Outside the curtain, the rain pattered softly, like silk threads, each drop penetrating deeply, gentle and soft, yet like tender steel needles, piercing the heart. Huo Zihao's heart was pierced and penetrated by this pain...
He watched Liu Bingbing walk outside, and his heart suddenly ached. Good, so good! This... this countryside actually has such a pure woman?
Huo Zihao's eyes were practically glowing blue. Back when he was at the county medical college, he thought Ji Xiaotao was pretty, but he had only touched her hand once, just because of Ji Xiaotao's brother, Ji the Madman.
If that madman knew he dared to touch his sister, he would kill him. Oh well, life is more important than a beautiful woman. Then he took a fancy to the sexy Xiao Fei, feeling that Xiao Fei danced so well, and since he hadn't made it in Shencheng, he wanted to come back and be with Xiao Fei.
He was seen through and rejected. He thought to himself that Xiao Fei was right. To this day, Huo Zihao was still a failure. However... he happened to be squatting at Xiao Fei's door and saw Zhu Mengmeng, who used to work with Xiao Fei at the same place. Zhu Mengmeng was Zhu Na's mother.
She has a child of her own, says her husband is dead, and works in a brothel in Hancheng, but most of the time she works independently, which means she finds clients and makes money on her own. This woman doesn't need makeup; with just a little tidying up, she looks like a woman in her mid-twenties, not someone with a sixteen-year-old daughter.
Huo Zihao also swallowed hard at Zhu Na's mother, Zhu Mengmeng. However, Zhu Mengmeng was ruthless in her pragmatism. She didn't care whether you were handsome or not. As long as you paid, it was 100 yuan for a ride, 200 yuan for an hour, and 300 yuan for the whole night. However, you had to have time to book the whole night.
This is fucking too expensive. Huo Zihao is someone who doesn't know where his next meal is coming from. He has to call home every month to ask for living expenses. He gets 500 yuan a month for living expenses, which is almost all he needs for food and lodging. As for women, he can only fantasize about taking care of them with his hands.
Sometimes his father would call and ask him to come home for blind dates. He would first ask the girl what her education level was. When she said it was elementary school or junior high school, Huo Zihao would sneer: "Dad, are you confused? Your son is a college student, your son will achieve great things in the future, would you want that country girl! And an elementary school student? That's practically illiterate. We'll have no common language at all."
His father suggested he go back and find another job, but Huo Zihao just sneered. The implication was that he didn't care for that kind of work at all. He was a man destined for great things; how could he be stuck in a small factory as a lowly technician? He was joking…
Now, Huo Zihao saw Liu Bingbing and thought to himself how wonderful it would be if he were from Xiaoyangshu Village. A woman like her would be hard to find even with a lantern; she would be considered one in a million. After seeing her, he forgot all about Ji Xiaotao, Xiao Fei, Zhu Mengmeng, and even Zhu Na, who had first impressed him.
He was fantasizing that if Liu Bingbing, with her tall stature, wore stockings and high heels—the stockings had to be black, and the high heels had to be black and ten centimeters high—and she was wearing lace panties, he would insert his penis into her from behind and... oh my, that would be heavenly! Even being a god couldn't be better than that...
Huo Zihao was enjoying his fantasy, watching Chen Chu buzzing around Liu Bingbing like a fly. He really wanted to go over and stomp on Chen Chu, crushing him under his foot and grinding him into the mud so he couldn't be dug out.
...
Liu Bingbing walked ahead angrily, while Chen Chu followed quietly, still muttering, "Vice Village Chief Liu, don't be angry anymore. I won't mention it again, I won't mention it again, okay? Oh, and take your birth control pills, just so you don't actually get pregnant..."
"You…" Liu Bingbing was almost furious, her long, slender fingers pointing at Chen Chu.
Chen Chu couldn't take it anymore; he was so uncomfortable. He thought tonight... why not go find Liu Haiyan and treat that slut like Liu Bingbing and give her a good rough time? Otherwise, he really couldn't take it anymore.
Liu Bingbing seems to be thoroughly annoyed with herself, and she definitely won't let herself be rough. Damn it, what kind of world is this? Women won't let men be rough, it's so unreasonable... Actually, if the world really became like Chen Chu's imagination, where women let men do whatever they want, then we'd be back to primitive apes, covered in hair, and probably wouldn't have that kind of interest anymore...
