Chapter 2

Yan Lei had a quarrel with Qiao Weiwei before and refused to divorce. He did not go home for several days and slept in the camp. He never expected that his wife would run away.

When he returned home, he found out that Qiao Weiwei had entrusted the child to a neighbor and left a letter for him.

Yan Lei came from a rural area in a poor area. He was illiterate before joining the army. He learned to read after attending a literacy class in the army. He opened the letter and saw that Qiao Weiwei was determined to divorce him and pursue her own happiness.

Yan Lei was bitter and angry, but in the end he gritted his teeth and came to the provincial capital to find Qiao Weiwei. If possible, who would be willing to let a family break up?

But before coming, he also thought that if Qiao Weiwei was determined to live with her prince charming, he would not drag his feet and would let go.

Their union was a mistake. When they were dating, many comrades advised him that the girl looked too thin and weak, and did not look like someone who could work. There was a hint of resentment between her eyebrows, and she did not look like someone who could make a living.

But at that time, he wanted to find a girl with a high education. Among the girls that caught his eye that day, only Qiao Weiwei had graduated from high school. Although she dropped out of school halfway, she was an intellectual in Yan Lei's heart. Yan Lei had awe for "scholars" in his heart, so he looked up to her.

But Yan Lei did not expect that this educated girl really could not live with him. They had various conflicts since they got married. But because Qiao Weiwei got pregnant soon after the wedding, with the blessing of the child, the marriage was able to maintain for a few years.

Unexpectedly, it was time to fall apart.

He wanted to live with educated people, what a coincidence, Qiao Weiwei also thought so.

The technician had communicated with Qiao Weiwei too frequently before, and Yan Lei felt something was wrong. However, his education level was just that he had just become illiterate and could recognize words. The technician's letters were always full of things like what Ski said and what the husband said, which was so confusing that he couldn't understand.

When Qiao Weiwei read these letters that he couldn't understand, tears always welled up in her eyes.

It was really hell!

Qiao Weiwei ran away, and he was furious, so he still chased her. Divorce hurts everyone in the family too much, so he still wants to try to save the marriage once more.

The last time.

Today, when he arrived in the provincial capital, he went directly to the diesel engine factory and asked someone to call the technician out for a private talk. After all, he couldn't make it public that he was cheating on his wife, so he could only hold back his anger and talk in private.

The technician saw him in a military uniform, guessed who he was, turned pale, and confessed directly: "Qiao Weiwei and I are just classmates. I got married yesterday, and she came to eat the wedding candy."

Yan Lei thought Qiao Weiwei eloped with him, but he was stunned when he heard it, and he knew something was wrong. He calmed down and pressed the issue, and finally understood that it was Qiao Weiwei who was willing.

The technician had written many letters to her!

Yan Lei grabbed his collar and lifted him up, gritting his teeth and asking, "What are you going to do to seduce her!"

Compared with the tall and strong Yan Lei, the well-mannered technician looked like a bean sprout. He said with his neck stiff, "We really have a pure, pure friendship. She just got it wrong. If you don't believe me, go and read the letters I wrote to her."

He passed the blame to Qiao Weiwei.

The technician was confident that Yan Lei could not find any evidence against him. He never expressed anything directly in his letters to Qiao Weiwei. He knew very well what Qiao Weiwei yearned for, and he could always hook her between the lines, but if you say he seduced her, haha, there was not a single word.

Yan Lei had read those letters and indeed, they did not contain any seductive words, so he never understood why Qiao Weiwei was so fussy and insisted on divorcing him. But his intuition told him that this bastard was seducing his wife with words!

In fact, if Qiao Wei, whose soul had traveled to this world, were to see it, she would be able to see it clearly.

The technician... was actually just flirting.

He was just flirting for no reason and enjoying the ambiguous feeling of being worshipped, yearned for, and loved.

Qiao Weiwei was a married woman, and the technician felt that it was safer than flirting with an unmarried lady and he did not have to take any responsibility.

Ha.

"Where is she?" Yan Lei asked in a stern voice, not wanting to figure it out.

"I took a leave a few days ago to prepare for the wedding, so she was not there. She came to me and left a message for my colleague, saying that she was temporarily living on Huayun Road." The technician swallowed his saliva, "I only found out today when I went to work. I only saw her at the wedding yesterday. She ate a candy and left. Really, there were so many guests that I didn't get to talk to her, really."

He had to prove his innocence and not let Qiao Weiwei take advantage of him. He was already the factory director's son-in-law.

