The second-married little widow is a great beauty [70s]

Chapter 1-10

Chapter 1

In Ningyu Village on a summer night, even the breeze is full of heat. There are many people sitting under the big banyan tree enjoying the shade, holding cattail fans in their hands, and looking excited.

As in the past, the elders and ladies were gossiping, but this time, they were talking about the little widow of the Nie family.

In the entire Ningyu Village, no one knows the little widow of the Nie family whose surname is Chu.

The little widow's name is Chu Wan, her skin is snow-white, her face is as small as a palm, her eyes are shiny and bright, her nose bridge is straight and upturned, coupled with her pink and tender lips, she seems to have stepped out of a painting of.

When Chu Wan came to Ningyu Village for the first time, she went to the educated youth point to report.

The female educated youth who was only eighteen years old at the time had a soft temper and crooked eyes when she smiled. Although she couldn't do any farm work, anyone who saw her couldn't help but help her.

It's just that she would never have imagined that in just two years, that charming young educated girl would become a well-known little widow in the village.

The little widow has a bad life and a bad reputation. Now when the big guys mention her, they all look disgusted, as if they won't be able to catch up in the village if they don't say a few nasty words.

"It's not that I want to talk about her. A woman, on her wedding day, she killed her husband without even seeing him. Isn't it bad luck?"

"Her man is gone, she didn't even shed a tear, her heart is hardened."

"If you don't have a hard heart, you won't be able to dress up like a goblin not long after a man dies. Looking at her eyes, everyone looks like she's trying to seduce someone. In fashionable terms, she's a vixen!"

Everyone said something to me, and finally shook their heads contemptuously.

But at this moment, a voice sounded from not far away: "The little widow has slipped into Captain Gu's room!"

"Really? Where does she have such courage?"

"Battalion Commander Gu has only been in the village not long ago, does she know him? She dares to hook up with him!"

Several aunts and bums were skeptical, but they couldn't beat the excitement of the news, and the group rushed towards the door of Battalion Commander Gu's house after muttering.

It's just that the big guy was trembling while walking.

The little widow is easy to handle, but if they offend the bad-tempered Battalion Commander Gu, will they be unable to bear it?

...

When Gu Xiao returned home, he found that the door was ajar.

He didn't think much about it. After entering, he closed the door tightly and went back to the back room to light the kerosene lamp.

The warm yellow light brightens the inner room.

He was just about to take off his military uniform, when he glanced out of the corner of his eye, his bony fingers suddenly stopped on the shoulder buttons, his face changed slightly.

On his kang, lay a woman with a small face, fine sweat dripped from her forehead, making her black hair stick to her face, making her skin whiter.

She closed her eyes, her slender eyelashes cast deep shadows on her eyes, as if she couldn't sleep well, her eyebrows were furrowed, her eyelashes fluttered slightly, fragile and moving.

At this time, there were voices of chattering outside the house.

"Widow Chu is a girl after all, is she really so shameless to crawl on the bed of Battalion Commander Gu?"

"Really, as soon as I came out of the cowshed, I saw her sneaking towards Battalion Commander Gu's house."

"I guess I've inquired about it, knowing that Battalion Commander Gu rarely comes back to visit relatives, so I saw the opportunity and forced him to submit directly. But what kind of lesbian has never seen Battalion Commander Gu, would he want a widow?"

"This little widow is really courageous. There are a few people in the village who dare to talk to Commander Gu. Fortunately, she just climbed into bed."

One after another voices came and fell into Gu Xiao's ears.

His eyes sank slightly, and his expression became cold.

...

Chu Wan was weak all over, tightly holding the corner of the quilt.

She had a dream.

The dream is the same as the reality. Chu Wan went to the countryside at the age of eighteen.

At that time, the Chu family had only one job quota. One of the sisters went to the nail factory, and the other had to go to the countryside to receive re-education from the poor and lower-middle peasants. Her parents were very fair, they drew lots to decide whether to stay or not, but Chu Wan was unlucky, she got the lottery for going to the countryside.

When she set off with her schoolbag on her shoulders, Chu Wan was a little scared, but the other educated youths in the same company encouraged her. The great leader said that the countryside is vast, and there is a lot to do there!

It's just that somehow, in the blink of an eye, all that she did was to leave only one-third of an acre of Nie's land.

Chu Wan and Nie Qin's marriage was arranged by Chu's father. He and Nie Qin's father were old friends. After meeting again, they found out that the other party was the village secretary of the village where his daughter went to the village.

The two knew each other well and hit it off immediately, and the marriage was quickly finalized.

When it comes to feelings, Chu Wan is ignorant. Her father loves her, so she believes that he can find a good home for her. Speaking of which, Nie Qin should have been a good home. His father was the village party secretary, his elder sister married to the city a few years ago, and is now a waiter in a state-run restaurant. His younger brother is still young, studying in the city and coming back once a week. And he himself works in a steel factory in Jinshi.

Most of the marriages in this era are like this, the conditions are suitable, the parents of both parties agree, and the marriage is finalized.

After several letters, Chu Wan and Nie Qin rushed to get a marriage certificate while he was returning home. In just one month, they were going to get married.

In the dream, the scene of the wedding day reappeared.

That day, she was wearing a bright red dress, sitting in the educated youth spot, quietly waiting for the appearance of her future husband, but what she waited for was the news of his death.

My ears were filled with the screams of Nie's mother, the crying of Nie's siblings, the muffled sound of Nie's father trying to stay calm but fainting on the ground... All eyes fell on her, and she met their eyes , I probably know what these people are thinking.

They were thinking, how will this little widow live in the future?

After Nie Qin passed away, the sky of Nie's family collapsed, and his father-in-law Nie Dedong fell ill.

Nie Dedong took good care of Chu Wan when he first arrived in Ningyu Village. At that time, he was in tears and begged Chu Wan to stay and help support the family.

In the blink of an eye, it was more than a year.

She did all the dirty work of her in-law's house. After all, she was just a little girl. Today, she was so tired and wronged that she almost couldn't bear it any longer, so she ran back to her mother's house.

The father was not at home, and the mother told her helplessly that she was already married, and even if her husband had passed away, she should do her duty as a daughter-in-law. The married daughter's water was thrown out, and her mother's family could not control so much.

Chu Wan left her natal home in disgrace, and before going out, she saw her elder sister Chu Yue coming back on a bicycle with dignity, holding the braised pork from the canteen of her work unit, and asked her if she wanted to stay for dinner. She also saw her mother holding Chu Yue's hand, saying that the child had worked hard.

Chu Wan didn't understand why only her sister was a child when she was also twenty years old.

Back in the village, along the way, she was pointed at by the villagers again. She thought she was used to it, but unexpectedly, when she heard that she was killed by Kefu, Chu Wan's eyes were still red.

Later, when she returned to her husband's house, there was no one in the house. She went into the room and cried for a long time, feeling hot all over her body, and fell asleep drowsily.

This dream told Chu Wan that she was a cannon fodder female supporting role living in a chronicle, and that the cannon fodder supporting female supporting role was weak and incompetent because she wanted to be compared to the independent and self-reliant heroine, her sister Chu Yue.

As a female supporting role, she doesn't appear in many scenes, because at the age of twenty, she will lose her life.

Chu Wan struggled to get up, but she was powerless.

At the same time, her mind was buzzing, and sharp voices came from afar.

"I really know how to choose, the one who climbed is Gu Battalion Commander's kang!"

"I heard that Battalion Commander Gu's parents are both military officers. He himself has made a lot of military exploits at a young age. Two years ago, the leaders of the commune wanted to introduce his daughter to him for a blind date, but he refused..."

"Don't weigh how much you weigh, how dare you climb such a tall branch!"

Chu Wan frowned slightly, a thin layer of sweat broke out on her forehead, she tightly pulled the quilt with her white hands, and opened her eyes drowsily.

The moment she opened her eyes, her heart skipped half a beat.

This is a strange room, and beside him stands a strange man.

The man was dressed in a military uniform with a straight figure. When he turned his face slightly, the line of his jaw suddenly tightened and became sharp.

He had a cold demeanor, looking down at her with disgust in his eyes.

The sound of the villagers knocking on the door was like a heavy hammer, hitting hard.

Chu Wan didn't recognize this man.

She was sweating all over, and her mind was no longer as confused as it was in the evening, but her whole body was still limp. At this moment, she took a breath and recalled the plot in the book.

In that chronology, she died at the age of twenty.

On that day, Chu Wan, who had a high fever, was framed and woke up on the kang of Battalion Commander Gu.

The villagers outside the house ridiculed her, and she ran out of his house in a panic. Fortunately, her friend Wang Meiru, who is also an educated youth, pointed her in a direction.

However, that is the way to the cliff.

It was dark and the road was slippery, and Chu Wan in the original plot stumbled and fell to her death.

Afterwards, the misunderstanding was resolved, and people stopped laughing and mocking when they talked about the little widow who died young.

On the contrary, they would sigh with emotion - everything is fine for Chu Wan, but her fate is bad.

Chu Wan was in a daze.

Is her life bad?

Yes, in the short twenty years of her life, all she tasted was bitter.

But now Chu Wan is sober, she is not a character in the original book, not some cannon fodder female supporting role.

She wants to live, wants to live for herself.

"come out!"

"Widow Chu, don't lose all of us in Ningyu Village."

"Even the officer's idea, tsk tsk..."

"It's really unorthodox!"

Gu Xiao was expressionless, his indifferent eyes fell on her face.

Chu Wan was full of fear, but right now, only the man in front of her could save her.

Amidst the insults outside the house, she suppressed the embarrassment in her heart and struggled to stand up on the side of the kang.

He was tall and oppressive.

Chu Wan raised her pale face, mustered up the courage to meet his menacing gaze, and her clear eyes were full of timidity.

With a cold face, Gu Xiao was about to turn around and open the door, when suddenly, the hem of his clothes was gently pulled.

Her slender hands trembled and her voice was very small.

"Please, keep quiet."

Chapter 2

At this moment, at the door of Battalion Commander Gu's house, a few bums were yelling, their eyes were bloodshot.

All the men in the village knew about the little widow of the Nie family, and there was no one who peeked at her when she was not at work. Serious ones just take a peek, but bastards like them want to take advantage of it from time to time.

It's just that, although the little widow is soft-tempered, she is not stupid. The educated youth who have studied know that they can't go head-to-head with people like them, so they always don't let themselves be alone, so that they can't find opportunities.

It is precisely because of this that she is even more itchy.

But unexpectedly, this delicate and beautiful little widow, which no one can get, would take the initiative to crawl into the room of Battalion Commander Gu.

The bums became more unconvinced the more they thought about it.

All of them, seeing Battalion Commander Gu not even dare to fart on weekdays, now they are shouting non-stop.

"It's a hooligan, isn't it!" Wang Mao said, "Lonely men and widows, what good can they do if they are locked in a room? I don't think you should poke the back of Widow Chu. Isn't Battalion Commander Gu full of bad water..."

"Wang Mao! Shut up your stinking mouth!" Aunt Zhao, who was famous in the village for being aggressive, jumped up all of a sudden, "Battle Commander Gu just came back to the village, and he doesn't know her at all, so what can he do?"

Wang Mao grinned with his big yellow teeth: "What do you think about men and women? Widow Chu is good-looking, let alone in the village, even in the upper city, who cares about her delicate skin and tender flesh?" Don't you like it? Seeing that the old aunt is in a hurry, is she worrying about your Yan'er? Don't worry about it, it doesn't matter if there is a widow or not, Battalion Commander Gu doesn't like Yan'er!"

The villagers couldn't help but look at Aunt Zhao more.

Aunt Zhao's daughter, Qin Meiyan, liked Battalion Commander Gu since she was a child, and everyone knew that. It's just that she had such thoughts, but Battalion Commander Gu had no intention of doing so. At first, Aunt Zhao persuaded her daughter to rest her mind, but seeing that Battalion Commander Gu was twenty-six this year and hadn't married yet, she had some expectations.

What if? Accidentally became the battalion commander's wife, let alone a daughter, even their whole family followed suit!

Aunt Zhao herself has a thick skin, but her girl is not married yet, so how can Wang Mao slander her outside. She became annoyed all of a sudden, and shouted at the top of her voice: "My niece is an innocent little girl, do you compare her to a widow? Keep talking nonsense, and I will tear your stinky mouth!"

The two disagreed with each other, and it seemed that the quarrel was getting worse.

"What are you talking about!"

Everyone looked over, it was the village cadres who came.

Jiang Qiuyue, director of the Women's Federation, stood at the front.

The little widow crawled into Battalion Commander Gu's house. The educated youth ordered an educated youth to tell her about it. When she heard about it, she hurried to find the village chief and the village party secretary.

Although her intuition told her that Chu Wan would not do such a thing, who could be sure? The life of the little widow is too hard, maybe she really wants to find a way out for herself.

Right now, a group of people came over with serious expressions.

The villagers don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, but the village cadres are different, they have to solve the problem.

Wang Mao licked his teeth: "I'll go find a shovel and break open the door!"

Village head Li yelled: "Stop, this is the home of comrades in the army, let me see who dares to mess around!"

...

As soon as Battalion Commander Gu's eyes touched her hand holding the hem of his clothes, she immediately retracted it.

Chu Wan was timid, even her shoulders were trembling, her heart seemed to be about to jump out of her throat.

She forced herself to be calm.

When thinking back rationally, Chu Wan knew that the villagers would not barge in.

