Cheng Xiaolan transmigrates and becomes a pitiful girl in the 1960s, about to be forced into an arranged marriage swap.
She hears her intended, Qi Weidong, is the stingiest man at the machinery factory. He'd rather split a single coin into eight pieces than spend it.
Their relatives and neighbors are all waiting for a laugh, wondering how these two "penny-pinchers" will manage.
But Cheng Xiaolan just smiles. Stingy? Perfect! In her previous life, she was an actuary. She's best at making every penny go ten times as far!
From the start, all she has is a shabby house with bare walls, but her eyes light up. These are all untapped resources!
The Frugal Household System activates. Every penny saved and every bit of value created can be exchanged for future technology!
And so, everything changes:
While others chew on plain steamed buns, her windowsill is lush with greenery, tomatoes ripen, and mushrooms flourish;
While others fight over coal briquettes, she improves the stove core to cut coal use in half, shocking the whole factory with her innovation;
When jealous people report her for "promoting capitalism," Cheng Xiaolan presents her "Agricultural Technology Research Notes," while Qi Weidong produces the factory's "Proof of Technical Innovation." They turn the tables and earn a collective commendation.
Qi Weidong realizes he's struck gold.
His wife is not only good with numbers, she also has countless ingenious ideas.
From a quiet technician, he rises all the way to become an engineer. Together, the couple builds facilities, develops new technologies, and quietly makes a fortune.
Only later do their envious neighbors realize that the "stingy couple" they once looked down on has long since reached heights they can only dream of.
At first, Qi Weidong hands over his salary in an iron box: "Here's all we've got. Spend carefully."
Later, Qi Weidong looks anxiously at stacks of receipts and passbooks: "Honey, it seems like... we can't spend all this money?"
Cheng Xiaolan smiles. "Don't worry. This is only the beginning."
The writing style is okay, the title of the article is mysterious, the couple who work together are not like husband and wife, it is indeed a cooperative relationship, it is quite accurate, there is no emotion, and the two protagonists are quite modern thinking. The improved briquettes were exchanged for a huge sum of 100 yuan and a promotion. It had nothing to do with the atmosphere of tension and surprise that was exaggerated in the early stage. Some excellent improvement methods attracted the army and they were given 100 yuan. I laughed to death for the huge sum of money. What are you doing with two months' salary at most? The preface does not match the postscript. What do you mean by being stubborn? Day after day, I am either improving this or that, and getting involved in other more complicated things. The main thing is that there is no benefit even if I just get involved. Don't joke about it if you spend more than 100 yuan. More than 1,000 yuan is still about the same. I also met a time-traveling girl. At first, she said she wanted to blend in with the times, but then the other time-traveling girl said a few words and realized that they were the same kind. She didn't care if the other person was a good person or not, and she didn't even intend to get to know each other, so she just tested each other and then recognized each other 666. At least, wait a little longer and think about it. Oh my God, π_π I don't know how to say it, you can see for yourself.
It's okay, it was okay in the front, but suddenly another time traveler came from behind, and the two of them recognized each other, it was simply, no need
