Daily Life After Marriage in the 1960s

Upon waking up, Jiang Suihan realized that her life was just as terrible as ever, and she began thinking about how to escape from this miserable existence. Then, an opportunity presented itself.

Chapter 86

Chapter 86

Wang Dahe looked embarrassed, but he was still stubborn and didn't answer: "I really have something urgent to do."

Jiang Weiyu stood in front of him, as if he couldn't leave unless he told the truth: "Do you know that you are not good at lying? When you lie, your eyes become erratic and you can tell you are guilty. Don't hide it. Tell me now. If you don't, you can't leave today. Even if you can escape today, I will go to your dormitory to block you and see how you can avoid me."

Thinking of Jiang Weiyu going to the dormitory to block him, his roommates would have no idea what they would think. He would not be able to explain himself even if he had a hundred mouths. Wang Dahe said helplessly: "As a girl, do you still want to have a reputation?"

Jiang Weiyu glared at him: "You forced me to do that."

Wang Dahe felt what it meant to turn the tables: "Who forced whom? Can't you just pretend you don't know?"

Jiang Weiyu said in a strong tone: "No, tell me now, I have a more powerful trick, don't force me."

Seeing that he couldn't hide the situation any longer, Wang Dahe had no choice but to tell the whole story: "The regiment leader is missing."

"What?"

Jiang Weiyu's eyes widened, and he screamed subconsciously: "What do you mean by missing? Tell me clearly, how did he disappear? When did he disappear? Where did he disappear? Is anyone injured? What are the arrangements of the troops? Did they send anyone to look for him?"

Wang Dahe was bombarded with questions. He was unable to respond for a moment. He calmed down and said, "It's been more than a week. I can't tell you the details. But don't worry too much. There are two other people missing with the captain. With the captain's ability, nothing should happen to him. He may have been delayed by something else."

Jiang Weiyu was very flustered and anxious. Listening to Wang Dahe's bland words of comfort, he couldn't help but get angry: "What do you mean by should? It's a matter of life and death, how can you say such irresponsible words as should? You are my brother-in-law's subordinate. My brother-in-law treats you so well, but you don't worry about him at all. I really misjudged you!"

Wang Dahe was scolded for no reason. He felt wronged and speechless at the same time: "Of course I am worried about the regiment commander. I am also anxious. The political commissar has sent people to look for him. If I hadn't been injured, I would have gone with them."

How could he not be anxious when the regiment commander disappeared? He immediately applied to the army to go together to look for him, but the political commissar disagreed and asked him to come back to recuperate first. He felt so frustrated. It was just a minor injury to his right hand. There was no need to go back to the army to recuperate for a few days.

This time Jiang Weiyu calmed down and pulled the corner of his mouth: "I'm sorry, I was in a bad temper just now. Do you really think my brother-in-law is okay?"

Wang Dahe scratched his head: "Anyway, I feel that the regiment commander is likely to have encountered something and cannot escape for the time being. He is afraid of alerting the enemy, so he has not contacted the troops. Let's wait and see. I will ask the political commissar tomorrow."

It's the same as saying nothing, it's just a guess.

Jiang Weiyu asked, "Do many people know about my brother-in-law's disappearance?"

Wang Dahe: "Not many people know about it. The political commissar forbade it to be spread."

Jiang Weiyu warned Wang Dahe: "Don't show up in front of my sister for the time being. I'm afraid she will be worried if she finds out."

Chenchen is still so young. What if, by some chance, God is blind and his brother-in-law really has an accident, what should my cousin do?

It's so worrying!

Wang Dahe nodded, patted his chest and said, "I will keep my mouth shut."

Jiang Wei Yu rolled her eyes at Wang Dahe. Everything was exposed after just a few threats from her. Why didn't she trust his ability to keep a secret?

Jiang Suihan tapped the bowl in front of Jiang Weiyu with her chopsticks: "What's wrong? You look distracted. Is it about work?"

