Chapter 173 Swimming!
Early in the morning, Li Changhe was awakened by the sound of a door being pushed open.
I slowly opened my eyes and saw Zhu Lin coming to the bedside.
"Wake up, Changhe!"
"Ok?"
Li Changhe opened his eyes and saw that it was his wife who came in. He subconsciously pulled her into his arms.
"Why are you down so early?"
Li Changhe hugged her and asked with his eyes closed.
"I'm calling you to have breakfast. Mom went out to buy youtiao and buns this morning. Come up and eat with us."
"Okay, I'll get up and wash my face."
Li Changhe nodded, then let go of Zhu Lin in his arms and sat up.
After putting on clothes and washing their faces in the bathroom, Li Changhe and Zhu Lin went upstairs.
In the room, there was a plate of buns and fried dough sticks, as well as a large bowl of soy milk on the table. In addition, there were the indispensable Liubiju pickles.
My father-in-law and mother-in-law had finished their meal and went to work. Only Gong Xue was sitting in the room, peeling garlic quietly.
Li Changhe prefers the pickled sugar garlic among the pickles from Liubiju.
I guess it was Zhu Lin who helped him take it out.
What was originally a whole head of garlic has now become cloves placed in a small bowl.
"Eat, and then we'll go out for a walk today."
After Zhu Lin and Li Changhe sat down, Zhu Lin picked up a fried dough stick for Li Changhe and said with a smile.
Li Changhe took a bite of the fried dough stick and picked up a pickled garlic.
Not to mention, it’s so convenient to eat it directly without having to peel it yourself.
"Where are you going in this hot weather?"
After Li Changhe swallowed it, he asked casually.
"Let's go to the Summer Palace. I told Xiaoxue about it last night."
Zhu Lin said with a smile at this time.
"To the Summer Palace?"
Li Changhe was speechless. Climbing Wanshou Mountain in such hot weather?
"Yes, let's go swimming in Kunming Lake!"
"It's the most comfortable day to soak in the water. It just so happens that Xiaoxue can swim!"
Zhu Lin said with a smile.
Li Changhe looked at Gong Xue in surprise: "You can swim too?"
Gong Xue smiled and said to Li Changhe: "Brother-in-law, we are near the sea, of course we can swim."
Well, after sleeping with Zhu Lin for a night, she wasn't so shy anymore.
"Okay then, we can go swimming later!"
Swim in the summer and skate in the winter!
These are the two major hobbies of people in Beijing at this time.
Because a great man loved swimming and the capital had a well-developed water system, people in the capital of that era, from young to old, loved swimming.
Such places as Shichahai, Yuyuantan, Taoranting and so on, basically all places where people can go into water have been transformed into open-air swimming pools.
The same is true for Kunming Lake in the Summer Palace, where you can swim in the summer, skate in the winter, and play around.
In addition, many government agencies have their own swimming pools for their employees to swim.
There is also a swimming pool in the May Fourth Gymnasium of Peking University. In addition, some daring students, regardless of gender, swim directly in the Weiming Lake.
Li Changhe was also a good swimmer in his previous life, but his own swimming skills were average and he didn't have much of a hobby.
It was just that this year, inspired by my classmates at Peking University, I also practiced in the water, and slowly I recovered some of my level.
"Okay, we can go swimming in Kunming Lake later. Bring your clothes. By the way, does Gong Xue have a swimsuit?"
"Nonsense, she definitely doesn't have any. Mine is a bit too big for her. I'll just go to the Tiger Cave and buy her a new set later."
Zhu Lin is about 1.67 meters tall, but she is from the north and has a big frame.
Gong Xue doesn't look much shorter than Zhu Lin, but she has thin arms and legs and a petite figure.
"Okay, let's go to the Tiger Cave later and buy one on the way!"
Li Changhe nodded and said.
It's strange these days. If you say the atmosphere is conservative, it is quite conservative, but when it comes to swimming, it's really not conservative.
I can only say that some people’s influence is really beyond imagination!
After finishing their meal and cleaning up, the three of them went downstairs.
There are two bicycles at home.
"I take you with me and let her ride your women's bike?"
Li Changhe said to Zhu Lin.
After listening to this, Zhu Lin shook his head.
"Have you forgotten how she got hurt? With her level, she's still riding a bicycle?"
Gong Xue, who was standing by, blushed with embarrassment.
Her wrist was injured in a bicycle fall.
"Well, I'll take her first. If I get tired, I'll take your turn!"
Zhu Lin thought about it and spoke.
"Row!"
