Rebirth in the 70s: A military wife who was married into a vegetative state

"Mom and Dad! I got a job as a temporary worker in the county transportation team!"

When Yu Yuejin got home, he couldn't wait to rush into the kitchen.

"really?"

Li Youmei walked over quickly in surprise and wiped her hands on her apron several times to make sure that all the water stains on her hands had been dried before reaching out to take the contract handed over by Yue Yuejin.

A contract is a simple piece of paper with employment information written on it.

"Really, I even received work clothes?"

Yu Yuejin happily opened the bag he was carrying and took out the gray work clothes inside.

The county transportation team has only two types of work clothes, one blue, which is only provided to master craftsmen.The other is gray, worn by regular drivers and temporary workers.

"Okay, okay." Li Youmei's eyebrows arched happily, "Real army! Let's go cut some meat later! Let's celebrate!"

Since the Chinese New Year, the Yu family has often eaten meat, and Yu Zhengjun has long been familiar with the food.

"Okay! I'll make more."

He is happy too.

The life of their family has really gotten better and better. The three children have their own futures and no longer need to make a living in the fields like the couple.

Yu Zhengjun has experienced famine. Once God is not kind, farmers can only eat grass and Guanyin soil. Not many of the older generation in Lu'an Village survived, and most of them starved to death at that time.

Li Youmei took out her work clothes and gestured with Yu Yuejin.

"It looks a bit big. Mom will change it for you later."

"okay!"

Li Youmei put her clothes back on and looked outside: "Why didn't your eldest brother and your sister-in-law come back together?"

"Oh, the two of them have other things to do in the county. They said they wanted to find some books."

-

Lin County.

An Nian and Yu Luyuan, who stayed behind under the pretext of "looking for books," actually had other goals.

An Nian relied on his past memories and took Yu Luyuan by car to the vicinity of the textile factory.

"I lived here until I was eight years old."

An Nian looked at the family area in front of him, memories rolling over his face, and the smile on his face couldn't stop.

"I'm lucky. My parents are very good to me."

The names An Jianguo and Chen Wan will always be engraved deep in An Nian's heart.What an excellent pair of parents they were. They didn't dislike An Nian for being a fool. They would always talk to her patiently and teach her how to read.

Even though An Nian couldn't even speak and could only giggle like "ah ah ah", Chen Wan just took out a handkerchief to wipe her saliva with red eyes.

"We will visit their graves during the Qingming Festival."

Yu Luyuan held her hand and comforted her.

An Nian blinked hard and held back tears.

"Well, I've never visited their graves before."

She doesn't even know where her parents' graves are. It's been 12 years and it's probably overgrown with weeds.

"Stop talking about this, brother, let's go get the things back first."

"it is good."

They were carrying large and small bags of things, all of which were gifts to be given away.

The family area of ​​​​the textile factory is not a courtyard, but several rows of bungalows, basically two doors into a home.

One door has a large door and is the room, and the other door has a small door and is the kitchen.

But as time went by, and people lived longer and longer, many people began to build their own homes, and there was a small room outside the door, which naturally became two bedrooms and a kitchen, forming an "L" shape.

For discerning families, this "L"-shaped depression will even be fenced, turning it into a small yard, which is convenient for growing flowers and parking a bicycle.When the weather is hot, you can also set up a table in the small yard to eat, making unlimited use of space.

An Nian followed his memory and walked to the door of his original home.

Fortunately, this family did not put up a fence, so they could knock on the door.

"Knock down."

"Who?! You don't sleep at noon!"

The people inside were cursing and pulling on their slippers and came over to open the door.

"You are……?"

The words that came to the other person's mouth disappeared instantly, and those eyes stared directly at An Nian.

The squinting eyes made people feel particularly uncomfortable. Yu Luyuan took two steps forward and blocked An Nian behind him, his eyes sharp.

The young man winced and looked away.

"Who are you looking for?"

Yu Luyuan: "Let's find Chen Xiuxiu."

"Mom! Someone is looking for you!" The young man suddenly became impatient, yelled inside, and walked away.

After a while, a middle-aged woman wearing an apron came out. Her eyes were not very good. She squinted outside for a long time before she smiled in surprise.

"Is she Nian Nian? An Nian? Chen Wan's daughter?"

An Nian nodded vigorously: "Aunt Xiu! I am Nian Nian."

"Good good."

