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

In the blink of an eye, An Nian had lived in Qiao's courtyard for half a month, and it was mid-June.

Beijing is gradually entering early summer, and the temperature is rising rapidly.

"Did the Xiao family send fruit again?"

Qiao Yongsheng was lying on the recliner, swinging the cattail leaf leaf leisurely in his hand. He saw An Nian carrying something through the door and looked over.

"Well, Xiao Jinnian sent me a watermelon."

An Nian raised his hand, and the watermelon the size of a basketball was in his hand, showing its emerald green skin.

Qiao Changsheng narrowed his eyes and whispered, "He is quite positive."

The Qiao family's yard does not have tap water, so they still use water from their own well. It is right in the yard. The water is cool and ice-cold, which is perfect for freezing watermelons.

An Nian went to the well, fetched a bucket of water, and soaked the watermelon.

After doing all this, she clapped her hands and sat down next to Qiao Yongsheng again.

"Master, when can the mission Director Wang mentioned start?"

The day after An Nian left the Xiao family, she got the news that she had passed the selection of the National Health Care Team. She was very happy at the time and thought she could go see Yu Luyuan right away. Unexpectedly, she had to wait for so long.

For half a month, An Nian actually lived a very fulfilling life. Every morning, he and Qiao Yongsheng went to the Military General Hospital for outpatient visits, and in the afternoon they went to participate in in-hospital consultations. They saw many novel cases and gained a lot of knowledge.

However, every night, when An Nian was lying in bed alone, she always felt empty, and it was uncomfortable to turn over at night.

"I'm waiting too."

Qiao Yongsheng looked at her and sighed secretly.

If he didn't let his stupid apprentice stay away from the Xiao family's young master, Qiao Changsheng was really afraid that something would happen.

Xiao Jinnian grew up in Hong Kong City, and later studied in Country M. His temperament was not like that of Chinese people today. He was very deviant.

They left Xiao's house half a month ago. Qiao Yongsheng thought he could keep Xiao Jinnian away, but unexpectedly, he came to visit the next day.He was very smart and got the expert clinic number of the Military General Hospital. He asked Qiao Yongsheng to have his heart checked and said that his heart was not feeling well.

This kind of symptom is a disease that cannot be detected, and it is easy to cause accidents. Qiao Changsheng has no choice but to receive him.

An Nian followed Qiao Yongsheng and met Xiao Jinnian naturally.

Every day, Xiao Jinnian would deliver things to the Qiao family's courtyard. They were usually fruits and snacks. They were not worth much, but they were enough to increase their sense of presence.

Qiao Shi lamented more than once that the Xiao family was thoughtful and very repaying their kindness.

Qiao Changsheng saw his intention from Xiao Jinnian.

However, Xiao Jinnian never said it clearly, and he couldn't do anything. He only hoped that the mission of the military region could separate the two of them.

You can't make mistakes.

"Okay." An Nian held his chin, picked up the chess set on the table, and pushed it forward. "I have nothing to do in the afternoon, Master, let's have a game?"

Qiao Yongsheng was a bad chess player and loved playing chess the most. Hearing this, he immediately put aside his previous worries.

"Come on, come on!"

The master and apprentice were playing chess quietly in the yard. The breeze blew and the leaves in the yard rustled, creating a special kind of tranquility.

An hour later, Qiao Shi walked out of the room with a red face after taking a nap.

"How about playing chess again? It's so boring..."

"Are you awake?" An Nian smiled at her.

"Niannian, let's go to the library of the Normal University?" Qiao Shi rubbed against her lazily.

An Nian stretched his shoulders to make her lean more comfortably.

"Have you finished reading the book you borrowed last time?"

"Yeah. I've read it twice."

Qiao's courtyard is not far from Beijing Normal University. A few days ago, Qiao Shi found a library card from somewhere, took An Nian for a trip, and borrowed two books.

An Nian nodded: "Okay, I'll go with you."

"I knew you were the best to me!" Qiao Shi shook her hand coquettishly, very happy.

As a spectator, Qiao Shi reached out and moved the chess pieces on An Nian's side in order to start quickly.

"Grandpa, you lose!"

Qiao Yongsheng stared at her speechlessly: "You are the only one who knows how to do it!"

"Hehe, you are the best among the three of us anyway!" Qiao Shi was not afraid of him at all. He made a face at him and pulled An Nian up. "Nian Nian, let's leave now."

An Nian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This game of chess had been played for an hour. She was just playing with her master, so she didn't want to give Qiao Shi any face.

Qiao Yongsheng stroked his beard and sighed: "Young women can't be admitted to college... Okay, okay, you two can go out and play by yourselves."

