After becoming a cannon fodder who couldn't survive more than three chapters in the novel, Lin Xiaoyue faced two choices -
Either he was drugged by his aunt and sent to Wang Mazi's bed, or he took the initiative and found a man to get the certificate.
She held up dumplings to block Chen Weidong, who had just gotten off work: "My aunt asked me to deliver dumplings, and then called a gangster. If you don't want to marry, don't eat them."
Chen Weidong glanced at her: "What's your name?"
"Lin Xiaoyue."
"Follow me."
That night, the two came out of the Civil Affairs Section with their marriage certificates in hand.
Lin Xiaoyue asked: "You said you will divorce in half a year, what if... What if I don't want to divorce?"
Chen Weidong didn't look back: "We'll talk about it then."
Later, the whole factory knew that Chen Weidong, the cold-faced workshop director, had married a timid little wife.
Someone saw him queuing up to buy brown sugar early in the morning, saying his wife had a stomachache.
Someone saw him asking someone to bring a hair mask from Shanghai, saying that his wife had burned her hair during an experiment.
Someone saw him squatting in the yard in the middle of the night fixing cages for rabbits, cursing "hair-shedding monster" and moving his hands as lightly as anything.
Only Lin Xiaoyue knew that this man would stand in front of her when she was bullied, would silently fill a hot water bottle when she was extremely tired, and would quietly give her all the good things in that era of scarcity.
That winter, he exchanged a bowl of hot noodles for her life.
