Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Workers, Peasants and Soldiers College Students
The second sister-in-law looked at the leader's family in surprise. She didn't expect that the other party would accurately say the name of her sister-in-law.
Only then did I realize that my eldest brother from my mother's family was really acting as a matchmaker and had really introduced the situation to other people.
Now the other party took the initiative to ask Liang Xin questions. What does this mean?
It means that you are very interested in your sister-in-law!
This is the family member of a military officer!
Family members of military district chiefs!
The leader’s family is interested in the sister-in-law!
The second sister-in-law's frustration immediately turned into excitement. She clenched her fists in her sleeves and looked at Liang Xin with anticipation.
Liang Xin: "Eat well and sleep well."
Everyone in the living room looked at Liang Xin in surprise at that moment.
After the second sister-in-law was surprised, her expression immediately changed to one of disappointment. She wished she could put her mouth on Liang Xin's and secretly pinched her lower back.
After being pinched, Liang Xin opened her mouth again. Not only was it not what the second sister-in-law wanted to hear, but it also made the second sister-in-law even more desperate: "It's best to stay at home and not go out."
“........”
The whole audience was silent.
The hostility towards Liang Xin in Phalaenopsis' eyes disappeared.
Young lesbians, contempt, surprise, admiration......
The middle-aged and elderly women looked at Liang Xin and felt as if they were disappointed with their own children...
The second sister-in-law was about to collapse. "In the countryside, in fact, not only in the countryside, the collective of the working class, peasants and soldiers, to have enough food and a good sleep is the common wish of all comrades."
"good."
The chief's family member nodded. "This reminds me of more than a decade ago when we were still in the garrison. During those three years, we finally dug up some wild vegetables, but we saved them for the children and Lao Lu. I picked some elm bark myself, scraped the black and rough bark with a knife, and ground it into powder with a stone mill. Even after it was ground into powder, it was still hard to swallow, and it was not digested after swallowing. At that time, my thigh was pressed with a deep dent, and it took a long time to recover. If the local government had not provided a truckload of cabbage to support the army, the consequences would have been unpredictable."
"That's right. I was in my hometown at the time. I could only drink cold water and had no pickles to eat. My whole body was swollen and shiny. It was because I had edema that I went to the commune grain station to get two kilograms of soybeans, which saved the children's lives."
"In fact, more than half of the people in my hometown commune are not getting enough food. I heard that in some places, people are even eating grain stalk bran and Guanyin soil."
Liang Xin's words, when explained by her second sister-in-law, instantly evoked unforgettable memories for the middle-aged and elderly women.
When the conversation was in full swing, the chief's family looked at Liang Xin and asked, "What do you think of the scope of activities in this family?"
Everyone paused, and suddenly they all looked at Hu Fenglian, and then at Liang Xin.
Liang Xin looked around the environment openly, and stopped at the black-and-white family photo in the wooden frame on the wall.
Hu Fenglian and the soldiers in military uniforms sat on the benches in the front row, with three teenagers and a girl standing behind them.
Liang Xin's gaze stayed on the majestic soldier in the front row for a short while, then moved to the shortest boy in the back row, who was about thirteen or fourteen years old, with ears higher than his eyebrows, a straight nose, and bright eyes.
A naturally intelligent face.
A temperament that is inherently unruly.
“Great for walking and sunbathing.”
After everyone waited for a long time, Liang Xin answered with this sentence.
Some young lesbians were already making sounds of grinding their teeth.
For Liang Xin’s disappointment.
The elders in the family should see what it means to be disappointing.
This person should be sent to be a role model for the entire army!
She would smash any golden rice bowl that was delivered to her doorstep!
It's time to send him to the kitchen to feed the pigs!
The second sister-in-law almost slapped Liang Xin on the back of the head, and suddenly there was a sound of the door chain colliding upstairs.
Hu Fenglian's smile faded slightly, and the others also paused, breathing lighter.
A moment of silence.
Someone brought up another topic.
The living room once again returned to its bustling appearance.
But no one took the opportunity to flatter their own daughter in a roundabout way anymore.
After chatting for a while, the female comrades in military uniforms stood up and said goodbye in a tactful manner.
Liang Xin also pulled up her second sister-in-law who looked confused.
The leader’s family members saw the guests off to the door.
After they walked out of the small building, the second sister-in-law looked back without giving up, hoping that the leader's family would call them back and talk to them alone.
Unfortunately, I walked out of the west courtyard and didn’t get to wait.
There were not many people around, and the second sister-in-law immediately howled, "You just said one sentence and made that Phalaenopsis female soldier's face turn paler than the wall. How come you are so stupid now? Nowadays, everyone tries their best to get promoted, but you are so good. In front of the chief's family, you keep saying hedonistic words one after another. You have completely destroyed the chief's family's interest in you. That's..."
"The son of a military officer."
Liang Xin took over the conversation, "The daughters of military district leaders, the daughters of local leaders, and the female comrades in the room just now, if you were the family of the leader, would you choose them as your daughter-in-law, or would you choose the daughter of the brigade secretary as your daughter-in-law?"
The second sister-in-law was stunned, and the heat in her head dissipated a little.
"He is said to be the brigade secretary, but in fact he is just a farmer who earns work points." Liang Xin stopped and looked at Ma Xiaoyan, "Why would Uncle Huzi help me arrange such a marriage?"
Without waiting for the second sister-in-law to answer, Liang Xin continued, "Besides, I have seen group blind dates, group blind dates with future mothers-in-law, and the blind date partner didn't even show up, and the woman and her family members present didn't even mention it. This is really the first time I have seen it."
“........”
The second sister-in-law was speechless for a while, and then she said hesitantly: "......You saw what I looked like just now. I was dumbfounded myself, but don't think too much. His son...maybe, maybe he is not in good health, so he wants to find a hardworking and down-to-earth country girl to take care of him."
