Chapter 6
Lin Xixi was very surprised.
From what she knew, Yan Lei's first wife died in the provincial capital.
No one knew that she had eloped.
Many years later, Lin Xixi was living in poverty. Once she met her aunt, who said with emotion: "I wanted to introduce you to Yan Lei, but you refused. Do you know what level he is now? You will regret it if you tell him."
Only then did she know that the person who was almost introduced to her was already a person whose name was often mentioned in TV news and newspapers.
Then Lin Xixi's aunt gossiped again, talking about the death of Yan Lei's lover, and said that there was news later that she had eloped.
My aunt slapped her thigh and said, "I said it was a bit strange back then. I didn't have a good relationship with her, and she suddenly entrusted the child to me. I felt something was wrong. It turned out that she ran away with someone."
At that time, Yan Lei's comrade-in-arms, Captain Zhao, wanted to introduce his niece Lin Xixi from the countryside to Yan Lei, whose wife had passed away. But when Lin Xixi heard that the other party was already 26 or 27 years old, much older than herself, and had a child who was a second marriage, and was also from the countryside like them, she was not happy and did not come to meet him at all.
She yearned for the city, chose a husband who was an educated youth, and fortunately followed him back to the city, and she was also glorious for a while. Who knew that she would not live a good life later. Her husband was a loser and lived a life of poverty. Later, he lost his job and left his job, and the family became poor.
That year, she went to borrow money from her aunt. When she heard her aunt talking about the marriage she missed when she was young, she really regretted it.
That man became a high-ranking official, but the husband she chose herself was so poor. Because she was a country woman, her mother-in-law and husband looked down on her. She worked like a slave all her life, but when she got older, her family didn't even have enough rice to cook.
She took the borrowed money and went home in a trance. She was hit by a car on the road and died. She closed her eyes and was reborn at the age of 18. Her
husband, an educated youth, had not yet been sent to their production team. She was still a virgin, the most beautiful girl in the village.
After her rebirth, she didn't want to live a life of poverty anymore. After looking around, among the people she knew, the one who finally left was the divorced man that her uncle wanted to introduce to her.
She remembered that eight or nine months later, her uncle sent someone to take a letter back to ask her to go to the military area to find him. But as a village beauty, she was very proud. She was not happy when she saw Yan Lei's various conditions in the letter, and she wanted to find a real city person. In the end, she didn't go and missed it.
This time, she didn't wait for her uncle to write to her mother again, but came directly.
She convinced her mother to let her go to her uncle. Her mother had been blinded and could write a few words crookedly. She wrote a letter to her brother: "Find her a partner in the city."
In this era, if a person had a promising future, he had to bring the whole family and even the whole village. Captain Zhao took in his niece who came to seek refuge, and wrote a letter to his sister in the countryside to tell her that his niece was with him, so that his sister could rest assured.
It happened that Captain Zhao's family had five children, and his wife was also having a hard time living alone. After Lin Xixi came, she was particularly diligent, and her uncle and aunt liked her very much.
But there were six children in the family at that time, and the extra little boy's surname was Yan. Lin Xixi vaguely guessed it when she saw the child. Upon asking, it turned out that the child named Yan Xiang was Yan Lei's son, and Yan Lei's wife had run away.
Yan Lei would soon go to the provincial capital to find her, and then find that she was very ill. She was sent to the hospital for rescue but died.
Then she could marry Yan Lei, and she would be a superior person in the future, and her future life would be completely different from her previous life.
Especially, when she saw Yan Lei in person, she was simply stunned.
This second-married man who she imagined to be a peasant turned out to be so tall, handsome and stylish.
Thinking back on her past life, she was filled with regret!
Fortunately, she was reborn so that she could curry favor with someone in time.
She was quietly waiting for the news of Yan Lei's wife's death so that she could get promoted, but Yan Lei came to pick up Yan Xiang today and actually said that his lover was back.
Lin Xixi was a little confused.
Sister Yang asked him what he was going to eat for dinner. Yan Lei said he would go to the cafeteria to get it later. Sister Yang was a kind-hearted person, so she told him not to go, and she would add a little more to each dish and cook them together. Lin Xixi took the opportunity to make an extra egg drop soup, saying that she would help serve the soup, and followed over to see it with her own eyes.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a woman with half-dried hair.
She had fair skin and was wearing a men's white shirt. Maybe because she had just taken a shower, her skin was white and tender with a rosy glow.
Alive and healthy.
Is this Yan Lei's lover? How come she is not dead?
The heroine Lin Xixi's face was full of shock, which was quite interesting.
Qiao Wei pulled the towel off her hair and asked Yan Lei: "Who is this girl?"
Yan Lei didn't know why Qiao Wei wanted to wear his shirt. He said: "This is Xiao Lin, Lao Zhao's niece. She just came a few days ago. You were not here."
