasis, the effect is not bad. The area of desert is slowly decreasing.
——The government built wide roads.
Due to the good greening of Lingxi Oasis and the high output of greenhouse crops, not only has a lot of foreign trade orders been completed, but the vegetable supply in nearby towns, villages and even the county town also all depends on Lingxi Oasis. To facilitate the passage of transport vehicles, the government not only built roads, but also opened buses and gas stations.
——Lingxi Oasis has electricity and telephone lines have been laid.
——At the government’s instruction, the water company laid underground water pipes.
Ten years ago, if most nearby units wanted to use water, they had to send water tankers to fill and transport water. Doing so will not only consume a large amount of gasoline, but once the water tank is broken or leaking, the loss cost will be even higher.
Now nearby satellite cities, construction corps and other units have access to tap water, how convenient it is!
…
The country's economic development is now in good shape. Not only have the oases undergone earth-shaking changes, but the economies of coastal cities are also developing rapidly!
Many young people in the mainland want to try their luck.
The loss of young and strong labor force in the oasis is also more serious.
On this day, Zhou Chunni had an argument with Jiang Hongzhi at home.
Jiang Hongzhi was very angry, "...There are three little ones at home, and you just don't care about them?"
Zhou Chunni, "What do you mean I don't care about them? Haven't I taken care of them enough over the years? I'm telling you, Jiang Hongzhi, I wanted to go out to work a long time ago. I stayed at home because the children were still young!"
"Now the youngest Junjun is in high school and is boarding in town. Why can't I go out to work? Besides, I'm not going alone. Honghong and I are going together..." Zhou Chunni refused to give in.
Jiang Hongzhi was a little shocked, "Honghong is going too?"
He and Zhou Chunni have four children. The eldest daughter, Honghong, is 25 years old this year. She got married three years ago and gave birth to a son named Mumu, who is two years old this year.
Jiang Hongzhi's other three sons, Weiguo is 22 years old this year, Weijia is 18 years old this year, and Weijun is 16 years old this year...
Now Zhou Chunni says that she wants to go out to work with Honghong, who just gave birth to a child?
Jiang Hongzhi asked again, "Does Liangliang have any objections? Does Liangliang's mother-in-law have any objections?"
Zhou Chunni replied, "It was Liangliang's grandmother who brought this up. She said she is not old and in good health, so she can help them take care of Mumu. She asked me and Honghong to go out first and if the situation is good, Liangliang will go out next year too."
Jiang Hongzhi, "Then why didn't she let you take Mumu with you? She went out to try it out on her own. If the situation was good..."
At this point, Jiang Hongzhi regretted his decision and said, "Even if the situation is good, you can't go!"
Zhou Chunni was stunned, "Why?"
Jiang Hongzhi was also stunned and asked her, "…why?"
Zhou Chunni, "I am asking you, why can't I go out to work? I am not old, less than 50 years old, and my children are grown up. They don't need me to follow them around and take care of their three meals a day, clothes and warmth..."
"Besides, Weiguo is getting married soon. Doesn't the bride price cost money? And Weijia, he is the first college student in our family. Doesn't he have to pay for tuition and living expenses? And Junjun, he just started high school. There will be plenty of places to spend money in the future..."
Jiang Hongzhi interrupted her, "Don't I have a salary? Weiguo also has a salary!"
Zhou Chunni, "Only because of your monthly salary of 350 yuan? Yes, Weiguo also has a salary, but he only makes 200 yuan. I also have a salary if I stay here, and I also make more than 200 yuan... But you, the boss, do you know how much Hua Fugui makes a month? He has been working outside for more than ten years, and now he is a sergeant... He earns more than 1,000 yuan a month!"
Jiang Hongzhi was stunned.
He clenched his fists.
Zhou Chunni continued, "Boss, this is what I think... I won't be gone for too long. I'll be back before Weiguo gets married, so it'll only be three years at most. After three years, I'll be back, and we'll hold a grand wedding for Weiguo!"
"During the three years I've been working away from home, don't worry about the Wei family's tuition and living expenses. I'll send the money to them! Save your salary, live on your own, and give Junjun a little every month..."
