Counterattack 1988

Chapter 18 The twisted melon is not sweet, but it quenches thirst!

Wang Lin just came in with a dish, and when he heard Zhou Porridge's question, he couldn't help but feel dazed.

Li Wenxiu's hands, which were counting treasury bills, also stopped, letting out a faint sigh.

Zhou Porridge put the agreement on the table and said, "Who will give me an explanation? What's going on? Are you treating marriage like a house?"

Li Wenxiu bit her lip, and said in a voice like a gnat: "This is between me and Wang Lin, Assistant Zhou, just leave it alone."

Zhou Congee asked, "Li Wenxiu, since you don't love Wang Lin, why did you agree to marry him?"

Li Wenxiu was speechless: "I—"

Wang Lin smiled and said, "Assistant Zhou, Wenxiu can't be blamed for this matter. I'm not good enough to be worthy of her. She wants a divorce, and I agreed."

"Then what is your relationship now?"

"Cohabitation relationship! Let's live like this for a few years!" Wang Lin said indifferently, "At that time, just pull the divorce certificate and it will be over. She will pass her Yangguan Road, and I will take my single-plank bridge!"

"I think that what you do is extremely irresponsible to yourself and your marriage!" Zhou Porridge said, "If you don't love, why do you want to marry again? It's not easy to leave! This is not to waste each other's time I really don't understand! Forget it, I don't want to eat your meal either. After you count the treasury bills, I will leave."

Li Wenxiu said: "Assistant Zhou, don't be angry!"

Zhou Congee said: "Why should I be angry? What does it matter to me whether you are divorced or not? I just don't like your hasty behavior."

Li Wenxiu and Wang Lin looked at each other.

Zhou Conge waited for Li Wenxiu to count the treasury bills twice, then immediately picked up the bag and left Wang Lin's house.

Wang Lin sent her downstairs, and said with a smile, "Assistant Zhou, I've made you laugh. I'm very embarrassed that you didn't stay for dinner. It seems that you came here specially to trade treasury bonds."

Zhou Porridge looked around and saw that no one heard him, so he said: "Okay, don't give it away. I really can't understand you two! I know this is a secret between you two, but now I have bumped into it." It’s broken. Seriously, I’m embarrassed to stay here! Goodbye! Also, you’d better keep your purchase of treasury bills under wraps. After all, the policy hasn’t been relaxed yet! This is illegal. Trading behavior!"

Wang Lin nodded.

Zhou Congee took two steps, then turned around suddenly, and said with a smile, "Do you really want to treat me to dinner? Treat me to a restaurant some other day!"

Wang Lin was stunned, and then said: "Okay! You set a time."

Zhou Porridge smiled sweetly, but he couldn't see the slightest sign of anger.

Wang Lin went upstairs and returned home.

Li Wenxiu sat at the table in a daze, and said slowly: "It's all my fault, why did you bring out that agreement?"

Wang Lindao: "It's okay, she knows it when she knows it! What's the matter?"

Li Wenxiu covered her face and said, "When she went outside, the whole factory knew about our signing of the pre-divorce agreement! Are you afraid of being laughed at?"

Wang Lindao: "What's there to be afraid of? When you get divorced, others should laugh at you, and you should laugh at others?"

Li Wenxiu silently collected the money and treasury bills and put them inside.

She came out and said, "Treasury bills and money are all in the secret compartment."

Wang Lin responded: "It's just the two of us, let's make do with it. There are two more dishes, and there is no need to fry them. I will freeze them in cold water and fry them for lunch tomorrow. When I make money, the first one in the family will be bought. My electrical appliance is a refrigerator!"

Li Wenxiu said: "Refrigerator? That would cost more than two thousand yuan! It's better to change to a color TV!"

As she spoke, she turned on the TV, and it happened to play the city news.

Li Wenxiu sat down, picked up his chopsticks, and asked, "Why do you buy so many treasury bills? Others are selling them, but you are better off, buy them and keep them at home! You have managed to earn some money, and I tell you to save it." , you don’t listen! This time I spent more than half of it.”

Wang Lindao: "Don't worry, these treasury bills will soon generate money for us!"

"Last time you said that eggs can make eggs, but this time you said that treasury bills can make money?" Li Wenxiu couldn't help laughing, "Why are you talking more and more strangely?"

"Did the egg last time lay eggs for us?"

"That's true. You can sell eggs for 10.88 yuan for [-] yuan. Each egg has produced more than one! However, this treasury bond is different. It is fixed-term, and the longest waiting period is nine years. It cannot be exchanged at maturity! You might as well put your money in a savings bank, the five-year interest rate is [-] points!"

"Treasury bonds have been freely traded. They can be traded in our city on April 4. The price will definitely increase by then. If you don't believe me, you and I will ask for leave that day, and we will sell treasury bonds together."

"You are a person, the things in your mind are always different! If you are right again this time, I will—"

"Aren't you going to get a divorce?"

"I'll buy you a present!"

"Your monthly salary has been handed over to me to pay off the debt. Where do you have money to buy me gifts?"

"I have a bonus! Last month I won the production pacesetter of our group, and I was awarded 10 yuan! I originally kept it as food expenses, but you said you would support me, so I saved the money Now, let’s buy a present for you.”

"So powerful?" Wang Lin said with a smile, "Have you thought about giving me any presents?"

"Don't tell you!"

"I'm looking forward to it!"

"You went to Shen Xue's house for dinner, and you didn't have anything to do with her?"

"Hehe, are you expecting something to happen between me and her? Or are you afraid of something happening between me and her?"

