Quick travel: The poor little thing in the period novel strikes back

Seeing his wife's expression, Tang Ping did not delay and helped Li Meihua, who was about to faint from crying, into the courtyard.

When the two finally returned home, Tang Ping inadvertently mentioned the affairs of the village chief's family during dinner. Tang's father and mother also looked worried. In the end, Tang's mother sighed and explained the reason.

"Xinfang from the village head's family ran away at the end of last year. No one knows where she went. She stole all the money and notes from the family, and also took the official seal of the brigade."

"It's been almost a year now, and there's no news at all. Village Chief Zhao and your Aunt Zhao have tried every possible way to find him, but in the end they didn't find him, and they both fell ill."

"Didn't you know about this on the island? At first, the village chief's family thought Zhao Xinfang had gone to your island to meet her blind date. I heard that they had been exchanging letters for almost a year, and it looked like they were about to get married. But in the end, your village chief sent a telegram, but I didn't hear that Zhao Xinfang had been to the island."

"Hey, what's going on? I used to think Xinfang was a well-behaved and obedient girl, but how come she's become more and more unruly as she gets older?"

After hearing what Liu Lijuan said, Shi Yan and Tang Ping looked at each other and guessed in their hearts why he was like crazy after receiving the letter because of the aunt of the village chief.

If Zhao Gang could be the last ray of hope before, now that they knew there was nothing between them, there would be no way to find Zhao Xinfang.

"Mom, I also know Zhao Xinfang's blind date, Zhao Gang from the next village. But Gangzi told me a long time ago that he never replied to Zhao Xinfang's letters, and he only read the first one Zhao Xinfang sent."

"We came back today because Zhao Gang asked me to return the letter he received and ask the village chief's family to find a good family for Zhao Xinfang."

Neither Liu Lijuan nor Tang Tian had expected this to happen, and their expressions were filled with surprise.

In the end, Tang Jianguo patted the table, reminding everyone to eat quickly and no one should mention Zhao Xinfang's matter again.

During the time at the Tang family, with Tang's father and mother and two half-grown children, Tang An and Tang Tian, ​​little Chenxi had a lot of fun.

When in the army, Shi Yan kept everything clean for little Chenxi. She made clothes for little tigers, little cats, and little rabbits. Shi Yan had nothing to do, so she made one after another. Little Chenxi was pretty, cute, and had fair skin, so she looked very attractive in the clothes.

But during these few days of staying in the village, little Chenxi was carried to the mountains by Tang Ping and Tang Tian every day. When she came back, her body was covered with mud. She didn't look like a little girl at all, but rather like a mud monkey.

It was time for dinner again today. Shi Yan and Tang Ping were sitting in the yard helping Tang's mother wind wool. There was a clang of the yard door and the "little mud monkey" rushed into the yard.

The little guy had just learned to run from Tang An, and was still staggering. He fell before he could reach Shi Yan.

But she didn't cry. Instead, she looked up at Shi Yan pitifully and called out "Mom~~"

The little guy's tone was soft, and his pronunciation was not very clear, but he was very cute. Shi Yan's heart softened when she saw him so cute that she wanted to go forward and hold little Chenxi in her arms.

"Get up yourself. You are so dirty."

Tang Ping saw that his wife's attention was all shifted to his daughter as soon as she appeared. He quickly spoke and looked at the little person with a serious expression.

Little Chenxi was not frightened by her father's serious expression. Instead, she started to giggle when she found that everyone was looking at her. Finally, she rolled on the ground again and rolled to Tang An's feet, where he picked her up.

Mother Tang looked at her granddaughter rolling around and felt only pity in her heart, but when she saw her younger son who was equally dirty, she became so angry that her eyes were not eyes and her nose was not a nose.

"You little bastard, you take your niece to the mountains every day. Look at what you have done to our Xixi. I think you deserve to be punished. Boss, quickly tighten the screws on your brother. Look how dirty these good clothes have become!"

Mother Tang threw away the needle and thread in her hand and grabbed little Chenxi into her arms, and her expression immediately changed.

"Xiao Xixi, grandma will take you to take a bath. Can we wear bunny clothes today?"

Mother Tang didn't need Xiao Chenxi's reply. She smiled and carried the little guy back to the house.

As for Tang An, since my mother had ordered him to tighten the screws, Tang Ping hurriedly took Tang An, who had a bitter face, out of the yard again.