Afterwards, the three of them rode two bicycles towards Kunming Lake.
In the middle, we also went to the Tiger Cave and bought a swimsuit for Gong Xue.
There's nothing much to look forward to in swimsuits these days, they're not three-point bikinis.
They are basically all wrapped up, showing at most the shoulders and legs.
When Li Changhe and his companions arrived at Kunming Lake, there were neither too many people nor too few people.
Most of them are young people.
It wasn't a holiday, and everyone who had a job was working, so the place wasn't crowded.
But nowadays, there are quite a few young people returning to the city. Most of them don’t have jobs, and many of them come here to swim on hot days.
There are many empty houses in the Summer Palace, and the park management committee has long ago designated several rooms as changing rooms for citizens to change clothes.
Li Changhe entered the changing room and changed his clothes. It was convenient for men to swim, so they only needed to wear a pair of shorts and be shirtless.
Li Changhe has a well-proportioned figure and a slender body. Although he does not exercise deliberately, he has six well-proportioned abdominal muscles from daily running and playing ball.
Then take a net bag to wrap the clothes, and you have to carry it yourself.
The Summer Palace only provides changing rooms, and you have to carry your own clothes without anyone to watch over you.
After waiting at the door for a while, Zhu Lin and Gong Xue also came out. It was okay for his wife, as Li Changhe had already seen the house from inside to outside, but Gong Xue surprised him a little.
The girl was not very tall, but her body proportions were good, and her skin was whiter than Zhu Lin's.
Maybe because they both practiced dancing, the two girls have four thin and straight legs, like the kind that look very young.
Li Changhe just took a look and then looked away.
Don't look at it too much, he's wearing swimming trunks!
"Hey, put them together!"
Zhu Lin also held a net bag in her hand, which contained her and Gong Xue's clothes.
Zhu Lin handed the net bag to Li Changhe, and Li Changhe stuffed the items into his net bag.
"Let's go!"
Walking along the stone road, he came to the waterside and found an empty space. Li Changhe hung the net bag on the stone pillar next to him.
Those who come to swim are all like this.
"Diving?"
After Li Changhe hung it up, he smiled and said to Zhu Lin and Gong Xue.
"Dance!"
At this time, the two girls, one in front and one behind, jumped into the lake like mermaids.
Seeing this, Li Changhe also jumped down.
The average water depth of Kunming Lake is about 1.5 meters, and the deepest place is three meters, which is the center of the lake.
Seeing this, Li Changhe also jumped down.
It's a hot day, but once you get into the water, it's icy and cool, so comfortable.
Li Changhe swam for a while and felt it was boring, so he slowly lay down on the water in a backstroke position.
"I didn't expect that, Changhe, you have this skill?"
At this time, Zhu Lin swam to Li Changhe's side and asked with a smile.
"You can try it too!" Li Changhe said slowly.
"I can do this!"
At this time, Gong Xue swam over and said with a smile, then turned over in the water and soon floated on the surface.
"Let me try!"
Zhu Lin also followed and learned. With Li Changhe's guidance, he would learn it quickly.
The three people lay flat on the water, drifting with the current, but they attracted the attention of many passers-by.
"No, it's too embarrassing. People will look at us as if we are lying dead."
Zhu Lin turned over at this time and said with a smile.
Gong Xue had already turned over. She had fallen under the water when someone passed by.
"Xiaoxue, let's compete. Swim to the stone bridge ahead and then swim back!"
Zhu Lin said to Gong Xue at this time.
Gong Xue also became interested: "Okay!"
"Then I will be your referee, wait for me to sit down"
Li Changhe pushed himself up with his hands, got ashore, and sat on the stone platform on the shore.
"Come on, one, two, three, let's go!"
As soon as Li Changhe finished speaking, the two of them swam out like mermaids, while Li Changhe sat on the shore and watched with interest.
My wife is bigger in size and swims slower than Gong Xue.
But soon, Li Changhe's gaze turned to a place not far away.
Over there, several men who were also swimming were swimming towards Zhu Lin and the others quietly.
Ice rinks and swimming pools are both holy places for taking photos of women!
Li Changhe turned around, picked up a stone from the side, then looked at the figures of those people, waved his hand and threw it, hitting them in front of them.
"Fuck, who is it?"
"Dude, can't you see someone in front of you? Or what? Do you want to be a loach and follow me?"
To take advantage of someone means to take advantage of someone.
After hearing Li Changhe reveal their thoughts, several people surfaced.
"Why, is this Kunming Lake yours? Can't we swim here?"
