After sending her brother Bowen away, Liu Meiyu's life returned to normal and she was busy studying for graduation.
Without the uncle to supervise the triplets while they were doing their homework every day, I started to slack off.
Dabao is better, he is the most self-disciplined and calm among the three brothers. Erbao and Xiaobao prefer to play outside rather than study, and they also procrastinate on doing their homework. Sometimes, their grandfather catches the two brothers waiting for Dabao to finish and then copying directly.
Liu Meiyun was out of control at school, and her grandfather used all his strictness on his grandson Lu Changzheng, and really just coaxed his great-grandson. So the burden of educating the children temporarily fell on their biological aunt Lu Wanjun.
"Lu Xiaobao, can you please finish your homework before eating snacks? Look, your elder brother has already finished his homework and started reading."
Lu Wanjun, who is now the deputy director of the hospital, is usually very approachable at work, but when she gets home and watches her three boys do their homework, her temper comes out.
"Aunt, my second brother hasn't finished writing yet." Lu Xiaobao was still chewing the date cake made by Grandma Wu, and he directed his anger at his second brother.
"I'll write it right away, don't blame me."
Although Lu Erbao said this, his mind was not on his homework. His eyes kept glancing at the picture book under the drawer.
"Auntie, I'm going out to play basketball."
Dabao not only finished his homework but also reviewed tomorrow's lessons. His two younger brothers were dawdling, so Dabao became impatient and went to the playground in the compound with his basketball to play with his friends.
The basketball was bought for them by their uncle before he went abroad. Recently, the three brothers have been running to the compound playground whenever they have time. Since they are small and cannot throw the basketball into the basket, they just dribble the ball on the edge.
"Wait for us."
When Erbao heard this, he became anxious, grabbed Dabao and stopped him from leaving, and gave Xiaobao a look.
Xiaobao waved his hand nonchalantly: "I don't want to play basketball, I want to play table tennis."
"No matter what you play, you must finish your homework first." Lu Wanjun looked serious.
There was no other way. Grandpa and Aunt Wu were both the good guys at home, and Liu Meiyu and her husband were both in school, so she was the only aunt who had to play the bad guy.
"Meiyun, your husband is here to see you again."
Liu Meiyu had just washed her hair in the dormitory and was about to memorize a few French words before going to bed when the dormitory head Zhou Yanhong came back from the library and opened the door and said.
"Here it comes again?" Liu Meiyu muttered subconsciously.
It's not that she is impatient, she just finds it strange. Ever since they came back from Shanghai, Lu Changzheng has been running to his school whenever he has time. Originally, he would call once a week, but now he calls at least twice a week.
"Meiyun, you should be content. Your husband treats you so well and comes to see you every now and then, and you still complain about it." Zhou Yanhong patted her arm and said angrily, "My husband is afraid that if he sends me a telegram from his hometown, it will be too long and cost money."
The family used to be poor, but since the production team there was disbanded last year, the family has had a bumper harvest. In addition to food, there is some surplus to sell in town, and they can save more than ten yuan a year. But even so, her husband's family was reluctant to buy two more stamps, and they didn't even send a telegram if there was an emergency.
Every time she returned to school, she missed her children so much, fearing that they might get sick or something. When she was not around, the children became unfamiliar with her when she returned during the holidays.
Moreover, when she went back home for the Chinese New Year, she secretly expressed to her family her desire to stay in Beijing after graduation, but it was rejected outright. Both her husband's and her own family wanted her to return to her hometown county or town to work, and the farthest they would agree to let her go was to their city.
But ever since she last met the three lively, cheerful and confident triplets from Liu Meiyun's family, Zhou Yanhong's desire to graduate and stay in Beijing has become stronger and stronger.
Liu Meiyu didn't know about the worries of the older sister in the dormitory. She just felt that Lu Changzheng was a little abnormal during these days.
Military academies shouldn't have so much free time, right?
"Why are you here again? Isn't it forbidden to go out often in your school?"
Liu Meiyun's hair was still wet and scattered over her shoulders.
When Lu Changzheng saw this, he frowned and said, "Don't wash your hair at night. It will easily cause a migraine."