The days back home to visit relatives were warm and peaceful, but Tang Ping's vacation was limited, so the two of them stayed for less than half a month before setting off back to the island.

.............

Reform and opening up in December 1978;

The Revolutionary Committee was abolished in July 1979;

In 1983, individual business was allowed;

In 1984, personal identity cards were issued to replace letters of introduction.

This year marks the tenth year since Shi Yan came to the island, and the eighteenth year since Tang Ping joined the army. Tang Ping is now the highest commander of the troops on Bangchui Island. Compared to the past when he had to go out to sea for training from time to time, Tang Ping now spends most of his time in various meetings.

Although still busy, my life is more stable and I have more opportunities to spend time with my wife and children.

Shi Yan was not completely unsuccessful. In order to allow Xiao Chenxi to live in a good environment, Shi Yan started to improve the planting of vegetables, fruits and melons on the private plot allocated by the army. After her physical functions and supernatural power level were enhanced, Shi Yan used most of her supernatural powers to improve the environmental adaptability of seeds.

It took three years to grow vegetables, fruits and melons that can adapt to the island environment and can be grown on a large scale with high yields.

He also proposed garbage classification to Tang Ping. The island ecosystem is fragile, and only by reducing domestic pollution can the sustainable development of the island be maintained.

Shi Yan directly applied the garbage classification method of later generations at this time. When walking on the street, she could see a classified garbage bin every fifty meters. She was determined to make everyone on the island develop the good habit of garbage classification.

The market on the island was also improved and turned into a comprehensive supermarket. The first floor was used as a vegetable market and the second floor was a store for household goods. The health center was also changed into a small hospital, and the school was divided into four grades, from preschool to high school graduation. The course content was also richer.

The island is in a thriving state. More and more military wives are willing to join the troops, and young people who pass the exams on the island choose to return to the island for employment after graduation.

The good ecological environment, coupled with the unique fruits and vegetables, has attracted many businessmen to see business opportunities. There is no longer only one large ship coming to the island. Many businessmen have jointly invested in building ships, traveling back and forth to do business, and developing the tourism industry.

The development of the island was on the right track, and Shi Yan and Tang Ping, the two people who contributed, became the biggest beneficiaries. For example, Shi Yan made a lot of money from foreign business.

The comfortable and peaceful life on the island made Shi Yan forget that she was the former heroine in the book who died long ago. Until one day, a young soldier in charge of patrolling the dock came to the family compound and said that someone was looking for Tang Ping and asked if he wanted to be brought in.

Tang Ping and Shi Yan were very confused. Who would come to the island to find Tang Ping when it was not a festival? But when they heard that it was a fellow villager and the man even mentioned the names of Tang's father and mother, Tang Ping finally had someone bring the man over.

The person who came was a middle-aged woman in her thirties or forties. Although she had on delicate makeup, it was hard to hide the fatigue between her brows. Her hair was curled into fashionable waves, but the glaring silver threads mixed in the black hair reduced the overall look of her look and made her look quite out of place.

Shi Yan had already recognized the identity of the person who came. It was Zhao Xinfang who had disappeared for many years. However, Tang Ping had no idea who the person in front of him was, so his attitude was very cold and distant.

"I heard you were looking for me. What's going on? If you're here to do business on the island, there are people specifically responsible for that. There's no point looking for me!"

"You are still so cold and heartless to people you don't care about!"

Zhao Xinfang curled his lips in a mocking manner, and then continued:

"I'm Zhao Xinfang. I came here just to see how you two are doing. Now it seems that... "

As expected, Zhao Xinfang didn't say the rest of the words, but her eyes swept across Shi Yan's face, which was still as delicate as it was ten years ago, and she felt a little bitter in her heart.

After nearly ten years of struggle, she had already regretted it. How could she have thought that after traveling to this world, she could easily dominate other people's lives?

"Comrade Zhao, since you have already seen it, please leave. The connection between us was completely severed ten years ago."

Seeing that Tang Ping was still in deep thought, Shi Yan simply asked him to leave.

"Humph! I don't plan to stay any longer, so I wish you two a happy marriage!"

Zhao Xinfang regretted and was sad, and hated herself for being bewitched, but she still didn't want Shi Yan to laugh at her, so she acted very arrogantly, said something, turned around and left.

