Military Marriage in the ’70s: The Aloof Officer’s Sweetheart Chapter 2

Chapter 2

Aunt An’s house is not far from Jiang’s house. It is a small courtyard with two entrances and two exits. As Jiang Yule knocked on the door,

A young male voice came from inside the door

“Here it comes”

The door was opened, and what came into Jiang Yule’s eyes was a dark-skinned but very handsome boy. He looked at Jiang Yule in disbelief, then came to his senses, turned sideways and shouted in surprise, “Mom, Yule is here!”

“Come in quickly. You’re here so late. Have you eaten? We still have some meat bones that we cooked during the day. I’ll heat some for you and make you a bowl of noodles.” The young man left the door open to Jiang Yule and headed for the kitchen.

At this time, Jiang Yule also recognized who the person was and hurriedly stopped him, saying, “Brother Jiashu, please don’t be busy. I came here after dinner to see Aunt An.”

“Okay, then come in quickly. My mother always talks about you. She must be very happy to have you here.” Zhou Jiashu warmly invited Jiang Yule to come in, and did not forget to take the gift from Jiang Yule.

“Brother Jiashu, are you back from vacation?” Jiang Yule asked. In her memory, Zhou Jiashu was Aunt An’s eldest son. He went to the army early and she only saw him once a year. It was a coincidence that she came back today.

“Yes, Zhou Jialin fell down some time ago and no one was taking care of him, so I just took annual leave and came home to rest for a while.”

“Ah? Jialin is injured? Is he okay?” Jiang Yule exclaimed. Zhou Jiashu is two years older than Jiang Yule. Compared with familiarity, the original owner is more familiar with Zhou Jialin, who is the same age as him.

“It’s okay, I’m very strong,” Zhou Jiashu said nonchalantly. Just as he was about to continue chatting, he saw Aunt An rushing out of the house happily, without even having time to put on her shoes.

“Auntie An, please slow down.” Jiang Yule watched Auntie An staggering out and hurried forward to support her.

“Hey, it’s okay, it’s okay. How are you doing recently, girl Le? Auntie An has been wanting to visit you for a while, but I’m afraid you don’t want to see Auntie An.”

“Aunt An, I’m fine. Look, I’m fine.” Jiang Yule looked at Aunt An’s red eyes. He didn’t know if it was influenced by the original owner or something else, but his eyes couldn’t help but feel sore and his heart became more aggrieved.

“Mom, Yule rarely comes home, let’s not talk about this anymore,” Zhou Jiashu comforted her. His mother had been very sad recently because of Jiang Yule’s parents’ affairs. She finally recovered a little. He didn’t want his mother to think about those unhappy things with Jiang Yule again.

What’s more….he saw that Yule came today and seemed to have something to say…

“Yes, yes, let’s not talk about this. Let the past be the past. We have to look forward, our eyes are in front of us.” Aunt An wiped her tears, patted Jiang Yule’s hand, and led people into the house.

“Jiashu, there is some milk in the refrigerator. Take it out and give it to Le to heat up. Girls should drink more milk, it is good for their health.”

“Okay,” Zhou Jiashu responded and went to the kitchen

Jiang Yule did not refuse. She still had something else she wanted to do to get rid of Aunt An. She had to owe her a favor, and she didn’t need to care about these little things.

“Yu Le, why are you here with Aunt An today? Is there something going on?” Aunt An calmed down and naturally noticed that Jiang Yu Le was hesitant to speak.

When Jiang Yule saw Aunt An speak, he told her everything the original owner’s aunt had done. Before she could talk about the house, she saw Aunt An angrily slap the table, making the cups clink.

“These filthy people don’t even care about my brother’s only child. Just wait, I’ll find someone to deal with them for you.” Aunt An stood up and rolled up her sleeves as if she was going to have a fight with the eldest aunt of the Jiang family in the next moment.

Zhou Jiashu, who entered the room later, also heard the general idea. His handsome face was tightly knitted. He didn’t expect that Uncle Jiang’s sister would be such a money-hungry snob.

“Aunt An, don’t worry.” Jiang Yule pulled her back to her seat and continued, “Aunt An, I have something I want to ask you for help with today.”

“You said it, Auntie An will definitely help if I can.” Auntie An was panting, and she couldn’t suppress the anger that rushed to her head.

“Aunt An, I want you to help me find someone to sell the house. It would be best if you could find someone with some influence, so that I can handle it when my aunt comes knocking on the door.”

“That won’t work. Where are you going to live if you sell the house?” Aunt An frowned and said disapprovingly.

