Chapter 5 Chapter 05

"Don't call if you have nothing to do. It made him suspicious, and I was very nervous. Didn't we agree to make a phone call every week?" Wan Jiang said with Hong Minding's familiar expression.He is most familiar with her expression, that is, she has a little temper or some minor illness. "Jiuhua said you cut your hair." Hong Min said. "What happened to the haircut? It's not an operation, why do you have to call to ask?" She knew that from what he said, she was actually willing to take risks; she would take any kind of risk, as long as she could hear him gasp , laughter, a few clichéd words.Hong Min asked if the "old man" asked her to cut her hair.Wanjiang lied and said that her hair split too much and fell badly.In fact, Humphrey has said for several years that it is not appropriate for Wan Jiang to have straight and long hair at his age.Hong Min said, forget it, he must not let you grow long hair.

"Oh, you worked so hard to find an old woman and call in just to tell me about your hair?" Hong Min never kept the agreement, and if he could get a woman to help him, he would fool around Hanfri's sentry and call Wan Jiang to say something insignificant.He taught ballroom dancing in a nightclub run by Chinese people. There were a group of women in their sixties. If it wasn't Wan Jiang who answered the phone, they would pretend to be Wan Jiang's clients and book family dinners or receptions.Sometimes they lingered with Humphrey for a while, boasting sweetly about Mr. Liu's luck in marrying a clever, young and beautiful Mrs. Liu.Humphrey didn't realize that Hong Min was hiding behind these old women for so long, sneaked into his house many times, groped into his bedroom, and had private conversations with his beloved wife.

What he said was always plain and plain, but what he heard was very private.Only they can understand private houses, and only they can know its beauty. Like twenty years ago, their first kiss and touch.That is unspeakable, unspeakable beauty.When Wan Jiang and Hong Min got married, the same sentence was read in many people's eyes: it's so cheap, it's so cheap.The dormitory of the song and dance troupe is a five-story building. In August of that year, a beautiful curtain appeared on the fifth floor, with three-color stripes of light red, light blue and light yellow, flowing like water, making people look like, use such a curtain. It is really possible to make curtains with thin muslin silk.At that time, it was courage and excellence, and the rest was shamelessness—to show the very deep and private things.So someone asked: Whose house is that on the fifth floor?The person who answered said: You don't even know this?Xu Wanjiang lives there.If the person who is asked has had some affection for Xu Wanjiang in the dark off the stage, romantic or obscene, then he will say: Oh, her.At that time, the entire Ministry of Military Affairs changed jobs, and the men who took off their uniforms thought that being a soldier was a loss, and they never made men comfortable.So when they said "Oh, she", there was some vulgar taste on their faces: If I had known that she was not so valuable, I should have had my share.People thought that marrying Xu Wanjiang would be easy. Hong Min went up from the boys' dormitory on the third floor to the fifth floor. After discussing with Wanjiang's two girlfriends, he separated the girls' dormitory into a bridal chamber with sheets. .The two girlfriends couldn't find anything wrong with the newlyweds: on the side of the sheets, their planks didn't "squeak" and their mattresses didn't "beep". There was no sound of the hook, not even the sound of tearing toilet paper and pouring water for bathing, and they became a loving couple. All the banners were a new curtain and a paper double happiness on the door.

Hong Min still got up at five o'clock in the morning and was the first one to enter the practice room.Wan Jiang still got up at 8:50 and was the last one to enter the practice room.Hong Min is still the hardest-working actor, and Wan Jiang is still the least diligent protagonist. Half a year later, the two girls who shared the room with Wan Jiang moved out, and half of the bridal chamber became the whole. The pregnant Wanjiang finally didn't have to go to the practice room.She often appears in the kitchen of the big cafeteria, helping to knead dumplings and buns.People will know Xu Wanjiang's handicraft if they eat dumplings or steamed stuffed buns that are particularly exquisite in appearance and have large fillings.Later, people found that the flavor of the dishes had changed, became delicate and elegant, and everyone had the illusion that every day was a small restaurant, so they went to thank the potbellied Wan Jiang.She smiled and said: Is there any way to mud?I want to eat it myself, but I have no place to do it.I don't know how she flattered several professional cooks so well, letting them help her, chop vegetables and put seasonings according to her mind.She was not as lazy as she was when she was dancing. She stood by the stove for several hours, her feet were swollen greatly, and Hong Min carried her up to the fifth floor.Meeting someone on the stairs, Wan Jiang pointed to Hong Min with a smile: He is doing lifts.