Jiang Weiyu shook his head and smiled to cover it up: "No, I just suddenly remembered that I seemed to have missed a very important knowledge point in tomorrow's class, and I have to prepare for the class later."

Jiang Huihan glanced at her cousin suspiciously, feeling that she seemed to be hiding something from her, but she didn't want to say it, and she didn't force her. It was normal for the girl to grow up and have her own worries.

Jiang Wei Yu lowered his head to eat, stole a glance at his cousin, and breathed a sigh of relief, but felt guilty and depressed for lying to his cousin, and didn't know if what he did was right.

Jiang Huihan saw that Jiang Weiyu's expression kept changing. It seemed that her cousin had really encountered something troublesome. Looking at her extremely conflicted look, it might be a big deal.

Chenchen was still awake at around seven in the evening. The three siblings of the Jiang family were all around Chenchen, chatting and playing with the children.

Jiang Weiyu suddenly asked: "Sister Suihan, how did you meet your brother-in-law?"

Jiang Suihan pursed her lips and smiled: "I met him once or twice when I was very young, but I haven't seen him since I grew up. Later, he came to my house and said he was willing to marry me. I thought about it for a night and agreed."

Jiang Weiyu was stunned: "That's it? Nothing else?"

Jiang Suihan half-jokingly said, "He's good-looking and a soldier, so I feel safe. I won't be afraid of unemployment in the future. His monthly salary is enough to support the family. The elders of the Xu family also agreed to our marriage. Besides, my dad also wanted me to marry into the Xu family before he left. After weighing the pros and cons, getting married was the best choice for me at the time."

Jiang Wei Yu didn't expect that her cousin would give such an answer. It was unexpectedly rational. It seemed that there was not much personal emotion involved in this marriage. It was more of a most rational decision made under the circumstances at the time.

After a pause, she asked again: "Do you like your brother-in-law?"

Jiang Suihan was stunned for a moment, then curved her lips, her eyebrows and eyes became crescent-shaped: "I like him, didn't I just say that he is good-looking, I am a vulgar person, I like handsome men, and he has a good personality, takes the initiative to help with housework and take care of the children, is not domestically violent, will bring home delicious food for me when he eats out, and will cook brown sugar ginger water for me when he is not feeling well, and is also very patient and considerate to Chenchen."

The more she talked, the more she discovered that Xu Zhao had many good qualities. It turned out that without her realizing it, this person had slowly integrated into every aspect of her life.

Jiang Wei Yu felt like she was being attacked by dog ​​food from all directions and regretted why she asked this question just now. She didn't want to see her cousin show off her affection.

Jiang Suihan looked at Jiang Weiyu in confusion: "You seem a little strange today. You act strangely and ask strange questions."

Jiang Wei Yu's heart sank. Oh no, could it be that his cousin had guessed it?

Jiang Suihan stared at Jiang Weiyu: "You don't have someone you like, do you?"

Jiang Weiyu almost choked on his saliva and shook his head desperately to deny: "No, I didn't."

Jiang Suihan looked doubtful: "Really?"

Jiang Weiyu swore to the heavens: "Absolutely not."

When Jiang Weiyu woke up the next day, he had a pair of big dark circles under his eyes. Jiang Suihan said jokingly, "Were you a thief last night?"

Jiang Wei Yu looked at Jiang Hui Han with resentment. Last night, she was chased by someone in her dream all night. Those people kept chasing her all the way and said that they wanted to date her, which scared her to death.

There was a knock on the door. Jiang Weiyu went to open it and saw that it was Wang Dahe. He frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"

Wang Dahe said anxiously: "There is news about the group leader."

Jiang Weiyu turned his head to look at Jiang Suihan who was making milk powder for Chenchen, and said in a low voice: "Hurry up and tell me."

Seeing that Jiang Weiyu wanted to push him out, Wang Dahe quickly said, "Let me in first. I'll talk to my sister-in-law."

