My Girlfriend Catherine (Novella) Zhang Baotong 2016.3.21

3. Sleep at night

My family is among the poorest in the village. In recent years, other families have almost built two-story buildings, but our family still lives in a bungalow from more than 10 years ago. Our house has five rooms, and in the middle is the hall house, which is a place where we usually eat and receive guests. There was only a small square table and some small wooden chairs. The TV was placed on one side of the corner. Because the ratings are not good, no one usually watches it.

There were two rooms on each side of the hall, and the house on the west side of the hall was empty, with food and some miscellaneous items, and the parents lived in the westernmost room. The room on the east side of the hall is for me, and the room next door is for temporary relatives or guests. There are also two side houses on the west and east sides of the house. The west side room is the kitchen, and the east side room is the toilet and the warehouse where farm tools are stacked.

Catherine naturally wanted to stay in the room next door to me. Although the condition of my house is not good, I want to make my guests as satisfied as possible. So, my mom cleaned the house and put a brand new quilt, mattress and sheet on the bed. The quilt is wide and large, very thick, and weighs more than ten pounds. Because my mother was afraid of the cold at night, she froze Catherine.

Usually when I am at home, I always talk a lot to my mother in the evening, but because Catherine is here, I have to spend more time with her, because she is the first time to come to my house, and she is still unfamiliar.

I took Catherine into her room, talked to her, and arranged for her to sleep. Then he went back to his room, went up to the bed, and leaned against the head of the bed while reading a book. Because I've been with Catherine all day, I haven't spoken to my mom properly. I think my mom will come and talk to me somewhere. It's been a habit for almost years.

But, after a while, the phone rang, and when I saw that it was Catherine, I asked, "What's wrong, baby?"

She said, "Honey, I can't sleep. ”

I wondered if it was a change of place, and she didn't feel comfortable, so she said, "Why don't you come here?" Actually, I know it's not good, and if my mother sees it, she will definitely say that I, after all, Catherine and I are not married. Catherine, however, had already run from the next room, barely clothed. As soon as she got into my quilt, I felt a little cold on her, so I hurriedly took off my clothes, went into the quilt, hugged her tightly, and warmed her with my body.

I said, "Change places, can't sleep?"

She coquettishly said, "I want to be with you." ”

I said, "Aren't we together all day?"

She said, "At night, I want to be with you too." ”

I said, "But, we're not married, and it's going to be bad for my mom to see that we're sleeping together." ”

And she said, "Why? Doesn't she want us to fall in love?"

I said, "No, we have a lot of customs here, and unmarried men and women can't sleep together." ”

It's strange to say that, as soon as my words fell, my mother suddenly pushed the door and entered the house. She immediately saw that Catherine and I were sleeping under a quilt, and that Catherine had one arm around my neck. She seemed taken aback, turned around quickly, and walked out the door.

I felt a fever in my face, and I thought that tomorrow morning, my mother would definitely give me a harsh lecture, but I still said, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

My mom panicked and said, "It's okay, it's okay." "I was in a hurry to go out.

But Catherine didn't think so, and said, "Mother, can you help bring my quilt and clothes from the house over there?"

I patted her on the hand, telling her not to say anything like that, because it would easily give my mom the impression that Catherine was a very open girl. I'd rather let my mom talk about me than have my mom have a bad opinion of Catherine. But she snorted at me, looking disapproving.

My mom took Catherine's quilt and her clothes from the next room, carefully laid them out on my bed, and then asked Catherine, "Is it cold?"

Catherine said, "It's a little cold, otherwise, I wouldn't have gone to Xu Bin's side to sleep." "This is obviously shirking responsibility, saying that the quilt my mother gave her is not thick enough.

Of course, my mom knew she was embarrassed and wanted to find a reason for herself, so she said, "I'll add another quilt to you?"

Catherine hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Mom, you don't have to take it, I slept with Xu Bin, it was very warm." ”

My mom said, "Okay, go to sleep." ”

I said, "Mom, you call my cousin and ask him to drive the car tomorrow, and I want to take Catherine to the Qu Zi Temple." ”

My mom said, "Okay. ”

When my mom left, I was a little heavy, so I sighed and said, "This is bad, my mom will definitely talk about me tomorrow." ”

Catherine asked, "What would you say?"

I said, "I'll say I'm disrespectful and unruly." ”

Catherine blinked and asked me very seriously, "Doesn't she think I love you very much?"

With Catherine by my side, I couldn't read or talk to my mother, so I decided to go to bed early. We made out for a while, and then I went to sleep in the quilt next to me. However, Catherine refused, hugged me and said in a earnest tone, "Please, my Oriental beauty, my sweetheart." ”

But I said, "No, we're always like this together, and we can't sleep well at night." "Because I'm used to sleeping alone at night, I can't sleep with other people. If you don't sleep well at night, you'll be listless and won't be able to do anything the next day.

She listened to me and said, "Okay, you're going to wait until I pee before you leave." ”

I knew she wanted to warm her up after urinating, so I said, "Okay." ”

Winters in Hunan are almost as cold as in Xi'an, especially at night, when the water freezes. Therefore, sometimes I hold my urine at night and don't want to get up to urinate. However, if you don't urinate, you can't sleep.

She was going to get up and pee. Since she had almost no clothes on, I was afraid that she would catch a cold, so I asked her to wrap the quilt around her body and squat on the edge of the bed. Then, I got out of bed shirtless in my shorts and held the urine bucket for her to pee. She may not be used to it and can't pee for half a day.

She saw me naked and standing under the bed, afraid that I would freeze, and said, "I'm sorry, I still can't pee." Otherwise, I won't pee. ”

I said, "It's okay, baby, I'll wait until you finish peeing." ”

She said, "But then you're going to be cold." ”

I said, "I'm not afraid, I'm used to it." ”

She pulled up my down jacket and draped it over me, saying, "It's the first time I've urinated like this." ”

I said, "You'll know how we rural people urinate at night." ”

She laughed and said, "It's also a fun experience." As he spoke, he peed out.

We went under the covers, and this time she was warming me up, because she thought I was her hero.

My body warmed up, and I said, "I'm leaving." ”

But she put her arms around my neck and said, "My Don Quixote, my warrior, you haven't said goodnight to me yet." ”

I said, "Good night, my honorable young lady. Then, he came out of the warm quilt and slipped into the cold quilt next to him.