Liu Meiyu, however, looked nonchalant, brushed the dust off his sleeves, and asked directly: "What's wrong with you recently? You come to me every other day. Did you make a mistake and get expelled from the military academy?"
"I was promoted to a full-time member of the group."
"That's great." Liu Meiyu raised her eyebrows and said, "What do you want to eat? I'll go home and make it for you tomorrow. I won't have to go to the store anymore."
Of course we should celebrate when we get a promotion and a raise.
Lu Changzheng was silent for a few seconds, then he pulled his wife into his arms, lowered his head and whispered a word in her ear: "You"
"Captain Lu, you have learned bad habits." Liu Meiyu pushed the man away and glared at him. Although she complained, she still ran to the dormitory aunt to get a note and went directly to the small hotel with Lu Changzheng.
The man hugged his wife with a satisfied look on his face. He opened his mouth quickly but hesitated to speak. His state was completely different from his usual clingy and shameless appearance.
Liu Meiyu turned over, stretched out half of her clean arm, grabbed the man's ear, and said fiercely with a stern face: "Lu Changzheng, if you have something to say, just say it, don't waste your time. I've noticed that something is wrong with you recently. You've been watching me like a "spy". Just tell me, what did you see that made you jealous?"
"No." Lu Changzheng rejected it outright, hugged his wife tightly and sighed. After a long while, he seemed to have made up his mind and asked her, "Meiyun, are you hiding something from me?"
Liu Meiyun said lazily, "There are many. Which one are you referring to?"
“…”
"Seriously." Lu Changzheng pulled Liu Meiyun's hand down and gently squeezed it, then asked in a hoarse voice, "About yourself."
"Myself?" Liu Meiyun's eyelids twitched, and the teasing and relaxed look on her face gradually disappeared. "What do you mean? About the gold bars my mother gave me?"
"Not that one." The man stared at her with eyes as sharp as an eagle: "Meiyun, can you dance?"
“…”
"You can't dance, but you know some simple self-defense techniques, and you can dismantle a gun." Lu Changzheng stared at Liu Meiyun, afraid to miss every change in her expression. "When we arrested the trafficker, the man ran away with a gun. When he fired, there was no bullet in the gun. Even he was surprised. Afterwards, the police searched and found several bullets in the drawer of the hotel lobby. I guess you put it in there?"
Liu Meiyu lay on the man's chest, waiting for him to finish speaking word by word, and her facial expression remained unchanged.
"Is this why you've been acting so abnormal these days?"
"Meiyun" Lu Changzheng frowned, his tone more serious than ever before: "I used to think I knew my wife very well, we were like one person, you married me and risked your life to give birth to three children for me, I should know you very well, including myself in front of you, I love you very much, you are as important to me as my life, so I have no secrets from you, even my private money is hidden in front of you."
Liu Meiyu's eyebrows twitched. There was nothing wrong with what Lu Changzheng said. His private money was indeed tucked inside the first book on top of the study. It was called private money, but in fact it was the emergency money he had lent to his comrades in arms before. They were now returning the money one after another, and he kept it to occasionally buy snacks and toys for his children, or small gifts for her.
"But this time, I feel like I don't know you that well." Lu Changzheng's tone was more of frustration than defense and anger. "Meiyun, we have been married for twelve years. Is there anything you can't tell your husband about me? Don't you trust me?"
The Long March was really...how should I describe it? It was really complicated and sad.
It felt like he had been running naked in front of his wife for twelve years, and when he turned around, he found that his wife was still wearing a vest.
Seeing that the man was emotional, Liu Meiyu held his chest and kissed him on the lips attentively, then said slowly and methodically: "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that this matter is a bit supernatural to you, and most people can't accept it."
If Lu Changzheng didn't ask about her rebirth, Liu Meiyu planned not to tell anyone about it for the rest of her life.
She didn't dare to tell it when she was young, and she must not tell it even more when she is old. What if she gets scared to death by such a weird thing when she is old? But now that the person herself has discovered that something is wrong, there is no need for Liu Meiyu to hide it.