They dare not, in Ningyu Village, who dares to kick the door of Battalion Commander Gu?

In other words, as long as she can leave here without running into the villagers, the crisis will be over.

"Besides the gate, is there any other place in your house to go out?" Chu Wan's voice was very soft. She was afraid of the man in front of her, but she had to seize this opportunity as if she was grabbing a life-saving straw.

Gu Xiao looked at her.

At first, he believed the bad things the villagers said. They hadn't known each other before, he wouldn't have overflowed with useless sympathy, and no matter what she'd been through, he shouldn't be using him as a springboard to try to escape her dire situation.

But at this moment, he wavered.

Maybe it's because she didn't do anything offensive, or because her eyes are too clear, she doesn't seem like someone who would think carefully.

Maybe she has something in mind.

"Should you give me an explanation?" Gu Xiao's voice was low and cold when he spoke.

"There's no time to explain now." There was another stern shout from outside the room, as if hitting the bottom of her heart, Chu Wan's shoulders trembled again in fright, her eye circles turned red, "I have to go."

After finishing the words, she turned around and looked outside the house. The main room was empty, and there was a window there.

Chu Wan's first reaction was to get out from here.

But the scene of falling to death in the dream was too real, for a moment, she didn't dare to act rashly.

Looking at her helpless back, Gu Xiao's eyes darkened slightly.

He is not a meddlesome person, and he is even less lazy to help others for no reason. He is not afraid of the shadow, he has not done anything, even if the villagers really broke in.

But the question is, what about her? A young widow, full of right and wrong, he can leave as he pleases, but she can't.

She has to stay in this place and be questioned.

Seeing her flushed and anxious look, she must have a very thin skin, opening the door at this time is to force her to her death.

"There is a window in the firewood room, if you leave through that window, you won't meet anyone outside the door." Gu Xiao said.

Chu Wan was taken aback. It was the first time she came here, and every house in the village had a different structure. If the windows of the main room were leading to the courtyard, they would be blocked when she went out.

When she came to her senses, Chu Wan looked at Battalion Commander Gu gratefully. She was still weak and limp, and even her footsteps were flimsy, but she didn't dare to waste any more time, looking for the direction of the woodshed.

"Follow." Battalion Commander Gu turned off the kerosene lamp and walked to the woodshed.

The window sill of the firewood room is higher than ordinary windowsills. After entering, Gu Xiao supported the window frame with one hand, and flipped out nimbly.

There was a soft landing.

Immediately afterwards, Chu Wan saw his hand reaching out to her.

Under the bright moonlight, his appearance is not clear, but he is tall and firm, and because of the military uniform on his body, he is both frightening and awe-inspiring.

However, he was fierce and had a bad temper. When Chu Wan was in a daze, he lost his patience and grabbed her arm with his broad palm.

Chu Wan's slender arms were supported by a powerful force.

The next moment, she used his strength to muster up her courage and jumped out of the window.

...

The moment she jumped out of the window, Chu Wan's legs were a little weak, but fortunately her arms were still being held and she did not fall.

Ningyu Village is not small, and Battalion Commander Gu's home is at the end of the village.

It was dark at night, but by the moonlight, I could see the way back to my in-law's house.

Chu Wan finally breathed a sigh of relief and raised her face: "Thank you."

"I just don't want to cause trouble for myself." Gu Xiao said calmly.

"Come out!"

"Widow Chu, if you don't come out, we will break in!"

At this moment, the voices of the villagers became distant.

Gu Xiao turned around and left in another direction without looking back.

On the dark country road, Chu Wan's slender figure was weak but firm.

She couldn't recognize the way, so she glanced left and right, and was about to walk in one direction when she suddenly heard the voices of the villagers again.

"There is a figure there, is it Widow Chu?"

"Catch up and have a look!"

Chu Wan panicked, squatted down immediately, and hid behind a big tree not far from Yingying Commander Gu's house.

She closed her eyes and covered her mouth tightly with both hands.

Footsteps sounded, getting closer.

Chu Wan didn't dare to move, let alone make a sound. When she was most helpless, she thought of many things.

In the original book, he was the control group for his sister Chu Yue.

But after her death, when Chu Yue, who had always been on good terms with her, mentioned her, she only said condescendingly, "Sorrow for her misfortune, anger for her."

In the past, Chu Wan was innocent and ignorant, but it was not until the original plot was presented from the perspective of her sister, the heroine, that she realized that her sister was the daughter that her parents held dear to her heart, and even when they drew lots to decide who would go to the countryside, it was because they cared about her body Don't be afraid that she will go to the countryside to suffer and move her hands and feet.

In other words, she was the one who stayed in the city and went to work in the unit.

Chu Wan is not a person who will complain. After going to the countryside, she has been working hard to live, and has been inquiring about places to return to the city.

She thought that she would not be trapped in Ningyu Village all her life, there would always be a way out.

It's just that in the original plot, she fell to her death before she got this way out.

Now, Chu Wan's life can be repeated.

She wanted to leave, and wanted to see what was possible in the future, but the voices of the villagers were getting closer and closer, and she held her breath, only feeling that her mind was buzzing.

The gossip was too mean, and she had had enough of the abuse about the little widow climbing high.

What could be done? The sound of footsteps seemed to be in the ear, and they would catch her on the spot.

Chu Wan became more and more tired, her eyes gradually dimmed...

But I didn't want to, at this moment, voices sounded in the distance.

"Battlemaster Gu is back!"

"It turns out that Battalion Commander Gu went to Aunt Mo's place and is not at home at all."

"I heard that the little widow in our village crawled into your house. Battalion Commander Gu, please go into the house and have a look. If there is such a thing, we will definitely not let her go!"

That was the voice from the small courtyard of Gu Yingchang's house.

Chu Wan didn't expect that he didn't go back through the window, but turned his head, and stepped into the gate frankly in front of everyone.

Just when she was stunned, those figures who were looking for her made rustling movements, they turned around, and the sound of footsteps gradually faded away.

"Go back quickly, they are going to enter the house to catch the little widow!"

"The noise just now was probably not a figure, but the wind..."

"Let's go, don't miss the good show at Gu Battalion Commander's house!"

Chu Wan curled up, her slender body hid behind the big tree, cold sweat dripped from her forehead.

He saved her.

...

When the villagers dispersed, Chu Wan returned to her mother-in-law's house. As soon as she entered the house, she saw her mother-in-law's ashen face.

Chen Xiu'e didn't go out and stayed at home the whole time.

And because Battalion Commander Gu's family is at the end of the village, she didn't hear those rumors at all.

The daughter-in-law has been married to Nie's family for a year, and although she doesn't go back to her mother's house often, even if it is only once or twice, Chen Xiu'e is still dissatisfied with her.

What are you doing back home? If you don't fight the autumn wind, you will waste the travel expenses back and forth!

Besides, she has returned to her mother's house, who will do the housework?

"Wash the clothes first, and then clean up the dishes." Chen Xiu'e instructed, "After a day of homework, you will know how to be lazy."

Chu Wan is well-behaved and weak, and she doesn't have the temperament to argue with others, but it doesn't mean that she is a person who accepts her fate.

Before, she was willing to stay at her husband's house and to help with the work, not only because she was grateful to her father-in-law for taking care of her, but because she couldn't leave the sick old man behind, and because she had nowhere to go.

It is precisely because of this that she endured when her mother-in-law said something harsh, or left the dirty work to her.

It's not good for this family to be in a state of chaos all day long. Anyway, one day, she will return to the city.

But now, Chu Wan can no longer face her in-laws.

In the original plot, after her death, a conversation between her in-laws was described in detail.

In that conversation, the old couple didn't feel sad for her death, but they had a little regret, because they originally wanted to wait a few years, and when her brother-in-law should marry a wife, they would find her a widower to marry her. Go out and exchange some dowry money.

It's a pity that once she fell to her death, the dowry money was lost.

Thinking of this, Chu Wan's pretty eyebrows unconsciously twitched, and she no longer wanted to listen to her mother-in-law's nagging, so she turned and walked towards the kitchen.

Seeing her daughter-in-law go to work in the kitchen, Chen Xiu'e's face relaxed a little, and she turned and went back to the house.

On the kang, my wife had already fallen asleep, and she, as usual, pulled up the quilt and fell asleep after touching the pillow.

She slept soundly and was having a sweet dream when she suddenly felt that the smell wafting through her nose was even more fragrant.

Chen Xiu'e touched her nose, what's the smell?

Following the smell, Chen Xiu'e got down from the kang and went to open the door in the dark, but she didn't want to catch her foot on the threshold by accident and fall to the ground with a "bang".

With a "squeak", the door was slowly pushed open by her head.

Chen Xiu'e, who was still sleepy at first, was in pain and dumbfounded. Seeing Chu Wan's good deed, she froze in place.

Is she dreaming?

Damn, the little widow has gone against the sky!

Chapter 3

Chen Xiu'e fell hard, and before she had time to yell "Ouch, Ouch", her brain was about to explode with a bang.

Chu Wan sat on the bench beside the Eight Immortals table.

There is egg custard in the thick bowl on the table, and there is an enamel jar next to it. The brown sugar water in the enamel jar is not light in color, and it looks like it was washed out by digging out several spoonfuls of brown sugar.

The freshly boiled egg custard is smooth, tender, and delicious. After taking another sip of sweet brown sugar water, the little widow ate and drank slowly and calmly, with a flawless face. It's not like sitting in a simple house in the village, but like sitting in a state-run restaurant in the city enjoying a good time.

Chen Xiu'e's feet hurt from the fall, and her heart hurt even more.

The family used to have no worries about eating and drinking, but now that Nie Qin is gone, and the old man Nie resigned from his post as village party secretary because of illness, they have already had a rough time.

The eggs were saved for the younger son who was studying in the city, and the brown sugar was bought by the eldest daughter who worked as a waiter in a state-run restaurant. How could it be Chu Wan's turn?

"What are you doing?" Chen Xiu'e rubbed her ankle, got up from the ground, and cursed aggressively, "Did you steal an egg?"

Chu Wan raised her head, holding the enamel jar in her two small white hands: "There are two."

Chen Xiu'e was dumbfounded.

Normally, as long as she swears at others, this little daughter-in-law is afraid of disturbing the rest of the family, and even more afraid of being accused by the villagers if it is spread out. He lowered his head obediently.

But now, she was not afraid at all, and said it openly - it was two eggs!

Chen Xiu'e was in a daze for a while, but quickly recovered her combat state.

"Is there anyone in the village who cooks and eats like this? You treat it as food that falls from the sky? Eggs and brown sugar, you don't eat the expensive ones! You're hungry, just fall asleep? I only drink for one night I ordered some sweet potato porridge, and now I'm flustered with hunger, so what do I eat?"

"Are you hungry too?" Chu Wan raised her eyes and said seriously, "Then go to sleep, you won't be hungry when you sleep."

Chen Xiu'e choked on her words.

I thought my daughter-in-law was arguing with me, but when I looked again, she was soft-spoken and still had a good temper.

Does she seem to care about herself?

No, there is no one who cares about people like this, the little widow is clearly trying to anger her!

Chen Xiu'e continued to curse, but Chu Wan's reaction was even more annoying.

"Then what should we do? Why don't you report to the police." Chu Wan said softly.

Chen Xiu'e was in the middle of scolding, her throat was blocked by her full stomach, her mouth was wide open, and her eyes were about to pop out of their sockets.

What did she say?

What did she say!

But if you eat everything, you can't make people spit it out.

It's really ugly when it's too big. Before her old man fell ill, he was also the village party secretary. The daughter-in-law usually earns work points, so what's wrong with eating two eggs all year round?

If word got out, the village committee might have to send someone to educate her. Old man Nie loves saving face the most, and there will be no place to put his old face at that time.

Chen Xiu'e was in a panic, almost out of breath, and gave Chu Wan a bitter look.

Have to hide the eggs and brown sugar tomorrow!

Chen Xiu'e went back to the room angrily, trying to wake up her sleeping wife.

But old man Nie slept soundly, and when he heard her say that Chu Wan ate the eggs, he just smacked his lips and continued to snore.

On the other side, Chu Wan went back into the house.

For a long time, her stomach has been empty, and she hasn't been so satisfied for a long time.

She is not good at quarreling, and she doesn't want to quarrel with her mother-in-law. Now she just wants to think more about herself.

As cannon fodder in the original book, Chu Wan in the past was dominated by the original plot, and she never seemed to think deeply about many issues.

But now it's different.

She began to think, what brought her to this point?

It seems that many people and many things are contributing to the flames.

After Chu Wan lay down, her heart felt more at ease.

In the original plot, it didn't explain how she got to Battalion Commander Gu's house, as if the existence of this plot was just to arrange her death, it didn't matter.

At that time, she was obviously exhausted from the fever, and she was sleeping at home, so it was impossible for her to walk to Battalion Commander Gu's house by herself.

Who is trying to frame her?

Chu Wan thought about it like this, and gradually became sleepy.

She was pulled by the corner, and suddenly remembered the scene when she woke up on Gu Yingchang's kang just now, and remembered his stern expression.

At that time, the situation was urgent, and I didn't have time to get into it, but recalling it now, the atmosphere at that time was too delicate.

She bit her lip, her head was buzzing, her ears were hot, and she was a little embarrassed.

Although he pointed out a way to escape for herself, Chu Wan still hoped that she would never run into him again.