"Dude, you're so overbearing, you want to cause trouble, right?"
"I think he brought two maids with him and put it in front of them."
"The man is swimming forward, try throwing another one!"
"boom!"
As soon as the boy finished speaking, Li Changhe threw another stone directly on his shoulder.
"This is a warning. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll make you lie in the water. Do you believe me?"
Li Changhe was too lazy to waste time talking to them. What was the point of just arguing with people with bad intentions?
"Fuck it, if you have the guts, just stand there and wait for me to come up and practice with you one on one."
Several people swam towards the nearby shore, climbed up, and came in front of Li Changhe.
"Sister Lin, what should we do?"
When Gong Xue saw this scene, she swam to Zhu Lin and asked worriedly.
"It's okay, just watch the fun!"
Zhu Lin said nonchalantly.
Zhu Lin was very clear about Li Changhe's strength.
Beating these people is like a game, especially since these idiots are unarmed.
Sure enough, within two minutes, the four people who came ashore were lying on the ground with bruised faces and noses.
"How dare you, a loser like you, come up and ask me to fight alone?"
Li Changhe stepped on the back of the man who was shouting the loudest and said with a sneer.
"Damn it, kid, don't be so arrogant. Do you know who my big brother is?"
"My eldest brother is Men San'er. If you have the guts, go ask around in Haidian and find out my eldest brother's name."
The man was stepped on by Li Changhe and he began to lift him up with gritted teeth.
"Who are you talking about?"
"Mensan'er?"
"Is your eldest brother Mensan'er?"
Li Changhe was a little surprised.
"Why, you've heard of my third brother's name, so you're scared, right?"
"Now help your buddy up and apologize, and I might let you go!"
The man thought Li Changhe was scared. Although his face was pressed to the ground, he was now full of pride.
Seeing this, Li Changhe kicked him several meters away.
"You want to scare me with Men San'er?"
"I'd like to ask him why he accepted a piece of shit like you!"
Li Changhe said in a cold voice at this time.
"Boy, you're done. My third brother and the others are coming."
At this moment, someone got up from the ground and ran away.
In the distance, four or five people were walking towards Li Changhe and his group.
The guy who ran over pointed his hand over here, and then a group of people came over.
The one walking in front was Men Saner.
"Dude, you long river?"
Men Saner approached and was about to talk to Li Changhe, but he found that the young man in front of him was actually Li Changhe.
"San'er, is this the person you recruited?"
At this time, Li Changhe pointed at the person who was kicked to the ground by him and asked in a cold voice.
When Men Saner saw this, his heart trembled.
"Changhe, he is Donkey Head's cousin. He just came back from the countryside and doesn't know you!"
Men Saner hurriedly explained to Li Changhe.
"Does it matter whether you recognize me or not?"
"If you didn't know me, would you have taken advantage of the girl by relying on your numbers?"
"What did I say to Shen Juncheng at the beginning? Why do you bring this kind of rubbish with you?"
At this time, Li Changhe walked up to the man with a gloomy face and kicked him hard in the face again.
"I'm showing you the way so you can walk the right path, not letting you collect this kind of garbage from local hooligans."
"Go back and tell Donkey Head that I beat this kid. If he doesn't accept it, tell him to come find me!"
Then, Li Changhe turned around and continued to say to Men San'er, "Don't let others call you Third Brother and flatter you. If a veteran soldier were to deal with something like today, do you think you could handle it?"
Men Saner sighed at this time.
"Changhe, we all remember what you said. To be honest, this kid just came back and had no job at home. Donkey Head asked him to join the gang, but I never thought he would be like this."
"Don't worry, I'll give him a good beating and kick him out when I get back."
"Take it away. I'll come find you in two days!"
Li Changhe waved his hand. At this time, he couldn't say much in front of Zhu Lin and Gong Xue.
"Okay, you guys play first, I'll take them away!"
Then Men San waved his hand, and several people dragged the guys who were beaten away.
After they walked away, the guy who was beaten the hardest said to Men San'er in grievance: "Third brother, who the hell is he? Are you afraid of him?"
At this time, Men Saner turned his head, looked at the guy, and then kicked him hard in the stomach.
"Didn't I tell you guys to not cause trouble when you go out to play, and don't do things under our name?"
"So everything I told you before fell on deaf ears, right?"
"Fuck it, hit me!"
"Beat them until they learn their lesson!"
Men Saner said sternly at this time.
The people behind him stepped forward without hesitation and started beating up these nasty guys.
(Not today!)
