Chapter 111 Cat, help me scratch my back
That Miantang knows what I want, this town is really a food paradise, recalling the hard days of starvation in the orphanage, as well as the overstretched embarrassment when I first arrived in Shanghai, I faced the rich food in front of me, I feel that I can't eat enough, bursting belly shabu, anchovy shark fin, colorful beef tenderloin, golden silk sorrel, kung pao hare, Dongguan popping pigeon, Luohan prawns, Baihua monkey tongue venison skewers, hanging stove roast plate duck and Hunan oil stewed dragon and phoenix balls, let me dazzle, my appetite is strong, Because when I remembered that the days in the orphanage were always the same poisonous porridge, my appetite increased greatly, and I longed to eat all the famous dishes of the town mayor.
I looked down and smiled, this scene did not let Na Miantang miss it, he asked, "Why are you smiling like that?" β
I told the truth: "It's a great joy in life to be able to spend money as much as you want, to eat whatever you want, and not to worry about it." How nice it would be to be in the company of such a happy and generous person as youβit wouldn't be a lot of wages, would it? β
"No, it won't." I sometimes really have the illusion that everything I do is funny to him, as if in his eyes, I'm just a naughty kitten.
He happily took my hand and walked to the goods: "Let's buy some gifts for Pony Six and them, one of the conditions, your clothes from color to fabric to style, must be checked by me, that is, it is my woman, it must be to my taste." β
I looked at him with a black line and raised an eyebrow: "Is this in the contract?" Does it count as salary? β
"No, no, don't you fall into the money pit, even if you love money so much, why don't you just promise yourself, my money is your money." He was taunting me again.
However, he did buy me all those clothes that he chose by himself, and he loved to choose for me the fashionable foreign clothes, the new skirts worn by foreign devils, with wreaths, bows and wavy strips of lace on the skirts; It is equipped with a pagoda-shaped light blue silk flower sun umbrella with dark blue tassels on the edge of the umbrella.
There is also a new Chinese Qi robe, a tight-fitting style that tightly expresses the contours of my waist; Order clothes in the Yige Fang, all kinds of materials, the materials are all the latest styles in the market, net silk, cloud brocade, Lingluo, brocade, tribute silk, incense yarn, and then handmade into exquisite underwear, and even pajamas, petticoats, silk socks have to be purchased in full. I also bought me a couple of five-centimeter-high heels with elaborate crystals.
I asked him, "Do I need to be so exaggerated?" I'm not everyone's best girl, why don't you give me a few top-grade gold daggers in the blacksmith and give them to me. β
"That's how my women are."
"Waitβwe're contracted."
Even if he's so generous, I don't care about spending money on things for the ponies. I bought a new bicycle for Ma Liu, a large packaged meatloaf for Pig Head San, a record player for Niu Ba, a set of kung fu shirts for Ah Wu Donkey, a slingshot for Oil Four Chickens, and a little Persian cat head for Er Gouzi, maybe useful for his intellectual development, and I almost prepared a gift for my bastards.
"But what to buy for Song Da and Bai Wei?" I looked at the things that had been spread out on the side, and Na Miantang said that the gifts could be sent to Shanghai by mail, and he moved the kitten aside.
"That's it, I'm in charge of Song Guo, and you're in charge of Bai Wei." I decided, and Na Miantang put his arm around me, pretending to threaten me with a choke-choking operation, and said, "We're responsible together." β
I teased him: "Why do you get angry when you hear the truth?" You must make a serious choice for Bai Wei, and I must also choose carefully for Song Da, if you don't choose well, Song Da will be sad - a man as good as him shouldn't let him be sad. In the same way, Bai Wei, you also have to choose carefully, don't disappoint others, it's best to choose Anna together. β
Na Miantang was not angry and laughed: "I am such a fierce mother-in-law, I don't dare to borrow my tiger guts." β
In the end, he and I jointly sent a record to Song Da and a set of Shakespeare's complete works to Bai Wei, and Na Miantang insisted on signing the words of both of us on both gifts with a blessing, but I refused.
