Husband Across a Thousand Miles in the Seventies [Transmigration]

Chapter 15

Views:

Since November, the weather has been getting colder day by day.

Following her sister's advice, Tian Mi walked for more than an hour along the route described by her brother-in-law, carrying snacks she had bought from the county supply and marketing cooperative and stepping on fallen leaves and branches. She asked several people along the way and finally found the Chen family she had visited several times eight years ago.

I have to say that after talking to her elder sister on the phone, she felt a lot more relaxed. At least she wasn’t as tense as she was yesterday.

It was not only because the eldest sister welcomed me to visit her, but also because she had actually found an excellent marriage partner for me.

Thinking of this, Tian Mi couldn't help but think of the misunderstanding between the two of them, and couldn't help but embarrass herself again.

Time goes back two hours.

Tian Mi listened to the elder sister on the other end of the phone praising the person to the skies, saying he was rare in the world, but she couldn't help but murmur in her heart.

Are there really such perfect people in the world

In fact, no!

Oh. That’s not the case. At least in the heart of eldest sister Tian Yu, this soldier named Lou Luhui is not perfect.

".So, how old is Comrade Lou?" Is he the age of a handsome uncle

In terms of personal aesthetics, when it comes to finding a partner, Tian Mi still hopes that the age difference between them is not too big. If he is seven or eight years older than her, it is considered a great achievement. If he is older, will they have a common language

Just as she was thinking about all kinds of things, Tian Yu's cheerful voice came from the phone: "He's already 29, and he'll be 30 in a little over a month. He's 9 years older than you. If he wasn't so outstanding, I wouldn't have mentioned this to you."

Tian Mi

Tian Mi covered her face in disbelief: "Why is 29 considered old?" She had just guessed 40.

"Is 29 not young? He's already an old man. When your brother-in-law was his age, he was already 10 years old, and he was still single, not to mention he's 9 years older than you."

No, actually she is not 9 years old. She was 25 years old in her previous life. Strictly speaking, there is only a difference of 4 years.

But there was no way to say this. Tian Mi pinched her earlobe which was beginning to feel hot, and glanced guiltily at the waiter who was knitting a sweater not far away. Then she turned sideways, suppressed her discomfort, and inquired more carefully.

Then, she pieced together the image of a taciturn, resolute, courageous, and handsome soldier from the various words of praise from her eldest sister.

"How is it? I asked Lou Tuan, he has a good impression of you, do you want to talk to him?"

Hearing this, Tian Mi subconsciously refused and shook her head frantically. Even though she knew her elder sister couldn't see it, she still shook her head like a rattle: "No, no, I don't know what to say, it's so embarrassing."

Tian Yu was very disappointed: "Why should I be embarrassed? This is how it works when introducing someone to someone."

"But... I don't even know what he looks like." Tian Mi felt uncomfortable all over. Her fingers were unconsciously picking at the small hole on the table. She didn't notice that the poor hole was getting bigger and bigger as she picked it. She just kept muttering to herself.

She has never been in a relationship. She was a little girl with a lack of sense of humor. After entering university, she fell in love with all kinds of extreme sports and took various certification exams. She had no time for romance at all.

Now he plays the direct ball right from the start, and the other party is a man whose appearance he can't even figure out. Is he planning to treat her as an online friend

Why

It seems like it’s okay to just treat us as netizens first

"It's okay about your appearance. Go to your brother-in-law's house later and ask my mother-in-law to show you the photos she sent back two years ago. I remember there was a photo with Lou Tuan. His name was written on the back of the photo. You can tell which one it is. But do you want to talk on the phone? If not, I'll hang up first." Even if it was a call from the army, they couldn't keep chatting endlessly. Besides, she was still thinking about her eldest brother Changqing.

Tian Mi thought about it, and finally nodded: "Let's chat for a while."

Special circumstances require special treatment!

He who knows the times is a hero. As a hero among heroes, since you have decided to find someone to marry in this era, you must learn to adapt to the environment.

Nowadays, there are people getting married without ever meeting each other. Looking at it in a positive way, her relationship can at least be considered a serious online romance.

Besides, we're not getting married right away. It's just a chance for us to get to know each other. If it's not suitable, then forget it.

Moreover, if you look at things from a different perspective, you will have new discoveries at different levels.

For example, if she doesn't know his appearance, she can more objectively understand his character from his words and deeds in the following conversation.

"Hello, Comrade Tian, I'm Lou Luhui!" Before Tian Mi could think about it for long, a deep and rich voice came from the microphone.

