The Argumentative Family of the 1970s

Coming soon: The Eccentric Family of 1970, a weird, wonderful, and lovable family

Blurb

The Pi family grew up in the 1970s. They're ordinary, but with a bit of a twist.

Pi Dad was always arguing with the village head, and ended up becoming the village head himself.

Pi Mom was always arguing with the women's director, and ended up becoming the women's director herself.

Pi Sis was always arguing with the village woman who raised pigs, and ended up becoming the best pig-raiser for miles around.

Pi Bro was always arguing with the village teacher, and ended up becoming a renowned teaching whiz in the commune.

Pi Xiaoxiao was always arguing with her family, and ended up as a useless little nobody who couldn't hold her head up at home.

Although Pi Xiaoxiao couldn't win an argument, she was incredibly lucky. Today she'd find a nest of pheasants on the mountain, tomorrow she'd catch a carp in the river, and the day after she'd dig up a treasure chest...

In fact, Pi Xiaoxiao had a little secret. She wasn't quiet because she couldn't win arguments with her family. It was because she was a little jinx who could make bad things happen just by saying them.

Little Scene 1

The Great Pi Xiaoxiao Renaming Incident

Pi Xiaoxiao: Give me a new name. This one doesn't sound formal at all.

Pi Bro: I've already thought of one. You were born at the tail end of autumn, so from now on, your name will be Pi Qiu.

Pi Xiaoxiao: ?? I think I'll stick with Pi Xiaoxiao.

Little Scene 2

A woman who transmigrated into a book remembered the notorious future business tycoon known as the King of Hell. She decided her mission in the book was to save him.

After going to great lengths to convince her parents to let her go to the countryside as an educated youth, she was turned away instead??

Pi Dad: Hm? Another educated young woman? No, no thanks.

She went to great lengths again to warn the King of Hell to watch out for their team leader's schemes.

The former village head, now undergoing reform at a farm, and the current village head, Pi Dad: ??

Notes:

1. This story is entirely fictional, with a lighthearted farming and face-slapping tone and a slow pace.

2. The wild animals' behavior in the story reflects the era. Please don't imitate it in real life.

3. Both are each other's first love, one-on-one romance, sweet and doting, and the main characters will never suffer angst.

Blurb 1

Taozi is three years old and the village's most famous little jinx.

She takes a step and falls.

She chokes on a sip of water.

She goes up a mountain and gets chased by a monkey.

She plays in the river and gets bitten by a snake.

She can't seem to get a single day of peace.

Everyone says the Qu family is foolish for treating a little jinx like a treasure.

The Qu family is indignant. They have twelve boys and just one little girl. How could they not spoil her?

Besides, who says their Taozi is a little jinx?

She finds silver dollars while walking, drinks river water and finds flakes of gold, brings home a huge snake from the riverbank, and gets wild fruit from monkeys on the mountain. If that's not a little lucky star, what is?

Three-year-old Taozi rubbed her sore head where the wild fruit had hit her, tears in her eyes as she munched on it.

Taozi hurts, but Taozi won't cry. Taozi eats peaches.

Blurb 2

Three-year-old Taozi had been left in a tree again. She curled herself into a little ball, feeling terribly wronged, and started reviewing the words her big brother had taught her, then putting them to use.

Eccentric means strange and different from everyone else.

For example, her dad had taken her mom home to mooch a meal again today. Everyone in the village said he had no shame.

For example, her mom had earned a full day's work points again yesterday. Everyone said she was foolish to choose a pretty boy.

For example, her third brother was skinny as a monkey. He'd put her in a tree just now and then forgotten about her.

For example, her fifth sister had used a slingshot to beat up the Li family's little bully again yesterday.

For example, her big brother knew too much. Being different made him an eccentric too...

As Taozi counted on her fingers, her head started spinning.

Wait, that can't be right. Wasn't she the only girl in their family? Where had this fifth sister come from?
