After Transmigrating into a Novel, She Struck It Rich in the 1980s

Jiang Xia stayed up all night reading a retro-themed novel. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself as the male protagonist’s doomed ex-wife in that very story.

Her storyline began ...

Chapter 768 He came to propose marriage

Zhang Rui didn't look at Li Qiuying, but only asked Li Qiufeng: "Little cousin, is this comrade your sister?"

Li Qiufeng nodded: "Yes, my cousin."

Zhang Rui knew that Li Qiufeng had two cousins, one of whom was married and the other was still unmarried. He glanced at Li Qiuying politely and said, "Hello, cousin. I am Zhang Rui, and Zhou Chenglei is my fourth brother."

Li Qiuying's heart was pounding: "Hello, hello."

Zhang Rui didn't look at her after greeting her. He lowered his head to look at Li Qiufeng and asked with a smile: "Little cousin, didn't you say that there are a lot of bamboo shoots and mushrooms in the mountains of your hometown? When will you take me to the mountains to dig bamboo shoots and pick mushrooms?"

Li Qiufeng: "You came here just to dig bamboo shoots and pick mushrooms? Don't you have to visit relatives during the New Year?"

Zhang Rui looked at Li Qiufeng's beautiful face and said, "No, I'm here to pick flowers, phoenix flowers."

Li Qiufeng: “…”

Li Qiufeng told him that she was born in the season when the phoenix flowers bloomed, so she was named Qiufeng.

Li Qiufeng blushed again: "Phoenix flowers don't bloom at this time, they have to wait until May to bloom."

Zhang Rui looked at her shy face and smiled: "Really? Then I can come back when the flowers bloom. Do you have any pheasants or rabbits on the mountain? Did you catch them with birds?"

He came this time to confirm the relationship.

It was just to confirm the relationship. As for marrying her, she said she wanted to study and didn't want to get married so early, so he could wait.

He just felt that he couldn't continue without a name or a share!

Li Qiuying rushed to say, "Yes, Comrade Zhang Rui, I will take you there tomorrow. I have a pneumatic gun at home."

In those days, bird hunting and guns were not banned yet. Some villagers had pneumatic guns at home and would go up the mountain to hunt some prey. The most common prey were small birds.

Air guns are also known as air guns and can also be purchased in some state-owned stores.

Zhang Rui: "Don't bother cousin, my little cousin can take me there. I know my little cousin very well."

Li Qiufeng: “…”

At this time, my second aunt came out of the kitchen with a smile: "It's time to eat!"

When she saw Zhang Rui, she smiled even more brightly: "Hey, Xiao Rui, why are you here?"

"I came to visit you, my second uncle, and my grandparents."

Second aunt's smile became even brighter: "Come in and sit down to eat and try our hometown dishes. Come, go in with second aunt and sit down."

"Okay." Zhang Rui responded with a smile.

In the past few days, Zhang Rui picked up and dropped off the mother and daughter after their night shift every day. His second aunt understood his thoughts.

He also confessed his feelings to his daughter, but she did not agree and said she needed to think about it.

Zhang Rui's family background is too good, so it's normal for his daughter to feel that she is not worthy of him and to have concerns.

My second aunt was also a little worried that Zhang Rui’s family background was too good.

But as a mother, she certainly hopes that her daughter can marry well.

So she was truly happy, but also worried. After all, she was not a good match for the man, and it was not easy to bear the grievances of marrying into a wealthy family.

In an unequal relationship, the one who compromises is always the weaker party.

But poor days bring more troubles and pain.

And my second aunt asked Zhou Chenglei.

Zhou Chenglei only said: The person is trustworthy, the three generations of direct relatives are all good, and the Zhang family is very large.

My second aunt knew that what he didn’t say was that the family was large and the relationships were complicated and difficult to deal with.

However, after getting married, you can follow the army and live in the barracks as a couple. Life is simple and you only need to go home during holidays to deal with the situation.