While discussing this, he and I sat side by side on the icy stone slab, holding each other's hands and discussing how to send it.
After searching my memory, conscience, and introspection that there was no intentional attempt to harm Song Da and Bai Wei, I replied, "I don't sign." β
The Miantang was silent for a long time before he said to me with sincerity: "Bai Wei should find a better man than me, she should have a better fate, Bai Wei is a person who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and her courage and strength are sometimes enough to make a so-called hero ashamed of himself." I grew up with her, and I always thought of her as my sister. She was still young and could have had better men to love her well. β
It was the first time he talked to me about Bai Wei so thoroughly, my heart was like a deer, I didn't know how to answer him, I turned my head, and sighed quietly.
I eased the atmosphere and said, "I have to get to know my boss carefully, and this one will be carefully analyzed and observed." β
"Don't try too hard, you're going to exhaust me." Na Miantang chuckled and kissed my hand.
Actually, I don't know what our relationship is.
Suspicion is suspicion, this is full of sincerity, if I don't feel it, it is absolutely deceiving, I even hear the sound of my own heartbeat. It's just that I don't understand, he is the boss of Rensheng's gang, and his women will not be less, can it be said that he is used to eating big fish and meat, and wants to change the porridge and side dishes.
Yes, the more I think about it, the more unreliable it becomes.
The street coincides with the local secular festival. Enthusiastic people sang mountain songs on the street, and I sang joyfully with the people, beckoning to pass by on the street.
I asked Na Miantang, "Do you sing this kind of song?" β
Na Miantang smiled: "I won't tell you, I won't either, do you remember the songs of my brothers and sisters that I sang when I was in the orphanage?" β
I laughed out loud, and immediately covered my mouth with my hand, because the Shaanxi tune that roared at that time was all the song of naked men and women. He looked at me and smiled, because he finally understood the beautiful male and female sounds of the song.
I watched as the crowds on the bright streets became less and less, and the area outside the illuminated area in front of the restaurant seemed very quiet and dark. A light breeze blew my scarf, and the Miantang stopped to tidy it up for me, "It's beautiful." He whispered to me.
We both had a drink in the shop, and we were both in that fluttering state of excitement, feeling that everything was magnified.
The night is darker, the atmosphere is more peaceful, and the activities in this town are unforgettable. I felt a sense of tranquility, a sense of well-being. I yawned happily, and a hand naturally hooked his elbow. Without saying a word, we walked into the darkness towards the royal mother's cabin.
The sound of our footsteps could be heard on the stone road, and the sound echoed in the town very loudly. I've been afraid of the dark since I was a child, and I looked around a little nervously, and I turned sideways to look at the dark shadow of the building in the bushes, and I hooked the crook of my arm above the elbow even tighter, but I couldn't really tell anything.
It's so quiet, I think, as if the whole town is asleep, as if the whole town is the only one left. The shop windows and planks on the sidewalk were closed, and a puppy heard our footsteps, and barked in a hurry, and the Miantang shouted to him to shut up, and his voice was low, and the dog's legs whined a few times, and then it fell silent.
The tall figure of Miantang was also a part of the darkness, he was wearing a black trench coat, the wound on his leg was not completely healed, and he occasionally staggered when he walked, but it did not affect his male demeanor, his arms were strong and powerful, and he had strong arms that only a strong man had, and I leaned closer to his body. I could feel his body temperature, feel the thickness and strength of his body.
I, the contractor, have also had times of transgression, and I consoled myself that I was just borrowing because of my darkness.
That Miantang lowered his head and smiled: "The problem of being afraid of the dark in the past has not changed. β
"Well, don't tell me about cowards, I'm not your brother! I wouldn't be as scared of you as the Pony Six, what the hell do you think I'm going to give me three stabs and six holes for being a coward? But I had a great day. I smiled at the warm darkness, and then smiled with satisfaction, and the two of us laughed so much that it echoed, and it sounded a little strange.
