Rebirth 1975: My Wife is Love-Brained

Zhu Dakang waved his hands, "What's that? I have the final say over this Xinhua Bookstore! No one cares! As long as you don't go out and shout, no one will bother to take a second look!"

"That's good, that's good! I was afraid that it would cause you trouble!" Chen Yan said embarrassedly.

Zhu Dakang said with a straight face, "I'm not helping you for nothing! You have to give me a bag of food every day, or I won't let you sell it!"

"Haha! Okay! Uncle Zhu, don't just say you want to eat one bag, I'll give you two or three bags!" Chen Yan said with a smile.

He knew that Zhu Dakang was helping him and said this on purpose just to relieve himself of some psychological pressure.

Chen Yan silently kept this favor in his heart.

Putting aside other things, the cinema sells that much in a day, and Xinhua Bookstore sells a little less, so thirty or twenty packs should be OK.

In this way, the cost of his popcorn business has actually been reduced!

"It's noon now, Uncle Zhu, let me treat you to a meal. You've helped me so much!" Chen Yan looked at the time and said to Zhu Dakang.

Zhu Dakang shook his head, "Maybe some other time! I'll treat you to a meal some other time! Look at my belly!"

As he said this, he touched his belly embarrassedly!

Just now, two bags of popcorn went into his stomach without him noticing, and he is now very bloated.

"Haha! Although this thing tastes good, you can't eat too much. Be careful of stomach discomfort! Uncle Zhu, you can't do this again in the future!" Chen Yan said.

"I know too! My stomach is so bloated right now and it's uncomfortable! Haha! You kid! Okay, go eat! I'll accompany you, I'll lie down on the small bed inside for a while!"

As he spoke, Zhu Dakang walked towards the office.

There is a small bed inside the bookstore office. Many units have this arrangement these days.

It looks quite humane.

After saying goodbye to Zhu Dakang, Chen Yan planned to go to the state-owned restaurant to eat a bowl of noodles.

But after riding his bike for a few steps, he suddenly changed his mind and turned around to ride to the cinema.

"sister!"

The movie theater had just ended and Han Meimei was off work, planning to go home for dinner.

As soon as he walked out, he suddenly saw Chen Yan and heard Chen Yan calling him. He was stunned for a moment.

"Chen Yan, why are you here?"

"Sister! Are you going home for dinner after get off work?" Chen Yan did not answer Han Meimei's question, but asked instead.

"Yes! I go home to have a bite, every day! There are few people in the cinema, unlike other units that have canteens!" Han Meimei said with a smile.

Chen Yan suddenly asked in a low voice, "Sister! Do you like braised pork?"

"Braised pork is naturally fragrant, who wouldn't smell it? I... um? Why are you asking this? I haven't asked you yet, why did you come to me? I thought you had already returned to the village!" Han Meimei almost drooled as she spoke, but then she reacted and looked at Chen Yan curiously.

"No! I just came from Xinhua Bookstore! There is a job there these days, and I can do it! I'm not thinking about lunch, I have to go out to eat, but it's boring to be alone! I just want to see how you plan your lunch!" Chen Yan said with a smile.

Han Meimei was stunned after hearing what Chen Yan said.

"You, you said you were helping out at the Xinhua Bookstore?"

"Yeah! What's wrong?" Chen Yan asked.

Han Meimei looked Chen Yan up and down, "Educated intellectuals are different! Oh! I really didn't expect it! Chen Yan! You are so capable! Awesome! You are worthy of being my, Han Meimei's, younger brother! You can actually help out at a place like Xinhua Bookstore! Wow! That's amazing!"

Han Meimei had a happy smile on her face.

"It's just temporary help! Come on, sister! Get in the car, I'll take you to the state-owned restaurant! Let's eat braised pork today!" Chen Yan patted the back seat of the bicycle.

Han Meimei then asked, "Did you borrow this bicycle, or is it your own? It's brand new!"

