Chapter 40

Lin Xixi relied on herself to be a reborn person and looked down on people of this era, but she did not dare to look down on her uncle and aunt.

Because in the past half of her life, her uncle was the only relative from her mother's side that she could show off. The respect she had in her husband's family was almost all given by her uncle.

Her aunt was very virtuous. Of course, she could not compare with her biological mother in terms of emotions, but the help she gave her was much better than that of her biological mother.

Lin Xixi still relied on her uncle and aunt very much.

She bit her lip and confided her thoughts to her aunt.

"There was such a person with a very good future. I had the opportunity to go on a blind date with him, but I didn't go. I missed it and felt bad."

Sister Yang thought it was something else, but it turned out to be such a thing.

"Well." She breathed a sigh of relief, "It's not like all the men in the world are dead. If you miss this one, there are still others. There are not many differences in our army, but there are the most young men!"

Lin Xixi felt uncomfortable: "Sister-in-law, you don't understand. His future is particularly good."

If Lin Xixi said how much she liked a young man, Sister Yang might still be embarrassed, but Lin Xixi kept saying "He has a good future" and "especially good."

That is to say, it's not this man that she likes. She just feels it's a pity to miss the opportunity, and she can't get over it.

"So what. You go back and meet him again?" Sister Yang sneered, "You already said that his future is particularly good. Why don't you think that if his future is so good, he will like you if you go to meet him?"

Lin Xixi was stunned.

"What's wrong with you? You haven't even met him, but you think he will be yours after just one meeting?"

"Even you know that there are so many young men with such a bright future. How come it's our turn?"

"Men with high aspirations, your uncle Yan is that kind of man. He doesn't even look at rural girls. He only wants to marry city girls. For a man like that, it's useless even if you go to meet him." Sister

Yang took the opportunity to bring some private information and pushed Yan Lei in.

She didn't know that Yan Lei was the one that Lin Xixi missed and regretted so much.

Lin Xixi was completely stunned.

Before she died, she heard her aunt tell her how the man she didn't go on a blind date with became rich and powerful later. She regretted it so much that her intestines ached.

What is regretful? It is missing out.

What is missed? Until just now, she thought that what she missed was the wealth and status of being an official's wife.

Until just now, Sister Yang woke her up with a word. She, she actually missed just a blind date - even if she came for the date at that time, Yan Lei might not be interested in her.

Because it is amazing that Lin Xixi and Yan Lei are surprisingly consistent in this matter. They are both pursuing "city people".

"Hey? Hey?" Sister Yang grabbed Lin Xixi's shoulders and shook her, a little scared, "Xixi, Xixi!"

Lin Xixi's eyes were wide open.

It turns out that the wealth may not be hers. Yes, when she was reborn, Yan Lei's wife was also alive and well. Isn't it God telling her that Yan Lei's wealth should not be hers?

Lin Xixi's goal since her rebirth suddenly collapsed. The obsession dissipated all of a sudden, and she became dazed.

She didn't eat, and just told Sister Yang that she wanted to sleep.

Sister Yang didn't force it, and took the food out again, hiding in the house and whispered to Captain Zhao about it.

Captain Zhao asked directly: "Who? Who is it?"

"I don't know, she didn't say." Sister Yang said, "But looking at this, I guess she has already talked about marriage?"

In fact, it doesn't fit Yan Lei to say this. Yan Lei has been married for several years, and the children are so big. The two of them felt that they might have wronged Lin Xixi before.

Captain Zhao asked, "So are she and Xiao Zhang dating?"

"Oh, I forgot to ask."

"I'll go."

"Don't go, the child is lying down. Let her think it through first. You can't force her on this matter."

"Don't worry." Sister Yang said, "She's not that old anyway."

Lin Xixi is very capable and can give Sister Yang a break. She is indeed young, so there is no need to worry for the time being. Sister Yang also wants to keep her at home for two more years so that she can be more relaxed.

Captain Zhao agreed.

On the other side, at Yan Lei's house, they had finished their meal. Yan Lei boiled a pot of soap bean water for Qiao Wei.

The soap bean was also bought at the market today, specially for boiling water for Qiao Wei to wash her hair.

The bathhouse is open twice a week, once on Tuesday and once on Friday. Qiao Wei missed the shower on Friday, and the next time she could take a shower was the following Tuesday.

In the meantime, she had to take a shower and wash her hair with her family.

Yan Xiang took off her shoes and sat on the newly bought bamboo lounge chair, her two white little feet dangling, sucking on a piece of dried sweet potato that was hard to chew, while watching her father holding the basin and slowly pouring out the boiled soap water, and her mother bending over to wash her hair with the flowing water.

While washing her hair, her father told her what to do on Monday. The two talked in low voices, accompanied by the sound of running water.

Yan Xiang struggled with the piece of dried sweet potato with all his strength.

At this time, Yan Xiang was still young and there were many things he didn't understand. But you can feel whether the air is hot or cold.

The air was warm this evening with the fresh scent of soapberries.

This picture was engraved in his long-term memory and later became his favorite scene to recall.

"It's pretty good." Qiao Wei affirmed the shampooing effect of soapberry water, "It has a good degreasing effect and feels very good."

"Yeah, this is something I've been using since I was a child." Yan Lei said, "In fact, there are a lot of good things in the countryside."

Qiao Wei said, "As long as it doesn't smell, I can accept it. Stinky ones are not okay."