Jiuhua was two years old and was taken by a Sichuan mother-in-law.This mother-in-law was injured in a big car of the song and dance troupe, and she was laid off in Beijing. After investigation, she was indeed alone, and she came to Beijing to sue her dead wife.The Sichuan mother-in-law then became a mobile nursery for each household on the five floors, so that she also had a house, and every family lived in her own home. This summer night, the Sichuan mother-in-law knocked up Tuanzhang Ma and said that Hong Min and Wan Jiang were missing.Head Ma said to her: If Hong Min goes missing with another woman, he will report it later.

A few days later, she went to head Ma again and said, "These two didn't come back all night again."The deputy head said: As long as they don't disappear during the practice and performances, don't bother me. One night, Captain Ma woke up when the phone rang. It was the "security team" who asked him to identify someone.It is said that a man and a woman lurked after Beihai Park closed, found a place deep in a tree, lit four coils of mosquito coils, and the bed was a stack of "People's Daily". Head Ma claimed Hong Min and Xu Wanjiang. The retired old man and old lady of the "Security Team" firmly did not believe what Captain Ma said: How could they be a couple?Didn't you see how gluey it was when you were caught raped, you thought it was a couple who died in love!

In the jeep, Tuan Zhang sat in the front row, Hong Min and Wan Jiang sat in the back row.He asked them why.The two were silent for a while, then Hong Min said: I want to go.Wan Jiang immediately said: Nonsense, it was my idea.The deputy head said: drink, you know how to cover your comrades.I didn't pursue your responsibility.I just want to understand why you go there.The two fell silent again.The deputy group leader urged me several times, Hong Min said: We always go there, since we fell in love.The deputy head said: That's right, that's where people who are in love go.People who are in love can't do anything.What are you two trying to figure out?Have a family?Hong Min became angry: it's different at home.Captain Ma said, why is it different?Let you have a family, just to let you have a place to go!

Hong Min uttered another sound, but the sound was off-key as soon as it came out.Wan Jiang twisted his thigh. Head Ma shook his head in his heart, this couple is really well matched, they are both elementary school brains, the dancers are so miserable, look at the flowers, the teenagers, the minds are quasi-idiots.Thinking this way, he had a benevolent attitude towards the idiot junior.He said that he would not dare to go there again in the future, did you hear me?Hong Min asked: Why?The deputy head shouted: Nonsense.Hong Min also yelled: You can go if you are in a relationship, why are you not allowed to go?

Captain Ma was stunned after giving him a drink.After a few seconds, he said again: "Okay, okay, well said—you go, go; let them be arrested again, and I will lead you again. I will call you Tuanzhang Ma!" Regardless of how poisonous Wan Jiang's attack was, Hong Min didn't have much good meat left on his legs.He became even more angry: Why don't we go? Head Ma said: You go, I will punish you if you don't! Hong Min said: Why are married people not allowed to have a relationship? You don't get married until you're in love, isn't that true?Captain Ma twisted his face backwards.

no! Then tell me, what are you talking about? Captain Ma turned around at this moment, most of his face was facing the back seat.The man and woman in front of him are so handsome, it's really useless, the big thick-skinned buns can't be eaten by three bites. Hong Min, tell me, let me, an old man, understand. Hong Min looked at him squarely: Deputy head, if you don't understand now, you won't understand. The first batch of unit buildings of the song and dance troupe were completed, and Hong Min and Wan Jiang were not involved.They offended Captain Ma too thoroughly. The "Beihai incident" also made everyone look down on them, thinking that they are not a serious couple, but a dog and a woman.The second house split, six years later, separated Hong Min and Wan Jiang again.Wan Jiang went on strike and stopped playing the leading role.The leaders didn't let her take the lead, and took the opportunity to promote several new protagonists.

