Counterattack 1988

Chapter 30

After returning to Shencheng, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening.

It is no longer possible to sell treasury bills today.

At the door of the house, Wang Lin heard a burst of laughter like silver bells coming from the house.

He opened the door and went in, and saw Li Wenxiu and her younger sister Li Wenjuan sitting together, making matchboxes and watching TV at the same time!
The laughter just now came from my sister-in-law Li Wenjuan.

After graduating from high school, Li Wenjuan did not go to university, and did not find a suitable job for a while. She was unemployed at home. Her family also has an older brother named Li Wenbing, who is also unemployed now.

Li Wenxiu's father works in a canning factory, and her mother works in a flour mill. The salary is not very high, and the benefits are not good. Especially in the canning factory, the efficiency has declined seriously. It is said that only 70% of the salary is paid.

Seeing Wang Lin come back, Li Wenjuan jumped up as if there were springs under her buttocks, and shouted with a smile, "Brother-in-law!"

Wang Lin smiled slightly at her: "Wenjuan is here."

Li Wenjuan said: "My sister called me here, saying that you are on a business trip for the past few days and asked me to come and accompany her. I didn't expect you to come back so soon."

Wang Lindao: "I still have a business trip! Don't rush home, stay at my house first. Come on, Wenjuan, I bought some Luzhou specialties, you go wash your hands and eat."

"Really? What's delicious?" Li Wenjuan smiled happily. She and her sister look like they were carved out of the same mold, but she is more lively and outgoing, not as quiet and delicate as Li Wenxiu .

Wang Lin took out some special products: "This is Langya Sutang, this is Tongling Sutang, this is Huaining Tribute Cake, and this is Wuwei Salted Duck."

"Wow, sister, come and see, my brother-in-law bought you so many delicious food!" Li Wenjuan didn't have time to wash her hands, she pointed with her fingers, and shouted, "Brother-in-law, feed me this, I want crispy candies !"

Wang Lin peeled off a crisp candy and put it in her mouth.

Li Wenjuan bit down and bit Wang Lin's hand.

Wang Lin groaned, "I won't feed you anymore, you should wash your hands and eat by yourself!"

Li Wenxiu lowered her head to paste the matchbox, and pursed her lips into a smile: "You deserved to be bitten by her! Didn't you know that she was a famous little greedy cat since she was a child?"

Wang Lin peeled off two crispy candies and handed them to Li Wenxiu's mouth: "Let me feed it to you!"

Li Wenxiu glanced at him: "Is it fun outside?"

Wang Lin stuffed the crispy candy into her mouth: "It's fun! The streets are full of beauties from Luzhou!"

Li Wenxiu was chewing on the crispy candy, and the words in his mouth were a little unclear.

Wang Lin didn't hear what she said, and he didn't care. He said with a smile, "Let me ask you something, how much is a pair of fitness pants?"

"I haven't bought it again! Those pants are so expensive! What's wrong?"

"Do you know the price?"

Li Wenjuan came over after washing her hands, and said, "I know! It costs thirty yuan a piece! Brother-in-law, do you want to buy it for my sister?"

Wang Lindao: "Your sister must look good in clothes! Wenjuan, you haven't found a job yet, have you?"

"Brother-in-law, you don't dislike me, do you?" Li Wenjuan said while eating candy, "I don't live in your house for nothing, I helped my sister paste matchboxes!"

Wang Lin smiled and said, "That's not what I mean. I just care about you. Just ask me. You can live here if you want, for the rest of your life!"

Li Wenxiu said: "It's strange what you said! She is my younger sister, and she will live here for the rest of her life? Then she won't get married?"

Li Wenjuan said with a smile: "Brother-in-law is saying that I can live if I want to! Sister, don't go online with brother-in-law!"

Li Wenxiu saw her younger sister unwrapping Wuwei salted duck, and hurriedly said: "You don't want to touch that duck, save it for tomorrow's lunch!"

She asked Wang Lin again: "Have you had dinner yet?"

"There's nothing to eat!" Wang Lin said, "After a day's train ride, I just ate some bread you bought."

"The things I bought yesterday morning, why did you keep them for so long?"

"I can't bear to eat."

"You! You spend money that shouldn't be spent! You can't bear to spend money that should be spent!"

As Li Wenxiu said, she went to wash her hands, cut half of a salted duck, ordered a bowl of egg noodles, and served it to Wang Lin.

Li Wenjuan said: "Sister, you are really partial. I want to eat duck, but you refuse. Brother-in-law can eat it?"

"Can you compare with him? He's making money, you're playing!" Li Wenxiu laughed, "Have you eaten enough? If you've had enough, go on to making matchboxes."

"Oh, sister, let me take a break!" Li Wenjuan flicked her wrist, looked at the duck meat in Wang Lin's bowl, and licked her lips, "Brother-in-law, feed me a bite of duck. I haven't eaten meat for a long time."

Li Wenxiu said: "What you said is lying, you didn't eat pork at my house at noon? You fed the white-eyed wolf!"

