Chapter 15: Too Impulsive for a Young Man

Seeing her husband acting foolishly, Zhou Yuqin couldn’t help but laugh and say, “Then go ahead and call.”

“Call what?”

“Call me ‘Mom’ or ‘Grandma,’ either is fine.”

“Comrade Zhou Yuqin, you’re getting a bit presumptuous now. Are you asking for a lesson from me?”

Li Xiangdong moved closer, hugging her from behind, his hands not staying still, touching here and there.

Zhou Yuqin was holding their daughter with both hands and could only let his large hands roam over her body. When she couldn’t stand it anymore, she twisted her body to resist.

“Let go, I’ll get really angry if you keep this up!”

“Alright, alright, I won’t mess around. Don’t move, just let me hold you for a while.”

Li Xiangdong quietly held his wife, smelling the soapy fragrance on her. This embrace, after decades, brought an indescribable peace to his heart.

The two of them held each other without moving, which made Li Xiaozhu anxious. Her chubby little legs had just taken two steps before being pulled back.

She turned her head, staring at her parents with her big, dark eyes, revealing two tiny rice-like teeth as she shouted, “Mom… Dad… hit…”

Li Xiangdong chuckled and reached out to stroke his daughter’s small head. Her short hair was soft.

“I know, I know. When you’re asleep tonight, Daddy will ‘hit’ your mommy.”

Zhou Yuqin felt a little short of breath and said with a tremor in her voice, “Don’t talk nonsense.”

Her face was flushed, and even her neck and ears were bright red.

Seeing his wife’s reaction, Li Xiangdong thought to himself, it’s not that serious!

He had only said a few words. Was it necessary to be so shy?

But then he looked down and saw the small tent pitched below…

He was still young, a bit too impulsive!

“A mistake, a mistake.”

Li Xiangdong released his wife and walked to the side, silently chanting “Amitabha,” trying to find righteousness in his heart…

The more anxious he became, the less it cooperated, refusing to yield!

Bang! Bang!

Someone pounded on the main gate of the courtyard, followed by the creaking sound of the gate opening.

“Who is it?”

Hearing the noise, Mother Li walked out of the main house, her loud voice carrying directly into Li Xiangdong’s room.

Li Xiaojiang, who had opened the gate, replied, “Grandma, it’s my third uncle’s friends. They’re here to see him!”

Mother Li stopped and shouted towards the west wing room, “Third son, hurry up and come out, someone’s here for you!”

After saying that, she turned and went back into the house. Who knocks on a door like that?

No manners at all!

“Coming, coming.”

Li Xiangdong heard a few words from inside the room and quickly responded. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to go out immediately, it was just that it wasn’t convenient a moment ago!

He took off his clothes and shoes and changed back into his white undershirt, large shorts, and old cloth shoes.

Distracting himself really worked!

It could prolong the time when doing the deed, and calm the fire when not!

Before leaving, afraid that his wife would be angry, Li Xiangdong soothed her, “It should be my childhood friends who have come to visit. It wouldn’t be right if I didn’t go out, don’t you think?”

Although these friends of his, like him, had all been unsuccessful in their previous lives, their homes filled with trivial matters day in and day out.

But in the end, they had grown up together. The bond was there. If anyone was in trouble, the others would lend a hand, doing whatever they could.

In their previous lives, even when they were old men, they still often went out for drinks together. Their decades-long friendship had never been broken.

Now that he was reborn, he definitely wanted to continue to get along well with these friends and extend their friendship.

Although Zhou Yuqin was not very educated, as long as he discussed things with her and made it clear what he wanted to do, she was very reasonable.

She nodded, “Drink less when you go out.”

“Don’t worry, I know my limits.”

Li Xiangdong smiled. Although he wasn’t an alcoholic, it was unrealistic for a group of men to get together and not drink. They couldn’t just count the stars, could they?

He kissed his daughter on the cheek, “Be good and listen to your mom at home.”

After saying that, he was about to leave but was pulled back by Zhou Yuqin.

He understood…

He quickly leaned in for a kiss.

Zhou Yuqin put her hand over his mouth, “What are you thinking? None of that improper stuff. Leave the job introduction letter at home before you go out.”

So that’s what it was. Li Xiangdong had thought his wife was jealous of their daughter.

“You think I’m going to lose it?”

Li Xiangdong handed the introduction letter to his wife, then thought for a moment and put two packs of Daqianmen in his pocket.

He’d skip the Mudan. They were all friends, no need to smoke such good cigarettes.
