[Set in the 1970s + Space + Broken Engagement + Golden Finger + Family Life + Attractive Leads]
After transmigrating to the 1970s, the first hurdle Xue Miaoyun faced was having her engagement...
Chapter 86 Dragon Horse
Wen Ya had not expected such a good thing to happen. She was actually confident that she would be able to get a good job after graduation and settle down in the capital with her husband and daughter. She didn't want to go back to that poor little village at all, and she didn't want her daughter to go back even more.
Wen Ya is not a person with a strong sense of self-esteem, maybe she was in the past, but after eight years in the countryside and six years of marriage, she has already known what is most important.
"Thank you, Miaoyun. I really want to bring my daughter to live with me. You don't know how terrible the village over there is, and how difficult it is for girls to live there. Do you know about ghost marriages? Even if the girls there die, their parents and brothers will suck their last breath of blood." Wen Ya seemed to recall something terrible, with tears in her eyes.
This scared Xue Miaoyun and Li Muzi. In their minds, Wen Ya was an image of determination and courage.
"Sister Wen Ya, don't worry. I will take you to see the house later. It doesn't matter if you don't have money. You can just live there first. I don't lack that little money." Xue Miaoyun said this sincerely. She and Cang Ling had salvaged a lot of jewels and gold before, all from foreign shipwrecks. He also melted the gold coins into small yellow croakers. She really doesn't lack money.
Wen Ya shook her head, "I'm fine, I'm fine."
Wen Ya wiped her eyes and calmed down. "Many girls in that village were thrown into chamber pots and drowned right after they were born, in order to scare off other girls who wanted to reincarnate. I saw a baby girl thrown into a chamber pot right after she was born... But I don't know if it was because she knew she was in danger, she held on to the edge tightly and cried heartbreakingly. But in the end, she couldn't escape... {1}"
Xue Miaoyun was shocked. Is it so scary?
Li Muzi was also very scared. She was the only girl in the family and had always been loved. I am well protected by my parents and brother. Even if I have heard some things, I just treat them as stories.
"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up, Sister Wen Ya, I'll take you to see the house. There's no rush about the rent. The children's matter is the most important." Xue Miaoyun knew best how important a person's childhood was. She herself is a good example.
Because she was born an orphan, she had no sense of security. After she grew up and saw some videos of couples not getting along well on the Internet, she gave up the idea of getting married. If I didn't have the golden finger in this life and knew that I had a way out, I'm afraid there would still be friction between me and Cang Ling.
Xue Miaoyun also knew that such thinking was problematic, but the trauma of childhood was not just talk.
It really takes a lifetime to heal from a childhood.
Wen Ya was stunned when she saw that Xue Miaoyun was even more anxious than she was.
Seeing her like this, Xue Miaoyun pulled her out and told her some knowledge about children's mental health. Although it may not be very accurate, the general meaning is clear.
Wen Ya was quite convinced by Xue Miaoyun. She always felt that Xue Miaoyun knew everything and was very powerful.
Hearing the seriousness of the situation, Wen Ya became anxious. She didn't want her daughter to become a cowardly, inferior, or self-deprecating person.
"Sister Wen Ya, this is the house I mentioned. It's over 80 square meters, with three bedrooms, a living room, and a bathroom. It's more than enough for a family of three. The people around here are all employees of the nearby machinery factory. Their quality is pretty good. After all, they are managed by the company. There's a primary school and a police station just a few hundred meters away. The public security is pretty good too."
This house was introduced by one of the previous residents of the courtyard. Xue Miaoyun had not originally planned to buy it. She would rather spend a little more money to buy a yard, which would make it much more convenient for renovation or demolition in the future.
But the owner of the house was in urgent need of money, so he got it at a 40% discount. It was only 800 yuan, so I decided to buy it.
I originally wanted to rent it out, but I didn't expect that it would be used at this time. If it were Wen Ya, she would not earn any money for the sake of her roommate.
Xue Miaoyun explained the situation clearly and said that she could pay the money back slowly. She is not in a hurry.
"I'm really taking advantage of you." Wen Ya felt very embarrassed. It was obvious that Miaoyun was helping her.
"We are related. We are in the same school, study in the same major, and live in the same dormitory. It's a great fate. Maybe I can ask Sister Wen Ya for help in the future."
Wen Ya knew that Miao Yun was comforting herself, "I took advantage of this, Miao Yun. I will do my best to help you whenever you need me in the future."
Xue Miaoyun was not a person who would procrastinate, so she went straight to transfer the ownership of the house. Wen Ya also wrote her an IOU for one thousand yuan.
Back at the courtyard, the three of them had rumbling stomachs.
"I'm so hungry!" Li Muzi fell on the mahogany sofa.
Xue Miaoyun was also very hungry.
"Come on, let's go out for dinner." Who has the energy to cook at this time?
"It's my treat." Wen Ya said immediately.
Neither Xue Miaoyun nor Li Muzi refused.
However, both of them chose a noodle restaurant that had just opened nearby.
The three of them sat at a table for four.
"There are quite a lot of people here." Business seems to be very good.
"Who would dare to open a shop without some skills at this time?" Wen Ya actually wanted to open a shop too, as her family used to run a tailor shop. Unfortunately, her father no longer had the energy to pick up the skills passed down from his ancestors.
"I didn't expect that someone would dare to open a store just a few days ago." If this had happened a year ago, it would have been considered a capitalist tail and illegal.
Xue Miaoyun nodded, "The more you suppress it, the more it will rebound. We are all ordinary people. In order to make a few pieces of silver and support our families, we can sometimes risk the world's condemnation."
"The lower the level of the people, the clearer their eyes and minds are. Once someone takes the first step, everyone will follow suit. On the contrary, people at a higher level dare not move." The other two agreed with Wen Ya's words.
"Girl, this is your beef noodles." The proprietress came over with a big bowl, smiling.
"Thank you." Xue Miaoyun felt that she had made a mistake. The bowl was so big.
"Oh, you are such a polite girl. You even said thank you. You are so pretty and you look like a scholar. These are the radishes we pickled ourselves. Please try them, young lady." The proprietress was very enthusiastic and looked at Xue Miaoyun with love.
"Thank you, sister." Xue Miaoyun smiled softly and her voice became several shades sweeter.
"Oh, no thanks, no thanks. How can I be your sister?" The proprietress had a happy and shy look on her face.

Li Muzi: …………
"Girl, do you like spicy food? There is vinegar here. I also braised the beef myself..."
Wen Ya: …………
Li Muzi: …………
Xue Miaoyun chatted with the boss's sister for a few words and learned that her name was Nian Guihua and her husband was Zhou Weiguo. Zhou Weiguo was a soldier, but he had retired. She is an expert in making Shaanxi noodles.
After they came back, they didn't have any other skills, so they used their retirement allowance to open this noodle shop.
