Chapter 59
At the dinner table, around the time when they were getting along quite happily, the little boy who had pinched the green vegetables into his bowl suddenly put forward his own small request:
“Uncle Zhou, can I have my own bookcase in my new home?”
“You can with have a whole separate study.”
“Really?” Li Che’s eyes widened in disbelief, staring at the man in front of him as if looking at the savior of the new century.
“Your uncle Zhou shouldn’t be able to lie to you,” Wen Ning in front of the child how would she be willing to compromise Zhou Yinchu’s face, she narrated, “When Auntie He Mei introduces to the decoration company has already done the preliminary plumbing and electricity, mom and uncle Zhou discuss how to set up your study. ”
The new home project is naturally moving forward, Wen Ning used to feel that this was a period of time that could be used as a buffer.
Now, after Li Che’s reminder, it’s time to get a grip.
Invisibly, the way all relationships were presented was like riding a rocket.
“Let’s go to the new home later to take a look?” Zhou Yinchu suggested.
Wen Ning politely declined, “It’s too late, so don’t go, he should be busy with school in the next couple of days, it’s about to be summer vacation.”
In the end, she couldn’t really leave this man who spends a lot of money out in the cold, “Wait, I’ll follow you there.”
“Good.”
Once dinner is finished, Wen mother rarely rush to wash the dishes, Zhou Yinchu arranged for someone to send the dishwasher has been loaded, not good at using, and think that this thing is very power-consuming old man made a short-lived change, threw a not willing to put the detergent gel, and swept a few eyes, and did not interfere with the dishwasher’s operation.
She pulled Zhou Yinchu, seems to have other words to say.
Wen Ning was confused, only to see her mother deliberately avoided her, she did not know exactly what her mother to do, but a glimpse of the mother still found the extra heavy pockets.
Mother Wen had slipped a large red envelope to Zhou Yinchu.
“Xiao Zhou, you these days, for the family to buy this and that, I this heart is not at all over it,” Wen mother politely said, “it happens to be the year before last when the interest rate is high deposited a two-year fixed term, just arrived, this is not, thinking that you and Ning Ning together, I have nothing to show. ”
From the sidelines to know probably so, Wen Ning had to get involved.
“Mom, what are you doing with this today ……” she followed up, so as not to make the scene unpleasant, “It’s unlikely that A Yin would be short of this amount of money ah.”
Zhou Yinchu, however, was different from what she had envisioned, or perhaps better at managing relationships than she had imagined.
In the face of this token of appreciation, he didn’t try to excuse himself, but accepted it happily.
This money is obviously so small that it doesn’t matter to him, but he treats it as if he has really gotten a huge sum of money, revealing the smile that people usually put on when they meet their elders, “Thank you, auntie.”
“You will use the money in the future in many places, I am old and can not help …… much.”
“Don’t you say that, the significance of this red packet is very important to me, I’ll make proper use of this money, and perhaps pay for quite a few drinks afterward.” Zhou Yinchu even purposely arranged the use for this.
“You are willing to accept, my heart is too happy,” Wen mother ignored her daughter who did not allow herself to do so, she was instead very out of trip (in local language, the demeanor is generous), talking about the old things, “under the end of the year, there is still a sum, that’s what we, Ning Ning, owe you.”
“Say what we have to pay back.”
“Mom, I’ve spent a lot of money on him now, it’s not a sum or two that can be counted.”
“You girl, you really don’t understand anything at all.” Wen mother understands her daughter’s heart, to really make these two children free from the influence of the past, she thought that no matter what, she should also make up for the deficit of one hundred thousand dollars that year.
This is love and justice, but also ordinary people know the minimum reason.
She didn’t want to leave her daughter in the dust one day in the future because of that sum of money.
With that said, she left space for the two, which in her eyes were simply the most compatible bunch of people under the sky.
“Your mom wants to explain to me, why don’t you want to open your mouth and talk?”
“It happened hundreds of years ago, why do you remember it so clearly?” Wenning was intentionally forgetting and not mentioning it anymore.
Within a day, she had already said exactly what the money was for in front of his mother, and she really didn’t see the need to repeat the explanation.
There was no other reason, her unspeakable secret, for Zhou Yinchu to know, only to be afraid to think that his heart at that time exists in what a huge reluctance to give up.
He did not press her for a real answer.
She didn’t have to look like a woman who was being held hostage.
But he is so silent watching himself, eyes flow seems to be flat, but only in close to his heartbeat she can confirm his dark current.
Those unknown emotions only known to each other are always more likely to make a woman give in than power: “I say.”
“At that time, it coincided with the relocation of the old campus, the price of housing could not be said to have increased dramatically, but it always made people feel that their hands were tight.”
Wen Ning was not as calm and rational as she would be if she were to confide in an outsider, she maintained her usual objectivity as much as possible, describing the hardship and helplessness of that year in a few words.
“My mom for me to go to school has already borrowed a round of money from relatives, which has not yet been paid back, we mother and daughter do not have the good sense to reach out and borrow again, and just at that time, your mom appeared, and it was considered to be a solution to our family’s immediate needs.”
“Such a big thing happened to your family, Wenning why didn’t you talk to me at first?”
“You’re a high school student, where did you get a hundred thousand dollars out of thin air?” Wen Ning is not that clear about Zhou Yinchu’s financial situation, or, for young people the focus never falls on people’s family background, “Even if you have it, you gave it to me, sure you won’t despise me for it?”
