Chapter 90 The Two of Us Decide
“Piaopiao, I don’t know anything about the meaning of the word ‘rebirth’. But I just want you to understand one thing: no one in this world will stay in the same place forever, waiting for someone else to come back without changing anything.”
She paused, looking at her intently.
"People are always growing, and once you miss an opportunity, it's truly gone. Sometimes, you won't even have a chance to go back and try again. Do you understand what I mean?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Piaopiao froze on the spot, staring blankly at Qiao Wanyin for a long time.
She suddenly reached out and grabbed Qiao Wanyin's arm tightly, her voice trembling as she asked, "Qiao Wanyin, what...what do you know? Who exactly are you?"
"hehe."
Qiao Wanyin chuckled softly and glanced at her calmly.
"Who else could I be but Qiao Wanyin? Piaopiao, what's wrong with you today? We're childhood sweethearts, don't you remember me anymore?"
Before Liu Piaopiao could react...
Village Chief Liu hurriedly ran out of the yard, apologizing to Qiao Wanyin with a forced smile while quickly pulling his agitated daughter back into the house.
On her way home, Qiao Wanyin was still thinking about it.
Fu Li'an will probably take the initiative to talk to her about what just happened and Liu Piaopiao's strange words.
But to her surprise, Fu Lian didn't mention that matter at all.
She thought to herself that she was fortunate that she hadn't hesitated at the crucial moment and had decisively taken his hand.
Such a handsome and outstanding guy as him actually became her partner.
This feeling is truly like a dream!
As for Fu Li'an, he was of course unaware that Qiao Wanyin was thinking about these things.
But whenever he thought about how the two of them had officially registered their marriage and were now a real couple, he couldn't help but feel waves of joy welling up inside him.
He quietly reached out when she wasn't looking.
Qiao Wanyin's heart trembled slightly, but she did not struggle or pull her hand away, but let him hold it.
And so, the two walked slowly side by side.
Suddenly, Fu Lian spoke softly, his tone gentle yet tinged with concern.
"Wanyin, our unit is stationed on a small island near Haishi. The conditions there aren't great, and the environment is quite harsh. Will you... find it difficult to adjust?"
Qiao Wanyin smiled with her head down.
"Have you forgotten? I grew up in the countryside. Unlike those pampered young ladies, what's a little hardship to me?"
She continued speaking, her tone becoming somewhat subdued, as if recalling the past.
"Besides, how hard can things be compared to before? In those years, we didn't even have enough to eat, and our clothes were tattered and worn out, but we still made it through, didn't we?"
"Don't worry, I won't let us go hungry. If I have a bite to eat, you'll have a bite to eat too!"
Fu Li'an glanced at her sideways, his gaze slowly settling on Qiao Wanyin's face.
Looking at her clean face, he suddenly felt a surge of warmth in his heart.
She remains as carefree as ever!
Even if at this moment one is about to leave their familiar hometown and enter an unknown new life.
Even the real difficulties she faced could not break her.
Her smile was always so open and honest.
He paused for a moment, then added softly, "But it's not that bad. The army still provides basic food and clothing."
"That's good then, at least we won't go hungry!"
Qiao Wanyin grinned upon hearing this, waved her hand casually, and patted Fu Lian'an's arm lightly as she spoke.
She tilted her head, her eyes bright, and asked with a smile, "Is there anything else that hasn't been tidied up? I'll come over and help you organize it."
“My dad said that he left in a bit of a hurry this time, and the wedding banquet can't be held, but our family still needs to get together for a reunion dinner…”
Fu Lian explained calmly.
"Even if it's just setting up a table and letting relatives have a celebratory meal, it's still a formality."
"Your family..." Qiao Wanyin frowned slightly, her tone hesitant, "We got the marriage certificate without even informing them... Is that a bad idea?"
She knew that Fu Li'an's parents were not very warm towards her and already had some prejudice against her.
Now, they got married quietly without even saying goodbye.
This would likely be even more unacceptable to the in-laws, and they might get very angry, affecting their future relationship.
"Need not."
Fu Li'an's answer was resolute.
"We can call back and tell them after we get to the unit."
"Getting married is our own choice, it's a matter between the two of us."
Qiao Wanyin understood the concerns of both sets of parents.
Especially considering that she herself came from an ordinary family.
Fu Li'an, however, works in the military.
This huge gap in identity and environment has existed from the very beginning.
But then again, isn't living all about constantly adapting to different environments?
What's this about being naturally suited or unsuitable?
Aren't they all built through hard work and genuine effort?
Life with a soldier may be tough.
But for her, it was a new beginning.
Therefore, regarding the various challenges that lie ahead in the future.
Qiao Wanyin wasn't worried at all; on the contrary, she was secretly looking forward to it.
Accompanied by their families, who were full of worry and advice, Qiao Wanyin and Fu Lian embarked on their journey.
The train made a heavy rumble as it pulled away from the platform.
Qiao Wanyin leaned against the car window, her expression beaming with joy.
Her nose was pressed against the glass.
"Mai Dong, look at those mountains over there!"
She suddenly pointed out the window and said excitedly, her tone full of surprise.
"It's so big and tall!"
"Yeah, it's pretty tall."
Fu Li'an smiled gently and handed over a glass of warm water.
The water was just poured from a dark green military water bottle.
The bottle is slightly worn, but it is very clean.
He held the cup with both hands, moving it very carefully.
Qiao Wanyin took the water, lowered her head and drank a few mouthfuls, the cool water going down her throat.
I felt more energetic.
After finishing her water, she turned her gaze to the window with great interest, a satisfied smile on her face as she looked out.
Since transmigrating into this historical novel, she has been busy making money all day long, and has no spare time or mind to properly appreciate the landscape.
The train rumbled and sped along, seemingly without end.
I don't know how long the car has been driving.
Qiao Wanyin felt her legs were a little sore, so she stood up and patted her skirt.
"I'm going to the restroom."
She said it softly.
Fu Li'an stood up at almost the same time.
Do you want me to stay with you?
Before he could finish speaking, the train suddenly jolted violently, its body swaying precariously.
He instinctively reached out and supported her arm.
"No need."
Qiao Wanyin quickly waved her hand and shook her head with a smile.
"I'm not a three-year-old child, I don't need to bring anyone with me when I go to the toilet!"
After she finished speaking, she gently slapped his hand away, a relaxed smile on her face, her tone slightly teasing.
"You sit still, I'll only be here for a little while."
As she spoke, she stepped across the carriage, her feet moving forward.
The train carriages were already packed with passengers along the way.
