After My Husband Went to the Countryside in The 1970S

Coming soon: A Seventies Diary of Life with the Army and Becoming a Lady Duke After Fleeing Famine. Blurbs below. Qiao Mingming transmigrated, but she took it in stride. Her husband was well educated, handsome, kind, and had a steady government job. He was the ideal son-in-law in the eyes of all the neighborhood aunties. But before she'd had her fill of the good life, her husband was framed by a villain and was about to be stripped of his position and sent to the countryside. Good heavens, this is too much! Looking at the three-year-old child beside her, Qiao Mingming successfully fainted. When she woke up, she was told there was another baby in her belly. When Cheng Yunyun was reborn, she cried until her face was wet with tears. In her previous life, she had insisted on marrying a city youth. But after he returned to the city, he never came back, leaving her to live out the rest of her life in misery. After being reborn, she started trying to make money. First, she taught the production team to raise fish in the rice paddies. Six months later, she ruined two mu of paddy fields. Next, she taught her family to grow mushrooms. Two months later, they had wasted a pile of lumber. With no other options, she turned to the person who had suggested these moneymaking schemes in her previous life: Professor Ning, who was living in a cowshed. Later, she turned her attention to Professor Ning's wife as well. After Ning Yu was sent to the countryside, he constantly worried about his beloved wife and young son back home. One day, he woke up to discover that he was a character in a storybook. In the book, after he was sent to the countryside, his wife immediately cut ties with him, aborted their unborn child, and married the villain who had framed him, taking their son with her. When he returned to the city, he relentlessly took revenge on his wife and lived happily ever after with Cheng Yunyun, who had stood by him through adversity. What a ridiculous mess, Ning Yu thought indignantly. Mingming was beautiful and kind, and loved him deeply. She might be a little spoiled, but there was no way she'd marry that villain! A thousand miles away, Qiao Mingming was dealing with the villain's advances. When he pulled out a thick wad of money and ration coupons, Qiao Mingming, “beautiful and kind, and devoted to her husband,” shamefully felt her heart waver. P.S. An alternate-history period novel. The heroine is Qiao Mingming, and the hero is Ning Yu. It's a story about a hero and heroine navigating life together, about the heroine and a supporting character making a fortune, and about revitalizing the countryside during difficult times. A Seventies Diary of Life with the Army: Wen Jiajia transmigrates to the 1970s and wakes up to discover she's an aunt. The original was the youngest daughter in the family. Because her family was poor, she was given to a couple in the city to raise as their daughter. But after a while, her adoptive parents had a son of their own, and the cherished daughter became an overworked servant. When her adoptive parents tried to force her into marriage for their own benefit, she fought back and broke the legs of their leader and his dimwitted son. To escape the trouble, her adoptive parents threw her out, severed all ties, and sent her back to the countryside. But her rotten luck wasn't over. The day she returned to her hometown, her parents and older sisters all died from eating mushrooms. Only the original woman and two children were left in the family. Standing at the door of her home, the original woman fainted from the shock of facing death. When she woke up, she had become Wen Jiajia. Wen Jiajia: “...To be honest, I want to die too.” There were plenty of kind people in the village, all concerned about her nieces and nephews. They said, “You're their aunt and an elder. You can't abandon your two sisters' children.” Wen Jiajia hesitated. “Fine, I'll look after them.” They said, “The adults in your family are dead. You have no savings or able-bodied workers. How will you survive?” Wen Jiajia nodded. “Right. How will I survive?” They said, “That soldier who carried you to the hospital owes you a debt of gratitude. Why don't you marry him?” Wen Jiajia was stunned. “What the heck? That's repaying kindness with betrayal!” A few months later, Wen Jiajia packed up and followed that poor unlucky soldier far away to live with the army... Becoming a Lady Duke After Fleeing Famine: Lu Tao transmigrates and becomes Lu Sanniang. She took it in stride. So what if she had transmigrated? Was she the heroine? Oh, no. She'd become a thirty-eight-year-old grandmother in ancient times, already raising her grandchildren! The era was one of upheaval, as a new dynasty replaced the old. Natural and man-made disasters went hand in hand. Floods, fires, locusts, and war; people traded their children for food and even resorted to cannibalism. Ruin stretched as far as the eye could see, and a thousand miles of land lay barren. The original Lu Sanniang was a widow who had raised six children. When she caught a cold, she didn't want to burden them, so she hanged herself in her room. Lu Tao: “...” Luckily, she came with a step-counting System. Ten thousand steps earned a bottle of water; twenty thousand steps, a sausage; thirty thousand steps, three jin of flour; forty thousand steps, four jin of rice; fifty thousand steps, a bottle of Huoxiang Zhengqi Water... With the idea that “a miserable life is better than a good death,” Lu Tao led her family on the road to escape the famine. The journey was fraught with hardships, no less arduous than the pilgrimage to the West. In the end, they settled in a beautiful place surrounded by mountains and rivers. Lu Tao started a small business and opened a small private school. She became Teacher Lu, then gained fame across the land and became Headmaster Lu. Yang Zhen was originally called Yang Sanniu and passed the imperial examinations in the eighth year of the Shengyuan era. People said, “Heaven, earth, ruler, parents, teacher.” For him, his grandmother was all five. In the twelfth year of the Shengyuan era, Yang Zhen was promoted to a fifth-rank academician lecturer. The following year, Lu Tao was named Lady Duke of Ning for improving farm tools, raising an imperial princess, and educating the people. She became the Qing dynasty's first female duke. When the Censor tried to object, Yang Zhen answered the emperor in the Golden Throne Hall: “Without my grandmother, there would be no me. As a woman, my grandmother founded Hengxi Academy, where peach and plum trees flourish. Those petty, jealous people could never compare to her.” Yang Zhen's career flourished. He passed the provincial exam in his teens and the palace exam in his early twenties, rising from Hanlin compiler to minister in little more than twenty years. People said, “Yang Zhen is sharp-tongued, cold, and hard-hearted. He once executed a member of his own clan and admonished the emperor, but he is utterly devoted to his grandmother and obeys her in everything.” P.S. A slow-paced, slice-of-life farming story set in an alternate history! It follows three storylines: escaping famine, settling down, and building a life. The main characters are Lu Tao and her grandson Yang Zhen. It's an ensemble cast with lots of relatives, so readers who might be bothered by that should proceed with caution. The heroine has no romance, but the hero does.