The opening remarks were very old-fashioned, but because of the other party's pleasant voice that sounded like a subwoofer, Tian Mi was unexpectedly stunned for a few seconds. She pursed her lips and said, "Comrade Lou, hello!"

The girl's voice was very close to her face, and it was so sweet and soft that it made people's hearts soften unconsciously.

Just as Lou Luhui was about to curl his lips, his eyes met the gossipy expressions of Chen Gang and his sister-in-law, and he felt a little uncomfortable for some reason.

If Lao Chen was alone, he would have raised his leg.

But his sister-in-law was there, and finally, he coughed lightly, moved his long legs, left his back to the two ignorant people, and then focused his attention on the phone again.

In fact, Lou Luhui didn’t know what to say. He had never been in a relationship, but as a man, he felt that he should take the initiative to express his feelings and fight for it.

So, after the two sides were silent for more than ten seconds, he spoke again: "Comrade Tian, let me introduce myself first."

".good."

"I've seen you." Lou Luhui didn't want to say that he fell in love with the girl at first sight for the time being, for fear of scaring people, but he didn't want to hide the fact that he had seen her, so he interjected.

What the hell? Self-introduction should not be about height, weight, hobbies, etc. No, Tian Mi came back to her senses from her confusion and asked in confusion: "Have you seen me? When?"

How is that possible? How long has she been in this world? Could it be her original self

Not to mention Tian Mi was shocked, even Chen Gang and Tian Yu were extremely surprised.

Especially Chen Gang. After being surprised, he walked to the opposite side of Lao Lou with a look of disdain on his face, as if to say, "I see through you, kid."

Tsk tsk tsk tsk. You beast, you must have been eyeing my sister-in-law for a long time!

Lou Luhui calmly turned around again and said, "Yes, I saw you about half a month ago when I passed by Chaoyang River." He didn't elaborate on the specific situation because he had a strong desire to survive.

On the other end of the phone, for some reason, after hearing the man's words and thinking of the elder sister's praises of Comrade Lou, Tian Mi's mind suddenly emerged the stunning glimpse of the slender-waisted, long-legged figure in green military uniform at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative on market day.

So you are... "Male Bodhisattva?"

Lou Luhui's expression cracked: ".?"

Although my brother-in-law's family lives in the county town, it is actually very marginal.

In the words of later generations, it is the suburbs. Of course, the suburbs also have their advantages. At least the houses are more spacious.

When Tian Mi finished his random thoughts, he was already standing at the intersection about ten meters away from Chen's house.

She looked around and realized that Chen's house was very close to the beach, only about ten minutes' walk away.

"Are you...Mi girl?" Just when Tian Mi was happy about having another chance to make money, a gentle female voice sounded in her ears.

Tian Mi came back to her senses and found that a familiar-looking aunt was standing next to her. She smiled and called out uncertainly, "Is it Aunt Cuilan?"

"Come and sit down. You have walked a long way, right? Take a break. The children are all working in the factory, the younger ones are in school, and your uncle is out delivering coal. I am the only one at home. You should treat this as your own home. It's rare for you to come here, so spend more time with me, an old lady. Don't be restrained." Aunt Cuilan was thin and not tall. She had silver hair on her temples. But at this moment, she was smiling and chattering, and even the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes seemed to be filled with kindness.

Because of the other party's attitude, Tian Mi couldn't help but also smiled sweetly with gratitude: "I'm sorry for causing trouble to you, auntie."

"Hey, why bother? We're all relatives. I'm so happy that you're here." He said, ignoring Tian Mi's obstruction, and insisted on making a cup of malted milk and bringing it over.

Tian Mi is really sorry. Malted milk is definitely a good thing in this era and should be given to children at home.

But since her aunt had already made the tea, she couldn't pretend to refuse, so she thanked her, took a few sips from the teacup, and pushed a few packets of snacks in front of her: "Aunt, these are the snacks I brought for the children."

"Why waste that money? We have everything we need at home. Don't do this next time." Aunt Cuilan looked at the large bags of food on the table and knew that these things were not cheap.

I wanted to say something, but when I saw the girl's delicate and pretty face, I couldn't help laughing.

I don’t know what this girl looks like, but she makes me feel soft-hearted just by looking at her.

If she had some politeness in the beginning out of taking care of her relatives, now she was truly happy.