The timing was just right. The day after Qiao Wei entrusted Yan Xiang to Captain Zhao's lover, Lin Xixi came.
Although Lin Xixi was surprised and doubtful, she came back to her senses. She was also a person who had lived a new life, so she immediately called out "sister-in-law".
Unexpectedly, Qiao Wei smiled slightly: "You called me the wrong name. You should call me aunt and him uncle."
She glanced at Yan Lei with a smile.
Yan Lei was putting two lunch boxes on the small table in the yard. Hearing this, he glanced at her.
It's quite strange. They are obviously an old couple who have been married for several years, but today his wife looks particularly beautiful?
Appearance reflects the heart.
Qiao Wei and Qiao Weiwei share the same face. When he married the original owner, it was half because she was educated and the other half because she was beautiful. But later, the original owner could not communicate with him spiritually, and the marriage was unhappy. A woman's unhappiness is really reflected in her face. Lifeless eyes and downturned mouth corners directly lower her appearance.
Qiao Wei was reborn, and she was full of joy. She had just taken a shower, and she was full of energy from the inside out. Of course, she looked good.
Lin Xixi's eyes sparkled: "Captain Yan is still so young, how can he be called uncle?"
Want to be friends with Yan Lei as an equal? So the heroine has made up her mind to cling to the hero, right?
Qiao Wei smiled and asked her: "How old are you?"
"Seventeen."
Qiao Wei turned her head to look at Yan Lei: "Old Yan, how old are you."
What kind of a name is Old Yan? Doesn't she call him Yan Lei every day?
Yan Lei complained in his heart and replied: "I'm twenty-seven."
He is used to reporting his age.
"Look, he is ten years older than you, and he is already an old man." Qiao Wei said lovingly, "Besides, you are Lao Zhao's niece, and you are a generation apart from us. Lao Yan, don't you people in the countryside pay the most attention to seniority?"
She deliberately emphasized the word "rural".
Yan Lei felt that Qiao Wei was despising his rural origin again. He coldly retorted Qiao Wei: "That's called etiquette. If the seniority is messed up, it's called ignorance of etiquette."
Lin Xixi was blushing.
Because in the countryside, seniority is very important. Even if the uncle is only ten years old and the nephew is already thirty years old, he must open his mouth and call him grandpa, and can't call him randomly. Otherwise, it means he doesn't know etiquette.
Lin Xixi wanted to be equal to Yan Lei out of selfishness. It would be fine if she married Yan Lei, but now she didn't marry him. From Captain Zhao's point of view, she was indeed one generation younger than him. Calling him sister-in-law was just a lack of etiquette.
She didn't expect that Yan Lei would get angry in front of her.
Qiao Wei said seriously, "Hurry up and take what's in Xiao Lin's hand."
Yan Lei turned around and saw Lin Xixi still standing there stupidly with the enamel basin. In fact, she could take two steps to put it on the table. I don't know why she didn't take these two steps, but just stood there stupidly waiting for him to take it.
It feels like Old Zhao's niece is a little... not very smart.
Yan Lei went over to take the enamel basin: "Thank you. Please say thank you to my sister-in-law for me as well."
Qiao Wei deliberately said: "How about Xiao Lin sit down and eat together?"
This sentence woke Lin Xixi up, and she said unnaturally: "No, my family is waiting for me to eat."
Qiao Wei immediately said: "Then you take your time-"
Now she had no choice but to leave.
Lin Xixi glanced at Qiao Wei. This woman who should have died looked back at her without any guilt, as if her eyes saw through something.
On the contrary, Lin Xixi felt guilty because she had the big secret of rebirth. She looked away first and turned away.
She was still in shock all the way back. How could a person who should have died still be alive? Could it be...
A possibility came to her mind: Could it be that Yan Lei's lover was also reborn?
Yan Lei didn't care about Lin Xixi at all. The little girl, a relative of his comrade, was just helping to serve soup. How could he know that Qiao Wei and Lin Xixi had already fought.
Qiao Wei felt relieved to see him like this.
After all, it was a world of books, and she was afraid that Yan Lei's life was controlled by the plot and he would be attracted to Lin Xixi involuntarily. Now it seems that he didn't.
Lin Xixi was reborn from an unhappy past life and wanted to live a happy life. Qiao Wei understood.
But Qiao Wei finally had a family and a home, and she didn't want to be cannon fodder.
She didn't want to get involved in female competition, but they both knew that this era would have a turbulent decade, and they knew what the male protagonist's future would be like.
Even if she didn't want female competition anymore, Qiao Wei couldn't let the interests that were already in her hands be taken away by others.
The heroine wants a happy life, but she cannot sacrifice Qiao Wei as a prerequisite.
