Chapter 12 A Village Girl in the 1970s

The silence seemed to spread, and gradually, more and more people noticed the oddity in this small area, looked over curiously, and then all fell into a daze.

"Clatter".

Some people's chopsticks slipped from their hands, but it did nothing to distract everyone. No one cared; their eyes remained fixed on that beautiful figure.

Xie Jingyue immediately sensed something was wrong as soon as he entered the state-run restaurant.

It's too quiet.

He felt a chill run down his spine, and his sharp eyes swept across the area.

Suddenly, his breath caught in his throat, and his heart began to pound uncontrollably.

'Bang, bang, bang...'

The sound of my heartbeat seemed to be ringing right next to my ears, deafeningly loud.

He could see nothing else but that patch of white skin and those gently parting red lips.

At this moment, his vigilance was at its lowest. If someone were to attack him, he would probably be powerless to fight back and die on the spot.

After a long while, with unwavering willpower, he managed to regain his senses.

Xie Jingyue forcibly withdrew his gaze, not daring to look over again. He merely glanced at the people around him who were still in a daze, and then quietly retreated.

Yao Yunzhen quickly finished her meal, put on her mask, and rushed out without stopping.

It was only after the beauty had vanished without a trace that the people in the restaurant came to their senses.

It was as if the restaurant, which had been paused, had restarted.

Someone exclaimed in amazement:

"Oh my god, this is so beautiful."

Was that really a person?

Some people even began to regret: "What a pity, I should have gone up and met them."

However, if they were to do it all over again, they wouldn't dare to go up and say hello.

Faced with such a breathtakingly beautiful woman, they felt it was disrespectful to even have the thought, let alone try to strike up a conversation.

To be able to see it from afar like this is the greatest blessing of my life.

Xie Jingyue stood at the restaurant entrance, watching the beautiful woman leave.

Only when her figure completely disappeared from sight and no one came out of the restaurant to chase after her did he feel relieved.

Xie Jingyue glanced at the empty street again, composed himself, and strode into the restaurant.

Yao Yunzhen finally breathed a sigh of relief after returning home.

She touched her cheek, looking somewhat troubled.

Even though her back was to everyone, she was still noticed.

She will never dare to eat alone again.

Alas, beauty is a sin; it's just that she's too beautiful.

If something happens, Yao Yunzhen decides to stay home for the time being.

She had originally planned to buy some things at the supply and marketing cooperative, but now she had to give up.

Fortunately, she wasn't too bored at home, so she dug out the comic books that Yu Feng and Yu Wen had hidden and started reading them.

Yao Liuzhi, Yao Yunzhen's biological mother, was unaware of these comic books, but Yao Yunzhen knew them perfectly well.

The Yu brothers told her all of this.

Every time they met, the two brothers would chatter away, eager to tell her even how many ants were in the ant nest downstairs.

On the other side, Yao Kemei walked out of the police station, bathed in warm sunlight, and her mood was brighter than ever before.

At that moment, she seemed to glimpse a brand new future.

She's not called Yao Kemei anymore.

She is Yao Meimei.

Yao Meimei looked around to determine the direction, and then plunged into a small alleyway by the roadside.

In the afternoon, the Yu brothers went home after school.

The two were extremely excited to see Yao Yunzhen, whom they hadn't seen in a long time.

Of all their older cousins, this beautiful one was their favorite.

Yu Wen excitedly shouted, "Cousin, you've finally come to my house!"

"Are you out of school?"

Looking at the backpacks the two were carrying, Yao Yunzhen felt a bit smug.

As a graduate who was once a mediocre student, I can't help but feel fortunate and secretly pleased when I see current students, especially when I see other mediocre students like myself, which gives me a secret sense of satisfaction.

Yes, the Yu brothers were also true academic failures, consistently ranking at the bottom of their class.

"Yes, cousin."

The two brothers didn't care at all. When they saw the comic book in Yao Yunzhen's hand, they said, "Cousin, I borrowed a new comic book from my classmate today. You can read it first."

Yu Wen took a comic book out of his schoolbag and handed it to him.

Yao Yunzhen accepted it without any hesitation.

"Okay, I'll check it out in a bit. Come on, I'll treat you to some soda now."

The cousins ​​had a good relationship, and since Yao Yunzhen had just made a windfall, she decided to be generous this time.

Yu Wen: "Cousin, I've saved up some money too, I'll treat you to a drink."

Yu Feng: "Then I'll treat my cousin to ice cream."

The Yu family was well-off, and the two of them received lucky money every now and then. They saved most of it to spend when Yao Yunzhen came to visit.

Yao Yunzhen waved her hand and said, "Okay, we'll eat them all. We'll also buy some popcorn and roasted sunflower seeds."

The three of them went out happily, bought some soda and snacks, and then strolled around the streets.

With someone by her side, Yao Yunzhen became bolder again.

It wasn't until evening, when he figured Yao Liuzhi and the others would be getting off work soon, that he went home.

Not long after they returned, Yao Liuzhi came back. Seeing the three of them sitting obediently in the living room, with her two sons writing with pens, she nodded in satisfaction.

"Zhenzhen, where's my little sister?"

"She went to play by herself."

Yao Liuzhi didn't ask any more questions. She knew that the two sisters didn't have a good relationship, so it was normal that they didn't want to play together.

She didn't ask any more questions, tied on her apron, and went into the kitchen.

He's a grown man, he won't get lost.

Soon, Yao Sheng and Yu Chunlai also returned home.

Yao Sheng usually lived in the dormitory, which was provided by the brick and tile factory for temporary workers like him.

But since he brought his daughter to the city, he certainly wouldn't abandon her.

So he decided to go back to his sister's house for the next two days and sleep on the floor.

Yao Hai, on the other hand, didn't want to worry about so much and trusted Yao Meimei completely, so he was too lazy to go through all that trouble.

Moreover, he preferred sleeping in the dormitory rather than sleeping on the floor, even though the accommodations weren't great, at least there was a bed.

By the time Yao Liuzhi had served the food, it was completely dark, and Yao Meimei finally returned.

Upon seeing Yao Meimei, Yao Liuzhi frowned slightly: "Little sister, why are you only coming back now?"

Yao Meimei said nonchalantly, "I just wandered around. Also, don't call me 'little sister' anymore. I've changed my name. Call me Yao Meimei."

She felt disgusted just hearing the name 'Little Sister'. She had been searching through her memories these past two days and learned that the name 'Little Sister' was given to her by Yao Yunzhen!

She also discovered that Yao Yunzhen in this life was even more favored than she was in the previous life, while she herself remained unchanged, suffering as always.

Yao Meimei searched carefully but found nothing unusual, so she had to put it aside for the time being.

However, after discovering that Yao Yunzhen was living a better life, Yao Meimei became even more disgusted with Yao Yunzhen and filled with aversion to everything related to her.

Yao Liuzhi opened her mouth, but ultimately didn't say anything more.

She wasn't very familiar with this niece. Usually when she went back to her parents' home, she would stand in a corner with her head down, not daring to say a word.

She also tried to persuade her second sister-in-law in a subtle way, but it was no use, so she had to give up.

As a married woman, she shouldn't interfere too much in her brother's family affairs.

I don't know what happened during this time, but my niece's body has changed so much.

"Let's eat."

Although today's meal included braised pork and snacks, Yao Yunzhen still managed to eat quite a bit during her regular meal.

Young people digest food quickly and are in the prime of their growth.