However, after she left, what would Battalion Commander Gu do when he returned to the courtyard?

Chu Wan didn't know, but she was relieved.

Such a sense of trust is not without reason, because today, if he hadn't helped her, her fate would be the same as the original plot.

...

When Gu Xiao came back, he happened to meet the villagers in the small courtyard.

Some people said that the little widow sneaked into his house, and some people said that she hooked up with men everywhere. This time, she immediately fell in love with the officer, and she wanted to go all out...

However, the big guy spoke dryly, and then raised his eyes to meet the eyes of Battalion Commander Gu.

Battalion Commander Gu looked calm, but his eyes were cold and aggressive.

For a moment, the villagers kept their mouths tightly shut.

"Let's leave, it's nothing like that." Village Chief Li said, "Don't disturb Battalion Chief Gu."

In Ningyu Village, anyone who has this kind of thing has a reason to be eligible to enter the house to search, but the one in front of him is Battalion Commander Gu.

The villagers didn't dare to insist any longer, and they all looked listless. Although they were reluctant to leave, they still moved at a slow pace.

Gu Xiao didn't bother to pay attention to it, he took a step with his long legs, pushed the door open and entered the room.

The villagers wanted to rush forward, but when they had a question, how dare they go past him.

"Village Chief Li, the little widow must be inside, someone saw it just now..."

"Fu Zhiqing, that's enough! Let me see who dares to put the hat of male and female style on Gu Battalion Commander?"

Gu Xiao stopped in his tracks, his eyes calmly glanced at the other party.

Thin figure, thin cheeks, a pair of glasses on the bridge of the nose, and a book in his hand, with a gentle appearance.

Swept by such eyes, Fu Zhiqing's heart suddenly trembled.

This cold and stern gaze is no different from killing the enemy on the battlefield.

He immediately avoided Battalion Commander Gu's gaze, took a big step back, and made way for him, not daring to say a word.

With a "bang", the door was closed.

In the small courtyard, the villagers were still reluctant to leave.

They were all guarding the door, secretly listening to the movement inside.

Fu Xianguang, who was in the corner, took advantage of everyone's inattention, and groped furtively to the window of the main room of Gu Battalion Commander's house.

The window was open, and he gently held the window frame and climbed in.

The rustling sound made him flustered, he held his breath and paused for a moment, then took off his shoes, stepped on the ground, and entered the room lightly.

Widow Chu must be in the house, he can be sure.

Because he carried people in.

Fu Xianguang has liked Chu Wan since he first went to the countryside, but she has never looked him in the eye.

When he got off work today, he passed by Nie's house and saw that there was no one in the house, so he wanted to go in and talk to her. Upon entering the room, she was found to be sleeping soundly with a high fever.

Fu Xianguang had heard before that a bum took a little girl into a grove, and at that time his head was hot, so he carried Chu Wan out of the house.

But after all, he was an educated youth, not a wanderer. When the night wind blew, he calmed down.

If Chu Wan cried out for help after waking up, she would be committing a crime and would be sent to a labor camp.

Thinking about it again, in the past Chu Wan loved to ignore him, and Fu Xianguang resented him in his heart, wanting to crush her to death with the spit of the villagers.

At that moment, he happened to be standing in front of Battalion Commander Gu's house.

After knocking on the door several times to make sure that the battalion commander was not at home, he boldly did all this.

Battalion Commander Gu is something Chu Wan can't afford to offend, she will pay the price for the contempt she had for her in the past!

But now, the plan fell through.

Fu Xianguang was not reconciled.

At that time, Chu Wan had a high fever, how could she slip away?

He didn't believe in evil, so he decided to sneak into the house to have a look.

But who knows, just when he reached the door of the inner room lightly, thinking that everything was going well, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest.

There was a "bang" sound, and with a flying kick, he was kicked far away, and his back slammed into the corner of the wall.

Fu Xianguang clutched his chest, cried out in pain, lying on the ground, unable to move for a long time.

The next moment, he saw a pair of military boots.

Fu Xianguang's face was pale, and when he raised his head, he saw the condescending Battalion Commander Gu in front of him.

What I saw out of the corner of my eye was an empty back room.

...

With a "squeak", the door was opened again.

Just when the villagers were delighted to think that the little widow was really in the house, they suddenly saw Commander Gu grabbing Fu Zhiqing's skirt and dragging him out.

With a strong force, Battalion Commander Gu slammed him onto the ground in the compound.

Everyone took a big step back in fright.

Fu Xianguang was so dizzy from the pain that he couldn't even stand up straight when he was rolling and crawling.

Battalion Commander Gu asked sharply, "Is there anyone in the room?"

Fu Xianguang was trembling all over, and his voice was so frightened that his voice was weak: "No, there is no one in the room! Yes, it was my mistake, I shouldn't have sneaked in!"

Only then did the villagers understand what had happened.

But at the same time, everyone was too scared to breathe.

Fu Zhiqing, who is usually polite and decent, is the favorite of many girls in the village.

But in front of Battalion Commander Gu, he looked like a little chick, saying he was caught, so he was caught?

Fu Xianguang went in to look, but found nothing.

This means that the little widow didn't climb the bed at all.

There is almost no place to put the old face of the village chief.

Battalion Commander Gu lived in the village when he was a child, but in fact, he was not from Ningyu Village.

He is now a battalion commander, and he is willing to come back to visit his relatives. This is the honor of the whole village, but now the villagers actually go to disturb him!

The village cadres severely criticized a group of villagers who spread rumors, wrote self-criticisms, deducted work points, and ordered everyone present not to mention this unfounded incident again.

When the villagers thought about the work points that had been deducted, their hearts were bleeding, and when they saw Battalion Commander Gu's solemn expression, even the heartache was silent.

"Fu Zhiqing, you broke into Gu Battalion Commander's house without permission. This matter must be severely punished. We will report it to the commune for criticism and punishment!"

Fu Xianguang was stunned.

He is the most capable educated youth in the village, and he has done a lot of practical things for the village cadres. He may be included in the list of the next batch of returning to the city. But now, everything is gone.

Before the punishment comes down, he will probably be assigned to do the dirtiest and most tiring work in the village, or even - he offended Battalion Commander Gu, if he is not careful, he will be permanently disqualified from returning to the city!

How did the whole thing develop to this point?

Why did he run to bully the little widow?

...

Wang Meiru, who is also an educated youth, stood aside, secretly feeling the respect that the village cadres had for Gu Xiao, and her heart was pounding.

In her last life, she had heard that there was a military officer in the village, and he was a big man who the villagers thought had a good face whenever they mentioned it.

But in her previous life, Wang Meiru had never met him, and this was the first time she met him.

Battalion Commander Gu was wearing a military uniform with a tall and straight figure. Just standing there, his aura overshadowed everyone.

His facial features are very handsome, sharp and sharp, with one look, the people in front of him dare not even show their breath.

He is the future commander. If he becomes the commander's wife, will he still have troubles in life?

Wang Meiru wants him to notice her more.

She straightened her face and raised her voice slightly, showing just the right amount of anger and justice.

"I just said, Chu Wan is not such a person."

"Chu Wan and I went to the countryside together, and I know her best."

"Chu Wan usually doesn't even dare to speak loudly, how could she climb on the bed?"

When the voice fell, Wang Meiru tried to meet Gu Xiao's eyes.

However, he didn't even glance at himself from the corner of his eye.

Battalion Commander Gu gradually lost his patience.

This villager is too noisy.

But at the same time, he inadvertently wrote down the name-Chu Wan.

Chapter 4

This time, Chu Wan slept very soundly.

When it was almost dawn, she habitually opened her eyes and was about to get up to work, when she suddenly recovered and continued to sleep.

Chen Xiu'e and old man Nie got up when the sun was going up the mountain, and the first thing they did after getting up on weekdays was to eat the breakfast prepared by Chu Wan.

But today, the main room was quiet, and there was no movement in the kitchen.

"What the hell is going on this early in the morning?"

Chen Xiu'e knocked on the door a few times, but there was no movement at all: "I ate eggs and brown sugar last night, and today is even worse. You didn't even cook?"

"What's the matter? Chu Wan was never so lazy before." Old Man Nie said.

"Who knows? Seeing that we are old and easy to bully?" Chen Xiu'e spat, "The girl and the third child will be back in two days, let our girl teach her a lesson!"

Old man Nie waved his hand: "Okay, don't say a few words, you go and make breakfast."

Chen Xiu'e was unhappy, and stared: "You let me cook?"

Old man Nie said: "Didn't you do it before? What's wrong, our family doesn't eat without a daughter-in-law?"

Chen Xiu'e gritted her teeth, turned her head and entered the kitchen, still nagging.

In the room at this moment, Chu Wan was sleeping soundly.

The sun shone into the room and fell on her snow-white face, even the fluff on her cheeks was clearly visible.

When she felt the dazzling light, she gently covered her eyes with her hand.

The mother-in-law's complaints passed by her ears, and Chu Wan felt at ease.

The turmoil of the original plot subsided, she should have apologized and explained to Commander Gu, but thinking of his cold expression, Chu Wan was shaken again.

Will it be considered bad intentions?

When Battalion Commander Gu came home and saw her lying on his kang, he must have been as disgusted as the villagers. At that time, he was willing to save her only because he didn't want to be implicated by her.

He is fierce, and she can't give a reasonable explanation for what happened last night. If she disturbs her again, will the other party directly report to the police and punish her as a hooligan?

Chu Wan didn't want to run into trouble by risking being a female hooligan.

Chu Wan, who didn't have to get up at dawn to make breakfast like before, slept very contentedly.

She got up at that time, folded the quilt on the kang neatly, changed her clothes, and was ready to pick up the tools and go to work.

Before going out, she took a tortilla from the table of the Eight Immortals, and when she raised her eyes, she met Chen Xiu'e's fierce gaze.

With an innocent expression, Chu Wan took a bite of the tortilla and went out.

"Look! See what she means!" Chen Xiu'e gritted her teeth.

Old man Nie didn't hear the conversation between his daughter-in-law and his wife last night, so he didn't notice anything wrong at all. He smoked a pipe and said, "The old scalper wants to rest when he's tired. It's just that he hasn't cooked all morning."

From Nie Dedong's point of view, female educated youths from the city have a lot of thoughts, and it is rare to see such a simple girl like Chu Wan. He would not believe that she was really out of mind and went to hook up with men.

However, old man Nie never defended her. After all, such a bad reputation is not good for Chu Wan, but it is good for their Nie family.

There is no young labor force in the family anymore. Although Chu Wan is petite, she can still go to work to earn work points, and she usually takes care of her at home. Their Nie family really cannot do without her, so don't push her into a hurry.

After all, rabbits bite people when they are in a hurry.

...

Chu Wan didn't know what happened to Battalion Commander Gu's house after she left yesterday, so she couldn't find out.

Early in the morning, Fu Zhiqing was punished and placed in confinement. The village head had already ordered no one to mention this matter again, so it was impossible for her to hear about it again.

At this moment, she was going out to go to the brigade by the stream to pick up labor tools, but before she arrived, Jiang Qiuyue called out to herself.

"Chu educated youth!" Jiang Qiuyue is middle-aged, with short hair around her ears and a round face. When she smiles, she is very gentle and amiable. "Haven't you gone to work yet?"

The director of the Women's Federation was far away, and Chu Wan didn't hear the second half of her sentence as the wind carried her away.

But she was always polite, she immediately stopped and trotted over.

Jiang Qiuyue froze for a moment, then smiled and stood there waiting for Chu Wan.

She walked briskly, without delaying a moment, just like the most lovable student in the school, as soon as she heard the teacher's call, she immediately stepped forward, obedient and quiet.

However, Jiang Qiuyue remembered that when she first saw Chu Wan, she was not so quiet.

The female educated youth, who was only 18 years old at the time, exuded youthful vigor all over her body. Although she was a little afraid of this strange environment, her eyes were bright and hopeful.

Director Jiang doesn't know what Chu Wan's mentality is like now, he only knows that the little girl has had a hard time this year.

The gossip of the villagers alone can overwhelm people.

Taking her clothes as an example, Jiang Qiuyue clearly saw that she was wearing rough and monotonous clothes, which were completely different from other educated youth's clothes, but because she was beautiful and her status was intriguing, the villagers would say- -The little widow is dressed up again to hook up.

Director Jiang thought of this, and saw that Chu Wan had already arrived in front of him.

The little girl's skin was white and translucent, and her eyes were as soft and gentle as before: "Director Jiang, do you have anything to do with me?"

Director Jiang originally wanted to say no, but he hesitated for a while when the words came to his lips.

In the past few years, educated youths have been sent to the countryside one after another. When the Women's Federation needs staff, she will ask the educated youths she knows to help. This is a good job, and the educated youths are of course willing. Holding a pen is easier than holding a hoe.

Just now, Jiang Qiuyue originally planned to go to the educated youth point to find a comrade to go back to the office with her, but now she happened to meet Chu Wan, and the little girl was so polite and obedient, why not give this job to her for a try.

"Chu Zhiqing, there is some work in the office. Come and help me. The work points are counted. You don't have to go to the field today. I'll send someone to come and talk to the scorekeeper."

Chu Wan opened her eyes wide.

There is no need to go to the ground today!

In the hut at the end of the village, the little girl's childish voice sounded, and her little hands twisted into twists in front of her: "Daddy said that after eating sugar, the teeth will grow small worms."