If I don’t have vacation time, I can’t go home for the New Year.

Zhou Chenglei had been in the army for many years and was only able to go home for the Chinese New Year in one year.

This means that this marriage has no conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, no conflicts between sisters-in-law, and the man has a promising future. It is simply perfect! As a mother, she doesn't want to miss such a good opportunity for her daughter.

It doesn't matter who you marry. If you marry someone of equal status, you won't have to suffer. There won't be complicated family relationships to deal with. Poor couples have many worries and suffer more!

Why not marry someone good? So my second aunt was worried, but she was more happy.

She is more worried because she married a poor man!

You should be more realistic, especially when choosing a partner. This really concerns your lifelong happiness, so don't act rashly.

My second aunt is an experienced person and knows that if you marry a poor man, no matter how good he is to you, your life will be hard most of the time.

So when you have a choice, you must choose the best. There is no other choice.

During the meal, the second aunt arranged Zhang Rui to sit next to Zhou Chenglei.

Li Qiuying wanted to sit next to Zhang Rui.

The second aunt immediately pulled her away, "Xiaoying, this is Xiaofeng's seat. You are not familiar with Comrade Zhang Rui, let Xiaofeng greet him."

Li Qiuying: “…”

The second aunt pulled her stupid daughter over and pressed her on a stool.

Then he sat next to his daughter, and Li Qiuyue had to sit next to her second aunt.

Grandpa and grandma greeted Zhang Rui with a smile: "Xiao Rui, try our dishes. I don't know if you can get used to it, but our food here is relatively light. The dishes in Beijing are saltier than ours, and our dishes are sweeter."

Zhang Rui smiled and said, "It looks delicious. I often go to your house for dinner in Beijing, so I'm used to it. The dishes cooked by my little cousin and second aunt are delicious. So, I missed it so much that I followed my fourth brother here. Coming here, the second aunt's cooking skills should be more authentic, right?"

Grandpa laughed: "Then eat more!"

Second aunt also laughed and said, "Look which dishes were made by Xiaofeng and me."

Zhang Rui smiled and pointed them out directly, and none of them were wrong.

Most people who can achieve his position are very meticulous.

The cousin's wife was sitting next to Jiang Xia. She had just sat next to Jiang Xia on purpose.

Didn't the second wife help Jiang Xia take care of the kids? But this time when she came home, she actually planned to build a house after the New Year? How much money did she make?

She originally thought that she was just going to take care of the child. Her mother-in-law asked her to do so, but she was not happy about it. She didn't expect that it would not only be about taking care of the child, but she could also open a clothing store with Jiang Xia to sell clothes.

If she had known this earlier, she would have gone with her sister-in-law.

Sitting next to Jiang Xia, she also wanted to go to Beijing with her daughter after the Chinese New Year.

However, it was not appropriate to talk about this during the meal, so she just tried to get closer to Jiang Xia first.

Now we see that Li Qiufeng not only found a job selling clothes, but also seems to have found a good partner?

But this guy doesn't look like a 20-year-old rookie. He should be around 25, right?

Should I get married at 25?

She asked in a low voice: "Xiao Xia, is this Comrade Xiao Rui A Lei's comrade-in-arms?"

Jiang Xia nodded: "Yeah."

The cousin's wife asked again, "Is he still in the army?"

Jiang Xia didn't like this cousin's wife, and said coldly: "Yeah."

“It should be a very high position, right?”

"Captain."

The eldest cousin's wife took a breath and asked, "Is he married?"

Isn't this another Zhou Chenglei? He got married when he was almost 30.

Jiang Xia: “Not yet.”

Jiang Xia knew what she was thinking. She had also seen through Li Qiuying's little thoughts just now.

She interrupted her sister-in-law's fantasy: "Xiaofeng and he are seeing each other. He came here today to propose marriage."

Cousin’s wife: “…”

Very good, all the good things have been taken by the people from the second house! (End of this chapter)
