After returning to her room, Xu Zhizhi fell asleep as soon as her head hit the bed.
She slept soundly and sweetly that night.
The Xu family, however, was different, though they lived thousands of miles away.
Liang Fenglan and Xu Changgui were released from the police station three days after catching each other in adultery; both of them were in a terrible state.
Liang Fenglan, in particular, had one of her teeth knocked out by Xu Changgui, and her scarlet jacket was now filthy and grayish-black.
She spent three nights at the police station and was completely disoriented.
As Liang Fenglan emerged from the police station, a clap of thunder startled her, and a chilly north wind, carrying freezing rain, drenched her face.
Liang Fenglan, who was already dressed in thin clothes, shivered and squatted down on the ground, bursting into tears.
“Xu Changgui, you bastard, how could you hit me so hard? You even pulled out a clump of my hair.”
Xu Changgui clutched his chest, shivering from the cold, and muttered curses under his breath.
“How dare you say that to me? You’ve scratched my face countless times, and it still hurts!”
The story dates back to three days ago.
Following the information given by Xu Zhizhi, Liang Fenglan grabbed a rolling pin and went to catch the adulterers in the act with great force.
But when they knocked on the door, it was Accountant Wu, dressed in a flashy outfit, who came out!
Accountant Wu was also dumbfounded.
Didn’t he make an appointment with Xu Zhizhi? Why did it turn out to be that fat woman, Liang Fenglan?
After a moment of reaction, I suddenly realized that something was wrong!
Did that bitch Xu Zhizhi trick you?
Liang Fenglan, however, thought that Xu Zhizhi was able to discover Lao Xu’s dirty deeds because she and Accountant Wu were having an affair here. She was secretly pleased, thinking that she could raise the price again!
He immediately threatened Accountant Wu to increase the betrothal gifts, and said that the two were having an affair without a matchmaker, and that if he reported them, Accountant Wu and Xu Zhizhi would go to jail.
Upon hearing this, Accountant Wu became furious and pulled Liang Fenglan into the room, telling her to check if Xu Zhizhi was inside.
It was at this moment that Xu Changgui kicked open the door to room 201.
The loud noise stunned all three of them.
Three faces were filled with confusion!
Xu Changgui was always hot-tempered. When he went to the cafeteria for breakfast in the morning and didn’t see Liang Fenglan, he knew that Xu Zhizhi was not lying to him. He drank half a bottle of Erguotou and then came.
As soon as they found the room, they saw Liang Fenglan and a young man arguing at the door. After exchanging only a few words, the two went inside with their arms around each other.
With the door about to close, would Xu Changgui let this slut go?
With a dark expression, he kicked the door!
When Xu Changgui saw that it was Accountant Wu inside, he became even more furious.
OK!
She’s even stealing someone from her future son-in-law!
“You piece of junk that a thousand men ride, I won’t believe you if I don’t tear you apart today.”
When Liang Fenglan heard the word “slut,” she was immediately filled with anger. After her husband died, she had indeed been with several men, and those old hands in the factory called her that in private.
She couldn’t stand hearing that, so she immediately picked up a rolling pin and got to work.
“I’m trash? Then you’re just a soft cucumber…”
She wanted to live a good life, but she had her limits. Now that Xu Changgui dared to take action, the situation was different. Even a rabbit will bite when pushed to the limit!
Accountant Wu, who was standing to the side, was innocently implicated. He wanted to explain himself, but he couldn’t stop the two furious men.
Seeing the two fighting fiercely in the guesthouse, Accountant Wu was so frightened that he ran out the door.
The noise attracted the attention of the other people in the rooms, who came out of their rooms and craned their necks to see what was going on.
Finally, someone called the police, and that’s how the two were persuaded to stop.
When the police officers brought them out,
Liang Fenglan was disheveled, her face bruised and swollen, and she was unrecognizable. She cried so bitterly!
Xu Changgui wasn’t in much better shape; his long, dark face was covered in bloodstains, and he remained silent with a bitter expression.
The matter escalated to the point where the police station was located.
The couple was interrogated separately, each with their own version of events, and one of them was so angry that he could have blown up the police station on the spot!
The final outcome was that they were detained for three days and made to compensate the guesthouse for the damaged items before being released.
What Xu Changgui didn’t know was that these three days were just the beginning; the “gift package” that followed would leave them with nothing!
the next day,
The howling north wind blew all night, only subsiding slightly as dawn broke.
Li Wenzhu has a habit of waking up early, and he opens his eyes on time.
The person in my arms is soft and smells sweet.
Li Wenzhu looked down with a happy expression and saw Xu Zhizhi nestled beside him. Her fair face was flushed, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned. She looked quiet and well-behaved.
What kind of wonderful dream is she having?
Li Wenzhu couldn’t help but reach out and brush away the messy strands of her hair.
Xu Zhizhi was sleeping soundly when she suddenly felt a tickling or tingling sensation on the tip of her nose. She slowly opened her eyes and saw Li Wenzhu’s handsome face appear before her.
After briefly recalling yesterday’s events, Xu Zhizhi pulled the blanket over her blushing face.
“Wenzhu, do I look ugly when I sleep? Don’t look!”
She lowered her head, her eyes filled with the deep love of a young girl.
I used to think she didn’t care about me, but now I see, it’s not that she doesn’t care, she clearly has me in her eyes and heart!
Li Wenzhu is a former reconnaissance soldier who is best at discerning a person’s inner thoughts through subtle movements.
Xu Zhizhi may have been a bit gluttonous and lazy in the past, but what’s wrong with a spoiled personality for an only child raised in a dual-income family?
I reflect once again on how I almost missed out on my wife because of that unfounded dream!
