Chapter 505 Housewarming
According to custom, when moving into a new house, one needs to invite relatives and friends to warm up the house.
Su Mingzhe's original intention was to just invite a few members of the Su and Zheng families to come together.
After all, this is a special time, and we need to be low-key in everything we do.
Jiang Cuiping was somewhat unhappy.
In this day and age, apart from birth, aging, sickness and death, moving into a new house is considered a relatively big happy event. How could it be handled so hastily?
Therefore, Jiang Cuiping insisted that the two of them invite their friends to come over to warm up the house.
Zheng Juan thought about it and found that she didn't have many friends. She could only look at her husband with some embarrassment:
"Mingzhe, how about I go and notify Fangfang, Xu Kai, and Yu Hong to come over."
Wang Yafang, Yu Hong and Xu Kai, three girls, went to college in 70. The current university system is three years.
The three girls graduated last summer.
When assigning a job, Xu Kai had the help of his parents, and with his university studies, after graduation, he was assigned to the Municipal People's Hospital as an intern.
Wang Yafang had no family help, so like Yu Hong, she was assigned to teach in a primary school.
I don’t know what these three women were thinking. They have all left Baiyashan, but when they were in college, they would still write to Su Mingzhe every month, and Su Mingzhe would occasionally write back to them.
During summer and winter vacations, the three women even made an appointment to go back to Baiya Mountain together to see Su Mingzhe.
The degree of infatuation these three women had for Su Mingzhe made Zheng Juan nervous and uneasy at one point.
After all, as the saying goes, 'Men are afraid of being pestered, and women are afraid of being worn out.'
Zheng Juan was afraid that her man would lose his defenses under such soft and hard persuasion.
Fortunately, Su Mingzhe's willpower has always been very strong, and he was not seduced by the three women.
It was not until last year, when the three girls graduated from college and re-entered society, that their infatuation eased a little.
"What do you want them to do?"
When Su Mingzhe heard the names of these three women, he felt a headache:
"I'll just go and inform some old classmates."
"If I don't inform them this time, I'm afraid they will blame me when they find out later."
Zheng Juan's face was full of helplessness.
Being too popular as a man is also a great distress for women.
At this point, Zheng Juan can only choose the man and trust him to the end.
"That's fine."
Su Mingzhe thought about the three women and could only sigh.
Wang Yafang, Xu Kai and Yu Hong are all really infatuated.
By the evening, Su Mingzhe's new home, relatives and friends had gathered.
In addition to Su Mingzhe's family of three, there are four other family members: Zheng's mother, Zheng Guangming, Jiang Cuiping, and Su Mingxue; four beauties: Wang Yafang, Xu Kai, Yu Hong, and Zhou Rong; as well as Wang Quan, Wu Qian, and Su Mingzhe's three high school friends.
More than ten people gathered together to warm up Su Mingzhe's new home.
Su Mingzhe and Zheng Juan worked for the entire afternoon and set up two tables before letting everyone sit down.
Wang Quan and Wu Qian are still in college and haven't graduated yet. However, Wu Qian has a good relationship with Yu Hong. When she learned from Yu Hong that Su Mingzhe had moved into a new house, she dragged Wang Quan over uninvited to congratulate Su Mingzhe.
Zhou Rong was invited by Su Mingzhe.
It's also a coincidence.
When Su Mingzhe went to the Songhua River Soy Sauce Factory to look for his brother, he unexpectedly ran into Zhou Rong. He casually invited her and Zhou Rong agreed directly.
When everyone raised their glasses, Su Mingzhe glanced at the red string of lovesickness tied around his and Zhou Rong's hands.
Five years have passed, and the red line has already sunk deep into the flesh.
However, Zhou Rong was a proud person and would not allow herself to destroy other people's marriages, so even though she had fallen deeply in love with Su Mingzhe, she still only treated Su Mingzhe as a good friend.
A banquet, everyone laughed and chatted happily.
According to the general trend, people are now at peace.
There are fewer and fewer people who like to make noise.
Everyone wants to live a stable life.
Only a very small number of people are still struggling for their own interests.
At around nine o'clock in the evening, when everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, the banquet ended.
Several male guests drank a lot of wine.
Su Mingzhe's three high school friends withdrew first.
Then Wang Quan became drunk and wanted to leave.
Wang Yafang and Yu Hong lived in the elementary school teachers' dormitory, not far from Wang Quan and Wu Qian's homes, and were preparing to leave together.
Su Mingzhe sent them downstairs.
After seeing off two groups of guests, Su Mingzhe returned home and saw that Zheng's mother was old and had drunk some red wine, so he and Zheng Juan supported her and let her live in the second bedroom.
When Jiang Cuiping saw that her eldest son had arranged for his in-laws to stay, she was so angry that she hugged her grandson and took her youngest son downstairs.
Zheng Juan felt helpless when faced with her mother-in-law's temper tantrum, and could only go downstairs with her husband to see her off.
In the end, only Zhou Rong and Xu Kai were left in the room. Seeing that the two tables were covered with leftovers, they took the initiative to help clean up.
Zheng Juan and Su Mingzhe came back from sending Jiang Cuiping and Su Mingxue, and saw Zhou Rong and Xu Kai helping to clean up the table, so they quickly stopped them:
"Xu Kai, Zhou Rong, how did you get involved? Put your things down and I'll clean them up. Let Mingzhe take you back."
What Zheng Juan said makes sense.
Guests are here to stay, so there is no reason to ask them to help clean up the pots and pans.
"Sister Juan, let's go then."
