The Cherished Little Slacker of the Seventies

[Complete. This story has been rewritten in full. If the old version is still showing, try exiting and refreshing.] Jiang Xinrui's ideal life was to be a couch potato, with everything brought to her and every meal served. Unfortunately, she was an orphan, and though she married a rich man, he was so stingy it was unbearable. One day, she woke up as a child in a compound. Her parents and grandparents were all wealthy, and the whole family treated her like a princess. Her dream life of lazy bliss had arrived completely out of the blue! But after just a couple of days of good living, her family packed four enormous bundles for her and sent her off to the impoverished countryside to be an educated youth (and work the fields). Jiang Xinrui: ... Maybe she just isn't worthy. QAQ * After arriving in the countryside, Jiang Xinrui was shocked to discover that her stingy ex-husband, Gu Qingzhou, had transmigrated here too. He had become the poorest person in the whole village, with not a single grain of rice in his porridge. He was stingy even when he had money. He must be even stingier now. Knowing her ex-husband's nature all too well, she avoided him every day, afraid he would stop her. Hmph, Gu Stingy, don't even think about mooching the little biscuits from her bundle! ╭(╯^╰)╮ Who could have guessed that Gu Qingzhou would suddenly pull her into a haystack and secretly take two still-warm steamed buns from inside his clothes to give her? Ruirui: ...This has to be an impostor Gu Qingzhou. It wasn't until later, when she saw Gu Qingzhou's cellar piled high with grain, that she wondered: wasn't he supposed to be the poorest person in the village, with no rice in his porridge? Reader's guide: Two people transmigrate into a book: a stingy gentleman and a lazy young lady in a sweet romance set in the 1970s. Recommended Upcoming Story: Sweetheart [Period] In the 1980s, while her older siblings were beginning to fall in love, Tianbao was still a little pink dumpling. Gu Zhihuan, the big brother adored by all the older girls on the street, was always coming to Tianbao's house to do homework with her older sister. Tianbao was the only one Gu Zhihuan ever held in his arms, and the only one who managed to steal a kiss from him. Even her own older sister, Tianye, couldn't do that. When four-year-old Tianbao said in her babyish voice that she would marry Gu Zhihuan when she grew up, her older siblings burst out laughing. Nobody took her seriously; they thought it was just a child's silly talk. No one expected that more than ten years later, the sisters who had once had crushes on Gu Zhihuan would all marry other people, while the now-grown Tianbao chased after him all the way to Beijing to make her childhood wish come true. Upcoming Story 2: Surviving the Apocalypse with Grandma Xu Tao, a host at a local TV station, lives with her grandmother. To improve her professional skills, she watches the news every day and studies diligently. After spotting something suspicious in that day's report right away, Xu Tao begins stockpiling supplies, just in case. When the apocalypse arrives, Xu Tao refuses to abandon her elderly grandmother and takes her along as they flee and fight to survive. * Grandma has the habits of the older generation. She likes to stockpile everything and can't bear to throw anything away. She's like a treasure chest, always able to dig out whatever everyone needs from some unexpected nook or cranny, whether under the bed, inside a sock, or beneath a pillow. Grandma also has a common trait among elders: she loves to fret over the younger generation's love lives and marriages. When she notices that her granddaughter, who has never been interested in romance, keeps blushing as she sneaks glances at the officer protecting them, Grandma waits until Xu Tao isn't looking and goes up to him: "Young man, want to exchange contact information? If your team needs anything, just come to me. The only thing I've ever been good at is stockpiling." "Your grandma here doesn't trust just anyone. I have my eye on you!" Theme: Everyone has flaws, but love helps people accept one another and become better.