Li Wenzhu’s hardened heart was warmed by this tender emotion. She got up quickly, dressed, and then brought Xu Zhizhi’s clothes to the bedside.
“I’ll go see if there’s any breakfast. If I’m tired, I’ll sleep a little longer.”
Xu Zhizhi nodded, “Okay, thank you for your hard work!”
“Of course.”
Li Wenzhu bought a bunch of steamed buns from a nearby shop and then took a large bowl of hot millet porridge in her aluminum lunchbox upstairs.
Seeing that his wife had already packed her things and was waiting by the bedside, Li Wenzhu placed breakfast in front of her.
You eat first, and give me what you can’t finish!
While he was out shopping, Xu Zhizhi had eaten a piece of snow skin cake and some hot milk in her spatial dimension, so she really couldn’t eat anything right now. However, seeing Li Wenzhu’s expectant gaze, she still ate some steamed buns.
Finally, he left most of the breakfast to Li Wenzhu, saying, “You’ve worked hard on your mission, you must not have eaten or drunk well. I have a small appetite, so you can have all of this.”
She was afraid she wouldn’t have enough to eat? She actually refrained from eating, which moved Li Wenzhu deeply.
But the thought of Xu Zhizhi refusing to join the army because of her parents and the conditions at the camp made him worry again.
“The conditions at the camp aren’t very good, and my parents aren’t doing well either. Once you’ve rested, I’ll ask for leave and take you back.”
My parents were sent down to the countryside in 1976 and have been living on a farm in Northeast China for six years.
The people who had been sent down from the farm gradually returned to the city, but the transfer order from their parents was still nowhere to be seen.
He didn’t want to implicate Xu Zhizhi!
“Now that I’m here and you haven’t sacrificed your life, of course I’m going to join you! We didn’t even visit our parents when we got married, so now that we’re here, we definitely have to go.”
Li Wenzhu arranged for her parents to be assigned to a farm near the camp.
The original owner’s refusal to come with the army was probably partly due to her dislike of her in-laws who had been sent to the countryside.
But Xu Zhizhi knew that Zhou Tian couldn’t let the male lead continue to be so pathetic. By next summer, the male lead’s parents would be reinstated, and although the male lead’s eldest sister married a man from Northeast China, she eventually became the richest woman in China.
Right now, clinging to the male lead’s coattails is the best strategy!
“But I’m afraid I can’t endure that hardship…” Li Wenzhu worried.
He believed his wife had traveled a long distance to attend his funeral because she was worried about him, but when it came to the practicalities of life, he worried that his wife would not be able to adapt to the camp environment, especially since she was pregnant.
“I’m not afraid!”
Xu Zhizhi said firmly, “With you and Mom and Dad here, you definitely won’t let me suffer.”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
“Old Li, the camp vehicle has arrived. Have you and your wife gotten ready yet…”
Looking at his wife’s fair skin and thinking about the environment of the camp, Li Wenzhu sighed inwardly, “Then let’s go back first. If you can’t stand it, we’ll think of something else.”
so caught a glimpse of the dazzling Xu Zhizhi through the gap. Remembering the promise she had just made to Uncle Li and her father, Daya swung her short legs, crouched down, and squeezed through the white fleshy shield. She walked to Sister Xu’s side, spreading her small, lotus-root-like arms like a little chick protecting its mother hen.
He declared confidently, “Sister Xu, I’ll protect you!”
Zhang Chun’e followed the sound and, seeing the situation, used most of her tiger-like body to cover Xu Zhizhi’s delicate, lily-like white skin.
“Hey sis, I’ll cover for you, you can go wash up without worry!”
The bathhouse erupted in laughter at the three men’s actions. The older women were all well-meaning and simply curious; once they had seen enough, they dispersed.
With the space in front of them cleared, the three looked at each other, exhaled simultaneously, and then burst into laughter.
In the washing area, Xu Zhizhi washed herself from head to toe, thoroughly washing away her fatigue and dust.
After I finished cleaning and washing, I saw a naked, human-shaped tomato jump out from behind me.
“Sister Xu, would you like a back scrub?”
Hearing this, Xu Zhizhi was both amused and exasperated. “Thank you, Da Ya, but I have a baby in my belly, so I can’t rub your back!”
Daya wasn’t annoyed at all, and said seriously, “Okay, I’ll rub it for you again after my sister gives birth to a little brother!”
Xu Zhizhi: This naming convention is a bit confusing!
When the three of them came out, Li Wenzhu and Gu Xiangbei were already waiting at the entrance of the women’s bathhouse.
When Li Wenzhu saw Xu Zhizhi after taking a bath and changing into a floral cotton-padded jacket, his eyes lit up. Usually, there were unmarried young women in the village who wore floral cotton-padded jackets, but he didn’t think they looked good. But today, when his wife wore one, he realized that floral cotton-padded jackets could look so good!
The warmth of the steam made her face glow with a rosy hue, even more alluring than the peaches she used to eat.
On his way back to his room, he glanced at it again and again.
However, Xu Zhizhi had exhausted all her strength and energy. Her legs and hands were weak, and she was walking unsteadily, almost hitting her head several times.
Seeing this, Li Wenzhu simply stepped forward, picked up his wife, and quickly carried her to the room.
Behind them, Gu Xiangbei and Zhang Chun’e covered one of Daya’s eyes with perfect coordination, while simultaneously opening their mouths with maternal smiles on their faces!
Getting up close and personal with a couple makes all the difference!
After the two disappeared at the top of the stairs, Zhang Chun’e rubbed her lower back and looked at Gu Xiangbei.
“Head north, my back hurts…”
Gu Xiangbei hoisted Da Ya onto his shoulder. “Come on, I have some medicinal wine in my bag, it’s really useful!”
