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

"Nian Nian, do you want to go to school?"

An Nian looked at Li Youmei in surprise.

Li Youmei met her gaze and said with a smile.

"You have such a good talent, it would be a waste if you don't study. Our family still has some connections. If you are willing, we can get you a good student status.

But you'd better start in junior high school. Nowadays, everyone starts studying late. There are many people who go to junior high school in their [-]th or [-]th grade. It won't be too sudden for you to enter the school. "

An Nian was a little moved. She remembered that her mother said that girls should study more so that they can have more choices in the future.

"Mom, I'm married, can I still go to school?"

"What's wrong? The state doesn't stipulate that married people can't go to school. As long as you want to, our whole family will support you to go to school!"

Li Youmei is very open-minded.

"As long as our children want to study, their parents will support them. Lu Yuan and his three siblings only came to work after they read that they didn't want to study anymore.

However, none of our children are good at reading. "

Her cheeks were slightly red, a little embarrassed.

"Ayuan only went to the first year of high school, and the leap was even worse. She couldn't go to junior high school. Shengnan, on the other hand, finished high school, but she was unlucky. The country canceled the college entrance examination.

However, now that the college entrance examination has resumed, maybe you can become the first college student in our family. "

How honorable it is to say this!

Thinking of this, Li Youmei's eyes lit up, and her washing movements became more agile.

"Okay. Mom, I want to study. I want to take the college entrance examination."

An Nian's eyes burst with firm belief.

Isn't An Qian proud that she was admitted to Beijing Normal University?Then she will also take the college entrance examination, and even do better than An Qian!

This inexplicable comparison mentality made An Nian full of fighting spirit at this time.

"Be ambitious!" Li Youmei wiped her hands, "In the afternoon, mom will go and ask you what information is needed for admission."

"Thank you mom."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law decided to study and looked at each other and smiled.

After working in the kitchen for nearly an hour, a nutritious lunch was ready.

An Nian and Li Youmei each carried a basket and went out to deliver food to Yu Luyuan's brother and sister.

The two of them were talking and laughing as they walked out of the alley. When they turned the corner, Li Youmei said "Huh".

"Nian Nian, do you think that is your cousin?"

Cousin?An Qian?

An Nian looked in the direction she pointed and saw An Qian's figure. The two shiny black braids on her head were very eye-catching.

"Why is the man next to her so angry?"

Li Youmei frowned unhappily.

This is not the point. The point is that An Nian's impression of An Qian is that she is a very aloof person, with a condescending and arrogant attitude. What she likes are bookish and handsome men, such as the good-looking male educated youth in the village's educated youth center.

But the man standing next to her had a gangster look on his face, and his facial features could only be described as ordinary, with nothing outstanding about him.

Moreover, he was not standing, his bent leg was shaking constantly, and he was holding a cigarette in his mouth. As he spoke, the cigarette swayed up and down, which showed no temperament at all.

An Qian would never take a second look at such a man before.

An Nian narrowed his eyes slightly, and the sense of disobedience he felt in An Qian came to his mind again.

"Never mind?"

Although Li Youmei was talking, she didn't stop walking. When she realized that An Nian was lagging behind, she turned back in confusion.

An Nian came back to her senses, followed her footsteps, and spoke with a smile.

"Mom, I want to get a haircut."

Li Youmei looked at the roots of her withered hair, nodded and said, "You should get a haircut. You are so young, a student haircut will definitely look good."

"Really?" An Nian touched his hair, a little envious of An Qian's braids.

"It's true!" Li Youmei came over and looked at the roots of her hair. "The roots of your new hair are black. Cutting off the ends will definitely make it more beautiful. Mom will go with you to cut it this afternoon. We've finished it. Just go to school and ask."

As promised, after delivering the meal to the hospital, Li Youmei took An Nian to the barber shop.

Getting a haircut these days costs money.

Li Youmei took out the ticket from her pocket and looked at the barber with a smile.

"Master, you must give it a nice haircut. It's not easy for us rural people to come to the city."

The master checked the invoice and nodded in a good manner.

"Your girl is pretty, and her hair would look great with a little modification. Come, little girl, sit here."

An Nian obediently sat down in front of the mirror. The master took a large scarf and placed it under her neck. She touched it curiously.

"Sister-in-law, can you cut it to this length?"

The master was keenly aware of who among the two was in charge, and asked Li Youmei with a smile before cutting off the scissors.

An Nian had already decided on Liu Yumei's hair style on the way here and sat quietly at this time.

