Chapter 133

There is really nothing we can do about this kind of thing.

Qiao Wei used to watch old TV series with her mother, and she saw a scene where a couple said something about another leader in private, and the child heard it.

Later, they were afraid that the child would go out and talk nonsense, so they gave in to the child in everything. The child knew that he could use this to control his parents, and he became more and more aggressive.

In the end, the couple had no choice but to tell others that the child was crazy.

Qiao Wei forgot whether he was sent to a mental hospital or a labor reform school.

Everyone has a time to be a nagging person in their life.

She told Sister Yang: "Don't talk nonsense anymore in the future."

Sister Yang nodded like pecking rice.

Qiao Wei said, "I have to go to work. I'm leaving first."

She got on her bike and rode a few meters away. The bike turned around and came back.

Sister Yang and Lin Xixi hurried over to listen to her instructions.

Qiao Wei did indeed have instructions.

"Go home and see if anyone has cut shoe patterns with the portrait of the Great Man or posters with propaganda slogans printed on them. Deal with them immediately."

"I mean to deal with them by throwing them into the stove and burning them. Do you understand?"

Sister Yang's face turned pale again.

Just by looking at Sister Yang's face, Qiao Wei knew that her words were not in vain. She must have them at home.

Sure enough, Sister Yang hurried home and really found a shoe pattern cut with the portrait of the Great Man. Lin Xixi was annoyed: "When did you cut it?" It was

really annoying.

Sister Yang said, "I couldn't find any paper that day, so I just picked one up..."

Lin Xixi grabbed it and lit it with a match.

Seeing the shoe turned into ash, Sister Yang finally relaxed and lay on the kang: "I don't know, I really don't know, this won't work..."

Women only spend their days around the stove and the stove, and there are no newspapers or TVs at home, so their political sense is much duller.

Lin Xixi searched the house and made sure there was nothing else, then went back to see Sister Yang: "It should be nothing. Be careful next time."

She was also shocked today.

She used to live in the countryside, her ancestors were poor farmers for eighteen generations, and she was of good family background, so she had never been affected. Unexpectedly, after moving to the city, she experienced it herself.

It was scary.

At noon, Lin Xixi started to prepare dinner. She went in to see that Sister Yang was still lying there.

"Auntie, you should go and cook for that guy." She pushed Sister Yang.

Sister Yang groaned twice: "I feel bad."

She was shocked today and couldn't calm down.

Lin Xixi said: "What should I do? I will cook and send it to him?"

Sister Yang sighed: "No. He is very picky. Otherwise, you can go and cook for him. He will have to teach you how to cook, it's not something you can just cook casually."

"Then what are you going to eat?"

"You go and cook for him first, don't let him starve. Come back and we'll make some noodles."

"Okay, I'll go then."

Lu Tianze didn't expect that the person who would come to cook today would be Captain Zhao's niece.

Lin Xixi came in and said hello: "Comrade Lu, my aunt... my aunt is not feeling well today, I will cook for you on her behalf."

She didn't speak Mandarin as well as Qiao Wei, but it was much better than Sister Yang.

Lu Tianze nodded: "Okay."

Lin Xixi was about to cook. She asked: "Is there anything I should pay attention to? My aunt said you have high standards."

Lu Tianze grinned: "No, just do it casually. I'll read a book, call me when you're done."

After that, he went into the house and closed the door. Although it was not closed tightly, the door was like a barrier, blocking it there, it was a boundary.

Lin Xixi didn't say anything and cooked silently. When

she finished, she didn't knock on the door and went in, calling him in the yard: "It's ready, you can eat."

Lu Tianze came out and saw that the food was ready and the pot was clean.

Lin Xixi said, "I'm going back."

Lu Tianze nodded.

Sister Yang lay down for a whole day.

Captain Zhao came back and was shocked: "What happened?"

Sister Yang has always been an energetic and healthy woman. She rarely gets sick, and she is very hardworking and never rests for a moment. It is rare to see her lying like this.

Captain Zhao was frightened by this sudden action.

