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

Entering the room, An Nian first moved the stool in front of the mirror.

Her wardrobe has a cabinet with a mirror on the upper half, and a stool in front of it, so that you can sit directly in front of it.

"Sister Xiulian, sit down for a while and I'll take out the cosmetics."

"it is good."

Ji Xiulian sat down on the stool awkwardly and looked at her eagerly.

An Nian dragged out his suitcase and took out the cosmetics from the space under the cover of the bed.

"These are all sent by my senior brother. I have never used them before. I just want to give them a try now."

An Nian felt that these things were probably given to Master Yan by others, and he gave them to him.

The suit has everything, it’s very comprehensive, unlike straight men who can get everything.

"Sister Xiulian, please put some lotion on your whole face first."

An Nian put the things on the small table next to her and sat down next to her.

After waiting for about a minute, I reached out and applied the patch. I felt that the lotion had been partially absorbed and it was just right for applying makeup, so I applied foundation on her.

Learning from Qiao Shi's technique, An Nian worked on it little by little.

When it was over, Ji Xiulian looked at herself in the mirror and was speechless.

"This... is this really me?"

"Of course, I just trimmed your eyebrows, evened out your skin tone, and put on lipstick, that's all."

An Nian looked at the mirror side by side with her, wiped the lipstick that spilled on her lips with her fingers, and was extremely satisfied.

"This will make the whole makeup look better. Sister Xiulian, can you feel it, is there anything else that looks awkward?"

Ji Xiulian reached out to touch her face, raised her hand halfway and put it down again. She was almost stunned when she looked at herself in the mirror with red lips and white teeth.

Her facial features are actually very regular. She has a wide and round face that is most popular among the older generation nowadays. She is festive and prosperous.

But such facial features and face shape also mean that she has nothing to do with beauty, especially after giving birth to a child, her figure began to become rounder.

So that every time she stood with Qiao Manting, Ji Xiulian felt that she was a weed on the roadside, and her only function was to make Qiao Manting more beautiful and bright.

"I feel very good……"

"Really? I think it looks good too!" An Nian laughed and put down the powder puff in his hand. "Come on, sister Xiulian, let's go out and show them!"

"No...no need..."

Ji Xiulian's ears turned red and she covered herself up, not wanting to go out.

"You will be the proprietress of a clothing store in the future, now you have to show yourself off!"

An Nian encouraged her and pulled her out.

Ji Xiulian actually felt a little moved in her heart. She said no, but walked honestly to the yard.

In the courtyard, the men were still chatting animatedly.

It was inconvenient for Liu Zhenghui to eat while holding the child in his arms. From time to time he wanted to look at the door, hoping that his wife could come out and rescue him quickly.

It didn't matter at this glance, I immediately saw a completely different daughter-in-law from the past!

He was truly stunned.

Liu Zhenghui took a while to come to his senses, picked up his daughter, stood up, walked to Ji Xiulian, and said with a smile.

"You look good like this."

Ji Xiulian stopped and lowered her head shyly: "Is it really good-looking?"

"nice."

Others heard their conversation and looked over.

Men don't know much about makeup. Except for Liu Zhenghui, everyone else only thinks that Ji Xiulian's skin seems to have gotten better.

"Give me the child."

Ji Xiulian was still a little embarrassed, so she stepped forward to take her daughter in a covert manner, and quickly returned to the room.

An Nian laughed happily and followed in.

When Ji Xiulian and her family of three returned, An Nian gave her this newly opened set of cosmetics.

"I have another set."

Ji Xiulian was a little embarrassed: "This is quite expensive, isn't it? How much does it cost? I'll give it to you."

"No need. When your clothing store opens and you make money, just give me two sets of clothes."

Favor is something that comes and goes between you and me.

Ji Xiulian no longer struggled with her: "Okay! Don't say two sets, twenty sets are no problem!"

"Then I'll send a telegram to Shencheng tomorrow."

"it is good!"

The two hit it off immediately, and the clothing store business was implemented.

After Ji Xiulian returned home, she probably discussed it with Camp Commander Liu, and their family came up with 1000 yuan for the cost.

While the entire military compound was discussing the beauty salon opened by Qiao Manting, no one knew that An Nian and Ji Xiulian had also completed preparations for a clothing store.

Ji Xiulian was a native of Yuncheng after all, so she quickly found a suitable store.

Today's clothing stores don't need too much decoration. They are not high-end, but focus on being close to the people.