Jiang Hongzhi's fist loosened again, "But..."
Zhou Chunni added, "Actually, I know you will definitely not agree to my going out to find a job. After all, if other young people in the village want to go out to work, you will have to persuade them... But with just your salary, and we have so many children, how can we support them?"
Jiang Hongzhi looked at her quietly.
Zhou Chunni, "Unless the Wei family doesn't go to college... His tuition is more than 2,000 yuan per semester, plus living expenses, it will cost more than 500 yuan a month..."
"That's absolutely not possible!"
Jiang Hongzhi said firmly, "That's the university that the Wei family worked so hard to get into. He'll be a sophomore in the second half of the year, and we've already paid for half of it... If we just work hard for a few more years, we'll be able to make it! How can we give up halfway?"
Zhou Chunni, "Then let Junjun not go to high school? Although he doesn't spend much now, he still needs to be given 100 yuan a month for food... What if he is admitted to university in the future? It's already difficult for us to support the Wei family's schooling..."
Jiang Hongzhi said loudly: "It's a good thing that the children are willing to go to school! No matter whether it's the Wei family or the Wei army, as long as they are willing to go to school, I will support them even if I have to sell all my property!"
"Where does the money come from?" Zhou Chunni asked directly.
Jiang Hongzhi misfired.
"I'm incompetent," he said dejectedly, "... Not only am I the village chief, I'm also the president of an import and export company, but I only make a little over 300 yuan a month... I can't even support my wife and children!"
Zhou Chunni felt a little reluctant and said softly, "This is not your fault! Head of the family, you have made great contributions! Just think about how poor this place was back then... You, Taotao, and Caizhu led everyone to build the oasis... Now we are indeed not hungry, but young people want to go out and see the world, and I... want to make life better for my family."
"We have already spent all our money on Honghong's wedding. Now Weiguo is going to get married, and we will have to make great efforts again! Head of the family, you can't rely on yourself for this family. While I am still young, go out to work for a few years. When I am old and can't work anymore, I..."
Jiang Hongzhi remained silent.
Zhou Chunni said softly: "Actually, I know everything. I was the one who forced you to marry me... You didn't like me in the first place."
"I don't dislike you!" Jiang Hongzhi said in a muffled voice.
Zhou Chunni smiled, "You can't fool me! Back then, I was... I had no ability at all but I thought I was the daughter of a landlord, blaming the heavens, the earth, and the world, thinking that everyone had wronged me. Now when I think about it, even I hate myself! Later..."
At this point, Zhou Chunni smiled, "Later, thanks to Honghong and your kindness... I was able to live a good life little by little. Head of the family, I know you too well! You resented and hated me at the beginning, but out of responsibility, you still treated me well."
"Later, Taotao became my guide. She helped Qingjuan and I get better. It was from that time that you began to...really accept me, right? Thanks to your support, I was able to believe in myself...Otherwise, who would dare to believe that a 30-year-old middle-aged woman, who was illiterate, could obtain a self-taught diploma from a normal college through self-study, and even pass the teacher qualification exam to become a substitute teacher!"
"To be honest, I still don't believe it...I didn't know I was so powerful!" Zhou Chunni's eyes were red.
Jiang Hongzhi, "You are already very good!"
After a pause, he whispered, "Don't look at me as an educated youth. In fact, I am the stupidest one. I was tricked by my younger brother into going to the countryside to work as a sent-down youth. I went to Ruyi Village, and lost to Bai Dongsheng in the competition for the worker-peasant-soldier student position! However, Bai Dongsheng is my first teacher in life... He taught me that no matter how I conduct myself or how I do business, I must always be down-to-earth!"
"After arriving at Lingzhou, I worked day and night without paying attention to the method. I wasted a lot of time. It was not until Taotao was assigned here... and because of her advice, I realized for the first time that being diligent alone is useless! I must find the right method."
"But now, I am over fifty years old, and I ask myself, I have never had a single day of relaxation in my life. But why... can't I keep the young people in the village? Even, I can't keep my own wife!" Jiang Hongzhi was a little dejected.
