Luckily, this is an era when even a pig can fly if it catches the right updraft. To improve their desperate circumstances as soon as possible, Lin Qingyu and her older brother set up a stall selling jianbing.
After half a year of hard work, she decides to take a gamble and become a cross-border trader, selling goods to the people of the Soviet Union, who lack both clothes and food!
Half a month later, the siblings return home with a large bundle of rubles, having made it back by the skin of their teeth, and bring the children with them.
The ramshackle home was so poor that even ants passing by looked down on it. Now it boasts the prettiest little villa in the surrounding villages.
Still young, with a house and kids, Lin Qingyu could have been perfectly content.

TIPS:
1. The female lead transmigrates; the male lead is a native of this world.
2. A slow-paced, heartwarming daily-life story.
3. The setting is fictional, so don't take it as a portrayal of real life. Some place names are used only for convenience in writing!
4. If you don't like it, just close the book and carry on with your day. No need to let me know if you drop it.
Return to the City in the 1970s: the taciturn, gorgeous "kept man" and the forthright, fiery village beauty
The arrival of the educated youths sparked lively discussion in the Chunfeng Brigade, where everyone was hunkering down for the winter. There was only one reason: among them was a particularly handsome young man named Chu.
Male villager: He only earns five work points.
Female villager: Young Chu is so handsome.
Male villager: He spends money like water.
Female villager: Young Chu can repair tractors.
Male villager: His family background is politically bad.
Female villager: ...
Lin Baoyi: Our Lin family has been poor peasants for three generations. We're politically sound, and we stand together with the backward elements. It's our duty!

After his family suffers a sudden catastrophe, Chu Yanting, the little tyrant of the military compound in the capital, loses all the prestige that came with being one of the compound's privileged young men overnight. With a bundle on his back, he becomes an educated youth sent to the countryside.
The life he imagined: Though I have but a basket of rice and a gourd of water, living in a humble lane, I pick chrysanthemums beneath the eastern hedge and gaze leisurely at the southern mountain.
The life he actually gets: Thump, thump, thump, time for work! Thump, thump, thump, time for the harvest! Thump, thump, thump, time to pick up cow dung!
Chu Yanting is so exhausted that stars dance before his eyes. He takes another bite of the lumpy sweet potato, and his stomach burns and churns.
The tough girl from his team, who works harder than any man, comes over. Born with incredible strength, she swings her hoe and drives it into the earth. She smiles, dimples showing, and says brightly, "My family has plenty of food."
Theme: No matter the circumstances, live life with a positive attitude