"Hmph..." Liu Bingbing's brows slowly relaxed as she saw Chen Chu bowing and apologizing. She snorted coldly, but when she turned around, she smiled, feeling that Chen Chu was easy to bully.
Every time she bullied him, he would apologize, which stimulated and satisfied Liu Bingbing's petty mentality.
At this moment, Chen Chu asked, "By the way, Deputy Village Chief Liu, whose house are we going to this time?"
"Go to your house!" Liu Bingbing said coldly.
"Ahem... Deputy Village Chief Liu, so fast..."
Liu Bingbing frowned again: "What do you mean fast? How fast? Chen Chu, can you stop thinking such nonsense?"
"Huh? I wasn't thinking anything. I just meant that it's my turn so soon? I didn't mean that you going to my house is... Okay, don't be angry, I won't say anything more."
The two walked one after the other. Chen Dejiang didn't go to collect recyclables today either; it was raining, so he was taking a rainy day off.
In the countryside, people take a break when it rains, even during the hottest days of summer. In winter, they hibernate, keeping their wives and children warm on the kang (heated brick bed) and busy making babies...
Chen Chu's yard was on high ground, so there was no rainwater accumulation. Along the way, Liu Bingbing's black boots were covered in mud, and she took out a tissue to wipe them clean. Chen Chu, on the other hand, was still wearing shoes wrapped in plastic bags, and he just followed along with a grin, acting like a complete idiot.
As soon as the two entered the yard, they saw their neighbor Liu Cui scooping out firewood. The firewood stacks in the countryside are quite tall. Sometimes, the firewood from the previous year can't be completely burned and can still be burned the following year. But if it gets wet, you can only scoop out the firewood from the inside to burn.
Yesterday's downpour was too sudden and intense. If Chen Chu hadn't checked the weather, there wouldn't have been any dry firewood to burn the next day. Liu Cui had already escaped from hundreds of bundles of corn stalks and finally found some dry firewood. She was just about to carry more into the house when she saw Chen Chu and Liu Bingbing walk into the yard.
The two families are neighbors and usually greet each other when they meet. However, since Liu Cui had a relationship with Chen Chu and Sun Wu has been quieter recently, she tries to avoid Chen Chu as much as possible.
She felt that she was a woman with a family, and she couldn't let Chen Chu down or ruin her own family, especially since she still had children.
Liu Cui blushed, turned around, and carried two bundles of corn stalks into the house. She was wearing a worn-out military uniform that had been taken off from the army, and light green, worn-out military trousers. People in the countryside liked this kind of worn-out military uniform because it was not only sturdy, but also had a wide crotch, making it easy to work.
They would ask for old military uniforms brought back by demobilized soldiers from their relatives' homes or villages; often, a piece of clothing or pants could be worn for several years.
Although Liu Cui wasn't dressed up properly, her hair was just casually combed back, and she was wearing yellow rubber shoes, revealing her bare feet.
However, this simple attire was still quite stunning. Sometimes, beautiful women don't need to dress up deliberately. Liu Cui's height of 1.65 meters, her protruding breasts, and her plump, fertile buttocks sticking out from her old military trousers as she turned around.
It gives you a possessive urge to rush up and grab her slender waist, undo her belt, pull off her underwear along with her old military pants, and then pin her against the wall and give her a good rough time.
That's exactly what Chen Chu was thinking right now, and his lower body was already quite aroused. He couldn't help but secretly admire, "Liu Cui, you're really trying to suffocate me... Why are you ignoring me now..."
Liu Bingbing watched Liu Cui enter the house, then turned to look at Chen Chu and said, "This...this is Sun Wu's wife?"
"Hmm..." Chen Chu nodded.
Liu Bingbing shook her head, then suddenly said with regret, "It's like a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung!"
As soon as Liu Bingbing finished speaking, she strode forward in her black leather boots. At that moment, the wipers turned up, and she opened her small floral umbrella with her fair fingers.
Chen Chu couldn't help but feel that Liu Bingbing's mention of "cow dung" was a veiled reference, as if she were the beautiful flower and he was the pile of cow dung. Thinking about it carefully, it made sense. Hadn't he taken advantage of her? And she was a virgin at that. Wasn't that like a beautiful flower stuck in his pile of cow dung...?