"It's mine! I used to come here by cart, but later I found it inconvenient, so I bought a bicycle!" Chen Yan explained.

This made Han Meimei very excited!

"Oh my god! Chen Yan! You are so capable! Really! Although your brother-in-law rides a broken bicycle, it belongs to the cinema. He is only allowed to use it once a month when he goes to the countryside to show movies! He usually locks it up for fear of breaking it! I didn't expect you to buy a bicycle yourself."

"It's not a valuable thing. Where I live, everyone rides a bicycle to work!"

Chen Yan asked Han Meimei to sit in the back seat, and then the two of them went to the state-owned restaurant while talking.

Han Meimei felt like a completely different person when she sat on the bicycle.

"This bike is so fast!" she couldn't help but exclaim.

Soon! The two arrived at the state-owned hotel!

Chen Yan asked Han Meimei to go in first while he found a place to lock his bicycle.

"Then hurry up!"

Han Meimei said this and walked in first.

She had already smelled the aroma of the braised pork, and she was already hungry at noon, so her stomach was growling.

Chen Yan locked his bicycle and was about to go inside.

Someone beside him suddenly called out, "Chen Yan!"

Ok?

Chen Yan turned around and looked at the man standing to the side, and couldn't help asking, "Are you in the city to buy something?"

Chen Yan naturally knew that person, Shen Xinyue!

"Chen Yan, who was that woman just now?" Shen Xinyue asked, staring at Chen Yan.

Chen Yan frowned, "My sister! What's wrong!"

He thought that the woman had already returned to the city, but he didn't expect that she hadn't left yet. Instead, he saw himself and Han Meimei coming here to eat.

"Your sister? Chen Yan, do you think I am Qin Yurou? I believe whatever you say! You are an educated youth who came here to work in the countryside and have no relatives. You tell me this is your sister? You are so shameless! You can just go with a country woman like Qin Yurou! At least she is still young! I really didn't expect that you have such a heavy taste that you actually got together with a woman in her forties!" Shen Xinyue said coldly, with a gleam of joy in her eyes!

Last time Chen Yan rejected her!

After Shen Xinyue returned, she felt very unhappy!

She didn't know if Chen Yan had a seizure or what? She had already said that if they returned to the city together and Chen Yan's family could arrange a job for her, she would marry him. She had told Chen Yan all this before.

Every time Chen Yan saw me, all he could see was me.

In the words of the locals, it was Shen Xinyue, as a woman, who had bewitched Chen Yan!

But she never expected it!

When the time came, Chen Yan actually changed his mind and quit!

why!

Why!

I'm a city person, how can I be inferior to Qin Yurou?

Shen Xinyue was very unhappy during this period!

However, she had already discussed with Wang Fusheng at the educated youth point that the two of them would return to the city together. After returning, Wang Fusheng's family would be able to arrange for her to work in the Grain Bureau!

Wang Fusheng’s second uncle is a leader in the Grain Bureau!

But even so, Shen Xinyue still felt unwilling.

Chen Yan treated her like that before, and she hated him to death in her heart.

Today, I was supposed to accompany Wang Fusheng to the county town to handle some procedures for returning to the city. After completing the formalities, Wang Fusheng said that he wanted to invite Shen Xinyue to the state-owned restaurant to eat meat sauce noodles and taste some meat!

Shen Xinyue also knew in her heart that Wang Fusheng was showing goodwill to her.

If it were in the past, if she had someone like Chen Yan, she would not have paid any attention to Wang Fusheng at all.

But now, someone invited me to eat pork noodles, so I would rather eat it. Besides, if I give Wang Fusheng some benefits, he will feel at ease to take me back to the city, right?

At this moment, Wang Fusheng went to the toilet, and Shen Xinyue was waiting at the door. Unexpectedly, she saw Chen Yan riding a bicycle here with a middle-aged woman!

Shen Xinyue felt waves of nausea!

What followed was uncontrollable anger!

Chen Yan would rather find a woman in her forties than find me? Why, why!