Li Wenjuan said: "I didn't eat enough!"

Wang Lin picked up two slices of duck meat and handed them to her.

"Well, it's delicious! Delicious!" Li Wenjuan repeatedly praised her, her little red mouth was smeared with oil, and it shone brightly.

Wang Lin picked up the bowl, and also took two slices for Li Wenxiu to eat.

Li Wenxiu ate it in one gulp, and asked, "Have you bought treasury bonds yet?"

"bought."

"What price did you buy?"

"94 yuan!"

"How much can you sell?"

"The price is different every day. I will find out when I go to the securities sales department tomorrow and check the market."

"You're tired too, go take a shower and rest!"

Wang Lindao: "I'm not tired, I fell asleep on the train."

On the way back, he brought treasury bills with him, so he felt more at ease, so he took a nap.

He asked, "Is there anything going on in the factory these two days?"

Li Wenxiu said: "What could be the matter? Do you think that the machine repair team won't transfer without you?"

"Hehe, I don't have such an idea."

"You want to ask Assistant Zhou?"

"It's fine, I asked her why!"

"I think you just want to ask her news. I'm disappointed that she never came to you!"

"..."

"Why don't you go look for her now? Maybe she has been thinking about you!" Li Wenxiu gave him a sideways look.

Wang Lin shook his head speechlessly, changed his clothes, hung a towel around his neck, picked up the basin, filled it with soap and shampoo, and went to take a bath.

He came back from the shower and went to the single room behind the living room.

Li Wenjuan shouted: "Brother-in-law, what are you doing in my room?"

Wang Lin was stunned, turned around, and looked at Li Wenxiu puzzled.

Li Wenxiu also faced each other in astonishment.

That's right, in Li Wenjuan's eyes, he and Li Wenxiu are husband and wife, so they naturally share the same bed.

Therefore, after Li Wenjuan came to Wang Lin's house, she consciously slept on the small bed.

Wang Lin immediately came to his senses and said with a smile, "I have clothes in there, I'll go in and get them."

He entered the small room and saw a short skirt worn by a girl on the bed he slept on. He knew it belonged to Li Wenjuan, so he quickly moved his eyes away, thinking that this auntie was not very discreet. How can shorts be thrown around so casually?

Wang Lin took his clothes and went to the big bedroom. After putting on his coat, he came out to watch TV with them again.

The three of them watched TV until it was past ten o'clock.

Li Wenjuan didn't want to mess with the matchbox anymore, so she yawned and said, "Sister, I want to sleep."

Li Wenxiu said: "Go to sleep, I also rested."

Li Wenjuan went to sleep in the small bed at the back.

Li Wenxiu and Wang Lin looked at each other, but neither of them spoke.

"You should go to bed earlier!" Wang Lin said, "You have to go to work tomorrow!"

"Go to sleep first, I'll paste another hundred boxes."

"Then I will help you."

"Forget it, don't be confused. Go to sleep!"

Wang Lin turned off the TV and lights, and entered the room with Li Wenxiu.

"You sleep on the bed, I'll make the floor." Wang Lin said.

"No need." Li Wenxiu said, "The ground is too humid. Don't sleep on the ground."

Wang Lin laughed.

Li Wenxiu lay down on the bed with his clothes on, and said softly: "I let you sleep on the bed, but don't mess around!"

Wang Lindao: "Don't shout! Your sister is listening next door!"

Li Wenxiu turned sideways, bent her body, showing her curvaceous waist and buttocks to him: "Wang Lin, really don't mess around!"

Wang Lin looked distracted, and said, "Wenxiu, don't you think it's abnormal that we are in the same room and I don't respond to you at all?"

"You can react, but you can't mess around!"

"Li Wenxiu, you're communist! I'm sick, and you're responsible."

"Sleep!" Li Wenxiu turned off the light, "Turn off the light, you won't be able to see, and you won't feel uncomfortable."

Wang Lin lay down, deliberately got closer to her, and smelled the fragrance of her beautiful hair.

Li Wenxiu felt it, and turned around. She didn't expect him to be so close, and the corner of her mouth brushed against his face.

"Wang Lin! What are you doing?" Li Wenxiu asked angrily.

Wang Lin giggled: "You bumped into me yourself! I didn't kiss you!"

"You! Are you bored? Is it necessary? Besides bullying me, what else would you do?" Li Wenxiu began to cry.

"Hey!" Wang Lin stretched out his hand, wiped away the tears on her face, and said softly, "I'm teasing you! Don't cry, go to sleep!"

As he said that, he was lying far away from her. He was clearly on the same bed, but there seemed to be a Milky Way between them.

In the past two days, on the train and in the guest house, he was worried that his money would be stolen, so he basically didn't sleep well.

Back home now, I felt extraordinarily peaceful and safe. Smelling the faint fragrance from Li Wenxiu's body, he fell asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow.

Li Wenxiu heard his even and long breathing, and her restless mood gradually calmed down. She relaxed her body and slowly closed her eyes.
