The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 74 (Part 3)

Ye Zhiqing felt better now. Han Guogang was honest and polite. After all, they were once husband and wife. But his attitude was very firm.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see it, but Ye Zhiqing doesn't seem to be aware of it.

"It's Uncle Guogang. If it were someone else, she would be so shameless to hug him in the middle of the night and spit all over her face!" Mrs. Han snorted.

Even so, she still dares to say that she has been struggling and not looking for another one after she got married? Who would believe it? She is so short of men.

Chen Rou didn't say anything. She made dumplings in the morning and buns in the afternoon. After she finished making the buns, she started preparing the New Year's Eve dinner.

This year's New Year's Eve dinner is more sumptuous than last year's.

Brother Han and sister-in-law Han did not come, but ate at home. Chen Rou and Han Guobin ate together with their four children.

Of course, two hearty dishes were also sent to the old house as a token of my thoughtfulness.

After the New Year’s Eve dinner, the children followed their father out to pay New Year’s greetings.

Chen Rou prepared candied winter melon, biscuits and melon seeds, and went out to eat.

Now that Dagui has a TV at home, he comes over to watch TV and chat.

Shuanzi's wife then told Han Guogang that Ye Qian had stopped him again and wanted to go home to have New Year's Eve dinner together.

Of course Han Guogang did not agree, but Ye Qian still went to find Hu Zi and Hu Niu and gave them ten yuan each as New Year's money. However, the brother and sister were very resistant to her and naturally would not take her money, so she could only eat by herself on New Year's Eve.

We chatted a lot here, and when the time was almost up, we went home.

The next day was New Year's Day.

Chen Rou and Han Guobin didn't sleep in because Gu Chengyao and Su Mianmian were coming over to visit and wish each other a happy new year.

At around nine o'clock, Gu Chengyao came with his four sons.

Chen Rou smiled when she saw the four children and said, "It seems that what my mother said is right. These brothers are exactly like you, my third cousin."

Gu Chengyao's temperament was still cold and his face was still as resolute as ever, but he was still as handsome as ever, and his demeanor was not affected by the erosion of time at all. It was obvious that Su Mianmian took good care of him.

Seeing his cousin Chen Rou, he also laughed and said, "Don't these four in your family look like you?"

"That's because our family has good genes. My mother said that we all inherited my grandmother's genes." Chen Rou said with a smile.

Gu Chengyao smiled and asked his four sons to call for help.

Chen Rou smiled and gave everyone a red envelope, then let them all go inside. Then she asked, "Where's Mianmian?"

"Mianmian met an old acquaintance." Gu Chengyao said as he walked into the room.

"Old acquaintance?" Chen Rou asked immediately, "Ye Zhiqing?"

"Is that so?" Gu Chengyao nodded. He heard his wife calling Ye Qian.

Chen Rou didn't say anything. It was a coincidence this year. Her third cousin and Su Mianmian hadn't been back for so many years, and this time they came back just in time for Ye Qian to come back.

She estimated that Ye Qian would feel even more ashamed when she saw Su Mianmian.

She guessed right, wasn't Ye Qian hit hard?

Su Mianmian was raised by her father and mother since she was a child. Later, they went to the countryside together as educated youth, and she tried to compete with her.

When she went back before, Su's father and mother wanted to ask her if there was any news about Su Mianmian, but Ye Qian directly said that she didn't know.

Why, as soon as she got home, her parents asked her why she came back, saying that she was married and there was no place for her in the family now.

But Su's father and mother looked like they were worried about their daughter. Why?

The gap was quite big, but it was gradually made up after Ye Qian went to college and started working.

I thought to myself that no matter how great you, Su Mianmian, are, you are not as good as me as a college student. Once you get married and have children, you're tied down. After all, it's a military marriage, and you can't get divorced easily.

And she still has a wider sky to soar. It remains to be seen who will live a better life in the future!

But Ye Qian didn't expect to meet Su Mianmian today.

More than ten years have passed, but Su Mianmian has not changed much. Over the years, she seems to have been well protected and has lived a good life.

There is brightness between his eyebrows and eyes, without any trace of anxiety caused by life.

