Husband Across a Thousand Miles in the Seventies [Transmigration]

Chapter 27

Views:

The relationship between Regiment Commander Lou and the Third Regiment Political Commissar's sister-in-law Tian Mi has become a hot topic among the troops and the family quarters recently.

But when Tuan Lou led the young soldiers to clean the place and busily moved beds, cabinets and other furniture from the logistics department, everyone realized that they were getting married.

Logically speaking, two people cannot apply for a house before they get their marriage certificate.

But regulations are regulations, and human relations are human relations.

The army had finally gotten rid of another bachelor, and Captain Wang was eager to set off firecrackers to celebrate.

So when Lou Luhui applied to tidy up the house in advance, he agreed immediately.

As for the wedding, most people are in a blessing mood, and even some soldiers will come to help when they have time.

Of course, there are also those who have doubts in their hearts.

Just like the Qian brothers and sisters.

When Qian Sheng got home from get off work that day, he saw the cold and deserted house, and he immediately became furious.

He's been having troubles at work lately, and his wife at home is ignorant and causing more trouble. He simply can't stand it.

Qian Sheng had a gloomy face. He threw his coat on the sofa and strode towards the bedroom in anger.

Then with a "bang", he pushed open the bedroom door.

There was no light in the room, but the dim environment could not hide the large bruise on my wife's cheekbone.

Especially when he met Ge Yun's dead eyes, Qian Sheng's anger deflated instantly like a punctured balloon.

"Comrade Xiaoyun, are you hungry? I'll ask my little sister to cook."

The man's slightly flattering tone did not ease Ge Yun's expression at all. She just held the child, her eyes slightly dull, and she retreated into her shell.

Qian Sheng showed impatience when he didn't get a response. He wanted to scold him a few more times, but in the end, he was still concerned about the threat from his father-in-law. He suppressed his anger, coaxed him a few more times in a gentle voice, then sighed, closed the door and walked out.

After exiting, he immediately went to the next room with a displeased look on his face.

Seeing his sister lying on the bed like an old man, Qian Sheng frowned: "Qian Jingjing, go cook!"

In front of her elder brother, Qian Jingjing still had to be polite. She smiled and said, "Brother, you know I'm not good at cooking and I haven't recovered from my cold yet. Let my sister-in-law do it."

She even dared to mention her sister-in-law to him. If it weren't for that damn girl's exaggeration and instigation, would he have accidentally punched his wife

He urged impatiently: "Hurry up, either go cook or get out of here!"

Qian Jingjing rolled her eyes, got off the bed and put on her shoes: "Brother, give me some money, Xunyan asked me to go to the town to play."

When Qian Sheng mentioned money, his face turned even darker. However, when he realized the word Xunyan, he asked in surprise, "Are you talking about Wang Xunyan, the daughter of Brigade Commander Wang?"

"Besides her, who else could be called Xun Yan?"

"How do you know her? How could she pay attention to you?" The daughter of the brigade commander is the youngest child in the family. She is only 17 years old this year and has just graduated from high school. I heard that she will either be sent to the army or to study at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University next year. The girl doesn't look easy to approach.

To put it bluntly, if we count a few decades ago, this woman would have been the eldest daughter, so it is normal for her to be aloof.

Qian Sheng never thought that his sister would be able to get in touch with someone and that their relationship was so close that they could go shopping together

Qian Jingjing's tone was filled with envy and ridicule: "He looks arrogant, but he is actually just a fool who was spoiled by his family. He can be coaxed into submission with a few nice words."

Hearing this, Qian Sheng still didn't believe it: "How did you coax her?"

"What's so difficult about this? I know she has someone she likes, so doesn't that give us something to talk about?" Qian Jingjing pouted. She was so embarrassed before because of that damn old woman who held her back.

As for Lou Luhui, she had already given up when he didn't give her face.

Qian Jingjing was busy these two days and soon found her next target, the daughter-in-law of the brigade commander, what a good identity.

Seeing his sister's confident words, Qian Sheng still didn't quite believe it. Wang Xunyan was well-known in the family compound for her temper: "You have only known each other for a few days? Can she tell you if she has someone she likes?"

Qian Jingjing was a little annoyed by her brother's questions, but she still explained patiently: "What's so difficult about this? People? It's the same for all. I just need to sigh a few times in front of Wang Xunyan, and when she asks me out of curiosity, I will play a pitiful role and make up a story, such as the person I like, but my family doesn't agree. When she sees me telling her such private things, she will treat me as a friend. The simple-minded ones will even tell me their own tragic stories to try to comfort me. In this way, what can't I get out of her?"