The way Qiao Weiwei's husband stared at him was a bit scary.

The technician remembered that Qiao Weiwei had complained in a letter, saying that her husband came from the countryside and had no culture, like an "uncivilized beast."

Hiss, this description is quite appropriate.

The technician didn't know that Yan Lei had been to the battlefield, had experienced the test of blood and fire, had killed enemies with real guns and bullets, and had seen the mutilated bodies of many comrades.

People who have had such experiences are different from ordinary people. The most intuitive way is reflected in their eyes.

Qiao Weiwei yearns for educated college students, who are gentle and polite. She hates people like Yan Lei.

A marriage that is incompatible in every aspect is a tragedy.

Yan Lei stared at this asshole college student for a while, let go of his collar, and turned around.

The technician breathed a sigh of relief.

Yan Lei took two steps, stopped, suddenly turned around, and punched the technician in the face, knocking him to the ground, with his glasses shattered, his nose bleeding, and stars in his eyes.

He strode out of the diesel engine factory and returned to the jeep: "Let's go to Huayun Road!"

Just like that, he found his wife who had run away from home.

Yan Lei certainly didn't know that the person he found was no longer Qiao Weiwei, but Qiao Wei.

He kicked the door open and went in, gave Qiao Wei a choice, and then waited for her answer.

This small, dilapidated house is very low, without even a window. There was only a small hole high in the wall for ventilation. The room was dim, and there was a bad smell of mold.

Yan Lei looked over and saw that his wife was still as thin and slender as before, with fair skin. But her face seemed particularly white today, so white that it was bloodless.

It should be said that it was pale.

Yan Lei was filled with anger.

He thought she was in love with someone else, but it turned out that she was just foolishly self-indulgent. It turns out that a well-educated person has such a dull brain! What a waste of all her years of studying!

The woman standing a few steps away from him leaned on the table and stared at him, but did not give him an answer.

Yan Lei became impatient and was about to speak again. Suddenly he saw Qiao Wei smiling at him.

That smile was calm and peaceful, an expression his wife had never had in the past few years.

Yan Lei was slightly startled, and then he watched the fair and slender woman fall down.

Yan Lei was the first person Qiao Wei saw when she came to this world.

"First" always has some special meaning. And he is her husband in her current identity, which means that in the future, she and him will inevitably have many entanglements.

Qiao Wei, who was reborn, couldn't help but smile at the man who represented the beginning of her new life, and then she couldn't hold on anymore and fell forward.

Before she lost consciousness, she felt as if she had fallen into a strong arm and was caught steadily by someone...

...

Qiao Wei gradually regained consciousness and seemed to hear someone talking.

The woman's voice was scolding with a hint of anger: "...This is not the old society anymore. You are a cadre, right? How can a cadre family make a person malnourished? Look at how thin this female comrade is! What are you doing? Are you treating people like animals?"

The man did not make any excuses or retorts, but just kept saying "umm" and "yes".

Perhaps because she felt that the man's attitude was not bad, the woman's tone was a little better and she said: "She can leave when she wakes up. Give her something good to eat to replenish her body."

The man: "Hmm."

The voice was low and deep. Qiao Wei immediately recognized that the voice was that of Yan Lei, the husband of the original owner Qiao Weiwei.

She received Qiao Weiwei's memories and even emotions, and for a moment she felt disgusted with the owner of the voice. Fortunately, the disgust from Qiao Weiwei soon disappeared, and Qiao Wei was in control of her emotions.

She was familiar and unfamiliar with Yan Lei, but at least she would not hate him, because she was not Qiao Weiwei after all.

But Qiao Wei lay weakly on the bed, sorting out the information in her mind, knowing that from now on she had to continue living as Qiao Weiwei.

The original owner Qiao Weiwei wanted to divorce the male protagonist, which was really naive.

She originally chose marriage as a way out because she couldn't bear the hardship of being a worker.

Now her parents are both dead and she has no other relatives. The most important thing is that she has no work unit.

Now, her only identity is as Yan Lei's wife and a military dependent. But if she leaves her husband Yan Lei, she will completely become an individual without organization and unit.

In this era, a person without organization and unit basically cannot survive. Even setting up a street stall is not allowed. In this era, only the disabled and the elderly who are widowed and lonely are allowed to set up stalls, and the rest are speculation.

The original owner may not have thought about how to live without Yan Lei. Love really makes people stupid.

