Rebirth in the ’70s: The Cold-Faced Commander’s Pampered Feisty Wife

In the year 1977, Zhan Nanhui, a former Deputy Director of the National Security Bureau, was undercover as a “re-educated” criminal doing manual labor in the countryside. His mission was compro...

Chapter 21 Wife

"Zhan Nanhui!" Yi Anan pushed the man away and pulled the quilt over her body, "What are you doing?"

Zhan Nanhui looked at Yi An'an helplessly, trying his best to calm himself down, and explained in a low voice: "You grabbed my ear and pulled me over, I..."

"Nonsense, your ears are so small, how can I, with my big body, lift such a heavy body like yours?" Yi Anan didn't believe it.

The earlobe was only as big as the belly of a finger, how could it be possible to grab it and pull such a tall man's body over!

"If you don't believe it, you can try it!" Zhan Nanhui leaned his head forward, turned his face, and asked Yi Anan to grab his ears again.

The man came closer, his profile was very handsome, with a high nose bridge, like a stone sculpture, making people unable to take their eyes away.

Yi Anan gathered her thoughts and snorted coldly: "I tell you, I'm not your white moonlight. You are not allowed to touch me without my permission!"

Yi Anan got up, put on her shoes, and prepared to get off the kang.

"What white moonlight are you talking about?" Zhan Nanhui was stunned and asked in a low voice.

Yi Anan glanced at him. This man was still pretending. Didn't he encounter anything when he went to Village Chief Yan's house today?

He was unhappy when he came back, wasn't it because he found out about Chen Sisi and Yan Dabao?

However, her marriage with Zhan Nanhui was a fake one, and they each had their own needs, so who he liked had nothing to do with her!

Yi Anan didn't want to explain, because she smelled the fragrance of the food and her stomach began to growl.

She had been in the printing factory these days. When she was hungry, she ate steamed buns. When she needed to drink, she drank warm water. It was true that she hadn't smelled meat for a long time!

"Let's eat!" Yi Anan said, and went to eat while wearing her shoes.

Zhan Nanhui wanted to ask a few more questions, but seeing the woman eating voraciously and thinking about how she had lost weight and looked haggard in the past few days, he held back.

The woman was obviously in a bad mood, perhaps she was hungry. Wait until she was full before asking, perhaps her attitude would be better.

Zhan Nanhui's cooking skills are pretty good. He stir-fried the leftover meat from a few days ago, stewed the cabbage, and then heated it up with big white steamed buns. Although it wasn't some kind of delicacies from the sea, it was very heart-warming.

Yi Anan ate half a bowl of vegetables and most of a steamed bun, and only stopped when she was 70% full, taking a break and eating slowly.

Seeing that Yi Anan was almost full, Zhan Nanhui brought up the topic again: "What did you say about Bai Yueguang?"

Yi Anan raised her eyes and glanced at Zhan Nanhui. This man was really bringing up things that were not relevant to the topic. She didn't want to bring it up anymore, but this man still wouldn't let go.

"That night when we lived in the pigsty, did you have a photo of a woman in your pocket?" Yi Anan asked.

Zhan Nanhui's face changed.

Yi Anan asked again: "What is your relationship with Chen Sisi?"

Zhan Nanhui hesitated for a moment, unable to answer.

Looking at the man's expression, Yi Anan knew that she had no misunderstanding.

"Don't worry, I told you on the first day I was with you that who you like has nothing to do with me. We got married because we both needed something. When you go to college and leave here, we can get a divorce!" Yi Anan took a bite of a big white steamed bun and drank a bowl of cabbage soup and said, "I have to clean up the pickles later, you wash the dishes!"

After Yi An'an finished speaking, she put down her bowl and chopsticks, stood up, and said, "That's right, I have to go to town early tomorrow morning, so I won't cook for you, you eat by yourself!"

Zhan Nanhui frowned, looking at the woman busy in the yard, hesitated for a moment, and took the photo out of his pocket.

The photo shows a woman with two big black braids and a gentle and beautiful smile.

Zhan Nanhui sighed, this woman was not Chen Sisi, but a photo of his mother when she was young, but he and Chen Sisi were in a relationship before.

It was the woman's words just now that made him feel that there was no need to explain.

We're going to get a divorce anyway, right?

It was a quiet night with two candles lit inside and outside the shack. Two people were reflected in the flickering candlelight, each with their own thoughts.

The next morning, Yi Anan got up early, but she didn't expect that the man was no longer beside her.

Yi Anan got dressed and went out, and saw a man sitting in front of the stove in the cold wind, doing his homework while lighting a fire.

Hearing the voice, Zhan Nanhui looked back at Yi Anan, quickly got up, opened the lid of the pot, took out the steamed buns, put them on the dining table, and then went back to continue doing the questions.

Yi An'an frowned, but didn't say anything. She ate a few pieces of food casually, then put the pickled vegetables in a basket and carried it to drive the cart.

Zhan Nanhui looked back and saw Yi Anan exhausted. He stepped forward, snatched the basket from the woman's hand, and went out with her.

Yi Anan didn't hesitate, and the two of them walked to the bus, one in front of the other.

Yi Anan didn't have a watch, so she might have checked the time by looking at the sky. It was obvious that she was too early and the bus hadn't arrived yet.

Yi Anan was standing by the road waiting. It was very cold early in the morning. She couldn't help coughing and stamping her feet.

Zhan Nanhui looked at it, hesitated for a moment, walked forward, and stood beside the woman, just blocking the wind.

Yi Anan hid beside the man, shrinking her neck, like a little bird.

The sun slowly rose, illuminating two figures, one large and one small, on the ground.

Yi An'an looked at it and sighed with some regret in her heart.

If she had found Tang A'ren, who saved her daughter in the previous life, earlier, perhaps she would not have married off a man at random.

"Aren, what are you doing going to town so early?" Suddenly, a male student patted a man next to him on the shoulder and asked while there were several students waiting for the bus.

Yi Anan was stunned and looked up quickly.

Not far from her stood a man in a military uniform without rank and a hat on his head, with his face turned sideways as he talked to the students.

Yi An'an walked forward slowly, staring at the man's profile. The man's beautiful features slowly overlapped with the appearance in her memory.

It's really Tang A'ren!

When Zhan Nanhui heard the male student calling his name, he turned around and saw Yi Anan coming forward with an excited look.

Just when Yi Anan was about to call out that name, the bus arrived at the station.

Tang A'ren and Lian were educated youth together and got on the bus together.

Yi Anan wanted to follow him quickly, and even forgot to take the prepared pickles.

Zhan Nanhui frowned and quickly picked up the basket and put it on the bus.

"Wife, you're losing your stuff!" Zhan Nanhui shouted.

The man was full of energy, and this shout was heard by everyone in the car, including Tang A'ren of course.

Tang A'ren raised his head and glanced at Zhan Nanhui outside the car.

Zhan Nanhui was also staring at Tang A'ren at this time.

I didn't expect that Tang A'ren is so handsome!

Zhan Nanhui frowned instinctively.

When Yi Anan was called by Zhan Nanhui, she remembered that she had brought the basket with her, so she responded without paying attention to Zhan Nanhui's address to her.