"I am not the Liu Meiyun of this world..."
In order to comfort the man's hurt emotions, Liu Meiyu not only talked about her rebirth, but also briefly recounted her experiences in her previous life from birth to sudden death.
"I learned self-defense from a private teacher in my previous life. I also learned firearms from a club coach to relieve work pressure. As for dancing, I really can't dance. When I was young, my family was poor and I couldn't learn it. Later, I learned dancing after I earned money, but it was useless except for fitness. Besides, we can just learn yoga for fitness."
Liu Meiyu said a series of things, and then she saw that Lu Changzheng had a dull expression, and he was really confused by what she said.
Sitting up from the bed, the shirtless man looked at his wife in disbelief and said, "So, you are Liu Meiyu who has been reborn and traveled through time from the 21st century."
"Yes, that's a very good summary." Liu Meiyu nodded. She was also very impressed that the man didn't show any shock or avoidance on his face.
"What about the original Liu Meiyu?" Lu Changzheng's heartbeat became irregular. He was actually a little afraid of him. He was afraid that one day, the original Liu Meiyu would come back. Where would he find a wife then?
"I don't know, maybe he went to my world?" Liu Meiyu shook her head, raised her eyebrows, stared at the man and asked: "Lu Changzheng, I have always wanted to ask you, are you attracted to the body or the soul?"
Captain Lu had no experience with this kind of life-threatening question, so he just answered honestly: "When we were dating, I thought you were very beautiful, so I looked at you a few more times, and then I found that your personality was even more attractive, so I had a strong desire to marry you. Now I can only say that if I could make a wish, I selfishly hope that the original Liu Meiyun will never come back."
Typically starts with looks and ends with soul.
As they were already an old married couple, Liu Meiyun would not really play any life-threatening questions with him. She just propped her head with one hand and raised her eyebrows and asked, "Lu Changzheng, do you trust me so much? Aren't you afraid that I will make up a story to deceive you?"
The man turned over and pressed the person under him: "You won't, Meiyun, you have never lied to me."
Looking at the confidence on the man's face, Liu Meiyu didn't know what to say.
It can't be said that the love she showed from the blind date to the marriage was all supported by her acting skills.
"Meiyun, tell me again, were you married in your last life? Did you have a partner?"
Lu Changzheng heard such a bizarre story tonight, and it happened to his wife. He was destined to have a sleepless night.
"I'm not married yet. I'm busy making money. I've gone on many blind dates, but none of them worked out." Liu Meiyu answered casually.
Lu Changzheng was now very clear-headed and asked, "What about your partner? You said that the social environment will be much more open in the future than it is now, so have you ever been in a relationship?"
"Captain Lu, why don't you ask about the future changes and development of society? Why are you asking such trivial questions?" Liu Meiyu pulled the quilt, feeling that this was a fatal question. With the jealous nature of men, if she told the truth, he would definitely bring up the past again in the future.
"How can this be a small matter? Anything related to you is not a small matter." Lu Changzheng pulled the blanket off Liu Meiyun's head and insisted, "Just tell me. It happened in your last life anyway. I'm just curious. I don't mean anything else. Look at my past, even the embarrassing things I did when I was a child. Grandpa has told you everything."
Lu Changzheng was in his thirties, almost forty, but now he acted like a young man in his twenties, with his radiant face full of persistence and curiosity that refused to give in.
Liu Meiyu felt that if she didn't explain clearly, she might have to stay up all night.
Sighing, she asked the man to pour her a cup of hot water, then she sat up and said calmly, "I dated two people. One was when I was in college, but after graduation he wanted to stay in his hometown and I wanted to move to Beijing, so we broke up. Another one was when I was working, but we lasted less than a year before he met someone with better conditions and was two-timing. I found out and we broke up. Later, I focused on my career and was so busy that I didn't even have time to eat, let alone fall in love."
Liu Meiyu speaks the truth.
She had only had two relationships in her previous life, which came and went quickly. They were together if they seemed suitable, and broke up if they were not. It had been so long that she would not have remembered anything if Lu Changzheng had not dug deep into the matter.