The little girl's name is Suisui, she is more than three years old this year, with a pair of round almond eyes, blinking.

Gu Xiao touched the child's little head.

This visit was to bring the children to visit their grandma, so when he returned to the village yesterday, he left Anian and Suisui at Grandma Mo's house so that the grandparents and grandchildren could get along well.

Grandma Mo said with a smile: "Don't we have toothpaste and a small toothbrush every year? After brushing our teeth, there will be no bugs."

Seeing the cute appearance of her little granddaughter, Grandma Mo smiled so that the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes deepened. She touched Suisui's little face and said gratefully to Gu Xiao, "It's lucky to have you, otherwise I don't know how to get rid of it." This kid is stretched."

However, looking at the eldest grandson who was scratching the ground with a branch outside the house, she sighed again.

The child's temperament is too withdrawn, but he is not to blame.

Grandma Mo lowered her eyes, remembering the past.

That year, An Nian was three years old, and Sui Sui was only eight months old. When the news of their father's death came from the front line, the old man and his daughter-in-law froze in place, almost unable to believe their ears.

She has tasted the pain of a white-haired man sending a black-haired man, but no matter how difficult the life is, she cannot fall down.

Grandma Mo knew that it was not easy for her daughter-in-law, but when she woke up one night hearing the cry of her grandchildren and ran to the back room to find that her daughter-in-law had left, she still didn't feel relieved.

The old man fell ill.

And Gu Xiao came at that time.

At that time, the little Sui Sui grabbed his neck and pronounced unconsciously, calling "Dad."

Gu Xiao said that he was willing to pick up the two children and raise them up.

This raising is three years.

In the military area, Gu Xiao didn't have much time to accompany the two children. One was sent to the military area nursery, and the other was sent to the military area primary school. After school, the neighbor Director Fang's wife was asked to help pick them up.

Grandma Mo always thanked him for giving too much for the two children, but in fact he knew it was not enough.

Suisui is cute and lively, but she is a little crybaby, and always expresses her dissatisfaction by crying loudly. The teachers in the entire military nursery are afraid of her, saying that she has been spoiled too much.

And An Nian, when he learned of his father's death and his mother's departure, he was already six years old, and he was already a sensible age, so this hurt was firmly imprinted in his heart. He grew up in the military camp, and he knew how to protect himself with his fists. He was afraid of being bullied, so he caused trouble everywhere...

Gu Xiao has taught and talked with them, but no matter what he does, the two children should be what they are, or what they should be.

"When you come back this time, let's keep the two children. You are not young anymore, it's time to talk about marriage and live your own life." Grandma Mo said.

After all, she watched Gu Xiao grow up, and Grandma Mo has long regarded him as her godson.

He was only six or seven years old at that time, and his parents were on the front line, worried that they would not be able to take care of their siblings, so they sent them to Ningyu Village. He grew up with An Nian and Sui Sui's father, the two children were young, and the relationship between the brothers was very good, so after the death of his friend, he was depressed for a long time.

A few years ago, Gu Xiao still didn't believe that his friend had passed away, and always said that it was just missing, but in the past two years, he hardly mentioned it anymore, and presumably he had accepted the reality.

Gu Xiao said: "This visit is not short, let the children accompany you before leaving."

Grandma Mo sighed.

She has asked him to keep the child more than once, but Gu Xiao politely refused.

A 26-year-old battalion commander, his parents also hold important positions in the military region. Although he looks cold on the surface, he can't help but look handsome. There must be many lesbians in the military region who are interested in him... It's a pity that he is so good The condition is that you have to bring two children, and you are still stubborn. If you don't say that the child is not your own, how can you find a wife?

"It's not good to let the two children delay you. Tell Aunt Mo, what kind of little girl do you like?" Grandma Mo asked.

Gu Xiao didn't reply to Grandma Mo's words, but just happened to look out of the window.

A familiar figure passed by.

Outside the window, Chu Wan was wearing simple clothes, her long black hair was braided, hanging on her slender shoulders, holding a notebook in her hand. She seemed to be very happy, with a quiet smile on her lips, and the breeze was blowing, and she was as beautiful as a painting.

Gu Xiao recalled the scenes of last night, and his eyes fell on the shallow dimples on her lips.

What is she going to say to him?

At this moment, Chu Wan was very happy.

Because she just went to Director Jiang's office to work!

When the complicated materials are sorted out, there is a sense of accomplishment, which is completely different from the feeling of doing physical work in the field.

The work in the morning is over, and Chu Wan is going to report to the grain drying field at the end of the village. She is in a happy mood, and the corners of her lips can't stop smiling.

However, when she passed a hut at the end of the village, she suddenly felt a threatening gaze.

Chu Wan turned her eyes curiously, dumbfounded.

What is he?

When she met Gu Xiao's cold eyes, she fell into deep thought.

meet again.

The morning's dreadful thoughts returned - hooliganism!

Hardly thinking about it, Chu Wan "da da da" took a few steps and disappeared in a flash.

Gu Xiao:?

Didn't come to see him?

Also, why is she acting like the hell?

Grandma Mo:!

The eyeballs are growing on the face of the little widow, look at the dignified Battalion Commander Gu's worthless appearance!

Chapter 5

Looking at each other for only a second, Chu Wan's originally calm and clear eyes immediately became turbulent, and then turned around and ran away.

Gu Xiao looked at her slender figure who ran away with a "whoosh" displeasure.

How scary is he?

Grandma Mo followed his gaze and looked at it for a while.

This child's vision is really poisonous, and he immediately spotted the well-known and beautiful widow in the village!

Grandma Mo doesn't know Chu Wan well. The old man's son is a martyr with a high pension. In addition, she is too old to go to work. At most, she just goes to Nana sole with other old ladies and listens to her. They gossip to pass the day.

People say that as long as it is related to Chu Wan, there seems to be nothing good to say about it. Either the little widow is trying to kill her husband, or the little widow is unscrupulous and seduces people everywhere...

Grandma Mo persuaded: "There should be many good-looking and excellent lesbians in your military region, right? Although Xiao Chu is an educated youth, she has no serious job and no reliable family. She is still a widow and will follow you in the army." , just the gossip in the compound is too much to bear."

Gu Xiao: ...

she? With the army? Where is this?

However, from these words, he captured an important point: "Is she still an educated youth?"

Grandma Mo's temples throbbed.

After so many years, when did Gu Xiao inquire about the situation of a little girl? He probably is really interested in Widow Chu now!

However, although she took care of him for several years when he was a child, she is not his real mother after all, so it is not easy to interfere too much.

When Gu Xiao came back this trip, wouldn't he bring a daughter-in-law back to the military area?

Gu Xiao had no idea that at this moment, Grandma Mo had already made up a big drama in her mind.

He only thought that since the other party was an educated youth, he had always been educated and thoughtful.

Trapped in a small mountain village, with such a reputation but powerless, wouldn't she resist?

And Grandma Mo looked at Gu Xiao, and she had completely concluded that the reason he didn't reply must be because she was restless when she mentioned Chu Wan.

Why don't you go inquire and find out what kind of person Chu Zhiqing is?

After all, as long as it is something that Gu Xiao decides, who can stop it!

...

Although it has already entered summer, the weather has not really gotten hot until now. The scorching sun is shining on their heads, and the team members working in the field are sweating profusely.

The hoe smashed into the ground with a sound, and suddenly, someone muttered.

"Where is Widow Chu?"

"Did you ask for leave? You asked for leave yesterday to go back to your mother's house, and you're back today?"

"Hehe, it's different to be good-looking. Why is the production leader only treating her so well? Last time I asked for leave, but he didn't agree!"

"That's right. There's so much work to do in the field. If she doesn't work, we'll have to do more."

The scorekeeper frowned and interrupted them: "Zhao Hongyan, what does it mean that the production team leader treats Chu Zhiqing well? What is the reason why you asked for leave last time? I don't know why? As long as it is a reasonable request, the production team leader will approve it. Yesterday she was going back to her mother's house." , the work points that should be deducted are also deducted, if any of you have any objections, you can go to the captain, or directly report to the commune!"

With this scolding, everyone shut their mouths limply, still not convinced from the bottom of their hearts, the whole village was calling the little widow, and only this scorekeeper was calling Chu Zhiqing in a serious manner.

How can you pretend to be a decent person!

"Besides, isn't Chu Zhiqing today-" The scorekeeper was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"Don't talk about Chu Wan anymore. Her parents are from the city. There are many things in the city. They are far away and communication is inconvenient. She just went back." Wang Meiru gently wiped the sweat with the back of her hand, her voice was clear and gentle, " Chu Wan has delicate skin and tender flesh, so she can't stand the sun, so please be more tolerant."

Everyone knew that Wang Meiru and Chu Wan went to the countryside together. They were both educated youths. The two relied on each other in the village and were best friends. Therefore, what she said seemed to be speaking on behalf of the little widow.

"City people! City people are upper-class people? Are they different from us?"

"The people in this city are so decent, why doesn't her mother's family get her a place to go back to the city?"

"She is precious, but she can't be exposed to the sun. Our lives are cheap, should we help her do her part of the job?"

Wang Meiru became even more anxious after hearing everyone's sour words, and quickly helped to explain: "Why are you still angry? I have no other intentions."

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Chu Wan's figure slowly approached from not far away.

She was walking under the shade of a tree, holding a notebook in her hand, her black braids were combed on both sides of her shoulders, but her eyes were not lonely at all, and she was still looking radiant.

Wang Meiru subconsciously touched the sweat on her forehead and in the middle of her face.

She was sweating all over, and she was so embarrassed. Compared with Chu Wanyi, she looked like a well-bred urbanite, while she was no different from a real farmer.

I don't know why, even though Chu Wan is being beaten by everyone now, as long as she appears in front of everyone, she doesn't need to do anything to attract everyone's attention.

Wang Meiru hesitated for a moment: "Didn't Xiaowan go back to her mother's house?"

Chu Wan pointed to the workbook in her hand, and said softly, "Director Jiang asked me to help register women's birth and work status."

After the words fell, she looked at Wang Meiru again: "Did I tell you to go back to my mother's house?"

"What I was going to say just now is that you keep interrupting me." The scorekeeper also said, "Chu Zhiqing didn't go back to her natal family, let alone ask for leave. She works in the village committee."

Wang Meiru's expression was unnatural.

Chu Wan looked at her like a bright mirror in her heart.

In yesterday's dream, Chu Wan saw that after her death, when other educated youths asked Wang Meiru about her climbing into Battalion Commander Gu's house, Wang Meiru shook her head and said that she had already persuaded her...

During the whole process, the only time Chu Wan saw Wang Meiru cry for her was when she was in front of Battalion Commander Gu.

She was crying like pear blossoms and raining, and she performed a scene of sisterly love, trying to gain a sense of existence, but the other party didn't pay attention.

Later, Battalion Commander Gu found evidence to clarify everything, and the rumors were quelled, but it was too late.

Could it be that Wang Meiru carried herself to Battalion Commander Gu's house?

Chu Wan looked at her slender wrist.

She shouldn't have such great strength, and even if she has a lot of thoughts, she doesn't seem like the person who would do such a thing...

"Didn't you go back to your mother's house? I, I misunderstood." Wang Meiru came back to her senses, showing a playful smile, as if she didn't mean it.

"Meiru, I don't ask for leave often, this is a big misunderstanding." Chu Wan's voice was still soft and gentle.

Rural people have not studied for a few years, but they still have wisdom in life. Seeing this, they immediately murmured in their hearts.

Aren't Wang Meiru and Chu Wan best friends? She should know best whether he has returned to her mother's house or not. When the big guy was dissatisfied just now, why did she not only refuse to persuade, but also deliberately lifted which pot without opening it, adding fuel to the fire?

Thinking about it carefully, Wang Meiru always seems to be like this. On the surface, she looks sensible, but in fact she always secretly pokes holes for the little widow.

"What are you doing? Everyone is not working?" The production team leader's whistle sounded, "I don't want work points?"

Wang Meiru scrambled to express herself during this time, not wanting to leave a bad impression on the villagers and village cadres, so she pulled Chu Wan aside and lowered her voice: "Xiao Wan, what did you mean by that just now?"

"I just think it would be bad if what you say affects the evaluation of us by the Educated Youth Office." Chu Wan smiled.

Wang Meiru's expression changed: "You also want to go back to the city?"

"Who doesn't want to." Chu Wan raised her eyes with a frank expression.

None of the educated youths who went to the countryside did not want to go back to the city.

If young people sent to the countryside who have worked in the countryside for more than two years perform well, they can be recruited to become workers in industrial and mining enterprises through recommendation. However, the policy is strict and very few actually receive the notice to return to the city.

"But you're already married!" Wang Meiru panicked.

Among the entire team of educated youths, she was the most outstanding one, and her family also promised that they would try their best to manage it. But now, Chu Wan said that she also wants to compete for this spot.

Although Chu Wan's reputation is not good, in all fairness, she has never held back or been coquettish in the team. In addition, although the villagers are unreasonable, the village officials sympathize with her experience. If she is not careful, the quota for returning to the city will fall to What to do on her head?

"I went to work." Chu Wan didn't continue this topic.

Wang Meiru looked at her back and froze in place.

So what if you get married? Educated youths want to go back to the city with their heads sharpened. I heard that educated youths who have families in the countryside, even if some couples have a good relationship and have children, will abandon their wives and children after getting the quota to return to the city. What's more, Chu Wan's husband is already dead.

