After breakfast, Lin Yuan played with her son, while Zhao Huanhuan and her mother-in-law made New Year's goods together.

Having done it every year, Zhao Huanhuan is now very skilled at it.

After putting their son to sleep at night, the couple snuggled together and chatted.

The year after the Lunar New Year will be 1975.

Time flies! In just one more year it will be 1976!

Thinking of that year, Zhao Huanhuan fell silent. She couldn't shake the major historical events, but she could still mentally prepare herself for how those major events would affect her daily life.

Zhao Huanhuan recounted how she had looked at houses in Yuancheng when she went to deliver potatoes to her parents.

Lin Yuan smiled and said that she was quite prescient.

"I should be transferred to Yuancheng in the spring, but our base is not in the city, and that military compound is not a place we can stay."

“I won’t be able to leave the base for at least six months after I go there. So I think you should stay at home next year. I’ll see how things go the year after next. If it’s possible, I’ll prepare a house in Yuancheng and drive back to pick you up.”

Zhao Huanhuan remained silent after hearing this. The year after next!

I wonder if things will change on his end the year from now due to some major event.

So she nodded, "Well, let's talk about it the year after next."

Lin Yuan nodded.

Zhao Huanhuan thought that the college entrance examination would be reinstated in the winter of 1977. Perhaps she could take that opportunity to get her household registration back and see if she could take the exam and go to school.

Although she couldn't take the college entrance exam, high schools started enrolling students around that time, so she could go to school through an exam.

Or go to a vocational school.

Anyway, before 1980, she could learn more and accumulate more experience, so that she could start doing business properly after 1980.

Seeing her deep in thought, Lin Yuan asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Zhao Huanhuan said, "I'm thinking about what kind of job I should do after I go back, and whether I should go back to the textile factory."

"If you want to go back, I'll find a way for you," Lin Yuan said softly.

Zhao Huanhuan shook her head, "We'll talk about it later!"

She's thinking about Hou Ying now, wondering if anyone has discovered her misconduct over the years.

My second uncle never spoke of her again.

Never mind, we'll talk about it when we get back. Luckily, it's still early. Here, she can just be a happy military wife.

This year, Qiu Yi and Wen Yan took their son back home for the Spring Festival. They returned on the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month.

Zhao Huanhuan asked Lin Yuan to ride her bicycle to a place that sells bicycles, and helped weld a child seat with a backrest and pedals onto the front crossbar.

Zhao Huanhuan didn't put the baby seat in the back because she thought that when they went out in the future, the back could carry some things.

Therefore, when the family went back to the wife's parents' home on the second day of the Lunar New Year, a bicycle happened to be on its way to the train station.

Fearing that An'an would get cold, Zhao Huanhuan wrapped him up tightly with a blanket and cotton pad before leaving, leaving him only to look out with his eyes.

An'an was very happy the whole way, and would shout excitedly from time to time.

He felt it was great that his father was back, as he would take him and his mother out together.

This year, because they brought An'an along, wherever they went to pay New Year's visits, that house was filled with laughter and joy.

Zhao Huanhuan also told her parents that they might not come within the next two years.

Zhang Jinhua smiled and said, "That's perfect. When you come after I retire, I can help take care of An'an."

"By the way, Mom, how is Hou Ying doing now?" Zhao Huanhuan decided to ask anyway.

"He was arrested a long time ago. It's said that he was reported for having an affair with the deputy factory director, and the deputy factory director's wife came to his door and beat him so badly that he lost an eye."

"But she was fired from the factory and publicly criticized. As a result, I don't know what happened, she offended the higher-ups and was cursed by everyone. Later, I heard that she killed someone and was arrested."

"A person who has committed many evils deserves such an end. It is said that the person she killed was a female worker in the factory, and it is also said that the female worker reported her affair with the deputy factory director."

"Because the matter is too dirty, and you happen to be far away, Mom doesn't plan to tell you. It would be an offensive ear to hear it. Anyway, you've avenged your great grudge."

Zhang Jinhua said with a smile.

Zhao Huanhuan nodded in agreement, never expecting Hou Ying to end up like this.

"Wait, Mom, were you, Dad, or Uncle involved in this?" Zhao Huanhuan asked, recalling her parents' words from back then.

Zhang Jinhua paused, then shook her head. "Before we could even make a move, something happened to her. It was last summer."

While Zhao Huanhuan was at home taking care of the children, Hou Ying was reported to the authorities.

That's good, she's relieved!

The matter was thus dropped, and the gloom in Zhao Huanhuan's heart instantly dissipated.

In the original book, Zhao Huanhuan's death was ultimately a life debt that Hou Ying had incurred. However, in the original book, Hou Ying had been a tyrant in the textile factory for several years, and it seems that she died around 1980.

Unexpectedly, this was brought forward by six years.

Although I didn't do it myself, I still felt a sense of satisfaction knowing she was in trouble.

After learning about Hao Qiang and Bai Meilan's accident, Zhao Huanhuan knew that Hou Ying wouldn't be able to harm her this time.

Or rather, after she got married and became a daughter-in-law of Taojia Village, Hou Ying's concerns about Zhao Huanhuan disappeared.

However, what she didn't expect was that Heaven is watching what people do, and the problem didn't originate with her, but with someone else.
