Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 86 Little White Man

After looking around the dormitory, General Manager Zhao said, "Good, you've managed it well. Little Li Na told me you did the right thing. If they don't listen, they have to be disciplined. Look how nice this is, clean and comfortable to live in. Why is there a girl here? Are you here to study too?" General Manager Zhao suddenly saw Kong Lao Liu's wife lying there, paused for a moment, and asked her.

Kong Laoliu's daughter-in-law remained silent. Kong Laoliu stood up and said, "My wife came with me. I'm here to take the exam."

Mr. Zhao asked, "Where are you from?"

Confucius said, "I am carrying silver in my cup."

Mr. Zhao nodded, then looked at Kong Laoliu's wife, who had covered her face with a blanket, and said, "It's fine to stay here, but don't do anything else. Just stay here quietly. If you keep making noise in the middle of the night, let me tell you, if all these men in the house get really into it and do something to your wife, don't come looking for me. I won't care."

Kong Laoliu scratched his head and said, "It's alright, it can't be."

Several people had already lifted Principal Li up and helped him to the door. General Manager Zhao looked at Kong Laoliu, then at his wife, and walked out, saying, "You've got some nerve, daring to bring your wife here to live. You'll regret it. Don't come looking for me if anything happens."

A group of people helped the limp Principal Li to a car parked downstairs. General Manager Zhao got in, rolled down the window, and said to Xiao Wei, "I remember you don't live here, do you?"

Xiao Wei said, "I'm doing an internship now, and my wife is living at the school too, so I'm just staying here by myself for a few days."

Mr. Zhao said, "It's alright, let them stay. But let me tell you, keep a close eye on the place. You know, when you bring your wife over, make sure she stays there and doesn't cause any trouble."

Xiao Wei nodded, and Boss Zhao said, "Alright, go upstairs and go to sleep." He rolled up the car window, and the car slowly drove away. Xiao Wei and the others went into the building. Yang Tiebin, who had been silent all along, suddenly said, "That old man is pretty ruthless. He can say anything directly. I think Kong Laoliu couldn't respond and pretended not to hear clearly."

Several people laughed, and Xia Maosheng said, "Anyway, I could never do such a thing. It's pretty weird."

Li Guangzhao said, "I've heard it several times in the middle of the night."

Xia Maosheng turned to look at him and said, "Really? I've never heard of that before?"

Li Guangzhao said, "You sleep like a log. You wouldn't wake up even if there was thunder, let alone this little noise. What could you possibly hear?"

Yang Tiebin laughed and said, "I didn't hear anything either, and I didn't pay attention. Old Li, didn't you have any thoughts about what was going on?"

Li Guangzhao said, "It's not like I don't have a girlfriend, what am I thinking? It's those guys next to Confucius who are suffering, they're all sixteen or seventeen and don't have girlfriends, I don't know how they're getting through it."

After greeting the gatekeeper, the group went upstairs and returned to their dormitory.

The dormitory had quieted down by now. In those days, nightlife was not popular. As the core of heavy industry in the country, the Northeast was significantly lagging behind in information and commerce. Even in Fengtian, which was one of the top three regions in the country at that time, ordinary people did not have the awareness of partying every night. So by nine or ten o'clock at night, the streets were already empty, and it was rare to see any lights on in the residential areas.

Except for two people still standing on the ground in their underwear drying their smelly socks, everyone else had crawled into bed, including Kong Laoliu, who had brought his wife with him when he came out to take the exam. He was now in bed, lying on his pillow and bragging to the person in the opposite bunk. His wife looked very happy and snuggled up to him, almost squeezing half of her body into Kong Laoliu's body.

Kong Laoliu grinned, his gold teeth gleaming, a cigarette in his hand, an ashtray on the floor in front of him, and he was babbling on and on, his left leg rubbing against his wife's buttocks inside the blankets.

Xiao Wei took Xia Maosheng's basin to wash up, while Xia Maosheng took Li Guangzhao's basin. Li Guangzhao glanced at Yang Tiebin, then took off his shoes, climbed onto the kang (heated brick bed), and lay down. Yang Tiebin laughed and took the basin, then left the dormitory.

After the three of them finished washing up, they returned to their dorm room shivering and crawled into bed. Li Guangzhao lay on his pillow with a smug look on his face and exclaimed, "Ah, it's so warm in bed! I can barely keep my underwear on."

Xia Maosheng jumped onto the top bunk and quickly crawled into bed, saying, "You're just getting worked up over Lao Liu's wife. Lao Liu, be careful of this guy, he might cause trouble. Keep your noise down tonight, don't provoke him. If he goes crazy, we won't be able to stop him."

Kong Laoliu reached into the ashtray, stubbed out his cigarette, and laughed heartily. His wife, watching them, said, "Does he even have the guts? Come here, I'll cuddle you to sleep." The whole dormitory burst into laughter, joining in the commotion: "Hey, Old Li, that's so disrespectful! Go on, go on!"

Someone from above said, "You guys, you get all worked up just looking at other guys with their wives. If you're so capable, why don't you get one yourselves? You can't even sleep peacefully. If you have that kind of energy, sing us a song."

Kong Laoliu said, "My daughter-in-law sings beautifully. Wife, come on, sing one for them to hear."

His young wife coughed, cleared her throat, and slowly began to sing: "Round, round, the moon's face; flat, flat, the bookmark of time; sweet, sweet, your smile; is it time to part ways...?"

To be honest, he sang quite well, and he even managed to pull the big truck that was gradually heading straight for the kindergarten back from inside the room.

When the song ended, everyone applauded, and the guy upstairs said, "Who's next?" This time, Xiao Wei recognized him; it was none other than Lord Wang Zhilong.

No one responded, so Wang Zhilong said, "Yang Changjiu, why don't you give us one? Aren't you supposed to be a good singer?"

Yang Changjiu said from the other corner, "I'm not very good at singing."

Wang Zhilong said, "That song you sang the other day was really good, sing it now."

Yang Changjiu said, "Then don't laugh at me. Hmm, cough, hmm. Little cabbage, yellow in the field, two or three years old, lost its mother, lived well with its father, only afraid that its father would marry a stepmother, and after three and a half years, the stepmother would give birth to a younger brother who is better than me, the younger brother eats rice while I eat chaff..."

His voice was a bit high-pitched, which made the song sound mournful. After he finished singing, there was no sound in the room for a long time. Wang Zhilong sighed and said slowly from above, "Well, what a fine thing, you've made it so desolate. It feels like the room has gotten a little colder."

Xia Maosheng suddenly said, "Do you know why the three of us ran back just now?"

Without waiting for anyone to answer, he continued, "We were washing up in the toilet when we saw a little white guy sitting on the toilet window, smiling at us. We didn't dare to make a sound and just pretended we didn't see him and ran back. Be careful when you go to the toilet later."

Yang Tiebin said, "You saw it too? I thought you guys didn't see it, so I didn't dare to say anything."

Xiao Wei said, "I thought I was seeing things. Is it really there? Is it sitting there naked, staring at us without moving?"

Just then, the door slammed shut, and Kong Laoliu's young wife screamed "Ah!" Everyone in the room was startled, even the three who were making up the story couldn't help but look towards the door.
