The Pretty Military Wife

On the night of August 13, 1971, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.

The nights in early autumn are still a little hot.

Zhou Guoliang looked at the slope in front of him. As long as he went up the slope, he would see the reservoir, and after crossing the reservoir, he would be home.

After being away from home for ten years, he finally had the chance to come back. I’m afraid that no one in his family knew where he had gone.

Zhou Guoliang straightened his military cap. He was a little excited about returning home, so he quickened his pace.

As soon as I got up the slope and saw the reservoir sparkling in the moonlight, I heard a whimpering sound.

He followed the sound and saw a person standing under a tree beside the reservoir. Then he saw the person jump and hit the reservoir with a bang, causing a high splash of water.

"Oh no, someone jumped into the water!"

Without time to think, Zhou Guoliang dropped the large bag in his hand, took off his backpack while running, took off his shirt and leather shoes, and then jumped into the water from where the man jumped.

But when I jumped down, I didn't see anyone.

I took a deep breath and dived down to search for a while, but there was no one there.

When I dived a second time, I finally touched a hand.

Zhou Guoliang grabbed the hand and pulled it upwards. Relying on his familiarity with the reservoir, he swam towards the rocky shore.

When he picked the person up, his hand touched something soft. Zhou Guoliang froze for a moment, then realized that it was a woman.

Regardless of gender differences, saving people was the most important thing. Zhou Guoliang pressed the woman's abdomen hard, and some water came out of her mouth.

He half-knelt down, turned the woman over and placed her on his knees, and used his knees to hold the woman's stomach.

The woman spit out some more water and choked.

I started coughing instinctively.

Came alive.

Zhou Guoliang then put the man down again and leaned him against the rocks on the shore:

"are you awake?"

are you awake?

Is this a person who saved himself?

Liang Xinyue was frightened and drowned.

I went to the experimental field to see how the newly cultivated corn was growing. I accidentally slipped and failed to brake, and I slid directly from the slope into the reservoir under the cornfield.

She was originally a landlubber and the more she struggled, the deeper she sank, leaving her with only endless darkness and despair.

Now that he has been rescued, he is still shaking with fear.

After coughing for a while, Liang Xinyue looked up and was even more frightened.

Is it night? Stars? Moon?

Isn't it morning?

Why is the reservoir so big?

Liang Xinyue was startled and wanted to stand up but felt a little weak. She felt dizzy when she moved her head and an inexplicable memory rushed into her mind.

Team 3 of Xintang Village, Xintang Reservoir.

diving?

Do not!

Liang Xinyue raised her hand and hit her head.

This is not my memory!

But I saw those hands under the moon, thin and dark, and when I clenched my fists I could feel the calluses on the palms and fingers.

Isn't this me?

Am I dead and turned into a ghost?

"Are you feeling better? Which family are you from?"

Zhou Guoliang wrung the water out of his trouser legs.

Liang Xinyue was startled when she heard the sound. She turned around and saw a man in a white shirt squatting beside her and patting the water off his hair with his hands.

The well-defined and firm facial features and the eyes and brows just emerging from the water, how could they look so beautiful under the hazy moonlight?

I was stunned after taking one look at it.

This person himself doesn’t know the other ghost?

Zhou Guoliang wanted to take off his shirt and wring it out, but when he saw the look in her eyes when she turned around, he said a little embarrassedly:

"You're still a little cold after getting wet. Where are you from? I'll take you home. If you have any problems in the future, just think about it and don't jump into the reservoir just because you can't get over it."

Liang Xinyue: ...You are the one who is upset, and your whole family is the one who is upset! I just slipped and fell into the water... Uh... It doesn't seem right, I am not myself now?

Liang Xinyue sorted out the memory in her mind. Did she travel through time?

Or it was given to a... uh... how should I put it, a widow, right?

In this memory, she was exchanged for a bride in the Zhou family because her family was too poor and her brother had never been able to find a wife.