Zhou Chunni said quickly: "Master, you can't say that! I went out to work to reduce your burden and let my family live a better life... Besides, we are only separated for three years. After three years, I will definitely come back to marry Weiguo..."
At this point, she smiled playfully, "Or are you actually reluctant to let me go out and suffer?"
Jiang Hongzhi's face turned red, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
He ignored her again, put his hands behind his back, and prepared to go into the inner room.
"Then I'll take it as your agreement!" Zhou Chunni shouted loudly.
Jiang Hongzhi still felt reluctant.
I always feel that those who go out to work are young people. What can you, a woman in her forties, do? They are not as physically strong as others, their reactions are not as quick as others... no matter what position they are in, eight or nine out of ten times they cannot compete with young people.
Of course, it’s not impossible to compete, but it may require a lot of energy and physical strength.
Wouldn't it be better for her to stay at home?
At least we still have him. Even if the sky falls... he will be there to support it!
But Jiang Hongzhi couldn't say no.
He and Zhou Chunni have been married for more than 20 years and have witnessed the growth of both of them.
He watched her, from a pretentious, sensitive and good-for-nothing girl, first become the mother of his child, and then, with Taotao's encouragement, take care of the child while doing housework, doing farm work and studying at the same time... Finally, when she was in her thirties, she successfully solved the problem of illiteracy and even obtained a diploma to become a substitute teacher!
His wife is a woman with ideas and is very persistent.
She wanted to go out to work in order to build a better home...
How could he refuse?
Jiang Hongzhi was reluctant to let his wife leave, but he could not stop her. Zhou Chunni felt guilty, but insisted on going out to work...
The couple had a quarrel.
Lan Caizhu was the first to discover it and ran to tell Taotao.
Taotao found a time to talk to Zhou Chunni first, and then to Jiang Hongzhi, "Brother, Chunni said she wants to go out to work, what do you think?"
Jiang Hongzhi, "Her legs are on her body. If she wants to leave, can I tie her up with a rope?"
Then he started to complain, "When young people in the village wanted to go out to work, I would bring a small stool to their homes and sit there, trying to persuade them for an hour or so... I may not be able to persuade all of them, but at least some of them listened and decided not to leave! Now even my wife is leaving, isn't this a slap in my face? And I'm still slapping them..."
Taotao smiled.
"Actually, I think this is a good thing!" Taotao said.
Jiang Hongzhi's eyes widened.
Tao Tao, "At least she came to discuss it with you seriously, instead of just leaving a note and running away..."
Jiang Hongzhi: "Just for that little bit of money, we threw all our original ideals behind us!"
Taotao smiled, "Brother, you are so narrow-minded! Our original ideal was to let everyone live a good life where they can eat as much meat as they want. Sister Chunni's decision does not conflict with our ideal... She also wants to live a good life!"
Jiang Hongzhi was anxious. "But our Oasis... In the past ten years, our registered population has doubled. There were only about 500 people before, and with the marriages, migrations, and new births... there are already 1,000 people! But the actual labor force is even less than it was ten years ago! Ten years ago, when we only had 500 people, we could still gather more than 200 strong laborers! Now... at most, there are only about 200 people!"
"This is a normal development trend!" Tao Tao said, "... The wages we offer are indeed not as good as those in coastal cities. I heard that an ordinary factory worker with no experience can get 400 to 500 yuan a month. Those with some experience can get 600 to 700 yuan! For someone like Hua Fugui who has worked for more than ten years, he can get more than 1,000 yuan..."
"Brother, you are the village chief and also the general manager of the village import and export company. You only make three to five hundred a month, right? It's the same as what ordinary workers outside earn! So, it's no problem for young people to choose higher incomes," Taotao said.
Jiang Hongzhi was somewhat indignant. "All the strong laborers have run away, leaving only the old, weak, sick and disabled in the village, just waiting to die? Who will do all the farm work?"
Tao Tao, "That's why I wanted to come to you today! What are we going to do in the future?"
Jiang Hongzhi was stunned. "I don't know either... Should I go to the Construction Corps to issue paid labor tasks?"
Tao Tao, "We have to consider this from two aspects. First, we have to think from the perspective of young people, what their needs are and why they want to go out to work. Then we can consider and find ways to solve the problem on our side."
