Chapter 201: Meeting an Old Friend in the Bathhouse After Ning Weidong said that, Ning Wei scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly and laughed dryly: "Third brother, yes~that, Huaihua came to see me yesterday..." Ning Weidong remembered that Ning Wei and Huaihua met that night. At that time, Zhao Ruyu was thinking about bringing the two of them together. He asked, "Why did she ask you out? What did you do to her?" Ning Wei said quickly: "No, we went to the same middle school." Ning Weidong smiled, not interested in the past between Ning Wei and Huaihua: "You don't have to explain to me. By the way, Huaihua can find you if she wants. Why are you reporting to me?" Ning Wei grinned, not knowing what to say. In fact, he couldn't explain why he had to report to Ning Weidong, he just felt it was necessary to say it. Ning Weidong could probably guess what he was thinking.

Because of the incident with the female doctor last time, Ning Wei has suffered from a psychological disorder. He gets scared when he sees a woman approaching him. But his male instinct makes him unable to avoid women, so he wants to find some support from Ning Weidong. "You brat~" Ning Weidong cursed with a smile and patted Ning Wei: "Just treat others as you should. I don't believe you are so unlucky. Are all the women around you hostile to you? Do you really think you are Tang Seng?" Ning Wei's face turned red. He scratched the back of his head and didn't know what to say. Ning Weidong continued, "Aunt Qin can cook at the company. Ruyi must have done some research. She must be a decent family without any messy relationships." Regarding this, even if Zhao Ruyu had not considered it, Uncle Zheng who was sent by Zhao's father would have thought of it and done it. Ning Wei suddenly realized and nodded. Ning Weidong said: "Huaihua is her daughter, so there won't be any big mistakes. The girl looks pretty, too. If you are really wrong, just treat her well." Ning Wei responded and felt relieved. Ning Weidong added: "By the way, let Ruyi get you a motorcycle later so that it will be convenient for you to go out and do things." Ning Wei was stunned, and quickly said: "Third brother, there's really no need, I'm fine riding a bicycle." Ning Weidong waved his hand and said, "Okay, listen to me. Clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. Regardless of Huaihua or any other girl, can you ride a bicycle or a motorcycle in someone else's house be the same?" …… After saying this, Ning Weidong looked at Shi Xiaonan and said, "Let's go. We'll move in a few days after we've packed up." Shi Xiaonan said "hmm" obediently, followed Ning Weidong out of the yard, still looking back reluctantly. Ning Weidong pushed the bicycle and didn't urge her. Coming out of the alley and onto the main road, the two walked back along the sidewalk. Shi Xiaonan was still a little dazed. Thinking about the courtyard he had just seen, he felt it was unreal. She turned and looked at Ning Weidong next to her. She wanted to lean over and hug Ning Weidong's arm, but she was worried about being on the street, so she only whispered, "Weidong, you are so good to me!"

Ning Weidong smiled and said nothing. By the time we got back to the tube building, it was only half past three. As soon as he entered the room, Shi Xiaonan hugged Ning Weidong enthusiastically. She had been suppressing herself all this time, and now it felt like a fire was burning inside her body... Ning Weidong was in a relatively passive state throughout this process, and experienced Shi Xiaonan's hidden side for the first time. Before, Shi Xiaonan had always been delicate, with a kind of beauty that was sculpted and had an artistic sense. This time, it was as if his true nature was exposed, like a dancing and undulating flame, bursting out all the energy in his body. Perhaps this is Shi Xiaonan's true character. From the fact that she would rather divorce Wang Kai than give up on performing, we can see that she is never weak. Whether it is ambition or persistence, Shi Xiaonan is brave at heart. It was just concealed by her soft and delicate appearance. Ning Weidong didn't leave until it was almost time to get off work. Shi Xiaonan was so tired that he didn't want to move a finger, but he had a smile on his face and felt extremely happy. Ever since she had constant conflicts with Wang Kai and their divorce, she couldn't remember how long it had been since she felt so happy and relaxed. Ning Weidong went downstairs, got on his bicycle and frowned. Today, Zhao's father ended his business trip in Shanghai, and Zhao Ruyu had to go home in the evening. Ning Weidong doesn't need to go to the company, otherwise he wouldn't be messing around with Shi Xiaonan at this time. I didn't feel it just now, but when I put on my clothes and it was soaked with sweat, I suddenly felt a burning sensation on my back. It must have been scratched by Shi Xiaonan. I thought Shi Xiaonan was gentle and considerate, but who knew she could be so cruel when she got angry. When Ning Weidong returned home, many people in the yard had already gotten off work. It was hot and many people were cooling off in the yard. Uncle Lu saw Ning Weidong pushing his bicycle in and asked in surprise: "Weidong, you're here so early today~" Ning Weidong responded and stretched his neck to take a look at the basin in front of Uncle Lu: "Wow, you are going to fry some fish tonight~" The tin basin in front of Uncle Lu was filled with half a basin of miscellaneous fish, and he was cleaning the fish stomachs. Uncle Lu smiled and said, "I don't have that much oil. I'll let your aunt help me later." At this moment, two women came out of Zhou Kun's house in the north room. Zhou Kun followed behind, grinning from ear to ear, and happily escorted the two of them out. Ning Weidong understood at a glance that this person must be here for a blind date. The older one was probably the introducer. The young woman was good-looking, in her early twenties, and a little shy. Judging from her clothes, her family is not well off, so she must be wearing decent clothes when she comes for a blind date. Although the clothes she wears have no patches, they are somewhat faded.

