Chapter 7 Mischief
Guizhi had been back to her parents' house for almost a day, but it was already dark and she still hadn't returned. Xinlan and Lu Dong were waiting with their own thoughts. They seemed to be careless but deliberately listening to the movements of the Haihai family next door, paying attention to whether Guizhi came back.
Fusheng came back, but Xinlan didn't hear the sound of Haishui who often came back with Fusheng. While eating, she asked Fusheng: "Haihui always came back with you in the past. It's so late today, why didn't you hear him coming back?"
Fu Sheng said: "Hai Hai took a detour to his mother-in-law's house in Liuzhuang to pick up Guizhi. I may be late when I come back."
"Oh." Xin Lan responded, thinking that this was what happened. She would not have been so excited if she had known this was the case.
Time passed minute by minute, and the night was already deep. Lu Dong was lying on the recliner in the courtyard, his ears propped up and listening attentively to what was going on outside. He was hoping that Guizhi would come back soon to give him an accurate message, and his heart became more and more intense.
Anxious, I became more and more angry, and gradually I felt a little hot, and I couldn't sit still. Then I got up and walked outside the courtyard, pacing back and forth on the front door, dangling, and finally walked to the cement platform downstairs of Haihai's house.
At that time, I felt a little tired, so I sat down on the concrete platform, took out a cigarette, and took two puffs while smoking the cigarette while waiting for the sea water.
When Hai Hai came to pick up Guizhi, her mother-in-law had already cooked. Hai Hai was embarrassed to pick up Guizhi and leave, so he sat down to eat and chat. He asked Guizhi how things were going. When he learned that everything went well for Guizhi, he was also happy for Lu Dong.
By the time the two of them came out after dinner, the moon had risen and the night was getting darker. The two of them were riding bicycles, taking advantage of the moonlight, talking and walking home. When it came to what if Guizhi was bullied by the sea, Lu Dong
When he had to help Gui Zhi vent his anger, Hai Hai couldn't help laughing and said: "Haha, this guy, you want me to deal with him."
They took the night road and soon entered the village. As they approached their home, the sea water was illuminated by the moonlight. They could vaguely see a person sitting on the cement platform in front of their home. They stopped Guizhi and whispered: "You
Look, there's someone sitting on the stage in front of our door. Don't rush forward to see who it is! He seems to be smoking."
Guizhi probed his neck forward. Taking advantage of the light of the cigarette, he felt that it looked like Lu Dong. He also whispered to Hai Hai: "I think it looks like Lu Dong. Could it be that he is waiting for us to hear the news?"
where."
"It's possible." Hai Hai answered and then whispered to Guizhi: "Let's go through the back door and enter the village quietly. Don't let the shooter go. Let him wait until dawn."
Guizhi said: "You think he is a fool and will wait until dawn."
Hai Hai said: "Don't say anything and come with me."
The two quietly entered the yard from the back door and carefully moved the car into the house, just like flying thieves. They didn't make a sound or turn on the lights. When they were about to take off their clothes and go to bed, the sea water suddenly seemed to remember something.
The person sneaked out of the house again and carefully climbed onto the roof of the bungalow. The side house where Hai Hai lived was built together with the gatehouse. It was a prefabricated bungalow made of cinder cement and lime. You could go directly to the gatehouse by going up the ladder. Hai Hai climbed up to the roof along the ladder.
He picked up a large basin of warm water that had been sitting on the roof of the bungalow all day and used it for bathing. He slowly walked to the gatehouse and poured it on Lu Dongduo's head below through the flower wall.
Lu Dong sat on the concrete platform, concentrating on his thoughts. He didn't know that the two people had come back. He saw the empty cigarette box and smoked the last cigarette. He thought about the sea water and the two people would not come back if they didn't come back.
Okay, after working hard for a day, I felt sleepy. I really couldn’t wait any longer. I might as well go home and talk tomorrow. Just when Lu Dong put out his cigarette and was about to get up, a large basin of water came down... What’s going on?
