The Sixties Honey Darling's Cheat-Code Life

In the 1960s, the Lin family ate wild greens and corn cakes at every meal. Natural disasters cut harvests and ruined crops, leaving adults and children alike so hungry they were little more than skin and bones.

But after Mi Bao was born, the Lin family had more mushrooms, fish, shrimp, and game than they could eat. They never came back empty-handed from hunting in the mountains, and filled basins with fish from the river... When there was no meat and the family went hungry, the wolf king brought a fat rabbit to their doorstep. When they were too poor to buy pretty clothes, they found gold every time they went out.

The whole Lin family: ... Whew, the God of Wealth is chasing us around, putting food in our mouths! Our little lucky star! Let's pamper her!

.

People in all the nearby villages said Mi Bao was born lucky. She had been blessed from the time she was little and was adored by her entire family. The Lin family prospered, and every one of her brothers and sisters made something of themselves!

When she came of age, so many families sought her hand in marriage that they could have worn down the threshold. But her taste was questionable: she set her sights on an educated youth who couldn't do farm work. Everyone said her hard times were about to begin!

Who could have guessed that the educated youth would take Mi Bao to sit the college entrance exams, get into a prestigious university, and become a city person?

Riding the wave of reform and opening up, he led Dayu Village to prosperity through investment. Everyone in the village got a car and moved into a grand villa!

People couldn't help marveling: Mi Bao really was destined to enjoy a life of good fortune!

Mi Bao's third uncle came home with his delicate city-born wife. She was fretting over having to eat coarse flour cakes, wild greens porridge, and pickles every day, and having to squeeze in with country bumpkins in a shabby, leaky thatched hut...

But when she arrived at the Lin family home, she found a courtyard house with red brick and green tiles. Everyone wore new clothes, and they were all good-looking. The most adorable of all was little Mi Bao, with her porcelain-doll face. She was even prettier than the children in the city.

On the first day, the Lin family killed a chicken for dinner. The third aunt thought they were vain show-offs, and figured they wouldn't even have eggs to eat later.

On the second day, the Lin family slaughtered a fat sheep. The third aunt thought they were going too far, pretending to be rich when they had no money, and blowing through her husband's wages.

On the third day, the Lin family killed a fat rabbit.

The delicate third aunt...!!! What if she didn't want to go back to the city!