But then again, if one's family is well-off, they probably won't look down on Zhou Kun. Ning Weidong was not interested in this matter. He just took a look and went back to the courtyard. As soon as I entered the yard, I saw Bai Fengqin sitting on a small stool, picking leeks in front of their door. When he heard someone coming in, he looked up and saw Ning Weidong, his eyes suddenly lit up and he called out "Brother Weidong". Ning Weidong responded and walked past Bai Fengqin. From this high angle he was able to look inside through her collar. Today Bai Fengqin was wearing a light yellow dacron shirt with a small vest underneath. Ning Weidong glanced around and saw an unfathomable ravine. Noticing Ning Weidong's gaze, Bai Fengqin blushed, but she didn't get startled. She just sat up slightly straighter. Ning Weidong withdrew his gaze and said to himself, "So big and so white." I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but in the more than one month since the college entrance examination, Bai Fengqin seems to have grown again. If she continues like this, her figure will probably surpass her sister, and she will be even better than her sister. Ning Weidong thought that it was probably because the college entrance examination was over, the pressure on her was relieved, and she was admitted to university, which allowed Bai Fengqin to absorb nutrients better. Fortunately, the place where she grew flesh was very suitable, so she didn't develop into a little fat girl. Ning Weidong asked, "Pick leeks and make dumplings in the evening?" Before Bai Fengqin could speak, Bai Fengyu stepped out and said with a smile: "Yes, boiled dumplings. Weidong, you haven't eaten yet, I brought you some~" Ning Weidong was just thinking about what to eat in the evening: "That would be great." After saying that, Ning Weidong went home, leaving Bai Fengqin looking at her cousin in surprise, and whispered: "Sister, when are we going to make dumplings? Didn't you say fried leeks with eggs~" Bai Fengyu turned around and walked into the house while answering: "Since Weidong asked, he must want to eat." Bai Fengqin blinked her eyes, and suddenly an idiom popped up in her mind: "understanding". This is probably it~ Compared to him, I am just a little fool. Bai Fengqin said: "Sister, it's a pity that you didn't catch up with the college entrance examination that year, otherwise you would definitely be able to pass it with your brain." Such a sudden remark left Bai Fengyu completely confused. Ning Weidong returned to the house. Since he had dinner in the evening, he simply packed some clothes, took some shampoo and soap, and went to the bathhouse to wash. He was at Shi Xiaonan's place just now and didn't even have the time to take a shower after finishing his work. It would take Bai Fengyu at least half an hour to make dumplings. Ning Weidong came out of the house and said to Bai Fengyu's door: "Sister Bai, I'm going to the bathhouse first and will be back soon." Bai Fengyu was busy kneading dough in the house and turned around to answer. Ning Weidong came out of the Moon Gate and met Zhou Kun who had just returned from outside. Zhou Kun bared his big teeth and walked back with a silly grin.

