In the Sixties, My Missing Little Sister Came Home

Blurb: Xu Xiaohua transmigrates into a period novel as Xu Mianru, a minor supporting character who went missing at the age of five in her previous life and never made it home! The original novel mainly tells the story of the heroine, Xu Youyou. Her biological father died early, and she followed her remarried mother to the Xu family, where everyone cherished her as the apple of their eye. They poured their hearts into raising the little girl into a pillar of the nation. After graduating from university, Xu Youyou became a reporter at Huaguo's most prestigious newspaper. During a turbulent era, she went deep into the communities to report on the real problems facing ordinary people. She repeatedly found herself in danger, but was fortunate enough to escape with help from her family and her loved one. In the latter half of the 1970s, just as everything was thriving, Xu Youyou and the male lead strangely failed to get back together. Outsiders assumed that their long separation had made him fall out of love, but the truth lay in a letter from the Northwest Military Region. The author never revealed what was in it. The original novel's final chapter is an extra story about Grandma Xu. In her later years, as she lay in her rocking chair, the old woman remembered the little girl who had gone missing years ago. Standing beneath a locust tree in full bloom that May, she had called out sweetly, “Grandma, the flowers are blooming~” Grandma Xu's eyes would always fill with tears at the memory. When she woke up, Xu Xiaohua, a woman from the 21st century, discovered that she had transmigrated into the book as the missing girl, Xu Mianru! And, by a strange coincidence, this time the Xu family had found her and brought her home. But she had been back for half a month and had spent the whole time asleep. As Xu Xiaohua wondered why, she heard her cousin Xu Youyou solemnly turn down a marriage proposal from the male supporting character's family. “Comrade Xu and I aren't suited to each other. Besides, our families' engagement was arranged by our elders years ago...” The man's family said, “Our elders arranged this, and the Xu family never objected all these years. Now the old man is critically ill and just wants to see this wish fulfilled. How can your family act this way?” The heroine's mother muttered, “Our Youyou isn't even surnamed Xu.” Xu Xiaohua, eavesdropping in the next room, immediately opened the window and shouted toward them, “I-I'll do it!” After returning home, Xu Xiaohua, who was unusually sleepy, instinctively felt that she and the Xu family were a bad match, and that this wasn't where she belonged. One of the rules of transmigrating into a book: stay away from the main characters to stay safe! *****Next book available for advance reading: The Educated Youth Woman Returns to the City in the Seventies***** Blurb: In 1968, Li Nanshu graduated from junior high school, and her family had arranged a job for her at a food factory. But a letter of denunciation arrived at the work-placement leadership group where her father worked, accusing him of failing to actively mobilize his family to answer the call of the times, since all five of his children had stayed in the city to work. In 1968, Li Nanshu tearfully said goodbye to her parents, brothers, and sisters, and went to the countryside in southern Anhui to join the production team. In 1973, after performing exceptionally well, Li Nanshu boarded the train home. Filled with excitement, she planned to return to the city and seek refuge in her family's arms. She had been away for five years, and her siblings were now shining in their respective fields. Surely a life of leisure awaited her. But when she got home, she discovered that her father had been sent to a farm, her eldest brother had been publicly criticized for having a problematic lifestyle, her second brother had been ostracized by his work unit and stuck in a dead-end post, her eldest sister was facing divorce, and her second sister had just been dumped by a scumbag. The familiar plot made Li Nanshu gasp. She suddenly realized that her family was the foil in a period novel, and that the heroine was her sworn enemy, Su Qingxi. Li Nanshu felt a surge of anger in her chest, dropped her bundle, and declared, “I could beat Su Qingxi even when we were in the countryside. I refuse to believe she can pull the rug out from under me now that I'm back in the city!” Theme: Live brilliantly, like a summer flower
