Rebirth in the 70s: A military wife who was married into a vegetative state

"Take you to the mall for a walk. There is a clothing fair in Beijing recently."

Xiao Jinnian quickened his pace and kept up with the two girls.

Qiao Shi held An Nian's hand and turned to look at him: "Are you paying?"

Xiao Jinnian laughed: "Of course, I will pay and you will contribute. This is fair."

An Nian held his forehead, a little funny: "I won't go, I will go back to the military area later."

"There's no need to be in such a hurry." Xiao Jinnian raised his hand and looked at the time. "We're going to go shopping for two hours now, just in time to separate. Otherwise, if you go back to the military area, there won't be much fun."

"Yes, Nian Nian, not long after we met, you have to leave."

When Qiao Shi heard that she was leaving, he immediately hugged her arm tightly and refused to let go.

"Just go shopping with us! Okay?!"

Xiao Jinnian put his hands in his pockets: "Let's go together. My driver is waiting outside. It's very convenient to go back and forth."

"Okay." An Nian was also a little moved, "Can I buy clothes at the exhibition?"

"Yes, the style is very new, there are many foreign guests coming and going, and the quality is much higher than what you can see in the supply and marketing cooperatives."

An Nian rolled his eyes and nodded: "Okay."

"Awesome! Let's go, let's go!"

Qiao Shi pulled her into the Xiao family's car.

The car drove towards the International Exhibition Hall in the center of the city. International exhibitions of all sizes in the capital are held here. The location is natural and the area is extremely large.

Normally, citizens are allowed to visit some trade fairs, but this time because it involves export business, no one is allowed to enter without an invitation letter.

Xiao Jinnian's car only stopped for a symbolic moment, and was quickly let go and drove directly into the exhibition hall.

They enter from the side.

The voice is full of people!

An Nian saw another kind of prosperity.

Every manufacturer is actively promoting its products, whether the fabrics are of good quality, or the styles are varied, or they are high-quality and low-priced.

"Nian Nian! This dress is beautiful!"

After shopping for more than ten minutes, Qiao Shi caught his eye at a red skirt on the stand.

The waist-pinching design, straight and now loose and simple, makes it appear more elegant and charming.

"It must look good on you!"

"Me?" An Nian pointed at himself and shook his head repeatedly. "I can't, it's too red."

She will still learn from her master for the rest of the time. It is not good to wear something too eye-catching.

"What are you afraid of? Just look good! You are taller, so wearing a medium size is just right."

Qiao Shi looked at An Nian's height and figure, then raised his hand to signal to the staff in the booth.

The other party trotted over: "Comrade, which one do you like?"

“Do you retail?”

Qiao Shi just asked several companies, and they all focus on wholesale. They also want to sign large orders with foreign guests.

The other party hesitated for a second, and after seeing Xiao Jinnian, he suddenly smiled and nodded: "Retail."

Qiao Shi's eyes lit up slightly: "Okay, give me two skirts of that style. One red and one blue."

As she said that, she turned to look at An Nian.

"Nian Nian, we each have one, dressed as besties. You are red, I am blue."

When she said this, An Nian couldn't refuse.

"it is good."

"Let me get it." Xiao Jinnian took the lead and took the bag, looking at An Nian with a smile. "Nian Nian, I just saw that you have been looking for a sweater?"

"Ah, yes."

His thoughts were guessed, and An Nian admitted it generously.

"Autumn has entered, and winter is coming next. The winter in our hometown is quite cold. I want to buy a sweater for my parents."

"Sweater..." Xiao Jinnian moved his mouth slightly and smiled. "The sweater is still too thick, and the thermal insulation effect is not top-notch. I suggest you buy a cashmere sweater."

"Cashmere sweater?"

"Well, clothes made from cashmere feel softer and lighter than sweaters. They are light and warm to wear. I used to wear thin cashmere sweaters in Hong Kong City during the winter."

An Nian asked eagerly: "Is it also available at this exhibition?"

"Yes, of course." Seeing her interest, Xiao Jinnian smiled even more. "I'll take you there. There are three factories at the fair that can produce cashmere sweaters, but the one with the best quality belongs to Hengyuan Cashmere Factory."

With that said, he changed direction and led An Nian and the others in another direction.

A cashmere sweater costs ten yuan, which is really scary. In 78, the salary of an ordinary worker was only four and a half yuan.

Prices at this time were in two extremes. You could buy two eggs for a dime, while supplies that were in short supply cost dozens or hundreds of yuan, such as watches, sewing machines, and bicycles.

The gap between rich and poor has actually gradually emerged.

An Nian was rich, so she refused Xiao Jinnian's payment and bought two cashmere sweaters with her own money, planning to take them back to her parents. As for the rest of the family, she only bought scarves and gloves that were safe to use.

Young people are much more picky about styles and colors than older people, and An Nian is not good at buying indiscriminately.

After two hours of shopping, they bought a lot of large and small bags, and then the three of them left the fair.

-

The Xiao family's car stopped in front of Qiao's house. As soon as An Nian opened the door, he saw the tall man standing at the door.

