Lin Hui was so angry that she couldn't speak. She looked at Li Chengxi hatefully and turned away.

She muttered to herself, "What kind of man is he if he needs a woman to buy the movie tickets? He looks like a gentleman, but in fact he is just a gigolo. How can you live a good life with a man like him?" Well, then she will go with Lin Tao.

Lin Tao had just bought the ticket when she saw Lin Hui talking to Li Chengxi.

As I approached, I heard what Li Chengxi said, and my frowning brows relaxed. My heart suddenly felt sweet for no reason, as if I had eaten honey.

By the time she reached Li Chengxi's side, Lin Hui had already left.

Lin Tao did not follow her to argue. Lin Hui's behavior was indeed disgusting, but what she said was also true. It was not a good look to argue with her in front of so many people at the cinema door.

Besides, Lin Tao had originally planned to find an opportunity to talk to Li Chengxi about this matter.

"The tickets are bought." Lin Tao waved the tickets in her hand.

Li Chengxi nodded: "Okay, let's go in first."

"No hurry, the movie will start in ten minutes. Let's go in later. I want to tell you something first." Lin Tao said.

"Okay, let's go over there and talk." Li Chengxi guessed what Lin Tao wanted to say to him. It was not suitable to talk here with so many people coming and going, so he pointed to the corridor next to him.

There were not many people in the corridor, so Lin Tao told you everything about her identity: "I originally wanted to wait until after watching the movie before telling you. In my hometown, many people think that my background is unlucky. When I was a child, my grandmother wanted to strangle me to death. Fortunately, my father protected me."

She smiled, but her nose felt a little sour.

It's one thing to understand some things in your heart, but it's another thing to tell others.

Seeing her like this, Li Chengxi reached out and rubbed the top of her head with heartache.

He said seriously, "Lin Tao, this is a new society, we must fight against feudal superstition. I don't think it's unlucky, I just think your mother is great, she is still protecting you even after she passed away. You should not think that there is something wrong with you because of such unfounded things. You are very good, and those who say you are not good are ignorant."

Lin Tao looked at Li Chengxi steadily. He spoke seriously, without a trace of hypocrisy on his face.

Her eyes turned red, she sniffed, but smiled at him: "Thank you."

Thank you for being the first person to say this to me besides my father, Aunt Fang and Manman.

"What are you thanking me for? I'm telling the truth." Li Chengxi looked at the red eyes of the little girl in front of him, and his heart felt like being rubbed.

I don’t know how much injustice the little girl has suffered because of this identity.

He made up his mind to protect her and never let her suffer any injustice again.

Lin Tao smiled shyly and couldn't help asking, "What kind of person is your mother?"

When Li Chengqi introduced his family situation before, he only said that there was a stepmother in the family, but did not mention the biological mother. In this case, either they were divorced or they passed away. In this year, the latter situation is more common.

It was only after Lin Tao asked this question that she realized whether it was a bad idea to ask this question.

Fortunately, Li Chengxi didn't care about her abruptness and told her something about his mother.

Li Chengxi's mother was an old party member. His father was an underground party member. His father thought his mother had died, so he married a stepmother. In fact, his mother did not die. She suffered a lot to protect his father. When he came back, his stepmother was pregnant. His father chose the stepmother. His mother was in poor health because of the torture she suffered, and she died not long after he came back.

"She was a very good person who took on all the hardships herself. I was young at the time and don't remember many things very clearly, but I remember that she looked very beautiful when she smiled."

Li Chengxi spoke briefly and to the point, consisting of only a few short sentences.

But Lin Tao understood that there were too many entanglements in these brief words.

For example, a woman who has suffered so much to protect her lover will feel so painful when she sees that her lover has a family and children again...

Lin Tao didn't expect that there was such a story behind Li Chengxi. She felt sad after hearing it and wanted to comfort him.

Li Chengxi was much stronger than her, and his expression remained calm: "Let's go, the movie is about to start."

Li Chengxi led Lin Tao over there. Because it was a new movie, there were many people watching it, and people were crowded when entering. Li Chengxi followed closely behind Lin Tao, protecting her from being squeezed.

This is an anti-Japanese war romance film with a touching plot. Many lesbians in the cinema couldn't help crying.

Lin Tao couldn't help but tear up, and she felt even more upset because she thought of Li Chengxi's mother.

On the other side of the theater, Lin Hui and Shen Guobin were also watching the same movie. Lin Hui wiped her tears while talking to Shen Guobin next to her: "Guobin, do you think our love will be as touching as in the movie?"

The one who responded to her was Shen Guobin's cry.

When the show was over, Li Chengxi looked at Lin Tao, whose eyes had turned red like a little rabbit, and sighed, "I won't take you to see this kind of movie next time."

Lin Tao sniffed: "It's so touching, I couldn't help it."

After watching the movie, the two went for a walk and felt very comfortable feeling the breeze on their bodies.

At noon, Li Chengxi took Lin Tao to a state-owned hotel for lunch and ordered a dish of fried pork with peppers and crucian carp soup.

Lin Tao whispered, "The food in the state-owned hotel is so expensive, we can just eat something casual."

Li Chengxi smiled and gave her a soothing look: "It's okay, you're too thin, you need to eat something good."

As soon as the fish came up, Li Chengxi picked out the belly and put it in Lin Tao's bowl: "Eat this, there are fewer fish bones here."

Lin Tao smiled shyly and gave Li Chengxi a piece of meat with her chopsticks: "You should eat more too."