She was originally qualified to compete for the place in the city.

Wang Meiru's mood became depressed.

For some reason, she always felt that this time, Chu Wan was different.

The smile is still docile, but it just becomes less coaxable and obedient.

Wang Meiru recalled Chu Wan's eyes just now, trying to find a trace of aggression in them.

But no, she always looked soft, just like when she first went to the countryside in the past, as if she had no heart at all.

After her rebirth, she has been using her own methods to manipulate Chu Wan. What went wrong?

...

After work, the director of the Women's Federation called Chu Wan to the village office to sort out the materials, and was so busy that the sun was about to set.

She lowered her head, holding a pen in her slender hand, and recorded the tasks assigned by the director.

On the workbook, the fonts are densely packed, but neat and elegant.

Jiang Qiuyue checked it and was a little surprised.

There were quite a few educated youths who came to the village office to sort out the materials for her, but Chu Wan was the only one who could do things so meticulously, efficiently, and organized.

It turned out that those educated youths worked slowly because they wanted to delay time. After all, they would not have to go to the fields to be exposed to the sun and rain by working in the village committee.

Working hard in the field, it is understandable to want to be lazy, but I understand the reason. With the comparison, Director Jiang naturally appreciates the down-to-earth Chu Wan a little more.

Jiang Qiuyue looked at Chu Wan's handwriting with satisfaction, with a look of approval.

At this time, her stomach growled.

She patted her thigh: "The sun is already setting, look at me, I forget the time when I get busy, Chu Zhiqing, you have to go back and cook?"

Chu Wan remembers the time. In the past year, after she got off work every day, she had to go back to cook.

But now, she doesn't want to do it.

At this point, they must be starving.

But before she married into Nie's family, didn't her in-laws eat?

"It doesn't matter, the work of the Women's Federation is important." Chu Wan said softly.

Jiang Qiuyue was worried that she would be punished if she went back late, so she stood up and said, "Let's drop by, let's go together."

...

At this moment in Nie's house, there was a "bang bang bang dang" sound from the kitchen.

Normally, cooking can't make such a big noise, but Chen Xiu'e is full of anger.

The bitter daughter-in-law finally became a mother-in-law, but she only had a year of easy life, why is her daughter-in-law dishonest?

It's getting dark now, and Chu Wan hasn't come back to cook yet!

Chen Xiu'e was so angry that when she came out of the kitchen, her old face was elongated and dark as hell.

"If you're dishonest, I'll separate the family and drive her out!" Chen Xiu'e gritted her teeth and said, "A widow, after the separation, I'll see how she lives alone!"

The sharp voice passed through the window, followed the wind, and drifted past the ears of the Director of the Women's Federation outside the house and Chu Wan.

Jiang Qiuyue looked at her, sighed, thinking about how to comfort the poor little widow.

It's just that the director didn't expect that the little widow was not pitiful at all.

Chu Wan's eyes were shining brightly.

Just like when she first went to the countryside, her beautiful eyes seemed to be shining brightly like stars.

Split up?

Really!

Chapter 6

In fact, before that, Chu Wan didn't think that she could separate.

From childhood to her up, she has not been bold.

Because her parents have always been biased, she does not compete and follows her sister, which is so clever.

Later, she got married and became a widow on the wedding day.

Her mother's family said that she was already from her mother-in-law's family. Even if her husband was not alive, she had to be filial to her parents-in-law, and both the villagers and friends of the educated youth around her thought that it was reasonable for her to stay in her mother-in-law's house.

Over time, Chu Wan also thought so, thinking that life was like this.

Chen Xiu'e just said the word "section" casually, trying to scare her.

But Chu Wan suddenly realized that if she took the opportunity to break up, she would have a much easier life.

"Chu Zhiqing, don't feel bad." Jiang Qiuyue looked at Chu Wan, who was thoughtful, and walked to Nie's house on her shoulder. "I'll talk about it for you."

"Director Jiang, I'll go in by myself." Chu Wan paused and said, "If it's convenient, can you stand outside and listen to what they say?"

In the room, Old Nie was also a little annoyed.

What time is it? Chu Wan hasn't come back yet?

"What happened to her last night? Tell me about it carefully." Old man Nie said.

Chen Xiu'e was so angry that she told the whole thing.

In her opinion, Chu Wan was good before she went to her mother's house yesterday, but after she came back, she began to be abnormal. First, I stole two eggs and several spoonfuls of brown sugar, and then I didn't get up this morning. I lay in the room and was lazy. Before going out to work, I took a taco. At night, I was even more lawless. Unexpectedly, I didn't even make dinner. I don't know where to go wild.

"I said, these beautiful girls from the city can't stop. They are so beautiful, can they be willing to be widowed?" Chen Xiu'e snorted coldly.

Just as she said this, the empty door was gently pushed open.

Chu Wan was already picky, and her little face was snow-white. Even if it was dark outside the house, it was easy to be noticed at a glance.

Chen Xiu'e said strangely, "I, an educated youth who can't raise my family in the city, have become a widow, and I still have the genealogy of the city. Listen to me, separate, and divide tomorrow.

Old Nie has never made a sound. Chu Wan has been really ridiculous these two days. She has to beat well.

Chu Wan held back her joy, used the acting skills she learned from Wang Meiru, and was stunned, "Sort the family?"

Chen Xiu'e looked at her and felt more confident.

Even if Chu Wan has never complained, as a widow, she will always be despised in this village. It is impossible for her not to care.

Her mother's family is unreliable. Not only will she not pick her up, but she doesn't even come to the door to do anything for her.

Chu Wan must be afraid of separation. A beautiful woman with fine skin and tender meat lives alone, which makes people itchy. How dare she dare to live with so many inconveniences in life?

Yes, the little widow is weak and so timid that she dares not!

In this case, let's take this opportunity to scare her and see if she dares to be lazy in the future!

"Yes, it's separation. It must be divided!" Chen Xiu'e said, "It's not enough to kill my son. Do you still want to kill the old two of us? Unlucky!"

"Xiu'e!" Nie Dedong's face sank.

Chu Wan lowered her head and lowered her eyes, trembling in a trembling voice: "Can we not share?"

"You think beautifully! It must be divided!" Chen Xiu'e snorted, "Do you know you're afraid now?"

Chu Wan raised her face and nodded gently: "I'm afraid."

Old Nie raised his eyelids.

He felt that Chu Wan's tone was different from before, and he didn't seem to be really afraid.

Are you hungry and confused?

"It's useless to be afraid!" Chen Xiu'e said proudly, "Huihui and her brother will come back tomorrow. At that time, we will go directly to the village committee, handle the division, and call everyone to comment!"

After saying that, she turned back to the room and slammed the door with a "b" sound.

Old Nie doesn't want to be noisy at home, but his wife did the right thing today.

Now that Chu Wan has listened to the old lady's words, scared her for a while, and made her worried for a few days, won't the matter be solved?

Outside the house, Director Jiang listened to their conversation with a calm face.

Fortunately, Chu Wan asked her to stay, and she knew that the Nie family was so mean to learn from this little widow.

That's too much. How can you bully people so much!

......

Old Nie went to the stove to cook porridge. He squeeled his back and deliberately showed a difficult look. Even when he made a fire, he coughed a few times.

After cooking the porridge, he brought it to Chu Wan and said, "Your mother has a knife and a tofu heart. Don't blame her. As long as you don't mess with her these two days and make a no, it will be over.

Slap another sweet date, which is the usual trick of their Nie family.

Old Nie knows how easy his daughter-in-law is.

"Can things really pass?" Chu Wan stirred the porridge like water with a spoon.

Old Nie sighed: "I'm not sure. Your mother's temper is bad-tempered. She has been holding back the separation for a long time... Don't worry, Dad will persuade her, but you should also be more sensible."

Chu Wan said "um" and blew the porridge and sent it to her lips.

Old Nie pretended to be kind and gentle, sat next to his daughter-in-law and watched her eat for a long time, waiting for her to ask herself if she had eaten.

However, Chu Wan didn't ask anything.

She just finished the porridge quietly, then put the bowl and spoon on the table, and whispered, "I'm going to rest first."

Old man Nie:?

Chen Xiu'e, who was waiting for her daughter-in-law to knock on the door and called her to eat:?

They are still hungry. How can they eat a pot of porridge?

......

As soon as dinner was over, Grandma Mo took her grandson and granddaughter to the entrance of the village to enjoy the cool.

An Nian didn't want to go out, but his sister was soft and hard, and her eyes flashed. She begged her brother to go out with her, and then she reluctantly agreed.

At this moment, Grandma Mo took the two children and went straight to their destination.

She came with a mission.

She doesn't know much about Chu Wan, but Gu Xiao is worried. She wants to explore the situation!

After all, in the old lady's heart, this is the little widow that her godd son Gu Xiao like.

No, it's not good to call the little widow. You have to call a female comrade.

What is the character of this lesbian? You have to find out!

Grandma Mo walked fast. As she walked, she remembered that there were four short legs behind her, and stopped again.

Sui Sui was so tired that he was out of breath. He raised his chubby little face and said to An Nian, "Brother, Dad said that grandma was not in good health."

An Nian kept silent as in peacetime.

Dad said that grandma was in poor health and told them not to be naughty when they lived at grandma's house.

But now I see that grandma is more naughty than her age.

Grandma Mo stopped to wait for the two children and called them to run faster. When she was a child, Yu Guang swept to Jiang Qiuyue, who came with a blue face.

"Director Jiang!" Grandma Mo waved, "Why are you so angry!"

Grandma Mo is older than Chen Xiu'e, and she hasn't read much, but in contrast, she is simply too reasonable.

At that time, shortly after her son's death, the army sent someone to comfort her. The village cadres were worried that she was out of control of her mood. Unexpectedly, although the old lady's legs were weak and lost a lot of weight, she still held on and said that my son was a martyr. He died for the country, and it was glorious even if she sacrificed.

How high this awareness is.

Director Jiang was not happy, and he was worried that no one could say, "The little girl got married. Isn't it the person of their Nie family? How can you bully her like this!"

Grandma Mo's ears are going to stand up.

Nie's family?

Isn't the Nie family the mother-in-law of the little widow?

As soon as Director Jiang opened her mouth, she did not stop, with a righteous indignation, but slowly, she found that something was wrong.

Why does Grandma Mo seem to be very interested?

What a gossip!

The breeze blew at night, and Grandma Mo was very interested in eating melons.

In the face of this loyal audience, Director Jiang seemed to have met a bosom friend, and he couldn't stop after opening the chattel.

In the moonlight, they chatted vigorously and their expressions were extremely rich. Neither of them noticed that a round ball kicked his short legs and quietly ran away.

Or did An Nian find that his sister began to be naughty again and turned to follow her.

The figures of the brother and sister gradually disappeared into the night.

......

The Nie family was waiting, waiting for the little widow to bow her head and admit her mistake.

Similarly, Chu Wan is also waiting. She is waiting for tomorrow's separation.

After awakening, Chu Wan wanted to break off all contact with the Nie family, but she also knew that she could not use tough means to leave here.

If she goes back to the city, she naturally doesn't need to care about the villagers' thoughts, but the problem is that she lives in Ningyu Village and will not get a place to return to the city for a while.

If you want to live a more comfortable life, you have to choose a round-tour.

Her grievances can't be suffered in vain.

Everyone has to know that she is not at fault.

Chu Wan doesn't want to live a confused life anymore.

It's just that she's not used to it. Every step she takes is groping, deep and shallow.

The five bucket cabinets on the side of the kang were specially found by the carpenter for her marriage with Nie Qin at that time, and there was a suitcase on the top.

Chu Wan wants to pack up her things, and she can leave directly when she separates tomorrow to avoid unnecessary trouble.

It's just that the top of the chest of drawers is too high.

She walked around the room and finally looked at the desk in the room.

The table was not heavy. Chu Wan dragged it hard, moved it to the edge of the chest of drawers, and then put the small wooden bench on it.

Before climbing up, she pressed the small bench with her hand to make sure it was strong enough.

Chu Wan is slender and light. When climbing high, her legs are a little soft, but they are still stable.

She raised her arms and pushed hard to reach the box on the chest of drawers.

If you can't reach it once, try again.

Twice, three times...

Finally, her hand touched the edge of the suitcase.

Yu Guang swept, and the little face of the year's pink and jade was stuck to the window of her room.

The little one was in a hurry. He waved his chubby little hand and shouted milkyly, "I will fall down!"

Chu Wan looked at her blankly.

I've never seen this child before. Whose child is it?

Chapter 7

"Be careful!"

"It hurts to fall!"

"Huhu-huhu-"

Xiaotuanzi, with his fleshy cheek against the window, was so enthusiastic, and with his mouth puffed out, he gave Chu Wan Huhu from the air.

Chu Wan was in a daze, where did this kid come from?

The next second, she saw a boy standing next to the little girl.

The boy was older than her, with a stinky face, his mouth was pursed and he was pulling her away.

But the little girl was disobedient, and waved her chubby hand: "Sister, come down!"

Chu Wan was amused, and retracted her hand that was about to reach the suitcase, supported the edge of the bench with both hands, and slowly moved her weight down .

"Go home." An Nian said.

Sui Sui shook her head like a rattle, stood on tiptoes, poked her head and looked into the window.

Seeing Chu Wan climb down the small bench and table carefully, her little heart almost jumped out of her throat.