Sister Yang looked at her man, thinking about the trouble she had caused, which might have almost implicated her man, and suddenly burst into tears.

Captain Zhao became even more panicked.

This woman, he was not afraid of her getting angry, but he had never seen her cry like this.

Captain Zhao coaxed and comforted her, and kept asking what happened. Sister Yang sobbed and told him the story.

Captain Zhao's face turned pale.

I felt that I was only a little bit away from retiring.

Qiao Wei pulled me back.

Looking at the old woman, I wanted to scold her, but her face was already covered with snot and tears, and I felt powerless.

Finally, Captain Zhao sat down on the square stool at the head of the kang, without saying a word, just smoking. After

smoking a cigarette, he asked in a muffled voice: "Have you learned a lesson?"

Sister Yang choked: "Yes."

"Can you remember it?"

"Yes."

Captain Zhao snorted and said nothing more. No matter

how much he said, it would be useless if he hit his head against the wall in reality.

He stood up.

"What are you going to do?"

"I have to go and say thank you to Qiao Wei."

This is no different from saving my life.

"Yeah, go ahead, thank her."

"Got it. Eh? You didn't go to cook for Tianze?"

"I've been feeling weak, so I'll let Xixi go."

"Okay."

Captain Zhao came over to thank him, and Yan Lei only then knew about this.

Qiao Wei said, "There's nothing to thank me for, I just want my sister-in-law to be more careful in the future."

Captain Zhao sighed, "She doesn't know anything."

"She doesn't know, you teach her." Qiao Wei didn't buy it, "Have you told her about what's going on outside? She washes clothes and cooks all day, and she doesn't even see a newspaper at home. She only knows the news by listening to the radio every day. You should open up a channel for her to understand."

Captain Zhao scratched his head, unable to refute.

When he got home, Lin Xixi had already returned and started to cook for the Zhao family.

Captain Zhao asked, "You went to cook for your uncle Lu, he didn't say anything, did he?"

Lin Xixi raised her eyelids: "What did he say?"

Captain Zhao said, "Nothing."

Lu Tianze was not a good guy, if he dared to talk nonsense to his niece, he would beat him.

He didn't say anything, Lin Xixi continued to cook noodles with her eyes downcast.

Sister Yang slept restlessly for several days, had night terrors, and sweated.

Captain Zhao went to grab a few and fried them for her, and then she felt better.

Lin Xixi was the one who cooked for Lu Tianze during those days. Seeing that she was honest, Lu Tianze no longer went back to the room when she came like he did at the beginning. Gradually, the two of them were able to talk to each other.

After Sister Yang recovered, she saw that Lin Xixi was cooking for Lu Tianze and thought it was nothing, so she asked Lin Xixi to cook lunch.

Sister Yang has been diligent all her life and has never taken a break. When Lin Xixi was at home, she also did housework without stopping. Who knew that after lying down every day for a few days due to the shock of illness, this person who had never taken a break in her life suddenly realized the beauty of "taking a break".

In fact, when the men did not come back at noon, they women at home would just do it casually and not cook properly.

It was Lu Tianze who came and increased her workload. Now seeing that Lin Xixi was cooking for Lu Tianze and thought it was nothing, Sister Yang took a break and asked Lin Xixi to cook lunch.

It was nothing.

During the Spring Festival, Lin Xixi brought back Lu Tianze's clothes as well: "I saw that he, a grown man, didn't know how to wash clothes properly, so I said I would wash his clothes for him."

Sister Yang said: "Your uncle said he wouldn't wash his clothes." Sister

Yang was diligent, so she said from the beginning that she wanted to wash Lu Tianze's clothes as well. It was Captain Zhao who didn't let her.

"There's nothing we can do if we can't cook." He sneered, "Everyone knows how to wash clothes. Every soldier washes his own clothes. This kid has had too many good days, it's time for him to suffer a little."

He also boasted, "When he was a new soldier, he was very arrogant and was not afraid of anyone. Yan Lei took the lead and beat him up under the quilt, but he still didn't obey, so he was beaten a second time and a third time until he obeyed. We let this kid wash our clothes for a month. Why can't he wash clothes now?"