Chen Xiuxiu's eyes turned red instantly and she reached out to hold her.

"Quick, quick, come in and sit, come in and sit! You have grown up and you look so much like your mother.

Aunt Xiu hasn't seen you for two years. If you were on the street now, I wouldn't dare to recognize you. "

This is why An Nian dared to come directly to her door. In the past few years, Chen Xiuxiu had visited her in Lu'an Village almost every year, bringing some clothes and food.

"Sit here. The house is too small and there's no room for it."

An Nian looked at the many matchboxes placed on the propped up wooden boards, some were folded, and more were semi-finished products.

Chen Xiuxiu put the wooden board on the chest of drawers a little awkwardly: "Aunt Xiu is bored at home, so she pastes up matchboxes to earn some pocket money."

"Nian Nian, when did you get better from your illness? This is your..."

"He is my partner. We got married years ago."

An Nian took the enamel jar and introduced it naturally.

"Hello, Aunt Xiu."

Yu Luyuan stood up to greet him.

"Okay, okay." Chen Xiuxiu quickly touched her pocket, took out two dollars and stuffed it into Yu Luyuan. "It's our first meeting, and Aunt Xiu didn't have time to prepare. You can use this money to buy some candies."

An Nian and Yu Luyuan quickly refused.

Chen Xiuxiu glared: "You came here to see me, you brought so many things, why can't I just give you two yuan? Take it quickly, don't waste time!"

The two of them couldn't resist her, so they had no choice but to accept it.

The three of them sat and talked for a while.

Chen Xiuxiu stood up on her own and said something in her mouth.

"Nian Nian, you should know that your mother left something with me, right? I wanted to return it to you when you were a child, but your illness was not cured at that time, and I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to keep it..."

An Nian sat up straight. This was her goal in coming here.

"Well, Aunt Xiu, my mother told me."

Chen Xiuxiu turned her back to her and groped in the chest of drawers.

Hearing this, her eyes flashed. She originally had a cloth bag in her hand and was about to turn around, but now she stretched her hand inward.

Unexpectedly, I got nothing!

Chen Xiuxiu's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Her eyes glanced at the room next to her. The door of the small room next to her opened a crack, revealing an eye.

That eye met Chen Xiuxiu's and immediately retracted.

Chen Xiuxiu's lips trembled, she forced a smile, and turned around pretending to be calm.

"Nian Nian, these are the things your mother left here with me back then... take a look, right?"

An Nian stood up and took the simple cloth bag.

The cloth bag is made of gray cotton, a very simple style, and the stitching on it is also very rough.

This is her mother's handiwork!

An Nian still remembers that her mother was very beautiful, read a lot of books, and could speak English, but she was very bad at handicrafts.

When she was little, the clothes she wore were always made by her father.

It's funny to say that An Jianguo is a tall and tall man. Who would have thought that he works in a textile factory during the day and hides at home at night holding a thin embroidery needle to make clothes for his wife and daughter.

Thinking of what happened when she was a child, An Nian's eyes were gentle and she couldn't stop smiling.

"Thank you Aunt Xiu."

"It's okay. Your mother is my best friend. We are from the same family. We hit it off the first time we met. Later we worked together and our relationship is as close as sisters."

Chen Xiuxiu sighed and sat back on the stool with nostalgia in her eyes.

"Back then, Xiaowan was a flower in our textile factory, and so many children pursued her. Who would have thought that she would eventually choose to marry An Jianguo, who came from the countryside...

Hahahaha, I'm not saying your dad is bad.Your father is quite capable. He graduated from a rural area, but ended up learning technology from an engineer in a textile factory.

He went directly from an ordinary workshop worker to a technical engineer in a textile factory. "

Chen Xiuxiu lowered her eyebrows and sighed.

"Oh, why don't good people live long? Your parents were so good back then..."

An Nian listened quietly, listening to Chen Xiuxiu talk about her parents, as if she had also witnessed their parents' short but wonderful lives.

Seeing An Nian stop checking, Chen Xiuxiu said: "Nian Nian, have you clicked everything? Is there anything missing?"

An Nian looked at her with gentle eyes: "Aunt Xiu, there are many things. My mother once said that she had a box. It was made of ebony and was a gift from my grandfather..."

The smile on Chen Xiuxiu's face froze for a moment: "Ah, really?"

"Yes." An Nian looked at her with a smile, as if he didn't notice the stiffness in her body. "Aunt Xiu, my mother said you are her best friend."

