Raising Babies in the 70s - Chapter 98

Qin Rou also asked Lu Yan curiously because of that, seasickness could be overcome, but what if one couldn’t swim? How could they learn to swim? What to do then? Could a landlubber be a navy?

Of course, once one was in the sea, where could they swim to?

The correct self-rescue way when falling into the sea should be by holding a floating board or other life-saving tools.

After Head Chief Lin learned about Xiao Wu’s partner, he also came to their house to apologize on Xiao Wu’s behalf, saying that Xiao Wu and Sun Mingli of the Sun family were separated, and the Sun family also paid back all the dowry clothes they had received before.

After Sun Mingli returned that day, she was in a state of anxiety all day long. She was afraid that both sisters would tell Xiao Wu through Head Chief Lin. In the end, she couldn’t hold back and told Xiao Wu, asking him what to do.

And when Xiao Wu heard it, the man naturally couldn’t accept that kind of thing. It was okay for them to brag outside, but they talked nonsense. How could he stay with such a woman?

Sun Mingli begged him bitterly, but Xiao Wu didn’t accept it, and their marriage was off.

“You don’t even want to tell others my name? Am I an embarrassment to the Sun family?”

“You better find a husband who won’t embarrass you.”

Head Chief Lin was also speechless when he found out about it. He was a little apologetic to the Lu family. After all, many of Lu Yan’s affairs were told to Xiao Wu by him.

“I didn’t expect there to be such a shameless woman.”

Qin Rou went to ask her sister Qin Mian, who said that Sun Mingli came to take her clothes away, but Sun Mingfang never came to show her face again.

After learning that Sun Mingli’s marriage broke down, Qin Mian was not happy either.

“I don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing.” 

The sisters didn’t want to have contact with the people in their hometown, and they didn’t want to let the people in their hometown know how well they were doing. They didn’t expect that they would meet Sun Mingfang when they came to the Island. 

“Sister, so what if we know? We have long lost contact with our hometown.”

“Even if they come to us, just ignore them.”

If her stepfather and family dared to appear in front of them, they would threaten them to send them to jail.

As for the grandma’s family, Qin Rou didn’t have much memory of her, but Qin Mian did.

“Even if we are on the island, they can’t find us if they want to.”

Qin Mian didn’t want to talk about these things, so she asked her sister to stand up and try on the clothes, “How about you come and see this dress? It is made from my old clothes. Don’t dislike it.”

Qin Rou: “So big.”

It was too large, wasn’t it?

“That’s right, you haven’t shown much of your pregnancy yet. After a few months, your belly would be so big.”

The end of the year, although there was no atmosphere of the cold winter and the twelfth lunar month, it was also true that they entered the new year, 1972, completely and thoroughly.

The colony became lively, many more people came to visit relatives, and many people left, and went back to their hometown on vacation to celebrate the New Year. 

Huahua and Political Commissar Liu brought their child Liu Yue back to their hometown. Huahua never planned to go back to her hometown before, but she changed her mind.

Because she had now become a “female driver”, and she was admitted as the “driver” by her own ability. It could almost be said that she had reached the sky in one step. She was driving a tractor in the village, and she could drive a four-wheeled car.

Huahua was not a person who could hold back.

She had to go back to her hometown and tell the villagers in her hometown that she, Li Qinghua, was no longer the illiterate Li Qinghua she used to be.

“Xiao Qin, I can’t bear to part with you,” Huahua pulled Qin Rou and said, but she didn’t talk to Political Commissar Liu on the side.

Political Commissar Liu felt really sour.

Now, his little wife’s lips only had the words: “How is Xiao Qin?”, “How is Xiao Qin so good?”. If not anything else, then the radio.

She was specially used to listening to Xiao Qin’s voice.

For that matter, Political Commissar Liu also consulted with Chief Lu, hoping that Chief Lu could find a way, “Let your wife praise me more.”

Chief Lu: “…My wife didn’t praise me but you want her to praise you?” You are dreaming!

“Let your wife praise me more in front of my wife.” Political commissar Liu said humbly, “My little wife had praised you enough in front of me, Comrade Xiao Lu, you have to pay it back.”

“You have to earn it yourself.” Chief Lu patted Political Commissar Liu on the shoulder, “Look at the Zhang family’s courtyard.”

Political Commissar Liu: “…”

The courtyard of the Zhang family was really scary, but still everyone thought that the husband was sincere and commendable.

The man really wanted to make a beautiful yard for his wife. Even if… the ending was not satisfactory, but at least he tried his best.

Such hard work!

Political Commissar Liu felt very sour, “You only need to do laundry and make steamed buns, while we have to take care of the yard.”

Lu Yan: “…I also want to go home and sleep with my wife every day.”

Political Commissar Liu suddenly felt that he had made a comeback.

“Chief Lu, I’ll see you later. When I come back from my hometown this time, I will be the only one in my wife’s lips.”

Lu Yan said, “Bless you.”