“Aunt An, I’m going to the countryside. My eldest aunt has already applied for the quota, so I can’t run away. I’ve also visited the street office. The place I’m going to is a commune in the Eastern Province. It’s quite wealthy, so it won’t be too hard.”

“How can this be possible! How can I feel at ease if a little girl like you goes to such a far place alone? Just listen to Aunt An. Aunt An will find a way to get you a list of people who will go to the countryside. Your parents are martyrs, so there is room for maneuver. As for your eldest aunt, Aunt An is here and will never let you be bullied.”

“Aunt An, I don’t want to stay here…” Jiang Yule suddenly said, lowering his head with deep sadness all over his body. As for going to the countryside… his name has been reported, and the day after tomorrow is the departure date. Even if there is room for maneuver, it will not be easy. Jiang Yule does not want to embarrass Aunt An and Uncle Zhou.

On the other hand, for Jiang Yule, she had to leave because her personality was very different from the original owner. If she stayed, she would be discovered sooner or later. Moreover, in a few years, the young people who went to the countryside would be able to return to the city, and she would be back soon…

But Aunt An felt sad when she heard this.

Yes, although this is her hometown, it is also her sad place.

“But…but going to the countryside…” She still felt that going to the countryside was not appropriate. How could a spoiled little girl who grew up in the city bear to go to the countryside to farm?

“Auntie An, don’t worry, I will take good care of myself. I have a lot of money left by my parents. When I get there, I can support myself by just pretending to work and earning some work points. Besides, my father taught me martial arts, and my mother taught me medical skills. I am capable of taking care of myself.”

“Oh, this is all caused by this incident.” Aunt An sighed faintly, but seeing that Jiang Yule had the right idea, she had to agree.

“Why don’t you just keep this house? You can’t be without a place to live when you come back later.”

“Let’s talk about the future later. My aunt is keeping a close eye on this house now. If I’m not here, I’m afraid I won’t be able to keep it…” As for the future… she has so many gold bars and supplies in her space. When she returns to the city, buying a few courtyard houses is not a small matter. So she must not let her aunt take advantage of this now.

“How much do you plan to sell the house for?”

Jiang Yule thought for a moment and continued, “My house is not small. I originally planned to sell it for 800, but my aunt will inevitably cause trouble in the future, and I am in a hurry to sell it. I will sell it for 700.”

Although the sale of houses is not allowed at the moment, the population of Beijing is dense, and children need a place to live and get married when they grow up, so houses are still in short supply. Jiang Yule’s house is very good in terms of location and size, so 800 yuan is already a low price.

“800 is too low. 700 is not enough. Let me give you 800 first. I will sell the house to you slowly. I will definitely sell it to you at a good price.” Aunt An said, and then she got up and went back to the house to get 800 yuan, and some national general coupons for rice, flour, grain and oil, and gave them to Jiang Yule.

“Take all of these. You’ll need them when you get there.” Auntie An didn’t care what was in the money and stuffed it into Jiang Yule’s bag, not forgetting to hold it tightly to prevent her from returning it to her.

“Yu Le, listen to Aunt An and keep these things. It’s not like the city. Although you can earn some work points and have money in your hands, you can’t do without tickets.”

Auntie An’s tone was very worried. For some reason, Jiang Yule suddenly thought of the original owner’s mother. If she could have been more concerned about the original owner like Auntie An, things like this wouldn’t have happened today…

The hand pressing on the bag clenched unconsciously, and the eyes were slightly red. “Auntie An, I’ll keep it. Thank you, Auntie An.”

Jiang Yule said, taking out the property certificate from his bag and placing it in front of Aunt An, “Aunt An, I will go with you to transfer the ownership tomorrow morning. No matter how much it is sold for, you just keep it.”

“We’ll talk about the future later,” Aunt An said perfunctorily. As for the money, she planned to send it to her after receiving it.

“You can stay at Aunt An’s place tonight. You will need to buy some things when you go to the countryside. I will ask your brother Jiashu to go with you tomorrow.”

“Okay, I’ll bother Auntie An tonight,” Jiang Yule said coquettishly. She was originally worried about where to stay tonight, and now it’s just right…

“Why are you disturbing me? Then sit down and chat with your brother Jiashu. Auntie An will clean up your room for you.”

“Okay, thank you Aunt An.” Jiang Yule watched Aunt An enter the house, then looked at Zhou Jiashu, thought for a moment, and continued, “Brother Jiashu, please take care of the house for a while. My eldest aunt is willing to sacrifice everything, and I’m afraid Aunt An will get hurt.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll change the lock tomorrow. If she dares to go in, I’ll call the police and sue her for trespassing. She’ll have a hard time.” Zhou Jiashu had been a soldier for several years. When they first met, he looked kind, but now that he was talking about business, his aura was terrifying.

