The 1990S Beloved Little Sister Can Hear Thoughts

Slowly filling in the details Everyone in the village had long heard that the youngest daughter of the Jiang family was slow-witted. Only her family knew that she seemed dazed because she was always talking to things no one else could see. And every one of them could hear her thoughts. * Eldest Brother Jiang rescued an old gentleman by the roadside. To repay him, the old gentleman offered to take him as an apprentice and bring him to the capital to study medicine. His family all thought the old gentleman was a swindler and didn’t want Eldest Brother Jiang to leave. Only Jiang Chengcheng rushed over and grabbed her brother’s hem, screaming in her heart. [An unparalleled master of traditional Chinese medicine! He’s a national treasure, Big Brother! Go, go!] Eldest Brother Jiang patted Jiang Chengcheng’s back as she fretted. “How about I take Chengcheng to see the big city?” Second Brother Jiang was obsessed with keeping up with the latest trends and had a crazy love for motorcycles. He had his eye on a Honda that cost thirty thousand yuan. He secretly took Chengcheng to the market, hoping his little sister would plead his case to their mother. [The price will drop as soon as Second Brother buys it? What a rip-off! If he waits another month, he could buy a car with that money.] Second Brother Jiang: !!! “Chengcheng, how about I take you to buy some racing car game discs!” In the middle of a heavy rainstorm, rain leaked into Jiang Chengcheng’s little room, so her mother held her as they slept. She couldn’t watch TV while it was thundering, so she listened to ‘Xiaohua’ tell her stories. [What’s property speculation? Can you speculate in houses?] [If prices go up, will Mom be unable to afford one?] [Apartment buildings have lightning rods. Does that mean you can watch TV even when there’s thunder?] Jiang Chengcheng’s eyes sparkled as she looked at her mother. “Mom, I want to live in an apartment building too.” ** A few years later, whenever people mentioned the Jiang family, the villagers were full of envy. “Have you heard? The eldest Jiang brother is an incredible doctor. People from Yanjing even come to ask him to treat them.” “And the second brother drives the latest model of car now. I hear he opened a factory and is making a fortune.” “Old Jiang says their family’s fortunes took off the year his youngest daughter was born. That little girl really is a lucky star.” Whenever Jiang Chengcheng came up, the women washing clothes would look embarrassed. They used to look down on the Jiang family for doting on such a silly child. Now, when they thought about the Jiang family’s life and compared it with their own, they had nothing to say. * Ensemble cast * A heartwarming family story about growing up, with face-slapping moments * The setting is partly fictionalized, with some original worldbuilding * More details may be added ---------Please add this to your reading list--------- "Can the 1990s Food Blind Box Be Turned In to the Government?" After He Tingting died unexpectedly, she transmigrated to the 1990s. She also brought along an extremely basic blind box System. She could open one box a day. Nine times out of ten, it contained kitchen ingredients, while the remaining time it held some little item she didn’t recognize. Only she and her ten-year-old younger sister were left in the family. To make ends meet and earn enough to send her sister back to school, He Tingting returned to her old trade as a chef. She went out to sell food on a tricycle, and none of the ingredients from her blind boxes went to waste. They all ended up in her wok. In less than a week, He Tingting had become the famous lunchbox beauty near Beiqing University. What’s more, students said that after eating her food, they seemed blessed with divine help in their studies. They could grasp anything they learned with ease. This caught the attention of the university leadership. Several professors bought meals from He Tingting together. Their minds felt clear and sharp, as if they’d become a decade younger, and they promptly solved several difficult technical problems. In an era without the internet, He Tingting managed to sell lunchboxes from her street stall and get herself noticed by the top officials. When the government recruited her, He Tingting didn’t hesitate for even half a second. She quickly packed up every last thing at home and handed it all over. As for He Tingting herself, she cheerfully went to work in the university cafeteria as the head chef for the professors and doctoral students. She hadn’t been happy for more than a few days when the government came hurrying back. “How many of these high-precision detectors do you have?” He Tingting took a look. Wasn’t that the little tray she’d thrown away as garbage? So it was high-tech! She smiled awkwardly. “Leader, this item has a low drop rate. I only get one every few dozen tries.” She thought that was the end of it, but the next day a neatly turned-out soldier showed up at her door. He Tingting jumped. “Did I do something wrong?” “You’ve got it wrong,” the handsome soldier explained. “My superior sent me to assist you.” “Assist me? What do I need help with?” Seeing her bewildered, the soldier cleared his throat and explained, a little sheepishly, “Back at the base, they call me Lucky Star.” He Tingting understood at once. So they’d sent her a lucky guy. Later, in just over a decade, Huaguo’s technological development surpassed the achievements other countries had spent decades accumulating. When another aircraft carrier was launched, a leader was asked in an interview, “Why has Huaguo’s technology advanced so quickly?” He answered with a beaming smile, “The key is making sure our researchers eat and drink well.” - Unlucky chef god × lucky army cook Theme: Building harmonious families and a better life