Li Youmei stood by the stool and looked at An Nian in the mirror.

Blocked by the scarf, An Nian's face looked even smaller.

The master stroked his left hand upwards neatly, and An Nian's hair was grasped in his palm, forming a large bundle.

"The little girl's hair is very full. It's just a little dry and yellow, but new hair has grown from the roots. It looks pretty good. Just cut off the lower part and let it grow longer."

The master made a gesture with the scissors in his right hand and placed the tip of the knife on An Nian's ear.

"Cut it here? Is it too short?"

Li Youmei was a little hesitant. They had previously discussed getting a student's haircut, which would be as long as the neck.

"It's best to cut it here. From here on down it's a little yellow."

Li Youmei looked at An Nian: "Nian Nian, what do you think?"

An Nian looked at herself in the mirror, stretched out her hand and touched the hair beside her ears.

The master is very keen. This section is indeed the dividing line of hair. It feels smooth when going up, and dry and rough when going down.

"can."

The master smiled and felt very satisfied.

"You heard me right. Don't worry, you two. The little girl has a beautiful face and short hair.

And the length is not too short. It will grow long in a few months and you can wear a ponytail by then. "

Seeing the master's assurance, Li Youmei gritted her teeth and said, "Okay! Master, you must cut it well."

"Do not worry."

After receiving a positive answer, the master cut off the scissors neatly.

In the 70s, barbershops were all public institutions, and the masters were well-organized, and they had to be really good at their skills to be able to sit down.

It only took 10 minutes for An Nian to become a different person.

The long hair turned into short hair, and the ends fell beside the ears. From the front, it looked a bit like a cute student's head, but from the side, it looked really neat.

This hairstyle seemed to be tailor-made for An Nian. It fit on her small face and perfectly highlighted her facial features.

The long, withered hair fell on her cheeks and covered her beautiful eyebrows.

At this time, with her short hair, her eyebrows could no longer be obscured. Under her curved eyebrows were a pair of clear, big eyes, which looked extremely clear when looking at people.

Although her facial features are soft, her eyes seem to be full of pure temptation, making people unable to look away.

When she stood up from her seat, the entire barber shop was silent for a moment.

Then, a young girl who had just stepped into the store was moved.

"Master, I also want to cut my hair short! That's what she looks like!"

Master: "..." Can he say that this has nothing to do with hairstyle?Can you look at the difference in appearance between the two of you?

Li Youmei held An Nian's hand excitedly: "It's so beautiful! Mom will trim your eyebrows and put on lipstick later. It will definitely stun your brother."

An Nian's cheeks were slightly red.

The barber shop Li Youmei chose is the largest in the county and has all kinds of equipment.

The master heard that Li Youmei wanted to trim An Nian's eyebrows, so he took them inside.

There is only a thin curtain separating the inside room from the outside, ensuring privacy while ensuring ample lighting.

An Nian sat on the stool, obediently motionless, and let Li Youmei use the eyebrow trimming knife to make gestures on her face.

While they were busy, another guest came outside.

"Master, please trim the ends of my daughter's hair. Don't cut it short, just trim the bottom part."

"Okay, simple trimming, just one ticket."

"Give you."

Inexplicably, An Nian felt that this woman's voice sounded familiar, so she listened attentively.

There was a lot of noise outside, but the woman was led to the innermost position, and her voice came in clearly.

"Qianqian, what are you thinking about? What's so good about that Wu Jinyao? He's a little gangster who has nothing but a county household registration."

"Mom, what do you know? He is very capable. As long as you give him a little chance, he will definitely flourish."

It's An Qian's voice!

An Nian frowned slightly.

"Don't move, I might hurt you."

Fortunately, Li Youmei was very careful. When she noticed that An Nian had moved, she immediately took the blade away, otherwise it would definitely leave a cut on her eyelids.

"Oh."

An Nian moved, straightened her back and maintained her posture, but her mind had already left.

Outside, An Qian looked left and right in the mirror, instructing the master on where to cut the scissors, with contempt for her mother in her voice.

"Mom, don't mind my business. I'm much smarter than you. The man I choose must be the best in the world."

If she wants money, power, and loyalty, she will give everything for whoever she falls in love with.

This time, she must become a woman who enjoys everything, and she must be happy all her life.

Zhang Xiujuan was hesitant when her daughter said this. Is there really something special about Wu Jinyao?

Not wanting to hear more from her mother, An Qian changed the topic.

"Mom, have you checked? Has the money arrived?"

Sure enough, when it came to money, Zhang Xiujuan's attention immediately shifted.

