Chapter 39

"Will you let her buy whatever she wants and use whatever tickets

she wants?" "A man earns money to spend on his wife."

"If she quarrels with someone else, will you help her?"

"Only if someone's head is kicked by a donkey would help someone else instead of helping his wife."

"What if the person quarreling with her is someone in your family?"

Yan Lei paused for a moment, but still said firmly: "Only when a couple is of one mind can they live a good life."

Qiao Wei got the answer she wanted.

No wonder Yan Lei and Lin Xixi have different auras, but they can still be very "sweet and doting" in the text.

It's because those behaviors that Lin Xixi thinks are very "sweet and doting" are actually the basic requirements that Yan Lei believes a husband should meet.

People don't have to feel ashamed when they fight for their own interests.

Especially when Qiao Wei traveled through time this time, she took on the identity of Yan Lei's current wife, the original wife. So even if Lin Xixi and Yan Lei had a sweet and loving happy ending in the original story, Qiao Wei would never give Yan Lei to her.

She and Lin Xixi, who was reborn with the purpose of "marrying Yan Lei", had a natural conflict of interest, so she would not feel guilty for competing for interests.

But she and Yan Lei have been together for a few days, and they have more or less been tied and have developed feelings.

If people talk about feelings instead of interests, they will feel uneasy and nervous. She would also feel guilty for "whether Yan Lei would have fallen in love with Lin Xixi but was blocked by me."

But now she understands. It doesn't matter

if it's Lin Xixi, Lin Duoduo or Lin Chaochao, as long as this person actively wants to live a good life with Yan Lei, Yan Lei will achieve the so-called sweet HE with the other party.

Qiao Wei's inner uneasiness finally disappeared.

If anyone is fine for Yan Lei, as long as they can live a good life, then let her, the original wife, do it.

Yan Lei looked at Qiao Wei's face and felt that this life-threatening question seemed to have saved his life.

He glanced at the yard and shouted: "Yan Xiang! Stop eating!"

The couple hurried out, and sure enough, Yan Xiang was still eating.

In addition to various practical utensils for daily use, the market also has agricultural and sideline products brought by various communes. Among them, Qiao Wei especially likes various dried fruits and dried sweet potatoes.

Yan Xiang had already eaten a lot of good things with Qiao Wei at the market. Now, while the two adults were talking in the house, he opened his pocket and ate handfuls of dried fruit.

In this era, this is such a good snack, satisfying and enjoyable.

But you can't eat it endlessly, especially for such a young child.

Seeing that his parents came out, Yan Xiang quickly stuffed a large handful of it into his mouth, and then covered his mouth.

Sure enough, the next second, the pocket "flew" away from his eyes and was carried away by his tall and mighty father.

Then his mother slapped him on the forehead and said angrily: "Still eating! Still eating! You will have a stomachache later."

Yan Xiang changed his hand from covering his mouth to covering his forehead.

"Ho Shi! (Delicious)" he said with puffy cheeks.

Of course it tastes good, it’s all natural, dried in the sun and wind, without any pollution. Qiao Wei also fell in love with it as soon as she tasted it, and bought a lot.

She took the bag, shook it, and asked Yan Lei: "When is the next big market?"

"July is the last one." Yan Lei said, "As soon as the school is on vacation, the double rush will start."

Qiao Wei had no idea about the definition of "double rush" and didn't dare to ask. Fortunately, Yan Lei followed her and said: "Rush to harvest, rush to plant, rush to plant early and late, harvest rice."

Oh, so it was this kind of thing.

"The market will be open after the busy farming season, which will be in August."

"Okay."

Qiao Wei went to pick up the various things she bought today.

Yan Lei also had things he needed to sort out—he bought

some vegetable seeds. Qiao Wei watched him looking for bowls and pots to soak his precious seeds. He really treasured them and was very careful. He stared at the seeds in the water as if he was looking at a lover.

Tsk tsk~.

As long as he was happy, that was enough.

While tidying up, Qiao Wei discussed with him: "We should use something to fence off the vegetable garden, bricks or something. Also, I want to pave a road from the gate of the yard to here. What do you think of pebbles? I see there are quite a few in the river. Let's go pick them up and bring them back to pave the road."

Yan Lei asked: "How are you going to pave it?"

Qiao Wei told him her idea, and Yan Lei laughed: "You think it's so simple. You think you can just pave it directly."

Qiao Wei was dumbfounded: "No way?"

After thinking for a while, she said: "Does it need to be fixed with cement?"

Yan Lei smiled and shook his head.

Qiao Wei snorted, "As if you know everything. Have you ever paved a road?"

Yan Lei said, "Of course I have. We have done everything from paving roads to building bridges to building houses and raising pigs. We soldiers have done everything." He

actually paved a road before.

"Okay." Qiao Wei was annoyed by the practical man. "Then you tell me how to pave it. I'll listen to you."

Yan Lei said, "If you want to get pebbles, go ahead and get them. I'll take care of the other materials."

Great, that means she's only responsible for the fun part.

Qiao Wei happily agreed.

Although I really want to imitate the transformation videos I've watched before, I also know that a video of just a few minutes may be the author's workload for several days, and it's the kind of work that makes the author so tired that he can't even straighten his back.

