"Brother, brother?" Lou Yanan opened his eyes wide and looked at his sister-in-law who had a normal expression on her face, and couldn't help but stutter.
"Yeah, it's not necessary for the man to be older than the woman when looking for a partner. As long as they are suitable, age shouldn't be an obstacle." Tian Mi was worried that if she said it according to the popular saying of later generations, it would scare her elder sister-in-law, so she restrained her words.
Hearing this, Lou Yanan was silent for a few seconds. Just when he was about to say that it was not that he could not accept the situation of an older man than a younger woman, but that he did not think about it that way, his eyes swept across the door that was slightly opened.
Thinking of what she had just said, she looked at the time on her watch again. After guessing a possibility, she suddenly looked at her sister-in-law who was standing with her back to the door and knew nothing about it.
Seeing that she was looking at him, he raised his hand and pointed at the door, then said "Hui Hui" silently.
Tian Mi blinked again and again, and suddenly felt his scalp tingling.
At this moment, Lou Yanan spoke again as if nothing had happened: "Does Tiantian like her brother too?" As he spoke, he glanced towards the gate.
Tian Mi understood immediately. She rolled her eyes and started to speak sweetly: "Me? Actually, it doesn't matter if he's a younger brother or a older brother, as long as he's a Hui."
Hearing this, Lou Yanan gave his sister-in-law a stunned look.
It was obvious that the simple-minded Dr. Lou had never seen anyone who was so fluent in speaking sweet words.
She was even sure that if the person outside was really her brother, he would be so coaxed that he would be smiling from ear to ear.
This is indeed the fact, the man whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot a moment ago, now looks very proud.
He didn't even notice the discomfort on his good brother's face. He just stood there, happy to himself for another half a minute before going into the house pretending he had just returned.
Hearing the noise, Tian Mi turned back at the right time, then stood up to greet him, and asked with a natural sweet smile: "You're back?"
Lou Luhui said "hmm" softly, then asked gently, "Did the children bother you this morning?"
In the past few days, her husband would ask the same question every day when he came home, but Tian Mi didn't find it annoying. She smiled and replied, "It's fine. He didn't cry much. My eldest sister said that our child came to repay his gratitude, and I think so too."
As they were talking, the couple went to the bathroom together. After Lou Lu came back and did a simple cleanup, they went to the bedroom to see the child.
Although there were no intimate actions, when they walked together and talked about family matters in soft voices, there was a kind of sweetness that made people envy.
Lou Yannan watched the young couple leave with amusement, then looked at the man beside him: "Why didn't you come to eat yesterday?"
Zhou Jianshe was unusually uncomfortable, and the familiar smile on his face was gone: "I didn't come over when my comrades called me."
Actually, it’s not like that. I know my own thoughts very well. And because I know them so clearly, I feel I should keep my distance.
The reason why I came here again today is because Lao Lou specifically called me. If I don’t insist on coming, people will become suspicious.
He just didn't expect to hear those words at the door, so, was Sister Nan talking about herself? Was she unhappy
Thinking of this, Zhou Jianshe's thick brows frowned unconsciously.
Noticing that Jianshe was distracted and had a fierce look on his face, Lou Yannan raised his hand and patted him: "What are you thinking about? Go wash your hands. It's almost time for dinner."
Hearing this, Zhou Jianshe came back to his senses and subconsciously put on a familiar smile on his face: "Hey! I'll go right away."
Tian Mi had been thinking about Liu Xiujiu, so when the meal was served, she asked curiously.
While Aunt Gu wasn't paying attention, Lou Luhui gave his wife another spoonful of braised pork: "Liu Xiuju will probably go to labor camp later."
"Ah? For what? What did she do?" Tian Mi quickly swallowed the food in her mouth, her eyes widened in shock.
But on second thought, Liu Xiujiu is an extremely selfish person, otherwise she wouldn't have been so self-righteous as to scheme against Captain Zhu's marriage.
When this was mentioned, Lou Luhui was speechless for a moment: "I heard that she was having an affair."
Lou Luhui didn't want to ask Zhu Jingbing himself for the details, but because his wife was bored at home and would definitely be curious about this matter, he listened carefully when his comrades were discussing it.
How could he explain Liu Xiuju's case? In his opinion, it was all her own fault.