This really enlightened Qian Sheng. He had always known that his sister was smart, but he had never thought that she was so thoughtful. He asked again, "Then how did you know that she had someone she liked?"

Qian Jingjing was very proud: "Who knows? I was just testing her. It's normal for a 17-year-old girl to have someone she likes. Even if she doesn't have someone she likes, it doesn't matter. Anyway, I took the initiative to share the secret and let her feel that I am honest and miserable enough, isn't that enough?"

I have to say, after listening to his sister's words, Qian Sheng really had a new perspective on his own sister.

He did not rush to speak, but instead looked carefully at the graceful and beautiful young sister standing opposite him.

Although Jingjing is not as pretty as Mrs. Tian's sister, she is prettier than most girls. She graduated from junior high school, knows how to dress up and coax people, and most importantly, she is smart. If you think about it carefully, it is not impossible for her to marry the son of Brigade Commander Wang.

After all, their family has been poor peasants for eight generations. They are both red and professional. In terms of ideological awareness, their level is even higher than that of Wang Lu's family.

Everyone knows that Brigade Commander Wang’s wife, Sister Mei, used to be a university teacher. Even if she had never been abroad, she had the background of a stinking ninth grader, and she could not be compared with these farmers with a good family background.

Maybe, a family like theirs needs to marry a rural girl to balance the family.

The more I think about it, the more it seems possible, and the more I regret it.

Qian Sheng felt that he was too obsessed before. Why did he have to stare at Lou Luhui in front of him? Isn't Wang Linkun, the son of Brigade Commander Wang, also a good person

I heard that he is only 22 years old this year, but he has already become a company commander in the southern army.

At this age, he absolutely doesn't believe that he can succeed without the help of his family.

Moreover, he had also met Wang Linkun, the son of Brigade Commander Wang. Compared with Lou Luhui's cold and ruthless character, he was a very gentle and polite young man.

It's natural for young men to not have sexual thoughts, especially when girls take the initiative to show their affection to them.

If my sister could get Wang Linkun's contact information through Wang Xunyan, then everything would be much easier.

Anyway, my sister’s reputation on the island is not very good. Instead of fighting here and trying to restore her reputation, it is better to find another way and become the brigade commander’s daughter-in-law.

Although his family background is still not as strong as Lou Luhui's, it's still acceptable.

After sorting out the benefits, Qian Sheng generously went back to the house and took out the money and gave it to his sister. His tone returned to its usual gentleness: "Here are fifty yuan and some cloth coupons. Make some nice clothes, dress up nicely, and take a few photos."

As for what the photos are used for, it goes without saying.

Qian Jingjing was not polite either. She took the money and said in a fake tone, "Brother, give me all these cloth coupons. Will sister-in-law be angry?"

"Why are you angry? She's ugly and fat, and the clothes she makes don't look good." Although he said this, Qian Sheng lowered his voice because he was worried that his wife in the next bedroom would hear it.

"Oh, okay then."

In the living room, Ge Yun, who had come out with his child to get hot water, froze when he heard this. After a few seconds of silence, he said nothing and went to the kitchen quietly.

Only a few drops of water were left where he had just stood.

"What are you looking at?" Qian Sheng saw his sister looking towards the living room, so he turned around but saw nothing.

Qian Jingjing suppressed the malice in her eyes and said with a bright smile: "Nothing, thank you brother."

"Silly girl, I'm your brother, why are you being polite to me?"

“.”

When taking the purchasing vehicle to town, you have to greet the quartermaster in advance.

At that time, the small Jiefang truck had a row of seats in the back of the cab, in addition to the driver and co-pilot seats, which could accommodate 4 people if they squeezed together.

It is definitely overloaded, but this is not taken seriously in this era.

Therefore, the quartermaster stipulated that it was okay to bring family members to the town to shop, but no more than four people at a time.

Unless you want to sit in the open bed at the back.

It’s okay in summer, but forget it in winter.

Even if Tian Yu and Tian Mi were willing, the two men would not agree.

Therefore, due to the shortage of seats, by the time it was the sisters' turn, it was already several days later.

There are two shifts of logistics procurement vehicles every day, one in the morning and one at noon. The morning military truck will depart on time at 5 o'clock.

It was just daybreak, and before the wake-up call, Tian Yu had already gotten up.

