Xia Lin came over quickly, holding the fish and expressing his surprise to Yu Sui: "Did you really just borrow money from that person? How much did you borrow? This fish is really big and rare!"
Yu Sui held up a few fingers: "Eight! That's why I said it was good news. I couldn't bear to eat it. I was waiting for you to come and eat it."
Xia Lin said: "My wife is really nice. But this fish is so rare, we can't just take it from someone else. I got my salary this afternoon, you can give them some compensation."
"That person went back to her hometown and can't be found. She said she was from that place. Do you know that place?"
"Oh, it's a branch of the Hezhe people. No wonder they can get such a rare fish. The Hezhe people are good at fishing. Alas, I owe them a favor. Will there be a chance to see them again?" Xia Linbei's face was full of regret and guilt for taking advantage of others.
Yu Sui liked his natural display of integrity.
If you don't take advantage of others easily, you won't owe favors to others easily, nor will you suffer great losses.
This man had another thing that made her like him.
Yu Sui: "She herself said that I would see her again, and also said that my life was going smoothly. I think she is a little mysterious, and I don't know if what she said is true."
Xia Lin seemed quite understanding and explained, "They worship shamanism, which does involve some mysterious things. But now, everyone is trying to establish new trends, and things are not so particular. In the past, they had to go through a lot of rituals when fishing, and when they were sick, they didn't see a doctor, but performed shaman dances. Since she said she would see you again, then prepare to see you again. The next time you see her, she won't let you return the money. Why don't you give her another ten yuan, okay?"
"OK!"
Yu Sui readily agreed, thinking that if they had the chance to meet again, she would give him something valuable as a gift, as a matter of reciprocity.
Because the fish was large and relatively rare, Xia Lin suggested that after it was thawed, it should be cut into smaller pieces and distributed to the comrades living nearby to try.
Yu Sui certainly wouldn't mind.
The two men put the fish on the ground outside and waited for it to thaw a little before cutting it.
They were happy at first, but they almost started arguing again over the topic of Ding Lili.
At the beginning, Yu Sui insisted on asking Xia Linbei, who was squatting on the ground killing fish, how he got entangled with Ding Lili and why she said such words to seduce him into bed.
Xia Lin was aggrieved: "Xiao Sui Sui, if you say those two words again, I will be angry!"
Yu Sui: "Ah, shouldn't I be the one angry? What are you angry about?"
"This is slander! I've only met her a few times!"
"several times?"
"Two or three times!"
"Two or three times? Tell me, how did you meet?" Yu Sui pinched his chin and tortured him to extract a confession.
Xia Lin sighed helplessly, shook off the scales on his hands, and began to count with his fingers:
"Well, the first time I met her was when I first joined the army and saved a little girl who fell into the water. Later, people said she was the daughter of Captain Ding. I didn't take her seriously and never asked about it. The second time was when Captain Ding was promoted to regimental commander and the little girl had grown up. She met me on the road and suddenly called out to me and smiled at me. My comrades saw it and started to make a fuss, but I ignored them and immediately walked away.
The third time... there was a time when Ding Lili was with the family of our old instructor, and the sister-in-law asked me if I wanted to introduce someone to someone. I didn't even ask who it was, I just said I was engaged. Then the sister-in-law winked at Ding Lili, and Ding Lili glared at me. It was only when you mentioned Ding Lili the other day that I remembered this. I had no idea Ding Lili was thinking that way. She's so young, and she has no shame!
Yu Sui: "Now that you know, aren't you very proud?"
"Pride? What's there to be proud of?" Xia Lin's eyes were truly pure.
Yu Sui's eyes were filled with more meaning: "Because there is a daughter of a regiment commander who likes you secretly, and you are obviously qualified to be the regiment commander's son-in-law!"
Xia Lin didn't even kill the fish, and just washed his hands with ice water.
"Hey, Yu Sui, who do you think I am? I tell you, people should always know themselves. Who am I? I am just a soldier from the countryside. My roots are in the countryside. I hope my wife is from the countryside too. At least we are all the same. I never wanted to marry a city girl. Besides, being the son-in-law of the regiment commander would be laughed at. A grown man who still has to rely on his wife and father-in-law? It's shameful!"
Yu Sui looked at him with interest: "You mean, only a country girl like me is worthy of you, right?"
Xia Lin's face turned serious: "I used to think so, but now I don't think so."
"Hmm? What do you mean?"
"I used to think my partner was just so-so, and that we were probably just like our ancestors, just making do with each other. But now I feel more and more that my partner is too good, and I have to work harder. Wife, daughter-in-law, I'm really worried that I'm not worthy of you."
As Xia Linbei spoke, he suddenly held Yu Sui's face and kissed her lips hard.
While Yu Sui was being kissed so hard that she couldn't breathe, Xia Linbei finally said what he had been holding back all afternoon: "After all, we haven't slept together yet. What if one day you don't want me anymore, what should I do?"
Yu Sui likes Xia Linbei like this kind of person.
Pragmatic, but also ambitious.
Yu Sui disliked the fishy smell on his hands and teased him, "How about we go to bed now?"
Xia Lin looked at her without saying anything.
There were clearly two fires burning in the black pupils, and even across the distance of a big fish, Yu Sui could feel the heat.
Yu Sui began to regret her rash provocation. She stood up and hid in the inner room, "Ahem, I was just telling you. I know you wouldn't dare!"
"I don't dare? I don't dare?" Xia Lin rushed over, bent down, and hugged Yu Sui up: "Who do you say doesn't dare?"
Yu Sui met his eyes and her heart began to beat wildly: "I... didn't say that."
"Playing tricks? This is my little wife who dares to say anything?" Xia Lin put Yu Sui on the kang and pressed her down.
Yu Sui was aroused. She pulled the scarf from her neck, revealing her swan-like neck, and looked at him provocatively: "Do you dare?"
It's quiet inside.
Outside the window, the north wind was howling, blowing up snowflakes that fell from the sky like crushed clouds.
Xia Linbei felt as if the fire in his heart was burning all over his body, emitting smoke in bursts and making him sweat all over.
He suppressed it, his voice hoarse: "If I don't dare again, I'm not a human being."
He tremblingly flipped through Yu Sui's pink shirt, and halfway through, he took off his own: "I'm afraid you'll be cold, so I'll take mine off first."
However, he stripped himself down to a military green sweatshirt, knelt on the kang, met Yu Sui's playful eyes, and swallowed his saliva: "Okay, I'm not a human. You're still young, I'm going to let you go. I'll just hug you."
Yu Sui started laughing.
I was laughing so hard.
This man!
I know that he either doesn't dare or he is restraining himself.
I will definitely exercise restraint.
It is this sense of security that comes from knowing that he will definitely restrain himself that makes Yu Sui like him more and more.