Ning Weidong said: "Hey, second brother, you are smiling, is it good?" Zhou Kun scratched his head and said, "Well, almost, almost~" Ning Weidong said, "I saw that girl just now. She's pretty." Zhou Kun said, "Not bad, not bad. That... brother, when I come back to do something, you and Brother Ning can come with me~" Ning Weidong smiled and thought that Zhou Kun was still the same, thinking about getting married as soon as the fate was decided. Ning Weidong was too lazy to worry about other people's affairs. He just said a few words and left. Coming out of the slum and heading south out of the alley, there is a state-owned bathhouse not far away across the main road. Ning Weidong was familiar with the route. Since he was waiting to go back to eat dumplings, he did not buy any bath towels. He just wanted to rinse his body and wash his hair. There were quite a lot of people in the bathhouse at this time, and the big pool was as packed as dumplings. Ning Weidong first took a shower, rubbed his armpits and groin, and washed his golden hoop. I was ready to go in the pool and take a dip when someone called out, "Hey, Ning Weidong?" Ning Weidong turned around and heard that the other party was a little uncertain. A middle-sized young man just came in from outside, made eye contact with Ning Weidong, and immediately smiled and said, "It's really you!" Then he came over in slippers and said, "Fuck, what do you look like? I almost didn't recognize you!" Ning Weidong quickly searched the original owner's memory in his mind. He was sure that he hadn't seen this person in the past six months since he traveled through time. Judging from his age and the way he spoke, he should be a classmate or something like that. Soon, Ning Weidong found the memory about this person. "When did you come back?" Ning Weidong patted the other person. The young man's name is Duan Ming. He went to the same middle school as Ning Weidong and was also one of Qi Jiazui's group. Later, he went to the countryside in the northwest and we lost contact. I didn't expect to meet you here today. Duan Mingdao: "Just came back last month." Ning Weidong was slightly surprised. As far as he could remember, Duan Ming left earlier than him, so he didn't expect him to come back just now. By this calculation, he stayed in the Northwest for four or five years, which is a relatively long time. The two were old acquaintances, and they became familiar with each other after chatting for a few sentences, especially in the bathhouse, where they were naked and had less to cover up, so they talked more relaxedly. The two of them soaked in the pool side by side, talking about the past when they had fought together outside, and they couldn't help but mention Qi Jiazui. Duan Ming said: "I only found out after I came back that Brother Qi was gone." Ning Weidong sighed and said, "Yeah, this is something no one expected." Duan Ming shook his head: "It's nothing unexpected. Now thinking about what we did in those years, this result is not surprising. Sometimes I am actually quite glad that I went to the countryside. If I had stayed in Beijing, I might have ended up like Brother Qi."

Ning Weidong glanced at Duan Ming, but he didn't expect that the other party had this awareness. But on second thought, I remembered that Duan Ming was the smarter one in their group. After studying and going through some hardships, his thinking was much more mature than before. Ning Weidong asked: "By the way, where are you now?" Duan Ming smiled bitterly and said, "Where else can I stay? I'll just stay at home. My batch is the last one. Almost everyone who can come back has followed the crowd. There is no place for us to stay." Ning Weidong also knows the current situation. Duan Ming asked: "By the way, where are you now?" Ning Weidong said: "I am luckier than you. I went to the countryside in Northeast China and came back two years ago. Now I am working in the Security Department of Red Star Factory~" Ning Weidong did not mention his position, there was no need to show off to everyone. Duan Mingdao: "I came back the year before last. The situation should have been more relaxed then. If I had known, I would have come back earlier." Ning Weidong understood what he meant and it seemed that he could come back earlier, but he didn't. Hearing Ning Weidong's question, Duan Ming smiled bitterly again and sighed: "Don't be afraid of you laughing at me. I claim to be a smart man, but this time I dug a hole and buried myself." Ning Weidong was intrigued: "What do you mean by that?" Duan Mingdao: "Let me tell you, the place where I went to the countryside, the Northwest, the conditions were extremely bad. I went there originally intending to stay there for two years and come back quickly. Who would have thought that in such a hellhole place I would actually meet a high-ranking student..." Ning Weidong was a little surprised after hearing Duan Ming's babble. He interrupted and said, "No, the high-ranking student you said is called Zhong Yuemin?" Duan Ming was slightly surprised and nodded, "Yes, there was another one who also went to Beijing, his name was Zheng Tong. I thought it was a rare opportunity to share hardships with him, so I had the chance to come back two years ago, but I gave it up to someone else. Who knew that grandson, with the help of his family connections, went to join the army, and I stayed like a fool for two more years." Ning Weidong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. However, he was not too surprised to see Zhong Yuemin appear. After all, there was Li Yuanchao in front of him, and Qin Huairu's whole family. Duan Ming asked: "Why, do you know this person?" Ning Weidong shook his head: "I don't really know him, but I've heard of him." Duan Ming couldn't help but look at Ning Weidong. Logically speaking, people like them who lived in the old city, the so-called hutong youths, and people like Zhong Yuemin who came from a compound were completely different people, and it was difficult to establish a relationship with them. Even in the past few years, both sides played their own games and rarely got together. Once they got together, there was bound to be a fight. The two of them chatted back and forth. Ning Weidong was thinking about Bai Fengyu making dumplings at home, so he didn't stay in the garden for long. When he was almost done washing, he offered to leave first. Duan Ming said: "Don't worry, we just met each other so easily, wait for me for a while, let's find a place to have a drink." Ning Weidong said: "Not today, my family is waiting for you~ Anyway, you are back, we will have many opportunities in the future, I will treat you then." Duan Ming didn't get angry for no reason. After all, they haven't seen each other for several years, and they are no longer the carefree students they used to be. Coming out of the bathhouse, Ning Weidong was holding the bath basket, still thinking about what Duan Ming had just said. This world is really small. The original owner’s connections can actually connect with Zhong Yuemin.