I don’t know if it’s because he was laughed at by his family for being kicked out of the army, or because he never got the upper hand with Captain Zhu.
Or maybe she wanted to show that she was still attractive. Anyway, not long after she returned to her hometown last winter, she secretly had an affair with a worker in the town.
Liu Xiujiu's ex-husband was a loader in a factory. He died in the line of duty, so the factory gave her a pension of several hundred yuan.
In addition, when her husband died, she made a big fuss in order to get more money, so the factory leaders did not transfer her to another position.
The meaning was very clear. If Liu Xiujiu wanted to take over her deceased husband's job, she could only do the loading and unloading work honestly.
No normal woman could handle this kind of work, let alone Liu Xiujiu, who has never been one to endure hardship.
In the end, she had no choice but to sell her job. After adding all the money she had, plus the savings of her family over the past decade, Liu Xiujiu had about two thousand yuan left.
Nowadays, it is considered a huge sum of money, which is why she was able to use the money to attack Captain Zhu's parents at that time.
Of course, it was precisely because of these savings that she lived a good life.
There are no secrets between neighbors. Not to mention eating good food every other day, even if you eat meat once a month, the neighbors can smell it.
Therefore, no matter how hard Liu Xiujiu tried to hide it, it would be of no use.
Once your reputation as a rich man spreads, it's normal to attract the attention of those with ulterior motives.
The worker was about the same age as Captain Zhu and not bad looking. His wife had died and they had no children, so he immediately used his beauty to woo him.
Liu Xiujiu was coaxed for several months, and she was determined to divorce Zhu Jingbing, who was unromantic and might not be able to do it, and remarry a good man. Before she knew it, all her belongings were taken away.
Once the person is sure again and again that he can't get money from them, he will just turn against them and refuse to acknowledge them.
Nowadays, if someone is having an affair, it's fine if everyone keeps it to themselves, but if you really make it public, you will definitely be caught.
Liu Xiujiu is not stupid, so how could she dare to make a big fuss
He just went to find someone privately, but after being severely beaten several times, he never dared to do it again.
Now that he has joined the army, he is probably hoping for a lucky break, thinking that more than half a year has passed since the ice hole incident, and maybe he can return to his military life again.
But what Liu Xiujiu didn't know was that Zhu Jingbing had asked someone to keep an eye on her during the days she had been back, so he knew everything about her messed up things.
After hearing all the twists and turns, Tian Mi didn't know whether she had seen too many such things in later generations or what, but she subconsciously asked, "Did Captain Zhu get involved in this?"
Hearing this, Lou Luhui said meaningfully: "This is not important."
Tian Mi understood. She picked up the bowl and took another sip of the fish soup. She thought to herself, even if Captain Zhu really had instigated this matter, she could understand it.
Anyone whose marriage is schemed against in this disgusting way must retaliate.
It must be said that she was really happy about the fact that Liu Xiujiu was going to labor camp.
I was so happy that even the tasteless soup in my mouth didn't seem hard to swallow.
Zhu Jingbing did not deliberately conceal the matter of Liu Xiujiu, and even intended to spread it.
Therefore, not only the military families in the family quarters were discussing the issue, but even the soldiers at the harvesting site were also talking about it.
There's no way. These days there's really not much gossip to be had. Now that there's finally one, and it's about a couple, and the parties involved aren't shy about it, so they're discussing it heatedly.
If it weren't for the wrong theme, it was so lively that someone who didn't know would have thought it was a swearing-in ceremony.
Lou Lu returned to the site after lunch break and had ten minutes left before work.
Everyone was not particular and just squatted or sat together, discussing enthusiastically.
Most married men lament that having a fierce wife at home is pretty good, and it would be unlucky for them to marry someone like Liu Xiujiu.
Unmarried men are even more afraid of meeting a woman like Liu Xiujiu in the future. As men, how many can stand being cuckolded? They lament that it is hard to marry a good wife.
Lou Luhui did not participate in it from beginning to end, he just listened silently. Anyway, his Tiantian was the best no matter what.
And because of what my wife said before, it doesn't matter if it's an older brother or a younger brother, as long as it's him, my good mood has remained until now.
Seeing that he remained silent, everyone's attention gradually shifted to the strange looking him.