“Then thank you, brother Jiashu.”

“Okay, okay, don’t thank me. You just said thank you when you came in today.”

“This is my military telephone number and address, as well as my home number. I probably have less than two weeks of vacation left. If you have anything, just call the military or home.” Zhou Jiashu said as he tore a piece of paper from the notebook on the table next to him, wrote a big stroke, and then handed the note to Jiang Yule.

The care the Zhou family showed her warmed her heart. She, Jiang Yule, accepted the Zhou family’s kindness on behalf of the original owner and would repay them a hundredfold in the future.

On the other hand, Jiang Yule came here, helpless, even if these warmth were not for her, but it was enough for her to be greedy.

After the matter was settled, Jiang Yule felt relieved. After Uncle Zhou came home, he told the story again, showing his disdain and contempt. It was not until late that Jiang Yule went to the room prepared by Aunt An to rest.

Perhaps what happened that day was too outrageous. Jiang Yule lay in bed for a long time without falling asleep. Thinking of the things in the space, Jiang Yule’s mind moved, and the space immediately appeared in his mind. He went through the materials in the space in a cursory manner.

Rice, noodles, grain, oil, clothes, cloth, electrical appliances, pots, bowls, ladles, basins, skin care products… Everything available on the market is available here to a greater or lesser extent.

Even now, the jewelry, antiques, and gold bars she kept in the safe are still there.

Buying jewelry and gold bars is probably her only hobby besides studying medicine, so these jewelry are enough for her to have no worries about food and drink in this era.

Not only did she have enough food and drink, she even had her biggest hobby! Jiang Yule saw the shelf of surgical equipment! !

Jiang Yule was extremely happy. She had thought that even if she became a doctor in this era, she would not be able to use the sophisticated instruments of the 21st century. She did not expect that the man even had all of these!

Jiang Yule looked at the things in the space with great satisfaction. The more he looked, the more proud and delighted he became. He didn’t know who the “he” in the original owner’s mouth was, but as far as these materials were concerned, Jiang Yule had a very good impression of “he”.

Just as Jiang Yule was strolling in the space in a smug manner, she glanced at the small boxes that she had not had time to look at during the day.

“Tianxianzi? What is this?” Jiang Yule muttered. He saw these three words written on the six small boxes. Jiang Yule opened one of them and saw a small wax-sealed pill the size of a fingernail in the middle of the box.

In addition, there was a piece of paper folded into a small piece. When it was opened, there was a line of small words written on it:

Tianxianzi: Expels toxins from the body, gets rid of the old and welcomes the new, and is reborn. Eating it when healthy can prolong life, and eating it when critically ill can cure all diseases.

“Wow, that’s amazing, I guess I have a few more lives,” Jiang Yule said, moving his fingers slightly, pinching the pill open and swallowing it without thinking.

Her body had probably been damaged a lot due to worrying about her parents over the years, so she might as well try this pill to see if it would work.

However, after taking the pill, Jiang Yule did not feel anything wrong, so he ignored it and searched around in the space again. He felt slightly sleepy, so he left the space and fell asleep.

That night, Jiang Yule dreamed of her modern parents. She watched them attend her funeral, saw her brother’s child being born a few years later, and saw her parents helping her brother raise the children, who were a pair of very cute twins. The scenes flashed by, and Jiang Yule saw her parents’ past lives. Except for her, the daughter who died young, her parents had a smooth life without illness or disaster.

When Jiang Yule woke up, she felt light all over. The shackles that had been lingering around her yesterday seemed to have disappeared. Her parents were safe, so she no longer had any worries…

“Huh~ 70s, here I come,” Jiang Yule said to himself in a cheery tone.

After changing her clothes and getting out of bed, Jiang Yule went to the bathroom to wash up. When she looked in the mirror, she felt that her skin seemed to be whiter and smoother, but it was not very obvious. Jiang Yule thought that she had a good sleep last night and her complexion was a little better, so she didn’t think it was the effect of the fairy.

“Yu Le, get up. Auntie An has prepared breakfast. I wonder if it suits your taste. Come and try it.”

“Aunt An, where are Uncle Zhou and the others?” Jiang Yule looked around. It would have been fine if Zhou Jialin had gone to bed early yesterday, but why was he nowhere to be seen so early in the morning?
