Rebirth in the 70s: A rough man’s husband pinches his waist and dotes on him

Zhiyuan stood at the door of Qingtian's house.

At that time, Qingtian's house was quite lively, as if some relatives had come. Zhiyuan's appearance seemed a little abrupt, at least that's what he thought.

Qinglang was very surprised, "Zhiyuan, you're back? Come in!"

After arranging Zhiyuan to sit down, Qinglang said, "This is my aunt at home."

One is my aunt, and there are others.

Sunny is not at home.

Aunt Qinglang looked at Zhiyuan a few times, very curious. After hearing that he was Qinglang's friend, she smiled and left.

Outside the door, Zhiyuan heard Aunt Qinglang talking to Qinglang's mother, "The other party really likes Qingtian. If Qingtian seizes this opportunity, your family will be able to turn things around. The other party's family is very well-off. If Qingtian marries him, she won't have to worry about food and clothing. The betrothal gift has been agreed upon. Give this amount."

Zhiyuan frowned slightly.

In fact, this is Zhiyuan’s first time to come to Qingtian’s new home.

When I first met the Qingtian family, they lived on a boat. Over the years, their lives were getting better and better. They lived in a spacious new building, and they didn't seem to need help from others to turn their lives around.

The only one is Qingtian's father. Due to years of alcoholism and various bad habits, he is now paralyzed. He has to lie in bed all year round and need someone to take care of him. But according to Qinglang, he has hired a special nurse to take care of him.

Zhiyuan and Qinglang chatted for a while. As Qinglang's mother was too enthusiastic, Zhiyuan felt a little uncomfortable and planned to leave.

At this time, the sunny day came back.

The two were stunned the moment they saw each other.

But Zhiyuan had already said goodbye.

"Then you brothers and sisters should go and see Zhiyuan off." Qingtian's mother said.

Qingtian hesitated for a moment and agreed.

When he went downstairs, Qinglang received a phone call, as if it was an urgent matter.

"Go ahead, just walk with me on sunny days." Zhiyuan said.

After hearing this, Qingtian couldn't help but look at him.

"That's good." Qinglang patted his shoulder, "We two brothers, we have a long way to go, let's meet again."

Zhiyuan nodded.

Going further, there were only Zhiyuan and Qingtian.

Sunny accompanied him as they walked towards the ferry.

Zhiyuan walked very slowly, making Qingtian's pace seem particularly hurried, and he would turn back from time to time to wait for him.

"Why are you walking so fast? Are you rushing me to go back?" Zhiyuan said behind her.

Qingtian got anxious when he heard this, embarrassed and anxious, and explained, "That's not what I meant... I... I was worried that you would miss the ferry and couldn't go home."

"If I can't go back, I'll stay." Zhiyuan stared at her and said softly.

Qingtian didn’t know how to answer and his face turned red with anxiety.

Zhiyuan sighed, "Do I make it so difficult for you?"

"No..." Qingtian suddenly didn't know what he meant by 'difficult'. What was he saying if he answered no...

"Okay, let's go." Zhiyuan also quickened his pace, "Where did we go just now?"

"Just now, there was something." Qingtian said. In fact, it was a student who came to her for something.

"Are you going for... a blind date?" Zhiyuan suddenly said with a joking look on his face.

"No, no..." Qingtian stuttered, "I..."

"I just arrived at your house and heard from your aunt that she introduced a boyfriend to you. Have you met him? How is he?" Zhiyuan asked her with a smile.

Qingtian was silent for a long time before he said, "Yeah, it's OK, he's a nice guy."

Something bitter flowed through Zhiyuan's heart.

He smiled and said, "Didn't you say you were a non-marriage person?"

"That's... I haven't met the right person." Qingtian lowered her head, not daring to look him in the eye. "Besides, my family is also very worried. I hope... someone can take care of me."

"That's great..." Zhiyuan was a little at a loss for words, "Congratulations!"

The congratulations sounded pale and stiff.

Zhiyuan felt that this was not a good idea, so he changed his tone to a joking one, "Don't do it quietly this time! You must inform me when you get married. I am also your brother and I want to add to your dowry! If he dares to treat you badly, I will not let him go!"

Qingtian listened, and a strong sense of sadness welled up in his heart, but he smiled and said, "Okay."

Zhiyuan looked at her smiling eyes and the dimples on her cheeks and said softly, "You don't have to send me off. Just stop here. I'll go to the ferry by myself."

"Well... okay." In fact, I wish this road was a little longer, and the ferry was a little further away, but even if it was 500 meters, a kilometer, or 10 kilometers longer... so what? We have to reach the end.

"Yeah. Goodbye," Zhiyuan said goodbye, but he didn't leave. He had lived for nearly thirty years, and he had said the word "goodbye" countless times, but he had never experienced this inexplicable soreness rushing straight to his throat.

Qingtian also stood there, looking at the glow in the sky behind him, and also looking at him.

After looking at each other for a few seconds, Qingtian asked him, "How are you doing recently? Is your work going well?"

Zhiyuan didn't know what special meaning was behind her question, he just thought it was a normal greeting and nodded, "Okay, everything is fine."

"That's good." Qingtian also smiled. She wasn't sure if Zhiyuan was telling the truth or if the work was going well, but she believed in Zhiyuan. Zhiyuan was so great that he would have a bright future. "Then I'll go back first?"

Returning to the life and position that belonged to her, the brief joy in the capital was the most brilliant light in her life.

She turned around and walked back with big strides, not daring to look back. She was afraid that if she looked at his back one more time, she would run towards him. But what she didn't know was that if she looked back, what she would see was not Zhiyuan's back, but Zhiyuan's eyes as he looked at her leaving.

Zhiyuan kept looking at her until her figure disappeared, then he walked towards the ferry.

"Zhiyuan!"

Before he reached the ferry, he heard someone calling him.

He looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young man running towards him. When he got closer, he could see clearly that it was Wang Yufei!

Wang Yufei ran over and bumped his shoulder excitedly, "It's really you! I thought I was seeing things!"

Zhiyuan was also very surprised. He and Wang Yufei had not seen each other for many years.

"Come on! I'll treat you to a meal!" Wang Yufei pulled him away without saying anything.

Although Zhiyuan was full of sorrow at the moment, he was still extremely surprised to see his brothers reunited.

The two went to a restaurant, sat down and started saying goodbye to each other. It turned out that Wang Yufei was working in the provincial capital, and Deputy Division Commander Wang was also transferred to the provincial capital. This time he came here on a business trip, and because it was difficult to buy tickets during the National Day, he stayed here for two more days.

"My ticket for tomorrow's ticket is a coincidence. If I were any later, I wouldn't have met you. Come on, let's get drunk tonight, brothers." Wang Yufei opened a bottle of wine.

Zhiyuan actually has a good alcohol tolerance, but he drinks little. Due to work reasons, he has to be ready to see patients at any time. How can he let himself drink? But now he is on vacation in his hometown, meeting old friends, and he has something on his mind, so he drinks too much as soon as he opens the bottle.

Drunk like never before.

Wang Yufei was worried about him and asked him his family's phone number and whether he wanted to send him back. Zhiyuan, in a daze, read out Qingtian's number.