An Nian simply abandoned the luxurious decoration of the Shencheng Yushi specialty store and directly customized a batch of wooden shelves. After hanging them on the wall, clothes were hung up one by one with hangers.

Strive to make every style they promote be seen by potential customers passing by.

-

"Sister Xiulian, what have you been busy with recently? Why don't you come to my shop with everyone?"

On this day, An Nian and Ji Xiulian were walking towards the gate of the military area with a smile, when they bumped into Qiao Manting and her group.

Not to mention, Qiao Manting's beauty salon is quite effective.

The hair of the people in front of me has turned into ringlets.

An Nian looked at their hair that was exactly the same as instant noodles, blinked, and did not speak rashly.

Maybe, this is the trend?

"It's Man Ting." Ji Xiulian also looked over with a smile, "Did you just get your hair permed?"

"Yes, we have introduced two new hair perming machines in our store, and the permed hair is curly and smooth.

Sister Xiulian, do you want to go to our store to apply for a card tomorrow?I promise to give you the biggest discount! "

Qiao Manting reached out to curl the ends of her hair and turned to look at An Nian.

"Comrade An Nian, are you coming too? Summer is about to enter. Your hair will look better if it is curled."

An Nian's hair has grown to a little above her waist. It is typically black, long and straight. Sometimes she feels that long hair is too troublesome, so she will just tie it up.

She originally wanted to cut it short, but Yu Luyuan was unwilling. In order to preserve An Nian's beautiful hair, he was even willing to wash her hair every day after get off work.

An Nian reached out and touched his hair.

This is my Yuanyuan treasure.

"No, thank you Comrade Manting. I still prefer straight hair."

"Oh, straight hair is so ugly. Curly hair is the trend. The beauties in Hong Kong City all have long, wavy hair. When the wind blows, their hair flies, so beautiful."

The military wife who stood on Qiao Manting's side muttered unhappily.

An Nian smiled and didn't say much.

Beautiful women also look good with straight hair.

Of course, she would not tell such a truth.

Ji Xiulian was afraid that the two parties would get into trouble, so she quickly stepped forward and stood between An Nian and Qiao Manting.

"Man Ting, we both still have something to do, so let's take a step forward."

Qiao Manting nodded.

After watching the two of them walk away, she looked at her companions.

"Ignore them, I'll treat you to tea! I recently received a new box of biscuits, which taste great and are best eaten with black tea."

"Manting, you are the best!"

The army wives walked around Qiao Manting, laughing and joking.

the other end.

An Nian and Ji Xiulian had already arrived at the rented store carrying their things.

"I've already put up the sign. Yushi clothing store NO2. Doesn't it look very impressive?"

The store was scheduled to open in three days. Ji Xiulian was excited and nervous at the same time, so she pulled An Nian and started talking about it.

"Nian Nian, will the store be too empty? If two people come into the store at the same time and want to see different clothes, how can I entertain them?"

“If customers like the same dress, who should I sell it to?”

An Nian was amused by her, and reached out to hold her shoulders, squeezing them comfortingly.

"Sister Xiulian, you can treat two customers who come into the store at the same time. You can let them browse and choose by themselves first."

"If the guests like the same dress, give them one piece each. We have a sufficient supply."

"Don't worry. In the past, when customers went to the supply and marketing cooperative to sell clothes, the salesperson rolled their eyes and they didn't run away. After you open the store, you will definitely provide warm hospitality. There is no way you will lose to the supply and marketing cooperative."

Ji Xiulian nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, Nian Nian, you are right. I will definitely respect the customers as if they are gods!"

An Nian told her the concept of "the customer is God", but Ji Xiulian couldn't remember it and created her own one.

"Let's hang up all the clothes first."

"it is good!"

The two of them were busy in the store, one was responsible for unpacking, the other was ironing the clothes, and hanging them up after ironing.

For the first time, Yushi shipped hundreds of sets of clothes at one time for An Nian's sake, and each set had complete sizes.

For popular sizes such as 160cm, 165cm, and 170cm, we have prepared at least ten sets of one style.

The store is not large, only about 30 square meters. There is a small room for trying on clothes at the back, separated by a curtain.

A counter is placed on the same line, where checkout and rest are gathered.

The front is divided into three parts.

On the two walls, styles are hung flat on the top, and clothes are hanging on the bottom.

The middle part is also hanging, but slightly higher. There is enough space underneath to put some unopened clothes.

This store basically covers the dual functions of display and warehouse.

