After the wedding banquet, the crowd dispersed and Zhan Aiping took the half-drunk Gu Sheng back to her residence. After all, it was a marriage and even if it was just for show, there had to be a "wedding night".
She sent Zhan Aijia and her daughter to live in a guesthouse, and decorated her own house a little, pasting red wedding characters on it, so that it at least looked like a "new house".
Many young men and women in Shanghai get married in a small room of eight or nine square meters, or three generations of a family live in a small house of dozens of square meters. Her house is considered "large" if only two people live in it.
When Zhan Aiping dragged Gu Sheng into the house, she felt like she was bringing a "new bride" home.
Gu Sheng was dazed and not quite sober, and Zhan Aiping was not much better. Although she was not drunk, she was "slightly tipsy". Her body was light and she felt dizzy when she walked, as if she was walking on cotton.
They packed up the remaining wine and took it back with them.
Zhan Aiping put down the wine hanging on Gu Sheng's body. Let alone a few bottles of wine, carrying hundreds of pounds of weight was easy for him. Zhan Aiping asked him to sit on a chair and went to pour water herself.
Gu Sheng took a quick glance and said, "It's really small."
Zhan Aiping responded with a light snort.
Gu Sheng leaned his hands on the table, frowned and rubbed his eyebrows. Zhan Aiping pushed a cup of hot water to him. Gu Sheng sniffed it and looked particularly disgusted, staring at the unfinished bottle of Wuliangye on the table.
Zhan Aiping took a sip of water and felt it was tasteless, and she felt a little itchy.
She was not an alcoholic and did not drink often. As she got older, she took better care of her body and only drank some health-preserving wine occasionally. She had only experienced being drunk a few times when she was young.
Drinking is just like eating melon seeds. Either you don’t drink, or you can’t stop.
Since we are all young now, let’s indulge ourselves. Zhan Aiping suggested, “Brother, why don’t we continue drinking?”
Gu Sheng opened his eyes: "Drink!"
Zhan Aiping went to get some peanuts and other snacks, and the two of them started drinking again, arm in arm with each other. Zhan Aiping said to him, "We female soldiers are also very generous, and there are many who can drink." Gu Sheng said, "No one can drink more than me."
They played rock-paper-scissors, drank and bet on peanuts. They almost became sworn brothers. They took two or three chopsticks to pretend to be incense, cut two oranges and swore an oath of blood. There was no Guan Gong statue, so Zhan Aiping drew a Pikachu. Gu Sheng said the hedgehog was too ugly, so he drew a monkey instead...
They drank so much that they passed out. Gu Sheng didn't sleep in bed at night, but just lay on the floor. Zhan Aiping was too lazy to climb onto the bed, so she pulled off the quilt and slept on the floor.
Even though he had a hangover, Gu Sheng, who was used to getting up early, still opened his eyes at a fixed time. The sky was grey and not yet light. He moved and not only did he have a headache, but other parts of his body also felt uncomfortable. A "dead fish" was pressing on him, with messy hair on his neck, and the smell of alcohol and the faint scent of hair oil intertwined.
Gu Sheng took a breath and said, "Hiss..."
He has a stiff neck.
He raised his hand and rummaged around, and pulled out a book with the words "Chinese Herbal Medicine Encyclopedia" on it? ? He slept on this thing yesterday.
No wonder it felt so uncomfortable. Gu Sheng touched it casually and found that there were several books under him. It was warm to sleep on these books, but his whole body was painful.
The person lying on top of him hadn't woken up yet, making muffled humming sounds, pulling at the quilt and continuing to lean into his arms.
"Zhan Aiping, wake up."
The sleeping man raised his hand and covered his mouth accurately, "Stop making noise."
"If you keep arguing, I'll let you know what a devil instructor is."
Gu Sheng's face darkened: "If you don't get up, I'll let you know what a devilish battalion commander is."
Zhan Aiping sat up, wrapped in a quilt, sleepy, and leaned on his shoulder.
"Good brother, let me sleep a little longer."
Gu Sheng gritted his teeth: "..." Who is your good brother
Zhan Aiping's hair had long been disheveled from sleeping, covering her face. Gu Sheng could only see her fair chin under the black hair, and a small mole next to her collarbone.
Gu Sheng was silent for a moment, thinking to himself, so this is what a woman looks like when she wakes up early in the morning
He raised his hand and pulled Zhan Aiping's long hair.
Because he couldn't control the strength, he just pulled out three hairs. Gu Sheng finally realized that his buddy's "hair" was real.
Zhan Aiping felt pain, opened her eyes and slapped him on the face. What a shameless bastard! How could he pull someone's hair so early in the morning
Now she was no longer sleepy. Zhan Aiping yawned. She was a little disgusted by the smell on her body, so she went to boil some hot water, washed her hair and took a shower. She came back and sat in the room, lit the charcoal basin, and wiped her hair while wearing a sweater.
Gu Sheng also took a combat shower. His body was stiff, so he took a cold shower and changed into a large-sized military uniform that Zhan Aiping threw to him. It was Zhan Aiping's old military uniform. It was too big for her and too small for Gu Sheng. It was originally a loose shirt, but now it was too tight on him, revealing the outline of his muscles.