Her eyes lit up: "Yuanyuan, are you here?"

"Ah."

Yu Luyuan has broad shoulders and long legs. When he stood at the door of Qiao's house, the tile edge above blocked half of the light.His handsome and deep facial features had an inexplicable sense of oppression in the shadows, especially when his eyes fell on Xiao Jinnian who was getting out of the car with him, there was a sharp flash.

However, when his eyes turned to An Nian, the sharpness seemed to be just an illusion of a few people.

With a smile on his face, he stretched out his hand towards An Nian.

"What did you buy?"

An Nian looked up at him and handed the things over happily.

"I bought cashmere sweaters for my parents and very comfortable scarves for my younger brothers and sisters."

"It's just you who keeps thinking about them."

Yu Luyuan put his arm around her and put his big palm on her shoulder with a possessiveness that could not be ignored.

This was the first time Xiao Jinnian felt his rejection, and there was a gloomy twinkle between his slightly lowered eyebrows.

he found out...

own intentions.

Seeing An Nian and Yu Luyuan turning around to enter the courtyard, Xiao Jinnian suddenly called out to her.

"Nian Nian, you forgot your cake."

"Oh!" An Nian looked back at him, trotted over to take it, and returned to Yu Luyuan. "Yuanyuan, I ate a very delicious cake at the exhibition. I specially bought an extra portion and brought it back to you to try."

"Okay."

Yu Luyuan smiled and nodded, then looked at Xiao Jinnian.

"Master Xiao, I'm sorry to trouble you."

The expression on Xiao Jinnian's face changed slightly, but the smile on the corner of his mouth was a little bitter.

"You're welcome. I'm going back to Hong Kong City in a while. I don't know how long it will be before we meet again."

He worked hard for a long time to move forward, but found that he was the only one delusional.

I wanted to retreat, but I still couldn't make a decision.

However, this time I have to retreat.

Xiao Jinnian felt uncomfortable inside.He used to hate outsiders who interfered with other people's marriages, but he never imagined that one day he would desperately want to be in a position of power, but An Nian didn't even leave him any illusions.

She can't stay any longer. Everyone around An Nian has noticed that if he moves forward, it will cause her greater trouble.

The relationship between a man and a woman may be just a romantic affair for a man, but it is a scandal for a woman.

Today's China cannot tolerate apostasy.

Xiao Jinnian felt his throat tighten when he thought of this. He raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"By the way, I have a parting gift for you."

With that said, he returned to the car, took out two small boxes, and handed them to An Nian and Qiao Shi respectively.

He looked at Yu Luyuan and said apologetically: "Captain Yu, I'm so sorry. I didn't know you were here, so I didn't prepare your gift."

Yu Luyuan held the large and small bags bought by An Nian in one hand and put the other hand in his pocket. Hearing this, he glanced at him.

The two men met each other's eyes and knew each other well.

"What is it?" Qiao Shi was a little curious, "Can I open it?"

The red box can be easily opened by lifting it up.

Xiao Jinnian looked away and said with a smile, "Okay."

Qiao Shi opened it and was pleasantly surprised: "Oh my God, it turns out to be a Rilin watch! Their star and moon design is the latest model this year, right? I heard its advertisement before when I listened to the radio!"

An Nian also opened it and took a look. It was exactly the same as Qiao Shi's.

Xiao Jinnian nodded: "It's this year's new model, a Dragon Boat Festival gift from Ruilin. It's just that I can't use the women's watch, so I just want to borrow flowers to offer to Buddha."

Qiao Shi's eyes were complicated, and he had a higher level of understanding of the Xiao family's wealth and Xiao Jinnian's generosity.

"Xiao Jinnian, it's great to be your friend."

An Nian chuckled: "Xiao Jinnian, you'd better leave quickly, otherwise I'm afraid Shi Shi will rob you."

Xiao Jinnian laughed: "It doesn't have to be like this. Ladies, if you need anything, just ask. Xiao will give it to you without any need for robbery."

After a few people joked, Xiao Jinnian got in the car.

After getting in the car, the smile on his face disappeared quickly. He leaned on the back seat of the car, and the bright and dim lights hit his thin lips with an infinite coldness.

"Master..."

Xiao Jinnian raised his hand to interrupt the driver: "You have made up for it this time. If there is another time, you don't have to follow me."

The driver's body trembled. He no longer dared to look at him through the rearview mirror and concentrated on driving.

Xiao Jinnian turned to look out the window, remembering his previous recklessness. He also gave An Nian a watch regulator, but he did not expect that the watch he gave away before did not reach An Nian's hands at all.

Thinking of his grandfather's thoughtful look at him, Xiao Jinnian knew that he didn't have the strength to resist at the moment.

He must endure...

-

Qiao Shi watched him leave, touched his watch fondly, and skipped home.

"Nian Nian! I'm going to try on new clothes!"

"it is good."

An Nian's eyes were smiling. After seeing that she had disappeared, he turned to look at Yu Luyuan, stepped forward and took his hand, and the two of them walked slowly inside.

"Nian Nian, let's buy a yard too, right?"

