Chapter 6

"Why are you so surprised?" Zhao Fengying sat up and scolded her husband while stroking his back.

It’s because what you said was too scary, Wei Tao complained in his heart after coughing for a while.

If this really happens, when Huo Xiao comes back, where will he find a wife for him?

Although for the sake of the country and the nation, when accepting the mission, the soldiers were prepared for the possibility of sacrifice in all aspects.

But, that's the last resort.

However... Wei Tao put the teacup on the bedside table, stuffed his wife, who was not wearing a shirt, into the quilt, and lay down himself before asking inconspicuously, "Why do you bring this up all of a sudden? Didn't you admire Huo Xiao before?"

It's only been four months and you're already arranging for your wife to remarry?

Zhao Fengying sighed, "I admire her now, but we have to be conscientious. If she had lived in the family compound before, the organization might have arranged for someone to meet her. Isn't that what everyone does... Another thing, I didn't say that I would suggest Xiaoting remarry now. Didn't I discuss the matter of the dragon and phoenix twins with you first?"

That's true, but Huo Xiao didn't sacrifice himself. Wei Tao felt uncomfortable, but he couldn't tell his wife directly. He could only turn over irritably and turn his back to his wife.

Zhao Fengying was puzzled: "Hey! Talking."

Wei Tao: "Let's talk about it later. I'm sleepy."

"Hey, you old man." Zhao Fengying hit her husband in dissatisfaction.

Wei Tao remained silent, but began to think in his heart.

It has been four months. According to the multiple calculations made before the mission, Huo Xiao should be back soon.

Alas...if you don't come back, your wife will remarry.

Maybe it was his wife who acted as matchmaker.

How scary!

In the second bedroom separated by a wall.

Ruting had no idea that she had become the topic of conversation among the brigade commander and his wife.

For her, this trip was a complete success.

The most troublesome train ticket has been bought, the time is 5 pm tomorrow.

Brigade Commander Wei said that he had arranged for guards to take her to the train station.

Otherwise, a half-day drive would take her two days to get there on her own.

This time, Li Ting did not refuse, because the load for the return trip was too heavy for her to carry.

Everything... is going in a good direction.

Feeling relaxed, she took a relaxing nap.

Of course, she didn't feel comfortable sleeping too long.

I borrowed the alarm clock before going to bed and got up at four o'clock to help my sister-in-law make dinner.

"You slept well this time, and your face is rosy, unlike this morning when it was so pale." Zhao Fengying happened to come into the room from outside, saw the person, looked at him carefully, and nodded with satisfaction.

Tingting smiled and replied: "I can go home tomorrow. I am very happy and will sleep well."

Zhao Fengying put the vegetable basket on the ground, went to the kitchen to get a vegetable basin, and said, "You are still too rushed. This trip will take you another ten days. You haven't recovered yet. You should rest for a few more days."

"My family must be worried about me, and it's the same if I go back and take a rest." Li Ting moved a small stool and sat over to help clean up: "Can you still grow small greens in this weather?"

Zhao Fengying fiddled with some of the malnutrition leafy vegetables and said with a smile, "They won't grow well if they are covered with straw, so we'll just eat them fresh."

Tingting: "What are we going to eat with this?"

Zhao Fengying: "Didn't I soak peanuts this morning? I got a few ounces of soybean oil from the kitchen a few days ago. How about cooking vegetable porridge and steaming two sweet potatoes in the evening?"

Tingting: "Very good."

It should be said that just for the soybean oil, it was already a luxury.

Only the brigade commander's family is well-off to be so particular.

Of course, her presence was definitely one of the reasons, and this was also the main reason why Ruiting was in a hurry to leave.

"By the way, you have to pass through Shanghai on your way back, right?" After chatting for a while, Zhao Fengying asked as if she remembered something.

Tingting: "Yes, according to the time on my train ticket, I have to stay in Shanghai for another day and a half."

Zhao Fengying: "Then you should take the opportunity to go around. It's really not easy to go on a long trip. There are many things in Shanghai that don't require a ticket, and the prices are cheaper than here. I heard that there is a shampoo that is specially made for washing hair. It's a bit too particular, but your hair is so long that it's hard to wash it with soap, and rice washing water can't wash it clean. You can go and have a look."

Not to mention, when Ruting glanced at the thick black hair hanging in front of her body, she was really moved.

She actually loves beauty very much. Her skin was still fair and smooth when she was 28 or 29 years old. In addition to her good natural foundation, it was also due to careful maintenance.

Today, good skin depends entirely on youth, but this may no longer be the case in a few years.

Maybe, I should take this opportunity to go and have a look?

Although it shouldn't be cheap, the original body brought out the wedding gift, plus the dowry given by her parents, the vanishing cream, toothpaste, shampoo, etc. should be affordable... right?

No, I can’t think about it too much. It’s even more heartbreaking if I think about it too much. I have to search for toothpaste too much.

But now she is the late sixties.

So...get used to it!

It looks like making money has to be put on the agenda.

But...isn't it a bad idea to keep buying and buying at this time?

What will my mother-in-law think?

And there are no secrets in the village.

Maybe the first time she used it, the whole village would know about it...

There really are no secrets in the village.

Especially after the loud speaker had been shouting for two hours.

Not to mention the entire Xiangyang Brigade, even several neighboring production teams heard it clearly.

It turned out that the young wife of the Huo family did not run away, but went to the unit where Huo Xiao was serving as a soldier to collect his belongings.

