Because there was an emergency at the breeding factory, Chen Tian told Cheng Xiang where to live and left in a hurry.
Cheng Xiang looked around. Although the big work was done, there was still a lot of small work that had to be sorted out slowly.
Walking into the bedroom on the left side of the living room, there is a large bed, a cabinet, a dressing table, and a bookcase. The furniture is new in color and has a faint woody fragrance. It seems that they are all newly made furniture.
There was no technology in those days, everything was solid wood, and there was no need to worry about formaldehyde.
Opening the cabinet, there were quilts, sheets, and pillows inside, which seemed to be newly made. Zhou Tianlei was quite thoughtful this time.
Cheng wanted to put his clothes in the cabinet and arrange the bottles and jars.
At this time, the courtyard door rang and someone came in.
Cheng wanted to go out and take a look. They were two middle-aged women and the little boy who had just led her.
"Who are you?" Cheng Xiang asked politely.
"Hey, why is she such a beautiful little daughter-in-law?" One of them shouted in surprise when he saw Cheng Xiang.
Cheng Xiang smiled awkwardly.
Another woman replied, "We are neighbors next door. Just call me Sister-in-law Guiqin." This Guiqin seemed quite kind.
"You call me Aunt Xiuhua. We heard that Xiaoleizi's daughter-in-law from the city is here, so we came over to see if there is anything we can do for you." Aunt Xiuhua, who had a loud voice, didn't wait for Cheng to want to speak, then she went to herself. Entered the house.
"Hey, have you packed everything?" Xiuhua looked at the delicate little girl in front of her: "You are quite capable of doing this, considering how delicate you are."
"Grandma, she's not lame or ugly." The child next to her kept looking at Cheng and wanted to say.
Suddenly the two women looked at each other in embarrassment, and Xiuhua pulled the child away: "What are you talking about? Be careful, I'll beat you up."
Cheng Xiang had a question mark on his face: "Ugly? Me?"
"Yes, they all said that the city wife that Uncle Leizi married must be a lame and ugly, so she was willing to marry Uncle Leizi..." Xiuhua came up and slapped the boy on the head, stopping him. if.
The boy started crying in grievance. Cheng Xiang probably guessed that the villagers must have thought that a city girl who was willing to marry to the countryside must have some hidden disease or not be good-looking.
She pulled the boy over and said, "Don't hit the child. What do children know? They are just imitating how adults speak."
Both women smiled coquettishly.
Cheng Xiang leaned over and wiped the child's tears and asked, "What's your name?"
"My name is Huzi" Huzi sobbed.
"Huzi? Does Huzi think Auntie is ugly?" Cheng Xiang asked him, blinking.
Huzi looked at Cheng Xiang and said crazily: "Auntie is not ugly, she looks like a fairy."
"What are fairies like? Have you seen them?" Cheng wanted to tease him.
"My mother said that fairies are white and glow, and you are like that," Huzi said naively.
"I'll take it as a compliment and reward you with a candy." Cheng Xiang smiled and took out a white rabbit from his pocket and gave it to Huzi.
"Sugar?" Tanghuzi's eyes lit up when he saw Tanghuzi. In this period, sugar was a rare thing. The price of sugar was almost the same as meat. Only those who celebrated a happy event would buy some to entertain guests.
Huzi took the candy and ran out happily, probably to show off to his friends.
Cheng Xiang also gave each of the two women two candies.
The woman refused and took it, but she didn't eat it. Instead, she put it in her hand. She must be reluctant to take it back and give it to her children. Parents in this era are like this. They always think of their children if they have any good things.
Just in time, let’s inquire about Zhou Tianlei’s situation.
"Sister-in-law and aunt, please take a seat. My name is Cheng Xiang. You can ask me to think about it, just a small thought. I'm new here, so please forgive me if I'm not thoughtful." Cheng Xiang politely gave up his seat.
Cheng Xiang's politeness and sincerity greatly benefited these two women, and their impression of Cheng Xiang also increased a bit.
Xiuhua sat down and said: "Don't listen to the nonsense of the child. You are a city girl who is willing to marry to the countryside. No wonder others think too much about it, right?"
"Yes." Cheng Xiang nodded with a smile, and then asked, "Zhou Tianlei has a child this week. Was he married before? Divorced?"
"You don't know? He used to be a soldier. He joined the army when he was 18 years old. He came back when he was 25 years old. Not long after, a woman came to him with two children, saying that they were his father. The woman was there After living here for a few months, he abandoned the child and left. I heard that he wouldn’t sleep with others.”
"Ahem!" Cheng Xiang choked on the sip of water he just drank.
Guiqin pulled Xiuhua to signal her to stop talking nonsense.
Cheng wanted to say: "It's okay, it's okay. We are just chatting. It doesn't matter, I want to hear it." Cheng wanted to grab a handful of fruit candies and give them to them, trying to find something to say.
Xiuhua's eyes shone when she saw the candy, and she stretched out her hand to grab a handful, "Look at what a good girl Xiaoxiang is, what are you afraid of if we tell people the truth? They will be able to deal with it in the future."
"Auntie is right, tell me, I am willing to listen."
"Xiao Xiang, my aunt is just thinking that you are a good person, so she secretly told you that Zhou Tianlei may not be able to work there." Xiuhua curled her lips and said with a look of regret, "I heard that I injured my root on the battlefield. Just recovered."
"Stop talking nonsense here. This is also spread by others. We don't know what it is like. Don't let Zhou Tianlei know about it. You are the one who looks good." Guiqin thought of Zhou Tianlei's fierce black face and her heart trembled. "I still have something to do at home, I'm leaving first."
Guiqin stood up to leave, Xiuhua quickly followed suit and said, "I'm talking too much. Maybe it's okay. You'll find out if you try in the future. Let's go first."
After sending them away, Cheng Xiang fell into deep thought, couldn't he? No wonder the heroine in the original text would cuckold him.
What will I do in the future? Although..., everyone has needs, hey, forget it, it's good not to have to suffer the pain of giving birth, Cheng Xiang thought to himself.
At night, Cheng Xiang closed the door. The 2-meter-high courtyard wall was covered with iron spikes. There should be no problem with safety.
Cheng Xiang boiled water and took a shower, put on a silk suspender nightgown, lay on the bed, and washed away the fatigue of the day.
Thinking back on the past and thinking about the future, I gradually started to feel sleepy.
I don’t know how long it took, but a rustling voice came from the yard: “Is there a thief?”
Cheng Xiang got up excitedly, slowly opened the door, walked to the living room window and looked out.
By the moonlight, Cheng Xiang saw a naked man taking a shower by the well in the yard. The man was tall and tall, nearly 1.9 meters tall. A ladle of water was poured from his head, and the water droplets slid over his muscular body. The arms and strong waist flow along the mermaid line to an unspeakable part, where it is vaguely quite spectacular.
"This figure is my heavenly dish," Cheng Xiang thought to himself, feeling the blood rushing up and his face getting a little hot.
Suddenly a mosquito bit his arm, and Cheng Xiang patted his arm with a "pop" sound.
The man turned his head warily and growled: "Who?"
