Chapter 2: Taking the Train to the Army



Yang Tianzhu was afraid that she would go back on her word, so he quickly said, "Just agree to marry me. You can come back if you want. In the future, you won't have to support our mother anymore."

Yang Niannian wiped away her tears and said, "It's settled then. Give me Lu Shishen's address and some money for the trip. I want to go find him."

“Nian Nian…”

Looking at Yang Niannian's resolute eyes, Huang Guihua suddenly felt a little regretful for plotting against her little daughter.

"You should rest first. I will take you to the train station tomorrow."

Worried that Huang Guihua would be soft-hearted, Yang Tianzhu pulled her out of the house.

When they arrived at the main hall, Huang Guihua wiped her tears and burst into tears, "Niannian hates us so much."

Yang Tianzhu was not worried at all. "Mom, don't worry. She is just angry. Have you ever seen a woman who cuts off contact with her parents? When she gets there, her anger will subside in a month or two."

Yang Niannian is a bit cowardly, simple-minded and kind-hearted. She would rather jump into the river than run away from home, which shows that she has deep feelings for her family and it is impossible for her to really cut off contact with them forever.

When Huang Guihua heard this, she felt a little relieved and stopped crying, but when she thought about it carefully, she became worried again.

"If Nian Nian goes there, then this matter can't be concealed anymore? What if Lu Shishen doesn't like Nian Nian?"

The Lu family still doesn’t know that the person Lu Shishen got married to is Yang Niannian. They still thought he was marrying his eldest daughter who was in college.

Yang Tianzhu's idea was simple, "Nian Nian is prettier than Huiying. Lu Shishen has been in the army for many years and has not seen women all year round. It would be strange if he looked down on Nian Nian, who is so beautiful. Besides, it is not easy to divorce a military marriage. Divorce will affect his future. As long as he is not stupid, he will never divorce. When he comes back with Nian Nian, we can just say a few nice words to apologize."

Although I don't want to praise Yang Niannian as being prettier than Yang Huiying, the fact is that Yang Niannian is indeed beautiful. Niannian looks prettier than any movie star and has very fair skin.

If Nian Nian wasn't pretty, Fang Hengfei wouldn't have fallen for her. When the two were dating, although Fang Hengfei hadn't received a college admission letter yet, he was also an educated and top student.

Yang Niannian was also evaluating her appearance at this time. She stared at the mirror for a while, and after confirming that this body was indeed pretty, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Shishen is also a victim. His college-graduate wife has become a village girl who has not completed her nine-year compulsory education. He must be very angry. If she were ugly, Lu Shishen would probably want to slap her to death. If she were pretty, she would have some confidence.

Alas! Although she was also a college student in her previous life, it was useless. She did not have a college diploma. A college diploma was a way to gain connections in this era. The value of college graduates in 1983 was quite high. Yang Huiying was admitted to college, and the whole village felt proud.

Especially the village chief, he is so enthusiastic every time he meets their family.

It’s a pity that the original owner gave up her studies for her sister, what a silly girl.

Early the next morning, Yang Tianzhu sent Yang Niannian to the train station. Fearing that she would run away, he accompanied her to the train before handing her the money and scallion pancake.

"Take these two dollars and the train ticket. There are also scallion pancakes. Our mother made them for you early in the morning. Take them with you on the road."

After a pause, he added, "You can hate me, but don't hate our mother. She loves you very much. These cakes are made of wheat flour. Normally, our family is reluctant to eat them."

Yang Tianzhu and Yang Huiying look 50% alike, both with thick eyebrows, big eyes and thick lips, which are in line with the aesthetic standards of that era. On the contrary, Yang Niannian looks like her father, with delicate and coordinated facial features, bright eyebrows and eyes, and fair skin. She is a recognized beauty in any era.

Yang Niannian snatched the thing from Yang Tianzhu's hand and sneered, "Stop saying such ridiculous things. I sold my body for more than a hundred yuan, right? These things added together are not even enough to make up the difference."

She traveled five or six hundred kilometers, but he only gave her two dollars. It was obvious that he was worried that she would run away with the money, so he cut off her way back.

Seeing her attitude, Yang Tianzhu also got angry, "Don't say such harsh words. If you don't marry Lu Shishen, you may not be able to find a better in-law family than him."

After saying that, he turned around, got off the train and walked away without even looking back.

Yang Niannian squeezed into the carriage carrying her luggage bag and scallion pancakes. She looked for her ticket number for a long time before she found her seat. It was a double seat, and her seat was on the aisle side. The occupants inside had not arrived yet. Yang Niannian stood on tiptoe, preparing to lift the luggage bag to the overhead rack, but she twisted her ankle and failed to lift the bag. She also almost fell.

"careful."

Someone suddenly spoke from behind her and supported her arm, then quickly pulled his hand back after she stood firm.

"I'm fine."

Yang Niannian shook her head and looked back. Standing behind her was a soldier with regular features and an upright posture. A light bulb went off in her head and she subconsciously thought, it would be great if Lu Shishen also looked so handsome.

The man felt a little embarrassed when Yang Niannian looked at him, and said with a slightly red face: "Let me help you put it on!"

He was over 1.8 meters tall, almost a head taller than Yang Niannian, and he put the cloth bag on easily.

"Thanks."

Yang Niannian nodded in thanks, and sat obediently in her seat so as not to hinder others from walking. However, the man next to her stood there without moving, which she found strange.

"Did you buy a standing ticket?"

"No." The man shook his head and smiled awkwardly, "My seat is inside you."

Afraid that she wouldn't believe him, the man showed her the ticket. Yang Niannian didn't look at it carefully, but just noticed that his name was Qin Aonan.

"..." Yang Niannian quickly stood up to give him a seat, "Sorry, I don't know."

"It doesn't matter."

Yang Niannian sat down only after Qin Aonan sat inside. There were many people coming and going in the aisle, most of them carrying a lot of things, and they would touch her shoulder from time to time.

Seeing this, Qin Aonan took the initiative to propose to exchange seats with Yang Niannian. Yang Niannian was more than happy to do so. She sat by the window without being bumped by others and felt very comfortable. She stared out the window in a daze, but Qin Aonan was like a living Lei Feng, helping her find a seat and putting things away. He was strong and enthusiastic.

He didn't sit down until the train started. He was sweating all over and his clothes were wet.

Yang Niannian began to wonder again, wondering what Lu Shishen looked like, and whether he was as kind-hearted as him.

The train was rumbling, the carriage was very hot and there was an unpleasant smell. Yang Niannian thought that she might have to save these scallion pancakes. In such an environment, she couldn't eat at all.

She got up a little early in the morning. The noise from the train was like a lullaby. Yang Niannian soon felt sleepy. Her head kept tilting back and forth. In a daze, she found a comfortable position and fell asleep soundly.
