A happy-go-lucky wild child of a heroine versus a sharp-tongued, scheming hero who can't beat her

Feng Leyan had lived in the countryside with her grandmother since birth. She could climb trees to pick fruit, dive into the water to catch fish and shrimp, and had a life that was practically heavenly.

It all came to an end just before she started primary school, when her grandmother suddenly insisted on sending her to her parents' home in the provincial capital. Her sensible, well-behaved older sister already lived there. If she honestly compared herself to her sister, wouldn't she get beaten with a cane every day for being a little troublemaker?

No way! She couldn't bear to leave Grandma! (serious face)

But whether Feng Leyan went on a hunger strike or threw a tantrum in a tree, Grandma still grabbed her by the collar and took her to the provincial capital. Her parents had temporarily settled in a place called Jixiangfang.

On the first day the family met, her father frowned and her mother looked surprised, each with their own concerns. Feng Leyan had her own little plan too: she was going to secretly save up enough money to go back to the countryside!

Later: Her parents worked frantically to buy a home and register as local residents, her sister dragged her little shadow to school every day, and Feng Leyan began to think the provincial capital was a pretty nice place.

Scene One:

In the city, even spitting in the street could get you fined, so Feng Guoxing was always thinking that once he had saved enough money, he would go back to the countryside.

But when his younger daughter came to the city too, he had to start considering the possibility of staying there.

He went to the police station to ask about the blue-stamp household registration policy and found out that a household registration in Haishi cost a million yuan. He figured the provincial capital, being an international metropolis too, probably had similar requirements.

Feng Guoxing's vision went black, and he fainted at the police station.

Scene Two:

The first time Feng Leyan met Liang Yancheng, she called him her little sister.

The second time they met, Liang Yancheng treated her like she wasn't there.

The third time they met, they were assigned to the same class.

On the first day of school cleanup, Feng Leyan crouched on the windowsill, planning a route to escape school and go back to the countryside.

Just as she was about to jump down, an unexpected, slight push came from behind.

Feng Leyan fell into a pile of dead leaves. She turned around with leaves in her hair, but the culprit had already blended in with the rowdy students.

On the day the suspect was caught, Liang Yancheng asked, "There are fifty-two students in our class. Why did you decide he was the culprit?"

Feng Leyan said just one thing, and Liang Yancheng fell to his knees with a thump, begging her not to tell his parents. He promised that from then on, he, Liang Yancheng, would be Feng Leyan's lackey.

Feng Leyan: "..."

Liang Yancheng was the son of the richest family in Jixiangfang. The family was rich for a reason: they owned seven shops in Shengping Market and two buildings in Jixiangfang, including a small Western-style house. Liang Yancheng really had been born with a golden spoon in his mouth, with ten lifetimes of comfort ahead of him.

And this pampered young master was actually offering to be her lackey?

Coming soon: The Female Technician of the Seventies

[The Rise of the Home Appliance Industry]

Resume-style blurb:

In 1975, Su Qingyun became a technician at the agricultural machinery station of Ligang Commune.

In 1978, Su Qingyun became Station Chief Su, who had no desk, only a repair bench, as the villagers called her.

In 1982, Su Qingyun became the director of Caiyun Home Appliance Factory, a township enterprise in Ligang Village.

The factory director wasn't just receiving declarations of love from the brash young men at her factory. Even her business rivals joined in.

After negotiations, they wanted to invite her to dinner and continue discussing a project with a one-lifetime term.

Before Su Qingyun could refuse, the usually tactful director of the Trade Office calmly capped his pen and said, "Sorry, our kid has been nagging us for ages to throw her a birthday party."

Su Qingyun: "..." They had only just started holding hands. Where did this kid come from?

Harvest-themed blurb

Su Qingyun graduated from an agricultural university with the honorable title of Outstanding Graduate, then returned to her hometown of Ligang Village with all her skills to become a technician at the village agricultural machinery station.

She was ready to make her mark at the station, but it had next to nothing. The tractor was broken, there was no rice huller, and two of the three employees had gotten their jobs through connections.

There was also a troublesome villager who kept picking fights. At last, Su Qingyun got her chance to make a name for herself.

Coming soon: Street Stalls in the Eighties

[A Fiery Pepper with a Sharp Tongue versus a Rough Man Who Fell for Her at First Sight]

He San-yuan, an unemployed young woman, was lounging comfortably at home when her mother, who should have been doing mending at the alley entrance, hurried home with two pieces of good news!

1. The long-rumored Chang Geng Road Industrial Lights Night Market was finally becoming a reality, with room for more than a hundred stalls to open for business!!!

2. The stall fees were astronomical for their family, but no problem! If she agreed to meet Lu Er from West Street, she was guaranteed to get a stall!

He San-yuan sat up, then lay back down. If she was going to meet Lu Er, she'd be better off spending that time hauling dung from the public toilets.

Lu Er was a little thug who had made himself the boss of West Street through sheer brute force. Everyone except He San-yuan had to call him Brother Lu.

Theme: Ordinary people can be the protagonists too
