Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

”In that case, we just won’t tell Auntie,” Ning Chenguang agreed.

The next day, the affair between Liu Qiaoqiao and Zhao Ergou was known throughout the entire village.

Whoever saw Liu Qiaoqiao couldn’t help but curse her behind her back, but it was precisely because of this that Liu Qiaoqiao’s husband also returned.

As a result, the neighboring house of He Fusheng was filled with nothing but fights and scoldings, and in less than two or three days, they were divorced.

When Liu Qiaoqiao packed her things to go to her parental home, it was said that even her own son wouldn’t spare her a glance.

Her son resented her for doing such a shameful thing, causing him to be unable to hold his head up in the village.

Liu Qiaoqiao left, but Zhao Ergou, being a bachelor, was not afraid of losing face. At worst, he got a beating, and then stayed in the village.

But such matters were consensual, not forced, so both sides bore some responsibility. Liu Qiaoqiao’s husband beat Zhao Ergou half to death and then let him go.

With the annoying neighbor gone, the days at He Fusheng’s were much happier than before.

.........

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month of military training had passed, and the training results were quite good.

Yan Huan and Tan Xiaomei had accumulated a considerable amount of material, and after returning to the army, they had a lot to write about.

What made Yan Huan happiest was that after being apart from Ji Chuan for more than half a month, she could finally return to Nancheng.

Finally, she could see Ji Chuan, who she missed day and night.

Although during their last call, Yan Huan had already forgiven Ji Chuan, she never called him back again after that.

Why use the words ”call back”?

The reason was that every time Ji Chuan called the command center, no matter how many people went to call Yan Huan, she stubbornly refused to pick up the phone.

Not only did she not answer the phone, but she also didn’t call back.

Ji Chuan’s actions didn’t move Yan Huan, but instead, they exhausted the people at the command center.

Later, people simply stopped answering the phone.

As soon as they heard Ji Chuan’s voice, they immediately hung up.

It wasn’t that Yan Huan didn’t want to answer the phone; every time she heard Ji Chuan’s call, her little heart would almost jump out.

She also wished she could hug the phone and talk sweetly non-stop.

But she had to let Ji Chuan learn a lesson and remember that she, Yan Huan, is not someone easily coaxed.

This time it was unintentional, but if the same thing happened again, she definitely wouldn’t give Ji Chuan a second chance.

The punishment had already lasted long enough, and as the vehicle finally pulled up at the army’s entrance, Yan Huan was the first to jump off the vehicle and said to Tan Xiaomei, ”You take our interview materials back first, I’ll make a quick stop at the hospital before returning.”

”What’s wrong, Officer Yan, are you feeling unwell?” The warriors in the vehicle teased Yan Huan playfully.

”None of your business,” Yan Huan rolled her eyes at him and turned to leave.

Walking away, she heard the warriors laughing behind her.

”Officer Yan really does seem unwell! She’s caught a case of lovesickness, hasn’t she?”

”Can lovesickness be treated at the hospital?”

”Of course, it can! But you need to find Dr. Ji, the military doctor. He’s the only cure for lovesickness!”

Yan Huan couldn’t help but chuckle at their lively banter and lowered her head, quickening her pace.