Jiang Hongzhi hesitated for a long time, "Young people want to go out to work, isn't it to make money and see the colorful world outside..."
"You still think with your own mind."
"Then I don't understand."
Taotao smiled and said, "If I were a young person, my thoughts would be just like what you just said... I have never left my hometown in my life, so of course I am full of curiosity about places outside of my hometown. Besides, without the constraints of parents and elders, I can make a lot of money... How great! Well, this period of time will last about three to five years."
"After three to five years, they will face the first difficult hurdle in their lives: marriage. No matter how far they go, they must return to their hometown because they hope to get recognition, support and help from their families."
"After getting married, there will be children! They are still so young, who will take care of the children? Most likely, they will be left to the elderly in their hometown to take care of them... This process will take about three to five years."
"When their children grow up, they get tired of wandering around... Of course, it's also possible that they can't compete with younger people, so they will give up and return to their hometown. This process also takes about three to five years..."
At this point, Taotao smiled and said, "Brother, so do you know what to do?"
Jiang Hongzhi looked at Taotao and hesitated for a long time before he tentatively asked, "We... let the young people take care of their children?"
Taotao laughed out loud.
After laughing, she said seriously: "You are right. We should pay more attention to school education..."
I still feel a little sad to see Jiang Hongzhi.
Tao Tao advised: "Brother, our ideal is to build an oasis better...but aren't you putting the cart before the horse? Building an oasis better is serving the people. But taking good care of the people is also your original intention!"
These words were like an epiphany for Jiang Hongzhi.
He slapped his forehead hard to wake himself up completely. "... Taozi, you are right! I am too obsessed with money, so why should I complain? You say our Oasis is not rich, but it is much richer than other towns. They go out to work because they are too poor. No matter how poor we are... we won't starve, right? We can eat meat every now and then, why do even the young people in our village have to run out to join in the fun..."
Taotao smiled and said, "That's not true. It's good for young people to go out and see the world. If you don't know what the world is like, you will never know where you fit in!"
Jiang Hongzhi nodded, "I understand! I'll go back and explain it to Zhou Chunni... I shouldn't have stopped her. She's been by my side, and has been a good wife for decades. Now her children are grown up. She wants to go out and see the world and see her personal abilities. I should support her!"
"That's right!" Taotao said with a smile.
Jiang Hongzhi, "Then I'll find Caizhu and we'll discuss what to do with the school and what to do with the empty-nest elderly in the village..."
Taotao smiled and replied, "Okay!"
Jiang Hongzhi asked Taotao again, "Is your Feifei coming back this year? How is Momo doing recently?"
Taotao smiled and said, "Fei Fei is still studying abroad and won't be coming back this year! Mo Mo is a senior this year and is preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam!"
——Influenced by his father Song Zhi, Fei Fei has been interested in engineering since he was a child. He studied an unpopular subject, new materials science. When I was studying abroad, I also learned a course in physics and mechanics.
——Mo Mo should have inherited his father Song Zhi’s academic genius genes. His major is pharmaceutical engineering. He is already a senior at the age of 18 and is preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination.
Jiang Hongzhi also knew about Taotao's family situation.
He nodded, stood up and prepared to go back, and said to Tao Tao, "Then I'll go back first. Will Song Zhi come over in the next few days? Then we can have dinner together!"
Taotao agreed.
Jiang Hongzhi walked outside and saw Song Zhi and Zhou Chunni standing at the door as soon as he left the research station.
Ten years have passed, and Song Zhi's appearance has not changed much. He is still tall and thin with handsome appearance. He was wearing a white shirt, black trousers, black leather shoes, and carrying a backpack.
Jiang Hongzhi greeted Song Zhi, "Hey, Song Zhi is back... I was just talking to Taozi about you! Let's have dinner together when you are free!"
Song Zhi nodded.
Jiang Hongzhi's attention shifted to his wife Zhou Chunni
Did he see her face full of tears?
Jiang Hongzhi looked at Song Zhi in confusion again.
Song Zhi said quickly: "Mrs. Jiang has been here for a while, I just got here."
