Chen Chu was a little confused. Thinking of Liu Bingbing's slender waist, a wave of alluring feeling washed over him…
Everyone says women are the best at deceiving people, and the prettier the woman, the better she is at deceiving people, but no one should play tricks on people like this!
However, through this test, Chen Chu also discovered that he had really fallen in love with Liu Bingbing.
Xiao Lian is gone, that's all. She's so fickle, who knows who she's hooking up with in Shencheng! Her second sister, Xiao Qing, was able to marry a man almost twenty years older than her, so she'll definitely find her sister a rich man too, he doesn't even need to think about it.
He didn't want to be with Liu Cui either, because she already had a family and a career, so it was impossible for her to be with him. Xu Hong was also out of the question; the two of them didn't have anything in common. Besides, all Xu Hong knew was how to fight and how awesome she was. Damn... if you had a wife like Xu Hong, wouldn't you be fighting with people every day?
Lu Xiaoqiao is another story. She's always grinning like that. I'm going to ask my mom to cut her... God, I'm really afraid that kind of girl will try to commit suicide by cutting her wrists one day. Her resilience is too weak.
There's a type of woman like Xiaolongnu who's utterly despicable. Why? She left Yang Guo only a few days ago, and immediately went to marry the Valley Master of Heartbreak at the bottom of the Valley of Heartbreak. Even if the Valley Master saved her from the bottom, how long had it been? She could forget a man she loved so much??? And when Yang Guo found out, they were about to have their wedding ceremony. Before that, did they sleep together...? Anyway, the book doesn't go into details.
However, it's normal for couples who are about to get married to have sex a few times. Even if they're too shy, touching hands and feet, scratching and pricking, touching buttocks, and fiddling with their genitals will surely bring some desire, right?
Little Dragon Girl, tsk tsk tsk, what a slut... After being forcibly raped by a Taoist priest, she still ran around with him for quite a few days. How shameless is that?
...
As for other women, Chen Chu felt none of them were as deeply involved as Liu Bingbing, including Ji Xiaotao. With Liu Bingbing around, he seemed to have forgotten about Ji Xiaotao somewhat, and sometimes he would try his best to remember her.
But the image was always blurry. Chen Chu looked up at the starry sky and suddenly wondered if it was because Liu Bingbing was pregnant with this child? Was it because Liu Bingbing had a child with him that he was so attached to this woman? Or was it because Liu Bingbing didn't want anything from him—no house, no dowry, no job—that Liu Bingbing would definitely choose to be with him despite the strong pressure from her family?
Chen Chu let out a breath, feeling that he shouldn't have doubted her...
Sigh... Chen Chu felt relieved, but realized he needed to be more careful when he was messing around with other women in the future.
Just like what that woman, whose stage name was Xiaoyan, said about the owner of the bathhouse, he was afraid of being caught by his wife when he was having sex with prostitutes. It wasn't that he was really afraid of his wife, but that he was afraid of hurting her feelings. Chen Chu was the same. He met Liu Bingbing when he had almost nothing, and now he felt that he should cherish her.
As for the other women, he was sincere. What man doesn't have a few female confidantes? Even the great leader and mentor, Marx, had female confidantes.
...
Chen Chu wiped the sweat from his brow, feeling that it was just a false alarm, but he also had a feeling that he was about to lose something.
It was as if his heart had been suddenly snatched away by something. He ran and ran, trying to grab his heart back, almost falling into despair, feeling like he would never have a heart again. But then, that heart suddenly returned to his body. Now, for Chen Chu, that heart was Liu Bingbing.
"That girl is fucking a jerk!" Chen Chu cursed under his breath, but then he remembered what Old Zhang had said: true love between a man and a woman is not lust, but the feeling that transcends any lust, even without it.
He remembered Old Zhang saying that he was vulgar, and unbearably so.
List
Chen Chu suddenly realized that what Old Zhang said was right. Maybe this old rogue was a playboy when he was young, and in the end he found true love but lost it.
Anyway, Chen Chu felt like his heart was tied to Liu Bingbing, unable to move, and it would hurt if he tried to move it.
After calming down for a while, Chen Chu gently touched the jade thumb ring, and his mind finally settled down. He used to think of himself as a heartless person, but now he understood that people are all emotional, and even the most cold-blooded person will eventually have feelings; it just depends on whether they meet that person who is emotional.
After calming down for a while, Chen Chu realized what he had been doing. Damn it, the fire in the backyard was finally out; he needed to get down to business. It was getting late. Chen Chu wondered who he should go to for the second person. It was Dr. Yuan again, and damn Xu Guozhong…
Chen Chu went straight to Xu Guozhong's house. The old guy was having a late-night snack, eating two salted duck eggs and even picking at them with his dick while holding chopsticks.
Although his wife is formidable, she treats him very well, serving him small bottles of wine, with sauerkraut stew with vermicelli, scallions, soybean paste, and pickled vegetables on the side.
The old man is drinking so well, it's indescribable.
When Chen Chu came in, his wife was still scolding him.
"Xu Guozhong! You stingy bastard! You ran out of salted duck eggs and didn't even tell me! I would have given you two more!"
Xu Guozhong's wife swayed her thick waist as she went, and laughed heartily when she saw Chen Chu.
"Brother's here! Come in and sit down! Have a couple of drinks with your brother Xu! Your wife will cook you two dishes! Hahaha!"
Chen Chu grinned.
