The Lovely Beauty of the 1970s

Liu Jiaojiao is just like her name suggests.

Her parents named her Jiaojiao because they hoped she’d be pampered and never have to do housework, let alone any heavy labor.

Her two older brothers treat her like a treasure, ready to pluck stars from the sky and the moon from its place for her.

While everyone else goes out to work, she stays home eating watermelon, watching color TV, and fanning herself.

While everyone else eats pickles, she enjoys white rice with braised pork.

While everyone else wears coarse clothes, her closet is full of the trendiest dresses.

No girl in Xiping Village has a more comfortable, carefree life than Liu Jiaojiao!

Then, when Liu Jiaojiao is nineteen, she suddenly notices that her parents’ hair has turned white, and the sight of her second older brother happily eating white rice at the state-run restaurant makes her nose sting.

Little by little, she understands that in this world, only money can give a family a good life.

So she sets out to build her family’s fortune. Liu Jiaojiao is always making money or on her way to make money. But how did she end up finding herself a boyfriend along the way?