The head of the Third Regiment, Tang Dahai, asked directly, "Old Lou, what good thing happened to you? You look so proud."
Hearing this, Lou Luhui was silent for a while, then turned his neck a few times with a normal look on his face: "It's nothing, maybe it's because my Tiantian gave me a massage when I went home for lunch at noon. My shoulders and neck feel much better, and I feel more energetic."
People
Tang Dahai didn't realize for a moment that this was a man showing off. He laughed and patted his shoulder: "Of course, it must be comfortable to pinch it. I'll ask my wife to pinch me a few times in the evening. I've been exhausted these past few days."
Lou Lu agreed with his face, and chatted with others for a few words before saying inconspicuously, "My Tiantian makes milk powder for me every morning and evening, saying that she is worried that I will be tired. Even if I don't drink it, she still forces me to drink it."
As soon as these words came out, all the men looked at him with strange eyes.
Those who were quick-witted had already realized what was going on and were successfully fooled. After all, who wouldn't envy the beautiful wife that Lou Tuan brought home
Even without mentioning her mesmerizingly beautiful appearance, the fact that she risked her life by jumping into the ice hole for Tuan Lou was enough to make all the men in the army envious.
Now that they found out that she was so considerate of her husband in the details of life, everyone was so jealous that their eyes turned red. They all frowned and didn't want to pay any attention to him anymore.
However, the man seemed to be addicted to showing off. He ignored the angry looks of others and slowly took out a small piece of dessert from the oil paper bag in his pocket and put it into his mouth. Then, under the gaze of everyone, he asked in confusion: "My Tiantian was afraid that I would be hungry during the meal, so she packed this for me. Don't you have any?"
Shut up, everyone!
That night, Lou Lu came back early.
I got home around seven in the evening.
Everyone was still awake at this moment. Tian Mi and Sister Nan were each holding a little one, chatting and discussing their names.
As for the matter of giving the children a formal name, after her husband suggested naming them Aidang and Aimi, she directly gave the right of naming to her parents-in-law, since she and her husband did not have the ability to do so anyway.
Fortunately, there is no rush about this matter, and it doesn’t matter if you call me by my nickname.
Seeing the man coming back, they were both surprised and asked in unison: "So early today?"
Lou Luhui was dirty, he just glanced at the child from a distance and smiled, "Well, the harvest is over, and then we start to take turns to thresh the grain, and then dry it. It will still be busy until the end of the month, but it's not my turn today so I came back early."
"It's best to take a rest. The hot water is ready and the clothes are in the bathroom. Go take a shower first. You can finally get a few more hours of sleep today." Collecting grain is really tiring. Even with good food and drink every day, Hui Hui still slowly loses weight. People are all made of flesh and blood, and Tian Mi felt really distressed when she saw this.
After her husband left, Tian Mi turned around and found that Sister Nan had already put Pearl on the crib.
"I'm going back to my room first."
Knowing that her elder sister-in-law didn't want to disturb the couple, Tian Mi didn't try to keep her and just walked her to the door.
Then she put her son in her arms into the crib.
Children's skin is very delicate, and their small hands and feet make them look particularly cute. She wanted to pinch them, and as she did so, she became addicted.
Look, Tian Mi, who was so drunk, didn’t even know when her husband entered the room. By the time she came to her senses, she had been hugged from behind in a broad and warm embrace.
Tian Mi was caught off guard and was startled. Then he slapped him in anger and complained, "Why didn't you make any noise when you came in?"
Lou Lu felt very wronged, it was obviously her fault that she was too engrossed in the subject.
However, after being married for so many days, he has basically understood one thing, that is, when a woman is angry, no matter what the reason is, she should apologize first.
So the man bent down and kissed his wife's ear, then smiled and said, "My mistake. I will pay attention next time."
Sure enough, after her husband surrendered, Tian Mi could no longer hold on to him.
And she was also thinking about something at the moment. She turned around and pulled her husband to sit on the bed. She also took off her shoes and knelt behind him to help him relax his shoulders and neck: "You rarely have time today, go and talk to Sister Nan later."
Hearing this, Lou Luhui opened his eyes, frowned and asked, "What's wrong, elder sister?"
Tian Mi patted her husband and said, "Relax." His muscles were as tense as rocks.
