Surprise! The rough husband is the hidden boss of the period literature

Chapter 1: Promise of a Lifetime of Pure Happiness

A resounding song rang out from the supply and marketing cooperative's radio: "Unity is strength, this strength is iron, this strength is steel..."

On both sides of the road are low-rise old buildings from the Republic of China era, with large red slogans painted on the walls: "Educated youth go to the countryside, there is a vast world for them to contribute!"

Xu Qinghuan's legs moved very quickly, and the young man behind her caught up with her in a few steps and blocked her way.

"Qinghuan, you misunderstood. Manman and I have nothing but a pure revolutionary friendship!"

The young man was about 1.80 meters tall, with a fashionable 3:7 side-parted hairstyle that revealed a broad forehead. He wore a white Dacron shirt and grass-green military pants. He stood in front of Xu Qinghuan with his head lowered, his eyes filled with endless regret and deep love.

"Nothing? Revolutionary friendship? Ever since she came back, haven't you seen each other three or five times a week?

She doesn't know where Wing On Department Store is, so she asks you to take her there and you go shopping together. She says she's never been to a movie and doesn't know what a movie theater looks like, so you go see a movie together.
She said she wanted to eat the braised pork from the state-owned restaurant. When she was a kid, she used to drool over it. Please treat her to braised pork alone."

Xu Qinghuan looked at the young man sarcastically, "Jiang Chengxu, aren't you afraid of being reported for having an affair?"

Three days ago, Xu Qinghuan was still the great doctor Xu in the 21st century who had worked around the clock to successfully complete three operations. As soon as the operation was completed, she threw herself off the operating table.

Save others, but hurt yourself.

Perhaps because she had saved so many people and done so much good, Xu Qinghuan was transported to a period document written by her best friend. It was a parallel world with a background that was 99% similar to the 1970s, but with different important figures.

It is July 10, 1974, in Shen City, China.

These days, legal married couples don’t dare to get too close to each other when walking on the street, but these two were watching a movie with their heads resting on each other’s shoulders.

Jiang Chengxu's expression changed. "Qinghuan, I'm your fiancé and she's your cousin. That's why I treat her special. I just treat her as my sister."

When Xu Qinghuan saw the person chasing after her, she instantly lost the desire to speak. She turned around and tried to leave, but Jiang Chengxu stopped her again.

Xu Manman had already rushed to her. She had two big pigtails, a white blouse, and calfskin shoes. The two of them looked quite a match standing together.

He first glanced at Jiang Chengxu, and then said,

"Sister, you really misunderstood me and Brother Chengxu. Brother Chengxu was planning to treat you to the movie today and had already bought the tickets, but you said you wanted to go with your classmates. A movie ticket is only 20 cents, so we can't waste it, right?"

What an impeccable reason.

In that era when workers' monthly wages were only 20 or 30 yuan, a pound of rice cost 18 cents with a food coupon, and people generally could not get enough to eat or wear warm clothes, 40 cents was a huge sum of money.

"So, it's my fault!"

Jiang Chengxu hurriedly shook his head. "Qinghuan, don't dwell on this. We don't blame you. I promise to keep my distance from all female comrades in the future and never go out alone with Xu Manman again."

It was Manman at first, and now it has become Xu Manman.

Xu Manman's face was filled with hurt and disbelief, tears welling up in her eyes, "Brother Chengxu, what did I do wrong? Why do you despise me like this?"

Jiang Chengxu glanced at her, with some reluctance in his eyes, but still turned his head away.

He had watched the movie "White Haired Girl" today and found it a bit boring, so he dozed off for a while. It was like a dream, and when he woke up, he found it unbelievable.

In his dream, he, Xu Qinghuan, got married, but they had no children. Later, with the reform and opening up, he wanted a child. At that time, he was considered successful and famous, and Xu Qinghuan was a full-time housewife at home. He then went to bed with Xu Manman, who had been pestering him.

Soon, his mother found out. Before his mother had time to drive Xu Manman away, Xu Qinghuan found out and decided to divorce him.

After marriage, Xu Qinghuan re-entered society. She overcame all obstacles and created a considerable business empire.

Although he did not break up with Xu Manman, he did not marry her either. Instead, he married Lu Nianying.

The reason he and Xu Qinghuan had been married for many years but had no children was that someone had drugged her food.