When Xu Guozhong's wife's hand landed on Chen Chu's shoulder, it made a loud slapping sound.
Chen Chu let out a sound of surprise.
He thought to himself, "Xu Guozhong is so lucky. With a wife like that, how can he be bullied? He really doesn't know how to use her. If he gets beaten up outside, he should just grab his wife and go after them, yelling, 'Who the hell dares to hit me! I'll have my wife kill you all!'"
That's incredibly awesome! Nobody would dare lay a finger on him.
Xu Guozhong grinned when he saw Chen Chu enter. For one thing, Xu Guozhong felt that Chen Chu had stolen his position as deputy village chief. This little brat, with his crooked thinking, had actually managed to become the village chief of Xiaoyangshu Village? Pah! Has he grown any hair yet?
He wanted to go to the village to report it, but when he got there, he accidentally learned that Chen Chu met the national standards and was twenty-one years old this year...
Holy crap! When did they change the household registration too? That was incredibly fast!
Xu Guozhong could only look at Chen Chu with disdain.
Chen Chu chuckled and said, "Director Xu, shall we have a drink?"
"Oh? Sit down, let's have a drink together."
Chen Chu shook his head: "I just finished drinking..."
...
There's a long-standing custom, or rather a tradition, in rural areas: no matter how big the grudge, no matter what the matter is, you should sit down and talk it over, especially when other people are eating. When you arrive at someone's mealtime, you must be courteous and defer to them.
At the very least, even if you don't eat, you should at least have a drink; that's considered polite.
In all things, propriety comes first; without it, nothing can be accomplished.
Even if Xu Guozhong bothered Chen Chu, he still understood the proper etiquette.
Chen Chu didn't want to drink here either, but Xu Guozhong still shouted, "You old hag, my brother's here! Grab a cup! Pour some wine!"
"Hey!" Xu Guozhong's wife came running over to pour the wine.
Although Xu Guozhong is afraid of his wife, he is still a man, and this situation may not exist in city people or some other places.
However, even the fiercest rural women, unless they are like Aunt Ma Xiaohe, generally give men face in public.
For example, Xu Guozhong showed off in front of Chen Chu and cursed his wife a few times. Although he knew that his fate might be terrible after Chen Chu left, he still had to put on a show of face and establish his power in front of others.
However, at night, his wife still rode on top of him, crushing his bones.
Xu Guozhong's wife poured wine for Chen Chu.
Chen Chu saw that her hands were very rough, even rougher than a man's hands.
My hands were covered in black cuts.
Why is it black?
Many TV dramas about rural life are disgusting. Are rural people really like they are portrayed in these dramas? In your dreams, these shows like "Country Love" and "Country Love" have mythologized rural areas to the point of being sacred.
Rural life is actually very dull and very difficult.
For example, Xu Guozhong's wife has many cuts on her hands. Rural people generally don't wear gloves when working in the fields because wearing gloves means they are not working and can't do the work, such as cutting corn stalks.
There are nearly 100,000 corn stalks in one hectare of land. It's not one or two, not a few hundred, and it's not like playing a game of stealing vegetables. You could count them on your fingers and you'd be exhausted.
Besides, they have to be cut one by one with a sickle.
Moreover, it wasn't done by cutting the corn one stalk at a time, which would be exhausting and make the villagers laugh at you. Instead, you had to gather four or five stalks in each hand and cut them, with one person standing in the middle furrow, cutting corn from three rows at the same time.
Therefore, rural-themed TV dramas are too fake. The screenwriters and directors seem to have no brains, and they rely on the stars to keep it going.
Moreover, after finishing the work, you still have to go home and cook, do laundry, feed the pigs, and beat the dogs.
There's so much farm work to do; you can't do it without calloused hands.
Although Chen Chu's father, Chen Dejiang, collected scraps, his hands were covered in calluses.
Chen Chu, on the other hand, had been living a life of luxury and womanizing for the past six months. He had grown taller and the calluses on his hands had disappeared.
Xu Guozhong's hands were quite white and slender. He was a village accountant who did nothing but fiddle with an abacus all day.
But his wife does all the work, and she feels proud that her husband is the village accountant. Although Xu Guozhong's wife is not good-looking, she treats him well. This kind of wife is the most suitable for marriage.
Xu Guozhong's wife brought out a wine glass, but Chen Chu refused to drink it; she insisted on pouring him the wine anyway.
I can't refuse to drink it; if I don't, I'll be embarrassing them.
Although rural areas are poor, they are real.
"Brother, come sit on the kang (heated brick bed), it's warm inside!" Xu Guozhong's wife said.
Chen Chu replied with a soft "yes".
He took off his shoes and sat down on the kang (a heated brick bed).
This can be considered a form of politeness.
Xu Guozhong's wife cooked two more dishes and quickly brought them to the table. The fire from the corn stalks in the countryside was quick, and the dishes were cooked fast and fragrant, much better than those cooked in the city using liquefied gas.
The local environment shapes the local people. The naturally burning flames and the dishes cooked in the big iron pot have a flavor that lingers in your memory. It's a natural aftertaste, or rather, a feeling of savoring nature itself.
At this moment, Xu Guozhong reached out to take the dishes his wife brought over.
His wife yelled, "Get the hell out of here! Get the hell out of here!"
Xu Guozhong grinned.
His wife put the food on the table and then scolded, "Did you burn your hand? If you burn your dog paws, how will you ever use an abacus again?"
Xu Guozhong gave an awkward smile.