When the song and dance troupe lost money, it opened a restaurant and a fashion store.Wan Jiang hid back to her mother's house in Jiangsu and gave birth to Renren, who exceeded the quota. When she came back, she was assigned to a restaurant as a manager.At this time, the clerks, hair stylists, and clothing custodians in the regiment were all divided into one-bedroom or two-bedroom rooms. The beautiful curtains on the upper floor of the single dormitory were still beautiful on the fifth floor every night, the color faded a lot, and the texture Also aging.It was said that the last housing assignment was about to take place. Hong Min moved his bedding and camped outside the housing allocation office. He would go up and grab anyone who came out.People say that Hong Min has become a real bandit, and several times he caught big bricks and wanted to slap the head of the horse. It was Renren who made their hope of housing separation finally come to nothing.Someone in the regiment "mistakenly opened" Xu Wanjiang's letter and "misread" its contents.Inside the letter was a photo of a two-year-old girl, and on the back was a line of handwriting imitated by an adult: "Dad, Mom, Renren misses you." In this way, Wan Jiang and Hong Min stayed in the bridal chamber ten years ago forever.Hong Min recited a buttock of punishment, and he no longer has to go to the practice room to work hard.He became a buyer of a fashion store, and people saw him standing idle on the side of the road, his feet, shoulders, and neck moved slightly when the popular songs from the fashion store shook the sky.Others stopped dancing, but everything under the body couldn't be straightened out, and small dances emerged from the body from time to time.After a while, the fashion shop became lonely and deserted. Two salesgirls from Anhui said to Hong Min: Why don't you teach us how to dance tango. Wanjiang's restaurant was very lucky, and a year later it became a famous restaurant.She pays no attention to her days as a protagonist, busy experimenting with her new recipes every day.One day, a table of guests came to eat, and Wan Jiang was invited to the front hall covered in oily smoke.She saw that the person at the table was "Mr. Liu" among the stars.Someone at the table said: Mr. Liu asked, which cuisine does this belong to? Wan Jiang stopped asking, and said after a while: It's "Wan Jiang Cuisine". Mr. Liu spoke softly and answered her directly.He said that he can be regarded as a diner who is proficient in cuisines, but he has never heard of "Lanjiang Cuisine". Wan Jiang smiled foolishly and said: Of course I haven't heard of it, it's all done by me. Mr. Liu gave her a serious look, and his mature and prudent face was covered with a shy blush of a teenager.Before leaving, he gave Wanjiang a business card, which said he was a lawyer for a company in the United States.The next day he asked Wan Jiang to eat Japanese food at the Great Wall Hotel.Wan Jiang lived in his thirties and had never eaten Japanese food before, so he went there. After the meal, Mr. Liu gave her "a little something", which was a brocade box.He said that every female guest has it, and she doesn't have to feel sorry for it.After the banquet, Mr. Liu went back to the upstairs room.Only then did the female guests dare to open their brocade boxes.All the "little meanings" are really small. In the brocade box is a piece of Nanjing Yuhua stone, but in Wanjiang is a string of thin chains, with a white pearl hanging from it. Mr. Liu's relative winked at Wan Jiang repeatedly, intending to keep her.After seeing off the other guests, he led Wan Jiang to the cafe.For the next hour, he talked about Mr. Liu, how knowledgeable, how rich, and what a remarkable record of winning lawsuits.He didn't say that Mr. Liu wanted to choose a Mrs. Liu in China, which was not up to standard, but everyone could tell that Mr. Liu didn't have high requirements for choosing Mrs. Liu. In a daze, Wan Jiang got on the elevator with the relative.Mr. Liu was sitting on the balcony drinking alone, but there was another wine glass on the small table.The relative said he wanted to watch TV, so he stayed in the room and drew the curtains. Mr. Liu asked in the pale blue moonlight: "Is it okay?" Wan Jiang smiled foolishly.She didn't know what advice he was asking her for.At the same time her hand was pinched.She thought, her hands were once pinched by the old chiefs so much that Mr. Liu couldn't pinch her hands.Next, her hand was gently stroked.She thought again, the heads of the ministry had touched it in the same way, and they felt it, so Mr. Liu could do it anyway.Mr. Liu is also more respectful than the chiefs. He climbed up his arm without touching, and became a follower.Mr. Liu's gray head slowly drooped, and his lips fell on the back of Wan Jiang's hand. A coolness touched Wan Jiang's consciousness.Wan Jiang had never experienced such contact with the opposite sex.It seems that it is not a kiss, but the word itself.Wan Jiang was suddenly stunned: in her limited knowledge, the blond young prince lowered his neck and bowed his face like this, giving such a kiss to an equally noble woman. All the way Wan Jiang went home, she was thinking about the old prince who gave a light blue kiss on the back of her hand in the light blue moonlight.
