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

"Let's go home."

Yu Yuejin reached out to Chen Xiaocui.

Chen Xiaocui timidly put her palm in, then looked back at Mother Chen and others.

Mother Chen nodded again.

Chen Xiaocui breathed a sigh of relief and followed Yu Yuejin's footsteps.

Yu Yuejin took her hand and returned to the place where he separated from Zhang Cheng.

"Cui Cui, you wait here, I'll borrow the car."

He quickly ran to Zhang Cheng's house, rode his bicycle over, and drove Chen Xiaocui back to Lu'an Village.

On the last stretch of the ride, the sky was completely dark. Yu Yuejin didn't dare to ride any more, so he just pushed the bike.

In the darkness, only the faint moonlight shone.

Yu Yuejin couldn't see his wife's face clearly and spoke what was in his heart.

"Cui Cui, I hope there will be no other people involved between the two of us. These other people include my parents, your parents, sisters, brothers...

When we get married, we have a small family, and we are the ones who want to spend our lives together.If you keep swaying because of your mother's family, it will hurt the relationship between us. "

"Well...I...I know..."

Chen Xiaocui's timid voice came in a low voice.

Yu Yuejin was a little tired. He felt that this trip was really tiring. The fatigue accumulated for several days was all over him at this moment, and his strength to push the bicycle was almost gone.

Pushing the cart into his small courtyard.

There was no one at home and the lights were all dark.

Yu Yuejin went over and turned on the light, looking at the home that had already fallen into a thick layer of dust, his eyes became sore.

He took a breath: "I'll go to the kitchen to boil water. You wash up and go to bed early."

Looking at his back, Chen Xiaocui bit her lower lip tightly and twisted her hands into knots in front of her.

After standing under the warm light of the main hall for a long time, she walked towards the kitchen with small steps.

"Yuejin...you, are you hungry? Can I give you a bowl of noodles?"

When Yu Yuejin met her frightened and flattering eyes, his heart softened for a moment.

When Chen Xiaocui didn't get an answer, she lowered her head, took out the noodles and bacon from the cupboard, and quickly washed the pot and cooked the bacon.

Taking advantage of this time, she went to the yard to pick some cabbage.

Two bowls of noodles were cooked in no time.

She put the bowl with more bacon in front of Yu Yuejin.

"Yuejin, let's eat noodles."

Yu Yuejin sighed, picked up his chopsticks, and started eating.

Seeing that he was still willing to eat the noodles she cooked, Chen Xiaocui breathed a sigh of relief, with a slight smile on her face, and lowered her head to eat the noodles.

"Cui Cui, you can live at home from today on. I won't go on long distances anymore. I will come back after get off work every day. During the day, I will ask Aunt Lanhua to come over and accompany you."

Chen Xiaocui bit her chopsticks and replied softly: "Okay."

"My mother is in the capital for medical treatment. My eldest brother and I share the medical expenses equally. This is my responsibility. When I left the capital, I promised that I would send money there."

Yu Yuejin had already explained it once before, and he patiently said it a second time today.

"I can make money. Even if I bear half of mom's medical expenses, I won't starve you and the child."

As he spoke, he took out 50 yuan from his pocket and pushed it over.

"This is the money I've earned in the past few days, please keep it."

Chen Xiaocui took it in surprise: "You made 50 yuan in just a few days?"

"Yes, there is overtime pay." Yu Yuejin said without saying much. "Cui Cui, don't worry, our days will get better and better."

Chen Xiaocui pursed her lips and showed a small smile: "I believe you."

Yu Yuejin emphasized: "You must keep this money for yourself! You can't give it to your parents anymore!"

"Well! I know."

Yu Yuejin narrowed his eyes and looked at her: "Cui Cui, this is the last time I trust you. If you give this money to your parents again, I will be in charge of our family's money from now on."

Chen Xiaocui's eyes flickered for a moment, and then she gritted her teeth and agreed: "I promise!"

"it is good!"

The conflict between the two seemed to be resolved in these few sentences.

Yu Yuejin decided to believe again.

It's just that he can no longer be as devoted to the Yue family as he was before.

the next day.

Before Yu Yuejin went out, he took a piece of bacon and a basket of eggs to Aunt Lanhua's house and asked her to come to his house to accompany Cuicui every day during the day.

Aunt Lanhua happily agreed.

Yu Yuejin went to the county with peace of mind. Before going to work, he went to the post office and sent the remaining 50 yuan in his pocket to the capital.

He earned 100 yuan from this trip, half of which he gave to his mother for medical treatment and half to Cuicui.

-

Beijing.

An Nian looked at the remittance slip from the post office helplessly.

"Why did Yuejin send money again?"

Li Youmei was sitting in the yard with her hands busy. She had recently learned how to hook woolen shoes with the aunts in the alley.

After the woolen shoes are hooked up, they can be sold to the supply and marketing cooperative, and they charge [-] cents a pair.

