Rebirth at 70: I am the rough man’s treasure

It was the picture of pine trees painted by Ye Zhengwen, and Wu Shengqian tried to glue the fragments together.

But he was not born to do such detailed work, so his hands were all covered in paste, and the fragments of the painting were twisted and sticky, making it impossible to see.

"I want to wait until it's done before returning it to you."

Seeing Yang Xiaotian's disgusted expression, Wu Shengqian felt very uncomfortable and stumbled.

Yang Xiaotian still had a sullen face and said in a low voice: "Let's forget it. This painting was just torn into pieces. If you stick it together like this, it will turn into a black piece."

Wu Shengqian pursed his lips.

he……

Not that stupid, right?

Seeing his aggrieved look but not daring to refute, Yang Xiaotian couldn't help laughing.

But she still held back her laughter, walked to the table and said, "You go and serve the food, I will do it myself."

Wu Shengqian stopped interfering and honestly poured out the porridge, braised mutton and steamed buns, waiting for her to finish them and come over to eat.

Yang Xiaotian was so ingenious that even though one of her hands was injured, it only took a few minutes for the painting to be completely glued together.

If you look closely, you can still see the signs of tearing, but if you look at it from a distance, it seems to be intact.

"You can still do it."

Wu Shengqian praised flatteringly.

Yang Xiaotian didn't say anything, directed him to hang the painting, and then sat down to eat with him.

Because of Yang Xiaotian's hand injury, Wu Shengqian was worried that she would be at home alone. At the same time, in order to spend more time with her, he asked Lian Dagen to take over for him. He stayed at home and took care of Yang Xiaotian.

Yang Xiaotian has become a completely hands-off shopkeeper. She doesn't wash the dishes, cook or wash the dishes.

Wu Shengqian had no complaints. She was a hard-working person, but she felt a little uncomfortable.

Especially later in the afternoon, Wu Shengqian saw a large basin in the corner of the room with the two people's dirty clothes in it.Without saying a word, he took the basin and went to the courtyard to wash.

Yang Xiaotian was feeding the rabbit in the backyard and found him washing her clothes. She blushed and ran over to stop him: "Put it down, I can wash it myself!"

"My hands are like that, how can I wash them? Are you polite to me? It's okay, I'll do it."

Wu Shengqian didn't care. He held the clothes in his thick hands, making the fabric look like a small ball.

Yang Xiaotian saw that he was washing her coat. In the dirty clothes basin, a little further down was...

Her face felt hot, and she rushed to grab the basin, but Wu Shengqian quickly took it aside and muttered: "You can rest when I tell you to, why are you so stubborn?"

As he spoke, the last piece had been washed. He rummaged through the dirty clothes basin and took out a small bra with his fingers.

Yang Xiaotian's family was poor and she didn't have underwired bras like this before. She always wore vests made by her mother herself.

Later, when she arrived at Yangkoupo, Wu Shengqian no longer criticized her harshly for household expenses, so she saved a few dollars. Not long ago, she went to the town's supply and marketing cooperative to buy two pairs of underwear.

Wu Shengqian and she had never done anything between men and women, and he didn't understand women's intimate clothes at all.

Moreover, there were few corsets in those days, and this was the first time Wu Shengqian had seen them.

Yang Xiaotian's face was so red that it was almost congested, but Wu Shengqian looked confused. He hooked his fingers around the shoulder strap and shook it twice. He frowned and asked, "Where...are you wearing this thing?"

"Give it to me!"

Yang Xiaotian bit her lip and started to grab it.

Wu Shengqian subconsciously hid, looked at her underwear, and then at Yang Xiaotian's body.

Finally, his eyes fell on the two bulging hills on her chest, and an electric light flashed in his mind, and he suddenly understood.

"Oh……"

He looked suddenly enlightened.

However, Yang Xiaotian wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it, so she finally grabbed her underwear, gritted her teeth and cursed "rascal", and the rabbit immediately hid back in the house.

Wu Shengqian came back to his senses and sat on the bench in the courtyard, smiling silently in front of a pile of dirty clothes.

After laughing enough, he lowered his head and realized that his good-for-nothing "brother" had now raised his head.

"Fortunately, my wife didn't see it, otherwise, wouldn't I be sentenced to death?"

He endured the heat all over his body, muttered to himself, and then began to rub his clothes.

Finally, Wu Shengqian helped wash the underwear.

When he went back to the house to ask for it, he said frankly: "Your hands are not convenient. If I don't wash it, who will wash it? Besides, it's just a piece of clothing, and I'm not the one to wash it for you."

"Don't talk!"

Yang Xiaotian was even more embarrassed by what he said.

He continued: "You love cleanliness so much that you have to wash your clothes immediately after changing them every day. If you don't give them to me now, they will stink later. Can you still wash them? Be obedient and give them to me. I will take them off myself sooner or later. What's the matter? embarrassing."

"Stop talking!"

Yang Xiaotian was about to cry, why did this person keep talking more and more enthusiastically!

If I don’t give it to him, I don’t know what nonsense he will say!

So, Yang Xiaotian reluctantly gave him the task of washing underwear.

By the time he finished washing, it was almost noon.

The two had lunch together. Wu Shengqian was about to make a bed for Yang Xiaotian so that she could have a good sleep, when a steward from the Yangchang Commune came to the door.

The officer said: "Wu Shengqian, Director Ma and Deputy Director Chen are looking for you. Go to the commune at two o'clock in the afternoon."

Finished talking and left.

Yang Xiaotian was a little uneasy, and finally took the initiative to talk to him: "Why are we looking for you? Could it be... what did Ye Zhengwen do again? I said that to him in public yesterday, and I won't let him Are you angry?"

Wu Shengqian recalled Ye Zhengwen's appearance, shook his head and denied, "No, Ye Zhengwen is not such a mean person."

"Ha, I don't know who gnashed their teeth when mentioning him, shouting 'Ye' one after another. Has it changed now? Is he a good person again?"

Yang Xiaotian couldn't help but stab him a few times, expressing her bad temper from the past few days.

Wu Shengqian smiled peacefully and said: "It was my fault before, didn't I admit it? In fact, even now, I don't like this Ye Zhengwen. Humph, what good thing can he do if he only cares about my wife? However, I think his character is pretty good, and he doesn’t look like someone who always makes people stumbling.”

"Humph, whatever you say makes sense."

Yang Xiaotian rolled her eyes at him and went to take a nap on the kang.

She said she was unforgiving, but when it was time for Wu Shengqian to go out, she still got off the kang and wanted to follow him to the commune.

Wu Shengqian smiled, walked out the door, and naturally came to hold her hand.

She ducked sideways and warned, "Don't push yourself too far!"

"Sure, it's whatever you say."

Wu Shengqian retracted his hand good-temperedly and walked beside Yang Xiaotian, walking slowly.

Yang Xiaotian walked side by side with him like this, reminding her of that day in the provincial capital, when he strode like lightning and left her behind.

The anger in her heart came up again, so she deliberately slowed down her pace again and again, wanting to torture Wu Shengqian.

His legs are long and strong, and he is really not used to being so slow.

Seeing his uncomfortable look, Yang Xiaotian was about to snicker when she was suddenly caught in his arms and bent down to give her a princess hug.