, Lu Dong's mind went blank. He slowly wiped the water off his face with his hands from top to bottom, took a long breath, closed his eyes and couldn't help shouting: "Who did this!!!"
No one responded.
"Hai Hai, is it you!? Don't think that I don't know it's you even if you don't say anything." Lu Dong lowered his voice and asked slowly, but after listening carefully, there was still no reply.
Lu Dong felt a chill in his heart. He intuitively concluded that it was sea water, but when he calmed down and thought about it, he didn't see him coming back. He thought it was the father of sea water, but he also felt that the old man was so old that he would not open this door with him.
What a joke. He really wanted to get angry, but he couldn't make any noise in the middle of the night, not to mention where did the sea water go to run errands for him? Oh, forget it, let's talk about it tomorrow! Lu Dong thought like this, this
After a moment of hesitation, he gave up the idea of pursuing the case and turned back to his yard. He took off his soaked clothes, shook them off, hung them on the wire for drying clothes in the yard, put on his trousers that were not wet, and used
I quickly wiped the water off my head with a dry towel and returned to my room. I stretched out the quilt and got in quickly. After this fuss, my nervous mood calmed down and I no longer kept thinking about Guizhi going there today.
situation, but he remembered what happened just now, and Lu Dong himself became puzzled. In his opinion, only sea water can do this, but he clearly did not see or hear the two of them, when did they do it?
What about those who went in?
At dawn, Xinlan woke up from her sleep, listening to the rhythmic snoring of Fu Sheng beside her, tossing and turning, feeling sleepy. She lay on the bed, thinking to herself, she didn't know that Guizhi returned to her parents' home yesterday
What was going on? Did it go as he wished? I don't know if Lu Dong waited for the two of them to come back.
When Hai Hai got up in the morning, Gui Zhi had already cooked the meal. Hai Hai cooked it by pinching it, and Guizhi cooked it by pinching it. Because he couldn't be late for work, Hai Hai finished washing and ate before his parents sat down at the table.
As for the matter of splashing Lu Dong with water last night, he didn't take it to heart, and he didn't tell Guizhi. In his opinion, it was the right time to do the right thing, and it was the opportunity given by God.
This is done in a timely, reasonable, reasonable and legal manner.
After dinner, Hai Hai pushed the cart outside. Guizhi was anxious to tell Xinlan and his wife the good news, so they walked out of the door with Hai Hai one after another. As soon as they passed the door, before Guizhi could tell him, Hai Hai moved his feet and said, "
With a bang, he sat down in a puddle of mud on the ground. Before Guizhi could reach out to help, the bicycle hit Hai Hai again. Hai Hai grinned in pain and said, "No way, what a coincidence. What a coincidence."
If there is a ghost, it is all water, so it is unkind."
After Guizhi heard this, she couldn't help but laugh and said: "The thing that slid you was mud, not water. You think you are the sea water, so I got close to you and stopped sliding you. What logic! Get up quickly. How did you fall?
Are you okay?" Guizhi said, and helped up the bicycle that was resting on Hai Hai. Hai Hai supported the ground with his hands, stuck out his buttocks, and stood up slowly. He was afraid of falling again, so he carefully moved to a clean place aside.
Looking at his expression, Guizhi said with concern: "Where did you fall? Why don't you ask for leave so you don't have to go to work?"
Hai Hai walked a few steps with his legs and tried: "It's okay, it'll be fine in a while. It's a small matter, just go back and change into work clothes."
While Guizhi was working on the car, Hai Hai limped back to the yard. He took off the clothes he was wearing that were stained with mud and water, put them on the rope for drying clothes in the yard, and went back to the house to find a pair of work clothes to wear.
Then he stepped on his feet and turned around to walk out of the yard, pushed the car up, took two steps, got on the car and left.
