Chapter 867: Pistol (I)
(a)
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's summer again. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In August, ANN and I were again invited by the Kaohsiung couple to vacation to one of their lakeside villas in Nanjing.
There is a newly built golf course near this villa, and Kaohsiung bought this property so that he can often fly in with friends to play golf.
I've always loved this villa because there is a long boardwalk around the lake. Every time I walk along the boardwalk around the lake, I always feel an inexplicable sense of déjà vu in my heart, as if I had experienced the same thing at some time, and I loved and cherished doing it so much at that time.
As soon as we arrived at the villa with a few children, the house was immediately lively, with the children running around on the floor excitedly, jumping into the sofa in the living room and rolling around, and the upstairs and downstairs were filled with children's laughter. Looking at their bright, carefree smiling faces, I felt like I saw the days when I was a teenager when I stayed in Bosan's wooden house.
Time passes, the teenagers of the past grow old, and new life grows up. History is always playing out similar scenes.
Looking at my emotional expression, Kaohsiung asked, "What do you think?" Regret not accepting my suggestion to buy a property with me? ”
I shook my head and said, "Before you know it, we're all getting old." ”
Kaohsiung scoffed: "You? You're just marrying early and having children early. You're still far from getting old. ”
I glanced at him.
"There is also a fireworks display by the lake in the evening," he said. It's spectacular. If you hear the news, and you still have enthusiasm and curiosity, then your heart is still quite young. ”
In his words.
I just realized that there was a real sense of excitement and curiosity in me.
I was amazed that I would have the same childish interest in this kind of thing in this world.
Didn't I have a heart like a dry well and couldn't afford it?
Surprised, I was deeply disappointed in myself.
――Maybe it's because I've been with ANN a lot and I've been influenced by my children, right?

I WENT BACK TO MY ROOM TO SORT OUT MY AND ANN'S LUGGAGE, AND FOUND THAT I HAD PACKED THE WRONG PIECE OF CLOTHING AND MISTAKENLY BROUGHT A SILK SHAWL FOR PAJAMAS.
So I asked the Kaohsiung couple where they could buy pajamas.
Su said apologetically that her three sons were already crazy and didn't want to go out shopping, and she had to follow the three crazy boys and watch them not make a big fuss about the heavenly palace and set the house on fire.
Kaohsiung volunteered to buy pajamas and drove 8.6 kilometers to a nearby town, and he had the honor of driving ANN and me to the town to pick them up.
Because the south of the Yangtze River is rich in silk, and the town is set up for tourists, there are many shops selling silk on the street, and some high-end shops have silk products, which are quite exquisite, and the embroidery is extraordinary, of course, the price is quite expensive.
On that day, Kaohsiung, who was in a good mood because he had escaped the jumping up and down of three boys, made the old mistake of spending a lot of money and making a big move, and he generously bought a finely embroidered silk pajamas for each of us women, including ANN.
As we drove home, we saw black footprints on the floor of the room, and Sue was yelling at the three boys who were dirty like mud monkeys in the bathroom to clean themselves, go to the dining room for dinner, and wait at the window for the fireworks show.
Kaohsiung answered a phone call as colorful fireworks rose in the sky outside the window, amid the amazed cheers of the children. He got up and walked out of the window to the quieter living room.
When the majestic fireworks show came to an end for the time being, I found that Kaohsiung had been gone for a while.
I excused myself to go back to my room to get a shirt for ANN, and when I came to the door of the living room, I found that Kaohsiung's phone call had already been made. He was sitting alone on the couch, smoking a cigar.
It was the first time I saw Kaohsiung smoking a cigar. Didn't he never smoke?
Looking at the green smoke curling around the cigar head and the red sparks that were extinguishing brightly and extinguished, I felt that something was wrong.
Did something happen?
I looked at the silhouette of the side of Kaohsiung's face and wondered in my heart.
But I didn't go in and alarm him. I looked at him silently for a moment, then quietly left and went back to my room to get my shirt.
At the start of the second half of the fireworks show, I returned to the dining room with ANN's top. Sit down next to Sue and put clothes on her with ANN on her cheeks flushed with excitement. Su turned his head sideways and asked, "What about that person?" Half of the party has passed. ”
I said, "He's still on the phone in the living room, which seems like an important thing." ”
Su said dissatisfiedly: "One day he will understand that nothing in business will be more important than accompanying the children through these happy moments." ”
I said, "Men understand it very late. Sometimes, for the rest of their lives, they don't understand. ”
Su shrugged her shoulders and whispered, "Poor." Hopefully this won't be the case with my sons.

Through the fog by the lake, stepping on the dew, I returned to the door of the villa.
It was already past 12 o'clock in the evening, and I had just come back from a long walk along the boardwalk. I went out for a walk after bathing ANN, telling stories, changing into pajamas, reciting the elf mantra that doesn't have nightmares, and coaxing her to sleep.
I was so nostalgic for the feeling of strolling on the boardwalk, I was deeply immersed in that strong sense of familiarity, and before I knew it, I walked for 2 hours.
When I stepped onto the porch, I noticed a vague figure on the lounge chair on the porch.
Seeing that I pulled out the key to open the door, the figure showed two rows of shiny white teeth and smiled in my direction.
I heard Kaohsiung's voice say, "Oh, our goddess of night travel, finally back." ”
I was surprised and said, "Why haven't you slept yet?" What is a person doing sitting here silently? I was shocked to see it coldly. ”
Kaohsiung said: "Didn't you sleep too, sneaking out quietly and walking around the lake?" ”
He looked at my pajamas and said, "Wearing such snow-white pajamas, floating around in the dark night." ”
I reached out and turned on the light on the porch.
Kaohsiung's eyes immediately fell on my chest.
That's when I realized that my image was quite indecent. The neckline of this pajama was very low, and when I was just walking by the lake, because I felt a little cold, I took a small side clip off my hair and clamped it to my chest, and gathered the lace of the pajamas together to keep out the cold.
I took a step back and reached for the clip on my chest.
Kaohsiung let out a smack, shook his head and said, "It's really a tyrannical thing." Such a classy pajamas, for you to dress like this. ”
I said angrily, "It's a natural thing." ”
A bandit-like smile immediately bloomed on Kaohsiung's face. He said, "Oh, the argument is incisive, I couldn't agree more." ”
My face turned red all at once. Fortunately, it was dark and the lights on the porch were not on, so maybe Kaohsiung didn't see it.
Kaohsiung got up and walked over, reached out to take my key, helped me open the door, and made a gesture of please.
I was a little suspicious for a moment, could he have seen me go out and waited here for me to come back?
Then I remembered the phone call he had received and the red dot on the cigar head.
Nothing happened, did it?
This doubtful thought flashed through my mind.
I couldn't help but ask, "You didn't get into any trouble, did you?" ”
Kaohsiung grinned and said, "Of course there is trouble. If you don't come back, I'll call the property's security guard and search for you along the lake with my hounds. ”