Qiao Shi stuck out his tongue, feeling a little guilty.

"Grandpa, when we come back we will bring you braised pork from the state-owned restaurant! Chef Qiu's cooking is top notch!"

Qiao Changsheng laughed, this little girl was quite conscientious.

"Wait for me for a while, I'll change clothes." An Nian got up and went back to the room.

Qiao Shi walked around the yard and saw the watermelon beside the well, and his eyes lit up.

"Where did the watermelon come from?"

Qiao Yongsheng lay back and said, "The Xiao family sent it here."

"Oh, Xiao Jinnian sent it."

Qiao Shi was used to it, and when he heard the word "Xiao family", it automatically matched Xiao Jinnian's face.

She reached out and patted the watermelon, swallowing when she heard its crisp sound.

"This watermelon must be sweet! Grandpa! Let's eat it together when we come back!"

Qiao Yongsheng closed his eyes and ignored her nonsense.

-

Beijing Normal University.

"Nian Nian, do you want to borrow two books back this time?"

Qiao Shi held her hand and walked along the tree-lined path of the Normal University, with the evening breeze blowing and his steps brisk.

An Nian smiled and shook his head: "There's nothing I like."

She was only interested in medical books. The library of the Normal University contained a lot of prose, poetry, and novels, but there was no medical skills that An Nian liked.

"Don't you like "Fortress Besieged"? I think Mr. Qian Zhongshu wrote it very well. Fang Hongjian's experience of studying abroad is ridiculous, and his vacillation in marriage choices is also ironic."

When talking about his favorite books, Josh started to talk endlessly.

An Nian had never read "Fortress Besieged", so she laughed after hearing her tell the main story of the entire book.

"The protagonist wants too much and is never satisfied. I think he is not worthy of all the women in the book. He is too shallow."

Qiao Shi looked at her and asked: "What about you, Niannian? You got married so early, will you also want to visit [the city]?"

"No. I'm fine in the city." An Nian shook his head. "In the city, I have a husband who loves me and parents who love me."

"is it?"

Qiao Shi couldn't quite understand her statement. In her opinion, An Nian was a bit lonely. When Yu Luyuan was on a mission, she could only stay at home alone.

Qiao Shi had never seen Yu Luyuan and An Nian get along with each other very often. When he caught a glimpse of them, they seemed to keep a distance apart when walking and never got too close.

However, couples in China seem to be like this...

Different from the love stories Qiao Shi had read in books, there was no grandeur, only plainness.

Looking at An Nian's gentle eyebrows, Qiao Shi felt a little pain in her heart, and she held An Nian's arm tightly.

"Nian Nian, are you happy?"

An Nian thought for a moment. At this moment, she didn't seem very happy...

Alas, I don’t know where Yuanyuan is now?It's a terrible feeling to not be able to connect at all.

It would be great if this was the world of cultivation. An Nian once learned how to make communication talismans. With enough spiritual power, she could contact Yuanyuan with just a thought.

Seeing her silence, Qiao Shi pursed his lips, stopped asking any more questions, and looked forward.

"Eh? Nian Nian, what happened over there? It seems quite lively?"

As the two of them got closer, they discovered that there was a bulletin board in front of them, with the midterm exam results of the freshmen posted on it.

"Wow!" Qiao Shi's eyes lit up, "Quick, quick, Nian Nian, let's squeeze in and have a look! The students from Beijing Normal University must have very good grades. Let's see how high their total score can be."

An Nian was pulled by her and squeezed into the crowd, reaching the innermost part.

A large piece of red rice paper was posted on the black bulletin board, with names neatly written on it with a black brush.

In just a few seconds, An Nian read the entire rice paper.

It was easy to discover An Qian's name.

An Nian's brows raised slightly.

An Qian's name unexpectedly landed in the lower right corner, in last place, with a score of only 102 points, a full two hundred points less than the bottom No. 2.

An Nian put her finger to her lips and couldn't suppress her smile.

She was quite curious about what An Qian had gone through in the past four months to be able to fall behind by so many points.

An Nian clearly remembered that An Qian had the highest score in their county, with a score of 450 in the college entrance examination (the total score in the college entrance examination was 500 points), and she was worshiped by the candidates of the same class for a long time.

"Nian Nian, look..." Qiao Shi pointed to the last one, with uncontrollable gossip in his voice. "The score for the last place is too low."

Before An Nian could answer, the people beside him couldn't help but interrupt.

"No, I'm going blind! Isn't An Qian the top scorer in the college entrance examination in Nanjiang Province? The level in Nanjiang Province is too bad..."

