Chapter 3
This time, Yan Lei did not say "divorce or go home".
Of course, he hoped that his wife would go home with him. Divorce was never an option he wanted. But his wife had always been eccentric. Even though her delusional extramarital affair failed, Yan Lei was not sure whether she would definitely go home with him.
He looked stern, but he was not sure in his heart.
People's needs are really different.
Qiao Weiwei is young and healthy, has a husband and children, and is more eager for spiritual satisfaction.
Although Qiao Wei in another world did not lose both parents like Qiao Weiwei, her parents divorced when she was very young. Her mother who raised her died before her. After she got a terminal illness, her father, who had never lived with her, ruthlessly abandoned her.
The last time they talked on the phone, he said, "Don't bother my life anymore."
Then he blocked her.
Her boyfriend also retreated in the face of her serious illness. After the last visit, he never contacted her again.
Qiao Wei had nothing at that time. She lost her relatives, her lover, and her job. In order to treat her illness, she sold her house and finally died alone and painfully in the hospital.
For Qiao Wei, who had such a life experience, having a healthy body and a home to return to was better than anything else.
What is poison to others is honey to me. Her needs are different from those of the original owner Qiao Weiwei.
Now, someone is calling her home.
Facing a man with a tightly bound face, Qiao Wei answered happily and affirmatively: "Let's go home!"
The joy and happiness in her tone could not be concealed, and her bright eyes looked at him with a smile, as if she was full of expectations for the future life.
Yan Lei could not help but be stunned.
Qiao Wei sat in the back of the jeep, feeling very at ease.
In this era, people who can use a small car mean that he can give "Qiao Weiwei" a stable life.
Qiao Wei had just arrived and received the memories of the original owner. She felt that everything in the world was familiar and unfamiliar, like watching a movie set. But thinking about the fact that her life was guaranteed, the uneasiness of coming to a foreign land was reduced a lot.
"Is sister-in-law okay?" The driver asked while driving.
The driver was a young man in his early twenties.
Qiao Wei thought of his last name as Zhang, and he was also called Driver Zhang. "
It's fine," she said.
"What did the doctor say?" Since he asked her, it meant that he didn't understand the situation, and he hadn't asked Yan Lei yet. Qiao Wei said, "It's just hypoglycemia." Considering that information was not well developed at that time, many things that were common sense in later generations might not be understood by many people here. Qiao Wei added, "Hypoglycemia means that the blood sugar concentration is too low, and people are prone to fainting. Drinking some sugar water or eating some sugar can help." "Oh! You have to eat sugar?" Driver Zhang was shocked, "It's a rich disease." "Sister-in-law knows a lot, she is indeed a cultured person." After the compliment, he said, "Is that lady a relative of yours? Why didn't she get in the car and go to the hospital with us, and didn't even send her off?" He was referring to the old lady who rented the house to her. Each era has its own characteristics. At this time, it is normal to visit relatives and live in their homes. If you don't live in your relatives' homes, either your relatives will neglect you or you will look down on them. Guests must be greeted and seen off when they leave. If you are not polite, you will be criticized. Driver Zhang followed to the diesel engine factory and waited outside, but saw no one. He followed to Huayun Road, and Captain Yan came out holding the fainted Qiao Wei. Only an old lady followed them. You say she is a relative, but she doesn't look like one. Captain Yan ignored her, and directly carried his wife into the car and asked him to drive to the hospital, slamming the car door. The old lady didn't say anything or follow. Qiao Wei's eyes turned from the scenery outside the window, and she happened to see Yan Lei's warning eyes in the rearview mirror. She searched the original owner's memory. It turned out that the original owner entrusted the child to a neighbor, using the excuse of "I'm going to visit relatives, and when the child's father comes back, you can give the child to him." The only person who knew the truth was Yan Lei, because the original owner left him a letter in the bedroom saying goodbye and asking for a divorce. She understood that the driver did not know the truth about Qiao Weiwei's elopement. Maybe he had guesses, maybe he was testing, or maybe he just wanted to gossip. But she and Yan Lei had to cover up this matter. Qiao Wei looked into the eyes of the man in the mirror. In her memory, this man was uneducated, vulgar, and had many "mud-legged habits." Of course, these things are very subjective impressions, all from the original owner. Qiao Wei received this information, but did not accept it completely. In fact, ever since she met Yan Lei after traveling through time, she had a good impression of him. See, he is quite scheming and he would keep things secret, which not only saves his face but also gives the original owner a way out. Now, the original owner's way out is the main road that Qiao Wei has to take. Qiao Wei smiled at the man in the mirror. Yan Lei frowned, deeply wondering if Qiao Wei had gone a little crazy because of a broken heart. She has been feeling weird since she woke up. How many times has she smiled at him? She smiled at him more times today than in all the years of their marriage combined. Yan Lei was worried that she would say something wrong and expose the scandal, which would embarrass everyone. Qiao Wei in the back suddenly sighed and said, "It's a distant relative. You know, I don't have many relatives. I finally got such a distant relative. When I heard that he got married, I rushed over to congratulate him. But I got a cold shoulder. His son is now a backbone of the factory and doesn't look down on me, a poor relative." The driver screamed, "Sister-in-law, you have poor relatives? No! How can you have one?" People look down on military families? Sister-in-law, you are the family of the regiment commander! What kind of relatives are you? "Qiao Wei said: "It's my fault too. We haven't seen each other for many years. I said that my mother passed away, my father passed away, my father's position was taken by someone else, and I don't have a position anymore. I didn't have time to say that my wife is an officer in the army." The driver slammed the steering wheel: "I said! Sister-in-law, didn't you tell them later?" "Tell what." Qiao Wei said, "Is it necessary to keep in touch with such relatives in the future?"