After the man relaxed, she massaged him and said, "I think Sister Nan wants a divorce, but she didn't say she had any conflicts with her brother-in-law... um... with that man. I think if it's a misunderstanding, explain it. If the other party is really not a good person, divorce him as soon as possible. Do you still want to keep that kind of thing for the New Year?"
Isn't this delaying the process of finding the next one
Of course she didn't dare say that.
Speaking of his sister and brother-in-law, Lou Luhui frowned, "There seems to be problems between them, but my eldest sister keeps everything to herself. I asked her a few times before and she said it was okay. In fact, my position is the same as my parents. Even though I am my eldest sister's biological brother, I can't interfere in her marriage. After all, she knows best how she wants to live her life. Our ideas are not necessarily what my eldest sister wants, so if I ask her again this time, she probably won't tell me."
Tian Mi agreed with the idea of not interfering in other people’s feelings, but Sister Nan’s current situation was different.
It would be strange if no major problems occurred when a woman suddenly left her familiar environment and mentioned the topic of not getting married.
Tian Mi suddenly became curious: "What kind of person is that man, Nanjie's husband?"
Lou Luhui shook his head: "I don't know him very well. I only met him once when they decided to get married. After that, I was in the 836th Army. In total, I met him twice. We didn't say much each time. I just watched..."
At this point, the man hesitated about what words to use to describe it.
"What are you looking at?"
Lou Luhui was silent for a while before saying, "He looks quite fair and gentle. He looks like a scholar, very gentle."
I don’t know if it was because of the preconceived notion, but after listening to her husband’s description, Tian Mi subconsciously defined the man who made Sister Nan sad as a hypocrite.
Feeling that it was not a good idea to make such a definition before knowing the full picture, Tian Mi immediately shook his head again to get rid of the beast in human skin image that he had imagined in his mind.
After pressing on her husband for a few more minutes, she patted his shoulder and said, "Let's go and ask. What if Sister Nan is confused and needs other people's advice? This kind of thing depends on the situation. Anyway, even if Sister Nan doesn't want to say it, we won't lose anything, right?"
In the end, Lou Luhui listened to his wife's advice and went to his eldest sister's room. After all, he was also worried.
Lou Yannan opened the door and found that it was his younger brother who was knocking on the door. He asked in confusion, "Why are you here?"
Lou Luhui confessed honestly: "Tiantian is worried about you, so she asked me to come over and talk to you."
Tian Mi, who was eavesdropping quietly at the door, became expressionless when she heard what was said. She decided to just go back to bed and lie down.
Lou Yannan was stunned for a moment, then her heart warmed, and she subconsciously said, "Sister, it's okay. I can handle it myself."
If it were in the past, Lou Luhui might have had no choice but to go back.
But thinking of what his wife said before, he insisted: "If you can handle it well, you won't have to deal with it until now. I can feel that my parents' patience is almost exhausted. If you still can't handle it well this time, I believe Dad will definitely investigate the matter between you and Shen Ziru personally."
Hearing this, Lou Yanan was stunned for even longer this time.
After a while, she took a deep breath, looked at the time, and knew that her sister-in-law should not be asleep yet, so she said in a trembling voice, "I have something I want to ask Tiantian first."
Now it was Lou Luhui's turn to be stunned. He was puzzled: "Is there anything I can't listen to?"
Lou Yannan looked at his brother, and suddenly, as if all his strength had been drained away, he rubbed his brows weakly and said, "Then come over here, just in time to help me solve my doubts."
As she said that, she closed the bedroom door and went to the living room first.
Seeing this, Lou Luhui had no choice but to turn around and go to his bedroom, taking his wife with him.
Since she had decided to speak out, Lou Yannan did not hide anything and gave several examples of what she had experienced over the years.
She didn't cry from beginning to end. Now, instead of feeling sad, she was more confused: "Tiantian, as a woman, do you think I care too much?"
After asking this question, she unnaturally smoothed her long hair that fell to her cheeks and said quickly, "I know that in the eyes of most people, I am too harsh on relationships. He may just like to help others and learn from Lei Feng to help others. Many people are like this. I understand. So, am I being too unreasonable to want a divorce because of this?"
At the end, her tone was confused again.