The food in the state-owned hotel is expensive, but it is also very delicious.

However, Lin Tao still felt that the food she cooked was tastier. When she left, she whispered to Li Chengxi, "Actually, the food I cooked myself is also delicious."

Li Chengxi replied: "I will definitely find an opportunity to try it in the future."

Lin Tao was stunned for a moment, then her face turned red again.

She thought she was usually a calm and steady person, but today she blushed countless times.

"Where are we going now?"

"You are familiar with Xiangcheng, you decide."

So Lin Tao took the initiative to take Li Chengxi to her alma mater and People's Park. After they visited both places, it was almost half past three.

Lin Tao had to catch up with the ox cart, so she asked to go back.

Li Chengxi sent her to the same place as yesterday. Lin Tao looked at the people on the ox cart. They were the most rude and gossipy people in the village.

Still stopped and said: "Why not send it here today?"

Li Chengxi didn't force it, he just looked at Lin Tao and said seriously: "Lin Tao, after spending these few days together, what do you think of me?"

How is he?

He is fine.

Lin Tao wanted to speak, but because her heart was beating too fast, she was unable to speak. She lowered her head and played with her fingers, which was her behavior when she was nervous.

Then, Li Chengxi said, "Let me take you home next time."

Lin Tao mustered up her courage, looked up at Li Chengxi, her face flushed, her words seemed to be burned, and she spoke haltingly: "Okay."

Both of them spoke in a reserved manner, but they both understood in their hearts what these words meant.

Li Chengxi smiled, reached out and rubbed the top of her head, his tone unconsciously softened a little: "Tomorrow at the same time, I will still wait for you here."

"Okay, okay." Lin Tao nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, turned back to look at the ox cart, "Then...then I'll go back first."

"Go ahead, I'll watch you go."

Lin Tao was too embarrassed to look at Li Chengxi again and turned away shyly.

After getting on the bullock cart, she couldn't help but look back at him. Although they were quite a distance apart, she still saw the smile on his face.

Lin Tao also laughed and placed her hand on her throbbing chest.

It felt like deer were running around in her heart, and like thousands of butterflies were dancing.

***********************

On the other side, after Lin Hui and Shen Guobin finished watching the movie, they went to the supply and marketing cooperative again.

Tomorrow is the day they are getting married. Although it is just a meal for the two families, they still need to make preparations. They went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some pork and fish. They already have side dishes at home, so there is no need to prepare.

Shen Guobin came riding a 28-inch bicycle, so it didn't matter even if he couldn't catch up with the ox cart.

After a tiring day, Lin Hui fell asleep on her bicycle on the way.

She dreamed about her past life again. In the dream, Lin Tao initially refused to marry at such a young age and become a stepmother to three children. How did she agree later?

Once, when Lin Changhai was unloading goods at work, an accident occurred. Everything on the truck fell down and hit Lin Changhai. It was Shen Guobin who saved Lin Changhai, but after that incident, Lin Changhai still had a broken leg.

Lin Tao had difficulty getting married because of her identity as a coffin bearer, and her father's legs were crippled, so the matchmakers who used to introduce her to a second marriage no longer dared to look for her.

Lin Hui didn't know much about how Lin Tao got together with Shen Guobin, because at that time her mind was only on Zhao Yuejin and she was waiting to marry into the Zhao family, so she didn't pay any attention to Lin Tao at all.

Her grandmother said that Shen Guobin took the initiative to pursue Lin Tao even though he knew that her second uncle's legs were crippled and he couldn't work.

From what her grandmother said, it seemed that Lin Tao was not very willing at first. Her grandmother scolded Lin Tao for this matter, saying that she was shameless and ungrateful, and that she didn't know how to repay others for saving her father. Lin Tao also said that the life-saving grace should be repaid, but not in this way.

But later she married Shen Guobin and took Lin Changhai with him to join the army.

At that time, Lin Hui had already gotten together with Zhao Yuejin as she wished, and she even felt lucky about it, joking that Lin Tao was indeed a coffin-like person, which meant she was unlucky.

Who would have thought that it would turn out like that...

……………………

The tire of the 28-inch bicycle hit a big rock and caused a bump. Lin Hui was awakened by the shock and screamed.

Shen Guobin turned around and looked at her, and asked, "Xiao Lin, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay. I was just too tired and fell asleep accidentally. I had a nightmare." Lin Hui shook her head and smiled at Shen Guobin.

Shen Guobin did not approve of her behavior and said sternly, "Be careful, sleeping on a bicycle, be careful not to fall off."

Lin Hui responded absentmindedly, but in her heart she was thinking about the dream she had just had, or to be more precise, the dream that happened in her previous life.

Lin Hui had lost some memory of those old events. After her rebirth, she could only remember a lot of things roughly. After the dream just now, she remembered that today was the day when Shen Guobin saved her second uncle.

But now that Shen Guobin is with her, doesn't that mean her second uncle is left without anyone to save him?

What to do...

Lin Hui hesitated for a moment, but soon convinced herself.

Her second uncle had never liked her, so why should she take this risk for him? Moreover, how should she tell Shen Guobin now? Even if Shen Guobin saved her second uncle, what if Lin Tao wanted to marry Shen Guobin again because of this incident like she did in her previous life?

No, absolutely not.

Lin Hui thought fiercely that since everything had changed since her rebirth, she should just let things take their course. All she needed was to live a good life.

What other people do is none of her business!