Yu Luyuan looked around and suddenly had the idea of ​​buying a house in his mind.

An Nian played with his hand: "Do you want to buy it in the capital?"

"Well, I will take classes at the Capital Military Academy next."

"Huh?" An Nian stopped and looked sideways at him. "We're not going back to Yuncheng?"

"Well, we can't go back for at least two years."

Yu Luyuan grabbed her soft fingers with his backhand and squeezed them gently, with intimacy and love.

"The Military Academy is not far from here. We can also look for a suitable courtyard in this area."

Living closer to the Qiao family, they can take care of each other, and Yu Luyuan can see that An Nian likes the environment of the Qiao family very much.

This alley is very clean, and the people who live in it are relatively pure. There are no difficult people to get along with, so it is very suitable for two people to build a small home.

"it is good!"

Hearing her answer, the corners of Yu Luyuan's mouth couldn't stop rising.

"I bought a red skirt. Can you wear it?"

An Nian hooked his fingers and traced his slender fingertips across his palm.

A little numbness spread from the palm of his hand and hit Lu Yuan's back, making his heart soften, and his deep eyes turned into watery tenderness.

"I'll help you get dressed."

The two hadn't been intimate for a long time, and neither of them wanted to part with the warmth at this time.

An Nian opened her arms and stood between his legs, letting him take off her clothes little by little, then took out the red skirt and put it on.

She turned around, picked up her shoulder-length hair with her right hand, tilted her face slightly and tried to look back.

"Help me zip it up."

Yu Luyuan's eyes were full of hidden lust, and when he saw the large area of ​​fair skin she exposed, his fingers holding the zipper were trembling slightly.

An Nian looked down at him. From her perspective, she could see his high nose, fluttering eyelashes and slightly pursed lips.

A hint of cunning flashed in his eyes, and An Nian urged him.

"Hurry up, Shi Shi will be here soon."

Based on Qiao Shi's character, she had changed her clothes and if she felt good, she would definitely come to her.

Not to mention that the two of them bought bestie outfits this time, a red skirt paired with a blue skirt. Qiao Shi would definitely be impatient.

Sure enough, as soon as An Nian finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.

Qiao Shi's voice fell at the door: "Niannian, come and take a look! Does it look good on me wearing this skirt?"

An Nian whispered: "Yuanyuan, hurry up."

Yu Luyuan took a deep breath, held both sides of the skirt with one hand, held the small zipper with the other, and pulled it up hard.

"All right."

"Thank you Yuanyuan."

An Nian let down her hair and hid the smile in her eyes.

"Does it look good?"

She spun around the room, her red skirt cutting through the air like petals.

Yu Luyuan smelled a faint fragrance on the tip of his nose. It was light, like the freshest floral fragrance after the rain, mixed with a touch of Chinese medicine, which was the unique smell of An Nian.

He raised his head and looked at her intently, nodding: "It looks good."

An Nian pursed her lips and smiled, then opened the door with brisk steps and met Qiao Shi, who had been waiting for a long time. The two looked at each other in the yard for a long time, then went to get lipstick, planning to match it with a complete set.

Yu Luyuan watched for a while, not quite understanding the girls' fun, so he simply got up and went to the kitchen to cook.

With Qiao Yongsheng's current status, their family has no shortage of supplies. Every few days, people from the street office will come to deliver some of the freshest fruits and vegetables, and the freshest meats are also delivered.

Yu Luyuan started the fire and cooked the food neatly, playing his best role as a househusband.

When the aroma of the food wafted out of the courtyard, Qiao Yongsheng came back.

Yu Luyuan brought all the food to the yard, enjoying the night breeze and eating delicious food, much like a family of four.

After the meal, Yu Luyuan came out with a cantaloupe.

"This is from the chief."

Yu Luyuan said with a smile, in an understatement, not mentioning how everyone was stunned when he made this request, and the smile that flashed across the leader's eyes afterwards.

"Don't Nian Nian like to eat? Try this to see if it's sweet."

"Definitely sweet!"

An Nian held her chin up and looked at Yu Luyuan with flushed cheeks.

She swore from her years of experience with muling roots that this cantaloupe was the sweetest she had ever tasted.

After eating, An Nian and Yu Luyuan left Qiao's house.

Qiao Shi reluctantly watched them leave, muttering to himself.

"Grandpa, why don't they stay at our house? It's so late, how tiring it is to run back and forth..."

Qiao Yongsheng leaned on the wicker chair, holding the cattail leaf fan in his hand and fanning it constantly, with his eyes half closed.

Catching a glimpse of her granddaughter's depressed face, she suddenly said: "Shi Shi, can grandpa introduce you to some young talents?"

Qiao Shi was stunned: "Huh?"

"You are not young anymore, you can start getting to know each other."

Seeing the sweetness between An Nian and Yu Luyuan, Qiao Yongsheng felt that not every couple would be like their own daughter and son-in-law, torturing each other after marriage.

Qiao Changsheng covered up the sadness in his eyes and looked at his granddaughter with a smile: "Shi Shi, what do you like?"

Qiao Shi held his chin and was speechless for a long time.
