Raising Babies in the 70s - Chapter 130

“I didn’t expect you to get married in just a year.”

“When would my women introduce me to someone?”

Wang Yuanzheng smiled, thinking that my girl was really powerless.

Zhou Wei looked around, he found that the colony courtyard was very good. Some of the small yards were especially beautifully maintained, and he was even more envious that Lao Wang had his own house in the colony courtyard, and could go home to hold his wife.

He was so envious.

“Does Lu Yan also live here?” Zhou Wei and Lu Yan had a normal relationship. They played together when they were young. Later, when his father was transferred, he also left long ago. They didn’t get along for a long time, just a little bit of their childhood friendship was still there.

Zhou Wei only kept in frequent contact with a brother of the same age next door, and learned something about Lu Yan from him.

“Yes, he is also living here. He should not be at home at the moment. If you go to my house, you may see his wife.”

“His wife?” Zhou Wei was curious about how Lu Yan’s wife looked like.

Lao Wang said that Lu Yan fell in love with his wife at first sight, and Zhou Wei was in disbelief.

Brother Lu could still fall in love with someone at first sight?

Was Lao Wang trying to fool him? Lao Wang was honest, but sometimes his words were not always true.

Back in the military academy, there were so many women who liked Lu Yan. Zhou Wei had heard of his reputation, and some girls even asked him to inquire about Lu Yan… But brother Lu was very sullen, devoted to the sea. The piece of iron would not be sympathetic to those beautiful girls, and would be too lazy to answer.

“Yes, his wife Xiao Qin gave birth to a pair of boys.”

“A pair of boys?” The long-standing Lao Wang did not have kids, but the guy Lu Yan actually had two children?!

“Yes, you can see his two sons later. They look exactly the same.”

‘What am I doing in this colony home? Isn’t this looking for suffering? Why do I need to see the newlyweds, or someone’s twin sons?’

Zhou Wei followed Wang Yuanzheng to his house, a beautiful small yard. Those slightly newer houses were a little smaller than Lu Yan’s, and beyond that were buildings.

The two entered the Wang House. Zhou Wei, who had been in the camp for a long time, saw men every day. It was the first time he had seen so many beautiful women.

Among them, the most beautiful was the woman in a simple white shirt. She looked extraordinarily young, with jet-black hair pulled back, a melon face, fair skin, and extraordinarily beautiful eyes. She was charming and when she spoke, her voice was even more pleasant. 

There was actually such a beautiful woman, even more beautiful than the girl of the art troupe he saw the previous time.

Who was so lucky to be her husband?

A woman saw Lao Wang coming back with a strange man, and quickly asked, “Comrade Wang, who is this next to you?”

“My comrade, Zhou Wei.”

“Hello, women.”

“This is from the Sun family…that’s Lu Yan’s wife…this is my wife,” Wang Yuanzheng introduced them to him one by one, and after the introduction, he only stared at his wife Xue Xiaohui, smiling brightly.

Looking at it, Lao Wang still  thought that his wife, Teacher Xiao Xue, was the best!

Zhou Wei: “??!!” Lu Yan’s wife? Lu Yan’s two sons?!

His old friends from childhood, all married and had children.

 Zhou Wei thought to himself, ‘I am not jealous, definitely not jealous.’

His sadness couldn’t be contained. He pulled Lao Wang aside. He really wanted to know one thing, “Dude, please tell me, how can I marry and move into the colony as soon as possible?”

Wang Yuanzheng lowered his head and whispered, “You could go to Lu Yan’s place to get some good luck from him.”

“Get good luck?”

“I got married thanks to his advice…”

“Without him, I really couldn’t get married.”

 Zhou Wei: “…Really?”

That was Lu Yan? Lu Yan acted as a staff advisor. What kind of counselor was he?

Although Zhou Wei wanted to verify Wang Yuanzheng’s words, Lu Yan was not at home. He had a task at the garrison area, so he could only give up. He could only go to Lu Yan’s house next time to have a look and get together with his old childhood friend.

Qin Rou took the two kids back from the Wang House.

Since Xue Xiaohui moved into the family’s courtyard, when Xia Mingxi and the others went to school, they often met Teacher Feifei who rode a bicycle to work.

Every time the happy Xia Mingxi shouted from a distance, “Teacher Feifei, good morning!!!” Everyone’s eyes would fall on Xue Xiaohui.

Xue Xiaohui greeted him with a shy face.

Sometimes Qin Rou snickered when she saw that. She couldn’t help but think of the teachers who graduated from various schools and complained, especially the elementary school teachers. The most polite student in the class was in a corner while the students came to watch the teacher as if they had discovered some strange creature, stood in front of them and shouted, “Hello, Teacher XX.”

Although they experienced the big typhoon in early September, in December, Qin Rou’s yard had changed a lot. 

The swing in the courtyard was covered with yellow woodsy flowers, which were tall plants that cover the top of the swing like a rainbow. The fragrance of flowers drifted far away.

The floral scent was like vanilla ice cream, and it smelled great on that not-so-cold “winter” day.