Until, Chu Wan finally opened the door gently and walked out from the small courtyard of the house.

Sui Sui blinked and blinked, finally feeling a little embarrassed, and hid behind his brother.

Chu Wan looked at the two strange children.

The boy has a short hedgehog head, a small face, a little dark, and a thin face.

The girl wore two crooked braids, and her almond eyes were as big as black grapes.

Where did they come from?

She knelt down and waved at them.

An Nian's eyes were wary, and he pulled his sister to prevent her from coming forward.

But Sui Sui has already moved his short legs and slowly stepped forward.

"Why do you have to climb high?"

"Because I want to move, but the small box is too high and I can't take it down." "

Is there no adult in your family?"

"I am an adult."

Sui Sui scratched his head embarrassingly .

Yes.

"Are you lost? I can take you home." Chu Wan said.

"No." An Nian stopped him.

Sui Sui's chubby little hand was already stuffed into Chu Wan's palm.

An Nian followed with a dark face, thinking that if something went wrong, he would take his sister and run away immediately.

It was getting late, and the people enjoying the shade at the entrance of the village had already gone back to rest, and the huge Ningyu Village became very quiet.

"Where is your home?" Chu Wan asked softly.

Sui Sui was dumbfounded, he looked around, and then at his brother.

Neither child could speak.

Chu Wan was even more sure that they were children from the city: "Then what's your mother's name? I'll ask the village chief and grandpa for you." "

We don't have a mother!" Sui Sui said.

Chu Wan was taken aback for a moment, but she didn't see any sadness in the child's eyes.

The milky Xiaotuanzi may not understand the meaning of the words "no mother" at all.

An Nian lowered his head.

After a long time, he pointed in one direction and choked out a few words: "There is a small pond next to Dad's house." "

Okay, then go find your dad." Chu Wan led them to the direction pointed by An Nian .

Along the way, Sui Sui began to introduce his father.

"My dad's so tall, so tall, like -- as tall as a cloud."

"Dad is the best for Suisui, but he is so busy..."

"My dad is amazing, he defeated many enemies on the battlefield!"

Chu Wan smiled, rubbing her little head: "Your dad is A soldier who fought?"

"Yes!" Sui Sui nodded vigorously, "Father is the battalion commander!"

Chu Wan suddenly had an ominous premonition.

"What's his name?"

Sui Sui was stumped.

She tilted her head and thought for a long time before she said softly, "Battle Commander Gu?"

Chu Wan:?

At this moment, An Nian had brought them to her father's house.

Looking up and seeing Chu Wan in this familiar position, she fell silent for an instant.

The door was closed tightly, An Nian knocked hard, but no one came to open it.

"Father is not at home." An Nian pushed the door, it was locked, "I know there is a window there, let's climb in."

Chu Wan said rejection all over her face.

She doesn't want it!

...

When Grandma Mo found Gu Xiao, her voice was trembling. She was afraid that An Nian and Sui Sui would run to the creek like a child from a neighboring village a few years ago and have an accident.

Gu Xiao immediately asked Grandma Mo to go home and wait for the child, while he went around the village to look for it.

He rarely went back to the village to visit his relatives these years, but he grew up in Ningyu Village as a child and knew all the winding paths.

He walked fast, and his sharp eyes swept in all directions, not missing any corners.

If the child still cannot be found, the village cadres should call the villagers to help find the child together.

Gu Xiao and An Nian and Sui Sui's father are good friends who grew up together.

When he was a child, Ji Hongguang took him to run all over the mountains, picking out bird eggs, fighting crickets, flying in water...

They were like brothers, and they made the same vow to protect their family and country when they grew up.

Ji Hongguang is seven years older than Gu Xiao, so when Gu Xiao reported to the army, Ji Hongguang was already a young company commander.

Although his parents were both military officers, it was Ji Hongguang who really encouraged Gu Xiao and aroused his morale.

But who knows that two years ago, on the day Gu Xiao made his military exploits, news of Ji Hongguang's sacrifice came from the front line.

The army soldier brought back the belongings of Company Commander Ji.

The belongings were bombed so hard to distinguish, but Gu Xiao still believed that his comrades were still alive.

Later, he returned to the village, picked up the two children, and decided to raise them up.

An Nian and Sui Sui are poor children, after several years of getting along, Gu Xiao has already regarded them as his responsibility.

Children must not have any accidents.

This was the first time that Gu Xiao felt flustered.

...

The home of Battalion Commander Gu brings unpleasant and embarrassing memories to Chu Wan.

How much she wanted to run away, but from the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the expressions of the two little guys.

Suisui's expression was ignorant and puzzled, as if she was asking, why didn't my sister climb the window?

And An Nian's face was even more exciting, his eyes full of resistance were full of hostility, as if to say, I know you are a villain, so you dare not climb the window, right?

Chu Wan: ...

Can I climb through this window casually?

She would rather sit on the sidelines and wait for the rabbit!

"Battle Commander Gu may have gone out, let's wait for him here." Chu Wan said.

"Ah-" Suisui suddenly realized, "Dad must be going to grandma's house."

Chu Wan: ...

Son, you still have a grandma, why didn't you tell me earlier?

She suddenly remembered the day when she met Commander Gu at the end of the village, and asked, "Does your grandma live at the end of the village?" Anian

continued to ask cautiously, "How do you know?"

Completely relieved now.

As long as the child is sent to their grandma's house, she can leave without meeting the fierce battalion commander Gu.

She doesn't face him.

Chu Wan walked briskly, leading Sui Sui and An Nian to the end of the village.

At this time, Gu Xiao heard footsteps.

He stopped, turned around and walked in the direction of the sound of footsteps.

It was a figure of one big and two small.

Chu Wan held Suisui with one hand, and the two of them walked and talked, smiling with crooked eyebrows.

She seemed to be listening to Sui Sui reciting nursery rhymes, and as soon as Sui Sui finished saying a sentence in a small milk voice, she followed suit.

An Nian's two little hands were behind her back, walking like a little adult, but she poked her head from time to time, wanting to hear how she was doing...

Gu Xiao was startled for a moment, then walked towards them .

His strides were huge, and his solemn face gradually stretched from a distance.

"Small ball, kick it with your feet..."

"Malan Blossom 21..."

Chu Wan teased Sui Sui: "Little ball, kick it with your foot... Malan Blossom 31..." "

It's 21!"

"Why not thirty-one?"

"Sui Sui, An Nian." Suddenly, a deep magnetic voice sounded.

Following the voice, Chu Wan saw the tall figure of Battalion Commander Gu under the moonlight.

Her steps stopped.

"Sister Chu Wan, this is our father!" Sui Sui happily ran towards Gu Xiao.

Gu Xiao leaned over slightly, and hugged Suisui with one hand.

Xiaotuanzi sat on his father's strong arm, with her little hands wrapped around his neck.

"Thank you for helping me bring the child back." Gu Xiao said.

As soon as he finished speaking, he found that Chu Wan's relaxed expression when facing the children had long since disappeared without a trace.

Gu Xiao adjusted the corners of his mouth.

Is he fierce?

"You're welcome." Chu Wan's voice was muffled, like a mosquito bite.

Gu Xiao: ...

As expected, he is too fierce.

An Nian stood aside, secretly observing his father and this strange sister.

While she doesn't seem like a bad person, who knows?

Chu Wan felt that a hole was about to be stared at the back of her head, she turned around, and saw An Nian's aggressive little face.

This pair of father and son is not easy to get along with.

She doesn't want to be here anymore.

Hurry up and go back to sleep, tomorrow I have to wake up and break up.

Chu Wan knelt down and said to Sui Sui: "I'm leaving." "

Goodbye." Sui Sui waved her little hand obediently, and asked again, "Can we make friends?" "

Yes, what's your name? "

My name is-"

"Sui Sui, don't tell her!" The little boy walked over immediately and glared at Chu Wan with hostility.

Gu Xiao:?

Chu Wan: ...

pretending not to know his sister's name is Suisui.

Chapter 8

Grandma Mo had been standing by the window waiting, and when she spotted the children, she hurried out.

Seeing that the two children were unharmed, her heart hanging in her throat fell back.

The old lady "ouch" for a long time, and hugged An Nian and Suisui into her arms.

An Nian was awkward, with a stern face, unwilling to be hugged, and stood aside with his neck stuck.

Knowing that grandma treats her well, Sui Sui hugged her soft body tightly, stretched out her small head, and panted with her mouth open.

"It's all because grandma is bad. She didn't like you. If something happens to you two, grandma will explain to your father!"

Chu Wan looked at the children, and also at Grandma Mo's feeling of regaining her lost life, with a smile in her eyes.

Although the children no longer have a mother, they are equally happy to have a father and grandma who really love them.

Under the moonlight, Chu Wan's skin was fair and clear, and her eyes were bright. She stood quietly on the spot, and when she looked at the grandparents and grandchildren, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, her smile was calm and gentle.

Just at this time, she raised her eyes and accidentally met Gu Xiao's gaze.

Chu Wan's originally happy expression suddenly subsided, she pursed her lips, and quietly avoided his gaze.

There was a sudden sound at the cowshed, maybe someone was passing by.

"I'll go back first."

After Chu Wan spoke for a long time, no one responded. Out of politeness, she raised her head and looked at Gu Xiao again.

The other side looked calm, just nodded slightly, but for some reason, he was already a little scary just standing like this.

Fortunately, the next moment, he thanked him again, and his aura was not so fierce.

...

After returning to the house, Grandma Mo asked the two children to wash up first.

Annian and Suisui have good hygiene habits. It takes a long time to wash before going to bed every day. The little feet have to be washed in the basin, and the little teeth have to be brushed twice a day. The cloth used for washing the face is not as good as wiping the feet. the same.

Grandma Mo said that they were very particular, but they also prepared everything the children needed.

"Just now I heard from Suisui that Comrade Chu sent them back." Grandma Mo quietly observed Gu Xiao's reaction.

Gu Xiao remembered the scene just now.

Everyone said that Sui Sui was squeamish, looked down on anyone, and cried and made noise when he was unhappy. However, when the delicate Xiaotuanzi saw Chu Wan for the first time, he held her hand reluctantly to let go.

Although An Nian looked shrewd, he was actually just a child. He said his sister's name foolishly, and he was annoyed and annoyed as soon as he finished speaking.

And the Chu Wan in front of them was different from what he saw the previous two times.

She's not a wary doormat and a widow.

She can laugh, not to say that she is very happy, but the pear dimples when the corners of her mouth are raised are sweet and gentle.

"Yes." Gu Xiao said, "Sui Sui was making trouble, and ran to her door."

At this time, Sui Sui, who ran back with bare feet, immediately defended: "It's not a trick, my sister almost fell off the high stool Got down!"

"Fell down?" Gu Xiao asked.

Suisui nodded vigorously: "My sister wants to carry a small box, but there is no one at home to help, so she climbs so high!" "

Why does she need to carry a small box?"

"My sister is moving!"

Gu Xiao listened to the child.

She is going to move, where will she move?

Grandma Mo sighed: "It's not moving! I heard from Director Jiang just now that Comrade Chu is really pitiful. It's just that her mother-in-law wanted to separate when she didn't have time to go back to cook for a day. Basically, mothers-in-law She doesn't want to separate, Chen Xiu'e dares to say that, because she sees Comrade Chu as easy to bully!"

Gu Xiao's expression became serious: "It's not moving, she's going to be kicked out?" "

That's right! It's been ten years, but I didn't expect them to be so unkind," she said.

"Comrade Chu is definitely not willing to separate the family, and the Nie family is looking at this point, so they have changed their ways to train people."

Gu Xiao's eyes darkened.

"Gu Xiao, tell auntie the truth." Grandma Mo asked, "Why do you care so much about Comrade Chu?"

...

When she woke up the next morning, Chen Xiu'e stretched comfortably and woke up. The wife next to him: "Get up and have breakfast."

The old man Nie just woke up, and his voice was muffled: "Chu Wan made breakfast?"

Chen Xiu'e smiled cheerfully: "Does she dare not do it? Are you afraid of breaking up?"

Thinking of yesterday At night, Chu Wan was trembling with fright, and asked her in a low voice if she could ignore the expression of separation, and she relieved her anger.

Presumably the little widow must have cried and wet her pillow at night, woke up early in the morning to work, and never dared to be dishonest.

Chen Xiu'e was trying to scare Chu Wan, but she didn't even want to break up the family.

There is a laborer in the family who eats less and works more, why should she separate the family, is she stupid?

Chen Xiu'e was in a happy mood, got down from the kang, hummed a little tune and went to open the door.

I thought that the Eight Immortals' table was already filled with steaming breakfast, but who knew, there was nothing!

Not even cool white!

The little widow is promising, but she can withstand the scares so much?

Chen Xiu'e knocked on Chu Wan's door with a "bang bang", and she didn't know how long she had to wait before she came out sleepily.

"You did it on purpose?" Chen Xiu'e scolded.

Chu Wan rubbed her eyes, as if she suddenly came to her senses: "Have the eldest sister and younger brother come back?"

Chen Xiu'e was taken aback: "What?" Chu Wan immediately

begged: "When they come back, can we not separate? I don't want to Go to the village committee..."

Chen Xiu'e really didn't plan to go to the village committee.

What a shame.

But the momentum cannot be lost.

She tugged on Chu Wan's arm: "How can we not separate the family, we must! Before Huihui and the others come back, let's go!"

