After dinner, Zhou Yang took out his journal, paper and pen, and continued working with the dim light from the 25-watt small light bulb in the room.
After Li Youwei cleared away the dishes, she began to boil water to give her and Bao'er a bath.
It's the hottest time of the year right now. Even if you don't work, you'll sweat a lot. If you don't take a shower, you really can't sleep.
The little girl played like crazy all day long and fell asleep from exhaustion just after taking a bath.
After settling the little girl, Li Youwei closed the door to her home and courtyard, and then scrubbed herself in the main room.
The conditions in the village are limited these days, so bathing is definitely a luxury.
Men can just go and take a dip in the river or reservoir if they want to wash themselves, but women can't and can only do it behind closed doors.
Listening to the sound of rushing water outside and thinking of his wife's graceful figure, Zhou Yang's heart suddenly became hot, his heartbeat began to accelerate, and his breathing became a little heavier.
All these things were in my mind, and the pen in my hand suddenly seemed to weigh a thousand pounds!
Knowing that his heart was in chaos, Zhou Yang immediately put away the manuscript of more than two thousand words, and then sat on the wooden stool, motionless.
Li Youwei finished washing it after ten minutes. After all, the floor at home was mud and could not withstand water stains for a long time.
"Squeak!"
The door to the back room was opened, and then Zhou Yang saw Li Youwei walking in.
She was wearing a white vest on her upper body and a pair of knee-length shorts made of unknown clothing. She was wearing flip-flops and wiping her wet hair with a towel as she walked.
Zhou Yang was really stunned by this outfit, and he couldn't help but fixate his eyes on his little wife.
After Li Youwei entered the door, she first glanced at Bao'er on the kang, and then turned to look at Zhou Yang, only to find that her man was looking straight at her, with an inexplicable flame in his eyes that seemed to devour her.
How could she not know what her man was thinking when she was already here? Suddenly, Li Youwei's pretty face turned red again, and even her exposed arms and neck turned light pink.
"What are you looking at? Go to bed quickly!" Li Youwei said shyly.
Zhou Yang was once again stunned by this coquettish yet shy expression, and his mind couldn't help but think of the famous scene of a noble lady taking a bath in Lao Bai's masterpiece "Song of Everlasting Sorrow":
Looking back and smiling, the sixth palace has no color.
In the cold spring, you can bathe in Huaqing Pool, and the hot spring water will wash away your fat.
The waiter helped her weakly, and it was the beginning of her new grace.
The flowers on the temples are swaying with golden steps, and the hibiscus tent is a warm spring night...
Well, Zhou Yang admitted that he was seduced by his little wife!
He immediately took a towel, left Li Youwei with the words "Wait for me", and then walked out of the house with the basin in hand.
Immediately afterwards, there was a splashing sound of scooping water outside!
After a simple battle bath, a shirtless Zhou Yang walked into the house and climbed into his wife's bed...
After a hearty battle, the couple cuddled together without feeling too hot.
Li Youwei rested her head on Zhou Yang's arm, and kept drawing circles on Zhou Yang's chest with one finger, with a satisfied look on her face.
Since she had been working on it for most of the night last night, she was really exhausted, so Zhou Yang didn't dare to work on it for too long today.
Zhou Yang's chest felt a little itchy because of this girl. He immediately freed up a hand and fixed her little hand on his chest. At the same time, he asked: "What are you thinking about? Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
"Think about us!"
"What's wrong with us?" Zhou Yang asked puzzledly.
"Do you know where my parents-in-law are?"
Zhou Yang asked curiously: "Why do you ask this?"
"We are now married, have obtained the certificate, and have given birth to a baby, but I, the daughter-in-law, have not yet met my parents-in-law, and Bao'er has not met her grandparents either!" Li Youwei said.
"So you want to meet my parents?"
"Of course it's best to meet them if you have the chance. If it's really not possible, it's also good to write them a letter. At least they want them to know that I, the daughter-in-law, and Bao'er, the precious granddaughter, exist!"
Zhou Yang said immediately: "I do know where my parents are sent to. It's on a small farm under An City in the next door province! After our autumn harvest is over, I will take you and Bao'er to meet them!"
In fact, Zhou Yang originally didn't know where his parents were sent, but with the memories of his previous life, he naturally knew that his parents were currently being rehabilitated at Dongquan Farm.
In his previous life, his parents often talked about the difficult days of those years in front of them, and he also had very deep memories of these things.
"Really...really?"
"Of course it's true. After all, an ugly daughter-in-law still has to meet her parents-in-law!" Zhou Yang said with a smile.
"You are the ugly one..."
"I'm ugly...I'm ugly...hehehe!"
"Go to bed quickly, we have to go to work tomorrow..."
........
There was nothing to say all night, and Li Youwei got up early the next day before the work whistle blew.
First she simply cooked some porridge, and then heated up the steamed buns specially left for Zhou Yang and Bao'er last night. After the whistle sounded, she woke up the sleeping father and daughter.
After breakfast, Li Youwei sent Baoer to the Li family compound first, and then went to work.
Zhou Yang, on the other hand, took his work report and rushed directly to the brigade headquarters!
By the time Zhou Yang came over, most of the villagers had arrived.
While waiting for the captains to assign tasks, the villagers gathered together in small groups, and the parents chatted and laughed.
"Did you hear that the son-in-law of Secretary Li's family quietly went to an educated youth spot to meet his mistress yesterday afternoon?"
"It's that Shen Zhiqing, right? I heard that the two of them were crying and crying yesterday, just like a pair of desperate mandarin ducks!"
"That kid is really nothing. He has a wife as good as Xiaowei, but he still goes out to break shoes..."
"That Shen Zhiqing is also shameless. I wonder if Zhou Zhiqing is already married..."
Although the voices of the villagers were not very loud, after Zhou Yang was reborn, his facial features seemed to have been strengthened in an unknown way, and the villagers' conversations could be heard from a distance.
He knew that this matter had to be stopped, otherwise, it would not only be Shen Chenlu and himself who would be harmed, but it might even affect Li Youwei and Bao'er.
Seeing Zhou Yang coming over, Chen Jianying and Zhang Genwang immediately began to assign tasks.
Soon, the tasks were assigned. Just when Chen Jianying was about to ask people to start work immediately, Zhou Yang suddenly said loudly: "Wait a minute, I have something to say!"
Although Chen Jianying was a little unhappy because his order was interrupted by Zhou Yang, he still said: "Since Zhou Zhiqing has something to say, let's wait a while before starting work!"
Zhou Yang strode to the front of the group of villagers, and then said loudly: "I heard that someone was spreading gossip about me and Shen Zhiqing behind my back. I didn't want to say anything more, but I am a married person now, so I have to give it. The wives and dolls at home are all responsible for me!"
"So I solemnly declare today that I have no shady relationship with Shen Zhiqing. The main reason why I went to see her at the Zhiqing Point yesterday was because she suddenly fainted in the field. She and I grew up in the same yard. Yes, she is like my sister in my eyes. How can I, a brother, turn a blind eye when my sister faints? Everyone thinks this is the truth!"
Then, Zhou Yang continued: "In addition, Comrade Li Youwei and I have obtained a marriage certificate and are a legal couple recognized by the state. We love each other and are loyal to our marriage. I will not allow anyone to destroy our marriage."
"So, I would also like to warn those who throw dirty water on us. If I find out that someone is gossiping behind my back in the future, I will make it difficult for them to walk away in vain!"
After speaking, Zhou Yang ignored anyone and returned directly to the office with his work notes, leaving only a group of villagers looking at each other in shock!
