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

In the blink of an eye, Yu Luyuan's visit to his relatives was coming to an end.

For the past 20 days, An Nian has been recuperating Li Youmei's body, and the weakness caused by her stomach bleeding has completely disappeared.

The couple also began to prepare to return to the 819 Military Region.

"You should take good care of yourselves outside, especially Nian Nian, who is about to take the college entrance examination.

Although the college entrance examination is very important, your body is equally important. You must not sacrifice your health for the college entrance examination. "

Before An Nian and the others left, Li Youmei gave her earnest instructions.

"Mom, don't worry, I will take good care of myself. I will also take good care of Yuanyuan." An Nian nodded obediently.

Li Youmei glanced at her, then turned to look at her eldest son who was carrying things to the truck.

"What are you doing to take care of him? He is very strong. He can lift hundreds of kilograms of things without even breathing heavily."

An Nian nodded amusedly: "Yes, Mom, you are right! The amulets given to you and Dad should be worn close to your body, and you don't need to take them off when taking a shower."

"Mom knows."

Li Youmei held her with one hand and touched the pendant hanging around her neck through her clothes with the other hand, feeling very reluctant to part with it.

"The sweater mom knitted for you still lacks two sleeves. Alas, if you had left two days later, you could have worn the sweater right away."

"It's okay." An Nian hugged her arm and kissed her intimately. "Mom, when you finish knitting, just send it to me. When I put it on, I'll find a photo studio to take pictures, and then send the pictures back to you and dad to see!"

"Hahaha, you are the most considerate!" Li Youmei was amused by her, "Then you must remember it. Then my mother will rely on the photos to see things and miss people."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law held hands until An Nian was pulled into the bed of the truck by Yu Luyuan, and they reluctantly separated.

"Mom, please go back quickly! It's windy outside!"

An Nian stuck his head out and shouted loudly to Li Youmei, who was still looking at him.

"Okay..." Li Youmei wiped her eyes and nodded repeatedly.

Yu Yuejin borrowed the truck from the transportation team. As long as he paid for the gas, he could take An Nian and Yu Luyuan directly to the train station without having to go to the county to transfer.

-

Two days later.

"Ouch! Nian Nian, you are finally back?!"

Ji Xiulian, who was next door, heard the sound and ran out quickly. Seeing the couple packed with bags, she stepped forward to help.

"I'll carry a bag for you!"

"It's okay, Sister Xiulian, it's not heavy."

"Isn't that good? It's easy for me to carry it." Ji Xiulian smiled broadly.

An Nian couldn't resist her, so he gave her the bag in his hand.

"I come here to clean your yard every day. It's still clean. You just need to clear the dust in the bedroom and you can move in directly."

20 days is not a long time. At most, there is only some dust in the room and a little tidying up will be enough.

The weeds in the yard grew very fast in spring. Without Ji Xiulian's help, An Nian would have been swamped up to his knees by the weeds when he opened the courtyard door.

"Thank you, Sister Xiulian. Don't cook at home tonight, come over and eat!"

An Nian greeted with a smile.

"Of course! I won't be polite to you. You two have just come back, and you probably have to clean up. If you need help, just call me."

Ji Xiulian helped carry the things into the yard and put them down, then exited in time.

An Nian looked at Yu Luyuan and smiled: "I'll open the door."

"it is good."

Yu Luyuan carried two large bags in his hands, containing the clothes of the two of them. They looked bulging, but in fact they were not heavy.

Most of the tomes are piled up in An Nian's space.

After opening the door, An Nian directly hit the dust-cleaning charm. The dust inside fell directly under the desk as if it had been blown by the breeze and gathered again.

"Okay, let's go in."

Yu Luyuan stretched out his hand and flicked her forehead: "Don't use energy randomly. You just used up all the energy at home. It took two days on the road to save it."

In order to make the amulet, An Nian almost drained the spiritual power in his little golden elixir. Fortunately, he had stocked up on giant jade in advance, otherwise it would be difficult to relax.

After being flicked by him, An Nian shrank his neck and raised his head to smile fawningly at him.

"Okay, I'll be obedient."

She turned around and got a bucket and a broom, and packed away the dust and garbage under the desk.

"Put it down and don't move. I'll clean it."

Yu Luyuan held her hand and dragged her to a stool to sit down.

"Sit down and read."

An Nian was stunned: "A race against time?"

When I go to college, my husband is more interested in me!

Yu Luyuan laughed and patted her head: "Read the little book!"

"Ok."

Yu Luyuan worked quickly and put the clothes in the luggage bag into the cabinets by category. He also filled the table, chairs, and bed boards with water and wiped them.