Chen Xiu'e thought that Chu Wan would cry and say that she was wrong, so she dragged her out Walk.

But who knew, along the way, the little widow was half-hearted, and finally stood outside the village committee.

What can I do?

...

Ten minutes later, the commune members who were going to the brigade by the stream to collect labor tools all ran to the village committee.

I heard that the old couple of the Nie family were arguing to separate the family and drive the little widow out!

With such a big event, why not join in the fun?

The big guys rushed all the way to the village committee.

These days, widows are in a difficult situation, especially a delicate little widow like Chu Wan, who must have a lot of gossip. There is no man in the family, how can I live alone?

Everyone concluded that Chu Wan would definitely beg hard and refuse to leave her husband's house.

In the crowd, Aunt Fat murmured to Aunt Liu beside her: "Why are you suddenly arguing about breaking up? Isn't it good?

" Go." Aunt Liu said.

Aunt Fat murmured: "I don't think she's worried at all... going to and from work every day, washing and cooking at home, isn't it the same as when we were young?"

Aunt Liu narrowed her eyes: "You like it so much ?" She will be your daughter-in-law, would you like to?"

The fat aunt was dumbfounded.

Well, why are you attacking her?

"I think the little widow does her duty, but it's your own son who stares at others all day long. But your son has pockmarked face, she definitely doesn't want to!" Aunt Liu's old face turned green, and the matchmaker wanted to tell his son that

day The object, who would have thought that people would say that they only want someone like Chu Wan.

Until now, she still remembers how embarrassing she was when the matchmaker brought this back!

"Damn! My son doesn't like her!"

Aunt Liu walked towards the village committee with a stern face.

But before they arrived, they heard Chen Xiu'e's loud voice.

"Today I insist on asking you village cadres to judge our family!" "

As soon as she passed the door, she killed my son and ate and drank mine at home. I am suffering, and I can't even tell if I am suffering!" "

We The old couple were kind-hearted, and seeing that she was a widow with no one to rely on, they agreed to let her live in. But who knew, she actually gave me the score of the city people now!" "I can't live on

anymore , Separate the family, we must separate the family!"

Chen Xiu'e was the most snarky, and now she sat down on the ground, crying loudly.

The village cadres all found it annoying and wanted to let her into the office to talk about it. However, she cocked her neck and said, "No way

!

" I wanted Chen Xiu'e to accept her as soon as she was good, but my wife didn't even look at me.

"Sure!" she said.

Jiang Qiuyue, director of the Women's Federation standing next to Village Chief Li, was so angry that she was about to smoke.

If it weren't for Chu Wan who couldn't leave the Nie family, she really wanted to stand up and make decisions for this child!

"Okay." Village head Li glared at Chen Xiu'e, then turned to look at Chu Wan, "Comrade Chu Wan, are you willing to separate?" "

I-" Chu Wan pursed her lips.

Chen Xiu'e rolled on the ground and started to wink at old man Nie.

Should you know that you are afraid by now?

Knowing that she was afraid, she cried and begged them, and then asked the village cadres to criticize her and teach her a lesson!

Old man Nie cleared his throat: "It's fine if you know you're wrong, and you-" "

Okay, let's split up." Chu Wan said softly.

Old man Nie and Chen Xiu'e were dumbfounded.

The surrounding villagers were also dumbfounded.

"Village Chief Li, I agree to split the family." Chu Wan repeated calmly.

Chen Xiu'e suddenly sat up from the ground with a shocked expression on her face, unable to recover for a while.

When Jiang Qiuyue heard it, her eyes lit up with a "shua".

Chu Zhiqing can do it!

"Village Chief Li, I'm an educated youth. Since my in-laws want to separate the family, where will the village committee arrange for me to live after the separation?" Chu Wan asked.

At this time, no one noticed that Battalion Commander Gu was also standing in the crowd.

He is here on purpose.

Gu Xiao didn't know what was wrong with him, he just didn't want to see this young educated youth being bullied.

Even, even if she got into a whole body of gossip, she was willing to stand up for her.

But who would have thought that she would stand up by herself.

When he heard Chu Wan say these words, Gu Xiao's eyes were stained with a slight smile.

Who said the little widow was weak and deceitful? Who said she would be turned away?

It was intentional that she accompanied her in-laws to make a fuss.

Deliberately not leaving room for them.

If Chu Wan proposed to divide the family, it would be impossible for the Nie family to allocate a house for her to live in.

But now, they are the ones who unreasonably asked for a family separation. As an educated youth, she should be arranged by the village committee.

Chu Wan is weak on the surface, but she is smart and tough.

In this way, she protected herself, and by the way, put her in-laws together.

It was he who underestimated her before.

"As for where to live..." Village Chief Li hesitated for a moment, "The educated youth spots are already full. Let me think about where you live better. Don't worry, the village committee will take care of it."... On the other hand,

Sui

Sui Following An Nian, he picked up pebbles by the stream to throw them away.

Seeing that the little sister is cute, the children coming and going around wanted to come over to play, but they took another look at An Nian and flinched again.

An Nian has always kept a straight face, showing a fierce expression like Gu's father usually does.

"Brother, what does Shangxin mean?" Sui Sui asked curiously.

"I just like it." An Nian said.

Sui tilted his head.

Yesterday, grandma asked Dad why he cared about the sister who sent them home, but Dad didn't say anything, he just told them to rest early and go back.

It turns out that "Shangxin" means liking!

"Ah-" Sui Sui suddenly realized, and rubbed chubby hands, "Is Dad getting married?"

An Nian glanced at his sister with the expression of looking at a little idiot.

A child who is less than four years old really doesn't understand anything.

Can you eat indiscriminately, can you talk indiscriminately?

Chapter 9

When Wang Meiru heard the news that the Nie family was going to split up, she didn't take it seriously at first.

She has memories of her previous life, so how could she not know that old man Nie and Chen Xiu'e are just like human beings, and they won't let her suffer at all. The two of them just wanted to take this opportunity to beat Chu Wan well and make her behave.

Wang Meiru was in a very calm mood. She just hugged her books and followed the other educated youths politely, "dropping in" to the gate of the village committee to take a look, but who knew, she was extremely shocked by this look.

"Break up? You are promising, want to split up?" Chen Xiu'e's voice suddenly became too high.

Chu Wan walked up to Chen Xiu'e and said, "You are the ones who said you want to separate."

Chen Xiu'e opened her mouth and remained silent for a while.

She and her wife have a shame, now how can they say that they are just scaring people casually?

Chu Wan said again: "In the past two days, I have had a fever, and I really don't have the energy to cook."

Chu Wan's voice was very gentle, and she said this innocently from the perspective of a weak person.

At this moment, the villagers who didn't know why the old couple of the Nie family were arguing to separate the family all understood.

Just because the daughter-in-law has a fever and can't cook, you have to kick her out?

Chen Xiu'e blushed: "You said that a fever is a fever?"

How energetic she was when she raised the bar, who would believe that she had a fever?

"I can prove that Comrade Chu is unwell." Jiang Qiuyue stood up, "When I saw her return to the village the day before yesterday, her complexion was much uglier than usual. I, who doesn't have much contact with her, can see that she has a fever. Now, as her in-laws' family, can't you see it?"

Chu Wan came back from her mother's house on the day she had a high fever and had a dream.

Along the way, she met many villagers. Some people said that she looked weak and would fall down when the wind blew, and that her appearance was too unlucky...

Now, those who saw her at that time all spoke out.

"Speaking of which, I also felt that Widow Chu was different that day." "

It seemed that her lips were pale and her face was unnaturally red." "

Educated youth Chu usually greets us educated youths when they pass by the educated youth spot, but not that day, for sure It's because she's not feeling well."

It was only then that Gu Xiao realized that her weakness and helplessness on the day of "climbing the bed" was due to physical discomfort.

But even then, she still tried her best and left his house step by step.

Chu Wan is not careless, but her mind is used to protect herself.

"Chu Wan has married into your family for a year. In my opinion, there is nothing I can do to you. Last night, I was at your door and heard you say that she stole eggs and brown sugar. Listen, everyone." Listen, in the whole family, only Chu Wan earns work points, so why does she eat an egg?"

"It's two eggs!" Chen Xiu'e said.

"Shut up!" Old man Nie's face was ashen, "Isn't that embarrassing enough?"

Chen Xiu'e almost bit her own tongue, and stared at Chu Wan bitterly.

The expressions of the villagers became subtle, and they made two "tsk tsk".

Chu Wan knew that the villagers didn't treat her very well by saying these fair words, they were just vulnerable to incitement.

The only ones who can really make decisions for her are the director of the Women's Federation and other village cadres.

"Also, you said that Chu Zhiqing came home too late and didn't cook dinner. She was lazy. But, did you listen to her explanation? She should have left work long ago. I asked her to come to the village office to help with things, so I delayed her Time, we will definitely give her work points."

"Comrade Chu is unwell, but he still insists on coming to work. Such spirit and perseverance are worth encouraging. On the other hand, you don't even have such a little understanding and tolerance!"

Old man Nie has always been respected for most of his life, and he has never tried to be as embarrassed as he is now.

After he fell ill, Party Secretary Sun, who took over his position as village Party secretary, stood up and said, "Comrade Nie, you used to be a village cadre yourself, but now that you've retired, you don't even have this awareness?" Until this point

, Chen Xiu'e realized the seriousness of the whole matter.

She panicked and said, "These are family matters, don't bother the village committee, let's go back by ourselves-" "Village

Chief Li." Chu Wan interrupted her, looking at Village Chief Li, "You can invite the village cadres Draw up a separation letter for me?"

"No problem." Village Chief Li said.

Old Man Nie and Chen Xiu'e were stunned.

Splitting up...

they are really going to split up, this is not their original intention!

Old man Nie was almost out of breath.

The eldest in the family is married, the second has passed away, and the third is still studying. As for himself, he is no longer a village cadre, and there is no one in the family who goes to work to earn work points. Where will he get food in the future?

As for Chen Xiu'e, she was thinking of herself for the time being.

It is said that a bitter daughter-in-law becomes a mother-in-law, and she finally becomes a mother-in-law, but the daughter-in-law ran away, how can she enjoy the happiness?

At this moment, no one regretted it more than the couple of the Nie family.

How did you get to this step?

At first, they just wanted to hit the little widow, but in the end, in a daze, she was actually separated... The

eldest

daughter of the Nie family, Nie Huihui, stood on the bus with an ugly expression on her face.

Ningyu Village is too far away, and every time she goes back to her natal home, she has to spend a lot of time.

She is already married. She is from the city. She still has a serious job in a state-run hotel. What a wonderful life, why should she be delayed by her natal family?

The car was almost at the stop, and Nie Huihui was about to get off, but when she got up, she was accidentally rubbed by a labor tool in the hands of an old farmer next to her.

Her face turned dark all of a sudden: "This is my Zhenliang shirt! Can you afford it if it gets dirty?" The

old farmer is not easy to bully, "Spit": "Why are you pretending to be a city person! Your clothes are expensive , If you're so reluctant, don't wear it, take it off and hold it!"

Everyone in the car laughed out loud.

Nie Huihui's complexion changed suddenly, and she got out of the car angrily.

The bus didn't stop right at the gate of Ningyu Village, and it was a long way to go back.

In such a hot weather, she became more and more irritable. When she got home, she picked up the cold water on the table and took a big gulp with an angry face.

"Where's your brother?" Chen Xiu'e asked.

"As soon as I got home, I just asked about my son." Nie Huihui snorted and said, "Summer vacation is coming soon, and he won't come back today. Also, the school has to pay the tuition for the holiday. Prepare yourself." Chen Xiu'e's eyelids twitched

: "We don't have any money!"

Old man Nie cleared his throat, "Huihui, why don't you--"

"I don't have any money either." Maternal family, if the in-laws find out, do you still want to make me feel better?"

After she finished speaking, she saw a suitcase on the floor in Chu Wan's room from the corner of her eye.

What are you doing with your suitcase out?

Nie Huihui put down the enamel jar and walked inside.

The suitcase was open, and there were several beautiful clothes, which Chu Wan presumably brought from her natal home in the past.

Nie Huihui's eyes lit up, she knelt down to look, picked up two clothes casually, and said casually, "I'll wear these two." "

No." Chu Wan continued to fold the clothes without even raising her head.

"Anyway, you don't wear it." Nie Huihui said, "If you dress fancy, you will cause trouble and make your parents follow you and listen to gossip." Outside the house, old man

Nie and Chen Xiu'e hesitated to speak.

Chu Wan had already packed her luggage, and packed all her belongings according to the separation letter drawn up by the village committee.

She couldn't carry so much by herself, but Director Jiang was worried, and he agreed to call a few educated youths to come over and help.

Just as Chu Wan put away her luggage, Director Jiang's voice came from outside the house.

"Comrade Chu, here we come!"

Chu Wan trotted out quickly.

First the suitcases, then the pots and pans, and finally the food, dragged out one by one.

A few educated youths packed the things together.

Director Jiang took the separation letter, checked the items, entered the room and asked old man Nie: "Does your Nie family have any objections?" Old man Nie said with a

dark face, "No."

Something." Director Jiang said, "Educated Youth Chu, let's go."

"Wait a minute, Director Jiang, I have to go get something."

Chen Xiu'e wanted to make trouble, but was stopped by Old Man Nie.

Because he said yesterday that the separation was proposed by them themselves, and now that the family is separated, and they disagree, they will not only be laughed at by the villagers, but even criticized by the village cadres.