Tian Mi's fists stiffened after hearing this. Isn't this the air-conditioning man
He doesn't even let the elder sister laugh. Is this the legendary PUA
God, helping others is just to exude charm, isn't it? She dared to guarantee it with the head of that cheap brother-in-law. If the environment did not allow it, a man like him would definitely have more cheating legs than an octopus's tentacles in the future.
No, no, the octopus is a good thing, how can you insult it by using the air-conditioning man
Although she knew that this kind of people would hide themselves and it would be impossible to tell after just one or two interactions, she still couldn't help but roll her eyes at her husband who was so angry that his face turned black, and said angrily: "What kind of look is that? Gentle? Gentle? You really ruin these good words."
Lou Lu Hui.
Tian Mi ignored her husband's doubts and looked at Sister Nan and asked, "Sister, let me ask you, is that man's family background worse than yours?"
Lou Yannan nodded. Although he didn't understand why Tiantian asked this, he still replied, "His name is Shen Ziru, and his parents both work in the government."
Lou Luhui interrupted: "Chief, I didn't ask specifically, how did you know?"
Tian Mi understood immediately. It was probably at the township level, which meant that in terms of social status, it was far behind the Lou family.
It’s not that she looks down on people of this level, but her family conditions are even worse.
She just looked down on the way that guy named Shen Ziru ate. Isn't this a typical Phoenix Man mentality
Seeing Sister Nan looking at her curiously, Tian Mi calmed down and asked her husband to make three cups of milk.
Then I spent more than half an hour giving a general introduction to central air conditioning, PUA, and the magical self-esteem of Phoenix Men.
She added, "I read all this in a banned book. I used to think that what the book said was miraculous. Now, don't they all make sense?"
After finishing the milk in the cup, Tian Mi put it on the table and made a final summary: "Sister, this kind of person is not eager to help others, he is just a playboy by nature. The men he occasionally helps are just pretending. And his brainwashing words, the ambiguous relationship in the past few years, are just to make you inseparable from him. Oh, yes, and those words that don't let you laugh, and are ostensibly for your own good but actually belittle you, you can tell there is something wrong as soon as you hear them. I don't know if he does it on purpose or if it is just his nature, but I can be sure that such a marriage is not only unacceptable to you, but also to normal women."
In fact, my husband is right. When it comes to important matters such as marriage, outsiders can only give some opinions, and it is better to let couples make the decisions themselves.
But this guy named Shen Ziru is probably a natural PUA master.
Since she had discovered it, and it was her elder sister-in-law who loved and cared for her, she couldn't go against her conscience and not speak up.
Especially since she has seen too many outstanding girls on the Internet, who eventually became withered due to long-term brainwashing, she needs to speak out words of persuasion.
Central air conditioning, Phoenix man, PUA, any one of them can cause great harm, and Sister Nan actually encountered all of them.
The most important thing is that after seven years of marriage, she had no idea about these three words, so she was not on guard and was not successfully brainwashed. It has to be said that Sister Nan is still very strong inside.
Although Lou Luhui could not accurately define Shen Ziru's type, he attended a military academy and received professional training in brainwashing and anti-brainwashing, so even if his wife did not make a specific analysis, he could see that something was wrong.
Thinking about how his elder sister had wasted seven years in such a marriage, he didn't know who to be angry with.
Finally, he made the decision with a dark face: "Divorce, you don't need to intervene in this matter, and don't hesitate any more. I will call Dad tomorrow and ask him to go there."
Lou Yannan's lips trembled. She didn't cry when she told her story, but suddenly her eyes were red. She choked and said in confusion: "Will it bring shame to my parents? Otherwise..."
Compared with other reasons, she was more worried about bringing shame to her parents.
After all, she has been the child of other families in the compound since she was young and has always been the pride of her parents.
Now they are getting divorced, which is already a scandal, and she really doesn't want to bring shame to her parents.
"Bang!" Lou Luhui slammed the table hard, interrupting his elder sister's words with a cold face. His phoenix eyes, similar to his sister's, were particularly cold: "No, don't you know our father's character? If he knew that you have been living like this for many years, he would have asked you to divorce long ago."
If he were in Beijing.
But it doesn’t matter. Even if Xiao Lou is not here, don’t we still have Lao Lou