An Nian came here to help on a voluntary basis. In fact, there wasn't much to do, so he said goodbye and left when the time was almost up.

She was going to school to confirm her registration for the college entrance examination.

-

The end of spring passes in a blink of an eye, and summer comes quietly.

From July 1979 to 7, 7, it was extremely hot for three consecutive days, which also ignited the atmosphere for the college entrance examination.

The entire Yuncheng is welcoming the third college entrance examination since 77. Most of the students taking the college entrance examination this time are young faces.

Those who have taken the college entrance examination several times in a row are basically at the stage of giving up.

The college entrance examination is no longer their only hope of returning to the city, and everyone no longer squeezes the single-plank bridge like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw.

It stands to reason that An Nian is already 20 years old this year. She would look a bit older among a group of high school students aged [-] or [-], but who gave her such a childish face?

An Nian, who was running out of the examination room with a schoolbag slung across his body, was no different from the high school students next to him.

Oh, no, she's obviously prettier.

Along the way, many boys were already casting stunning glances at her.

In the countryside, you can see each other at the age of seventeen or eighteen. Even if the college entrance examination students did not have time to fall in love because they studied hard before, now that the college entrance examination is over, everyone's heart has dropped.

It would be a good thing to have a like-minded partner who can make progress together.

"Classmate, which class are you in? I don't think I've seen you before?"

An Nian was walking out when a young boy ran over.

He looks handsome and has a bookish look when he smiles.

"I'm not from this school, I just came here to take the exam."

An Nian answered with a smile and full of patience.

She looked at the boy in front of her as if she were a junior.

"Ah, that's it..." When the boy saw her looking at him, his face instantly turned red, and his fingers holding the pen and paper became very tight.

"Yes."

An Nian nodded casually. She had already seen Yu Luyuan standing not far away.

An Nian suddenly laughed and raised his hand to wave to him.

Yu Luyuan stood there erect and tall, holding a freshly baked bun in his hand. He originally wanted to wait for her to come over on her own.

His eyes fell on the back of the boy who blocked half of An Nian's body. Yu Luyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, smiled back at An Nian, and walked towards this side with his long legs.

The boy did some mental construction and finally mustered up the courage to speak.

"Classmate, can I know your name? Do you have contact information? I am a student of Yuncheng No. [-] Middle School.

After the college entrance examination results come out, our school will definitely know it as soon as possible. I will help you ask when the time comes! "

"No, thank you." An Nian refused with a smile and said directly without waiting for him to say more. "My lover has come to pick me up."

"Love... love?!" The boy's eyes widened in shock.

"it's me."

Yu Luyuan had already arrived at An Nian's side, stretched out his long arm and sent the bun in his hand over.

After An Nian took it, he unscrewed the thermos cup and fed the warm milk inside to her mouth.

"I am her lover."

The boy raised his head silently, looked at Yu Luyuan's height, and then looked at the badge on his military uniform, the two bars and four stars on his shoulders.

"Excuse me, sorry."

He immediately turned around and ran away.

An Nian bit into the hot meat bun and looked sideways at Yu Luyuan.

"You scared him."

Yu Luyuan put away the expressionless expression on his face, and when he lowered his head to look at An Nian, a gentle smile appeared on his brows.

"He's too timid. Are the buns still hot? I put them in my pocket."

In fact, it's summer now, and the buns won't get cold for a while.

But since his man was trying to please him, An Nian would not attack him and smiled with crooked eyebrows.

"It's still warm. Do you want a bite?"

"it is good."

The two of them had already walked out of the bustling crowd. Yu Luyuan turned his back to the street, held An Nian's left hand, lowered his head and took a bite of the bun.

Just bite on the mark she left before.

An Nian's cheeks turned crimson. After taking back the bun, he lowered his head and started eating.

"Drink some milk."

Yu Luyuan sent the cup over again.

An Nian obediently took a big sip.

While An Nian was busy reviewing, Yu Luyuan's reward finally came.

He was promoted one level, from junior colonel to senior colonel. Such a promotion speed was unprecedented and would be rare in the future.

In fact, it can be regarded as a kind of compensation. Yu Luyuan's achievements are already great enough, but he is too young and cannot expand the management staff, so he can only do this kind of promotion.

A senior colonel, but still a battalion commander, the pressure of the regimental commander is a bit high.

However, the leader of the 819th Regiment is already too old. As long as he serves for a few more years before retiring, he will have completed Lu Yuan's military academy and has improved his qualifications. There is a high probability that this position will be his.
