Transmigrating to the Seventies: Everyday Gossip in the Compound

After dying suddenly from overwork, Su Banxia became a high school student in the 1970s.

Expected to go to the countryside right after graduation? She brandished the policy documents and snatched a secure job right from under the tiger’s nose.

Need to get married to qualify for housing? She turned to the capitalist scion in the courtyard. “Want to get married?”

Gu Xiuyuan was quiet, but exceptionally handy

She casually said she wanted peach shortbread, and he built an oven overnight;

She said she wanted to go to college, and he hand-copied the past exam papers.

Later, the college entrance exams were reinstated, and she got into university;

When China opened up to the world, she went into business.

The mean girl from back then begged her on her knees for a job, while those who had stolen her spot lined up to submit their resumes.

Looking at the prosperous life filling the courtyard, Su Banxia smiled

There was something lovely about this ordinary, bustling world.