Only then did An Nian realize that An Qian was still the provincial champion. No wonder the An family always had its nostrils turned upward during that period.

"Zhang Ning asked An Qian for advice before, but she always refused. I thought she was arrogant, but it turned out that she didn't have ink in her stomach."

"It's not necessarily...maybe it's because she's in a bad state...she's been looking ugly these past few days."

"Haha, I still had a high fever when I took the exam, and I didn't get 102 points. 102 points, we can't get this score even if we take the test with our eyes closed, right?!"

Qiao Shi's eyes widened: "The last one was the top scorer in the college entrance examination in Nanjiang Province last year?"

"Yes, she is famous. She could have gone to Beijing University or Qingdao University, but she said her dream was to become a great people's teacher, so she chose our Normal University without hesitation."

"Wow! She's quite courageous." Qiao Shi sighed.

The eyes of the female classmate next to her suddenly became strange. She felt that Qiao Shi had something wrong with her brain: "Do you think she has courage?"

"No? I got admitted to Peking University and came to the Normal University to register. After entering the Normal University, I deliberately got the last place in the exam. She can be called a representative figure of rebellious women."

An Nian's lips twitched, and she decided to filter the books Qiao Shi read in the future, so as not to damage her brain.

"Okay, Shi Shi, aren't you in a hurry to go to the library? It's very late?"

"Oh oh oh, I almost forgot." Qiao Shi was pulled by An Nian and immediately came to his senses. He looked up at the wall clock on the teaching building next to him. "Oh, it's already five o'clock. Let's go for a walk. Nian Nian, let's borrow the books first."

"Ah."

An Nian followed her out, looked back at the girls who had just spoken, smiled apologetically, and pointed to her temple.

Watching An Nian and the others leave, one of the girls looked confused: "What does she mean by that?"

"It means her friend is not very smart, so let's not mind her."

"...very vivid. Have you noticed that she looks a bit like An Qian?"

"Huh? Don't tell me, there is a bit of similarity between the eyebrows..."

They wanted to take another look, but An Nian's figure had long since disappeared around the corner.

-

After entering the library, An Nian accompanied Qiao Shi to find books.

"Nian Nian, that An Qian's name is quite similar to yours. Do you think she started falling in love after entering college? If it's because love affects her grades, I don't think it's okay..."

Qiao Shi muttered and reached for the novel on the bookshelf.

An Nian held her hand and gave her a Book of Songs.

"Look at meng."

"What's so interesting about the Book of Songs?" Qiao Shi muttered dissatisfiedly, but still took the book and held it in his hand.

"It can clear your mind." An muttered but smiled silently.

"Don't bully me because I don't understand. I can still memorize "Hunter", okay? The gangster is like Chi Chi, hugging cloth and silk. Bandits come to trade silk, and they come to make plans for me."

Qiao Shi recited it in a low voice while shaking her head. The more she recited it, the quieter her voice became.

An Nian said: "Are you awake?"

Qiao Shi sighed: "You are too calm."

Alas, my family married young and probably never enjoyed the nourishment of love.

An Nian didn't know what Qiao Shi was thinking at this time, but he saw her reaching for "The Scholars" and stopped stopping her.

A library card can borrow three books at a time. Qiao Shi chose again and again, and finally chose two novels she liked and the "Book of Songs" that An Nian pushed to her.

The two of them left the normal university with their books, went to a state-owned restaurant, bought three bowls of Master Qiu's special stew, and carried them home.

They walked too fast and didn't notice their front and back legs. A big thing happened at Beijing Normal University.

The reason was that several girls were muttering while walking, saying that An Qian must have cheated to get into college, or that she had taken someone's place in college.

Speaking without intention, the listener is intentional.

What they said happened to be heard by a boy passing by. He remembered that the girl next door had good grades, but she didn't get into college.

Before, the boy couldn't figure out why, but now it was like being struck by lightning. This thought appeared in his mind and he could never get out of it.

The boy rushed to the principal's office and told the story.

He was smart and didn't name the girl next door, but instead caught An Qian.

After all, An Qian's midterm exam results were so outrageous that they almost exceeded the bottom line of Beijing Normal University.

"you sure?"

When President Yue Qiming of the Normal University heard this, he couldn't sit still.

The boy gritted his teeth and clenched his fists: "Principal, do you think the number one scholar in Nanjiang Province will fall so far behind in just four months? The midterm exam score was only 102 points. This score really doesn't seem outrageous to you. ?!"

The principal didn't pay attention to the freshman test scores before. He was too busy.

Halfway through 78, many policies have been made clear, and the president is busy trying to save those powerful professors.
