Chapter 4

the other side.

After sending the troublesome men out, Zhao Fengying suggested: "Are you hungry, Xiaolue? If you are, I'll make you a pot of soup. If not, let's go take a bath first."

Zhao Fengying is about fifty years old, with a shaggy head and a serious and capable temperament.

But when communicating with Ruiting, both his tone and his eyes were gentle and intimate.

Because of this almost considerate attitude, the shameless uninvited Ruting gradually relaxed: "...I want to take a shower first." She even stinks.

"Pfft... I guess so. But it's right for you to dress like this. As a lesbian, it's safer to be a little rude when traveling. There's nothing to be embarrassed about." Zhao Fengying has met too many people in her life. In just a short while, she had figured out what kind of person Huo Xiao's wife is.

He looks rustic and inconspicuous, but he is actually a refined and elegant person. Now that he is so shabby, it is indeed a bit difficult for him.

Of course, Zhao Fengying's evaluation of Lu Ting's appearance was soon broken...

A little after one in the afternoon.

There was no one else in the bathroom.

The two chatted while washing up.

But soon, Zhao Fengying stopped talking.

She stared at the girl beside her who had changed drastically, her eyes filled with surprise and astonishment.

Frankly speaking, her fondness for Tingting when they first met was mainly due to the fact that she traveled thousands of miles to collect her husband's legacy.

There is also the little girl's soft-spoken speech and her reserved and refined behavior.

Of course, there is also the understanding and sympathy of fellow military wives.

Therefore, even though the girl's appearance was not outstanding, Zhao Fengying didn't think it was a big deal.

After all, at her age, character is much more important than appearance.

But at this moment, looking at the girl with her head and face washed, Zhao Fengying felt speechless for the first time.

It was only when she saw the other person suddenly shut up and stared at her blankly that she realized what was going on and touched her face, smiling and explaining, "I had applied some medicine on my face before."

Zhao Fengying nodded: "I can see it." As she said that, she glanced at the other person's slender figure and fair skin, and felt even more amazed in her heart.

As she was applying soap foam to her hair, she saw her sister-in-law still looking at her. She thought her sister-in-law was curious, so she explained: "Medicine is herbal juice. It doesn't hurt the skin and can be washed off with water. In the past... when I went to school, I had to take the train. My family was worried, so they asked the barefoot doctor in the village to make herbal juice for me."

Fortunately, the original body brought the potion when it came out, otherwise in such a chaotic era, Ruiting would definitely not dare to run around.

The bathroom was filled with mist. Through the hazy gauze, the girl with black hair and fair skin looked even prettier. After staring at her for a long time, Zhao Fengying agreed, "Your family is right. At your age, you have seen the world, but you have never seen anyone as good-looking as you. You must not hide your appearance when you go out."

This was too much of a compliment. Ting Ting didn't know how to respond. She just gave a shy smile and continued to scrub her long hair.

I haven't washed my hair for nearly ten days, and I don't have a proper shampoo, so it's really hard to take care of.

Zhao Fengying also just reacted. Xiao Lu just mentioned that he used to go to school by train. She suddenly realized: "I remember, my husband Wei once said that you are still a college student."

Hearing this, thinking of her original regret, she pursed her lips and said, "I only studied for two years and don't have a diploma, so I can't be considered a college student."

"Why not?" Zhao Fengying didn't want to question the policy issues, but it was a great achievement to be able to get into university.

It seems that if nothing had happened to Huo Xiao, this outstanding girl with both good character and appearance would truly be a match made in heaven.

Thinking of this, Zhao Fengying felt depressed and lost the mood to chat. She just packed up her things...

After taking a shower, I washed my clothes with the hot water in the bathroom.

After returning home, she ate a bowl of noodle soup prepared by her sister-in-law, and then, at her sister-in-law's urging, went to the second bedroom to rest.

She really couldn't hold on any longer, and she lay down in the soft quilt and fell asleep in a few seconds.

Naturally, she had no idea that after she fell asleep, Brigade Commander Wei rushed back and re-examined her appearance after washing off the medicine.

What they didn't know was that because of her arrival, many soldiers in the army had spontaneously organized donation activities.

The next day.

Ruting was awakened by the wake-up call.

She lay in the warm quilt for a long time before slowly coming to her senses.

After realizing where he was, he sat up with a grunt, then turned around and picked up the watch under the pillow.

Five thirty in the morning.

She rubbed her face in frustration, and once again lamented how inconvenient it was to not have a mobile phone.

What’s even more depressing is that after sleeping for more than ten hours, I still feel extremely lazy.

Maybe she was too tired or stressed, but she seemed to have a bizarre dream.

But I can't remember what I dreamed about specifically.

Ruting didn't make it hard on herself. She rubbed her aching head, got up, put on her shoes and got out of bed.

After tidying herself up, she took out a red plastic mirror and placed it on the table. Then, imitating the original owner, she began to braid her own hair.

She had not been in the mood to take a closer look before, so this was the first time she had carefully observed the appearance of this body in the ten days or so since she came into this world.