Ning Weidong had no interest in Zhong Yuemin. This person was too casual, looked cool and desirable. But it was a pity that it was too tiring to be with such a person, whether as a relative or a friend. His casualness and unrestrainedness are based on many foundations. Only with such foundations can he spend money recklessly. On the contrary, several friends around Zhong Yuemin all have good connections, especially Zhou Xiaobai and Yuan Jun. The backgrounds of these two people are very powerful, not much inferior to Li Yuanchao's. It would be nice if there was a chance to get to know each other. Thinking about it, Ning Weidong returned to the slum. It’s almost seven o’clock in the summer and it’s not completely dark yet. Ning Weidong walked into the Moon Gate and greeted a few neighbors. When I got to the door of Bai's house, I asked, "Sister Bai, are the dumplings ready?" Thanks to the relationship he had established with Bai Fengqin before, Ning Weidong now interacts more casually with the two sisters of the Bai family. Ning Weidong had helped them before, so it was normal for the sisters Bai Fengyu and Bai Fengqin to give something in return. Bai Fengyu responded from inside the house: "The water is boiling, I'll give it to you right away." Ning Weidong knew that Bai Fengyu was waiting for him specially. In fact, he told the two sisters to eat first before he left, but it was probably of no use. Sure enough, a few minutes later, Bai Fengyu brought a large plate of hot boiled dumplings to Ning Weidong's room, put it on the table and said, "Try it while it's hot. Is it delicious?" Ning Weidong smiled: "It must be delicious. There is a saying that goes, nothing tastes better than dumplings, and it is fun..." Bai Fengyu blushed, rolled her eyes, and whispered, "What nonsense! Eat your food, I'm going back now." Ning Weidong picked up the chopsticks and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? I have something to tell you." Bai Fengyu sat down next to him suspiciously: "What's the matter?" Ning Weidong picked up a dumpling with chopsticks, calmly and without dipping it in vinegar, just ate it plain. Chives, eggs, and some dried shrimps make up the three-fresh filling. It’s neither salty nor bland, and the taste is just right. Especially when it’s just out of the pot and still steaming. Although some experts in later generations said that it is not good to eat food while it is hot, as it is easy to get various diseases. But there’s no denying that dumplings taste better when eaten hot than when they’re cold. Ning Weidong ate one before saying, "Fengqin has passed the exam this time. When she goes to college, you will be left alone. What do you think?" Bai Fengyu didn't know what Ning Weidong meant by asking this question, so she said carefully: "What can I think? I'll just live my life the same way as now..." At this point, Bai Fengyu pursed her lips and whispered, "Well... when you get married, I know what to do and I will definitely not make it difficult for you." "Who told you this~" Ning Weidong didn't expect her to think wrongly, so he raised his hand and slapped Bai Fengyu's big butt: "What's the matter, an old cow eating young grass, you want to run away after eating it all?"

Ning Weidong spoke loudly. Bai Fengyu blushed, and she looked out the window with a guilty conscience, explaining, "That's not what I meant. I... I'm not afraid of you..." "You don't need to be afraid of me. You are my woman..." Ning Weidong stretched out his chopsticks to pick up another dumpling and said, "Forget it. I don't need to ask you. Just listen to my arrangements." (End of this chapter)
