On a sunny morning, Lena was busy in the kitchen. She wiped the stove while listening to the knocking sound from outside the door. The sound was neither hurried nor slow, yet carried an urgency that couldn't be ignored. Lena wiped her hands and walked towards the door. She gently opened a crack and looked closely—a tall, burly man stood outside. Broad shoulders, rugged face, a gaze carrying a hint of fierceness, making one feel his imposing presence at a glance. The man stared straight at Lena, his voice low yet carrying a sense of pressure: 'Do you have a B?'
Lena's heart sank sharply. She immediately realized this wasn't a friendly greeting but an offense. Her face instantly turned pale with anger surging in her heart. She slammed the door shut with a heavy 'bang,' her heart still racing wildly. The sudden knock was like a needle piercing her heart. Lena took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. She pushed open the window and softly called out to the street below, 'Sorry, sir, my home doesn't welcome such disturbances.' Without another glance, she closed the window.
That morning, Lena's emotions hadn't calmed down. She had originally planned to make breakfast for her husband, but the kitchen knife in her hand trembled slightly with anger. Standing by the window, she looked at the empty street below and silently thought: This kind of person is really so rude! The kitchen was filled with the faint aroma of coffee, but she had no appetite at all. Lena recalled the earlier scene, and the anger in her heart was simply indescribable. She felt her dignity had been violated; she couldn't let such a small thing affect her happiness for the day.
She took a few deep breaths, telling herself to calm down. Lena tidied the newspapers on the table, preparing to start reading the news. She suddenly noticed an interesting article in the newspaper, which told the story of a housewife who used her wits to defeat a thief. The corner of Lena's mouth lifted slightly as she thought: If I encountered such a situation, I could definitely come up with a solution too. She believed her mind worked quickly and could definitely turn this matter into a joke.
In the afternoon, Lina received a phone call from her husband. She told him what had just happened, and her husband laughed out loud on the phone, his voice full of humor. He said, “Honey, you did a great job. Let’s figure out a way together and have a good laugh about it.” Lina immediately felt much more at ease. She felt that her husband’s encouragement helped her regain her confidence. She believed that with their joint efforts, this matter would surely become interesting.
In the evening, Lina lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. She kept thinking: would that man come again tomorrow? If he came again, what should she do? Lina thought and thought, and finally decided to tell her mother about it. After listening, her mother patted her shoulder and said, 'Sweetie, you need to face it bravely. Family is our strength; we'll face any challenge together.' Lina's heart felt warm, and she felt she had a strong support.
The next morning, after Lina woke up, sunlight streamed into the room through the window. She put on comfortable clothes, ready to welcome the new day. She took a deep breath and told herself to maintain an optimistic attitude. Lina busied herself in the kitchen, prepared breakfast, and waited for her family to arrive. Her mood gradually calmed down; she believed everything would be alright.
In the afternoon, Lina was drying clothes on the balcony when she suddenly heard knocking at the door downstairs. Her heartbeat quickened, and she subconsciously stopped what she was doing. She went down the stairs to the doorway and gently opened the door. Outside, the burly man appeared again. He still looked at Lina so fiercely, his voice carrying a hint of cunning: “Do you have B?” Lina was shocked. She hurriedly closed the door and decided to tell her husband about it.
Lena dialed her husband's phone and told him what had just happened. Her husband laughed on the phone and said, 'Honey, you need to be brave. I won't go to work tomorrow; we'll deal with him together.' Lena felt reassured, trusting in her husband's wisdom and courage. She believed that as long as they faced such things together, there was nothing to fear.
In the evening, Lina lay in bed, her mind constantly replaying the scene from yesterday. She thought: if her husband also faced this man like that, the scene would surely be interesting. She imagined her husband bravely standing behind the door, wondering what the burly man's reaction would be. Lina's heart was filled with anticipation; she believed this incident would become a joke everyone would laugh about.
On the third morning, Lena got up early. She prepared breakfast, ready to welcome the day. She took a deep breath and told herself to stay calm and humorous. Lena busied herself in the kitchen, waiting for the burly man's arrival. Her mood grew calmer and calmer; she believed everything would become interesting.
Around nine in the morning, Lina was tidying up in the living room when she suddenly heard knocking from outside the door. Her heart sped up, and she took a deep breath before opening the door. Outside, a burly man was standing there, asking menacingly, “Do you have B?” Lina was startled; she forced herself to stay calm and said, “Yes.” A flash of surprise crossed the burly man’s eyes. He froze for a moment, then laughed and said, “Good. Then go back and tell your husband not to fucking come mess with my wife.”
After saying that, the burly man turned and ran. Lina stood at the door, stunned. She hadn't expected the burly man to get scared so quickly. Her mind raced, thinking: Husband will definitely be very happy. She smiled and told her husband about it. Her husband laughed heartily on the phone, saying, "Honey, you did great."
