Chapter 101 The Selfishness of Others

This night, Tong Keji couldn't sleep. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info recalled the experience of "listening to the window roots" with Duan Xiangqiu in the teahouse today, Tong Keji couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion and mixed feelings.

"Listening to the root of the window" is a custom in the north, and it is a sequel to the "haunted cave house". On the wedding night, some people who have not yet had fun in the cave room will sneak under the window of the cave room after the bride and groom "turn off the lights and sleep, and smile with their eyebrows open", and eavesdrop on the conversation of the bride and groom on the wedding night or the "movement" made by the two when they are making love!

More than ten years ago, when Tong Keji and Liu Lianxin were still teenage junior high school students, the second brother Wang in the miscellaneous courtyard got married. Marriage was very different then than it is now. Let's talk about people first: Since the degree of social openness is still in its infancy, before getting married, men and women watch movies together, go to the park or something, and the way to express their feelings is at most to hold hands or find a place where the street lamp can't shine and secretly hug twice, and there will be no "deeper" moves. In this way, most of the men and women on the wedding night are still "unpacked original goods", and they are authentic "grooms" and "brides". Unlike now, before getting married, the homework that should be done on the wedding night has been pre-studied in advance, and when it comes to marriage, not to mention the packaging, even the goods in the package have already been "used for N years and N times", saying that it is "groom" and "bride", in fact, it has long become "old goods". It is best to describe a couplet in Zhang Xianliang's "Half of a Man is a Woman", that is-"A new couple, two old guys!"

Let's talk about the room. At that time, China's real estate market had just just tested the waters in Shenzhen and several other special zones, or how could we say that Shenzhen was the "Whampoa Military Academy" of China's real estate market! Real estate tycoons such as Wang Shi'er and Pan Shiyi were still roaming the streets of Shenzhen at that time! If a mainlander gets married, unlike buying a few rooms and a few living rooms now, if he is greedy for a state-owned enterprise or a ruling organ that is in a monopoly position and has good benefits, he will be divided into a one-bedroom apartment or a tube building when he gets married. And if the house in the parents' big compound was given to their son as a new house, the younger couple would have a new house, but the old couple would have to sleep on the road! What should we do? Chairman Mao and his old man had already taught us to do it ourselves, and we should have enough food and clothing -- build it! Anyway, there was no city management at that time! Facts have proved that it was very wise to build a house by ourselves; later, when the demolition and reconstruction of the large courtyard area was carried out, the "illegal building" built by Wang Erge himself was actually exchanged for a three-bedroom apartment from the developer!

However, the writer Comrade Liu Zhenyun said: Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize, and you ask me how I feel, just like my brother marries his daughter-in-law and enters the cave room, and you have to ask me how I feel! After talking for a long time, what does this have to do with Tong Keji and Duan Xiangqiu? Of course it does! Because Second Brother Wang's new house, which is an illegal building, was built next to Duan Xiangqiu, no, it was built next door to Liu Lianxin! Moreover, in order to save bricks, cement, and wages on a wall, he actually shared a wall with Liu Lianxin's room!

On the second day of Second Brother Wang's wedding, not long after dinner, Liu Lianxin ran to Tong Keji's window and shouted: "Tong Keji, come out, I can't do a few questions, can you help me take a look?"

Tong Keji came to Liu Lianxin's room, next door to Second Brother Wang's new house. I don't know why, Lianxin, who has always been studying top-notch children in the class, will not do a lot of questions today, and just when Tong Keji patiently answered the questions for her one by one, a new question appeared - because it was a newlywed and a package that had just been unpacked last night, the second brother Wang and the second sister-in-law Wang couldn't wait to start "using the new goods" as soon as they finished dinner! The sound of the second brother Wang and the second sister-in-law Wang playing in the fish and water all passed through the wall and rushed straight into the eardrums of Tong Keji and Liu Lianxin. Liu Lianxin glanced at Tong Keji with a red face, and found that Tong Keji was also looking at herself with a red face, so she immediately lowered her head and said softly: "I hate it to death, it rang all night last night......!"

"Do we count this as listening to the window?" After a long time, after the people next door and the bed had stopped a little, Tong Keji asked Liu Lianxin softly a little shyly. "Probably...... Forget it!" Lian Xin said softly with a red face, for fear of alarming the second brother or sister-in-law next door: "But we shouldn't be eavesdropping, but we have to listen!" Tong Keji saw that it was a poem called "Helpless" - "I said I didn't want to listen / so I hid in the house / The roof couldn't refuse the sound of rain / Listen to it / Listen to it if you don't listen to it!" The corner of Tong Keji's mouth twitched slightly, and Xu smiled evilly: "It's quite helpless!"

The situation in the Deyuelou Tea House tonight is exactly the same as the situation in the miscellaneous courtyard back then, and it is also very ...... Helpless - the two were originally drinking tea, but they overheard the sound of clouds and rain from the men and women next door. The difference is that now Tong Keji is no longer a shy little boy, and Duan Xiangqiu is no longer a young girl. After more than ten years of baptism and life experience, both of them are already from the past. When Duan Xiangqiu said, "We are still listening to the window together like last time", it not only resolved the embarrassing atmosphere at that time, but also found a sufficient excuse for what he had just heard and would continue to listen. However, for Tong Keji, who is already a person who has come over, just listening to the "sound of clouds and rain" once will not make him unable to sleep, so what makes it difficult for him to fall asleep, and what makes him feel a lot of emotions and mixed feelings?

It turned out that in the teahouse next door, in the "glamorous sound" of "loud noise is torrential rain, and whispering is a whisper", Tong Keji and Duan Xiangqiu heard a voice that they were both very familiar with - Pingping!