But at the same time, she felt somewhat relieved. In her understanding, Tang Ping and Shi Yan were the male and female protagonists of this world. She couldn't cheat, and others couldn't do it either. She felt relieved, because it didn't mean that she was so bad, but rather that this was a marriage arranged by God, and she couldn't change it.

Tang Ping was really confused by Zhao Xinfang's coming and going in such a hurry, but Shi Yan could roughly understand her. She just didn't know what happened during the years she disappeared.

The arrival of Zhao Xinfang was just a small episode in the lives of Tang Ping and Shi Yan and did not cause any waves. They continued to live on the island.

They watched little Chenxi grow up, get married and have children. During this period, they also saw Tang's parents and Shi's mother pass away.

Until their faces were covered with wrinkles and their black hair turned silver.

Recently, Tang Ping has found it increasingly difficult to recognize people. He cannot recognize his wife with a head full of white hair, with whom he has been with for most of his life, nor can he recognize his cute granddaughter. He always sits quietly alone on a recliner in the yard, his eyes looking towards the gate, as if he is expecting but also reluctant to leave.

"Nian Nian, Nian Nian, my wife..."

Early that morning, Shi Yan was making breakfast for Tang Ping when she was interrupted by Tang Ping's urgent call from the yard.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Shi Yan walked out in a hurry, and because of her old age, her breathing was still a little heavy.

Tang Ping, who had turned into a handsome old man, heard Shi Yan's voice and quickly looked in the direction of the voice. He was stunned for a moment, then he put on a gentle smile:

"Nian Nian, I'm old, and I'm old too."

It should have been a very ordinary sentence, but it made Shi Yan's heart tremble and her eyes get hot, because as Tang Ping got older, his brain became less and less able to remember things. It has been half a year now and he couldn't recognize people. Now that he suddenly woke up, Shi Yan could probably guess that Tang Ping might not have much time left.

"We've both grown old, but I'm better than you. Look, you're still a soldier, and your health isn't as good as mine!"

Shi Yan joked while holding back tears.

"Yes, I'm really useless." Tang Ping's tone was a little lost, but he suddenly perked up and waved at Shi Yan mysteriously.

"Nian Nian, come quickly, I have something good for you."

Shi Yan walked over obediently and watched Tang Ping open the small wooden box in his arms, revealing medals inside the box.

"Nian Nian, these are all yours. They will accompany you on my behalf from now on!"

Shi Yan couldn't bear to hear Tang Ping say these discouraging words, so she grabbed the wooden box and threw it on the ground:

"Do I need someone to accompany me? I have a daughter and a granddaughter, who needs you as a jerk!"

After Shi Yan finished yelling, she didn't want to look at Tang Ping anymore and went back to the kitchen angrily. However, after returning to the kitchen, Shi Yan's anger was long gone. Instead, she could no longer bear the reluctance in her heart and started to cry.

In fact, in recent years, Tang Ping's health has deteriorated rapidly. Shi Yan wanted to use her supernatural powers to help him, but as Shi Yan got older and her physical functions declined, her supernatural powers also disappeared little by little. The supernatural powers she possesses now can at most make Tang Ping less painful, but cannot save anyone, let alone a dying person.

Just when Shi Yan was crying uncontrollably and felt she couldn't breathe, a skinny, rough hand reached out and gently wiped away the tears on Shi Yan's face. Even though that hand was trembling even when wiping the tears, it was as warm as when she was young.

"Nian Nian, don't cry, don't cry."

"I'm not crying. Just go out and wait. The meal will be ready soon!"

Although she was sad, Shi Yan finally wiped away her tears and continued to cook for Tang Ping.

Tang Ping was in good spirits throughout the day. Except for the time when Shi Yan was cooking, he basically went wherever Shi Yan went, as if nothing had happened. But in the evening, Tang Ping showed symptoms of fainting and shock, and died before he could be sent to the hospital.

Shi Yan is no longer a 28-year-old girl. She behaved very calmly. She washed and changed Tang Ping's clothes, and called her daughter and son-in-law on the other side of the strait. Then she put on the same sweater as Tang Ping and lay down beside the man who had long since died.

The next day, when Tang Chenxi rushed back to the island with her husband and children, she saw only her parents lying on the bed, already dead, and a small wooden box at the head of the bed.

When the wooden box was opened, besides the medal, there was a piece of paper written in a slightly trembling handwriting.

"I love you, just as I love my country, and that will never change."