Yan Lei chuckled and changed to warm water to wash her hair.

When they got on the kang at night, Yan Lei touched her waist and felt the rope.

"Aren't they all going to be gone?" he said.

"It's going to be gone, but it's not gone already."

"Then..."

"No." Qiao Wei refused directly.

Yan Lei was disappointed.

Qiao Wei gave him some scientific knowledge: "Although it's only a little bit, as long as it's still bleeding, it means that the cervix has not closed yet. If you mess around at this time, bacteria will invade and it will be easy to get gynecological diseases. That will be very troublesome."

Yan Lei didn't say anything for a long time.

Qiao Wei thought he was not interested in this topic, but after a while, he suddenly asked: "Will gynecological diseases cause crotch odor?"

"..." Qiao Wei said, "It's possible."

He asked again: "Gynecological diseases can be cured, right?"

Qiao Wei said: "Of course."

Yan Lei sighed softly in the dark.

Qiao Wei guessed that there must be someone who was related to this topic.

Something seemed to emerge in the memory, but the filter was particularly heavy, as if it was wrapped in a layer of isolation material and could not be seen clearly. As long as I wanted to search further, I would feel a strong sense of disgust and irritation. It

was even stronger than the disgust when I first met Yan Lei.

Qiao Wei couldn't ask Yan Lei either, so she could only skip this topic for the time being.

The next morning, when Captain Zhao got up, he saw that Lin Xixi had gotten up early and made breakfast for everyone.

Captain Zhao was particularly satisfied with his niece's diligence and kindness, and felt that he had to find a good in-law for his niece based on this.

"Xi, what's wrong, your face is so ugly." He asked.

Lin Xixi is very confused now. But years of living habits still made her get up early in the morning to make breakfast for the whole family.

Seeing her uncle got up, she also looked listless: "I didn't sleep well."

Sister Yang winked at Captain Zhao, asking him not to force his niece. Captain Zhao understood and didn't say much. He just remembered to ask while eating breakfast: "How was your trip with Xiao Zhang yesterday?"

Lin Xixi stopped eating her spoon.

Although her mind is still confused now and she hasn't figured out what to do in the future. But for now, she has to solve Xiao Zhang's problem.

If she doesn't make it clear, it will be assumed that they are dating.

"I don't want to date him." She told her uncle directly.

Sister Yang felt sorry: "What's the matter? Xiao Zhang is very smart."

The driver has a car. If they go to the city, it will definitely be more convenient and comfortable to let the driver drive than to take the bus. It is also very worry-free to let the driver help run errands.

The driver is a person who everyone has to maintain a relationship with. There are many advantages in daily life.

"You don't like Xiao Zhang." Captain Zhao asked, "Then what about Xiao Liu? Xiao Cao?"

Sister Yang also said, "Xiao Cao is good."

Lin Xixi knew that although she might not be able to marry Yan Lei, she would definitely marry someone in the future.

But Zhang Guoqiang is not okay, he is from the countryside. Others like Zhang Guoqiang are not okay either.

She relies a lot on her uncle and aunt for this matter, and she is not a real girl, she will not be shy about such things, and told them directly: "Uncle, aunt, I don't want to find someone from the countryside." Captain

Zhao was so angry that his neck stiffened: "You are from the countryside yourself. I am also from the countryside, and your aunt is also from the countryside."

"It is because we are from the countryside that we can't find someone from the countryside." Lin Xixi said.

In the era of planned economy, when you need a ticket to buy things, the countryside can actually surpass the city in terms of food. But in the future, after the reform and opening up, high-rise buildings will be built in the city, and the gap between the countryside and the city will be as big as heaven and earth.

"What a bad habit, the same as Yan." Director Zhao raised his chopsticks and poked and scolded.

Sister Yang said: "What's wrong with the child being a little arrogant. Besides, as the old saying goes, you should lower your head to marry a daughter-in-law and raise your head to marry a daughter. It's the right thing to do." "

Okay, okay." Director Zhao sucked on his chopsticks and thought, "Then Xiao Liu, Xiao Cao, Xiao Wang..."

"Aren't they all from the countryside?" Lin Xixi said faintly.

Although workers, peasants and soldiers are said to be one family, in reality everyone has a thread in their hearts: city people are city people, and rural people are rural people.

That's why Lin Xixi is so popular in blind dates. Because the candidates that Captain Zhao found for her are all from rural areas. In this era, the country's urbanization rate is only a little over 30%. Looking around, almost all the troops are from rural areas.

In the eyes of these rural men, Lin Xixi is simply the perfect daughter-in-law.

"Oh, looking for someone from the city..." Captain Zhao rubbed his chin.

This makes it more difficult.

"Uncle, I'm only seventeen." Lin Xixi said, "Don't worry."

Sister Yang also said, "That's right, don't worry. You write a letter to your sister, and let Xixi stay here and look for it slowly."

But after this conversation, Lin Xixi's mind gradually became clear.

"Uncle, I don't want to go back either. I can help my aunt here. I can do any job." She asked, "Uncle, do you think you can transfer my household registration first?"

Lin Xixi was still confused about what the future would be like. Those ten years were too chaotic, and any choice now seems to be risky.

But for now, at least we can take the first step first - household registration.

First, in terms of identity, change from a rural person to a city dweller.

The heroine's operation began to move in the right direction.

If Qiao Wei knew about it, she would have to give Lin Xixi a thumbs up.