Seeing that Hai Hai was fine and had ridden far away, Guizhi turned around and walked towards Xinlan's house. Entering the yard, Xinlan was filling up the water next to the tank, preparing to soak Lu Dong's wet clothes that were hung on the wire last night. She saw
Guizhi came in, and Xinlan hurriedly came over and took Guizhi to the kitchen, whispering: "When did you come back last night? How did everything go?"
Guizhi said with a smile: "Look, Auntie, you are so anxious. Everything is going well. We have agreed. Let the two of them meet privately at my house tomorrow afternoon. If they like each other, it should be fine.
Next, let’s look at Lu Dong’s two brushes.”
"Okay! Okay! Okay! Thank you, Guizhi, you have helped me a lot. You don't know that I couldn't wait for you to come back last night. I was thinking about this all night, praying that everything goes well for you.
It really makes me happy to think that you are so capable and can get things done as soon as you leave." Xinlan said with joy.
"Aunt, what makes you happy is in the back." Guizhi said as he took out the photo he put in his pocket yesterday and continued: "Aunt, look at her photo, what does she look like?"
Xinlan took the photo, looked at it again and again, and said to Guizhi happily: "The girl is indeed good-looking. Thanks to you, if it weren't for you, I don't know when your aunt and I would be cured of my heart disease. Tell me, daughter-in-law, I want to
Have something to eat, please now!"
"It depends on what you said, Auntie, am I here for the food? I am here for our relationship! Let's wait until the decision is made!" Guizhi said.
The two of them were talking energetically in a low voice when they heard the door of the main room creak. They turned their heads and saw that Lu Dong was wearing a fashionable new pink Huanggang shirt on his upper body and a pair of grass green military trousers on his lower body.
Rubbing her eyes, she walked out of the house. Xinlan took a look and said to Guizhi: "Usually Lu Dong gets up earlier than his father. Today his father has been at work for a long time. He didn't get up until now, and he's still fully clothed."
Xin, it feels weird, and I don’t know why! Could it be that I already know that you have successfully introduced someone to him? Let me ask him."
Guizhi didn't wait for Xinlan to ask Lu Dong, and said to Xinlan: "He won't know. We came back too late yesterday and didn't tell Lu Dong."
When Xinlan heard what Guizhi said, she looked puzzled and said to Guizhi: "That's strange. Is there something wrong with him? The clothes he wore when he went out last night were still clean. This morning
But I saw something wet hanging on the rope. I don't know why it got so wet. I have to ask him!" After that, he and Guizhi left the kitchen.
Lu Dong didn't know that Guizhi and his mother were talking in the kitchen, and he was still thinking about going to Guizhi's house to ask her about yesterday's situation after washing his face. He had just finished fetching water, but he saw Guizhi and his mother walking out of the kitchen one after another.
He was stunned and wanted to ask Guizhi, but because his mother was nearby, he didn't know how to speak. He saw his mother saying to him: "Lu Dong, what's going on? Why are your clothes so wet?"
Lu Dong was startled and said: "What can you say! Why did it get wet? I'm still confused now. I couldn't sleep last night and walked outside the door. When I was tired, I sat down on the cement platform in front of Guizhi's house to rest.
After a while, I saw that the night was getting late, and I was about to get up and go back to sleep. I didn’t know who it was, but Duotou poured water all over me. I thought no one else would do this, only Hai Hai loves to mess with me, but Hai Hai went to pick up Guizhi yesterday.
I haven't seen them come back. Could it be that Guizhi and her parents-in-law think of me as a bad person and they can't drive me away with water? I don't think so! Do you think I'm confused or not?"
When Guizhi heard this, before Xinlan could answer, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Hai Hai, you two brothers are really good at it, and you are really talented when it comes to making trouble. Originally, I didn't know who poured water on you, but after hearing this
He said, I guess it was the sea water that splashed on you. Last night when we came back and saw you sitting there, the sea water let you go through the back door, because you said in the morning that you would help me when he bullies me in the future, so he wanted to smelt you and let you
Wait a little longer, but I didn't see him splashing on you. He just went out for a while before going to bed and came back. From what you said, I think it was the sea water that did it."