She also saw the four children and her husband, the soldier.

Even though she had met many college students outside, it was rare to find a man as outstanding as Su Mianmian.

It’s no wonder that Su Mianmian agreed to marry him back then. This woman has always been very pretentious, much more pretentious than her.

She never thought that she would marry a country man, but in the end she did, and there was indeed a reason for it.

This man hasn't changed much over the years, and his temperament has become more stable with the passage of time. He looks very reliable.

While Ye Qian was looking at her, wasn't Su Mianmian also looking at this neighbor who almost grew up with her?

Yes, just neighbors, not friends.

Ye Qian has always been jealous of her. Although she doesn't understand what she is jealous of, she has always wanted to compete with her.

She also learned from Chen Rou about what happened later, including abandoning her husband and children to return to the city for the college entrance examination.

But now it’s coming back.

Having not seen her for more than ten years, Su Mianmian noticed that she had changed a lot and looked much worse than before.

"Long time no see." Su Mianmian said with a smile.

"It's been a long time since we last met. I didn't expect to see you again in the village." Ye Qian looked at her and said.

"I didn't expect to see you in the village. I haven't been back for a long time, and it's a rare opportunity for me to come back this year." Su Mianmian said with a smile.

"It seems like you've been living well these years." Ye Qian said, and her tone of voice is almost the same as it was back then.

Su Mianmian said, "It's not that good. The whole family is relying on Chengyao alone. I envy you. I'm just a housewife now and don't have my own career. You've been admitted to university. The country also needs talents now. You have unlimited possibilities in the future."

"Really? I don't think you will envy me." Ye Qian said.

Su Mianmian was just being polite. Naturally, she wouldn't be envious. She was doing well the way she was now. Let's just say she had no future.

But she never regretted her decision to marry Gu Chengyao.

Over the years, Gu Chengyao has never let her suffer any injustice, and her four children have grown up now. She feels that her life is complete.

Of course, she does not have her own career, but she is not bored. Now that her children are not young anymore, she has started studying again. She plans to take the teacher's certificate exam again. It would be nice to teach in a kindergarten in the future. It would be like having something to do, right?

As for supporting the family, she is really not needed. Gu Chengyao's allowance is very high. Although the family does not have much savings, the welfare and security are very good. The prices there are not high either, and the children do not have to pay for their education, as they all go to public schools.

Su Mianmian has always been very satisfied with this day.

So when she saw Ye Qian say that, she just smiled and thought to herself, I was just being polite to you, but you took it seriously.

"I was admitted to university, and after graduation, I worked in a state-owned enterprise. I was a director, in charge of a department." Ye Qian continued.

"That's great." Su Mianmian nodded and said, "I heard that a new policy has been introduced. It seems that there is a pension. If you join a state-owned enterprise, you will be taken care of by the state when you get old."

"If your man can stay there forever, he will have a pension in the future." Ye Qian thought her words were quite pleasing to the ear and said.

"Yes, he does have one, and I just rely on him for food and drink." Su Mianmian said with a smile.

Although the two grew up together and later went to the countryside together as educated youth, they really didn't have much friendship. After being so polite, Su Mianmian said, "I'm going to be your guest first, so I won't chat with you anymore."

Ye Qian said: "Why don't you chat a little more? We haven't seen each other for so many years."

"It's very cold outside. Maybe we'll have a chance later." Su Mianmian waved her hand and went towards Chen Rou's house.

Ye Qian glanced at her back with a look of sarcasm and contempt.

How has she become like this after being restrained by her man for so many years?

When she was young, she always wanted to go to college, but now she has become a woman who only works around the kitchen.

She must be lucky to marry a soldier. Military marriage is protected and her husband dare not mess around. Otherwise, how can she live such a carefree life? She looks like a little girl!

But... she also wants to be a little girl, and wants Han Guogang to protect her and pamper her, so that she can be carefree. The outside world is good, and there are many outstanding men, but there is really no honest man.

Su Mianmian came home and after greeting Han Guobin and Chen Rou, she pulled Chen Rou into the house to talk in private.

"Didn't Ye Qian pass the exam? Why is she back?" Su Mianmian said straight to the point.