I walked out of the bedroom on my own, only to find that my sister had gotten up earlier than me.

She turned around and closed the door, then asked quietly, "When did you wake up?"

Tian Mi pointed to the washroom and lowered her voice: "Just came out, ready to brush my teeth."

"Oh, let's do it together."

After entering the small washroom of several square meters, Tian Yu sighed: "It's good to go today. There happens to be a market in the town, and I can buy things from my fellow villagers."

Tian Mi was squeezing toothpaste onto her toothbrush, and she squeezed some onto her sister's toothbrush as well before asking, "Isn't the market held on fixed days like the first and fifteenth of the lunar month?"

"Hey, girl, squeeze less. This stuff is hard to buy and very expensive." Looking at the half of toothpaste on the toothbrush head, Tian Yu kept complaining in pain. She was disgusted with her sister for wasting it, but it was not convenient for her to put it back into the toothpaste box. She could only helplessly brush her teeth with the most toothpaste in her life.

Tian Mi thought that she had brought more than a dozen boxes from Shanghai, which would be enough for a while. Besides, although it was rare here, it was not completely unavailable, so she could just stock up slowly.

Of course, she just thought about these complaints in her mind. After all, it’s not wrong that this generation advocates frugality.

So she brushed her teeth while nodding and whining, indicating that she would use less next time. She was so well-behaved.

After washing up and going to the kitchen for breakfast, Tian Mi realized that because there was often heavy snow here, the market time would not be set very accurately. Most of the time, the team cadres would receive the news and notify them on short notice.

By this calculation, it is indeed lucky to be able to catch the market.

After breakfast, Tian Yu returned to the bedroom and tidied up his little girl.

Chen Gang was awake now. He propped himself up with his arms and half sat up. "How about I take the child to class?"

Tian Yu reached out and pushed her husband back into bed, tucked him in, and said, "No need for you, just sleep a little longer. I told Xiaoyun a few days ago that she would help me look after him for half a day."

After saying this, she didn't give her husband any chance to refute and quickly carried her daughter out the door.

"I'm sorry, sister-in-law. Look at what this has caused. Comrade Xiaoyun has caught a serious cold. It's really inconvenient. How about this, can I ask Jingjing to help take care of the child?" Qian Sheng stood at the door wearing a military coat, looking apologetic.

Tian Yu looked anxious, and couldn't help but move forward a few steps: "When did you catch a cold? Why didn't I hear about it? How about I go in and take a look?"

"This..." Qian Sheng was a little embarrassed: "We haven't gotten up yet, how about sister-in-law go to the market first, and then come over to chat with Xiaoyun after the market?"

After hearing what they said, no matter how anxious Tian Yu was, he felt embarrassed to insist on going in.

Of course, the child naturally could not be handed over to Qian Jingjing. No matter what, her own Fatty didn't know her, and she was too embarrassed to let an unfamiliar girl help her take care of the child. Why should she do that

So Tian Yu thanked him politely and went to the brigade commander's house again, handed the child to Sister Mei, and asked her to help take care of the child for half a day.

He was annoyed that he was so happy about his sister's arrival: "No wonder I haven't seen her for several days. It turns out she has caught a cold. Sigh. It's so cold and hard. She hasn't been weaned yet, so she can only endure it. Qian Sheng is a guy with a tongue that can run wild. I don't know if what he said is true."

Tian Mi did not have a deep impression of Ge Yun, who was good friends with her sister. Most of her knowledge of her came from what she heard from her sister.

Since she came to the army, it seems that we only met once or twice when she first arrived.

I vaguely remember that she was a woman with a very gentle temperament.

Tian Mi also respected her elder sister's friends, so she tried to think of a solution: "Aren't we going to town today? Let's see if there are any frozen pears for sale, and find some old rock sugar. Sister, you can stew a bowl of it for her every day. It will moisten her lungs and help a little."

Tian Yu clapped his hands and said, "Yes, yes. But you don't need to buy frozen pears. We still have a lot at home. Just go and weigh some old rock sugar."

Tian Mi was suspicious: "Why can't I find it?"

Tian Yu chuckled twice: "I was just guarding against you and your three kids at home. If I didn't hide, would you have taken all of them in one day? You eat without counting, and you're not afraid of diarrhea."

Hearing this, Tian Mi's face turned red. Can she be blamed for this? If she had to blame someone, she should blame the lack of food in this era. She had no interest in candy and biscuits, and she had nothing to do to kill time. When people have free time, don't they just look for something to eat

Especially the frozen pears are so delicious.

