In her previous life, the life Song Hongguo dreamed of was a house nestled between mountains and water, with a big courtyard. She'd enjoy the flowers in the front yard, grow vegetables in the back, and raise a flock of chickens and ducks. In her spare time, she'd drink tea, watch shows, and cook delicious food, living as elegantly as a little fairy. To make that dream come true sooner, she worked herself to death.
But when she opened her eyes again, she was back in the countryside many years earlier. Looking at the low, cramped house, the muddy dirt road, and the trees stripped bare by starving people, she gritted her teeth. "System, get out here!"
The System argued confidently, "Isn't this the country life of your dreams? Mountains, water, and a big courtyard. An earthen house, a thatched fence, smoke rising from every chimney, and chickens crowing and dogs barking. How poetic!"
Song Hongguo nearly choked with rage. "It's this run-down, and you expect me to believe your nonsense?"
The System grew even more brazen. "Renovating old houses is all the rage now, isn't it? Think of all those influencers living like little fairies. You can do it too."
Song Hongguo rolled her eyes. "Oh, get out of here! You know you need ration coupons to buy anything, supplies are scarce, and people can barely get enough to eat?"
The System's voice was as beguiling as the serpent in Eden. "Building everything with your own hands will make you even happier. Besides, with me around, would I let you go hungry?"
"Hah..."
It still thought it could fool her?
But somehow, after being fooled again and again, she became a food blogger, had two powerful sons, and married the factory's most envied handsome heartthrob. Turns out the countryside really was a place where great things could be done!