The driver clicked his tongue: "That's their loss, sister-in-law did the right thing! We don't want such people."
Yan Lei retracted his gaze from the rearview mirror and looked ahead: "Drive well."
In the provincial capital, you can still see two four-story buildings, but it's suddenly different outside the city. It doesn't even feel like there is a rural-urban junction, and it's as if you've entered the countryside directly.
Yan Lei didn't speak, and Qiao Wei didn't speak either. She stared at the scenery outside, all she could see were green farmlands, which were particularly vibrant. She watched with relish.
In her memory, the original owner came here by long-distance bus, with many stops in the middle, many people getting on and off, and a lot of luggage, so it took most of the day to get there slowly.
The car was much faster, and it took more than two hours to drive. The main reason was that the road was not good enough, and there were flocks of sheep, chickens, ducks and poultry that would block the road from time to time.
When encountering such a situation, the driver was also helpless, sticking his head out of the window and asking the villagers to quickly drive the sheep aside.
Yan Lei glanced at Qiao Wei in the rearview mirror. He thought Qiao Wei would be impatient. She hated these the most.
She was a city girl who had always longed for the provincial capital and hated the countryside.
But after she married him, she could only live in a town near the military base, where the military dependents who followed the army lived. The conditions in the town were much worse than those in the city. He knew that she married him for a good life, but this one thing alone made her too disappointed.
She always wanted him to change his career. Military officers can usually go to better units after demobilization. If they work around, they can go to the provincial capital.
But Yan Lei is only 26 and has no intention of demobilization. He has been to the battlefield, and the geopolitics around the country is complicated. He may have to fight again in the future.
He is indeed not well educated, unlike her who went to high school, but he went from a rural boy to a military officer. Everything he has now comes from the country and the army. He is full of passion and still wants to serve the country with his life.
They have argued about this many times, and later they were too lazy to even argue. The two of them had nothing to say.
Yan Lei originally thought that as long as he could maintain a family, he would be fine. He didn't expect that high school students were so naive that they were seduced by some specious poems and sweet words from others, and actually eloped without their husbands and children.
He glanced at the woman in the back car again.
It was really strange. She looked at the sheep and chickens outside with a smile on her face, as if she liked them very much.
She obviously hated these things the most in the past. She hated the town being surrounded by the countryside and connected into one.
Yan Lei frowned again. He didn't know how many times he had frowned that day.
Qiao Wei liked this kind of pastoral scenery very much.
She watched with relish as driver Zhang and his fellow villagers chattered, their voices as loud as if they were quarreling. Finally, driver Zhang handed a cigarette to the fellow villager, and the fellow villager quickly drove the sheep away.
Qiao Wei couldn't help laughing.
The driver complained: "This is how the roads in the countryside are." He
felt a little sorry for his cigarettes.
Speaking of cigarettes, her memory was activated again, and Qiao Wei remembered that there were cigarettes in her "home". Yan Lei, this man, also loves to smoke.
She looked over and saw Yan Lei smoking.
From this angle, you can see his profile. The jaw angle is strong, the eyebrows are long and thick, and the nose bridge is very straight.
It's the male protagonist! Of course he will be handsome.
How can you be the male protagonist without a good-looking face.
This reminded Qiao Wei that she had traveled to the world of the book.
In this world, the original body was a cannon fodder who never showed his face. In fact, even when she was reading it, she was enjoying talking about how the heroine married the widower hero first and then fell in love, and how she became a virtuous and good stepmother - this kind of stepmother story was very popular for a while.
No one cared about the original wife who was cannon fodder.
Especially since the heroine is a reborn girl. In her previous life, she despised the hero because he had children and was too old, so she married the educated youth she liked who went to the countryside, and ended up living a miserable life after marriage. In this life, she knew from the beginning that the hero had a bright future, so she tried her best to marry the hero and curry favor with him, and lived a good life from then on.
It was just a very happy story.
But now Qiao Wei has traveled through time, and the heroine's very happy story is her big BE.
This won't do.
She traveled through another tragic life. Now, she has a young and healthy body, a handsome and promising husband, and a home waiting for her to return.
All of this cannot be taken away by others.
Especially when she thinks of "home", her heart becomes uncomfortable, and a small figure appears in front of her.
"Mom, when will you come back?" the child asked when he was entrusted to a neighbor.
The child did not know that he was abandoned.
The original owner Qiao Weiwei died of grief and despair, and handed over her body and life to Qiao Wei who traveled through time, but at the same time, it also left a deep mark in Qiao Wei's heart - the guilt for the child and the regret for abandoning the child. For
all of this, the original owner hoped that the traveler could make up for her.
It was like a deal.
Qiao Wei accepted the deal. She accepted a healthy body, a handsome husband and this home, and what she paid for was to give the original owner's child a happy life.
It's fair.
Therefore, Qiao Wei cannot become a faceless cannon fodder in the story like the original owner.
The story has changed since the moment she came through.
This marriage must continue, so in the future... Qiao Wei glanced at the rearview mirror again, and once again met Yan Lei's gaze -
Hello, male protagonist.
From now on, I am the female protagonist in your life.