Zhan Aiping looked at him and laughed, feeling that she had really brought back a new wife, who was even wearing her clothes.
Gu Sheng’s face turned completely dark.
He couldn't stand it anymore, so he took the basin to wash clothes, intending to quickly dry his clothes and put them on. Zhan Aiping threw her changed clothes to him and said, "Brother, please help wash them. My hair is not dry yet and it's cold outside."
With that she slipped back to warm herself by the fire.
Gu Sheng turned on the faucet to wash clothes, and the more he washed, the more he felt something was wrong: "..."
Didn't she do all the housework
Why do I do the laundry
She said her hair wasn't dry yet.
Gu Sheng finished washing the clothes and went upstairs. Zhan Aiping's hair was not dry yet, so she wiped it slowly with a white towel. She also applied hair oil. There was a scent of osmanthus in the air.
Gu Sheng rubbed his nose, spread out the wrung-out clothes, and put them aside to dry. He said, "It's easier to cut them short."
"Don't have long hair anymore."
As a genuine "old Chinese medicine practitioner", Zhan Aiping used to take good care of her hair. She often massaged acupoints and paid attention to maintenance. She had very few white hairs and had black hair until she was old.
Someone said she was an old witch and encouraged her to dye her hair white, saying that a childlike face and white hair would better fit the image of an "old Chinese medicine practitioner."
"Look at Xiao Zhou from the Chinese Medicine Hospital. He is only in his forties, but his hair is completely white. He used to dye his hair a few years ago, but now he doesn't dye it anymore. He goes to see patients with a head full of white hair. He has almost become the face of the hospital. When patients see him, they all think he has superb medical skills."
"You old witch, when people see you, they think you are an old quack."
"What old quack? Can't people think of me as an elegant and beautiful female Chinese medicine practitioner?"
"You are still elegant and beautiful. Just accept your age. You can only attract a few stinky old men."
—Old vinegar essence.
Zhan Aiping threw the hot steamed buns to Gu Sheng, who caught them accurately. The two sat together to eat the leftover steamed buns, which they packed back from the restaurant yesterday and could last for several days.
Gu Sheng took a few bites and finally couldn't help it. He picked up a coat and put it on Zhan Aiping's shoulders and asked her to put it on.
Zhan Aiping was wearing a slim-fitting mid-neck sweater with a white towel draped over her shoulders. The sweater fit her perfectly, outlining her curvaceous figure, especially when she was bending over to eat.
Zhan Aiping was speechless: "..."
She hugged her coat to her chest and continued eating.
Gu Sheng: "How can you get married if you are so unrefined?"
Zhan Aiping: "Good brother, isn't this marrying you?"
Gu Sheng: “…”
There was porridge cooking in the pot. Zhan Aiping ate the steamed buns slowly and chewed them carefully, intending to finish drinking the health-preserving porridge before taking any action. Gu Sheng finished eating early. He stood up and twisted his neck, then turned around to see the mess on the floor.
Last night, the books were scattered all over the floor. He frowned and walked over to pick up one or two books, including Shennong's Herbal Classic, Huangdi's Classic of Internal Medicine, Family Chinese Medicine Prescriptions, and Moxibustion Instructions.
Gu Sheng picked them all up and placed them on the bookshelf. He also pulled the sheets straight for her and folded the quilt into neat pieces.
Zhan Aiping's house is very simple, with no furniture or decorations. All you need to do is use a feather duster to clean the dust.
Gu Sheng picked up a feather duster and wiped the bookshelf.
Zhan Aiping blew on the hot porridge, then took a small sip.
Gu Sheng stood with his hands on his hips, feeling something was wrong.
He turned his head and stared at Zhan Aiping: "...?"
Zhan Aiping smiled at him.
Gu Sheng: "... Remember to do the housework in the future."
Zhan Aiping nodded: "I'll do it."
As for when and how they want to do it, she has the final say.
It was embarrassing for someone to help her clean the house. Zhan Aiping shook his clothes for him and said, "Gu Sheng, let me help you dry your clothes."
Gu Sheng gritted his teeth: “…” Have some shame.
It was clearly he who washed the clothes and dried them by the fire.
Zhan Aiping diligently dressed him, buttoning his clothes one by one. As she did so, she said, "I always wanted to be a virtuous wife."
"Really, I just want to be a good wife."
Gu Sheng simply rolled his eyes.
I'd be foolish to believe you.
"Have you ever heard of praise education? In the future, you should praise me for my virtue in front of others. I will be encouraged by it, and I will become more and more virtuous."
Gu Sheng said coldly: "I have only heard of caning education."
He is a man who follows his heart and cannot boast about it against his conscience.
Zhan Aiping: "...Brother, do you want to fight?"
"Don't call me brother anymore. You've already married me. It's hard to explain to others if they hear me calling you brother."
"Just call it a nickname. We grew up together, so we are good brothers."
After Gu Sheng changed his clothes, he didn't stay long. Zhan Aiping sent him downstairs and gave him a handful of chocolate for him to eat on the way.
Gu Sheng grabbed the chocolate he bought and walked back expressionlessly.
Wang Youli was very surprised when he saw him: "You came back so soon?"
Wasn’t yesterday our wedding night