——I don’t know why Zhou Chunni was crying.
Jiang Hongzhi understood.
Chunni must have heard his conversation with Taotao and knew that he had been convinced.
Jiang Hongzhi sighed and said to Zhou Chunni: "Let's go home!"
Zhou Chunni nodded silently.
After walking a few steps, Jiang Hongzhi changed his mind and said to Zhou Chunni, "It's too boring to go home... Let's take a walk along the lake and appreciate this oasis that you and I have spent half our lives to build!"
As they spoke, Jiang Hongzhi and Zhou Chunni walked away slowly.
Song Zhi was a little surprised. He stared at the backs of the Jiang couple for a while before walking into Taotao's research station.
Tao Tao was lying on the desk checking the laboratory data. She saw Song Zhi coming in with the corner of her eye and said without raising her head, "Go cook... Don't bother me. I have a data that doesn't match. I'm checking it now!"
Song Zhi responded, put down his backpack, went to get some water to wash his face, and then went to the kitchen to cook.
Taotao was busy until almost noon when she finally corrected the data. She stretched and looked up. Song Zhi was sitting next to her reading a book.
——It was a spy story about the Republic of China written by Hongdou. It was very thrilling. It uses the deeds of Song Zhi's mother, martyr Xu Huaizhen, martyr Song Shaolan, and some of the deeds of old lady Huo. Hongdou has good writing skills and is very good at expressing herself. The national hatred, family feuds, and love between young men and women are portrayed vividly and very brilliantly.
Taotao walked over and snatched the novel from his hand. "What novel are you reading? Look at me!"
Song Zhi looked up.
Taotao has been married to him for more than 20 years, but in front of him, she is still naughty and willful like a child.
But he likes it very much.
I like her being so lively and cute.
"Well, I'll take a good look at it at night." Song Zhi said seriously.
Tao Tao was startled and became angry. "What did you say?"
Song Zhi chuckled, "I must obey the little fairy's request!" As he said that, he reached out and embraced her.
Bury the chest.
Taotao blushed.
She looked furtively outside the office.
Fortunately, it was noon and most people were having lunch at home. Most people would not come to her unless they had something urgent to do.
After a while, Taotao bit him hard with a red face, and Song Zhi then let her go with a smile.
The couple sat together to eat.
The current living standard is better than it was ten years ago.
Although the color TV, refrigerator and washing machine were not cheap, Taotao still bought them. After all, these home appliances can directly improve your sense of happiness in life!
With a refrigerator, you can store raw meat.
So today's lunch also consists of three dishes and one soup, braised fish fillets, braised eggplant with sauce, stir-fried small pond vegetables, plus a fish head and mushroom soup.
The fish were distributed by the village a few days ago. They are distributed once every quarter, and each family can get 2-3 fish each time, weighing about ten pounds.
Taotao's household registration is not in the village, but the villagers all like her and rush to give her one of the fish they have been allocated.
After all this, Taotao's refrigerator was stuffed with seven or eight fish.
Of course, Taotao would not accept the fish for free, and would always repay the favor in other ways.
The fish soup was delicious and Taotao drank two bowls in one go.
Song Zhi asked Taotao if anything had happened to Jiang Hongzhi and Zhou Chunni.
Taotao told the truth.
Song Zhi sighed, "Now that reform and opening up have taken place, many people have gone to coastal areas to work. Not only people from Oasis, but even many people in our unit have taken unpaid leave and are leaving..."
Tao Tao was surprised. "Doesn't your company require you to sign a confidentiality agreement?"
“A temporary worker from the periphery.”
Tao Tao just breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Song Zhi say, "There is a saying now that those who make bombs are not as good as those who sell tea eggs... I am actually the same as Jiang Hongzhi. I am very worried. On the one hand, I am worried about the loss of outstanding talents, and on the other hand, I am afraid that so many outstanding talents will go abroad to study and never come back..."
Tao Tao said: "This is also part of the reform and opening up! In fact, I think it's pretty good. It selected a group of people... those who can calm down, those who have ideals, and those who love their country, they all stayed. Those who are not firm in their positions, they all left... Isn't that good?"
