He Tiantian treated everyone around her with a grateful heart. However, reaching middle age, she discovered she had been living inside a full-bodied lie.
Returning to the year 1970, He Tianti...

Leading the pack this time is the shooting athlete who broke China's gold medal drought at the last Olympics. He's also a strong favorite to win gold this time.
Everyone worked hard to achieve good results.
He Tiantian followed her teammates, wearing a red T-shirt and a white skirt that reached five centimeters above her knees. The male team members wore similar tops to the female athletes and white pants.
No matter how important the occasion, Chinese red has always been the main color.
This outfit was designed by Jiang Wenwen herself. It features many auspicious cloud patterns and a five-star red flag on the chest. It's very beautiful.
Many athletes, including He Tiantian, love this sportswear!
It looks good, is stylish, and is comfortable.
As everyone walked in the procession, the announcer introduced the countries and athletes that were passing by. Although He Tiantian wasn't walking in the first place, she was still at the very front. Her hair, which was loose, reached just to her shoulders, revealing her delicate face. Her features were exquisite: large, round eyes that were slightly upturned, a full forehead, a pretty, straight nose, rosy lips, and a slender figure.
This is the Olympics, and it's being broadcast by many countries, including China.
Grandma Wang was watching a live stream at home when several children asked for leave. The teacher was quite understanding and let them watch He Tiantian's live stream at home. The teacher agreed so readily because the children had good grades, and taking leave wouldn't affect their performance. Also, there was the handsome appearance of Snake King Li Xian, who had been fawning over the teacher, giving her gifts, and saying a lot of nice things before finally getting them leave.
"Hey, I've gone to great lengths for you little rascals," said the Snake King. "I'm all smiles now."
"Hehe, my cousin is the most handsome," Huo Ruimin praised. "My cousin is the best!"
"Not bad, he has a conscience," the Snake King said, sitting in his chair with a smug smile.
Huo Ruihua brought over a glass of plum juice and said, "Uncle, this is plum juice made by Aunt Lu. Please have some to cool off in the summer."
"You're not bad either," the Snake King praised, commending the child for his discerning eye.
Huo Jian quickly massaged the Snake King's shoulders and asked, "Uncle, is that enough pressure?"
"Hmm, not bad, a little more force would be even better." The Snake King squinted comfortably, shaking his head.
Huo Xiaosan and Huo Xuanxuan, one on each side, massaged the snake king's legs.
At this moment, the Snake King was enjoying the treatment befitting a king.
"Uncle, are you comfortable?" Huo Xiaosan asked. If he could make his uncle comfortable, he could take time off every day to watch TV.
"Alright, all right, don't worry. I'll ask for leave for you again in three days," the Snake King said. "But after watching the live broadcast, you must study hard and review your lessons. Don't fall behind in your grades, otherwise, no matter how good-looking or eloquent I am, the teacher won't agree."
"Yes, yes, it's my cousin," the children said in unison.
Seeing them chatting, Grandma Wang reminded them, "The opening ceremony has started! Come on, let's watch TV!"
Upon hearing Grandma Wang's reminder, they immediately turned to the television, their eyes glued to it.
At the opening ceremony, other countries were just casually observing, waiting for the Chinese team to appear.
“Mom, that’s Mom!” Huo Xiaosan exclaimed. “I saw Mom.”
"Yes, yes, I saw it too." Huo Xuanxuan said excitedly, holding Huo Xiaosan's hand.
Huo Ruihua and Huo Ruimin were also very excited, staring at the TV.
As if she had a premonition, He Tiantian raised her head, waved her hand, as if greeting her relatives and friends outside the television.
"Mom looks so beautiful."
"Mom is the most beautiful."
"Mom is amazing."
The children started praising their mother.
Not only Grandma Wang watched, but Grandpa Huo, Grandma Huo, and a group of elderly people watched together. They watched and commented on the athletes from different countries.
After looking at them all, I still think the Chinese red of China is the most beautiful.
Of course, Madam Huo always thought her granddaughter-in-law was the most beautiful.
After the opening ceremony, everyone cheered on the field, feeling very happy and excited as they celebrated the start of the Games.
Everyone praised He Tiantian, saying that the Chinese team was full of energy.
"Sister-in-law, your granddaughter-in-law is really amazing," said Madam Tang. "She's so spirited. Winning a gold medal is a tremendous honor."
"Hehe, your daughter-in-law is quite nice too," said Madam Huo. "Zhengmin is both beautiful and filial; she and your fourth son are a perfect match."
They've been neighbors for decades, so naturally they understand what the other person cares about.
The old lady Tang cared most about her youngest son, and when she heard the old lady Huo's praise, she was overjoyed.
"I never expected this, I really never expected this," said Madam Tang. "I always hoped that Xiao Si could live a good life, but at that time Xiao Si's love life was unstable, which was so worrying. Fortunately, there was Zheng Min. Speaking of which, I also have to thank Tian Tian. She and Zheng Min are like sisters, so she is very outstanding."
"So, when it comes to finding a daughter-in-law, we can't just follow the elders' ideas. Let the younger generation find one themselves. As long as she's not a scoundrel, as long as the children are happy with her, that's fine," said Madam Huo. "Our two families' younger generations are finally at peace. Look at those families that are constantly causing trouble at home because of other women; they're showing signs of ruin."
"That's right!" said Madam Tang, her mind filled with Buddhist chants.
Where there are many elderly women, the most discussed topics are naturally the younger generation.
They praised each other, and the Huo family received the most praise.
After the opening ceremony, the competition began.
The 1988 Summer Olympics in South Korea lasted 15 days, from September 17 to October 2, with 8,465 athletes from 159 countries and regions participating, including 2,186 female athletes and 6,279 male athletes.
The Chinese Olympic Committee sent a total of 299 people to participate in the competition, ranking eleventh among participating countries.
This time, the mascot is a little tiger, a very cute plush toy.
He Tiantian liked it very much, and when she went back, each of the children in her family received one.
This Olympic Games features 23 sports, with tennis and table tennis being newly added; demonstration sports include taekwondo, baseball, badminton, and Nenji judo, which are popular in South Korea.
He Tiantian didn't know how this Olympics was in her previous life, but she was absolutely certain that her arrival would bring about some changes.
Swimming is a major event in sports meets, attracting a large number of participants.
The sudden withdrawal of two female athletes from the Chinese team has caused a great stir domestically, but it hasn't had much impact internationally because the Chinese swimming team doesn't have much influence and hasn't won a gold medal yet, so it's not a major concern.
He Tiantian secretly resolved to work hard and achieve good results.