Chen Chu chuckled from behind and said, "Vice Village Chief Liu, it's good to put fresh flowers in cow dung! Cow dung is so powerful! It's even more powerful than fertilizer. You know, if fresh flowers are put in a vase, they definitely won't last more than a few days. But if they're put in cow dung, that old cow dung is so powerful, it can make the fresh flowers die of pleasure, it can make them succumb to its sap..."
Liu Bingbing paused for a moment, then quickly turned around and said, "Let's go back, we won't look at this one, let's go to the next one..."
"Hey, something else, something else! Deputy Village Chief Liu, I was just joking! I'm not human, I had a bad mouth, I'm not human, don't go, I'm a bastard... I, I, I'm a mountain donkey..."
"Pfft!" Liu Bingbing couldn't help but laugh out loud. She quickly covered her mouth, glared at Chen Chu, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, don't talk about yourself like that..." She couldn't help but laugh again after she finished speaking.
Chen Chu chuckled sheepishly, "Vice Village Chief Liu, alright, I won't say anything more. Let's go inside and take a look. Look, we're already at the doorstep..."
Liu Bingbing thought to herself, "This bastard is just like this. Look at Chen Chu's family. Everyone says they're poor, but look how poor they really are."
The two went into the house, and Chen Chu's father, Chen Dejiang, came out. Chen Dejiang was 1.75 meters tall, but here, 1.75 meters is considered average height. 1.8 meters is considered tall for a man, but there are quite a few men who are 1.8 meters tall.
However, women like Liu Bingbing, who are 1.78 meters tall, are rare. Chen Dejiang chuckled and said, "Vice Village Chief Liu, my family is quite poor and run-down. Look, you don't even have a place to stay..."
Liu Bingbing also said a few polite words. It was impossible that there was no place to stay, but there was no place to sit. There was no woman in the house, and it was not tidy. It was dark enough outside, but it was even darker inside.
The walls were dark and gloomy. In Chen Dejiang's east room, there was a 14-inch Toshiba black and white television, an old relic, with a dense array of antennas behind it that looked like a spider web.
Chen Dejiang said that the TV and the antenna were both collected from scrap metal. The walls were gray and the ground was dirt, which was also gray and gray. Looking up at the ceiling... there was no ceiling. You could only see the rafters and straw mats on the ceiling, which was also dark. If someone with poor eyesight came in, they could trip and fall, and even knock out their front teeth.
Liu Bingbing thought to herself that this place was comparable to the Zhazidong prison where the Kuomintang imprisoned the Eighth Route Army...
Liu Bingbing sighed, then went to the outer room, which was the cooking area; it was a mess anyway. She then went to Chen Chu's room; the gray walls were in terrible condition, and the kang (heated brick bed) was also a mess, with blankets scattered everywhere…
Liu Bingbing felt a wave of dizziness. She thought to herself, "My God! Chen Chu is supposed to be responsible for me! If I really marry him, I'll be in big trouble. This...this place...never mind, I can't use any more profanity."
However, Liu Bingbing couldn't help but say to Chen Chu, "You... Chen Chu, can't you ever take a break to tidy up? Look at this messy room, it's like a pigsty..."
"Ah? Deputy Village Chief Liu is right, he's right. I'll definitely change and fix things in the future..."
"Hmm..." Liu Bingbing nodded and said, "Also, you should tidy up the garden properly when you have nothing to do. Look, it's all overgrown with weeds. You should also fix the wall properly; it's almost collapsing. How can you be so lazy at your age? Is that reasonable?"
If it were anyone else, Chen Chu would have already said, "It's none of your business."
However, a fragrant aroma wafted over from Liu Bingbing, and Chen Chu was overjoyed: "Yes, I will definitely work hard and do a good job. Deputy Village Chief Liu is right to teach me a lesson..."
Standing to the side, Chen Dejiang stared blankly, thinking to himself that his son, who had always been the most important person in the world and second only to him, had become so obedient, behaving like a little lapdog in front of Liu Bingbing...
Chen Dejiang was somewhat bewildered. Was this still his own son, the donkey?
