Wang An lay on the kang, gazing at the milky-white "snow-peaks" before his eyes. They fluttered up and down and occasionally swayed from side to side, leaving him utterly entranced!
From start to finish, no matter how much noise Lu Yueyue and Wang An made, and no matter how loud Lu Yueyue's singing became!
Niu Dali continued to snore, a faint smile hanging from the corner of his mouth, fast asleep! Who knew what kind of beautiful dream he was having!
He seemed completely indifferent to what was happening beside him, maintaining an attitude of total apathy!
Once finished, Lu Yueyue lay naked in Wang An's arms, recounting her longing to return to the city over the years. She told Wang An that her family in Shanghai had sent a total of three job acceptance letters over the past few years, but all of them had been blocked by Niu Yiqun!
Her family's connections simply couldn't reach as far as the Northeast, and local protectionism in various regions was very strict. Despite several attempts, her family couldn't obtain her original files from when she first went down to the countryside.
Without those original files, Lu Yueyue had no way to prove she was a resident of Shanghai, and thus no way to establish her household registration there!
Wang An truly couldn't understand or wrap his head around it—what on earth were the people at the Youth Office thinking? How did they dare ignore such a thing?
One had to realize that the influence of the educated youth had been quite significant the year before last. For such a sensitive issue, the Youth Office had actually ignored it!
Impressive! Fucking impressive!
Wang An knew that if a decade or so passed, a problem like Lu Yueyue's would be very easy to solve; this and that wouldn't even be necessary!
It was just that right now, everything was only beginning to open up, and nothing could be done! Mainly, many of the leaders had just returned to their posts from various farms and were walking on thin ice, trembling with fear!
Every single one of them was exceptionally honest and dutiful! They didn't dare interfere in anything unrelated to work or anything that violated regulations!
After they had flirted enough, the two of them dressed.
"I didn't expect someone with a reputation as bad as yours to be so reliable in getting things done," Lu Yueyue said in a coquettish voice, swaying her milky-white snow-peaks.
To be honest, Lu Yueyue's coquettishness was indeed quite captivating, because she wasn't pretending; it was that unique brand of coquettishness belonging to Shanghai women!
Although Mu Xueqing's looks and figure were invincible, she would never exhibit the kind of bone-deep charm that Lu Yueyue did!
And Shen Wei didn't act coquettish; she only occasionally acted spoiled! However, Shen Wei's chest was the largest among the three of them! Of course, Shen Wei was also the most obedient!
Hearing Lu Yueyue's flirtatious tone, Wang An's heart trembled, but he said seriously, "Speak to me properly, stop acting so slutty over there!"
Seeing Wang An's dead-serious expression and complete lack of romance, Lu Yueyue pouted and rolled her eyes at him. Her milky-white snow-peaks swayed left and right again as her body moved!
She muttered, "Hmph! A man with no sense of romance!"
Wang An ignored her and continued dressing himself. Mainly, he didn't dare respond to her, fearing that the clothes he had half-put on would be wasted!
Clothes were just like that: incredibly fast to take off, but genuinely slow to put on!
After dressing, Wang An gave Lu Yueyue's milky-white body two pats and said teasingly, "Hurry up and dress, stop dawdling. Why are you so sluggish just putting on clothes?"
"Hmph! I thought you might want to go another round!" Lu Yueyue said with a coquettish air of dissatisfaction.
"Give it a rest. If we went again, you'd have trouble walking in a bit! Why are you so showy!" Wang An said disdainfully.
After speaking, Wang An stopped paying attention to Lu Yueyue, who was speeding up her dressing, turned around, opened the door, and left!
Truthfully, Wang An was also feeling a bit unsatisfied, but there was still a Shen Wei who needed soothing!
Thus, after leaving Lu Yueyue's courtyard, Wang An headed toward Shen Wei's house.
Along the way, Wang An felt more and more like a pack mule, being pulled here and there to do whatever was needed!
Upon arriving at Shen Wei's house, a great battle was naturally unavoidable!
From the moment Wang An entered the room until the matter ended, he and Shen Wei did not exchange a single word; they were remarkably in sync!
However, Shen Wei couldn't help but break into a loud song!
Her voice was loud, melodious, and every note was perfectly on key!
Wang An listened in admiration; she was truly fragrant and delicious!
Afterward, Wang An handed the vanishing cream to Shen Wei. Shen Wei was instantly moved, nearly clinging to him!
It had to be said that in this era, the lethality of vanishing cream toward women was unparalleled!
This time, Wang An didn't leave immediately after dressing. Instead, he went to the east room to visit Shen Wei's mother-in-law and daughter!
Although Shen Wei's mother-in-law was paralyzed on the kang, her mind was very clear, and she didn't care in the slightest about the scandalous business between Wang An and her daughter-in-law!
She repeatedly invited Wang An to sit on the kang, her expression warm and happy! People of that age saw many things with an open mind and didn't mind her daughter-in-law doing this at all!
The one thing they understood best was that being able to keep the family alive and avoid being bullied was more important than anything else!
Shen Wei's daughter was called Lai-zi, four years old. This was the first time Wang An had seen her.
How to describe this child? She was like the little angels in the manga books Wang An had seen in his previous life! She radiated a sense of spiritual vitality!
Although her hair was a withered yellow due to malnutrition, her small face was fair and clean, kept very tidy by Shen Wei's care!
Her large eyes were watery, blinking as she looked at Wang An.
She seemed very curious: who was this shameless uncle? Why did he make Mother cry every time he came to bully her!
Wang An liked children very much, so he stepped forward and picked up little Lai-zi, teasing her affectionately.
Lai-zi was very lively. In a short while, she was coaxed into laughing by Wang An and became very close to him.
Wang An felt his pocket; he had a few hard candies and some malt sugar. These were leftovers from when he let the two younger sisters grab candy—because the sisters' hands were too small to take them all, Wang An had casually put the remaining pieces in his pocket.
Wang An unwrapped a piece of malt sugar and put it in Lai-zi's mouth, saying, "Lai-zi, be good. You can't swallow it; you can only suck on it. If you swallow it, you'll get a spanking on your bottom!"
At first, Lai-zi didn't know what it was and was curious, but once the candy entered her mouth, it melted quickly.
The sweetness of the sugar instantly made Lai-zi's eyes widen, and then, as if savoring a peerless delicacy, she gently closed her watery large eyes!
Wang An suddenly felt a pang of heartache. It was clear that at four years old, this was the first time Lai-zi had ever eaten candy!
Holding Lai-zi, Wang An pulled out all the remaining candies from his pocket and handed them to Shen Wei!
Clutching the candy, Shen Wei looked at Wang An with a face full of tenderness, as if she had already regarded him as the man of the house!
Shen Wei's mother-in-law watched this scene with a smile, but then, as if suddenly remembering something, she slowly lowered her head and let out a deep sigh, her eyes instantly filling with longing!
Wang An played with Lai-zi for a while longer, then casually said to Shen Wei, "Bring Lai-zi to my house sometime. Let her play with Xiao Mei and Xiao Li; it's better for the children. Keeping a child cooped up in the house all day isn't right!"
Hearing this, Shen Wei gave an "mm" and nodded happily!
Wang An stayed at Shen Wei's house for a bit longer before getting up to leave. As he left, Lai-zi was full of reluctance, seemingly unwilling to let this shameless uncle go!
Thanks to 'Sorrowful Book Fan' for the tip, thank you!
