The next day.
Early in the morning.
He could vaguely hear people talking outside the window.
"Old Li, are you going to work?"
"Yeah."
"Who was playing the piano yesterday?"
"Yo, you heard it too?"
"Of course, I really enjoyed it."
"I heard it too. I still wanted more."
"Was it the piano teacher from the residential area who played it?"
"That can't be. The sound didn't seem to be coming from their house."
"That's strange. Is there a new tenant?"
"It might be a piano virtuoso."
In the house.
Zhang Ye woke up. He stretched and gave a big yawn. He even let out a long groan. He had a very comfortable night's sleep. He flipped over and subconsciously hugged to the side, but his hand ended up grabbing thin air. It was an empty blanket. There was no one there.
Eh?
Where's my wife?
When he looked at the bedroom again, it had been tidied up.
Qipao?
Wedding gown?
Dragon and phoenix gown?
Stockings?
High heels?
The clothes that he had thrown all over the floor last night were all gone. Even the clothes that Zhang Ye had casually thrown on the chair were now neatly folded and placed on the bedside table. It was obvious that Wu Zeqing had tidied them up. Old Wu was a very meticulous person and loved cleanliness. She would never leave things carelessly. Zhang Ye's personality was the exact opposite. This fellow was more casual and would casually throw his clothes away. He had never folded his blanket before.
There seemed to be some movement downstairs.
Zhang Ye smiled and put on his slippers to get out of bed. Then he went downstairs. The slippers were made of cotton and did not make any sound. He deliberately walked with his feet pressed against the floor. When he got downstairs, he saw Wu Zeqing busy in the open kitchen. She was dressed like a housewife with an apron around her neck. She was frying something.
Zhang Ye quietly went up and hugged her from behind.
Wu Zeqing turned around and said with a smile, "You scared me."
Zhang Ye said, "Why are you up so early?"
"Biological clock." Old Wu was frying a few slices of bacon. "Just in time for breakfast. We still have to go over to Mom's place after that."
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Alright."
Old Wu looked over. "Wait a moment."
"What?" Zhang Ye blinked.
"Don't move." Old Wu reached out and fiddled with his messy hair before saying, "Alright, go wash up first. Once you're done, we can start eating."
"Let me help you."
"No need."
"Aiya, I can't let you work all the time."
"Hehe, I don't need you. I can do it alone."
"Alright then, thank you for your hard work."
"Not at all."
Old Wu's virtuousness was impeccable.
After breakfast, the two of them drove back to Zhang Ye's parents' house.
…
Caishikou.
In the district.
The moment the car stopped, Zhang Ye saw his mother, who was chatting with the neighbors outside the unit. He saw his mother chattering away. He did not know what she was bragging about.
"Hey!"
"It's Little Ye's car!"
"Sister Cao, your son and daughter-in-law are back!"
Get off.
Zhang Ye called from afar, "Mom."
Wu Zeqing also smiled and said, "Mom."
His mother was overjoyed. "Hey, hey, you're here? Come over quickly, Zeqing. Let me introduce you. These are all our old neighbors. This is Auntie Sun, this is Auntie Cui, and this is Grandpa Xu — "After introducing them one by one, his mother faced Wu Zeqing and said in high spirits," This is my daughter-in-law! "The moment she said that, the atmosphere was clearly turning into his mother's posturing time.
The neighbors gathered around excitedly.
"Old Cao, your daughter-in-law is so beautiful."
"Yes, yes, she's even more beautiful than the photos in the news!"
"Our Little Ye is so lucky."
"Little Ye, you must treat your daughter-in-law better in the future."
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Of course."
Auntie Sun said, "We only saw your wedding on TV. You didn't even invite us, but you still owe us a meal."
Everyone jeered.
"That's right."
"You owe us a meal!"
"Little Ye, you're being mean."
Zhang Ye said in amusement, "Alright, everyone, you're picking on me now. Actually, yesterday's wedding was just a show for the media. They were all reporters, so it was a mess. That's why I didn't invite all of you. How about Old Wu and I treat all of you some other day? We're old neighbors, so we're all family. We won't invite outsiders. "
"Alright!"
"We'll be waiting!"
"You said it, Little Ye."
Zhang Ye said, "I said it."
His mother decided. "Then let's do it the day after tomorrow. Let's set up a few tables."
"No problem."
"We'll definitely be there to support you guys."
"Yes, yes, let's all come."
"Let's have some fun together."
Upstairs.
The three of them returned.
His father was reading the newspaper. When he heard the commotion, he looked up. "Zeqing, you're here?"
Wu Zeqing smiled. "Dad, are you reading the news?"
His father smiled and said, "Yes, your mom went out to buy the morning papers this morning. When she brought them back, I saw that the headlines were basically all about you and Little Ye. Oh yes, have you two had breakfast yet?"
Wu Zeqing said, "We came after breakfast."
His mother's smile never faltered. She said, "It was a tiring day yesterday, so I told you two to stay at home and rest well. There's no need to come over so early. Our family is more casual, so we don't have to be so particular."
Old Wu said, "Mom, it's fine."
Zhang Ye said, "But we still have to visit our relatives. We should have done it before we got married, but we were too busy before the wedding and didn't have the time. Now that we're married, we'll definitely have to visit them one by one. Grandma's house, Aunt's house, we'll have to visit all of them. Where are we going first in the afternoon? Grandma's house? "
His mother nodded and said, "Yes, let's go to your grandma's house first."
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Alright."
His father asked, "Aren't you two going on a honeymoon?"
Wu Zeqing smiled. "Little Ye and I won't be resting for too long either. We only have a few days of free time left, so the two of us decided not to go far."
They chatted for a while.
His father looked at his watch. "It's still early to noon. You two should get some more rest."
When Zhang Ye heard that, he yawned. "I woke up early too."
"Then go back to sleep." His mother said, "Zeqing, you should lie down for a while too."
Old Wu smiled and said, "Sure."
The door closed.
The two of them went back to their room.
Zhang Ye was really sleepy. He took off his shoes and crawled into bed. Although Old Wu's house was big and well-furnished, Zhang Ye still felt that his own bed was more comfortable. After all, he had slept in it for over 20 years.
Old Wu sat down. "Go ahead and sleep. I'll do some reading."
Zhang Ye asked, "Hey, you're not going to sleep?"
"I'm not sleepy."
"Just lie down for a while. I can't sleep without hugging you."
"Hur hur, alright then."
"Take off your clothes."
"I won't be taking off my long johns."
"Just take them off."
"What for?"
"Ahem, nothing."
"Weren't you sleepy?"
"Seeing you made me feel energetic again."
"Mom and Dad are outside."
"Then let's keep it down."
"Didn't we just finish doing it yesterday?"
"Yesterday was yesterday. Today is today."
"You."
“GOGOGO！”
"Then keep it down."
"Alright, I understand!"
On this morning, Zhang Ye took two lives!
