Rebirth: My story with my ex-husband

Gu Baijian had already moved the things into the car swiftly.

Okay, it’s more convenient to have a car.

Every time the ox cart rocked, I felt uncomfortable and like I was about to vomit everything in my stomach.

Gu Baijian was the one talking along the way, and Su Xinmi was replying.

When Gu Baijian asked what the relationship between Su Xinmi and Jiang Qiandu was.

You could hear a pin drop in the surrounding environment, and for a moment it felt like the air flow slowed down.

Gu Baijian was just about to find a topic to cover up the matter.

Then I heard Su Xinmi say, "He is a brother I have known for a long time."

Jiang Qiandu's eyes gradually became disturbed by this ancient name.

Gu Baijian was puzzled, "Brother?"

"Well, we have known each other since we were young, and I have always called him brother."

Although they had known each other since childhood, Jiang Qiandu was three years older than her. Whenever Su Xinmi grew up a little, he would go to a new place.

In fact, the two of them didn't have much contact when they grew up. Jiang Qiandu had already joined the army at that time, and he was always outside. Su Xinmi listened more to his stories.

Later, when they got married, she never called him brother.

Gu Baijian understood completely that the two knew each other, but they must have not seen each other for many years, which was why they became strangers.

After that, Gu Baijian asked Su Xinmi again, but was interrupted by Jiang Qiandu in a cold voice, "You talk too much. Today we will train you to shout slogans."

Gu Baijian finally shut up. His voice was hoarse from shouting all those slogans.

Shouting slogans is not something you can do casually. You have to shout with force and make the mountains collapse and the earth crack.

The car drove into the village, and the children in the village saw the jeep and ran after it.

The aunts and sisters were also looking at the car, which seemed very magical to them.

Seeing Su Xinmi getting off the jeep, the children chased after her and asked her how she got back and where she had been.

The news that Su Xinmi returned in a jeep spread throughout the entire mountain village.

After hearing this, Liu Xiaoxi subconsciously thought that Su Xinmi must be seducing people again. Her mother said that Su Xinmi's mother looked like a vixen, and Su Xinmi inherited her mother's looks.

Liu Xiaoxi also thought so. She originally thought that Su Xinmi would not be able to adapt to living in the countryside and would marry a village peasant.

Why doesn't she just marry a peasant? Su Xinmi looks like that, is there no one interested in her?

Su Xinmi packed up the things she bought and told the village chief that she would hold a banquet tomorrow.

When Ji Wei came back, he called Su Xinmi happily, "Su Xinmi, you've bought the things. I'll give you the money."

Su Xinmi rolled her eyes at him. She bought a lot on purpose today. Since Ji Wei and she were practicing together, they would definitely have to have a banquet together. With Ji Wei's cooking skills, she hoped he wouldn't make people sick.

Ji Wei had approached her before and said that they could do it together and he would pay for it all.

Although Su Xinmi has plenty of money, he won't work for others for free, which is just right.

Su Xinmi went to take a look at the newly built house, picked out a pot that was suitable for this era from the space and placed it on the stove.

Although the house was still very simple, Su Xinmi felt it was much better than the Youth League Home, and she could just add furniture to it slowly.

Su Xinmi discovered that the village chief had specially built an earthen kang for them. Su Xinmi had forgotten about it, but fortunately she told the village chief that if there were any shortcomings he could decide on the modifications himself.

If you don’t have a kang to spend the winter here, you might freeze to death and no one would know.

Su Xinmi bought some furniture casually. If anyone asked about it tomorrow, she could just say that she bought it today.

Su Xinmi went back happily and could pack her things and prepare to move tonight.

The next day, Su Xinmi got up early, took out the vegetables and meat she bought yesterday, and prepared to wash them.

Ji Wei did not go to work today. He actually wished he didn't have to go to work, as today he had a legitimate reason to ask for leave.

Otherwise, the aunts would talk about him wherever he went, and some even reported him, saying that he was not active in his work and was cunning and lazy. But after so long, no one knew who reported him.

People from the commune came to check and found that Ji Wei really couldn't do much work, but he did do it.

After that, the matter was dropped. I heard it was because of Ji Wei’s connection.

Ji Wei also took a day off today. Seeing Su Xinmi busy, he scratched his head and felt a little embarrassed. "Su Xinmi, if you need any help, just let me know."

Su Xinmi didn't bother to be polite with him. She was really too busy today as there were two tables of people.

"Move the big table from the Youth Farm and clean it."

Su Xinmi bought a chicken yesterday and is still tying it up, boiling water, plucking the feathers, and cutting the meat.

Ji Wei was stunned. Su Xinmi looked fragile, yet she dared to kill a chicken.

Ji Wei subconsciously took a few steps back, thinking to himself that he should not provoke Su Xinmi casually in the future.

"Why are you standing there? I'm almost too busy. Help me wash the vegetables."

Su Xinmi went to open the pot again to see how the pig's trotters were cooked.

Su Xinmi’s cooking smelled delicious, and soon the fragrance wafted out from the Youth League compound.

The people working nearby could not help swallowing their saliva when they smelled it. "I heard that Su Zhiqing and his friends are having a banquet today."

"Yes, it smells really good. I didn't expect Su Zhiqing's cooking to smell so good."

They automatically ignored Ji Wei. Now Ji Wei was on the aunts' blacklist, and they kept a close eye on their girls to make sure they didn't fall for him.

He was also used as a negative example to the younger generation in the family.

Su Xinmi cooked a lot of dishes today, including fried meat slices, fried meatballs, fried crispy pork, cold chicken, sweet braised pork, steamed spare ribs, eight-treasure rice, braised chicken, braised pork trotters, stir-fried shredded potatoes, and fish-flavored eggplant.

The village chief brought his people and set up tables and benches. I smelled a fragrance and saw that this man was really willing to do this.

There was really plenty of meat and quite a lot of variety. It all looked delicious, but I had no idea how much oil was used.

After all, who would dare to use oil like this when cooking nowadays? If someone did, they would probably be scolded to death by the person in charge at home.

Everyone thanked Su Xinmi, and Su Xinmi said that it was all Ji Wei's money, and in fact they each paid half.

Ji Wei spent time on repairing the house, and she spent time on cooking, so this is a win-win cooperation.

Some men, looking at the table full of delicious food, think of their own children; some, who love their wives and are filial, think of their parents and want them to have a taste.

But they couldn't bring themselves to do that. It was already a big gesture by the other party to hold a wedding banquet, showing such sincerity.

Su Xinmi saw that everyone was seated, "Uncles and grandpas, enjoy your meal and drink. I forgot that there is wine here."

Su Xinmi took out cigarettes and alcohol again, and everyone's eyes lit up when they saw the alcohol.

Ji Wei was also very active today, helping to serve the dishes, carry the bowls, and arrange the chopsticks.

It was very lively here for a while. There were many grown men at the table. Su Xinmi was afraid that there would not be enough seats, so she left some people in the kitchen. When she saw Ji Wei had already sat down to eat, she went back to the kitchen.

Liu Xiaoxi was still working in the fields at this time. The more she worked, the more annoyed she became, wondering what Su Xinmi was doing.

Then on her way back, she heard that Su Xinmi had repaired the house today and was preparing a wedding banquet.

Liu Xiaoxi grabbed her aunt's hand and asked, "What did Su Xinmi do?"

The aunt looked at Liu Xiaoxi's dirty appearance with some disgust, "Who are you?"

Suddenly I remembered something, "You are the educated youth who is temporarily living in the villager's house, right?"