Anyway, it’s really not her fault!

Blame the pear!

It takes about an hour and a half to drive from the army to the town without the hindrance of wind and snow.

The weather was nice today and the journey was smooth. The two sisters arrived in town at seven in the morning.

After agreeing on a time to return with the young soldier who was driving, the two of them went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Tian Mi had no idea about this place, so she carried the backpack and ran obediently behind her sister.

Because I am going back to the city with Lou Lu on Saturday to buy wedding supplies, the supplies in the city are more complete.

So, this time, in addition to some basic seasonings, Tian Yu’s main target is cookies, candies and the like.

Oh, there are also gifts for Laidi, Pandi and Xiangyang.

Seeing the elder sister desperately trying to buy, Tian Mi felt overwhelmed. Although she didn't need a ticket, she bought too much.

Especially since this kind of hard candy is mixed with saccharin, eating too much is not good for the body, so she advised: "Sister, buy less, and come back next time when you finish eating."

Tian Yu didn't take it seriously: "It's okay, you can finish it, then you can take half."

Tian Mi is really not greedy! Really!

Of course, she didn't know at the moment that she would be slapped in the face soon.

I didn’t buy much at the supply and marketing cooperative, but it was such a small place and it was packed with people.

By the time the two men struggled out of the dense crowd, more than an hour had passed.

"Let's go, let's go, let's go to the market." Women who are skilled in shopping are scary.

Tian Mi's head hurt from all the shouting of prices and inquiries about goods in the supply and marketing cooperative, but Tian Yu could just go out and drag his sister to the next place in a hurry.

In Chaoyang Village, Tian Mi once personally experienced the big market.

Compared to the diverse markets in my hometown, this place is much more deserted.

In addition to the most common potatoes, radishes, cabbage, and peanuts, the most abundant are chestnuts and frozen pears, as well as frozen persimmons that Tian Mi had never seen before.

The two sisters brought enough money and were more willing to spend than the other, so they bought a lot.

In the end, because there were too many things, I spent thirty cents to ask someone to use a wheelbarrow to deliver them to the waiting place.

During this period, Tian Mi's expression was always happy.

The source of her joy came from a small wooden bucket of iced milk in her arms.

Yes, when Tian Mi saw this thing at the market, he couldn't move.

In fact, when she saw someone using tickets to buy milk powder at the supply and marketing cooperative, she was tempted, but unfortunately she didn’t have the milk powder tickets.

God knows she is a dairy lover and likes all dairy products.

I was under so much pressure in Chaoyang Village before that I didn’t think about these things at all. But after coming here, my little Guoguo would drink a cup every day, but she didn’t have the face to compete with a 2-year-old kid for food.

Life is so sad.

So, when she saw the milk, she didn't want to miss it no matter what. In the end, she simply bought the milk and the barrel together, and held it in her arms like a treasure all the way.

I'm even thinking about all kinds of delicious food in my mind.

Hmm. Lou Luhui seems to have the habit of drinking tea, so caramel milk tea is fine.

You can also try ginger milk, but the temperature is difficult to control, so you may need to try a few more times.

There are also small pieces of milk and small steamed buns

Wow~ so many delicious foods.

How about ordering more from Uncle Zasak next time you come to town

Anyway, in this kind of weather, the snacks can be kept for a long time.

Woohoo, I suddenly felt so touched. Life became happy again. It’s not easy at all.

Tian Yu kept his eyes on his sister's face, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he saw her quickly changing expressions.

Just like a child, he refuses to admit that he is greedy.

I had a great harvest today and bought the materials I liked.

So on the way back, Tian Mi was in high spirits.

When they arrived at the military logistics department, the two got out of the car, but did not see any familiar figures. Tian Yu wondered: "Old Chen and his brother-in-law should be off work, why didn't they come to pick us up?"

Tian Mi was also worried, looking at the pile of things unloaded from the truck bed: "What should I do with these?"

Tian Yu waved his hand: "It's okay, tell the people in the kitchen, we'll go back first, and let Lao Chen and my brother-in-law come and move it later."

That was fine, so Tian Mi just picked up the milk bucket.

"Why are you holding this thing? Put it here, they can pull it back with a flatbed truck." Tian Yu had no idea what to do with this greedy sister.

"That won't work. What if it gets dirty? Besides, if Lou Lu doesn't have time until the evening, won't I be able to make delicious food in the afternoon?"

