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 248 If you like someone, you should marry her openly

Han Shichang hesitated to speak.

"Just say whatever you want to say." Yi Anan said.

"Nan Chu's secret skills, to be exact, have been lost!" Han Shichang whispered, "The last descendant of Nan Chu is Ms. Chu Ruyue, the wife of Professor Tan Zhenye of the Department of Archaeology at Kyoto University. Ms. Chu Ruyue is in good health, and these classics have been passed down. She has only one son, who is said to be fully developed in intelligence. It is said that she passed the Chu family secret skills to Professor Tan, but our Han family has been doing this for generations, and we can tell at a glance whether we have learned the essence. At that time, Professor Tan was repairing "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" in the museum, and it was indeed perfect, but before that, I saw him repair ancient books, and it could not meet our requirements!"

Yi Anan was even more puzzled: "Then why do you believe me? You haven't even seen me repairing ancient books. At that time in the museum, I was only responsible for the front cleaning work."

"I believe in the skills of the Tao family, not in you!" Han Shichang said, "Although you only showed a little bit of your skill and were only responsible for cleaning the screen, that skill was enough to shock the world. To be precise, without your Tao family's 're-emergence', no matter how the Chu family 'stole the day', they would have no chance! Moreover, Master Tao told me that the Tao family could have completed all the skills, but they just left a way out for the Chu family. However, the Tao family seems to have let down the Chu family."

It turns out that Han Shichang chose her because he believed what Master Tao said!

However, at the restoration conference at the museum, the skills shown by Professor Tan were different from those of the Tao family. Especially after reading the book given to her by Old Lady Tao, Yi Anan always felt that the Chu family's skills seemed to be a perfect match with those of the Tao family. It was just that how to integrate them required her to be exposed to the Chu family's skills.

"I will try my best!" Yi An'an said, "But it will take at least a month to finish this book in the short term."

Han Shichang sighed, "I was anxious before because the higher-ups threatened me with my Rong Bao Zhai. Now that Rong Bao Zhai has closed, I have nothing to worry about. I am only hoping that this book can be repaired. When it is repaired, Rong Bao Zhai will return it to me. There is no other way. All the glory of Rong Bao Zhai started with this book, so even if I feel wronged, I have to admit it!"

Yi Anan nodded: "In this case, let's keep calm and take our time, one page at a time!"

Han Shichang nodded.

The two worked for an entire afternoon and finally repaired a page.

Yi Anan hung the repaired page of the book on the table to dry.

Han Shichang sat aside and looked at the page, his eyes slowly moistened, "I remember when I first saw it, it looked like this, dozens of years later, Rongbaozhai has not protected this book well!"

Yi Anan looked at the sky. It was very late. She had been busy all afternoon and her eyes were tired. She said, "Let's continue tomorrow. I want to rest!"

Han Shichang immediately stood up: "If you want to eat together, I'll treat you!"

Yi Anan waved her hand: "No, I'm too lazy to go out. I want to take a break. Besides, there are still missing words on the next few sheets. I have to think of a way."

Han Shichang nodded quickly.

After Han Shichang left, Yi Anan went to the next room and saw Zhan Nanhui writing something on a notebook. When he saw Yi Anan come in, he looked up and asked, "Is it over?"

Yi Anan nodded and asked, "What are you doing?"

"I'm thinking about what wedding gift to give you!" Zhan Nanhui showed Yi Anan the words written on the paper.

Yi An'an took a look and was stunned for a moment: "Master does have something to hide. Will you violate discipline by doing this?"

"Your master's residence should be under surveillance. I will find a way to get her out on bail for medical treatment. You can see her again in the hospital then. There will be many people in the hospital and it will be easier to manpower. You can find a chance to find out the real reason." Zhan Nanhui said, "Only when you know the reason can you find a way to help her."

Yi Anan nodded, "I'm just afraid of getting you into trouble."

When Yi Anan saw the place where Old Lady Tao lived, she guessed that Old Lady Tao seemed to be under surveillance.

"So, if I do this, will you marry me?" Zhan Nanhui stepped forward, hugged Yi Anan from behind, and shook her body gently. "Now that you have received the notice, we are just waiting for school to start. Can we get married? Let's hold the wedding in the capital, okay?"

Yi Anan frowned slightly. She turned around in Zhan Nanhui's arms, facing Zhan Nanhui, hugged his waist, raised her little face and looked at him, "Can I ask you a question?"

Zhan Nanhui nodded: "You ask?"

"Why are you so obsessed with the wedding?" Yi An'an asked, "In fact, we have already got the marriage certificate. Legally, I am considered to be a real wife. Now I am willing to be with you, but you are still entangled in a wedding! In fact, your father does not agree with our marriage. There is no one in my family who can come to the wedding. I can only invite a few friends, or maybe a whole table. I think this wedding has no meaning at all."

Zhan Nanhui lowered his head, his eyes deep: "I want to marry you because I want to introduce you to everyone I know. A wedding is the best occasion! Besides, my mother never waited for my father's wedding until she passed away. This is her regret."

Yi Anan was stunned. This was the first time she heard Zhan Nanhui mention his mother!

"My mother and father were childhood sweethearts, but they didn't have a wedding because they got married during my father's most difficult time. They just got a marriage certificate and lived together. Later, my father became a high-ranking official, and my mother took me to the capital. The funny thing is, in order to get close to the leader, my father had an affair with the leader's daughter and even denied the existence of my mother. He even tore up the piece of paper." Zhan Nanhui whispered.

Yi Anan frowned, wondering why the relationship between Zhan Nanhui and Zhan Ronghua was so stiff, it turned out that such a thing existed.

"Later, the leader's daughter married my father, and my mother and I were kicked out of the house. Later, the leader's daughter died unexpectedly, but my father rose to prominence. By then, I had grown up, joined the army, and made military achievements, but my father still had no children, so he took my mother and me back home."

"Unfortunately, my mother died before she had a few good days." Zhan Nanhui sighed, "She always believed that she entered the Zhan family in a big sedan chair, so she was never recognized by the Zhan family. She told me that if you like someone, you should marry her openly, let others know that she is your wife, and give her status and respect!"