The wool and soles are provided by the supply and marketing cooperative, and the patterns are also given drawings for reference, while innovation is encouraged.

Li Youmei used to know how to knit sweaters in Lu'an Village, but now she has switched to crocheting woolen shoes, which is the same as before. She learned how to crochet a few lines by the old sisters.

She wanted to make this money, and after talking to An Nian, An Nian also supported her.

It's not that An Nian really lacks the money, it's just that the elderly need to have a sense of presence. They are more likely to have random thoughts and get sick when they are idle.

Li Youmei laughed after hearing An Nian's words.

"That's just right for buying medicine. Do I need to replace my medicine with new ones?"

An Nian closed the courtyard door with a smile, sat next to her, and helped to curl the yarn unskillfully.

The wool comes in bundles and needs to be rolled into balls before use.

"You don't need to buy your medicine. I can just go to the master and get it."

Li Youmei laughed: "You can't keep getting old Qiao's herbs. I feel so embarrassed when I see him now."

"It's okay, the herbs from Master are of high quality."

An Nian planted a lot of herbs in the backyard, and the growth was gratifying, but she didn't dare to be too alarming. In the short term, she could only go to the master's place to collect wool.

Qiao Yongsheng is now based in the capital. After his disciples and grandchildren learned about it, they often came to visit him, and most of the things they brought with them were precious medicinal herbs.

Of course, An Nian also met many senior brothers and sisters who had only heard of his name but never met him in person, and he immediately sighed at the huge size of the division.

The two of them were talking and working.

After a while, Yu Zhengjun came back carrying a gas tank.

Their family now cooks every day and uses up gas very quickly. Basically, they need to replace a can of gas every month. It is 10% cheaper to carry the old can and replace it with a new one.

When Yu Zhengjun took over the curly yarn ball, An Nian was left free.

Seeing that she was bored, Li Youmei found a nylon thread and let her play with it.

At noon, Qian Donglai came to the door with a glowing face in anticipation of the meeting without leaving the capital.

"It's stable! Nian Nian, the policy is stable!"

An Nian raised his head in surprise, put down the crochet hook, poured him a cup of tea and pushed it over.

"Fat brother, congratulations."

"Hahahaha, congratulations! Congratulations! You also have a share in our clothing business!"

After receiving the news that he had been waiting for for so long, Qian Donglai was completely in a daze!I can't stop the smile on my face!

He picked up the teacup and drank it in one go.

"As we expected before, the country is really going to open up! I heard that this time it is just a pilot project, and only a few coastal cities will be used. Only if the pilot effect is good will it be promoted nationwide.

Nian Nian, I’m going to Shencheng!There are so many opportunities there! "

He was so excited that he was speechless, but no one in the yard disliked him, they were all happy for him.

Qian Donglai talked for a long time, and then stopped embarrassedly when his mouth was dry.

An Nian smiled and poured him another cup of tea.

Qian Donglai took a sip and looked down at the half-hooked shoes in An Nian's hand.

"What design is this? Can you show it to me?"

"Okay." An Nian nodded, "I hooked it up casually. The woolen thread was provided by the supply and marketing cooperative. I'm not very good at craftsmanship now and don't dare to waste it, so I used the nylon thread at home to practice. There is only a small roll of nylon thread. , there is no way to turn them into winter shoes, they can only be designed as summer slippers.”

There are generally two types of woolen shoes in winter. Those with heel covering are similar to cotton shoes, while those without heel covering are like slippers.

No matter which shoe it is, it consumes a lot of wool.

The nylon thread at home was not enough, so An Nian simply changed his mind and hooked up a summer slipper. He only needed a small piece and stretched it in a straight line across the sole. It was simple and easy to use.

Qian Donglai looked at the slippers over and over again, thinking for a while, and his eyes gradually brightened.

"This is a great idea! I heard that people in Guangzhou like to wear slippers the most. They wear slippers all year round. Even if it snows outside, they can wear slippers to step on!"

really?

The three members of the Yu family in the yard looked over in surprise.

Qian Donglai nodded with a smile: "That's it! I asked someone to ask. Niannian, can you make a few pairs of these slippers? I'll take them over and see if I can sell them."

"Are you sure?" An Nian asked hesitantly.

"Sure! Don't look at how everyone seems to be poor now. In fact, it's still a seller's market. Based on my years of... ahem... experience, as long as there is goods, I can definitely sell them!"

Qian Donglai patted his chest and promised.

"I'll pay you [-] cents for a pair. Niannian, can you make me a hundred pairs?"

Fat Brother is really brave. He dares to place an order for a hundred pairs even though he doesn’t know anything yet. He is very gambling.

But An Nian knew that he was rich. One hundred pairs of nylon slippers only cost 50 yuan, which Fat Brother could afford.

"Okay! When do you want it?"

"In three days! I will set off in three days."

"no problem."

An Nian is not fast, but Li Youmei can. She can make dozens of pairs of simple slippers like Hook in a day.