Of course, the author always shows the most interesting parts to the audience, and those that are not so interesting and dirty and tiring are slightly skipped.

Qiao Wei is just a person who likes dragons more than flowers. She only wants to do the most interesting parts that are most in line with pastoral fantasy. Yan Lei will take care of the other dirty and tiring parts. Very good, this is what a couple should do.

"Finish your vegetable garden first. Does your soil still stink?" Qiao Wei stretched her neck to look at the vegetable garden.

"A little bit! A little bit!" Yan Lei said hurriedly, "It doesn't smell anymore. If you dry it in the sun tomorrow, it will be completely odorless."

Qiao Wei glanced at him with a smile, and went to the kitchen with her beans, dried mushrooms, pickled radishes, and dried fruits.

Yan Lei placed the bowls for soaking seeds on the windowsill one by one, wiped his hands, and quickly picked up the shovel to turn the soil in the vegetable field. The river mud had dried thoroughly. If he turned it over again and continued to bask in the sun, it would really have no smell at all.

She would not dislike it.

This was what Captain Zhao reminded him of when he went to drink at his place after they had a quarrel that year and dug up the vegetable field.

"What fertilizer are you digging? You still think you are at home in the country." Captain Zhao pointed at his nose and said to him, "Don't you think about what kind of wife you married? A city wife! It's strange that she can stand it."

Captain Zhao reminded him that he could use river mud instead.

In fact, nothing is as good as the fertilizer he dug up himself. And he didn't need it anymore. He had dug up all his vegetable fields and would not plant them in the future.

At that time, I really thought that I would never plant again, but I didn't expect that there would be a day when I would plant again.

Yan Lei sighed as he turned the soil, it turned out that people had to go through some things in order to grow and make progress.

She is much more tolerant now than before. Once a person's mind is open, the day will suddenly become smooth.

Here, Qiao Wei and Yan Lei are in a bright mood like the sunshine today, but Lin Xixi is not in a good mood.

First, she met Yan Lei again at the market, which reinforced her feeling from last night - this man is quite annoying.

In short, without considering other external factors, just talking about this man, Lin Xixi is now a little annoyed with Yan Lei.

Lin Xixi was originally a middle-aged aunt. At this age, people especially like to preach to young people, pointing fingers and meddling in their affairs. In Qiao Wei's era, this is called daddy style.

Then she is a reborn person. The miraculous experience has brought strong self-confidence to this aunt who was in the dusty 1990s. She feels that she is standing on the shoulders of the times and can look down on everyone in this era.

This sense of superiority makes her confident and happy.

Who knew that Yan Lei, this man, is more like a father than her. It directly extinguished her joy.

It's... really annoying.

Last night, she was thinking about his future and fantasizing about wealth and splendor, so she could still bear it.

But what did she see at the market today? He was carrying a bamboo basket on his back. What did he buy? Homemade cloth, hand-woven cloth shoes and even straw sandals.

He even bought straw sandals!

Suddenly, the illusion brought by the word "big official" collapsed, and it was no longer so bright and shining.

The fact that Yan Lei, like her, was born in the countryside, began to become clear and strong.

Human nature is so difficult to resist. Although Lin Xixi told herself that this and that were not important, and that being rich and powerful in the future would be important, she realized at this moment that she was still the same as when she was young, and what she really yearned for in her bones was the city.

She spent half a lifetime and still didn't really turn herself into a city dweller.

Just last night, Yan Lei pointed at her and said that she could be seen as a farmer at a glance. He didn't know how much this remark hurt Lin Xixi's lungs.

Lin Xixi and Xiao Zhang wandered aimlessly in the crowded market, trying to ask Qiao Wei about her trip to the provincial capital.

"Her relative is not very good, she is an old lady, not warm at all." Xiao Zhang said, "This kind of relative can't move around."

Why is it an old lady? Shouldn't it be elopement?

But Lin Xixi found that she was not very interested in this matter.

At this time, she looked at the many farmers who looked like mud-legged people in the market, and some small town residents who were not much better than farmers, and she felt disgusted. She

even felt disgusted with Zhang Guoqiang - he was also from the countryside, and he had a strong accent when he spoke, and often used local dialects in his words.

At this time, Lin Xixi once again faced her true heart and found that she still liked city people for decades.

She really hated the countryside and the place where she was born. Even after more than 20 years of suffering in the city, she hated it more than when she was young.

After wandering around for a while, she said goodbye to Xiao Zhang and went home.

There was no one at home. Everyone was still shopping at the market and they had agreed to have lunch at the market. She didn't want to cook and lay down all afternoon.

Sister Yang and Captain Zhao came back with Wu Ni'er and thought she was sick when they saw her. She looked

listless. What's wrong?

Lin Xixi didn't cook dinner in the evening and just lay in the room. Sister Lin brought the meal to her: "What's the matter? Can you eat? If not, let's go to the town health center. If not, let's go to the county hospital."

The elder sister-in-law, who was like half a mother-in-law, entrusted her daughter to them. As a younger sister-in-law, she didn't dare to let her niece get into trouble here.

Lin Xixi took the food, but she had no appetite.

Sister Lin saw that something was wrong and sat down next to her: "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't keep it to yourself. Sister-in-law is not an outsider. Sister-in-law is also for your own good. Tell me, is it that things didn't go well with Xiao Zhang today?"