"Yeah..." Chen Xiuxiu responded dryly.

"My parents died in the fire back then, right? Was it to save you? My mother had already run out, but when she found you weren't there, she rushed in again.

My father was afraid that something might happen to her, so he followed her in.In the end, only you came out alive...still wearing my mother's clothes..."

The more she spoke, the paler Chen Xiuxiu's face turned.

"What happened in the fire?"

As soon as An Nian said this question, Chen Xiuxiu couldn't bear it anymore. She stood up with a pale face and rushed towards the small door.

"Take the things out! Did you steal them?!"

"I do not have!"

"You beast! You just eat and drink at home, but you still dare to be a thief!"

"Ah! Mom, stop fighting! I'll give it to you! I'll give it to you!"

"..."

There were loud quarrels and fights inside the small door.

An Nian sat there and listened expressionlessly.

Yu Luyuan grabbed her trembling hand distressedly and squeezed it comfortingly.

An Nian came back to his senses and turned to smile at him: "Brother, I'm fine."

"You still have me."

"Ah."

-

"boom!"

The small door was slammed shut by Chen Xiuxiu. She tidied her messy hair and came back with a dark brown box.

"Nian Nian, look at this box?"

The smile on Chen Xiuxiu's face was very forced, her eyes were lowered, and her lips moved several times before she spoke guiltily.

"Nian Nian, I'm sorry. Aunt Xiu..."

An Nian took the box and looked through it to make sure it was in good condition. He used his spiritual power to probe into the box and scan it around.

"Aunt Xiu, I've got the things, so I'll leave first. Thank you for taking care of them all these years."

With that said, she stood up, and Yu Luyuan also stood up.

Chen Xiuxiu took two steps forward nervously:

"Nian Nian! Your father was hit by a beam in the factory and couldn't escape from the fire!

Your mother died of love... In 66, the entire social atmosphere changed. Your mother can speak English and has overseas connections...

That year, the atmosphere in the textile factory was also not right. Your mother was having a hard time in the factory...

If it wasn't for your father to protect her, she would have died long ago, so..."

An Nian didn't look back, and tears fell down.

No wonder when she was eight years old, she always felt that her mother was unhappy. An Nian thought that she had been stupid for too long and that her mother had lost her patience.

"Nian Nian, I'm sorry..." Chen Xiuxiu lowered her head, her voice choked with sobs.

An Nian took a deep breath and turned around: "Aunt Xiu, thank you for keeping my mother's belongings for so many years."

As she spoke, she bent deeply towards Chen Xiuxiu.

No matter what, during such difficult ten years, Chen Xiuxiu did not reveal her mother, and retained her identity as a "brave person".

Otherwise, as long as Chen Xiuxiu hands over what Chen Wan left behind, Chen Wan's status as a capitalist will become the biggest brand in the chaotic decade.

Even if An Nian is a fool, it is impossible for him to grow up so peacefully.As a descendant of a capitalist, even in Lu'an Village, An Nian would be dragged out to be criticized and tortured until life was worse than death.

After An Nian and Yu Luyuan left, Chen Xiuxiucai fell on the stool as if lost.

"Damn it! These two people are so rich! They actually stuffed a stack of unity inside?!"

"What?!" Chen Xiuxiu suddenly turned her head to look at her son, who was reading through the things they had brought.

Chen Xiuxiu's son licked his fingers greedily, counted the money in his hand, and twisted it one by one.

"Mom! They gave me ten Unity cards! 100 yuan!"

Chen Xiuxiu was stunned for a long time, then covered her face and burst into tears.

-

"Nian Nian..." Yu Luyuan was a little worried about her.

"Brother." An Nian stopped and looked up at him, his eyes were very red.

"Ok?"

The next second, An Nian had rushed into his arms, buried her whole body into his chest, pressed her cheek against the side of his neck, and breathed like a feather across his ears.

"Brother, my parents are the best parents in the world, right?"

"Well, they're fine."

Regardless of the fact that this was outside and someone might pass by at any time, Yu Luyuan gently held her in his arms and stroked her back with his warm hands.

"They love you very much."

"Yes, they love me very much."

An Nian closed her eyes hard, tears rolling down uncontrollably.

But what about her?What did she give to her parents?A soulless body?

Her parents were even afraid that they would be old or dead and would not be able to take care of their idiot daughter, so they kept saving money frugally.
