Instantly separate.
It was so fast that Jiang Shiyue couldn't react.
The hasty kiss was over.
She realized it belatedly and her face turned red with shame, but she couldn't hold Chen Shanhe accountable for his "hooligan" behavior.
Chen Shanhe stared at Wang Guihua and asked, "Is this enough?"
The people in the room had different expressions.
In 1978, people's customs were still generally conservative, and married couples rarely had physical contact in public, let alone such intimate and private interactions as kissing.
Kissing in public is considered bad manners and will be despised by others.
But at this moment, Chen Shanhe was forced by Wang Guihua to kiss Jiang Shiyue.
Wang Guihua's face turned blue and purple, and she stammered and couldn't speak.
No matter how stubborn you are, you can't refute it.
Jiang Shiyue didn't dare dwell on the lingering warmth on her lips. She said to Director Chen with a cold face, "Director Chen, I think for the sake of your family harmony and my own innocence, we should not cooperate."
She turned around and took Chen Shanhe's arm, saying in a soft voice, "Hubby, let's go!"
Chen Shanhe didn't move, his eyes fell on Wang Guihua's face, "You still owe my wife an apology!"
When Director Chen, along with the cadres and worker representatives from the garment factory heard that Jiang Shiyue was leaving, they became anxious and blocked the door to prevent her from leaving.
Director Chen pointed at Wang Guihua and cursed, "Look at the trouble you've caused! You've worked at the factory your whole life. If the factory really closes down, I wonder how you'll ever face the world! Why don't you apologize to them right now?!"
Old Hu also scolded Wang Guihua with a stern face, "You! You've been jealous and gossiping since you were young. Now that you're a grandmother, why can't you change this bad habit? Apologize to Comrade Xiao Jiang!"
"Sister-in-law, we all know Director Chen's character. Our factory is in such a difficult situation right now, and Director Chen is so focused on the factory that he doesn't even have time to go home. How could he have the time to think about other things?"
"Xiao Wang, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you were always outspoken when you were young. But we're both grandmothers now, and you can't be so reckless anymore. You're old enough to not understand 'you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want.' Look at what you've done! You're just saying whatever you want without even touching your lips! Even if Director Chen doesn't make a fuss about you, what do you think Comrade Xiao Jiang will feel? It's a good thing his wife is so magnanimous, otherwise, how could you take responsibility if this caused a rift between the couple?"
“…”
Everyone was speaking up for Jiang Shiyue.
Jiang Shiyue raised an eyebrow, enjoying watching the fun.
Chen Shanhe's eyes fell on Jiang Shiyue's hand around him, and his Adam's apple moved.
If you look closely, you can see that the tips of his ears are red.
Fortunately, everyone was busy denouncing Wang Guihua and no one paid attention to him.
Only Yangyang raised his head and looked at Chen Shanhe, then lowered his head again.
Chen Shanhe: “…”
He, a grown man, felt like he was seen through by a three-year-old child.
I always feel that my son is too mature at such a young age.
I really don’t know who to follow?!
Wang Guihua knew she had incurred public wrath, and was also afraid that the factory would close down if Jiang Shiyue really left. She gritted her teeth and slapped herself hard, "Comrade Xiao Jiang, please be magnanimous and don't argue with an ignorant old woman like me! I misunderstood!"
Director Chen also bowed to Jiang Shiyue. "This time it's my wife who's wrong. Comrade Xiao Jiang, don't bother with her. Just stay!"
Other cadres and worker representatives also spoke up to persuade Jiang Shiyue to stay.
Jiang Shiyue thought about it and nodded since he had no better place to go or way to make money for the time being.
But, I couldn't eat this meal at all.
Director Chen hurriedly took the family of three to rest.
"We don't have any vacant rooms in our factory right now. But when our factory was prosperous, we built a small guesthouse. There are still some rooms there, but we can't cook there. You... your family of three will have to make do with this for now."
The guesthouse is a two-story building with three rooms on each side of the central aisle.
Director Chen led Jiang Shiyue and her family to the second floor, took out the key and opened the middle room facing the sun. "The first floor is damp, the second floor is a little drier. The room was tidied and cleaned the day before yesterday. If you see anything you need, please tell me. I won't bother you anymore."
Jiang Shiyue's luggage had been brought in and placed on the floor of the living room.
The room is not big, but it has everything you need. It is a suite with one bedroom, one living room and one bathroom.
Jiang Shiyue waited for Director Chen to leave, then released her hand from Chen Shanhe and asked, "Why are you here?"
Chen Shanhe's eyes fell on his empty arm, and he raised his hand to hand the thing to Jiang Shiyue.
"You forgot to take this pillowcase."
Jiang Shiyue took it. She remembered this pillowcase. She didn't forget to take it, but she deliberately didn't take it. "Isn't this your pillowcase?"
This pillowcase is a bit old and the edges are torn.
Chen Shanhe took the initiative to explain: "Yangyang must sleep with this pillowcase, otherwise he won't sleep. I'm afraid that if he changes his environment and doesn't have a pillowcase anymore, he will make trouble for you."
So when I got home and saw the pillowcase, I hurried to give it to her.
It just so happened that a comrade-in-arms was coming to the city office to deliver some documents, so he got a ride.
"Sorry to trouble you." Jiang Shiyue felt a little embarrassed. She hadn't thought enough about it.
Chen Shanhe shook his head. "Then I won't bother you anymore. You should clean up and go to bed early."
Jiang Shiyue nodded, "Go slowly on your way."
Chen Shanhe turned around and opened the door, then turned back again after remembering something. "I'm sorry for kissing you just now. I was in a hurry and didn't ask for your consent."
Jiang Shiyue's face suddenly felt like it was on fire.
I blamed Chen Shanhe in my heart. What a fool! They had already kissed each other, so why did he bring it up? Are you afraid that the two of them won't be embarrassed enough?
I cursed in my heart but had to pretend nothing happened. "It's okay, thank you for helping me out."
Chen Shanhe left without saying anything.
Jiang Shiyue was sweating after riding a bicycle for half a day in the hot weather. He locked the door, told Yangyang not to run around, and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
The bathroom is very small, and it has a bathroom integrated into it.
After Jiang Shiyue finished washing, she remembered that she had forgotten to bring a change of clothes. She also didn't have a bath towel, as bath towels were not a daily necessity for the people in 1978.
She thought about it and realized that Yangyang was a special child. When he was concentrating on one thing, he seldom paid attention to what was happening around him. Besides, he was only a three-year-old child and didn't understand matters between men and women.
In other words, it's like you're the only one in the house.
Prepared herself mentally, Jiang Shiyue covered her key parts with a towel, opened the bathroom door, and wanted to run to the bedroom. However, as soon as she took a step, her eyes met with Chen Shanhe who had just entered the room.
Jiang Shiyue: “…”
Chen Shanhe: “…”
One second.
Two seconds.
Jiang Shiyue was the first to react. She screamed and retreated to the bathroom, slamming the door shut. "Why are you back?"
