A 1990S College Student Returns to the Village to Build It Up

Chen Lin graduated from university in 1996, just as the country abolished the system of assigning jobs to university graduates. She had finally been selected by a TV station in Haishi, but then learned that her grandfather had fallen and injured his leg, and her elderly grandmother was in poor health. Raised by her grandparents from childhood, Chen Lin resolutely packed her bags and returned to Fuhua Village, deep in the mountains of the southwest. A person only gets so many decades in life, yet she spent ten years in Fuhua Village planting flowers, trees, and medicinal herbs, and building roads. Little by little, she watched muddy paths become broad concrete roads, leaky mud-brick homes turn into small red-brick houses and then get covered in beautiful tiles, unwanted fruit from the remote mountain valleys become a source of wealth, the area's beautiful natural scenery draw in tourists, and young people leaving for the city give way to more and more people moving in... After Fuhua Village became a model village, a reporter from the provincial capital came to interview her. "What made you give up a good job in the city and come back to build up your hometown?" She smiled. "At first, I never had such grand plans to return and build up my hometown. But the people here gave me the confidence to give it a try." Her hometown, where she was born and raised, and her neighbors, who had given her so much warmth and care, were her courage and conviction. Next up: "Reunited with My Ex in the Seventies" A timid, gossip-loving artist VS a stone-faced military doctor in public and a total sweetheart in private Song Yuqing had just sent a breakup text to her boyfriend, whom she hadn't seen in six months. The very next second, she found herself on a street in Yangcheng in the 1970s. She was just about to stop someone and ask what show they were filming when a middle-aged woman dragged her "home." After being lectured in turn by her supposed family, Song Yuqing spent half the day in a daze before finally figuring it out: She had transmigrated! She frantically searched her memories, but couldn't find any novel in which the heroine or a supporting character was named Song Yuqing. There were no memories from some "original host" flooding her mind, and even after she bit her finger and pressed the blood onto the safety pendant she was wearing, no pocket dimension or special ability appeared! Now she was the third child of the Song family. Her older brother and sister already had jobs, while her twin younger siblings were still in primary school. A job that had supposedly been promised to her was snatched up by her cousin. With no job after graduating high school, she had only two choices: Either go to the countryside as an educated youth. Or marry an old man and become a stepmother. Song Yuqing didn't hesitate for a second. She chose to go to the countryside. But farm labor was too grueling. One day, she fainted in the fields, and when she woke up, she saw... her ex-boyfriend??? Zhao Pingsheng! You're dead! Zhao Pingsheng died after being infected during a global viral outbreak. Somehow, he transmigrated to 1968 and became a military doctor, then was transferred to an island. Two years after arriving, a female educated youth from a nearby fishing village was brought in unconscious. He happened to pass by on his rounds and took one look at her, nearly bursting into tears on the spot. Though it had been three years since they'd last seen each other, he was absolutely certain that the female educated youth in the hospital bed was his girlfriend! At last, he got a chance to be alone with her. Before he could celebrate, she said, "We've already broken up!" After that, the doctors and nurses at the hospital saw Doctor Zhao abandon his usual stone-faced expression, grinning at work and bringing food to the female educated youth in Room 203 every day. Zhao Pingsheng, who had planned to spend the rest of his days alone in this absurd world: I can't stand to see my girlfriend suffer. I might as well get her added to my household registration ahead of schedule! Theme: Follow your heart, and keep walking even in simple shoes.