Xu Kai was also a lady who had never done housework at home. The reason she reached out to help clean up was because she saw Zhou Rong starting to help.
"Sister-in-law, let's go."
Zhou Rong's home is in Guangzi District, which is quite far from Central Avenue. Looking at the completely dark night sky outside, she did not refuse Su Mingzhe's offer to take her there.
The three of them went downstairs. Su Mingzhe pushed the bicycle first, and he and Zhou Rong sent Xu Kai home.
Xu Kai lived in a small single-family house nearby, not far from Su Mingzhe's new home, just two streets away. The three of them walked for five or six minutes and arrived.
After Xu Kai returned home, Su Mingzhe rode his bicycle and took Zhou Rong home.
Zhou Rong was originally sitting sideways in the back seat, holding onto the seat with her slender fingers.
However, the chilly night wind made Zhou Rong involuntarily lean half of her body against the man.
Feeling the woman leaning on his back, her whole body soft and warm, Su Mingzhe's mind immediately started to run wild with thoughts.
After a while, the two of them rode their bikes to Guangzipian Hutong.
The environment in Guangzipian is slightly better than that in Taiping Hutong, but not much better.
The road in the alley is bumpy and there are puddles everywhere.
Su Mingzhe had only been riding for a while when he enjoyed the pleasure of dribbling the ball and bumping into people.
At this time, Su Mingzhe wished that this road had no end so that he could ride on it with Zhou Rong.
Unfortunately, the Zhou family soon arrived.
"Brother Su, I'm home."
Zhou Rong waited for Su Mingzhe to stop the car before she jumped out with a blushing face.
Although Zhou Rong is already 24 years old and is considered an older single woman, she sat on the back seat of Su Mingzhe's bicycle today and leaned her body against Su Mingzhe. This was the first time in her life that she had close contact with a man.
"Go home and rest early."
Su Mingzhe was so hot and horny that he hurried home to cool down. However, as soon as he turned around, he was stopped by Zhou Rong:
"Brother Su, I have something and I wonder if I can ask you for help."
"Whatever it is, just tell me."
Naturally, Su Mingzhe would not refuse Zhou Rong's request.
Zhou Rong no longer hesitated and directly stated her request:
"Just now, I heard from my sister-in-law that you cured her brother's congenital blindness. My mother's vision has become increasingly blurry recently. I wonder if you can help take a look."
"no problem."
Su Mingzhe remembered the plot of the film and television. It seemed that when Zhou's mother got old, she missed her children at home every day. Because she cried too much, her vision became blurred.
In a case like this, you can almost cure it by taking some medicine and having acupuncture.
The two of them agreed to come over to see the doctor tomorrow afternoon, and Su Mingzhe then said goodbye to Zhou Rong again and left.
When I got home, Zheng's mother was already asleep.
Su Mingzhe was a little surprised when he didn't see his brother-in-law: "Wife, where is Guangming?"
"He's back."
Zheng Juan looked helpless:
"Xiao Ming saw that our house was too small and he had no place to live, so he went back home on the pretext that he had some things at home and was afraid they would be stolen."
"This kid has grown up."
Su Mingzhe chuckled and carried Zheng Juan into the bathroom despite her resistance. After a while, the sound of playing cards could be heard from inside.
On the second day.
It was just daybreak when Su Mingzhe woke up from his sleep.
This small western-style building has good sound insulation, and Su Mingzhe needs to listen carefully to hear the noises of Zheng's mother cooking in the kitchen.
"Aren't you going to sleep?"
Zheng Juan was awakened by the man. Looking at the man's bright eyes, she was a little surprised. It was still dark outside.
At this time, it was just past four in the morning.
The man doesn't need to go out hunting, so why does he wake up so early?
"sleep."
Su Mingzhe answered the woman in a firm tone, and then, under Zheng Juan's astonished gaze, began to check whether she was carrying any dangerous weapons.
At around six o'clock in the morning, Su Mingzhe finally announced that Zheng Juan did not carry any dangerous weapons and could leave.
"Get up quickly, it's already dawn."
Zheng Juan endured her fatigue, climbed out of bed, then rolled her eyes at the man who was acting like a rogue on the bed. Her charming and seductive look almost made Su Mingzhe pull her back into bed.
"There's nothing to do, why are you getting up so early?"
Although Su Mingzhe didn't want to get up, all the women were up and it would be boring for him to lie down alone.
After washing up, they went to the living room and found that Zheng's mother had already prepared breakfast.
"Why isn't our mother home?"
"My mother might have gone out for a walk."
Zheng Juan asked Su Mingzhe to clean up the messy bedroom. She went out and looked for the old lady and brought her back for breakfast.
After the three of them had dinner, Zheng Juan took the old lady back to Taiping Hutong.
Su Mingzhe tidied himself up and went out shopping.
When it was almost noon, Su Mingzhe went to Taiping Hutong, picked up Zheng Juan and took them back to Su's house for lunch.
After lunch, Zheng Juan wanted to take her son back to Taiping Hutong, but Jiang Cuiping held her grandson tightly and refused to let go.
"Forget it, let my mother take care of him. She's in good health anyway, and taking care of a grandson won't be tiring for her."
Su Mingzhe pulled Zheng Juan out of the house and said:
"Wife, please have dinner at Taiping Hutong tonight. I'm going to meet up with my friends tonight."
"Then drink less."
Zheng Juan had little control over Su Mingzhe. She tidied the man's clothes and rode her bicycle back to Taiping Hutong.
Su Mingzhe walked to the pharmacy, bought some Chinese herbal medicine and some gifts, and then walked towards the Zhou family.
