In the 1960s, I Married a Roughneck Company Commander to Fight Desertification

Li Lansi is reborn in time to return to the age of twenty, when she was sent to work in the countryside. Back then, she worked diligently to prevent and control desertification and plant trees, but the man she married, Han Chao, was a hopeless romantic.

Han Chao was the head of the forest farm, with the rank of company commander. His true love was a widow who had in-laws to care for and three children. Han Chao thought she was an exceptionally virtuous woman. He was at the widow's beck and call, practically her summoned beast, looking after her in every little thing. He even wanted to give her half his salary.

Li Lansi married Han Chao because they were discovered lying together after getting drunk. They got married and had a child.

But marriage and a child didn't make Han Chao give up his true love. He even said these words to Li Lansi, words that would stink for eternity: He'd rather make every woman in the world cry than let one woman be sad.

Their child was crying with hunger, but Han Chao took the only food in the house and gave it to the widow, so her three children could eat their fill. He never imagined that his and Li Lansi's child would starve to death.

Han Chao disregarded Li Lansi's grief over losing their child, asked her for a divorce, and said that he had married her in the first place just so he could divorce her. That way, the widow wouldn't feel she was beneath him.

Li Lansi went mad and hacked Han Chao with a knife. In the end, she spent more than a decade in prison.

After being reborn, Li Lansi found that Han Chao was different from the man he'd been in her previous life. He no longer clung to the widow. Instead, he was always looking at Li Lansi, his eyes shining brightly. But she was still haunted by the past and was always bad-tempered with him.

Han Chao said to the political instructor, "Comrade Li Lansi is good in every way. She's hardworking and can endure hardships, but she's not very good with words. She only speaks one or two words at a time. Everyone should do what they can to help Comrade Li Lansi. Talk with her more often and help her improve her speaking skills. Otherwise, the less she speaks, the weaker her language skills will become."

The instructor looked incredulous. "That's impossible! Comrade Li Lansi speaks at length and is incredibly eloquent. She often gave speeches while she was in school. Why does she only speak one or two words at a time with you?"

#$@^&**&!#%&**%$#@^^*#@!^*&^%**^%$#@!$%& (The situation was too awkward, so a mosaic was used to cover up Han Chao's thoughts.)

Before long, the day when she'd gotten drunk in her previous life came around again. Li Lansi made up an excuse to get away. Once the day passed, she and Han Chao would have nothing to do with each other ever again.

When Li Lansi came back the next day, Han Chao stopped her and said he'd waited for her all day yesterday.

Li Lansi was instantly furious. He'd ruined her previous life, and now he wanted to ruin this one too. She kicked Han Chao hard in the butt and shouted, "Get lost, you hopeless romantic! Stay the hell away from me."
