The Beloved Little Lucky Star of the Seventies

[Discontinued. I can't find a better way into the story, and readership isn't growing. Ending this painful struggle.]

While Xiao Zhao was still in the womb, a great drought struck the land, and the fields yielded nothing.

The moment Xiao Zhao was born, sweet rain fell from the sky, and all living things came back to life.

A blind fortune-teller passed by the house, made a quick calculation, and left behind a four-character inscription without taking a single coin. He politely offered his congratulations three times, then drifted away.

Those four characters became the origin of Xiao Zhao's name: Auspicious Star Shines Bright.

Gao Zhao was practically the village menace.

She had beaten up Old Zhang's son, the local bully called her his great-aunt whenever he saw her, and even the village secretary's arrogant old mother treated her with respect.

Later, two villages fought fiercely over the lakeside fields. But the moment Xiao Zhao showed up, everyone, whether wielding bricks or brandishing sticks, obediently put down their weapons and made peace.

The only exception was Ji Xinghan, the little son of a sent-down youth. Every time, he would stick out his neck and call her a little bandit!

The little bandit ran wild across the countryside, yet won countless admirers.

Old Zhang's son said, "You don't get it. She pointed at a tree, and my dad's missing watch turned up."

The local bully said, "You don't get it. Last time, the geese at the village entrance chased me, and she saved my life with a whistle."

The village secretary's old mother said, "You don't get it. My niece on my mother's side had been married for eight years without a child, but Xiao Zhao worked a miracle, and now she's expecting."

Could this little girl really be that incredible? She's only five!

Ji Xinghan didn't believe it!

One day, after gathering pigweed, Ji Xinghan blocked her path. "Little bandit, I lost my homework. If you can find it, I'll admit you're amazing!"

Xiao Zhao calmly pointed at the ashes in his family's stove. "It's all in there!"

Ji Xinghan stared at her in horror. "Are you human or a ghost?!"

Xiao Zhao dusted the ashes off her hands. "Help me stew that goose that keeps biting people, and I'll tell you."

Only later did people learn that Xiao Zhao's astonishing abilities were all thanks to her eyes.

The happy little bandit is busy finding gossip every day.

She gets the scoop from one household, then helps out another,

Settles the Zhang family's grudge and saves the Li family's young man.

Much later,

Her farmer father transformed into a university student, and her peasant mother took her seat in a college classroom.

Their classmates, full of admiration, asked them for the secret to getting top marks!

The couple smiled at each other. "Because the auspicious star shines bright in our home."

It turned out Xiao Zhao had a pocket dimension that led to a secret valley.

Even the revision books her parents used for the college entrance exam had been found there!