Song Zhi was speechless for a long time.
He laughed, "Even the problems that our leaders are worried about, when it comes to you... it becomes a piece of cake. Okay, after listening to you, it seems to be the case. So we think too much and worry about nothing!"
Tao Tao, "That's not it, it should be considered as going with the flow."
After a pause, Taotao changed the subject, "By the way, tomorrow is July 1st, Honggang will return! There will be a live broadcast at that time. Let's go to the store later. You can come with me to buy some melon seeds, peanuts and soda. We will watch the live broadcast together tomorrow."
Song Zhi nodded.
After lunch, Song Zhi cleaned up the dishes and walked along Lingxi Lake with Taotao.
Lingxi Oasis has been well built in the past two years.
There is a medical clinic in the village, which can treat the villagers' simple illnesses; there is also a small store in the village, which sells all kinds of daily necessities; the store also runs a fast food restaurant. If anyone does not want to eat, they can come half an hour in advance and tell the store owner, and they can have a hot meal for two dollars.
Taotao went to the grocery store and weighed a pound of stir-fried squash, a pound of boiled peanuts, and bought two bottles of Coke. Finally, I bought two popsicles, and Song Zhi and I each took one and walked slowly along the lakeshore.
Taotao ate the big pudding ice cream.
"Song Zhi, to be honest, this popsicle is really delicious, with a strong milky flavor." Taotao licked it again and again, and said vaguely, "...but I just keep thinking of the cream popsicle you took me to the store in front of the Red Star Machinery Factory and we ate..."
"This one tastes much better than that one! But I just... keep missing that taste." Taotao said.
Song Zhi ate the big pudding with an expressionless face.
He has never been interested in sweets, so eating this ice cream will help him complete his mission.
After thinking for a while, he said, "The old popsicles are gone! They're not as good as this. They're just water mixed with saccharin and flavoring."
Taotao rolled her eyes at him, "…This is called sentiment!"
Song Zhi looked thoughtful.
At night, Song Zhi took a bath first and urged Taotao to take a bath as well. Then he patrolled the research station inside and out and closed all the doors and windows.
Now the village’s joint defense station is right at the entrance of the scientific research station. Villagers patrol the area 24 hours a day, and the public security is very good.
Taotao came out of the shower and sat in the room to do her skin care.
Song Zhi's maternal grandfather was in the business of cosmetics and skin care products. A few years ago, Uncle Xu also invested in building a factory in Nandu and brought the two elderly people over.
The two elders met Song Xi and learned the real reason why their two children died. They cursed, cried, and laughed...
Finally, looking at his grandchildren Feifei and Momo, he was so happy and loved them so much that he finally shook hands with Song Xi and made peace.
Song Xi urged the two elders to stay in Nandu, and he would treat them as his own parents and be filial to them. But the two elders were more concerned about the persimmon trees in their hometown of Binzhou, so they politely declined Song Xi's offer and returned to their hometown of Binzhou accompanied by their children and grandchildren.
When they were still able-bodied, Taotao and Song Zhi took them to Kyoto and lived with them for more than a month. They even followed Song Zhi and Tao Tao to travel around the Northwest...
Three years ago, the two elders passed away one after another in their hometown of Binzhou.
Of course, everyone is saddened by the passing of the old man, but life must go on.
Since the Xu family was in the cosmetics and skin care business, the aunt was amazed at Taotao's beauty and once invited Taotao to be a print model and endorse Taozhi skin care products.
Taotao agreed, of course, but because Taotao was far away in Kyoto and often went to the Northwest, she could only visit her relatives in Nandu during the summer vacation...
Later, my aunt had to find another model.
However, my aunt gave Taotao a lot of skin care products.
At this moment, Taotao is sitting in front of the makeup mirror, doing her skin care slowly.
First she applied moisturizer, then essence, and then eye cream, night cream, and neck cream. Finally, she picked up the bottle of her favorite body lotion.
Taotao likes this body lotion from her aunt's house very much. It is very moisturizing and she especially likes the scent - it is the scent of milk mixed with peaches. It has a rich warm scent when it is first applied. On the second day, the scent gradually dissipates and turns into a light sweet scent.
only--
Song Zhi snatched the bottle of body lotion from her hand.