“No, belittling is not necessarily,” she had long since seen through him nowadays, “you might be full of ways for me to repay you.”
If there was any difference between the Zhou Yinchu of the past and the Zhou Yinchu of the present, it was perhaps not essentially different.
There was only a slight difference in the way of expression, which was probably a bit more youthful back then.
“That’s not true of course, you took my hundred thousand dollars and you still don’t want to be my wife?”
“I knew it.”
“Do not let things like that happen again, money or legal team,” he was not even afraid to mention the haze left behind by her previous marriage, “do not hide, when you need, just look for me.”
Before, do not understand why there are so many misunderstandings in the story.
But the smile of the misunderstanding once happened, that missed life will always be misunderstood, not for the past and some entanglement, the man’s eyebrows slightly moved, talking to the woman’s posture really does not count too high.
Wen Ning counted the pile of money given by her mother, surprisingly enough, as much as thirty thousand.
“I haven’t seen her this generous to anyone in the past.”
Normal ordinary people’s lives, for the use of each sum of money is always careful, afraid of more than one point, the future life is difficult.
I think the reason why my mother paid such a large sum of money, nearly a whole year of her pension, was not to please her new son-in-law, but more to support herself.
At the time of moving, he heard Zhou Yinchu boasted: “Maybe he is too satisfied with me as a son-in-law.”
Wen Ning drove, the two from the Jiangcheng city center supporting slightly older business district along the river, all the way to their new home in the Economic Development Zone.
The area planted with greenery was obviously larger than Zhou Yinchu’s original home, and with such an abundance of greenery, it was hard not to put people in a good mood.
In the haze of the night, they familiarized themselves with their new future home once again.
As they watched, Zhou Yinchu picked two pieces of the best material from the wooden boards that had piled up at some point in time from the garage in the backyard.
He wore the camouflage nylon gloves often worn by workers, and a gray work uniform that was always reminiscent of the days of the Burning Years, but it was that tightly wrapped work uniform that Zhou Yinchu always found refreshing to wear.
That kind of primitive, in full of male power to work on the picture was born.
Wenning could not help but think of the lumberjack hero in the Notebook, or maybe there was more to him than that. Sexy beads of sweat fell on his neck, but the towel she had prepared in her hand hesitated, not knowing at what moment to send it up.
Quite that didn’t leave any doubt that Zhou Yinchu hadn’t just come over for a quick spin; he was well-equipped, more like he’d come prepared.
“You this is,” work for half a day, Wen Ning does not understand here is not unable to afford to hire workers, what work needs to be high above the Zhou General Manager personally to do, originally also intends to banter a couple of sentences, but just because of the filled with testosterone in this dress, she could not bear to frequently look at the work of the man, in the face of his busy and erect figure, “what work needs you to do? “What kind of work do you need to do personally?”
“Not Li Che wants a bookcase?”
“I’ll do it.”
And right after returning this set of cold and hard cut work clothes, Wen Ning realized that even Zhou Yinchu’s appearance when he spoke was sexier and more charming than usual.
When the man saw that she did not immediately say a thousand polite words, he slowly took off his gloves with one hand and propped himself up on the wall close at hand, “What, questioning my ability?”
Wen Ning could not look directly at the muscular lines of his body in the work clothes under a glimpse of the dark as gray color reduces the visual saturation, but always in another way more straightforward digging out can not be blinded to everything, she tried to defuse: “No, just so hot days, I do not think there is a need for this, we will need the size of the carpenter workers told is not it? ”
Zhou Yinchu, however, said, “I couldn’t tell before that our Ning Ning liked to make others so much.”
“Why don’t you just make use of me this time?”
She was flattered.
It had to be admitted that being a mother would always be extra attentive to her child’s requirements, but that didn’t mean that she was so bold as to make her reserved new husband do such a rough job.
He had already set the largest plank in the center of the wall on either side.
A few nails down made it look secure.
The grain of that plank was not as clear and single as ebony, but it was extremely fine, and the texture was on the softer side, like fine North American cherry wood.
“You sit on it and try?”
“No.” Wen Ning subconsciously refused.
She was willing to trust his level of hands-on skill, but it also meant that she had to sit on a plank that she had beaten with her own hands, especially right in front of him.
No one could predict what would happen next.
Once she sat on it, after all, she was facing the handsome face that was still irresistible to her even after years of absence.
“How do you know if this bookcase can support a large number of books if you don’t try?” It seems that making a bookcase is like an excuse to lure her in step by step. Luring her in step by step was the man’s purpose tonight.
The test was a little too blunt.
“Zhou Yinchu.” She reminded him in a cold voice, she didn’t want to be left to his nonsense.
Talk about petulance, it wasn’t that there was a lack of experience or communication in that area over the course of time, it was just that he was dressed so unconventionally today that she was frequently watching, addicted, and had to use every ounce of her mind to repress it.
She swore that she must be under compulsion.
“Winning, I beat the bookcase for your child myself, don’t you think of giving me something in return?” He wiped the dust left on the cherry wood with one hand.
He was still a demanding man, and although “payback” was Wenning’s inherent opinion of him, he didn’t mind revealing his true humanity for this reason.
“How?”
Following his mind to guess, this question is not difficult to solve.
Wenning closed her eyes with difficulty, but found that surrendering was the easiest thing to do all along, she might have resisted the obsessions of her heart, the desires . Desire, but in front of the person they really love, no one will not sink into it: “In the body?”
