Shuttle Seventy: Sweet Wife

Chapter 44 - gossip, bad habits



“Looking at your temperament, you must be from a big city!” a woman said.

“However, I didn’t hear that there are relatives in the city in the Li team. The people from our villages are all born and raised in the countryside, except for a few educated youths from the team.” Another woman said in confusion. .

Another young woman also asked, “Are you here to visit the educated youth?”

In the concept of four people, there will be no one who can go from the city to the village to visit relatives, except the educated youth, but so far I have not heard that the educated youth still visits relatives in the countryside. Generally, people in the city are reluctant. Go to the country dear.

The three villages are next to each other. Because of the reasons for mutual marriage, they naturally have contacts. No matter which team is on, everyone knows how much. If anyone has relatives in the city, it must have been rumored long ago. .

“No, Sister Jing is here to visit and take care of Brother Gao, a soldier who is recuperating on our team.” Li Xiaomei answered with pride to prevent them from guessing randomly. Brother Gao is an excellent and honorable soldier, not a few educated youths Than.

Li Xiaomei doesn’t know these women either. She has been to the town two or three times, so she will know and remember people, and the production teams in the neighborhood, except for the production team Wang Team of the village, should be familiar with them. I am not very familiar with other villages and have never been there!

“Soldiers? Gao? Which production team in Ojicun are you from?” A woman in gray asked with a puzzled look.

“We belong to Team Li.” Li Xiaomei replied.

One of the round-faced young women asked curiously, “Soldiers? Are there still soldiers in your production team? Why did you come to your team to recuperate?”

“Brother Gao injured his leg during a battle. I don’t know the exact reason, but I just heard that it seems that the king’s team has no spare housing, so it was placed on our team Li.” Li Xiaomei admitted frankly. He said that this is also what her parents said a few words, and she is not clear about the specific reasons.

“That’s a pity, the leg was injured, it must be very serious, and I was placed in our countryside to recuperate. It is estimated that there is no hope of returning to the army.” Another young woman with big eyes sighed regretfully.

When Jing Qing saw Li Xiaomei’s answer, she didn’t bother to talk. Besides, she didn’t know much. It seemed that he didn’t want to talk about Gao Shen’s family, and she didn’t want to ask more questions.

“Big Brother Gao’s legs are much better. Sister Jing is here to treat Big Brother Gao’s leg injury. Big Brother Gao will definitely be able to return to the army!” Li Xiaomei retorted with a calm expression, Big Brother Gao was an extremely tall image in her mind, and she did not want to. Someone said so.

Seeing Li Xiaomei’s gloomy expression in her heart, Jing Qing couldn’t help but feel happy. She never thought that this little girl was still a fan girl! Also, the soldiers of this era are very popular, not to mention Gao Shen is tall and handsome.

“I can’t believe that you can still have medical skills, girl! It’s amazing!” the round-faced young woman exclaimed.

“I know a little bit, but I’m not very proficient!” Jing Qing said with a smile.

Afterwards, Jing Qingxin sat quietly beside the car, admiring the idyllic scenery. Fortunately, the weather has warmed up now, otherwise the cold wind would blow on her face, and the ox cart had no shelter like a carport, then How painful the skin is!

Jing Qing laughed to herself in her heart, and the four women beside her were chatting with each other even more happily, yes, they were all women!

Jing Qing asked Li Xiaomei next to her in a low voice, only to find out that in this rural area, unmarried women have two braids, and married women have their hair tied together, while most people in the city have short hair with equal ears, similar to The kind of student’s head, or it is a braid, but there is no distinction between identities like in the countryside.

Although Jing Qingxin probably knew it before, and knew that in the early decades, people usually married very early, in the rural areas at the age of fifteen or sixteen, but Jing Qing was still surprised, looking at the two young men. The girls are not very old, only about seventeen or eighteen years old, but from the content of their chats, I know that they are all mothers of children.

“Sister Jing, do you have an engagement?” Li Xiaomei approached Jing Qingxin’s ear and asked in a low voice.

“Don’t scare me, I’m in my youth, and I haven’t enjoyed my good years yet. How could I put constraints on myself so early!” Jing Qing said heartily, her face full of disapproval, she’s not like this ideas of the age.

Of course, she did not reject marriage, but she felt very unhappy and deeply sighed at the blind marriages of this era, arranged marriages, baby marriages, child brides, and even marriages such as business and marriage!

She has seen many records of this in history books. How many innocent women’s youth, and even their lives, have been buried in such a marriage? In such a marriage, the biggest victim is not the woman!

“Sister Jing is so beautiful and capable, there must be a lot of people coming to ask for marriage!” Li Xiaomei said jokingly, feigning a righteous look.

Jing Qing couldn’t help but chuckle and said, “You little girl, how old are you, and you are talking about betrothal and marriage, why? Could it be that your family has already betrothed you?”

Hearing this, Li Xiaomei’s cheeks turned slightly red, her face was shy, she lowered her head slightly, and said in a low voice, “I’m not a little girl, I’m sixteen.”

Looking at Li Xiaomei’s shy appearance, she couldn’t help but be surprised, right? Getting engaged at the age of sixteen? She is still studying at sixteen! Of course, different times have different age markers.

Although, in her time, eighteen years old only represented formal adulthood, and she was still relatively young, but due to the particularity of her family, the environment and experience she grew up in, she and her brother’s hearts were forged early, naturally Compared with his peers, his mental age is a few years older.

“Aunt Li, Uncle Li, I have already engaged you? Do you agree?” Jing Qing couldn’t help holding Li Xiaomei’s hand and asked.

“Not yet, but my mother said that we can start seeing each other this year, and we can do it next year.” Li Xiaomei replied in a low voice, blushing.

Jing Qing was slightly relieved, and said rightly, “Xiaomei, you are still young, don’t worry! Marriage is equivalent to the second rebirth of a woman, so you must be careful.”

“Well, I see, Sister Jing.” Li Xiaomei replied in a low voice. Although she didn’t quite understand, she believed what Sister Jing said was for her own good!

While everyone was chatting, the bullock cart finally arrived at Anzhen slowly, and stopped under a big tree on the side of the road at the entrance of the town. Jing Qingxin finally saw the two-story building, although there were only two or three floors. building.

“Alright, we’ll gather here at 11 o’clock! If it doesn’t arrive, the old man won’t wait!” Uncle Zhou urged the six people on the ox cart.

Everyone responded, and immediately walked off the ox cart with hands and feet neatly on the back, hugging each other, holding their own items.
