Rebirth 1975: My Wife is Love-Brained

The two returned to the village, and Chen Yan was sweating profusely from exhaustion.

I made up my mind to ask Qin Yihu to buy a bicycle as soon as possible, because being a rickshaw driver is not easy.

I don’t know why, but Qin Yihu is actually not much heavier than Qin Yurou.

It's just a few dozen kilograms.

But when Chen Yan carried his wife on his bicycle, he didn't feel tired at all.

But when I was driving my second uncle, I was so tired that I wanted to die.

After having dinner at his father-in-law's house, Chen Yan and Qin Yurou returned to their own home and simply washed up. Chen Yan asked Qin Yurou to go to bed first while he continued to translate the manuscript under the kerosene lamp.

I recently calculated that I need to spend money in many places, and I can't slack off at work. As a man, I can never be without money in my pocket.

Otherwise, nothing can be done.

Chen Yan was very clear about this.

Qin Yurou felt a little distressed just looking at Chen Yan writing something at his desk under the kerosene lamp.

She walked behind Chen Yan and gently hugged Chen Yan's neck, "Chen Yan, why don't you go to bed early?"

Chen Yan put down his pen, raised his head and kissed Qin Yurou on the face, "Wait until I finish this! We are going to build a house in a few days, and it will cost a lot of money, and I also plan to..."

"Can we just not take those?" Qin Yurou suddenly said to Chen Yan.

"Why? Why not?" Chen Yan asked.

Qin Yurou shook her head. "Life is much better now than before. You haven't been in good health. I'm afraid you're exhausted!"

Chen Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and then his heart felt warm.

He thought Qin Yurou was thinking about something, but he didn't expect that she was worried about him.

"It's okay! This amount of work is fine for me! I won't collapse! I still want to live a good life with you. For our happiness, I won't collapse! Don't worry, Xiaoyu!"

"But there is one thing you should ask our father!"

Qin Yurou immediately asked what was the matter.

"Ask Dad if he can bring the power lines over to our side so we can get some electric lights. This kerosene lamp is really terrible and it makes my eyes hurt. Although the electricity bill is a bit more expensive, it's better than this!"

"It should be no problem. I will discuss it with Dad tomorrow!" Qin Yurou nodded.

Chen Yan was busy until after eleven o'clock. He originally wanted Qin Yurou to go to bed early, but the girl refused to agree and stayed with Chen Yan.

Chen Yan was moved but also felt a little distressed.

"It's okay. You don't mind being so tired. I don't have anything to do during the day! I read all day today, but I can't find many textbooks. I'm afraid I won't be able to pass the exam because my foundation is not solid." After lying down, Qin Yurou leaned in Chen Yan's arms, stretched out her hand to draw circles on Chen Yan's chest, and said a little worriedly.

Chen Yan retracted his arm, hugged Qin Yurou in his arms, and said with a smile, "It's okay, just make do with it for the next two days. I've asked Uncle Zhu from Xinhua Bookstore to help find a set of textbooks! Then you can review with peace of mind!"

"Really?"

"Really? And my wife is so smart, and her grades in school were not bad. She will definitely be able to get into college!"

Haw!

Qin Yurou excitedly kissed Chen Yan on the face. Even in the dark, one could feel her excitement.

"Then I can get into university and go to the city. I'm so happy!" Qin Yurou said happily like a little girl.

Late at night, the two of them were in this small mountain village, imagining their future happy life.

This is probably the true meaning of happiness.

Early the next morning.

The small mountain village of Zhangzitou welcomed the first rays of sunshine in the morning amid the crowing of roosters, accompanied by mist and smoke from cooking.

There were several holes in the paper-pasted window, and the sunlight seeped in and sprinkled on Chen Yan's face. He opened his eyes and subconsciously touched his side.

Qin Yurou is no longer here.

"young married woman!"

Chen Yan called out in a daze, but no sound came out.

He got up and found that Qin Yurou was no longer at home.

What about people?

Just when Chen Yan was feeling suspicious, a ding-dong sound came from the yard.

When Chen Yan opened the door, he found his father-in-law Qin Guisheng and his second uncle Qin Yihu, walking in from outside with a few people.

"Dad, second brother, what are you doing?"

Qin Yihu said, "Xiaoyu came here early in the morning and said that it was inconvenient for you to work at night and you needed to tie up a light. My father and I called a few people to pull the wire for you!"

Chen Yan was stunned on the spot.

He just discussed it with Qin Yurou last night, but he didn't expect that Qin Yurou would do this as soon as the sun rose today.

While they were talking, Qin Yurou walked in from outside with a blushing face.

Seeing Chen Yan, a smile immediately appeared on his face, "Chen Yan, you're up! Why don't you sleep a little longer!"

"I'm not sleepy anymore after waking up! Why did you go to the old house so early in the morning? This matter is not urgent!" Chen Yan asked while grabbing Qin Yurou's hand.

Qin Yurou chuckled, "It doesn't matter whether it's morning or night, so finish it early. You don't have to light a kerosene lamp when you write at night. I heard that if you stay up late at night to write in bad light, your eyes will be damaged!"

Chen Yan kept in his heart all the kindness Qin Yurou had shown him.

At this time, Qin Yurou went inside to make breakfast. Chen Yan washed his face and then started to help.

The village had electricity a few years ago, but only a few households had wires.

Firstly, electricity is too expensive and no one can afford it.

Secondly, the high-voltage lines are connected to the village and a transformer is installed. However, if you want to connect the lines to your home, the team and you have to pay for the lines yourself.

So the team had electric lights, after all, they needed to make broadcasts from time to time, or to announce some activities.

Some people who live close to the transformer have electricity in their homes, but those who live far away do not.

The place where Chen Yan and his family lived was quite far away, and at that time, Chen Yan and Qin Yurou's daily life was supported by the Qin family. Where would they get the extra money to afford all these?

In addition, Chen Yan was only thinking about returning to the city at the time and didn't consider these things at all.

Qin Guisheng walked up to Chen Yan and said with sweat on his forehead, "I calculated that we can hang the wires with three poles! Erhuzi and his men went to the back mountain to cut down a few trees, and when we come back to smoke them, it will basically be done! It will be done today! But as for tying the wires, there is no electrician in our village, so we have to go to the commune to find an electrician!"

"No need to find an electrician, I can do this wiring myself! Now all I need is an electric meter, light bulbs, pull-box switches and the like for home use. I'll buy them when I go to the county town today!" Chen Yan said with a smile.

When Qin Guisheng heard that Chen Yan could tie the electricity himself, his face suddenly became strange.

"Is there anything you don't know? How come you know everything?"

Chen Yan smiled sheepishly, "I learned that when I was in school!"

This is not true!

The truth is, Chen Yan in his previous life was a true practical man! After returning to the city, he developed step by step and became a scientist across multiple fields. Mechanical and electrical engineering was just one of his research directions, which was within his professional scope.

It’s just a matter of pulling a wire and connecting a light bulb. It’s not difficult at all, okay?
