[Upcoming: Sixies Grain Hoarding Days. Please add it to your collection!] [One-line summary: After awakening her memories, a lazy young aunt from the 1970s works hard to earn diligence points!] After bumping her head, He Susu awakened to her memories. She had been a heavenly fairy sent down to the mortal world to undergo a trial, but something had gone wrong: she had been reborn as the lazy young aunt in a novel set in a bygone era. The heroine was going to be her future third sister-in-law. Not only did she gain access to the entire plot of the novel she had transmigrated into, but the Heavenly Dao also compensated her with a shopping System. The System's shop offered things that were scarce in that era: an egg, a pound of pork, a chicken, a tin of malted milk, a Plum Blossom brand watch... The shop's wares would keep updating as the times changed. To buy anything, she needed diligence points. How could she earn diligence points? Washing vegetables, cutting meat, cooking, washing dishes, doing laundry, washing bedsheets, cleaning, working in the fields... Thinking of all the tempting meat dishes and sweet malted milk, He Susu hesitated. Then she thought of how her family gave all the good things to her while hardly getting any meat for themselves. She clenched her little fists. I can do this! She washed a bowl, and it shattered with a crack. She stir-fried a dish, and the moment the fire flared up, the food burned. She washed a shirt, and one tug tore a hole in it. He family's parents: "Sweetheart, leave it alone. We'll do it!" He family's three older brothers: "Little sister, don't do any work. You might hurt yourself!" Looking at the diligence points piling up in the System's shop, He Susu smiled brightly. "Dad, Mom, I can do more work!" Before they knew it, the He family's life was getting better and better. * Everyone in the village said, "How can anyone spoil their daughter like the He family does? She's grown up, and they still won't let her work in the fields or do housework. She probably can't even fry rice or cook. How's she ever going to get married?" They even warned their own lovestruck sons: "Don't be fooled by the He family's pretty daughter. She's all looks and no use. You can marry anyone but her!" But later, the He family's daughter went to the army base with her third older brother and sister-in-law, and came back with a marriage prospect. The iron-blooded tough guy stood tall and proud, his stern features turning impossibly tender as he looked at the He family's daughter. Word was, he was a comrade of the He family's third son. A real big shot, too! The village women looked at their own sons, their hearts sour with envy. --Upcoming: Sixies Grain Hoarding Days-- Chen Manyu stayed up all night playing Snake and died of exhaustion. When she woke up, she found she'd become a lazy, gluttonous wife in a novel set in an army-family compound. Her twin sons were painfully thin from hunger. It was only half a year until the three years of hardship, and their household was almost out of food. Luckily, she got bound to a Snake game. She could only play one round a day, and reaching 10,000 or 100,000 points would randomly earn her a mysterious reward. Chen Manyu: This'll be easy! Rice, flour, pork... all sorts of food dropped at random, and Chen Manyu improved life for her two sons while putting away plenty of supplies. When the famine finally arrived and food ran short, everyone in the army-family compound was pinching pennies and too weak from hunger to move. Only the Chen family's notoriously lazy, food-loving wife and her children were growing rounder by the day. P.S. A food-hoarding story about everyday eating and drinking. Theme: Hard work leads to a brighter future.
