It was two o'clock in the afternoon and the sun was scorching.
The sentry at the gate of the compound glanced at the roadside not far away from time to time, with a very complicated expression.
A relatively new 28-inch truck was lying in a stinky ditch on the side of the road, its rear wheels still puffing.
Jiang Shiyue collapsed on the edge of the ditch, soaking in the stinky water under the sun without moving.
She was trying hard to convince herself to accept the fact that she had traveled back to 1978.
It would have been fine if she had gone from being a business woman with a house, a car, savings, and a career to being transported back to the poor times of lacking food and clothing, but she also became a savage and unruly military wife.
She's also the mother of a three-year-old boy!
well!
After a long ideological struggle, Jiang Shiyue was forced to accept the fact. He sighed again and prepared to get up.
"Hello, Chen Ying!"
Jiang Shiyue, who had just pulled his legs out from under the bicycle, was frightened by the sudden loud greeting at the gate of the compound. His hands trembled and the front wheel of the bicycle fell into the stinky ditch again.
She couldn't help but look at the gate of the courtyard across the street with a bit of resentment.
The sentry who had been watching her but could not leave his post due to his duties was saluting a young man.
The man was standing sideways, so she couldn't see his features clearly. He was tall and thin, dressed in green, with his sleeves rolled up slightly below his elbows.
The sentry pointed in her direction and said something. The man nodded and walked towards her.
As the distance between the two people shortened, the man became clearer and clearer in Jiang Shiyue's vision.
He has a nose like a hanging gourd, sparkling red lips, thick eyebrows and big eyes, handsome and strong facial lines, wheat-colored skin, and is very masculine.
This is her husband Chen Shanhe.
No, it’s the original owner’s husband.
He was still the husband that the original owner had plotted against because of her ingratitude.
The original owner was an educated youth who went to the countryside. He could not endure the hardship and found an opportunity to sneak away from the farm and return to the city. As a result, he met human traffickers on the way and was rescued by Chen Shanhe who happened to be out on business.
Just like the snake rescued by the farmer, the original owner woke up and insisted that Chen Shanhe had seen her body, ruined her innocence and forced Chen Shanhe to marry her.
Chen Shanhe disagreed, so the original owner went to Chen Shanhe's workplace to make trouble.
In fact, the original owner just knew that there was no hope of returning to the city, and heard that the family members of the soldiers did not need to work, so he had evil thoughts.
Perhaps fearing that the "watch" chips were not enough, the original owner directly plotted against Chen Shanhe and made the matter a fait accompli.
Who knew she would get pregnant in just one night?
The original owner only wanted to enjoy the benefits of being a military wife. She neither really wanted to marry Chen Shanhe nor was she ready to be a mother. Ever since she knew she was pregnant, she had been making all kinds of noise in the compound.
The first two years were fine, but since the college entrance examination was resumed last winter, I started thinking about returning to the city again.
The compound is located in a remote area and has no access to information.
In 1977, there were only two months from the announcement of the college entrance examination to the start of the examination.
When the original owner found out, he had already missed the registration time, so he took his anger out on Chen Shanhe and the child.
This year, she heard from somewhere that married people cannot take the college entrance examination, and she insisted on getting a divorce so that she could take the exam, but Chen Shanhe disagreed.
Military marriages are different from ordinary marriages and are protected. As long as Chen Shanhe doesn't agree, the original owner can't divorce.
As the registration period for the college entrance examination was approaching, the original owner, realizing that divorce was hopeless, decided to run away from home.
Early in the morning, she tried to escape on a bicycle she had stolen from another family member in the compound, but her riding skills were not good enough. As soon as she got out of the door, she plunged into a stinky ditch and hit the back of her head on the gravel on the roadside. She died in her turn.
Chen Shanhe finally stopped in front of Jiang Shiyue and stretched out his hand.
Jiang Shiyue flinched, thinking the man was going to hit her. After all, the things the original owner had done were really bad.
