 Lin Xiaoman was born in Xiaoman, the year of the founding of the People's Republic of China, on May 21, 1949, the 24th day of the fourth lunar month in the lunar calendar.

The story begins on May 21, 1970, the 17th day of the fourth lunar month, which is Lin Xiaoman's 21st birthday.

That day Lin Xiaoman was still in his sleep when he was woken up by a loud noise, making Lin Xiaoman, who was not fully slept and was a little nervous about getting up, annoyed.

Lin Xiaoman's temper is not good, especially every time he can't sleep until he wakes up naturally, he gets very irritable, but this noisy sound came from the kitchen, Lin Xiaoman knew in his heart that it was the sound of Zhu Guoping getting up early to make breakfast for her, Maybe something was accidentally knocked off to make the sound.

This made her want to get angry and couldn't let it out. Lin Xiaoman, who was not full of sleep and woke up when she woke up, couldn't lose her temper. Lin Xiaoman was full of anger and uncomfortable, so she woke up with a very pale expression on her face. It's ugly, like someone owes him a few hundred dollars and doesn't pay it back, with the face of a late mother.

At this moment, Lin Xiaoman saw Zhong Liqin next door, who just like her from the countryside to join the army, a "good wife and good mother" with a gentle temperament and a beautiful appearance.

Why do you say that about her, the other party and she can be said to be completely different! A person of character, Zhong Liqin has a good temper, and she always smiles when she talks to anyone. She is the number one outside the family, and even the children of her husband's ex-wife are very close to her. She is the ideal daughter-in-law in many people's eyes. Candidate, wife candidate.

Lin Xiaoman is different. His appearance is bright and attractive, and he is more aggressive. He is the kind of appearance that attracts opposite sex and repels same sex, and is the kind of appearance that will not be included in the selection of daughter-in-law.

And her temper is not good at all, and Zhong Liqin, who has a warm temper, is two opposite personalities. Her character of not losing anything makes her popular in the military compound.

Moreover, unlike Zhong Liqin, who works neatly outside the home, many people in the military area say that Lin Xiaoman's husband, Zhu Guoping, is a strict wife, and that Zhu Guoping does the laundry, cooks, and does housework at home. He has no dignity as a man.

For example, now, Zhu Guoping has been up for a long time. After sweeping the yard at home and going to the kitchen to make breakfast, Lin Xiaoman has just woken up, and his face is still so ugly.

But at Zhong Liqin's house, which is separated by a wall, breakfast has been prepared and placed on the table under the vines in the yard. The two children left by Zhong Liqin's husband Xu Zhiqiang's ex-wife have also woken up and are washing while Xu Zhiqiang is carrying a load Water comes back from outside.

The courtyards of the two families are only separated by a small wall. Like Zhong Liqin, who is about 1.6 meters tall, he can see the situation of Lin Xiaoman's house next door when he stands on tiptoe.

If it was a little higher, like Zhu Guoping and Xu Zhiqiang, who were close to 1.9 meters in height, this small wall would be useless in their eyes, and they could see at a glance what happened to the left and right families.

For Zhu Guoping and Lin Xiaoman, Xu Zhiqiang and Zhong Liqin have different feelings.

While Xu Zhiqiang despised Zhu Guoping's strict management of his wife, he was even more proud that he had married a good wife and good mother. Although Zhong Liqin was not as beautiful as Lin Xiaoman, he lived a comfortable life. He usually did some heavy work at home, such as carrying water, Watering vegetables is a labor-intensive job.

Where does it look like Zhu Guoping? No matter how beautiful Lin Xiaoman is, Zhu Guoping is a small child at home. Except for Lin Xiaoman's clothes, he does not need to wash it. Zhu Guoping does almost all the work, such as hygiene, cleaning, and doing Compared with Zhu Guoping, Xu Zhiqiang is just like the eldest man. He has food after work, not like Zhu Guoping who has to cook for Lin Xiaoman when he gets home.

As for Zhong Liqin, she is a very traditional woman, even if she is reborn from a later life, it is difficult to change her chronically ill thoughts.

Rebirth is not a reinvention. Zhong Liqin did not live well in her previous life. She married into a family with a very serious preference for sons and daughters. Even if she has a kind nature and is good to her daughter, she will inevitably be affected by living in such an environment for many years. .