After hearing this, Lu Dong was immediately amused and angry. He made a fierce look and said: "Good guy, this is a show of force! Why did I forget that your house has a back door? It's really... But, Guizhi, I will help you in the future.
I won't be merciful in dealing with him. I respect you as I should. But I can't respect him. I respect him to the heavens. He is still a monkey!"
After hearing Lu Dong's words, Guizhi smiled and continued: "He did it to you, but he didn't gain any advantage."
Lu Dongdao: "For him, this is the biggest advantage he can get from me. Isn't it considered a bargain?!"
Guizhi said: "You will know after you listen to me."
Then, Guizhi vividly told about the wrestling in the sea water that morning. After hearing this, Xinlan and Lu Dong couldn't help laughing. After laughing for a while, Lu Dong said: "Return to sea water, sea water is water."
, there is no water to the east of the land? This is called not to report, the time has not come. When the time comes, report immediately. This time I really believe that God is fair!"
Seeing Lu Dong's cheerful expression when he spoke, Xinlan took over and said, "Hai Shui is your brother, no matter how big or small you are, you two brothers are going to fight, but don't get into trouble."
When Lu Dong heard Xinlan say this, he changed his tone and said to Xinlan slowly: "Mom! Look at what you said, you thought we were children. You are the only one who will take this seriously! Let me tell you.
, when the two of us stop arguing, there must be a problem."
Guizhi was listening to Xinlan's words. She knew that she was worried that Lu Dong and Haihai would go too far and affect the relationship between the two families. She hurriedly continued: "Aunt, don't worry. Lu Dong is right. He is right."
The two of them are like Jiao Zhan Meng Liang in an ancient drama. The more they fight, the closer they get. This is called not knowing each other without fighting. The more they fight, the deeper their relationship becomes."
The three of them were talking, but Lu Dong was thinking about asking Guizhi from time to time. Seeing that his mother was chatting happily with Guizhi, he couldn't ask Guizhi, so he excused himself and left. Xinlan knew that Lu Dong was also eager to know.
After asking Guizhi to do something, he deliberately said to Lu Dong: "Lu Dong, your sister-in-law wants to talk to you about something. Please finish washing quickly. The rice is in the pot. When you're done, put it there. I'll wash it when I get back."
, I'm going to the Xitou vegetable field." After saying that, he said something to the cinnamon branches, took a shovel, put it in a basket and left.
Seeing his mother walking out of the door, Lu Dong hurriedly washed his face, picked up a chair and asked Guizhi to sit down. Before Guizhi could sit firmly, he anxiously asked Guizhi, "What happened yesterday?"
Guizhi looked at Lu Dong's anxious look and said, "Look at how anxious you are. How can you fall in love like this? I definitely don't like you. You have to be calm and steady. Only in this way can people seem to feel safe."
, will succeed.”
Lu Dong calmed down his emotions and said calmly: "You are right, I will pay attention to it."
Seeing that Lu Dong had stabilized, Guizhi told Lu Dong everything about yesterday's visit in detail, and finally said: "Lu Dong, I've tied the red line for you. Whether it succeeds or not depends on your ability, Liu Qin."
The conditions are high, you must be mentally prepared. Tomorrow at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, you two will meet at my house first. If you like each other, we will continue. I won't say much else. You haven't eaten yet, and I have something to do at home.
, I'll leave first." After Guizhi said that, he stood up and was about to go out. Lu Dong also stood up quickly. While sending Guizhi off, he made a respectful gesture and said: "Thank you, sister-in-law, I will try my best.
, please walk slowly."
After finishing the meal, Lu Dong, perhaps because he was happy, washed the pots and dishes and wiped the stove clean. These tasks that originally seemed extremely light in his mother's hands, Lu Dong did not expect to be so strenuous and difficult to do.
Chapter completed!
