In 1978, when the educated youth returned to the city, Gu Xiaoyue returned from Baishan Heishui to the capital compound after ten years of absence with a transfer order. She thought she could finally live a stable life, but what greeted her was the dilapidated tube house with bare walls, her father died young, her mother was weak, her younger siblings were crying for food, and her fiancé was engaged to someone else as early as the second year after she went to the countryside! It is simply the beginning of life in hell mode. The good news is that she finally no longer has to face the earth and her back to the sky, and can return to city life. The bad news is that this family is poorer than the production team where she went to the countryside, and they have to be careful if they want to eat well. Not to mention that the former "playmates" in the compound are now factory directors and managers. They look at her with eyes full of sympathy and contempt, as if she is a burden that is holding them back. Gu Xiaoyue smiled, like a weather-beaten female warrior, but her eyes shone with a light that refused to admit defeat. No money? It doesn't matter, she has survival wisdom honed in the countryside and a pair of hard-working and skillful hands. No background? It doesn't matter, she has a keen sense of the trend of the times and an aggressive spirit that never hits the wall and never looks back. Starting from reselling "hot goods" under the planned economy, she became a "little expert" at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative. With a few food stamps, she lived a pleasant life; in the wave of "price breakthrough", she dared to be the first to set up one of the first self-employed businesses in the compound, and opened a Western-style "Hong Kong style" clothing store. Bell-bottom pants, solid shirts, toad mirrors... They have all become popular items in her hands! The former "local girl" has transformed into a trend-setting fashionista.