The Zhou family had a daughter who had encephalitis and was much slower in reaction and a little dumb. The Zhou family asked someone to mediate and exchange a relative with their own family.

The silly daughter of the Zhou family went to the Liang family and was spoiled by them. They only hoped that the daughter-in-law they had finally found could carry on the family line.

Fortunately, he is just a little stupid and can still take care of himself in basic life.

Moreover, after they got married, they had two grandchildren in three years, and the Liang family was very satisfied.

However, Liang Xinyue's life became difficult after being transferred to the Zhou family.

The Zhou family originally had two sons and one daughter.

The eldest son is married and has three children.

The second daughter was a stupid girl, but the third daughter went to the county town at the age of seventeen and there was no news of her since then.

The Zhou family had also looked for him, asked for help from gods, and consulted witches from all over the place, but they all came to the same conclusion: he had died unexpectedly outside.

Every fortune teller has a different account of where he died.

Later, a fairy lady said that Zhou Laosan died miserably and had no descendants to burn incense for him, so he should be matched with a wife.

So, three years ago, Liang Xinyue became a widow and married a tablet.

Don't think that just because there is a new society, these ignorant things in the countryside still exist.

They think that this is the tradition passed down by their ancestors, so it is right. They just need to follow the rules passed down by their ancestors.

When Liang Xinyue arrived at the Zhou family, her eldest sister-in-law was about to give birth. At that time, the Zhou family said that if it was a son, the baby would be adopted by the third son, but it turned out to be a daughter.

We could only wait, and finally, my sister-in-law is pregnant again.

If the eldest sister-in-law gives birth to a son, he will be adopted by her, and then Zhou Laosan will have a descendant.

In the countryside, in this era, in the eyes of the elderly, having incense is very important. Even the two elders of the Liang family, knowing that their daughter was being bullied, still advised her to be patient and wait for the eldest sister-in-law to give birth to another son, who would be her son, and everything would be fine in the future.

Liang Xinyue didn't dare to resist, because if she resisted, the Zhou family would have to take their stupid daughter back and her two children as well.

The honest Liang Xinyue had to endure it all for the sake of her brother's having a home and descendants.

Today, it was also because of a small matter. When cooking, she steamed an egg custard for her sister-in-law. She forgot whether to add salt when beating the eggs, so she poured the soda on the surface of the egg custard and tasted it. When her sister-in-law saw it, she accused her of stealing the egg custard.

Then the mother-in-law grabbed her hair and beat her violently, not allowing her to eat, and made her kneel in the yard until dawn.

It was dark, everyone had eaten and gone to sleep, but the dishes were still on the table, so she had to get up in the morning to wash them.

The original person was kneeling alone in the yard, his whole body aching. He couldn't go on like this, so he came to the edge of the reservoir and jumped into it.

Liang Xinyue was speechless after receiving these memories. Did she have to suffer for her again after traveling here?

Do not!

Absolutely not.

While cleaning his own water, Zhou Guoliang looked at Liang Xinyue. This person seemed to be looking at him, but also seemed to be looking into the distance. What are you staring at?

The wind blew a little cold on his wet body, Zhou Guoliang coughed again and asked again:

"Which family are you from? I'll take you back."

He thought that if he didn't send her to her family, he was afraid that she would jump again as soon as he turned around.

Liang Xinyue came to her senses and cursed the unscrupulous God in her heart for making her travel through time and space to such an identity and such a poor era.

"I...I'm from the Zhou...Zhou family. You don't have to send me off. People will misunderstand me."

Yes, I am a widow now. If I go home in the middle of the night and there is a man I don’t recognize following me, he might beat me to death.

As for this damn poor widow identity, I'll figure out a way to deal with it later.

Liang Xinyue didn't notice that Zhou Guoliang's eyes changed.

From the Zhou family?

In the third team of Xintang Village, only their family has the surname Zhou.