Fat Brother was left to have lunch by himself. After he left, the family of three started to work.

The three people worked together, and one hundred pairs of slippers were prepared and successfully delivered the next night.

Fat Brother paid 50 yuan, and An Nian gave it to Li Youmei to keep. The couple paid the most.

Qian Donglai left the capital. Qiao Shi wanted to go with him, but he persuaded him not to.

"The Shencheng side has just been opened, so we can't guarantee public security. I'll go there and test the water first. Once you've established a firm foothold, you can come back."

He can travel all over the country by himself, but if he takes Qiao Shi with him, he will be at a loss.

Qiao Shi could only agree and agreed to send him a design draft every half month. After the finished product was produced, Qian Donglai would send it back to the capital to her.

Friends around him have started their own careers one after another, and An Nian is happy for them.

Seeing that New Year's Day of 1979 was coming soon, An Nian missed Yu Luyuan who was on a mission.

Maybe there was a connection between the two of them. On the morning of the last day of 1978, An Nian glanced towards the door while taking the herbs out to dry.

The next second, he bumped into Yu Luyuan who opened the door and came in.

She was stunned for a moment, put down the dustpan in her hand, and ran over.

Yu Luyuan's handsome brows and eyes instantly brought a smile, he closed the door behind his back, took two steps forward, bent down and hugged her.

There were only two of them in the front yard, and An Nian was so bold that he stood on tiptoes and kissed her directly.

They couldn't wait to cling to each other, intertwined, and clung tightly to the man's shoulders with their hands, and most of their bodies leaned into his broad chest.

After a long time, An Nian reluctantly stroked his eyebrows and panted slightly against his forehead.

"Yuanyuan, you've been gone for a long time..."

"Well, we made a temporary detour."

Yu Luyuan couldn't say more about military secrets. He only measured her waist with his broad hands and tightened them with some dissatisfaction.

"Slim again."

An Nian rubbed against him, her voice soft and waxy: "I miss you. I can't eat well and sleep well."

She was used to sleeping in a man's arms and feeling his body temperature.

Especially since it is still winter, An Nian's hands and feet are cold. She has long been accustomed to men helping to keep her warm. No amount of hot water bottles can make up for the sudden absence of such a useful human-shaped heater.

"Are mom and dad home?"

Yu Luyuan asked restrainedly.

An Nian's eyes were moist, with an innocent and charming feeling, which made Yu Luyuan's heart beat faster.

Her voice was low and soft, ringing close to his ear.

"No, they went out to buy groceries."

"it is good."

Yu Luyuan responded, and with a little force of his hands, he picked An Nian up.

He was so strong that he hugged his wife like a pillow. He could use his strong arms as a chair for her to sit on.

Yu Luyuan reached the master bedroom in a few steps, pressed An Nian on the bed and kissed her for a long time.

He didn't know when his parents would come back, and he didn't dare to make too much of a fuss. He originally just wanted to kiss him and be done with it, but the girl under him was too cooperative.

Their clothes were messy and their breathing was messy. They pressed each other's lips to restrain further impulses.

"Huh? Why isn't Nian Nian there? The dustpan has not been put away. Why are the herbs placed where the sun can't shine?"

Li Youmei's surprised voice came from outside the door.

"It's okay, I'll change its position."

Yu Zhengjun's calm voice came, followed by footsteps.

The sound of Li Youmei's footsteps came to the inner courtyard.

An Nian was a little nervous, stretched out her hand to block the movement of the man on her body, and pulled down her clothes with force.

When the two of them were intimate, their whole bodies were filled with heat. Only when their skin was exposed to the air did they feel a hint of coolness.

"Don't be afraid, I locked the door."

Yu Luyuan gasped, and his hoarse voice rang in her ears.

An Nian breathed a sigh of relief, but still grabbed his hand to prevent him from moving again.

"Mom and dad are back, let's get out quickly."

Yu Luyuan suddenly buried himself in her neck, took several deep breaths, and it took a long time for him to say a word.

"it is good……"

An Nian blushed and moved his legs: "Put it down first."

Yu Luyuan released the hand holding her legs, stood up slowly, brushed his sweaty short hair with his right hand, lowered his head and smiled at An Nian, who had moist eyes.

"Is there hot water in the house?"

"Have."

There is a bathroom in their house, which is standard in the master bedroom. It can also be used for bathing, but it requires extra heating of hot water every time.

An Nian habitually keeps two thermos bottles in the room. Hot water is available 24 hours a day. It is just in use now.

Yu Luyuan took the thermos bottle to the bathroom.

An Nian tidied herself up, opened the door and went out.

"Mom, are you back?"

Li Youmei smiled at her: "I saw A Yuan's backpack. Is he back?"

A blush appeared on An Nian's face. No wonder her mother stopped walking this way just now. It turned out that she found Yu Luyuan's backpack.

With her old wisdom, she must have already guessed what would happen in the room, and now her eyes are a little narrow.