Tian Yu: "Puchi. Forget it, just hold me, little ancestor!"

After getting consent, Tian Mi immediately smiled again.

The 836th Unit is on an island.

When I returned to the family area from the back door of the kitchen, the sea was just a few hundred meters away.

The two sisters walked lightly and chatted as they walked.

Just as the two were discussing what to make best with milk, a sharp and mournful howl was heard.

Tian Mi and Tian Yu were startled and subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.

Unfortunately, the distance was a bit far and I couldn’t see clearly, and the sound was too noisy and I couldn’t catch the main point.

But it is a shallow sea area and soldiers have been taking turns fishing there recently.

"Could something have happened?" Tian Yu said in a panicked tone. Every year he heard of incidents of people being swallowed by ice holes.

Tian Mi pursed her lips and said, "Sister, let's go take a look."

"Yes, let's go check it out!"

With that, the two sisters ran towards where the crowd was gathering.

After running half the distance, they finally pieced together the key points from the fragments they heard.

A child fell into an ice hole.

The voice that made the shrill cry must be the child's mother.

Tian Mi quickened his pace, but his brows were tightly furrowed. He didn't understand why someone would bring a child here when the army clearly prohibited family members from coming here.

However, before she could think about it, the words she heard again made her stagger.

Immediately afterwards, there was a loud "bang!"

The wooden barrel, which was teased as a treasure by the elder sister, fell to the ground without any warning.

Not only did the wooden barrel break into pieces, but the frozen milk inside also shattered into pieces, and more than half of it even splashed onto his body.

Tian Mi had no intention of caring. Her eyes were red and she grabbed her elder sister's hand in panic: "What did they say just now? Did Lou Luhui jump down to save people?"

"No, I can't." Tian Yu also heard it, but she was also very panicked and didn't dare to believe it. Could she get into the ice hole? Wouldn't that be a way to get herself into it

Facing my sister's helpless and frightened expression, suddenly, a plot from the original book emerged in my mind without warning.

In the book, when the original body was about 40 years old, the eldest sister Tian Yu returned to her hometown. Seeing her younger sister who was 12 years younger than her but older than her, she cried and lamented her younger sister's unhappy marriage.

She also said that she had wanted to introduce a guy to her younger sister, but her second sister got married just after she made the start. Later, the young and promising officer died at the bottom of the sea not long after saving someone, and even his body was never found. If her second sister really married him, she would also be heartbroken by the loss of her husband.

This once blurred memory suddenly reappeared and was deeply imprinted in Tian Mi's mind like a knife engraving.

The message came too quickly, making her brain buzz and she couldn't react.

how can that be possible

How could it be that the man who looked a little fierce and cool, but was actually a decent, honest, and somewhat lovable man

How could this happen to the man who looks resolute and resolute on the outside but actually has sweaty palms when he holds my hand

How could the man who was kissed by me and was so embarrassed that even the darkness couldn't hide the redness on his cheeks die

She doesn't believe it!

She! Doesn’t! Believe!

"Zhou Peng, fuck you, the rescue rope tied to Lou Tuan was broken, didn't you notice it?"

The sudden shout interrupted Tian Mi's chaotic thoughts, and his rationality returned instantly.

She suddenly quickened her pace, taking off her clothes and rushing forward.

"Mi girl, what are you doing? Don't scare me, don't be impulsive!" Tian Yu saw her sister rushing towards the ice hole like crazy, throwing clothes along the way, and she was so anxious that tears fell. She gritted her teeth and chased after her.

But her sister was running too fast, and she couldn't catch up no matter how hard she tried.

Tian Mi heard her elder sister's cry, but time waits for no one. She did not dare to answer her sister for fear of delaying the rescue by one more second.

She was not reckless. She was extremely calm at this moment and knew clearly that she could save him.

She didn't know whether she cried or not. She only knew that she didn't want him to die. Even though they didn't have such deep feelings for each other, he was the person who made her extremely happy whenever she saw him.

so.

faster!

Faster!

Tian Mi ran all the way, gasping for breath, and the cool air that poured into her lungs choked her and caused pain in her heart.

But none of this matters. What matters is that she can save him!

Gradually, Tian Mi couldn't tell whether she was awake or confused. She could no longer hear anyone calling her, nor could she see Zhou Jianshe pulling a staggering woman towards her not far away.

With only the thought of saving people on her mind, she didn't know where she got the tremendous strength from, but she broke free from everyone's obstruction and dived into the water with a "splash".
