Lin Wufeng turned his head. "Teacher Zhuang, you were also born in 1944, right?"
Zhuang Chaoying was enjoying a relaxing soak, his face rosy and his pores open. Hearing Lin Gong's words, he slowly opened his eyes and turned his head. "Yes, Ah Ling and I were both born in 1944."
Lin Wufeng nodded. "We're about the same age. Teacher Zhuang, I've noticed something. How come you and Sister Ling don't look old at all? You look like you're just over thirty. And look at me, although I feel young in my heart, I really feel like I'm not up to the task."
Zhuang Chaoying sat in the pool, gently rubbing her chest with her hands. She hadn't soaked through yet and planned to soak a little longer.
"Mr. Lin, don't say that. You look great. You and Song Ying look quite well-matched. You don't look old at all; you look very young."
“Teacher Zhuang, you see, aren’t you just saying I’m old?”
As he spoke, he put his hand on Zhuang Chaoying's shoulder.
Zhuang Chaoying was startled by this sudden movement and stood up reflexively.
"Teacher Zhuang, what are you doing? Please sit down."
Seeing this, Lin Wufeng quickly grabbed his arm and, smiling, pulled him back into the hot spring.
Zhuang Chaoying's body stiffened slightly. He was still not used to such casual little gestures between men. Although he knew that Engineer Lin had no ill intentions, he still instinctively felt some resistance.
However, in this warm and comfortable atmosphere, he gradually relaxed and chatted casually with Lin Wufeng about everyday things.
When men get together, they usually talk about their wives and children, or national affairs, or just idle gossip.
Don't assume that men don't gossip. When men get together, they talk about all sorts of trivial family matters, even more so than women!
He had always thought that only women liked to gossip, but after he came here, he realized that men do it too!
The two soaked in the hot tub for a while longer. Gradually, Lin Wufeng felt his head getting heavy. He knew that if he stayed in the hot tub any longer, he might faint in the warm water.
So he quickly stood up. "Teacher Zhuang, you've soaked long enough, you can start scrubbing my back now!"
Zhuang Chaoying also felt very comfortable after soaking in the water, and her muscles became soft. So she got up with Lin Wufeng.
The two arrived at the bath area, where the bath attendant skillfully used his hands to push, press, and rub, removing the dirt from their bodies.
After fiddling around for a while, Zhuang Chaoying and Lin Wufeng both felt refreshed.
Then they went to the showerhead, lathered themselves with soap, and rinsed off.
The two came to the hall.
The hall was neatly arranged with deck chairs, and they lay down side by side, one on each side.
They each covered their stomachs with towels.
Lin Wufeng picked up the teapot next to him and refilled Zhuang Chaoying's cup with tea.
Zhuang Chaoying picked up her teacup, took a small sip, and felt the scalding tea slide down her throat, warming her heart.
Immediately afterwards, a surge of heat rose from within, and sweat began to pour out again. "Wow, that feels great!"
Zhuang Chaoying put down her teacup, her face serious. "Engineer Lin, in my opinion, you made the right decision to resign from the state-owned factory. State-owned factories are conservative in their thinking, often stuck in their ways and stagnant. I think that township enterprises will eventually surpass those large factories. Besides, with your technical skills, research and design abilities, you wouldn't have been able to fully utilize your talents in a state-owned factory."
Lin Wufeng listened, gently put down his teacup, and smiled. "Teacher Zhuang, you're flattering me. But I also think resigning was the right choice. At least in my current factory, I can boldly innovate according to my own ideas, and I feel like I'm living a more valuable life. And, most importantly, I'm earning much more than before!"
As he finished speaking, he couldn't help but laugh out loud. With more money, Song Ying wouldn't have to work so hard knitting sweaters anymore. She could buy whatever she wanted to wear or accessorize. Seeing his wife and children happy made him happy too.
He liked Song Ying to dress neatly and beautifully, because it made him feel proud and honored to take her out!
"Mr. Lin, this electric kettle is sure to sell like hotcakes. With its convenience and practicality, we're sure to make a fortune!"
Hearing this, Lin Wufeng was also stirred up, and he raised his teacup. "Teacher Zhuang, let's drink to making big money!"
"Cheers!" Zhuang Chaoying also raised her teacup and clinked it against Lin Wufeng's.
The two chatted and drank tea until one o'clock.
If it weren't for her stomach growling with hunger, Zhuang Chaoying felt she could have stayed comfortably in that recliner for a while longer.
They got dressed and went outside.
The sun was still blazing hot as Zhuang Chaoying pushed her bicycle. "Engineer Lin, let's go get some noodles, it's on me."
"Okay, let's go to Songhelou Restaurant, their chicken leg noodles are pretty good!"
The two then rode towards Songhelou.
Before long, they arrived at Songhelou and ordered two servings of their signature chicken leg noodles.
Soon, steaming hot noodles were served.
After finishing their noodles, the two went to a state-run store and bought some vegetables and dried tofu before heading home.
Zhuang Chaoying returned to the courtyard and, as soon as she entered, she heard Tu Nan lecturing.
Following Engineer Lin into the room, we saw Xiaoting and Dongzhe sitting at the table, listening to Tu Nan talk about the first year of high school.
Tu Nan stood behind them and explained in detail.
Zhuang Chaoying entered Dongzhe's room. "Xiaoting, are you studying? Have you all eaten?"
Xiaoting looked up, a sweet smile on her face, and nodded. "I ate it. My brother made cold noodles with kimchi. It was so delicious!"
Zhuang Chaoying patted Xiaoting's head. "That's good. Dad will go back and lie down for a while. You two continue studying."
After saying that, he turned and went back to his room.
Upon entering the room, Zhuang Chaoying planned to find a clean pair of underwear and a vest in the closet to change into.
As he rummaged through the items, suddenly, Ah Ling's underwear fell out.
He bent down to pick it up and examined it carefully in his hand.
The underwear was thin, without any padding or elasticity, and its design was simple and plain, quite different from the ones he had worn before. It also looked rather old, with a slightly grayish color and holes in the straps.
He then looked through Ah Ling's other clothes and found that most of them were like that; although they were washed clean, they were all quite old.
Zhuang Chaoying took her clothes, walked to the backyard, went into the bathroom, took off her sweat-stained clothes, and changed into clean and refreshing underwear and vest.
After changing her clothes, Zhuang Chaoying returned to the room and lay down on the bed.