After he had tidied up the small living room and kitchen, and the bed boards were dry, he quickly put down the bedding.

Seeing how busy he was, An Nian could no longer read the little book he was holding in his hand, so he simply put out all the things piled up in the space.

All kinds of local specialties brought at home, such as dried mushrooms, dried fungus, pumpkin cakes, dried eggplants, etc., are all put in the kitchen cabinets.

Divide the remaining white radish and eggplant into half directly. After cleaning, you can eat them tonight.

The elders always love them. When An Nian and Yu Luyuan went out, Yu Zhengjun went out with a hoe without saying a word. When he came back, the basket was full of vegetables and fruits.

The vegetables at home are juicier and crispier!

An Nian couldn't refuse, and he didn't want to refuse, so he just loaded it all up and brought it with him.

This is full of love!

"Just braise the eggplants, right? Do I peel them?"

An Nian held a small stool and sat under the faucet. He held a kitchen knife in his right hand and pinched the eggplant in his left hand.

The braised eggplants in Lu'an Village are made by spirally turning them with a kitchen knife to slice off the eggplants little by little. Each eggplant is shaped into an irregular triangle and is very small. It is very delicious after braised.

Although An Nian also likes to eat eggplant boxes, she still thinks the braised eggplant is the most delicious!

Yu Luyuan also came over and washed his hands: "Okay, you can cut six pieces. I'll go out and see if I can still buy meat and ribs."

"it is good."

Wait until An Nian has peeled the eggplant and cut the radish.

Yu Luyuan also came back carrying meat.

"The logistics department bought a few sheep today. It was a coincidence that I went there and brought back a sheep scorpion."

“Not bad! The mutton is delicious!”

The logistics department of Unit 819 is very good at selecting and buying meat. An Nian has eaten the mutton they bought before. It had no smell at all and was very tender!I seem to have heard that they are some kind of Tan sheep, which are specially supplied to the army and cannot be bought outside.

"Okay, I'll stew the meat now."

Yu Luyuan entered the kitchen with a smile.

"Stew the lamb, scorpion and white radish in a pot, then make sweet and sour pork ribs, add your washed eggplant and Chinese cabbage, and make kelp soup, it should be enough for the dog to eat."

Two meat dishes, two vegetarian dishes and one soup, they don’t look like much, but the portions of each one are huge!

"They will also come over tomorrow night."

When he returned to the army to visit relatives, he naturally wanted to invite all his friends over for a drink.

"It's good. We just have the opportunity to have a dinner together."

In the evening, the courtyard gradually filled with people.

Ji Xiulian brought a bowl of braised pork and added another dish to them.

"cheers!"

A group of grown men drank white wine, while An Nian and Ji Xiulian drank rice wine. Even Fat Ya had a small bowl in front of her, with some kelp soup poured into the bowl as a drink.

The men had endless topics to talk about while drinking. After An Nian was full, he walked to the side with Fat Ya and Ji Xiulian in his arms.

While Ji Xiulian was feeding Fat Ya, she lowered her voice and gossiped with An Nian.

"Nian Nian, in the past few days since you left, a lot of things have happened in our military region."

"tell me the story?"

An Nian was quite curious. He reached out and hooked Fat Ya's hat to prevent her from running away, while looking at Ji Xiulian curiously.

Ji Xiulian took the opportunity to stuff her daughter with a big mouthful of rice.

"Just Qiao Manting and her two sisters, they got a bunch of skin care products from nowhere recently, saying they want to make a lot of money with the military dependents in the family area."

"How to earn?"

"It seems like we are going to open a beauty salon or something...which includes hairdressing and skin care..."

An Nian raised his eyebrows slightly: "It's pretty good. They are quite brave enough to do it."

It's now mid-1979, and the designated deep city is booming. Individual merchants no longer need to hide. The black market in the early years has also turned from dark to bright, and more and more people are setting up stalls on the roadside.

In 1978, there were only a few brave people who could not survive to explore market experience.

By 1979, someone had already eaten his first bite of meat and began to attract relatives and friends around him.

Yuncheng can be regarded as keeping up with the times. When An Nian came back this time, he had already seen the prosperous street stall culture.

"Everyone is still setting up street stalls, and they are already thinking about opening a store."

It is definitely impossible to set up a street stall in a beauty salon. No woman would want to lie on the side of the road and have someone apply a facial mask to her.

An Nian couldn't help but laugh as he thought about it.

"You also think their idea is a good one?"

Ji Xiulian looked at her hesitantly, forgetting to move the spoon in her hand.