Sure enough, after Liu Meiyu finished speaking, according to Lu Changzheng's character, he remained silent for a while.
Liu Meiyun kicked him under the quilt, "Lu Changzheng, you asked me to say this, what's wrong with you? You're almost 40 and you're still playing the game of innocence."
"I'm a pure person." Lu Changzheng said confidently, "I've only been in love with you, and I've never liked anyone else."
"Forget it." Liu Meiyu was rude and wanted to kick him again, but this time the man quickly grabbed her ankle and pulled her forward: "I can swear, absolutely, absolutely, I have never been attracted to other girls before I met you."
Liu Meiyun pulled her feet out and pushed the man away, "Do you know why the sky loves thunder?"
"What?" Lu Changzheng stared at his wife, looking puzzled.
Liu Meiyun: "It's because you men swear all the time."
“…”
After several seconds, Lu Changzheng reacted and showed his loyalty to his wife unconvincedly. Liu Meiyun hid under his quilt and quickly surrendered: "Oh, am I kidding you? These are just jokes I saw on the Internet. I'm not talking about you."
"Will the Internet really be as magical as you say?"
The couple had had enough fun and were sweating, and Lu Changzheng finally had time to become curious about the future Internet-covered society described by Liu Meiyun.
"Of course. Even though computers are still rare in China, they will be available in every household in a few years. They can also greatly improve work efficiency. In the future, people will not need cash to pay, but will just use their smartphones to scan QR codes. The same goes for smart watches."
Lu Changzheng found it both novel and incredible. He knew about computers, as their military academy had one, which was heavy. As for smart phones and smart watches, he found it hard to imagine how smart they were, after all, this was an era when even landline phones were not yet popular.
"Won't that mean many people will be unemployed in the future?"
Lu Changzheng got an important message from Liu Meiyu's few words.
If everything becomes intelligent in the future, traditional industries will definitely face huge challenges.
Liu Meiyun nodded: "In another ten years, there will be a wave of layoffs. Recently, in the next five years, several large state-owned enterprises will go bankrupt one after another. However, many unemployed people will go to the south to work and do business. Some of them have even become rich because of this."
"What about you? What are your plans?" When Lu Changzheng saw the light shining in his wife's eyes when she talked about the future, he knew that she would definitely not be so obedient as to graduate early just to get a stable job in the country.
"I plan to start a business after graduation. I will start with a clothing store to accumulate initial capital, and then do other projects later."
For fear of frightening the man, Liu Meiyu did not say anything specific, but she did inform him in advance of her plan not to work in a public institution after graduation.
"You won't object, right?" Seeing Lu Changzheng frowning, Liu Meiyun patiently explained: "Don't think that self-employed people are looked down upon now. In a few years, people will change their mindset. In the future, self-employed people will still be a part of driving the national economy and promoting employment. The country encourages their development."
"I have no objection." Seeing that his wife had misunderstood, Lu Changzheng quickly explained himself: "I just feel that if you graduate and start a business, you will definitely be busier. What will Dabao and I do then?"
"How can you starve to death?" Liu Meiyu rolled her eyes, smoothed the man's hair, and coaxed him, "I have been reborn once. In my last life, I worked hard to build my career. I must not repeat the same mistakes in this life. No matter how important making money is, it can't be as important as you and your son."
Lu Changzheng nodded in satisfaction, and then covered himself with the quilt. His magnetic voice continued to linger under the quilt: "Who is more important to you, me or my son?"
“…”
Liu Meiyu kicked the man rudely under the quilt: "Lu Changzheng, you are almost 40 years old, can you be more mature?"
"I just turned 35." What Lu Changzheng hates most now is hearing his wife mention his age.
He is half a generation older than her, and his wife is so beautiful that she can still be targeted by traffickers at the age of 30. However, his skin has become rough due to years of training in the wind and sun, and he looks older and older. He even feels stressed when walking on the street.
"Wife, please give me some face wipes when you go back. Don't use the greasy ones."
Under the quilt, the man was panting as he expressed his request. Liu Meiyu groaned, not even having the strength to speak any more.