It is indeed just as I remembered, and is 80% similar to me.

The difference is not in the facial features, but in the dress and temperament.

If it were changed back to the old outfit, it would be almost the same.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, she moved the mirror closer and, not surprisingly, found a teardrop mole under the right corner of her eye.

She was already bright and beautiful, and because of this mole, she looked even more charming.

It's just... amazing.

Do two people really look exactly alike?

Maybe it’s from past life or present life?

After all, time travel has happened, so what else is impossible?

But on second thought, I felt that there was nothing to worry about.

It is an indisputable fact that she became the star of the late 1960s.

The most important thing to consider right now is how to survive.

Thinking of this, Lu Ting lost her curiosity immediately and braided her hair neatly and placed it in front of her.

He looked in the mirror again to make sure he looked the same as before he stood up to draw the curtains.

It was already blue outside the window.

She opened the windows a little more and let the cold air blow on her face.

Now I am completely sober.

At this moment, there was a slight movement outside the house.

Ruting guessed it was her sister-in-law, so she closed the window again, took her toiletries and went out.

Brigade Commander Wei went out for drill.

My sister-in-law was the only one in the living room.

Seeing her, Zhao Fengying greeted her with a smile: "Are you awake? Let's go brush your teeth and wash your face together."

Ruting walked over quickly and said a little embarrassedly: "I slept too soundly."

Zhao Fengying took a new ladle from the cabinet and handed it over: "Use this to scoop water for brushing your teeth... Every time I take a car, I have to lie down for a few days before I can recover. Don't be polite to your sister-in-law, just have breakfast and go back to sleep."

There was no way she could sleep anymore, she had to go back as soon as possible.

So after they had washed up and went into the kitchen to make breakfast, Tingting talked about her plans and again brought up the idea of ​​calling home.

Zhao Fengying is kneading dough.

She had been with the army in Chengdu for more than ten years and was somewhat influenced by the local diet.

But Xiao Lu was a girl from the north, so she specially took out some fine flour from her home to treat him and planned to roll some noodles.

Hearing this, he immediately laughed and said, "I just said I forgot something. My age has made me lose my brain... Old Deng called yesterday."

Tingting scooped water from the water tank to wash the vegetables in an unpracticed manner: "Did you call?"

Zhao Fengying: "Yes, sister-in-law is not hiding it from you. The troops need to verify your identity, and I'm here to let you know you're safe."

Li Ting nodded: "It should be." There are many unstable factors in this era, such as spies.

The smile in Zhao Fengying's eyes grew even brighter: "I'm glad you understand. If you still want to call, I'll go with you after breakfast."

Tingting: "That's not necessary. Let's go back and sort out Huo Xiao's things."

"What's the hurry?"

"The elderly and children at home are waiting." She said it calmly, but only she herself knew the helplessness in her heart.

Who would have thought that it would only take a blink of an eye to go from a single noble to a married couple with kids.

Thanks to the buffer period of more than ten days, I would not have been able to be so calm.

The dough has been kneaded. Zhao Fengying took out the rolling pin from the chopstick cage, twisted some flour and kneaded it evenly on the surface. While spreading the dough, she replied: "Yes, it is like this after having a child. In the past, I, Qingshui, Wen, and Meufen were all digging and eating. And the restless Erqi Wuerba family also suffered a lot when they were young. They couldn't go anywhere. It was only after they took action in the past two years that they stopped..."

Suddenly, Zhao Fengying paused in her movements and remembered that Xiao Lue came into the family to be a stepmother.

But now Huo Xiao is dead again. This girl is only 21 years old, still a virgin, with good character and appearance. It is only a matter of time before she remarries.

Thinking of this, Zhao Fengying glanced at the girl who was cutting vegetables without leaving a trace.

Maybe...she should talk to Lao Wei and raise the child under someone else's name.

Others did not know the origin of Huo Xiao's twins, but those who were close to him knew very well whose children they were.

"Sister-in-law, shall I start the fire?"

Zhao Fengying came back to his senses and looked at the girl who had already sat down next to the stove. There was no sign of anything unusual on her face. "Go ahead and light the fire, but don't make it too big. I'll lay down the eggs first."

Tingting: "Okay."

After the noodles are cooked and served.

Brigade Commander Wei also returned after finishing his drill.

However, he did not eat at home. He greeted Lu Ting, said he would arrange the return train ticket, and then left in a hurry.

Ruting never expected that before she even asked her leader for help, he had already solved her most embarrassing problem, and she was extremely grateful.

Seeing this, Zhao Fengying handed her the chopsticks and urged her with a smile: "Eat quickly, or it will affect the taste if it clumps." Then she turned to the counter and took out a plate of dried radishes: "You can handle spicy food, right? This dried radish is spicy."

Tingting: “I can eat spicy food.”

Zhao Fengying: "As long as it's edible, I couldn't get used to it in the first two years after I came here, but now I can't live without spicy food. By the way, after dinner, I'll take you to Old Deng's house. He keeps all of Huo Xiao's things."

Tingting: "Thank you, sister-in-law."

"You are just too polite."

"......"
