1970s: Hot wife accompanies the army, cold-faced rough man is not easy to tease

Chapter 11 How do you walk!
Without any constraints, Lu Youyou went to the commune that day.

When Xue Mingliang heard that her marriage partner was Gu Qingye, he was extremely enthusiastic.

There was also a middle-aged staff member from the Propaganda Department who asked someone to help her complete the formalities. He was concerned about how she could suddenly get married, reminded her to be careful on the road, and even bought her train ticket.

It was not until this moment that Lu Youyou realized that she had someone "above her" and she felt a little amused and helpless.

How many secrets did the miserable characters in the original book hide? Her arrival is like opening a blind box.

Lu Youyou acted quickly. She packed her bags and rushed to the station the next day after completing the formalities.

A woman with a sallow complexion and plain clothes appeared on the platform, but she did not attract anyone's attention.

Based on her rich experience in novel reading, Lu Youyou bought a set of clothes that was as low-key as possible, and smeared clam oil mixed with pot ash on her face.

I stuffed all the messy stuff into the villa and only took some necessities with me for the trip.

Lu Youyou looked around the station curiously, when suddenly a kind-looking lady came over.

"Big sister, are you alone?"

Lu Youyou really wanted to pretend to be mute, but felt that she couldn't hold on for twenty hours, so she could only feign shyness and say "hmm".

I don’t know if this lady is talkative or what, but once she starts talking she can’t stop.

"Big sister, I'm telling you, when the bus stops, you'll have to squeeze in. Don't queue up properly, or else your seat will be taken by someone else!"

The old lady grabbed Lu Youyou and pulled her away from the team that didn't look like a team at all, and she fought her way to the front through all the obstacles.

Lu Youyou quickly covered most of her face with a headscarf, fearing that she would rub off the ash from the pot.

Before she could say anything, the train slowly pulled into the station, singing the tune of "Seven or eight, seven or eight."

This was the first time Lu Youyou saw a 70s diesel locomotive with her own eyes. The front of the locomotive looked like a huge firecracker.

She wanted to look at the antiques again, but the surging crowd didn't give her the chance, especially the enthusiastic lady who followed her and pushed the things up desperately.

Lu Youyou had never even taken the subway at 8 a.m., let alone a train with so many bags and so small that it was crowded with not only people but also chickens, ducks and geese.

When Lu Youyou finally got on the car, her headscarf was askew and there was a white feather stuck on her shoulder.

The old lady looked at her with dismay: "Sister, you can't do this. Haven't you heard the slogan? Work hard and strive to be the best. You have to fight when it's time to fight!"

Lu Youyou couldn't help laughing: "Auntie, thank you so much!"

If the old lady had not been quick-eyed and strong enough to lift the tripod, she would have been swept away by the cage of chickens and ducks.

"What's the big deal? It's only natural to help each other when we're out and about!"

The car was as packed as a can of sardines. Lu Youyou struggled to find a seat, but unexpectedly, the old lady was right across from her.

"Oh, what a coincidence! That's great!" The old lady was still as enthusiastic as ever. "Where are you going, big sister?"

"I'm going to South City."

"The final stop, that's a long way to go. Are you going to visit relatives?"

Seeing that Lu Youyou didn't say anything, the old lady smiled and said, "Don't mind me. I work at the neighborhood office. I'm used to gossiping about other people's affairs every day."

Lu Youyou smiled awkwardly but politely. She didn't think she was socially anxious, but this lady was simply the worst of the worst.

Besides, she couldn't speak.

Anyone who's ridden a green-skinned train in the heat of summer knows the stench of sweat, foot odor, and a hint of chicken shit. Every breath is an exquisite pleasure. Lu Youyou pulled out a simple mask, covering it with a layer of washed-out fabric, playing it safe.

Facing the old lady's surprise, Lu Youyou whispered, "I had a cold before and it hasn't healed yet. The doctor told me to be more careful."

"No wonder you don't like to talk. Your throat must be sore. Do you want me to get you some hot water?"

Lu Youyou quickly shook her head. She was unable to resist the old lady's enthusiasm, so she chose to pretend to be asleep. After all, there were only a few pieces of clothes in the package, so she didn't have to worry about thieves.

"Hmm--seven, eight, seven, eight--"

The train started again, slowly and swayingly. Lu Youyou, who had been pretending to be asleep, soon fell into a dream.

In her dream, she pulled out the tendons and skinned a handsome and beautiful little turtle. The little turtle bit back and laughed wildly. As he laughed, his green eyes turned into a pair of pitch-black pupils, and then turned into Gu Qingye's face. He glanced at her contemptuously and said - you're looking for death!
Lu Youyou was so angry that her lungs exploded. She came to save you with good intentions, but you dared to bite me and scold me!
In her dream, she fought with Gu Qingye, but she couldn't hit him. She suddenly woke up when she was as tired as a dead dog.

Lu Youyou wiped the sweat from his forehead, and froze immediately when he saw that his fingers were covered in black ash.

She glanced around and felt relieved when she saw no one was paying attention. She took out some clam oil and covered her face with a headscarf to secretly "touch up her makeup".

There was loud conversation in the carriage accompanied by the cackling of chickens, ducks and geese. It was not so unpleasant after getting used to it. The lady sitting opposite me was not sitting in her seat either. It seemed that she had found someone to talk to in the next room.

Lu Youyou took out an enamel cup to get some hot water, and the old lady kindly showed her the way.

After swaying past several carriages, I saw seven or eight people queuing at the tea room door.

Lu Youyou was standing against the wall. The man in front of her was wearing a neat Zhongshan suit and even brought a leather suitcase to fetch water.

Soon another woman came up behind her. She was in her thirties and had a very ordinary appearance, except for her bright eyes.

Lu Youyou was daydreaming about what would happen after joining the army, and when she came back she realized that she and the Zhongshan suit were in the same direction.

In less than half a minute, the woman caught up and quickly surpassed Lu Youyou.

Lu Youyou took a quick look and saw that the woman was walking very fast with the water in her hand, and she didn't even sway at all on the wobbling car.

He must have practiced some light martial arts, his lower body is so stable.

Before she could finish her sigh, she was slapped in the face.

At the connection between the carriages, the woman suddenly tripped and bumped into the man in the Zhongshan suit.

The Zhongshan suit suddenly burned his hand, and he threw the bag away with a wave of his arm.

Lu Youyou watched the shiny black bag flying towards her. She raised the cup as far as she could as quickly as possible and subconsciously put her other hand in front of her.

With a thud, the bag fell to the ground, and screams of pain and tears flew.

To be more precise, it was Lu Youyou's hand that was "attacked".

The bag must have weighed dozens of pounds. Not only did she fail to catch it, but her finger bones were also hurt by the impact.

The hot water was so thick that it was hard to tell who had spilled it, but the man in the Zhongshan suit didn't even bother with his soaked trousers and leather shoes. He rushed over and hugged the suitcase in his arms.

"How do you walk!"

The man in the Zhongshan suit was so anxious that he wiped the water off with his sleeves and subconsciously wanted to open the bag to check, but he withdrew his hand as soon as he touched the zipper.

The man in the Zhongshan suit glared at the woman, wanting to cut her into pieces. As for the innocent Lu Youyou who was implicated, he didn't notice her at all.

The woman looked anxious and took out a handkerchief to help wipe it, but the man in the Zhongshan suit quickly turned around and avoided her, not giving her any chance to touch him.
