An Eighties-Era Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine: The Irresponsible Aunt Brings the Kids to the City

[Entirely fictional setting]

[Raising children + Traditional Chinese medicine + Veterinary medicine + Food + 1v1 romance + Family life]

In 1979, two major things happened in Taoxi Village.

First, all the educated youths who had been sent down to the countryside returned to the city.

Second, the illiterate, lazy Meng family's daughter moved to the city with her niece and nephew.

Meng Zhu, a master of traditional Chinese medicine, found herself in a period romance novel as a foolish cannon-fodder character who was infatuated with the male lead. In the book, the original Meng Zhu went to meet him, leaving her niece and nephew to be kidnapped, and ultimately drowned herself.

Meng Zhu: Treasure your life and stay away from men. I’m going to find a job, get into college, make lots of money, and raise these kids.

In the late 1970s, large numbers of educated youths returned to the cities, making jobs there scarce.

After hitting a wall countless times, Meng Zhu, who had started out full of confidence, finally found two jobs she might be suited for.

1: Become a nanny.

2: Clean a public bathhouse.

Meng Zhu: Other people get rich overnight by riding the wave of reform when they end up in a period novel. Why is life so hard for me?

[The male lead appears late. No awful characters.]
