Stargirl's guide to life in the 70s

This year's New Year's celebration seems a little different from previous years for the elders, but it also seems to be the same, especially the two elders of the Yu family and Yu's father and mother.

Since Yu Hongcheng joined the army, he has only been back home for the Chinese New Year three or four times in all these years. The rest of the time he was either on a mission or was unable to take leave.

In previous years, when the two families gathered together for the New Year's Eve dinner, they would specially reserve a seat for Yu Hongcheng, as if this kid had returned with them.

But this year is different. Yu Hongcheng is not only married, but also has a child. Although I still can't go home for the New Year, I can at least get in touch with him by phone on New Year's Eve.

Coming back this year is impossible, but for everyone in the Yu family, just hearing each other's voices can soothe the longing of both parties.

Yu Jiang also felt that she was right to make the phone at this time!

Everyone at the dinner table was drinking or chatting, with the exception of Lu Beiyuan and Zhang Tong. Although they were also drinking, for some reason, they would always turn their heads away unnaturally when their eyes met.

If one time was a coincidence, then it happened several times in a row and was seen by Yu Jiang by chance.

If she didn't believe in their orientation, Yu Jiang would have started to suspect whether they were having an affair with He Zhile behind her back.

Lu Beiyuan noticed his wife's gaze and took a big gulp of wine as if to cover it up.

Ahem, it’s not that there was really anything going on between him and Zhang Tong, it’s just that what happened today was really not easy to let any third person, including Yu Jiang, know about it.

The story began today. When Lu Beiyuan was returning home from outside, he was suddenly stopped by Zhang Tong, who had been waiting for him for a long time, and was called to his home.

At that time, He Zhile was still at the He family and had not returned, and there was no one in Zhang Tong's little home.

"Brother Lu, wait a minute. I'll get you something."

As he spoke, Zhang Tong took out a tightly wrapped cloth bundle from the corner of the drawer. Judging from its shape, it looked like a book or something.

Lu Beiyuan opened the thing as soon as he got it. Zhang Tong didn't even have time to stop him before he saw the thing he had wrapped so well being taken out.

It was a somewhat old book without any cover.

"What kind of book is this? Do you want me to hide it for you? Or do you need any help? Just tell me."

As Lu Beiyuan spoke, he flipped open the book, intending to see what kind of forbidden book it was that needed to be hidden.

Then he was stunned!

This is a banned book, and it is indeed a book that needs to be hidden.

But this is not the kind of book that Lu Beiyuan thought it would be, a book that cannot be discovered because of the current situation and political stance.

This book is the famous Thirty-Six Styles of a Certain Palace...

This book... cough cough...

“Is this your book?”

Zhang Tong didn't feel embarrassed when Lu Beiyuan took out the book in front of him.

"I went to the scrap yard to find a cabinet to put in my house, but when I got it back, I found that there was a layer in the cabinet, and inside the layer was this ahem... book..."

Now there is no doubt about the origin of the book, but Lu Beiyuan is still wondering why Zhang Tong wanted to give this thing to him?

"You don't need this thing?"

Zhang Tong said with a magnanimous look: "Brother, look at what you said. I have read this book, but don't I think you need it more?"

Lu Beiyuan:......

No! Why did Zhang Tong feel that he needed this book?

Lu Beiyuan's hesitation in not speaking made Zhang Tong feel that Lu Beiyuan was embarrassed to accept it, so he had to continue to persuade him: "Brother, don't underestimate the experience of these predecessors. Although it is not something that can be seen on the surface, learning a few tricks will definitely have a great effect on enhancing the relationship between husband and wife!"

Zhang Tong had said this, and although he didn't know why he suddenly gave this thing to him, he guessed that maybe this was the way married men shared things?

Thinking of this, Lu Beiyuan did not refuse. After returning home, he chose some small props from the time and space exchange machine and gave them to Zhang Tong as a return gift.

And all this happened because of the previous conversation between Yu Jiang and He Zhile.

He Zhile got wrong information from Yu Jiang, and was very sure of her guess, so she hinted to Zhang Tong behind his back.

The result is that the couple successfully misunderstood that Lu Beiyuan might be lacking something in some aspects...

After thinking it over for a while, in order to help the couple and not to undermine Lu Beiyuan's confidence, Zhang Tong decided to give the book of Thirty-Six Styles of a Certain Palace to Lu Beiyuan.

He Zhile and Zhang Tong, who sent the things out, both looked like they were hiding their achievements and fame. As for the young couple Yu Jiang and Lu Beiyuan, this is the best they can do. They only hope that the relationship between Yu Jiang and Lu Beiyuan can become more harmonious because of this.

The small props that Lu Beiyuan gave to Zhang Tong were also used very smoothly by Zhang Tong on He Zhile.

As for Zhang Tong and his wife’s experience, only they themselves know…

In short, Lu Beiyuan didn't feel anything wrong after getting the book. He just thought that Zhang Tong came to him for the purpose of exchanging experiences between men, so he accepted it very happily. He didn't even have the slightest suspicion that this was a question of his ability as a man.

Yu Jiang knew nothing about this matter.

It’s just that Lu Beiyuan learned a lot of new things from the book, and then, as a good student, Lu Beiyuan successfully taught Yu Jiang to put his knowledge into practice.

How to say it, Yu Jiang and He Zhile had no idea what happened afterwards, they just felt that their men were a little different during this period, as if some kind of Rendong meridian had been opened, and they were constantly doing new things!

But that's all a story for later. Although Lu Beiyuan and Zhang Tong didn't think anything of it when they first exchanged experiences, they were able to prepare for tonight's extra meal without blushing or getting nervous.

But now, at least, we are at the dinner table, two people who share a little secret. Although they were very straightforward when they conspired, now when they look at each other, it is still a little awkward...

So when Yu Jiang asked him what happened, Lu Beiyuan would never tell Yu Jiang what happened and could only avoid Yu Jiang's questions by drinking and eating.

Seeing that Lu Beiyuan deliberately didn't answer her question, Yu Jiang thought that everyone was here now, so she didn't ask any more questions. She put another piece of boiled chicken in Lu Beiyuan's bowl and said, "Eat something. Don't just drink. I won't take care of you if you feel uncomfortable at night."

Lu Beiyuan was very pleased to hear the worry in his wife's words, and the slight guilt he felt was quickly suppressed by the alcohol.

However, there are some things that he just accepts secretly. Telling his wife about them would have the opposite effect because she would be shy.

As for the fact that he had secretly taken hangover pills before drinking tonight, Lu Beiyuan's current drunken appearance was probably just an act...

Anyway, as long as Yu Jiang doesn't know, maybe I can do something else at night under the influence of alcohol!