"I'll help you."
He said in a hoarse voice.
Taotao giggled.
She didn't object to his serving her at all.
But, today he seems a little...different than before?
"You're on top," he straightened the big white peach, looked at her with dark eyes, and whispered, "When I first met you...how did you chase me around, wanting to eat me all day long, huh?"
Taotao's cheeks turned pink as she thought of the past.
She is the Saint of Mei Sect, familiar with the secrets of lovemaking, but she is a virgin. So she remembered her master's teachings and must not indulge in dual cultivation and surpass Hehuan...
She was naive and remembered the word "above" very well.
So much so that in the years after marrying Song Zhi, she had to be on top, even if she was physically exhausted!
Now...
Taotao thought of her past innocence and laughed so hard that she dazzled Song Zhi's eyes.
He lowered his head and took the big white peach into his mouth.
Taotao gasped!
After the three battles, Taotao was sweating all over and was staggering... but he still held her firmly and refused to let her fall.
"Song Zhi, I'm almost dying of exhaustion!"
"I'm the one doing all the hard work... Don't you like being on top?"
"No, no! I'm so tired..."
“This is the feeling you want.”
Taotao was stunned.
"Song Zhi——"
She got so angry that she bit him hard!
Song Zhi felt pain and knew that she was angry, so he carefully put her down.
Tao Tao thought she could take a break, but he turned over and rode on her. She asked Da Bai Tao, "How about this?"
Big White Peach: ...
Well, I guess I won’t be able to get up tomorrow.
"You have to wake me up tomorrow to watch the live broadcast!" Taotao said weakly.
The next morning, Taotao was woken up by Song Zhi several times.
But she was sore all over and very sleepy that she just opened her eyes and took a look before falling asleep again.
Until she was woken up by Song Zhi again, "Taotao, the live broadcast of Honggang's return has begun."
Taotao immediately opened her eyes and stared at the TV screen in front of her.
It took her a moment to realize...TV? Isn't the TV placed in the outer office?
Hey, Song Zhi moved the TV into the room?
At first glance, on the tray on the bed, there were boiled eggs and steamed dumplings for breakfast, as well as the roasted melon seeds, boiled peanuts, and soda she bought yesterday, all neatly arranged. Song Zhi even prepared an empty bowl for her to hold the melon seed shells and peanut shells!
Looking more carefully, he could still smell the fresh scent of toothpaste in her mouth, and her face was soft and tender... So, he had already helped her wash and even applied facial cream for her!
Thinking about it this way, Taotao finally remembered, he...he he he, he seemed to have carried her to the bathroom?
Taotao's face turned red instantly.
Even though they were a couple, she had never tried... being taken care of by him while going to the toilet!
Song Zhi also looked at her, still with a helpless look on his face, "Why are you looking at me? You're watching TV!"
Taotao then noticed that Song Zhi was holding an electric wire in his hand?
"What are you doing?" she asked.
Song Zhi, "If this line is not connected properly, the TV signal will not work. I have tried many times and tried every possible way... Just hold it like this, and I will move the TV out after you finish watching the live broadcast."
Taotao believes in Song Zhi.
Although she bought a color TV, the signal in Oasis was poor and she could only receive four or five channels. Moreover, the noise is loud and there is always snow on the screen, making it difficult to see or hear clearly.
But to let him sit there, holding onto a wire, for two hours?
"Try more!" Taotao said.
"It's okay." Song Zhi also insisted.

Song Zhi, "I don't know whether he is doing well or not. After all, we haven't heard any news about him in so many years. It's hard to say whether they will get back together, but I think the initiative lies with Hongdou. Hongdou also studied abroad before Honggang returned to China, and she had the opportunity to go...but she hasn't been to Honggang, so it's hard to say."
Tao Tao curled her lips, "No matter what, even if Fan Heng has become something successful now, I still think he is a coward! A coward in terms of emotions! He is not worthy of Hong Dou!"
Song Zhi smiled, put down his hand that was holding the electric wire, and rubbed Taotao's head.
