Xiang Yuan transmigrated.
As she sat in the woods, strange sounds rustled all around her, like mice scurrying through a pile of dry leaves.
The evening moon was pale and thin, hanging in the sky. Unfamiliar birds called out, and shadows swayed among the trees. It felt as if a wild boar might charge out at any moment and trample her into the dirt.
Then a man appeared in the woods, carrying a woven bamboo basket on his back and holding a flashlight that he shone on Xiang Yuan's face.
Xiang Yuan realized the problem. People always said not to pick up a man on the roadside, but she was a woman on the roadside, waiting to be picked up.
Luckily, the man was handsome and looked honest. He seemed a little poor, but otherwise he was acceptable.
The day after Yuan Zhao brought Xiang Yuan home, she learned that people in this era were so poor they could barely afford food. But she was craving meat and insisted on having some. After waiting all morning, the man brought her meat:
A huge rat.
Xiang Yuan: "Who would eat something as disgusting as rat meat?"
Yuan Zhao: "I'll do my best to make it taste good."
Xiang Yuan: I mean it's disgusting! It's not about whether it tastes good. We only have salt for seasoning!
Yuan Zhao had brought home a woman from the mountains. She was beautiful, fair-skinned, and tall. She was good in every way except one: she seemed a little out of her mind and was always saying that her father was rich.
Xiang Yuan couldn't help it. She had bragged to Yuan Zhao that her father would invest in their little village and turn it into a major resort.
Only after making that promise did she realize...
She had transmigrated to 1972, and her father hadn't even been born yet!
Everyone in the village knew that Yuan Zhao had brought home a woman who was out of her mind. She might be pretty, but she was useless.
They mocked him behind his back, but who could have guessed...
Her life just kept getting better and better.
A pampered young lady who loves to pout and make a fuss X a hardworking, taciturn country man
Life in the Mountain Country in the 1970s
Li Cong had just attended her grandmother's funeral. After three sleepless days and nights, before she even had a chance to rest, she transmigrated into the body of a female student in the 1970s.
They had the same name and surname, and even looked about eighty percent alike.
Eighteen-year-old Li Cong had just listened to a report on the exemplary deeds of young people sent to work in the countryside. Deeply inspired, she decided to work hard after going down to the countryside. In her hand was a notice ordering her to go, stamped with a bright red seal. Her destination was the Sanshui Farm in Yueshan Town.
Twenty-five-year-old Li Cong stared at the notice, unable to calm herself. The Sanshui Farm in Yueshan Town was her home.
She had reunited with her young grandmother at another point in time.
Li Cong became an educated youth at Sanshui Farm. The conditions were harsh, and worst of all, there was rarely enough to eat. She felt sorry for herself, but even more for her grandmother. Life was just too hard!
So Li Cong decided to take a risk and find a way to make a living on the black market. Just as she was getting ready to throw herself into it, she stepped outside and ran into Yan Liuan and her grandma.
Her young grandmother took Yan Liuan by the hand and said, "Congcong, would you like a husband?"
Yan Liuan leaned against the doorframe, tilted his head, and smiled at her. "If you agree, we'll go find the brigade leader."
Li Cong: ... This is going to kill me.
Yan Liuan had arrived at Sanshui Farm a year before her. He had plenty of ration coupons and money, and the fabric of his clothes was the finest. He was clearly from a wealthy family and could afford meat without even doing fieldwork. And now he was asking to marry her?!
Yan Liuan had been reborn. He had died three years after Li Cong. Miserable and tormented by anxiety, he had lived in a constant state of dread. His wife, Li Cong, had been beaten to death three years earlier after being caught in an affair.
Theme: Live well and strive for a better life.
The heroine has always felt stupid, and the hero has been trying to deal with the aftermath of the heroine
I really can't stand the heroine's hands being exposed like that and feeding other people every day.
Everyone has said it's not good. I don't want anyone to accompany me. I just go here by myself.
Is the heroine an idiot? There are people who are stupid enough to provoke Lin even though they know she is not a good person.
I don't understand why I have to fight with Lin Fenghua
Since you don't plan to get married, why do you want others to make steamed eggs for you?
This chapter finally has a refreshing point. The heroine is beaten and given food. It is good for her, but it can only gain something, such as being beaten. If the heroine wants to be nice to the man, she can become his relative, so that she has a reason to be nice to him. Sacrificing oneself to save others is a good virtue, at least it is better than sacrificing others to save others. In this way, the male protagonist lives a lonely life, and the female protagonist also saves the little boy.
The heroine is so stupid in this chapter that I'm a little angry... Uh uh uh, there won't be such a weird plot later, right?
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha about the fastest getting married (except those who were married from the beginning)
I ignored all the ridiculous parts without thinking. The progress was so fast that I was very satisfied. The interaction between the male and female protagonists was adorable.