Therefore, many of Zhong Liqin's behaviors are brought out unconsciously. For example, she firmly believes that the male protagonist outside the female protagonist is correct, she will carefully brush the favorability of Xu Zhiqiang and his two sons, and even have her own in the future. After the children, the two children left by Xu Zhiqiang's ex-wife will be better because of the opinions of outsiders.

Zhong Liqin's opinion of Lin Xiaoman is very strange. Sometimes she will envy Lin Xiaoman's wanton life. Zhu Guoping is so kind to Lin Xiaoman, so good that Zhong Liqin thinks that Lin Xiaoman can't live without Zhu Guoping, literally. Can't live.

Zhong Liqin envied Lin Xiaoman being favored by Zhu Guoping, but despised her in her heart, and felt that she had embarrassed women. She felt that no woman would be as lazy as Lin Xiaoman, and Zhu Guoping would do all the work at home. Zhong Liqin even saw Zhu Guoping once. In the evening, while washing Lin Xiaoman's small clothes, Zhong Liqin felt that Lin Xiaoman was too embarrassing for women, of course, she was still envious of her unconsciously.

In fact, in the eyes of others, Xu Zhiqiang and Zhong Liqin are what a real family should look like. For thousands of years, China has been dominated by men and women.

At this time, women's minds have not yet been released. They are imprisoned. It takes time to realize the equality of men and women, and it takes time to tell them slowly.

Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, Zhu Guoping and Lin Xiaoman are deformed and cannot last for a long time. Everyone thinks that washing clothes, cooking, and housework should be a woman's business. Yes, sooner or later they will part ways.

Now back to Zhong Liqin and Lin Xiaoman, the two of them are two extreme beings. Zhong Liqin has to take care of a family by himself, a man and two children. Wake up and let Zhu Guoping do all the work at home.

In short, how diligent Zhong Liqin is, and how lazy Lin Xiaoman is.

In this regard, Lin Xiaoman doesn't feel that this comparison has any effect on her, because she is a house girl and doesn't like to go out. Generally, unless necessary, Lin Xiaoman stays at home and rarely goes out, so outside It really doesn't matter what he thinks.

Like in the morning, she usually doesn't get up as early as today. Lin Xiaoman slept until she woke up naturally, and basically she would only get up after the sex hour.

Usually when Lin Xiaoman woke up, Zhu Guoping had already gone to work. At that time, she only had to go to the kitchen and find something to eat, because Zhu Guoping would make breakfast for her in the morning and warm it in the pot, and she would have breakfast when she woke up.

Lin Xiaoman and Xu Zhiqiang, who lives next door, have not met a few times, because he got up so early today, and Lin Xiaoman has been here for more than a month and not many times.

This was the first time that Lin Xiaoman had woken up so early, and it was also the first time he had seen the fireworks in the military compound, and Lin Xiaoman was very keenly able to sense the superiority of the house next door when he looked at hers, although he did not know her sense of superiority. where did it come from.

Moreover, Lin Xiaoman felt that Xu Zhiqiang and Zhong Liqin were worthy of being a couple, and their eyes were the same with contempt, contempt, self-satisfaction, and a sense of superiority.

Lin Xiaoman's face was light and cloudy, but he was actually annoyed in his heart: What are you looking at? Is there any sense of superiority? Isn't it because your two sons and my man just got married? Isn't it because your woman gets up early and doesn't have to cook for herself?

Lin Xiaoman, who was already full of anger, became inexplicably irritable, the kind of irritable irritability who wanted to swear at the country for no reason.

Fortunately, because such strong emotions rarely appear, Lin Xiaoman quickly forced herself to calm down and calm down after realizing this irritable emotion. After all, her current situation is not suitable for anger.

Lin Xiaoman is more than three months pregnant. Although the first three months have passed, Lin Xiaoman is still very careful.

In particular, she was inexplicably upset today. There was always a feeling that something bad was going to happen today, as if she was about to lose something, which made Lin Xiaoman feel more and more upset.

Lin Xiaoman forced himself to calm down, but his face became more and more ugly, until the next moment, Zhong Liqin came to her to borrow something.

Inexplicably, Lin Xiaoman didn't want to lend it to her. He always had a feeling that once he lent it to him, he would never get it back.