Regarding this separation, the village committee handled it fairly, and no one took advantage or suffered a disadvantage, but if the trouble continued, it would be uncertain.

The village cadres are not as unreasonable as the villagers, they will side with the little widow.

Old man Nie suddenly felt that his family suffered from being dumb.

Seeing that Chu Wan left Nie's house accompanied by Director Jiang, and even took so many things with her, Nie Huihui was completely dumbfounded.

What's going on?

Seeing Chu Wan go back to the house for the last time and take away a stack of books, Nie Huihui couldn't sit still anymore, and ran up to stop her: "What are you doing?" "Didn't your parents say we are separated?

" ?" Chu Wan asked.

Nie Huihui's eyes widened all of a sudden.

How can we split up!

After the separation, what will happen to his parents' food? Could it be that they will depend on her to support them in the future?

"And my eldest sister took so many clothes from me, so I have to return them." Chu Wan said.

Nie Huihui was taken aback.

"Otherwise, I will tell the leaders of your unit."

Director Jiang looked relieved.

Chu Wan didn't fight or snatch, and only took back what belonged to her, which was absolutely right.

"I, I didn't say I wouldn't pay it back!" Nie Huihui blushed.

For such a big matter, the villagers gathered together to join in the fun, and when they heard about it, their eyes lit up.

"I said why the clothes of the eldest daughter of the Nie family are so beautiful. I thought it was because of a good workplace and a good marriage. I didn't expect that these clothes belonged to the little widow!

" Yes, today Huihui is wearing a denim shirt, which was also worn by Widow Chu when she first went to the countryside. There is no comparison between people. Huihui's clothes are all yellow and wrinkled. Decent..."

Nie Huihui's ears turned red.

She thinks very highly of herself, and loves face just like old man Nie, how can she bear being scolded by people like this.

"Director Jiang, let's go." Chu Wan said.

The Nie family members all set their eyes on her, watching the little widow step out of the Nie family's door without looking back.

She will never come back.

...

"Our village cadres discussed it and decided to let you live in the thatched cottage at the entrance of the village. If the conditions are not good, you can make do with it. If there are educated youths who return to the city and there are vacant beds, we will let you come back to live." Director Jiang explain.

Walking all the way to the entrance of the village, the thatched cottage looked empty.

But Chu Wan's heart is very satisfied.

"It's inconvenient for a lesbian to live alone. If you have any difficulties, remember to come to me." Director Jiang held back when he said this. Bringing it up will only scare Chu Wan.

It's just that Director Jiang didn't expect that Chu Wan wasn't afraid at all.

The little widow was looking forward to her first night alone in the thatched cottage.

It's as if life is about to start all over again from here!

Chapter 10

After discussing with the village cadres, Chu Wan was asked to temporarily stay in the second thatched cottage at the entrance of the village.

The thatched cottage is old and broken, hot in summer and cold in winter, and leaks when it rains, but life is made by people, Chu Wan is not afraid at all.

Director Jiang asked the educated youths to put away all the luggage that Chu Wan brought.

But Chu Wan is really embarrassed to bother everyone anymore, and she doesn't want to ask for help for the rest of the work.

"You all go back." After Wang Meiru finished speaking, she sent the educated youths out one by one.

When Wang Meiru came to work, she smiled brighter than flowers, and said a lot of pleasantries while walking.

It's just that the educated youths were puzzled. If I remember correctly, it was Director Jiang who called them here. Why did she suddenly become half of their leader?

In the room, Director Jiang was worried about Chu Wan, and explained a few more words before remembering that the office still had to be busy.

Chu Wan sent her out, and when she turned around, Wang Meiru also came up to her.

"Why haven't you left yet?"

"I want to stay and help you, we are the best sisters."

When everyone had left, Wang Meiru found a bench and sat down: "Wanwan, how do you say that the separation is just a matter of time?" The family was divided so finely that even the small bench made by the carpenter when they got married was taken away?" "

It was originally mine, so I can't take it?" Chu Wan asked seriously.

Wang Meiru froze for a moment.

In the previous life, she and Chu Wan were educated youths who went to the countryside together. They were each other's best friends, but in the second year of going to the countryside, Chu Wan got the quota to return to the city.

Seeing that there was no hope of returning to the city, Wang Meiru chose to marry an educated youth from the same village. Only after marriage did she find out that the other party was lazy, clever, self-important, and full of gossip... In her previous life, Wang Meiru regretted it until the moment she died

.

Unexpectedly, when she opened her eyes again, she was reborn!

After rebirth, Wang Meiru no longer flirted with her husband Fu Xianguang in her previous life, but became a labor activist. She imitated Chu Wan's weak but principled temperament, and wanted to be as likable as her, but Chu Wan's limelight still surpassed her. Fortunately, this time, even the heavens were helping her. Somehow, Chu Wan's father reunited with his old comrade-in-arms and made a marriage proposal.

After Chu Wan became a widow, she intentionally or unintentionally created rumors all over the sky. Seeing that Chu Wan would no longer be able to follow the old path of her life, she never expected that her development was not as good as she expected.

Wang Meiru pretended to be inadvertently probing: "Wanwan, aren't you usually not afraid of losing money? Why did you suddenly become so tough this time..." "

This loss is for you, do you want to eat it?" Chu Wan raised her eyes, wondering ask.

Wang Meiru: ...

Chu Wan is teasing her, did she get it wrong?

How could the little widow have such a temper!

Chu Wan looked at Wang Meiru's dazed look, and picked up the rag: "Go and help me carry the bucket of water."

While speaking, Wang Meiru's hand was stuffed with the handle of the bucket.

She was not convinced, why, Chu Wan waited comfortably when she went to fetch water by herself!

Although she thought so in her heart, Wang Meiru went to fetch water honestly.

Who made her propose to stay and help?

"No problem." Wang Meiru gave a dry laugh with the corners of her mouth pulled, and turned to fetch water.

How dirty this room is, I have found so many jobs for myself for no reason!

...

After awakening, the last thing Chu Wan wanted was to treat herself badly. Now that Wang Meiru is willing to stay and clean, of course she would not refuse.

It was only when it was getting dark that the house was barely refreshed. After cleaning it, Chu Wan found that there was nothing wrong with the thatched house, but it was a bit old.

Anyway, from now on, she can live alone, which is a great thing.

Wang Meiru was panting with exhaustion, and turned her head to see that Chu Wan was admiring her new house with satisfaction, her eyes were as clear as water, and a pair of dimples appeared at the corners of her mouth.

She was suddenly unhappy.

After being honed by her in-laws for a whole year, why is Chu Wan still so good-looking?

"Is there anything else to do?" Wang Meiru muffled.

"Just spread out the sheets." Chu Wan said.

However, when Wang Meiru stepped forward to pull the sheet, she was blocked.

"No." Chu Wan said, "I'll do it myself."

Wang Meiru:?

What a marvelous sheet, no one is allowed to touch it with hands!

Wang Meiru sat on the small bench with a dark face, neither walking nor not leaving.

Suddenly, she raised her eyes and saw someone coming in from the entrance of the village.

It's Battalion Commander Gu and his two children!

Wang Meiru's eyes lit up, and she walked outside.

She deliberately wanted to pretend to meet by chance.

That day, she made a familiar face in front of Battalion Commander Gu, and now she gets close to each other, coming and going, won't the relationship be cultivated?

In this day and age, free love is not as important as later generations. As long as you can see Battalion Commander Gu on these days of family visits, he will report to the army every minute to pick her up to the military region!

As for the two children-

In her previous life, when she was in her forties, she heard villagers talk about the situation of the two children of the officer's family. I heard that An Nian had a violent temper and got into a fight, causing people to be disabled, so he went to jail. And Sui Sui, this is a delicate and willful little girl, along the way, everything goes wrong.

Wang Meiru hates children, and she doesn't want to be a stepmother, but if the other party is Commander Gu, she can still accept it...

Thinking of this, she smiled: "Commander Gu!"

"Who is that?"

Wang Meiru: ...

She said awkwardly : "We met at the gate of the small courtyard that day, have you forgotten?"

"Are you the group of villagers who spread rumors?" Gu Xiao looked disgusted.

"No, no!" Wang Meiru said quickly, "I'm the widow's friend, and I spoke for her."

"Chu Wan's friend?"

Wang Meiru:? ? ?

How did he remember Chu Wan's name?

"Father, who is this?" Sui Sui asked obediently, tilting his head.

Wang Meiru looked at Battalion Commander Gu, then at An Nian, who had a more stinky complexion than Commander Gu, and finally decided to start with the baby.

She squatted down and said with a bright smile, "Hello, you look so beautiful."

Sui Sui suddenly pinched her nose tightly with two small hands: "It stinks!"

Wang Meiru's eyes widened.

She had known for a long time that this little girl was spoiled in the military camp, coquettish and rude, but no matter what, she shouldn't be called stinky!

Wang Meiru's face turned red immediately, and she stretched out her hand to pull Sui Sui, and said in embarrassment, "I just participated in labor, and labor is the most glorious." "It smells so bad.

" Huhu's face trembled slightly.

Wang Meiru wished she could dive into the cracks in the ground.

She didn't dare to look up at Battalion Commander Gu, but she still wanted to maintain her dignity, so she changed the topic and said, "Next time we meet, I'll treat you to candy. You can call me Sister Educated Youth.

" sounded.

"Sister educated youth!"

Wang Meiru finally felt a little comfort in her heart, a child is a child, and she didn't mean it!

Wouldn't this coax you back?

However, when she raised her head and was about to face the little doll with the gentlest smile, she had already run away with a "swoosh".

"Sister educated youth!"

"Sister educated youth, why are you here!"

Sui Sui opened his short arms and flew into Chu Wan's arms.

Behind her, Battalion Commander Gu strode forward to keep up with the child.

Although An Nian was reluctant, he couldn't let go, so he had to go forward.

Wang Meiru, who was left behind alone, froze in place, looking at them in disbelief.

The three of them knew Chu Wan?

Also, both she and Chu Wan worked all day long.

Why did you pinch your nose in front of her and pounce on the little widow for a hug?

Did this little doll do it on purpose?

...

On the other side, Grandma Mo came back with them.

The old lady bought wool and was going to knit socks for the two little guys.

It's summer now, and she can't wear warm and thick socks yet, but she has to prepare for the children first.

Because, An Nian and Sui Sui will follow Gu Xiao back to the barracks soon.

There are only five days left of Gu Xiao's family-visiting leave.

Grandma Mo blamed them for being reluctant to part with them, but she also knew that the leave given by the team leader this time was saved by Gu Xiao for several years, fifteen days is enough. As for the children, since he is willing to take care of them, it is definitely better for An Nian and Sui Sui to follow their "Papa Gu" than to follow her.

Among other things, in terms of educational resources alone, the schools in the commune are not as good as those in the barracks.

Early in the morning, the old man went into the city with the children to buy wool, and Gu Xiao followed him all the way, barely speaking, only paying for money and tickets. Grandma Mo has money herself, but Gu Xiao didn't let her take out her purse in a daze, and the old lady had nothing to do with him.

On the way back, Sui Sui wanted to eat candied haws, so Gu Xiao bought them two.

The little guy ate three candied haws and wanted to let his brother taste it. Anian shook his head, pursed his lips and said he didn't want it.

So when they were on the bus, it was Grandma Mo who always held the candy for them.

The old man walked slowly, falling behind Gu Xiao and the two children, and did not come in from the village entrance until a long time later.

As soon as she entered the village, she saw Gu Xiao and Chu Wan standing with the children.

A few days ago, Grandma Mo asked Gu Xiao if he was interested in Chu Wan, but he didn't answer at that time.

Thinking about it now, she also felt that she was old and confused.

The two are a good match in appearance, but regardless of their personalities, family background and past, they are completely different.

"Wow, this candied haws..." Seeing Grandma Mo, Wang Meiru was about to make friends with her.

Can't handle the young ones, can she still handle the old ones?

Grandma Mo recognized her as an educated youth who went to the countryside, and smiled kindly: "Do you want to eat it?" It's not that

Wang Meiru wants to eat candied haws, but it should be more pleasing to show her innocent and cute side in front of the elderly, right?

She remembered that when she first went to the countryside, the educated youths had prepared specialties from their hometown, and she was too embarrassed to taste them, but Chu Wan was generous, and everyone thought she was sincere and childish.

"I want to try one." Wang Meiru said softly.

"Then let me ask the children." Grandma Mo turned her head and shouted at An Nian and Sui Sui, "Annian, Sui Sui, can you let her eat one of your candied haws?

" Fingers are curled up.

"No!" An Nian said loudly.

The corner of Suisui's mouth turned down, and her small face became serious: "No!"

The corner of Wang Meiru's mouth froze.

"I'm sorry." Grandma Mo said, "The two children disagree."

"No, it's okay..." Wang Meiru shook her head in embarrassment, and when she raised her eyes, she found Commander Gu glanced at her indifferently.

And that glance was very complicated, with various meanings.

Dislike, irritability, disgust...

Even, if eyes could talk, Commander Gu would probably be saying - how could someone compete with children for food?

Wang Meiru was heartbroken.

When she came back to her senses again, she saw Suisui kicking her short legs, running over with a "pattapata", and took the candied haws away.

"I want to treat the educated youth sister to eat!" After Xiaotuanzi finished speaking, he ran to Chu Wan happily again.
