Raising Kids in the 1960s After Transmigrating into a Book

Blurb One

Lu Dingzhao wakes up to find that she has become a self-sacrificing eldest sister in a story set in a bygone era.

She has awful relatives above her

and ungrateful younger siblings below.

To make matters worse, it is a year of famine, and life is hard.

But Lu Dingzhao has a System, and she thinks: Isn’t this just a max-level player entering the beginner’s village?

First, she deals with her awful relatives, then coaxes her ungrateful siblings into helping her stockpile supplies.

She splits up the family, breaks off an engagement, and everything goes smoothly, one step at a time.

Just as Lu Dingzhao is feeling pleased with herself, suddenly:

Her eldest younger brother is possessed by a cultivation-world chosen one, and spends all day picking fights, drawing complaints from parents everywhere.

Her second younger sister becomes a little princess from an underwater world and goes splashing around in the river every day, terrifying everyone she encounters.

Her third younger brother comes from a mecha world and, even while drinking formula, tries to run off to the machinery factory next door. Everyone starts thinking Lu Dingzhao has ulterior motives and has her eye on the factory director.

Lu Dingzhao: This is a misunderstanding!

Thanks to her younger siblings' antics, Lu Dingzhao soon discovers that her family has become the entire production team's poster child for a hopelessly impoverished household.

Lu Dingzhao: ...This is way too hard. But hey, machinery factory director next door, come here and get in my bowl!

Blurb Two

Zhu Zhiyu is young, handsome, and has a bright future ahead of him. Yet he gives up the promising prospects awaiting him in the city and goes to the countryside to start a machinery factory from scratch.

When he first arrives, he hears that the production team lives in poor conditions, and the worst-off household is the Lu family. Both parents are dead, and after the family split up, all that remains is a delicate woman whose fiance broke off their engagement, along with three children who aren't quite right in the head.

Hearing that they can't even get a pot boiling, Zhu Zhiyu goes to offer condolences on behalf of the steelworks. There he sees the supposed starving girl with rosy cheeks, smelling of milk and with grease on her lips.

Zhu Zhiyu: This is what someone who can't even afford to cook looks like?

Bonus Scene 1

Zhu Zhiyu: You take such good care of your younger siblings. Who's going to take care of you? Think about yourself for a change. How about this?

Lu Dingzhao: (looks at him expectantly) How about what?

Zhu Zhiyu: I have a friend who...

Lu Dingzhao: Get lost.

Bonus Scene 2

Lu Dingzhao: This fellow seems pretty good.

Zhu Zhiyu: (face darkens) What's so good about him? He's too short, his salary's too low, and his family is a hassle...

Lu Dingzhao: The guy over here doesn't have any of those problems.

Zhu Zhiyu: I think you're still young. Don't rush into finding a partner.

Lu Dingzhao: (smiles)

Zhu Zhiyu: I was wrong, darling.

Chi Xiaoyu is a notorious shrew in her village.

Orphaned young, she protects the family business while raising her many younger siblings, and becomes an expert at gathering seafood along the shore.

Who could have guessed that after an accident, she would become Chi Xiaoyu, the shrew her parents knew in the 1980s?

After transmigrating, Chi Xiaoyu faces three major problems.

First, the family is out of grain.

Second, she is already married, to a handsome but sickly man.

Third, because she looked down on her new husband, just yesterday she insulted everyone in his family, from the elders to the children. Her mother-in-law is still in bed.

Chi Xiaoyu: ...

It's too late to change anything. Her family has a tradition of widowhood, never divorce, so Chi Xiaoyu grits her teeth, digs out the old, battered boat from the storeroom, and sets off to sea to find food.

Who knew?

Chi Xiaoyu: Where did my fish go?

Blurb One

Lin Xiruo was born with tremendous strength, but unfortunately, she has an enormous appetite. Since her parents died, she has barely had enough to eat or wear.

One day, she hears that her distant cousin's fiance is the director of a food factory, so she shamelessly shows up to get a free meal.

Just as Lin Xiruo thinks she is finally going to eat her fill, she sees her cousin break off the engagement in front of everyone. Suddenly, the pastry in her hand doesn't taste so good. Lin Xiruo begins to worry that they'll make her pay for the food.

Then the groom-to-be points at her in the crowd, staring straight at her with his peach-blossom eyes.

“Then I'll marry her.”

Lin Xiruo, cheeks stuffed as she tries to “destroy the evidence”: Huh?

Blurb Two

Lin Yanni is reborn at the very moment before her wedding. Looking at the tall, handsome man beside her, she remembers her previous life.

In everyone's eyes, Fu Shi is the youngest factory director, with a bright future ahead of him. She was lucky to have won him over.

But she knows that the food factory will go bankrupt before long, and Fu Shi will go from being a promising factory director to an ordinary worker, living an ordinary life of daily chores and petty concerns with her.

Meanwhile, the delinquent she once rejected will become the richest man in the area. Remembering how kind he was to her in her previous life, Lin Yanni looks at the delinquent in the crowd and grits her teeth, steeling herself.

“Tang Ruiguang, will you marry me?”

Everyone is stunned.

Fu Shi, a head chef from the imperial kitchen who has just transmigrated from ancient times, sees this scene: ...

Theme: Repay kindness, and you can stay true to it to the end.