"Arrived."

She took out a passbook from her pocket, opened it carefully, and looked at the amount that came to the door. She couldn't stop smiling.

"Qianqian, you said this textile factory is really interesting. After all these years, they are still paying child support to An Nian. She is already twenty this year."

"Oh, they have money. If they just give them some money, they can gain a great reputation and let the workers in the factory give everything for the factory."

Capitalists never dare to trade at a loss.An Qian snorted disdainfully, but she was not stupid enough to say this.

In the 70s, the word "capitalist" could not be mentioned casually.

An Qian carelessly touched the ends of her hair, which had become tidy again, and couldn't move her eyes away from the young and beautiful face in the mirror.

"Mom, can you believe it? Next time there is a fire, there will definitely be many people in the textile factory rushing in."

After looking at the mirror several more times, An Qian reluctantly looked away and stood up.

"Okay, Mom, let's go. I want to eat the braised pork from the state-owned restaurant."

"Okay, let's go eat now."

It’s the money brought by the strong wind anyway.Zhang Xiujuan is not merciless at all when it comes to flowers.

"After we finish eating, let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a new pair of shoes for your brother."

Their voices gradually faded away, but An Nian's thoughts were completely confused.

"Nian Nian? Nian Nian? What are you thinking about? Are you so lost in thought?"

After being pushed several times by Li Youmei, An Nian came back to his senses.

"Mom, did you know that the textile factory will pay me alimony every month?"

Li Youmei was stunned by her question: "I haven't heard of it. Didn't it say that the factory paid a one-time compensation of 200 yuan?"

"Yeah, I've never heard of it either..."

An Nian lowered his head and clenched his fists.

No wonder the An family kept scolding her as a freeloader and a drag, but they kept supporting her and didn't let her starve to death.

Otherwise, just because An Nian's brain is not good, over the past 12 years, the An family has really used countless ways to make her die quietly.

It turns out that there is a reason for their kindness.

"Mom, if I want my child support back, what should I do?"

Li Youmei was stopped by her question, thought for a while, and said, "How about we go back and ask Sheng Nan? She works at the county committee and knows a lot. But in this case, we won't be able to go to the school..."

"The school matter is not urgent. I want to figure out the alimony issue."

An Nian made the final decision.

-

In the ward.

Yu Shengnan was half lying on the bed eating fruit. After listening to her sister-in-law's question, she thought about it.

"If the textile factory paid monthly support to your sister-in-law, they must have put it into the bankbook in your name."

"That's it! Sister-in-law, go to the bank with your ID card and say that you have lost your passbook and want to report the loss."

Yu Shengnan sat up straight and continued.

"If you have an account in your name, bank staff will ask you to confirm whether to report a loss."

An Nian opened her eyes wide and listened carefully.

"Then should I report the loss?"

"Yes! You report the loss directly, so that the passbook in the hands of the An family will become invalid, and they can no longer take out a penny from it. Then, sister-in-law, please apply for a new passbook and hold the passbook in your hands."

As Li Youmei listened, she always felt uncomfortable.

"This way I can only get an empty bankbook. Can't Niannian recover the alimony for the past 12 years?"

Yu Shengnan smiled bitterly: "Mom, my sister-in-law was only eight years old when her parents died. The child support given to her by the textile factory must have been kept by adults. There is no problem for the An family to use my sister-in-law's passbook to withdraw money from the bank.

After all, they have ostensibly raised their sister-in-law for 12 years, and we have no way of pursuing the details. "

The bottom line is that An Nian has no evidence.

She could not prove that she had a bad life in An's family, nor could she prove that the An's family did not raise her.

On the surface, she did live in Anjia for 12 years and grew up smoothly.

After traveling for so long and recovering his memory for more than ten days, An Nian already has a preliminary understanding of this world.

It is much fairer and more just than the world of cultivation.

From An Nian's point of view, governing the country according to law is very good, very good. This is the protection of the weak.

Here, An Nian doesn't have to worry about being casually wiped out because of his lack of cultivation.

This sense of security is enough to cover up the An family's grievances, which cannot be dealt with according to one's own mood.

An Nian nodded slightly, even with a smile on his lips: "It's okay, let's take it step by step slowly."

Based on An's family's character, they can't be content. They will reap whatever they sow, and they can wait.

Li Youmei and Yu Shengnan thought she was talking about reporting the loss and getting a replacement passbook.

"That's right, sister-in-law, don't be anxious when you get to the bank. Take your time. It's not difficult to get a replacement passbook."