Lena and her husband chatted about this amusing incident in the living room. Her husband said, "Honey, you must bravely face any challenge. I'm proud of you." Lena's heart was filled with warmth; she felt she was the luckiest wife in the world. Lena felt this matter became a beautiful memory for their family.
In the evening, Lina lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. She kept thinking: what should she do if she encountered such a situation again in the future? Lina thought and thought, and finally decided to tell her friend about it. After listening, her friend patted her shoulder and said, 'Sweetie, you need to face it bravely. Friends are our strength; we'll face any challenge together.' Lina's heart felt warm, and she felt she had a strong support.
Xiaomei was Lina's close friend from college; they shared a dorm all four years and still often met on weekends to chat after graduation. After hearing Lina recount the 'third knocking incident,' Xiaomei was stunned for a few seconds, then burst into laughter, tears nearly streaming down her face: 'Oh my god, Lina! That move of yours is brilliant! That big guy turned and ran right after you said 'yes,' and even cursed his mom? Hahaha, if this story were posted on social media, it'd definitely go viral!'
Xiaomei's words warmed Lina's heart. She sat up from the bed, rubbed her eyes, and said, 'Xiaomei, you don't know how scared I was at that time—my heart almost stopped. But I held my breath and told myself I couldn't lose. And then... then he ran away on his own!'
Xiaomei caught her breath and continued, 'I'll give you some advice right now! Next time you encounter such a pervert, don't just close the door—put on an act! For example, while closing the door, say, 'Sir, are you sure you're here to discuss business? Our house doesn't sell B, it sells cars!' Or just ask him outright, 'Are you here to knock on the door or knock on B?' That'll definitely scare him off on his own!'
Lena couldn't help but laugh out loud: 'Xiaomei, you're being too sarcastic, aren't you? I'll try it tomorrow!'
Early the next morning, Lena was preparing breakfast in the kitchen as usual, sunlight just streaming through the window. Xiao Mei arrived an hour early. The two women huddled together in the living room, preparing to perform an 'upgraded version' comedy skit. Xiao Mei even specifically brought her phone, video function on, ready to screenshot and send to the group at any time.
At exactly ten in the morning, that familiar knocking sounded again. Lina took a deep breath, walked to the door, and gently opened it a crack. Outside, the burly man was once again standing there with a ferocious look on his face, and in that same fierce tone he said, “Do you have B?”
Lena forcefully suppressed the fear in her heart, pretending to be a bit scared yet somewhat witty as she replied: "Yes... but may I ask, are you here to discuss business, or... to deliver flowers?"
The burly man froze. His rugged face instantly contorted, his eyes widening like copper bells. He stammered, "You... what did you say? Give... give flowers?!" Then he abruptly turned and ran, even faster than last time, nearly kicking the shoes in the hallway flying.
The husband hiding behind the door and Xiao Mei jumped out from the shadows simultaneously, and the three of them burst into laughter at the same time. The husband laughed so hard he couldn't straighten up: 'Honey, your line 'the flower delivery guy' was absolutely perfect! His face was even more awkward than the underwear I wore yesterday!'
Xiaomei held up her phone to record the whole process, excitedly shouting, 'Lina! You've become an internet celebrity! 'The housewife who says 'yes'!' Hahaha, next time I'll give you a nickname: Lina the B-door expert!'
The three of them laughed so hard they nearly collapsed to the ground. Just then, the neighbor Granny Wang happened to pass by. Hearing the commotion, she came over, and when she saw the scene, she first asked in confusion: “What’s going on? Is someone knocking at the door again?”
Xiaomei blinked and directly pointed her phone camera at Granny Wang: 'Granny Wang, do you want to give it a try too? Lina is now the inventor of the 'Knock Knock Special Move'!'
Granny Wang was stunned for half a second, then burst into laughter: "Oh my, these old bones have lived for sixty or seventy years, and this is the first time I've seen such a creative way of knocking on the door to harass someone! Lina, you have to teach me this trick!"
From that day on, Lina's home became the neighborhood's well-known "comedy spokesperson." Whenever a stranger knocked on the door, the neighbors would call ahead to remind her: "Lina, Big B is here again! Ready with your killer move?"
Once, a middle-aged man knocked on the door, his voice particularly stern: 'Do you have B?' Lina still replied in the same tone: 'Yes! But may I ask, are you here to discuss B, or to deliver B?' The man was so angry he rolled his eyes, his face red and neck thick as he shouted, 'You... what do you mean?!' Then he stormed off in a huff.
Another young man knocked on the door, with a sly look in his eyes: “Got B?” Lina smiled and said, “Yes! But I only give it to my husband alone. Do you want to send your wife’s B over first?” The young man immediately turned and disappeared at the stairway, repeatedly saying, “Yes, yes, yes.”
Every time Xiaomei came over, she brought surprise gifts—not chocolate, but her compiled collection of 'golden knocking phrases.' Lina would take it out daily to memorize, then tell her husband when she got home, and the couple would laugh together. Her husband always said, 'Honey, you're not just acting; you're creating a world record.'
