Master, That's My Wife and My House! - Chapter 18

“Thank you… Ah!?” Lin Youwei was startled when she saw Chen Feng beside her and asked in surprise, “What are you doing here?”

Chen Feng said, half-laughing and half-crying, “You don’t think I wouldn’t notice if the person sleeping next to me left, do you? I’m not a pig.”

Lin Youwei’s eyes showed a hint of panic as she said softly, “I’m sorry, I just didn’t want to delay you from using these things tomorrow…!”

Chen Feng gently put his arm around Lin Youwei’s shoulder, pulled her into his arms, and said softly, “Don’t say sorry, I should say thank you.”

Lin Youwei’s eyelashes trembled, but a feeling of sadness rose in her heart. If she had met Chen Feng earlier, would her life have been completely different?

“Xiao Lin, Technician Chen, you two have gone too far! We know you’re newlyweds, but have you considered how we single guys feel?” Someone in the workshop saw the two of them snuggling together and couldn’t help but tease them.

Lin Youwei quickly pushed Chen Feng away and broke free from his embrace.

Chen Feng grinned and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll introduce you to suitable people in the future.”

If the two hadn’t been married, their behavior would have been no different from hooligans in this day and age. In the 1970s, hooliganism was a crime that could really get you shot, so it’s no wonder Lin Youwei reacted so strongly.

Chen Feng spent almost four hours working on the components with Lin Youwei. After finishing, he quickly took Lin Youwei back to rest. She had to go to work during the day, so she could only get a couple of hours of sleep at most.

“Why don’t you skip your day shift? I’ll help you get a day off,” Chen Feng said.

Lin Youwei shook her head repeatedly, “No need. I slept at home for a while before going to the factory yesterday. I can take a nap for more than two hours when I get back. I’ll take another nap during my lunch break. It won’t interfere with anything.”

These days, workers truly feel a sense of belonging to their factories, and many people embody the saying “love the factory as if it were their home,” which is not surprising.

Decades later, you might go to some fancy factory and work so hard you’d want to jump off a building, but in the 1970s, the factory genuinely cared about its workers.

The factory area has a nursery, school, hospital, and staff housing. As long as you are in the factory, you can solve almost everything for your life. Even when you die, the factory will arrange a funeral service to assist the workers’ families with their funeral arrangements.

Under such circumstances, how could the workers not feel a sense of belonging? And how could they not think about the well-being of their own factory?

After taking a nap at home, when Chen Feng woke up, Lin Youwei was already busy preparing breakfast.

“Get up! I’ve cooked some porridge and made some pancakes, along with shredded zucchini and green peppers. Wash up and come eat quickly, it’s still hot,” Lin Youwei said, displaying the demeanor of a hostess as she busied herself.

Chen Feng got up and washed up, but instead of going to eat, he came to the kitchen to help Lin Youwei. When Lin Youwei saw him come in, she reached out to push him away, saying, “You don’t need to. I’m almost done. You should go eat!”

The weather in June was already getting a bit hot, especially in the kitchen. Sweat soaked Lin Youwei’s hair, but in Chen Feng’s eyes, it was glistening and incredibly tempting.

Overwhelmed with emotion, Chen Feng couldn’t resist and pulled Lin Youwei into his arms. Lin Youwei trembled slightly and whispered, “Xiao Feng… no, don’t do this.”

Chen Feng’s Adam’s apple bobbed, and he kissed Lin Youwei’s lips hard, startling her so much that her eyes widened. Chen Feng could even feel Lin Youwei’s body harden; she was about to thrust! But everyone was in the same boat, and he was also… um!

Releasing Lin Youwei, Chen Feng laughed and said, “Let’s go eat.”

Chen Feng carried the bowls and plates into the house to eat, while Lin Youwei stood there in a daze. The kiss just now had left her mind blank, and she felt suffocated.

“No, no, Lin Youwei, what are you thinking? Xiaofeng… Xiaofeng and I are only in a fake marriage.” Lin Youwei patted her face, telling herself that what had just happened was just an accident, and she had to forget it, she had to forget it quickly.

When Lin Youwei returned, Chen Feng immediately pushed the porridge over and praised, “Master’s wife, you made such delicious pancakes. The zucchini and green peppers are crisp, but you managed to cover up the zucchini’s fresh taste. The crispy parts on the outside are also delicious.”

“Then eat more,” Lin Youwei said, then absentmindedly drank her porridge. The silly girl didn’t know to turn around, and kept drinking from one spot. It was too hot to drink from, so she stopped and waited. Chen Feng had finished his bowl of porridge, but she hadn’t even finished hers yet.

After finishing their meal, the two prepared to leave for work. Just as they stepped outside, they saw Zhou Zhenglong strolling around. Lin Youwei was still flustered because of what had just happened, and seeing Zhou Zhenglong now gave her an even stranger sense of transgression.

Chen Feng knew exactly what Lin Youwei was thinking, so he said to her, “Master’s wife, go back to your room first, and come out later. Go straight to work.”

“Mmm.” Lin Youwei nodded, her heart pounding with panic. She felt that she was no different from Pan Jinlian in the book, utterly wicked.

Chen Feng sighed inwardly. Lin Youwei was a good woman, but because of the times, she was too stubborn. Did someone like Zhou Zhenglong even deserve a wife? Besides, she was beaten to death by Zhou Zhenglong in her previous life.

Thinking of this, Chen Feng walked towards Zhou Zhenglong, who was strolling outside. Before Zhou Zhenglong could even see him, he heard Chen Feng call out, “Master, what brings you here?”

Zhou Zhenglong, with a cigarette in his hand, twitched his eyelids when he saw Chen Feng. He had been beaten up by Chen Feng the day before yesterday, and when he got back, he found that his crotch was wet. He hated the kid ever since. If it weren’t for the fact that he needed Chen Feng for the housing allocation, Zhou Zhenglong would have already found a way to kill Chen Feng.

“Hehe, Xiaofeng, I… came to see your master’s wife,” Zhou Zhenglong said.

Chen Feng laughed and said, “Master’s wife went to work overtime at the factory last night and isn’t home right now. Besides… Master, do you think I would mistreat my wife?! And come to visit her on set?”

Zhou Zhenglong quickly replied, “No way, do you think I don’t know your character? You definitely wouldn’t do such a thing.”

Chen Feng smiled at Zhou Zhenglong, then said slowly, “That’s right, don’t worry! Master’s wife… is very radiant!”

“ah?”