Fat Ya, who was originally avoiding eating and unwilling to eat, saw that her mother no longer stuffed the food, but instead came over on her own initiative.

An Nian relaxed in time, allowing her to bite the spoon.

At the same time, he responded to Ji Xiulian's words: "It sounds very good. I'm not sure how effective it will be when implemented. Which skin care products are they using?"

The most important thing in beauty salons is that the products must be qualified, followed by technology, and finally the boss.

"I heard it's a brand from Hong Kong City. Qiao Manting and the others bought it through their connections..."

"When they opened this store, almost all military wives became shareholders, each investing 100 yuan."

"But I didn't participate..."

An Nian looked at her and smiled.

"It's okay, Sister Xiulian. Although I had some trouble with Qiao Jingjing, I have no conflict with Qiao Manting.

If they invite you to start a joint venture, you can agree. "

Ji Xiulian stuffed the last spoonful of rice into her daughter's mouth, held the empty bowl in her hand, and looked at An Nian.

"If you don't participate, I won't participate either."

An Nian felt warm in her heart. She was not short of money. Not to mention what she had earned in the stock market of country M at that time. Now Anxin Kangtang Pill and Xiaohuichun Dan would bring her a lot of dividends every year.

However, she knew that Ji Xiulian did not have much money.

Camp Commander Liu's salary is not high.

Unlike Yu Luyuan, he leads orthodox soldiers. There is no war now. At best, it is just exercises, and the battle achievements cannot be accumulated.

The couple has no additional source of income and has to raise a daughter.

An Nian had met Ji Xiulian's mother-in-law before. They were not a light-hearted family, and they probably needed Ji Xiulian's help.

Even so, Ji Xiulian rejected the olive branch from Qiao Manting and the sisters just because Qiao Jingjing and herself had conflicts.

An Nian thought for a while and asked, "Sister Xiulian, have you ever thought about starting a business?"

"Ah?" Ji Xiulian was stunned for a moment, "You mean to open a shop like the Qiao sisters?"

"Ah."

"What am I selling?" Ji Xiulian was a little at a loss and her eyes shifted. "Actually, what I've thought about... is just that I don't know what I can do."

She originally had a temporary position, but after she became pregnant and gave birth to a child, she could no longer take care of it and had to transfer it to someone else.

Seeing that Fat Ya was already four years old and could be sent to the military district nursery, Ji Xiulian actually wanted to find a stable job for herself.

“Jobs are so tight now that in order to allow the educated youth who have returned to the city to settle down, the older generation has stepped back to make room for themselves.

The factory doesn't want people like me who have no experience and are relatively old. "

Looks like she's tried it.

An Nian thought.

"What if it's selling clothes?"

I dare not say anything else, but An Nian owns a clothing factory in Shencheng.

Yu Shi takes two routes, the high-end route and the general public route.

The high-end line may not be able to take off in Yuncheng for a while, but the mass line can support a clothing store.

"I know where to buy the goods. Once the goods are purchased, you will be responsible for selling them in the store."

The more An Nian thought about it, the more he thought it was a good idea.

"Selling clothes?"

Ji Xiulian tugged at her gray suit nervously.

"Will anyone like me come to buy clothes?"

She really has no confidence in herself.

Especially compared with the Qiao Manting sisters, Ji Xiulian felt that she was just a gray middle-aged woman.

Thinking of Qiao Manting's pretty appearance, Ji Xiulian felt even more ashamed.

"I can't do it...the people who sell clothes look good..."

She had seen the salesmen selling clothes in supply and marketing cooperatives. They were all very energetic and could even draw eyebrows and lips.

"You can dress well too."

An Nian took her hand and said with a smile.

"I just happen to have a set of cosmetics in hand. I'll give it to you to try out later."

Well, the gift given by Third Senior Brother has finally been put to use!

But...she doesn't seem to have any makeup skills?

An Nian's mind turned slightly and he looked up the steps that Qiao Shi used to put on his makeup earlier.

She has an excellent memory and very strong hands-on skills.

Anyway, just follow the steps from memory!

Do it when you think of it!

An Nian bent down and picked up Fatty, who was already squatting on the ground and starting to play in the mud, and strode towards the men who were chatting and drinking around the dinner table.

"Camp Commander Liu, hold your fat girl well by yourself."

Liu Zhenghui was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously stretched out his arms to hug his daughter: "Okay... okay."

Yu Luyuan raised his head and looked at An Nian.

An Nian smiled sweetly at him and said nothing, only turning to Ji Xiulian.

"Sister Xiulian, put the bowl on the table! Let's go into the room and talk!"