It has to be said that although Secretary Wang's actions were a bit exaggerated, they were able to quell the rumors as quickly as possible.

At least now when the villagers mention Ruiting, they are no longer full of contempt, but more admire his kindness and righteousness.

Of course, some people firmly believe it, while others are skeptical.

It’s just that the old secretary and Secretary Wang were keeping a close eye on us, so we didn’t dare to make our suspicions known.

Wang Xiuqin, who lived another lifetime, was the only one who firmly did not believe.

After all, according to her memory of her previous life, that bad woman, Ruting, ran away with the money and never came back.

But at this point in her last life, she was already married, so I’m not sure whether this incident would have been broadcast.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiuqin sighed again about her bad luck.

She lived to be thirty years old, had given birth to three money-losing children, not a single one with a penis, and was bullied by her husband and mother-in-law every day.

One night, it snowed heavily and she was very weak, so the old woman took her out to call for a barefoot doctor.

I felt dizzy on the road and had no idea where I fell. When I regained consciousness, I was already 20 years old again.

But the timing of her return was not good.

Because Huo Xiao and Lu Ting have been married for three days.

Only three days left!

If I had come back a few days earlier, how could that bad woman Lu Ting have had the chance to marry into the Huo family?

But it’s not too late now, she just waited coldly for Tingting to run away with the money like she did in her previous life.

Then whenever I have time, I go to the Huo family.

Since Aunt Hu Xiu could choose Lu Ting as her daughter-in-law, she would naturally choose her.

As long as she is considerate and filial, she will become a general's wife sooner or later.

When Wang Xiuqin thought of Huo Xiao’s height in his previous life, her heart was filled with excitement.

"Where are you going again? Can't you see it's snowing outside?" Zhao Sanni looked very unhappy when she saw the young lady with a basket hanging on her arm and dressed as if she was going out.

I was thinking in my heart that Qin girl has been like a lost soul since she went out recently. She is not home for a long time and I don’t know what she has been doing.

Zhao Sanni is very thin, one can even describe her as skinny.

Also because he was too thin, there was no fat on his face, making his already long face look even more mean.

In fact, she has a good temper and is a decent person, but her face is scary. Even Wang Xiuqin was afraid of her in the past.

But after living a lifetime and fighting wits and courage with the evil mother-in-law, why would I care about this cold face?

Look, she casually weighed the basket on her arm, and a smile appeared on her pretty face: "I'm going to chat with Aunt Xiu. She's been in a bad mood recently, and I think she's quite pitiful. Anyway, I'm sewing shoe soles everywhere, so I can chat with her and relieve her boredom."

Zhao Sanni was suspicious. She walked over to lift the cloth covering the basket and turned it over again. After confirming that there was only a thousand-layer bottom, she asked in confusion, "When did you become so close to your aunt Xiu? Isn't she the one who can't stand nagging?"

Xiu Meizi finally has something to look forward to, Qin Yatou's sharp mouth should not talk nonsense and spoil the excitement...

Wang Xiuqin thought to herself that she couldn’t bear to listen now, but wouldn’t she have to please her future mother-in-law?

By the way, she also put two candies in her pocket, intending to use them to appease the twins. This is an opportunity for her to show off.

Wang Xiuqin firmly believed that as long as she could keep the Huo family together, Huo Xiao would definitely marry her.

After all, that bad bitch Lu Ting also entered the Huo family in this way.

If she didn't take this opportunity to help someone out, she would be a complete fool.

Of course, these thoughts cannot be revealed.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiuqin ignored her mother's questions, covered her ears, and pushed the door open to go out.

In just a few breaths, it disappeared in the snow.

That back figure looks so urgent the more I look at it.

Zhao Sanni felt something was wrong.

She knows her own child well, it's not her who is slandering Qin Yatou.

To put it nicely, he is good at talking, but to put it bluntly, he is quite unreasonable and particularly likes to take advantage of others. He has been like this since he was a child and there is no way to change it.

It's no wonder that she, as a mother, is so suspicious that she suddenly changed her temper.

But don't tell me that he is using the excuse of looking for pretty girls to secretly date someone, right?

A few months ago, I saw her chatting and laughing with the boy from the accountant's house of Shanghe Brigade.

That boy has been conditioned by his family to be lazy and doesn't know anything about farming. He doesn't behave like a grandfather at all. How can he be a good husband?

Especially the elders in the Fang family are all worry-free. If the daughter really wants to marry into their family, won’t she be tortured to death?

No, the more she thought about it, the more worried she became. Zhao Sanni simply took off her apron and hurried back to the house.

In the dim room, Wang Liujin, who was lying on the earthen kang and smoking a dry cigarette, saw his wife's anxious look and asked in confusion, "What happened?"

Zhao Sanni put on a thick shirt again: "Nothing, just going out for a walk."

Wang Liujin looked back at the goose-feather snowflakes floating outside the window and became even more puzzled: "At this time?"

Zhao Sanni was not in a very good mood and said, "Why are you talking so much? I'm leaving now!"

Having said this, she picked up her needlework basket and hurried out without caring about her husband's reaction.

When he pushed open the door, he seemed to remember something and turned back to shout, "I buried a few sweet potatoes in the stove. They are ready to be eaten. Hurry and dig them out."

As the words fell, there was a sound of the wooden door creaking shut.

Wang Liujin muttered "this bitch" and then lay back on the kang.

Then he shouted to the west room: "Third brother, your mother is calling you..."