Lin Xixi was surprised: "What is uncle doing?"

She said angrily: "Uncle, you have to choose the right time. Of course you can do it when he is rich, but what is his situation now? If you don't take care of him now, he will not think of you when he becomes a high-ranking official in the future."

Sister Yang said with a snort: "When did we expect him to take care of us in the future? Besides, who knows what will happen in the future? How do you know that it will be good in the future? What if... Hey, bah, bah, bah, don't say such sad words. Become a high-ranking official! Become a high-ranking official! You are still right. Let Tianze go back and be a high-ranking official in the future!"

"Okay, bring his clothes back and we will wash them in the future." "

Auntie, don't bother, I'll do it."

"Yes. You are young, you should do more. Let Tianze remember your kindness in the future."

Time passed slowly.

In a blink of an eye, it was October National Day again, and there was joy everywhere.

It had been a year since Lu Tianze took refuge in Xiahekou, and he suddenly received a letter from Beijing.

Pan's wife also called Pan. Yan Lei and Zhao heard about it from Pan.

They went back and told their wives, "Tianze's wife, no, the ex-wife... remarried."

Qiao Wei just shook her head slightly and said, "There's nothing to blame her."

There were too many such situations, Yan Lei sighed.

Then he looked at her.

Qiao Wei: "...What are you looking at?"

Yan Lei wanted to know: "If I was raped, and I divorced you first to save you and Xiangxiang, would you remarry?"

Qiao Wei said: "It's meaningless to make such an assumption. It depends on the situation at that time, how much pressure I face, and what difficulties I have."

Yan Lei threw her on the kang: "Can't you just say 'no' to comfort me?"

Qiao Wei asked back: "What if I was raped? I'd be miserable every day, bloody every day. You can't help at all. Now there is a sister who has real power, or she doesn't have real power, but her father does. If you just marry her, she can save me. What will you do?" There

is no need to choose this. Yan Lei answered directly: "If there is no other way, I will marry her and let her save you."

"Look." Qiao Wei supported her head and lay on her side, "So no one can make a promise for ten thousand years, right? I don't believe in promises. I only believe in living a good life every day."

Yan Lei lay there, looking up at her beautiful face.

He couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke her cheek.

Who hurt her and made her no longer believe in promises?

But he couldn't ask.

Sister Yang turned around and told Lin Xixi about Lu Tianze's ex-wife remarrying.

Lin Xixi just paused, said "oh", and said nothing more.

Because she and Lu Tianze have always been in peace, Sister Yang is more at ease to let her cook and wash clothes for Lu Tianze.

A year passed, she was honest, Lu Tianze didn't guard against her much, and was willing to let her go into the house to clean up.

She also washed his quilts and cotton padded jackets, and took good care of his daily life.

She knew what she wanted in her heart, but she didn't dare to act rashly.

In her previous life, this rural girl was bold and got pregnant before marriage.

Although she successfully married an educated youth from the city with the help of her father and brother's fists, this also became a stain on her life. Both her mother-in-law and husband used this incident to trample on her.

Lin Xixi didn't want to repeat her mistakes.

She didn't dare to act rashly in front of Lu Tianze, not even to tease or seduce him.

Obviously, she was much older than Lu Tianze in her two lifetimes, but she could feel that she was nothing in front of Lu Tianze.

After all, he was an experienced senior official from Beijing, and she was a woman who had been working around the stove for two lifetimes. She

always felt that Lu Tianze could see through her. Lu

Tianze really could see through her.

It was a sunny day in October, and Lin Xixi carried the washed clothes to Lu Tianze.

Lu Tianze lay on a recliner, basking in the sun with his eyes closed.

Lin Xixi greeted him, and he opened his eyes and nodded.

Lin Xixi was busy inside and outside, and he kept watching for a long time.

When Lin Xixi packed up his dirty clothes and threw them into the basin to take them home to wash, he put his feet down and sat up, with his legs wide open.

"Xiao Lin. Uncle is old, and I won't beat around the bush with you." He narrowed his eyes and asked the girl, "What do you want from me?"