Lu Nianying gave birth to a son for him. To outsiders, he married a wife of equal status, had a successful career, a happy family, and a mistress who was devoted to him. But only he knew that he was always unhappy.

Xu Qinghuan was his lifelong regret and pain. He would never let go of Xu Qinghuan's hand again in this life.

Xu Qinghuan took a deep breath and looked away.

According to her temper, she should cancel the engagement with Jiang Chengxu right now, but she has no job. According to the current vigorous policy of going to the countryside to work, if she graduates from high school and has no job, she must go to the countryside to farm.

Marrying Jiang Chengxu would allow her to stay in the city.

Xu Qinghuan had never been to the countryside, but he knew it wasn't as good as the city. He didn't plan to make a decision rashly until he had thought it through. He glanced at Xu Manman, who was crying bitterly, and said, "I have something else to do. I'm leaving now!"

Jiang Chengxu hurriedly caught up. He had just finished his life's dream and all he wanted to do was hold Xu Qinghuan in his arms and tell her, "Don't leave me."

"Brother Chengxu!"

The corner of his clothes was pulled by Xu Manman. Jiang Chengxu closed his eyes but still endured and did not shake it off. He really could not be too cruel to a member of the opposite sex who admired him.
"Xu Manman, I'm your cousin's fiancé."

"I know, Brother Chengxu, I don't have any other thoughts. My thoughts... you should understand!" Xu Manman burst into tears.

Xu Qinghuan paused slightly, but finally strode forward. Her beautiful lips curved slightly, with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of her lips.

No matter how much Jiang Chengxu loves Xu Qinghuan, he will always feel a little bit reluctant towards Xu Manman, because this is the tone of the whole book.

If Jiang Chengxu had been loyal to Xu Qinghuan until his death, the book about best friends would have been less than two million words, and it would probably have been finished in two hundred words.

She was tricked by her best friend. When her best friend was writing a book, she couldn't think of a character, so she borrowed her name and portrayed the character according to her image. Perhaps this is the reason why she came here.

The character Xu Qinghuan is neither a vicious supporting actress nor a tragic heroine.

She is the victim of the male protagonist's pursuit of true love, a poor creature who turns grief and anger into motivation, a paranoid who always wants to slap the male protagonist in the face with money, and a lemon essence who sets off the female protagonist's gentleness and generosity.

It was not until the end that she transformed into a sober person who loved men more than the country.

Just as the hero and heroine experienced a life-and-death love affair, got pregnant before marriage, and were finally about to enter the grave... no, the palace of marriage, Xu Qinghuan also achieved success in his career and created his own business empire with the help of the hidden boss in the book.

She and the male protagonist achieved each other's success like two parallel lines, and they won together in life.

Now, Xu Qinghuan no longer feels like he has traveled through time and space in a book.

The life she has now is just as real, because everyone's joys and sorrows here are so real, and her own emotions are so passionate.

Just as Jiang Chengxu was about to catch up again, a bus stopped and Xu Qinghuan squeezed on. The conductor with a military green shoulder bag took five cents from her.

Through the car window, she watched coldly as he chased her for a mile along the road.

He was running in front and Xu Manman was chasing behind. Xu Manman fell down and Jiang Chengxu immediately turned around and ran towards Xu Manman.

Xu Qinghuan withdrew his gaze, and a wave of bitterness surged uncontrollably in his heart.

I don’t know if it’s the remaining emotions of the original body or her own.

The bus turned right at the corner and drove another half a stop before arriving at the back door of the Red Star Cinema. Xu Qinghuan got off the bus, and Lin Xialan hurried over. "How's it going? How's it going? I saw Xu Manman chasing after them. Did she try to sabotage you guys again?"

She was wearing a green military uniform and had two short braids. She looked bright, bold and very neat.

People of this era don't wear bright colors in their clothes; the mainstream colors are white, black, gray, and green.

Xu Qinghuan curled the corners of his lips, "You are wrong, she is not here to destroy us, she is here to join us."

Isn't this the case in the book? After Xu Qinghuan and Jiang Chengxu got married, they were unable to conceive for many years. Xu Manman climbed onto Jiang Chengxu's bed and shamelessly made excuses for herself.
"I don't want to ruin your marriage. I just love you and my sister so much. I can't bear to see you and my sister die without anyone to carry on your legacy. My sister and I share the same blood, so it's only right for me to bear your child."