She didn't ask why the little girl came to live in their house. Her son told her not to ask, so she didn't ask. She always said that when she encountered difficulties, she would help her relatives if she could, especially such a pretty and sensible little girl.

The two chatted for a while about Tian Yu, whom they both knew, and then Tian Mi said that he had to go out for something and would come back in the evening.

Aunt Cuilan didn't ask her what she was going to do, but only asked: "Have you had lunch? Is the place far? Do you want to ride a bicycle?"

Tian Mi came here after having lunch: "I've already eaten. The place is not far, so we can just walk."

"Okay then, come back early in the evening. It gets dark early now."

"Okay, I understand."

“.”

Fortunately, it was a nice day today, which greatly facilitated Tian Mi's plan to make money.

Because she had made two transactions before, she borrowed a fishing net from Aunt Wang Li before going out to sea this time.

This was Tian Mi's third time going to the sea, and he was already familiar with the route. With the help of handy props, he had a fruitful harvest today.

Her goal was very clear, either to catch big yellow croaker or sea crab, the bigger the better.

Of course, in order not to appear too exaggerated and arouse suspicion, she also took back the miscellaneous fish that were caught in the fishing net and sold them.

No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. Making money is not easy at all.

When Tian Mi came up with the last net of fish, it was already past 4 o'clock.

"This is today's money. Will you come back tomorrow?" After calculating the price, Uncle Sangen took out the money from the cabin and handed it to the little girl, asking with a simple smile.

In the past two days, thanks to this girl, the couple earned an extra thirty yuan, which is almost as much as their income in the past ten days.

I don’t know where this girl got such a great skill. The fish she catches from the internet are better and better each time. In the words of his wife, some people are born to do this job and you can’t envy them.

Tian Mi counted the 52.4 yuan she earned today, feeling very happy. She had spent about four hours in the sea.

Now, after deducting the money she had spent, she already had 120 yuan on her. She still had to work hard, so she nodded and smiled, "I'll come tomorrow, if it doesn't rain."

"There will be no rain tomorrow." After decades of fishing, Wang Li can already judge the weather of the next day based on her experience.

After she sorted the fish, she pointed at the big crabs at the girl's feet and said, "Aren't you selling those?"

Tian Mi shook his head, bent down and picked up all the crabs into the snakeskin bag: "Take them back for my family to taste." You can't just eat and drink other people's food for free.

"I should try it. This period is the season when sea crabs are the fattest. Even if they are steamed, they are so delicious that your tongue will turn red." Thinking of the taste, Wang Li, who is already old, couldn't help swallowing her saliva. She decided to steam a pot when she got home in the evening. Of course, she would sell the largest ones to make money.

It is indeed as Aunt Wang Li said.

That evening, when Aunt Cuilan brought a large plate of steamed crabs to the table, everyone was eating so much that they could hardly lift their heads.

The Chen family has four rooms. Aunt Cuilan arranged a separate room for Tian Mi. When Tian Mi made the bed, took off her coat and went to bed.

Aunt Cuilan came over with some photos: "I almost forgot. Gangzi asked me to show you the photos he sent back two years ago."

Hearing this, Tian Mi subconsciously tightened her hand that was resting on the door frame, took the photo with her other hand, and smiled calmly, "Thank you, auntie. Can I give you the photo tomorrow?"

"Okay, of course. Is the quilt too thin? How about a military coat?"

"It's not cold, the quilt is very warm."

"That's good. If you need anything, tell me. Go to bed early."

"Okay, I'll go to bed right away."

“.”

A kerosene lamp was lit in the room. Tian Mi returned to the bed holding the photos. She leaned against the bedpost with her body slightly tilted. In the dim light, she flipped through the photos in her hand.

In fact, it was easy to recognize. When Tian Mi saw the third photo of a man standing in the back row, who stood out from the crowd in terms of both height and appearance, she was inexplicably certain that this man was the old man that the elder sister mentioned.

The fact is indeed as she guessed, on the back of it, there are three words written in a flying dragon and phoenix style:

Lou Lu Hui.

The man was very tall. Even though he was standing in the back row, with most of his body blocked by the people in front of him, one could still tell that he had a tall figure and a straight back.

Coupled with that handsome face, he really is a living male Bodhisattva.

Tian Mi curled her lips and gave a sly smile. She was not wrong.

Thinking of the time when she hastily hung up the phone after he said something rude on the phone, she put the photo under her pillow with a smile on her face, blew out the light, and lay straight on the bed.

In the darkness, Tian Mi was not sleepy at all