After revealing some of the hidden facts, Ma Xiaoyan observed Liang Xin's expression, "But that was my original thought. I don't think so now. Look, there are so many advanced people, March 8th Red Flag Bearers, and those who sing, play the violin, and act in the art troupe. None of them is bad, but they are all lining up to get married. What does this mean? It means that their son is definitely not what I imagined!"
Liang Xin said nothing.
"Forget it, it's too late to say anything now."
The second sister-in-law finished talking about her guilty conscience, and her confidence returned:
"Look at you. If you had said less backward words and more progressive words, you might have been the daughter-in-law of the chieftain's family. You didn't want the best conditions in front of you. Xiaoxin, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Chen Shimei is a bastard. He's not satisfied with torturing you like this. You still want to stay with him forever and never marry him, hoping that he will change his mind?"
“…That’s not the case.”
"You can't hide it from me. You just think about him in your heart and you haven't given up on him. I really don't know what's so good about that bastard. He just has bigger eyes, is taller, and never gets tanned by the sun. He's a little whiter. And he has some education. He got that education because he's close to you, so he got a place in our commune's university. Otherwise, he'd just be a high school student."
"It's none of his business."
"As the old saying goes, workers, peasants and soldiers are college students. The first year is rustic, the second year is foreign, and the third year they don't recognize their parents. Sure enough, in the third year they don't recognize you anymore, don't go back to the commune, and stay on campus to become university teachers..."
The second sister-in-law kept chattering, but Liang Xin looked up at the sky and stopped arguing.
I know that even if I had eight hundred mouths, I still couldn't explain it.
Five years ago, she was suddenly bound to a system that "served the people" and traveled back and forth between different worlds. From birth to death from illness, exhaustion, and tragic death, she couldn't remember how many times she had lived and died, and suddenly she was back to her original body.
Even after putting it back on, she still wasn't a serious person.
Because this world is also a book, and the title of the book is "The Legendary Gangster's Counterattack and the Cool Life in the 1970s".
Wei Yuanyang is the male protagonist of this book.
Liang Xin was the cannon fodder who provided Wei Yuanyang with food, drink and warmth during his time in the countryside as a poor and lower-middle peasant. She eventually secured a place for him in university and helped him return to the city to start a carefree life.
After Wei Yuanyang graduated from university and stayed on campus, married his first wife, and got a powerful backer, the cannon fodder became sensible and never showed up again.
It was not until many years later when Wei Yuanyang became a legendary gangster and returned to Huaihua Township to reminisce and discovered a pile of graves that he learned that she, a cannon fodder, had kept her innocence for him all her life, foolishly waiting for him without getting married.
The book says: Wei Yuanyang sighed, and his third wife looked at him with admiration.
That’s all.
The purpose of the cannon fodder's final appearance is to add to the highlights of the male protagonist's charm.
Then there is a segment separator symbol “-”, cutting to the next part of the plot.
He was so rich, but instead of buying her an artistic cemetery or building a luxurious tomb, he didn't even burn a piece of paper money for her, and all he got was a sigh.
"Wei Yuanyang!"
The second sister-in-law suddenly screamed and pointed at the person who was talking to the sentry at the gate.
Liang Xin just came back to her senses when she met the eyes of the man who subconsciously looked at her when he heard her name.
The future legendary boss, when he saw her, was like seeing a ghost, and his body trembled noticeably.
The second sister-in-law rushed over and cursed, "Unfaithful man!"
"What are you yelling about!"
Before the unfaithful man could react, the woman next to him rushed over, pointed at the second sister-in-law's nose and cursed: "Who are you? You are crazy and want to see me clearly. Don't you see where this place is!"
"I would recognize your son even if he turned into ashes!" The second sister-in-law rolled up her sleeves, "Wei..."
"Liang Xin."
Before his second sister-in-law called out his name, Wei Yuanyang walked over with a complicated look in his eyes.
Liang Xin looked at him. As the male lead, there was no need to say much about his appearance. He was very handsome and well-groomed. He wore a khaki polyester zipper jacket and a dark blue round-neck cashmere sweater, which revealed a white fake Dacron collar. He exuded the aura of a noble intellectual.
In his left hand he held a red and white thick-lined net bag, which contained two packs of Hongtashan high-end cigarettes and two bottles of Maotai liquor.
Wei Yuanyang subconsciously hid the net bag in his hand behind his back. Realizing his guilty conscience, his fingers naturally relaxed. "Why are you here?"
Liang Xin asked back: "Why are you here?"
The slightly questioning tone made Wei Yuanyang uncomfortable for a moment.
Liang Xin always spoke to him in a cautious and flattering manner. She never questioned him, and she never even spoke loudly.
But thinking back to the last time they met, which was a year ago, Liang Xin came to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University and happened to meet teachers and classmates. He introduced her as the daughter of the brigade secretary of a rural commune, which made her receive a lot of strange looks and unpleasant words, which could be considered as being wronged.
Wei Yuanyang was not angry, but patiently and tolerantly explained: "I came here to visit my father's comrade-in-arms and his family."
Liang Xin's brows twitched slightly.
His father’s comrade-in-arms, Wei Yuanyang’s first wife, was the daughter of his father’s comrade-in-arms.
I heard that during the Korean War, Wei Yuanyang's father died protecting his comrades. Many years later, Wei Yuanyang's mother came to propose marriage and made this marriage possible.
After the reform and opening up, the status of workers, peasants and soldiers college students plummeted. After being ignored and marginalized in school, he was transferred to the Commercial Bureau through his father-in-law, starting his legendary career.
Looking at the cigarettes and alcohol in Wei Yuanyang's hands, Liang Xin understood what he wanted to do today.
