Stepping on the stool outside to enter the tub is convenient and safe.
The tub was very big. Sitting on the inner stool, Cheng Xiang's petite body felt very comfortable soaking in it. It was difficult for Zhou Tianlei to carry so much water.
Cheng Xiang was chatting with Zhou Tianlei at the door.
After about half an hour, Cheng Xiang put on the shower gel and rinsed his body.
"Yeah." Cheng Xiang called out softly from inside the room.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Tianlei asked quickly after hearing this.
"I...I forgot to bring my pajamas." Cheng Xiang's soft and waxy voice came from the bathroom.
.... Zhou Tianlei's throat tightened and he said in a deep voice: "I'll get it for you."
Zhou Tianlei took out the thin green silk suspender pajamas from the bedroom. The light piece of fabric was kneaded in his hands.
Walking to the bathroom door, he knocked on the door and asked softly: "Is it these cucumber green pajamas?"
Cheng Xiang rolled his eyes at the door. He was a straight man and said angrily, "That's green."
The bathroom door opened a small gap, and a small hand that had always been white and soft stretched out, as well as a delicate arm with half of it covered with water drops.
Zhou Tianlei's fingers slid over her wrist privately and put the clothes in her hand.
The light touch of the man's fingertips made Cheng Xiang inside the door suddenly tighten and tremble slightly.
Cheng wanted to get dressed and walk out of the bathroom.
After the beauty finished bathing, she emerged from the water with hibiscus and her face was as pink as jade. Zhou Tianlei was stunned when he saw it.
Under the moonlight, the green pajamas made her skin look better than snow, and her face was flushed after being fumigated by the hot water.
Her hair is rolled up casually on the top of her head, with a few strands of wet hair hanging on her neck, giving her a lazy beauty.
A pair of peach blossom eyes are filled with moisture, smart and charming.
Zhou Tianlei's eyes became hot, he stepped forward and gently hugged her into his arms, lowering his head and burying himself in her neck.
Her body fragrance, along with the sweetness of the shower gel, impacted his sense of smell.
He rubbed his lips against her neck, greedily absorbing her scent.
He made a low, hoarse voice: "It smells so good."
Cheng Xiang's neck was tickled by his breath, and he couldn't help giggling and shrinking his neck.
Zhou Tianlei chuckled secretly and asked in a low voice: "So ticklish?"
Cheng Xiang nodded tenderly.
Zhou Tianlei stepped back a little distance, lowered his head and saw the fullness of her chest, and a thought flashed in his mind: "I'm wearing nothing under this dress."
This thought couldn't help but make his blood surge.
He suppressed the heat in his body and said in a hoarse voice: "Go back to the house, it's cold outside."
He led Cheng Xiang back to the living room, carefully examined her wounds, helped her dry her hair, and then drove her to bed.
Zhou Tianlei walked to the bathroom, drained the water from the tub, cleaned the tub, and took a cold shower before he could suppress the restlessness in his body.
The next day, Cheng Xiang asked someone to send a message to Zhang Qingxiang, asking him to come to work on the pig farm.
Zhang Qingxiang arrived at the pig farm in the afternoon and looked at each other with Zhou He in the office.
"Why is this kid here?" Zhou He thought to himself, "What is Brother Lei's plan?"
After a while, Zhou Tianlei came over with Chen Tian.
Zhou Tianlei sat on the chair and lit a cigarette.
Chen Tian looked at Zhang Qingxiang and asked, "Brother, besides making pigs, what else can you do?"
Zhang Qingxiang pondered for a moment and said: "I know how to deliver babies. I have learned it before."
"Can you cut pork?" Chen Tian asked again.
Zhang Qingxiang shook his head naively, and then said: "I can learn."
Chen Tian nodded, then stretched out his fist and punched Zhang Qingxiang's chest twice, making a booming sound.
He smiled and said, "You have to work hard."
Zhou Tianlei took a few puffs of cigarette, put the cigarette butt into the ashtray, and said to Chen Tian, "I'll leave it to you, take it with you."
Chen Tian agreed with a smile: "Okay, come with me, buddy."
Zhang Qingxiang followed Chen Tian out.
Zhou Tianlei stood up and said to Zhou He: "I remember you know a treacherous man who resells medicinal materials."
Zhou He nodded and said, "Yes, I met him on the black market in the first few years."
A few years ago, the market was not so free, and materials were controlled and purchased by ticket.
However, due to the scarcity of materials in the market, the supply exceeds demand, and the black market has emerged. Anyone with rich meat, eggs, and poultry can buy and sell it on the black market, which is commonly known as speculation. Antique medicinal materials often appear on the black market.
A few years ago, Zhou He got a folk prescription to treat lung disease. The medicinal herbs contained in it were not available in drug stores, so he thought about going to the black market.
He walked around twice, but he didn't see anyone selling medicinal materials. Instead, he saw someone reselling antiques. There was a porcelain bowl and a porcelain bottle on the ground, with a piece of paper underneath that said "Buy or sell."
A young man wearing a striped navy vest, with slightly longer hair and bangs blocking his eyes, was taking a nap against the corner.
Zhou He thought about buying medicinal materials for Teacher Xin and some nutritional supplements by the way, but money was really tight recently.
I walked to the stall and called out, "Hey, do you want to collect the items?"
The young man raised his eyes and glanced at him. He was a young man, and then he narrowed his eyes again: "What object? Let's take a look."
Zhou He took out a jade-colored cigarette holder from his arms. In the past few years, the young Red Guard general criticized the rich man Li in his village.
Although Rich Man Li is rich, he is not a bad person. Many of the lonely elderly people in the village who lack food and clothing receive his care.
He was trapped in the village committee cowshed, and Zhou He gave him half a steamed bun.
He ate the steamed buns and said to Zhou He: "The bottom row of bricks on the east wall of our house. Counting from the left, the tenth brick can be removed. There is a box inside with some money and a few items. You can Take it out and give it to my daughter who is going to school in the city, and tell her not to come back, and to run as far as she can. You can take something from the box, which is a thank you gift from me."
"Aren't you afraid that I'll take the money and cheat on myself?" Zhou He asked him with eyes wide open.
Rich Man Li laughed sadly: "Although you are naughty, you are a real kid. I believe in you. If you really commit suicide, it will be my life. There is nothing to complain about."
Zhou He was so brave at that time that he actually stole the box under the eyes of the Red Guards. He opened it and took a look. There were many victims inside, as well as some gold and silver jewelry, which looked valuable.
He saw a small jade-colored cigarette holder inside. It looked petite and cute, so he took it out and treated it as a thank you gift from Rich Man Li.
After several twists and turns, the box was handed over to Rich Man Li's daughter.
Rich Man Li suffered a lot of torture, including tiger stool, pepper water, and torture. He couldn't stand it anymore and hanged himself.
Zhou He had hidden this jade cigarette holder for several years. Now that the policy has been relaxed, he dared to take it out.
The young man squinted his eyes and glanced at the cigarette holder.
His eyes widened suddenly, and a glimmer of light flashed through his eyes.
But he soon returned to normal, took the cigarette holder, touched it around, and looked at it in the light.
He said lazily: "Your jade is mottled and not worth much."