As I walked past the light of a street lamp with Namiantang, he automatically adjusted his stride to accommodate my smaller stride, and I saw him smiling silently.
At this time, silence is better than sound, it is really good to be able to stroll leisurely and shoulder shoulders, share happiness together, stay away from the chaos of the rivers and lakes together, and return to calm.
What is like? What is love?
Is it a delusion? But at this moment, by his side, I can't say how it feels, but I know that if I can, I want to be able to stay with him a little longer.
The abandoned villa can no longer be inhabited, but fortunately, Wang Ma built a small building next to it. The room was very simple, there were only two rooms, one for Wang Ma, and the other room for me and Na Miantang had to share a room, I slept in the big bed, and he slept in the small bunk.
This bedroom is not as simple as Wang's mother. Four high bedposts with a thick mattress, two puffed pillows, and a brightly colored quilt on top of the new linen bed. Without glancing at the other furniture, I stepped on the bed and got under the covers, and I looked at him for a moment, and I saw a knowing smile twitching at the corners of his lips.
The light hit the body of the Miantang, outlining the silhouette of the clear and resolute, the tall Miantang stood in the middle of the room, the low wooden house in the countryside suddenly seemed a lot smaller, just the powerful aura on the body, I only felt that my heart suddenly seemed to forget to beat.
That Miantang slept in a small bunk very close, and it was always awkward for the two to get along alone in the same room. I don't know why I'm afraid to be in the same room with him, I don't know what's going to happen next, I already have a hunch.
Na Miantang said: "I don't feel sleepy at all, if you plan to sleep immediately, I will talk to you for a while." β
I quickly said, "I'm tired and I'm going to sleep, so you should go to bed early." β
He hadn't slept so early, sitting on the table in the cabin flipping through a book, and I guessed he wasn't reading at all, because his words began to be a little more unusual: "Would you like a cup of tea?" β
Before I could reply, he walked to the table on his own, poured me a cup of tea, and helped me up to drink it, and I had to wake up to drink the tea he brought. Although I was fighting, it was the first time that a single man was in the same room.
I was a little embarrassed to take his tea, I drank it carefully, and smelled the aroma of the tea, so that it seemed that I was really concentrating on drinking tea and tasting tea, I had to say something else, so as to dilute the tension: "Well, good tea, thank you." β
Suddenly feeling the bed attached, he lay on his side on the side of my bed, took a pillow and leaned on his back, and said seriously: "If you are sleepy, sleep first, my little bed is too small, if you don't mind, I will lie on your bed, I need to rest here and read for a while before sleeping." With that, he took out a tomato from his pocket and rubbed it between his fingers.
"I hope you don't mind smoking in our own room."
"Of course not."
"I hope you mind lying in your bed all night reading a novel, right?"
"Why?"
"Oh, because it's warm here."
"Mind." I simply refused.
The hall was reading, and I turned my back to him. I don't know if he can watch it, but I can't sleep. As a result, there were five points between the two of us, how quiet, nervous, and uneasy!
I heard him say to me, "Cat, it's warm enough, it's still cold here at night." β
I was not going to pay attention to him, but he had moved over to my side, tucked my quilt away, ran his fingers over my hair, and I looked at him, and he joked: "Don't worry, men feel more cramped and uneasy in this situation than women, and it will take a lot of struggle to get rid of the moral restraints and the burden of physical civility." If you are willing to slam my gun, conscience of heaven and earth, I don't mind if you pounce on me with a hungry tiger, and I am ready to die bravely. It would be inappropriate for me to refuse. β
I gave him a kick in the ass with my flying foot from the bunk.
The slender eyebrows were stretched, and a mocking smile flowed through his eyes, and he smiled softly, as if my embarrassment and ugliness pleased him.
After a while, Na Miantang began to look for something to do again, he had just laid down on the bed, and said to me, "Cat, help me scratch my back, I feel itchy." β
I decided to pretend to be asleep firmly, and this thing dared to stand beside my bed and look at me with a ghostly look: "My leg hurts again, itchy." β