Of course, it may also be that the author is lowering her intelligence. After all, she is cannon fodder, and the meaning of her existence is to make the heroine a "stepmother" so that she can raise a baby.

To be honest, in a novel, what better way is there than to follow the male protagonist?

No.

The female protagonist is reborn, but she would rather marry Yan Lei than be a stepmother.

Under the premise of knowing that the future benefits are clear, being Yan Lei's wife is the best choice for both Qiao Wei and the female protagonist.

Just as she was lost in thought, there were footsteps, the sound of a door opening, and then the worn blue curtain was "swish" opened. It turned out

that she was not the only one in the ward. This was a four-person room with two empty beds and an old lady lying on another bed, who seemed to be sleeping, so the room was quiet.

Qiao Wei turned her head and met Yan Lei's eyes.

Yan Lei stared at her.

Qiao Wei and Yan Lei looked at each other for a moment and wanted to get up.

Yan Lei pulled the curtain with his backhand, put down the aluminum lunch box in his hand, and reached out to help her.

His hands were big, dry and warm. Qiao Wei could feel the strong support on her back. Yan Lei held her arms again and pushed hard, and she sat up easily.

Yan Lei helped her lean against the head of the bed. He pulled the wooden stool beside the bed and sat down, opened the lid of the aluminum lunch box without saying a word, and passed the lunch box to her.

Dumplings.

Dumplings are something that Qiao Wei basically doesn't eat in later generations, unless it's during the New Year.

But at this moment, seeing the dumplings, Qiao Wei's mouth immediately began to secrete a lot of saliva, and she had a strong appetite.

She glanced at Yan Lei.

Yan Lei looked away and said in a cold voice: "The doctor said you are malnourished and told me not to starve you."

There was sarcasm in his words. Because apart from the house issue, he had never treated Qiao Weiwei badly in other aspects of life. As a result, Qiao Weiwei was away from him for a few days and became malnourished due to hunger.

The doctor checked her and found that there was no other reason for her fainting, she was just weak. Combined with the information given by the old landlady, she actually fainted from hunger.

No one knows what's going on with Qiao Weiwei better than Qiao Wei. A box of dumplings is not a good thing in later generations, but in this era it can be called refined food, which is exactly what the body needs at this moment.

Although the man in front of her looked cold, he did not say a word to defend himself when the female doctor scolded him just now, but bought dumplings for her.

According to the information Qiao Wei received, dumplings are not easy to get when you go out in this era.

Qiao Wei reached out to take the lunch box and said softly: "Thank you."

Yan Lei looked at her in surprise.

Qiao Wei smiled slightly, took the lunch box and put it on her lap, scanned it, and looked at Yan Lei again.

Yan Lei took out another roll of things without saying a word and handed it to her: "Here."

Chopsticks-this era, lunch boxes and chopsticks are standard personal equipment.

The chopsticks were placed in a sealed plastic bag that had been used many times, rolled up, but washed quite clean.

Perhaps because she had been observing the chopsticks for too long, Yan Lei said coldly, "I've washed them."

His wife had a cleanliness fetish and was difficult to please. He had experienced this countless times over the years.

Although he sounded impatient, this man actually washed the chopsticks for her, right? This was better than 90% of the men who only swore and did nothing.

Qiao Wei thought this was great. Because Qiao Weiwei's "cleanliness fetish" was a normal hygiene habit in her eyes.

In the future, Yan Lei will be her husband, the person they will live together. It would be great if he could take care of her hygiene habits.

Qiao Wei gave him an encouraging smile and praised him generously: "You are so considerate."

After that, she turned slightly to the side and ate dumplings with her back to him.

Today's wife made Yan Lei feel unfamiliar.

The man's eyes swept over her thin shoulders and back. Thinking that this might be due to the setbacks in her extramarital affair, he snorted and looked away again.

After eating a box of dumplings, Qiao Wei felt as if her body was recharged.

This feeling was so good.

In the late stage of the terminal illness, she could no longer eat normally, and was tortured by the disease every day. She wanted to die but couldn't.

Now, this body that was considered "weak" in the eyes of the doctor and Yan Lei was already too healthy for her, so healthy that she wanted to run, jump, and even sing to express her happiness.

Seeing that she had finished eating, Yan Lei took the lunch box, closed it, put it in a plastic bag, and stuffed it into his military green shoulder bag without her saying anything. After packing up,

he raised his eyes, sat upright and looked at Qiao Wei: "Go home?"
