Rebirth at 70: I am the rough man’s treasure

After Wu Shengqian left, Yang Xiaotian became more and more angry.

But when she was angry enough, she carefully made herself a bowl of egg noodles and sprinkled them with chopped green onions and coriander, filling the room with an alluring aroma.

She had died once, so she cherished her life very much.

No matter what happens, you can't treat your stomach badly first.

While eating noodles, Yang Xiaotian couldn't help but wonder, what is Wu Shengqian doing now?He was angry early in the morning. Will he be hungry now?

"Yang Xiaotian, you are really worthless! He bullied you like that, why are you worried about him?"

Yang Xiaotian poked her temple and cursed to herself.

After eating, she kept looking at the door.

She didn't want to admit it, but she knew in her heart that she was waiting for Wu Shengqian to come back.

However, a few hours later, Yang Xiaotian did not wait for Wu Shengqian, but Ye Zhengwen.

"Teacher Ye, why are you here?"

Yang Xiaotian quickly stood up, poured hot water for him, asked him to sit down, and then asked politely.

Ye Zhengwen was wearing a straight Mao suit today, and his hair was combed into a three-quarter length, making him look more neat and capable.

He pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and hesitated several times before saying something very abrupt: "Well... Comrade Yang Xiaotian, I heard from the villagers last night that you are not actually married yet, are you?"

Yang Xiaotian felt uncomfortable being asked. She twitched the corner of her mouth and asked with an embarrassed smile: "Teacher Ye, why are you asking this?"

Ye Zhengwen's face was also a little red. He waved his hands repeatedly and hurriedly explained: "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else! I just want to tell you that in the new China and the new society, arranged marriages don't actually count. What's more, you guys This kind of thing that has not yet been proven has no legal binding force."

"What...what is binding force?"

Yang Xiaotian didn't hide her ignorance at all and asked blankly.

Ye Zhengwen admired her magnanimity and explained with a smile: "That is to say, you are not bound by this relationship, you are still free now."

Yang Xiaotian understood a little bit.

She came all the way from other places, and as soon as she arrived at Yangkoupo, she met Wu Shengqian, who happened to be the candidate Chen Lianhua had prepared for her.

So, the two of them got married blindly and lived in the same house directly.

In the eyes of intellectuals like Ye Zhengwen, such a hasty and absurd combination has no emotional basis at all and is a feudal shackles that needs to be broken.

After he said this to Yang Xiaotian, she lowered her head to play with the hem of her clothes for a while, then raised her head, looked at him with extremely clear eyes and said: "Wu Shengqian and I don't have what you said. Emotional foundation. However, he is a good person, and after we lived together, he also took good care of me. I am very satisfied with my current life and have no intention of asking for any freedom."

Ye Zhengwen's face darkened.

He said hastily: "But he was once a prisoner in a labor camp."

"Teacher Ye, you also said it was once." If Yang Xiaotian talked to Ye Zhengwen calmly before, now she was a little angry to defend Wu Shengqian. "The government released him, which shows that the government believes that Now that he has reformed, there will be no problem. Why, reform-through-labor prisoners must remain with others for the rest of their lives and are not allowed to progress?"

Ye Zhengwen was stunned.

He was very happy when he learned about Yang Xiaotian's life experience and current situation.

First of all, Yang Xiaotian didn't pull any evidence, which means he still has a chance.

Secondly, in his opinion, the way Yang Xiaotian and Wu Shengqian were combined would not produce any feelings.What's more, Wu Shengqian was dark, thick and fierce, and had been in a labor camp, which made him feel that Yang Xiaotian would not like Wu Shengqian.

With these two ideas in mind, Ye Zhengwen came to her house with the mentality of saving Yang Xiaotian.

But seeing Yang Xiaotian's attitude, he suddenly realized that he was wrong.

Yang Xiaotian cares about Wu Shengqian, and she cares very much.

Otherwise, she would not be so eager to speak for Wu Shengqian, even a little dissatisfied and aggressive.

Yang Xiaotian also found that she was speaking irritably, so she quickly and embarrassedly corrected her words: "Well... Teacher Ye, I was a little impatient just now, and what I said didn't sound nice. Don't take it to heart."

"No, you are right, I am too biased."

Ye Zhengwen looked like a gentleman and still said with a smile.

On this trip, the hope he had just ignited was extinguished again, and he could only stand up and say goodbye.

Before leaving, he took out another painting and gave it to Yang Xiaotian and said, "You can keep this as a souvenir, and treat it like we are friends."

The painting was shaken away by Ye Zhengwen.

Yang Xiaotian took a look and saw that it was her portrait above.

Her facial features, expression, and body shape were exactly the same as hers, except for her clothes. Instead of the rustic little floral jacket she was wearing now, Ye Zhengwen replaced her with a small suit like a city woman, which made her look fashionable and beautiful.

Yang Xiaotian glanced at it and suddenly remembered another painting that Wu Shengqian tore up, and immediately said: "Forget it, it's not good if I keep asking for your paintings in vain."

Of course Ye Zhengwen knew that this was an excuse to refuse.

He asked with some disappointment: "Why? You accepted the picture of pine trees yesterday, but this picture is of you, but you refuse to accept it?"

Yang Xiaotian refused to accept it, only half because she was afraid that Wu Shengqian would be angry again. Of course, she couldn't tell outsiders about this.

And the other half of the reason is because she only likes the picture of pine trees.

She told Ye Zhengwen truthfully: "I said that I am uneducated and I really can't understand poetry or paintings. I liked the pine tree yesterday because it reminded me of my own man."

Ye Zhengwen opened his mouth and his eyes dimmed for a moment.

He did not expect that his so-called soulmate did not exist. The girl was interested in his painting because of her lover.

"In that case, I'm leaving."

Ye Zhengwen smiled mockingly and turned around to go out.

When he left, he didn't notice a sneaky figure hiding under the jujube tree not far away.

That is Yang Qingqing.

This morning, when Ye Zhengwen was asking around for Yang Xiaotian's address, Yang Qingqing overheard him.

She followed Ye Zhengwen quietly all the way and saw him entering the courtyard of Yang Xiaotian's house.

Seeing this scene, she wanted to report to Wu Shengqian, but she was afraid that he would blame her in turn.

After all, she was really scared by this reckless man last time, and now that she thinks about it, her neck aches.

So, Yang Qingqing found Chen Lianhua's silly son Amu, taught him some talking skills, gave him a piece of candy, and asked him to go to the sheep farm to find Wu Shengqian and spread the news.

Amu has been gone for a while, and counting the time, Wu Shengqian should be back soon to "catch the traitor".

But now, Ye Zhengwen is gone, why doesn't Wu Shengqian come back?

Yang Qingqing was in a hurry, and whatever she thought of came quickly.

Wu Shengqian was striding towards him from a distance with a fierce look on his face. Looking at his posture, he seemed to want to tear down the house.