Jiang Suihan raised her voice and asked, "Wei Yu, who's here?"

Jiang Weiyu opened the door: "It's Wang Dahe."

Jiang Suihan didn't know that Wang Dahe was on a mission with Xu Zhao, and thought he came to her house for something.

Time was urgent, so Wang Dahe said in a few words: "Sister-in-law, the commander was injured and is being treated in the hospital in Yun City. The doctor said it is difficult to move him, so let his family go over to take care of him."

Jiang Huihan felt her heart stop for several seconds. She was extremely anxious and didn't waste any time. She managed to calm herself down and said, "I'll go pack my things now and leave in a while."

Jiang Weiyu followed behind with Chenchen in his arms: "What should we do with Chenchen? Should we stay at home?"

Jiang Suihan looked at Chenchen with worry. After she left, Jiang Weiyu had to attend classes and couldn't take Chenchen with her all the time. Jiang Leyun also had to attend classes, so neither of them was available at home.

She gritted her teeth and said, "I'll take Chenchen with me."

Jiang Weiyu frowned and disagreed: "Sister, you are going to the hospital to take care of your brother-in-law. How can you take care of the patient with Chenchen? You should leave Chenchen here. At worst, I can ask for leave from the school and let other teachers help with the class."

Jiang Suihan shook her head, "I don't know what the situation is in Yun City yet. A few days is fine, but ten days, half a month, or even a month, are you embarrassed to ask others to take your classes all the time? Besides, Chenchen is used to sleeping with me at night. If he can't see me, he will definitely cry and make a fuss. You and Lele can't handle him alone."

Chenchen has been a cunning child since he was young. He can play with his aunt and uncle during the day, but at night, he must see his mother. If he can't see his mother, he will scream at the top of his lungs, which makes people's ears hurt.

Jiang Weiyu still felt that it was unsafe for a young woman to go out with a baby, so she thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll take a leave to take you there, and then I'll take the bus back by myself."

Jiang Suihan refused: "It's too troublesome to go back and forth. It's not safe for a little girl like you to take the train by yourself."

There were a lot of things to bring, especially Chenchen's things, clothes, diapers, milk powder cans, bottles, water bottles, all packed into a big bag. It was too much, and it would be a struggle for her to carry such heavy luggage while holding the child alone.

Wang Dahe took the luggage from Jiang Suihan: "Sister-in-law, the political commissar has arranged a car to take you to the train station, and the ticket has been bought."

There was a car parked at the door. A young soldier was standing next to the car. When he saw Jiang Suihan coming out with the child in her arms, he grinned at her. His dark skin made his teeth look very white.

Wang Dahe put the luggage in the car: "Sister-in-law, this is Comrade Shao Jianjun. He will escort you all the way to Yun City and then back. You can rest assured about your safety."

Jiang Suihan nodded: "Thank the political commissar for me."

The political commissar must have known that she was taking Chenchen out and was worried, so he specially sent someone to go with her.

Yun City, Municipal Hospital.

"Comrade Xu, you are injured. Let me feed you." A young nurse with freckles on her face handed it over with an aluminum lunch box in her left hand and a spoon in her right hand.

Xu Zhao leaned back, turned his head away, and said coldly: "Thank you, I have hands."

The female nurse's face changed slightly, but she still smiled and said, "You are injured and it is inconvenient for you to eat. I am a nurse and it is my duty to take care of patients. I admire you soldiers very much. It is because of you that we have a peaceful life now. Please let me do my part, okay?"

The expression on Xu Zhao's face became even colder. Just as he was about to speak, he seemed to sense something in his heart. He raised his eyes and looked towards the door. There stood an unexpected person.

"Why are you here?"

Jiang Suihan walked into the ward calmly, carrying Chenchen on her back and her luggage. She looked at Xu Zhao for a while, then glanced at the female nurse nonchalantly: "It seems that I came at the wrong time."