Unexpectedly, her feet slipped and she slid down again. Just as her knees were about to hit the pedals of the bicycle, Jiang Shiyue screamed and covered her eyes.
Chen Shanhe: “…”
His brows were furrowed.
How could this woman be so stupid?
Can you avoid falling by covering your eyes?
But she is indeed stupid, otherwise why would she think she could sign up for the college entrance examination without even a letter of introduction?
Although he was complaining in his heart, he quickly grabbed Jiang Shiyue's arm and lifted it up.
With a crackling sound.
Jiang Shiyue and Chen Shanhe stopped at the same time and looked down at Jiang Shiyue's pants at the same time.
The pants covered with smelly mud had probably been hooked on a screw on the outside of the bicycle. When Chen Shanhe lifted them up, the seam on the outside of the right leg split directly from below the waistband to the heel, revealing long, slender white legs.
Under the sunlight and against the backdrop of mud, it looks even more like white porcelain.
Even the slits of cheongsams are not this high!
Jiang Shiyue frantically pulled at her trouser legs, which were almost fused together, trying to cover her exposed skin.
Chen Shanhe subconsciously shifted his gaze to the bicycle next to him, which was also covered in mud and severely deformed. His eyes grew colder, his thin lips pursed into a straight line, and he let go of Jiang Shiyue's arm.
"Da Liu gets a monthly allowance of 35 yuan, and he has to send 30 yuan back home every month. It took him three whole years to save up enough to buy this bicycle." Chen Shanhe suddenly spoke, his cold tone revealing a hint of anger that was hard to conceal.
Jiang Shiyue was stunned at first, then quickly searched through the remaining memories of the original owner.
Da Liu, the squad leader of the battalion's kitchen squad, bought a bicycle during his vacation back home to get married. He returned to the compound right after the wedding, and to save money, the couple took turns riding the bicycle, covering a distance of over a thousand miles.
I just arrived at the compound yesterday afternoon, and the original owner stole my bicycle early this morning.
Jiang Shiyue's eyes fell on the bicycle that Chen Shanhe had just fished out.
The front wheel of the bicycle was warped, one pedal twisted and stuck to the chain housing, the handlebars were crooked, and half the bell was missing.
Most of the car body was covered with mud and it was a terrible sight.
Jiang Shiyue opened his mouth and then closed it again.
What can I say?
Say it wasn't her?
No one believes it.
Chen Shanhe lifted the bicycle off the ground and then pushed it back onto the ground with a little force, and a lot of mud was shaken off.
After repeating this several times, I could barely push myself and take a few steps.
After giving the bicycle a simple "first aid," Chen Shanhe suddenly spoke, "I haven't wanted to get a divorce, not because I want to pester you. I mainly don't want Yangyang to be motherless at such a young age, and could be fatherless at any moment... Since you've made up your mind, I'll file for divorce when our leader returns. Don't worry, it won't delay your registration."
The tone was cold and indifferent to emotion.
Jiang Shiyue felt a little embarrassed, her face burning. She clutched the high-slit trouser legs with both hands to cover her white legs.
Chen Shanhe caught a glimpse of Jiang Shiyue's awkward movements, wiped the mud off his hands on his trouser legs, took off his coat and handed it to Jiang Shiyue, "Just cover it up! This coat is new and doesn't have any smell yet."
Usually, Jiang Shiyue disliked the smell of sweat and cigarettes on him and always stayed one meter away from him.
"Thank you!" Jiang Shiyue thanked him, took the coat, wrapped it around her waist, and fastened it from the second button below the collar down like a skirt, finally tying the sleeves in front of her waist. At the same time, she said seriously: "I was wrong to steal the bicycle. I will compensate... Da Liu."
Just like when she acquired a company in her previous life, she would normally have to assume the debts of the acquired company. Since she had taken over Jiang Shiyue's body, she had to be responsible for the mess she left behind.