"I don't look forward to it, and I don't even fear it! I let you down!"

"Hey, I have an appointment with her to watch a movie together next week!"

"Really? What movie are you watching?"

"Love on Lushan Mountain."

"That's an old movie."

"It's an old movie, but it's still good-looking. There is a scene in it, which is the first in the domestic film industry!"

"What lens?"

"kiss!"

"kiss?"

"That's right, it's just a kiss! That's the first kiss on a big screen in China!"

"..."

Li Wenxiu bit her lip, put down the bowl and chopsticks: "I'm full, you can eat!"

"Hey, does your stomach still hurt? I'll make brown sugar ginger tea for you later."

"No need, I can make it myself."

Wang Lin had nothing to do at night, so he just watched TV at home.

Li Wenxiu wants to watch "A Dream of Red Mansions", and Wang Lin wants to watch martial arts movies.

Two people, you twist the channel change button, and I twist the channel change button.

As a result, Wang Lin used too much force and broke the knob!

The two looked at each other.

Li Wenxiu chuckled: "That's it! I don't even have to watch it!"

Wang Lin looked at the snowflakes on the TV, turned his mind, and said with a smile, "I have a solution."

He found the pliers at home, clamped the iron piece under the knob, and turned it hard.

Clap!
The TV channel has changed!
Li Wenxiu said softly: "I beg you, watch The Dream of the Red Chamber! The two best episodes are showing today!"

Wang Lin said helplessly: "I have to listen to you. I owe you in my previous life! If you leave me, where will you go to find such a good husband like me?"

Li Wenxiu pursed her lips and smiled, and sat down to watch TV.

Wang Lin laid out the melon seeds and fruits he had bought, and the two of them watched while eating.

"Do you women really want to marry a man like Jia Baoyu?" Wang Lin asked.

Li Wenxiu said: "No, right? I don't want to marry. Jia Baoyu is too philandering, and his personality is too soft. Seeing him and Lin Daiyu fall in love, I would die of anxiety! A man like him is fine as a friend, but not as a husband." Oh no."

"Then what kind of husband do you want?"

"Treat me well, be responsible, know what's cold and what's hot."

"I think you forgot to mention a prerequisite: undergraduate graduates!"

"Even if I have such a request, am I wrong?"

"Good luck! Did you find it?"

"Even if I want to look for it, I have to wait until I leave this house! What about you, what do you want to look for?"

"You are like this! If I don't like you, can I marry you back?"

"I see that you clearly want to be like Shen Xue."

"Even if I have such an idea, there is nothing wrong with it."

"Twisted melon, not sweet!"

"Twisted melons are not necessarily sweet, but they definitely quench your thirst!"

"Let's talk about it when you twist it!"

"I'll make brown sugar ginger tea for you."

Wang Lin got up, made her a cup of brown sugar ginger tea, and brought it in front of her.

I saw Li Wenxiu watching TV with tears streaming down his face.

It turned out that it was put in the episode of Qingwen's illness and death.

Perhaps Wang Lin has too much experience, and he also knows that TV is all deceptive stories, so no matter how touching the plot is, it is difficult for him to be moved to tears.

He brought a towel over and handed it to Li Wenxiu.

Li Wenxiu took it, wiping away tears.

Just after wiping the tears, the plot went a little further and she cried again.

Wang Lin was confused by her sensibility and low tears and didn't know how to comfort her.

"Qingwen is just a girl, and it's just a little bit of TV time every night to accompany you, and she doesn't appear on many scenes! You cry like this when she dies. If I die in the future, will you Are you crying for me?" Wang Lin asked suddenly.

Li Wenxiu wiped her eyes and said, "We'll be divorced a long time ago when you die. Even if I want to cry for you, it's not my turn. Your wife will cry for you!"

"Heartless people!" Wang Lin shook his head.

"That's right, so you should find a good one as soon as possible!"

"Don't worry, I'm sure I can find someone better than you!"

"I'm waiting! Just don't make me wait too long, I'll pay off the debt and I'll be gone!"

"Do you think you are Lin Daiyu? If someone pays back the tears, you pay back the debt!"

"That's right, every woman is here to pay back! You men just don't know how to cherish! Didn't you say that you don't like to watch Dream of the Red Chamber? How do you understand it so well?"

"I've watched it more than a dozen times, and I'm tired of watching it!"

"Nonsense, this show only came out years ago, and this is the second rerun! Where have you watched it more than ten times?"

"I mean, I've read the book "A Dream of Red Mansions" a dozen times!"

"Really? Can you read books?"

"You only see love and love on TV, but you don't know that these are false words. This book is actually a realistic novel that alludes to history! Red means Zhu, and Zhu refers to the Ming Dynasty. Destruction is to commemorate the demise of the Ming Dynasty."

"Huh! Is it true or not? I haven't read the book, so I don't know if what you said is right. I think you are lying. I don't even have the book Dream of the Red Chamber at home!"

"There were some in the past, but I found them in tatters and sold them to the tatter collectors." Wang Lin lied, his face blushing.

Li Wenxiu believed it was true: "Hurry up tomorrow, I'll go to the bookstore to buy a set and come back and have a look!"

"Don't read it. This book is too profound. It involves Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism. It's easy to shift your mind. I'm afraid you won't have enough concentration and will be harmed by the book."

"Wang Lin, even a junior high school student like you can understand Dream of the Red Chamber, can I still understand?"

"Don't always use your secondary school education to pressure me!"

"Why can't I use my academic qualifications to pressure you? Aren't my years of study in vain?"

"..."

Wang Lin realized that he had never won a fight with Li Wenxiu.
