Chapter 1 Traveling Through Time

"Yunxi, wake up and get up for dinner." A slightly old female voice sounded beside the bed.

It’s so noisy! Lin Yunxi slightly frowned her beautiful eyebrows, turned over impatiently, and pulled the quilt to cover her head.

Mother Gu called out a few times, but when she saw her second daughter-in-law turned over and there was no movement, she sighed.

Then he put the dishes in his hands on the small stool beside the bed, walked forward and pushed Lin Yunxi's shoulder.

"Yunxi, get up and eat."

After being woken up twice in a row, Lin Yunxi instantly became grumpy.

She suddenly threw back the quilt and sat up, wanting to see who was so tactless.

Lin Yunxi was sleepy and slowly opened his eyes.

What caught my eye was a gray quilt with two or three large patches sewn on the quilt cover, which looked extremely shabby.

There was an old-fashioned wooden wardrobe at the foot of the bed, and on the right was a desk with a few yellowed books and a kerosene lamp on it. It looked eerie no matter how you looked at it.

The worst thing was that there was a strange woman in her fifties standing beside the bed. She was wearing an old navy blue dress and was staring at her.

Lin Yunxi was so frightened that she lost all her sleepiness in an instant. She clearly remembered that she slept in a 1.8-meter European-style bed last night. Why did she find herself in this place after waking up?

"I must be dreaming." Lin Yunxi patted his cheek, trying to wake himself up.

Then, she reached out and pinched her thigh fiercely, and felt a strong pain: "Ugh, it hurts."

Mother Gu looked at her second daughter-in-law's silly actions in confusion, and couldn't help but murmur in her heart:

Could it be that he fell and broke his head?

She felt a little uneasy, and her tone was a little cautious:

"Yunxi, I've left the meal here for you. Remember to eat it later. I'm going to work first."

Hearing the voice, Lin Yunxi finally came to her senses. In order to deal with the situation, she nodded hurriedly.

The head shouldn't be broken!

When Mother Gu saw her second daughter-in-law's response, she went to work with peace of mind, and did not forget to close the door before leaving.

It was the busy farming season, and if one was late one's work points would be deducted. Mother Gu did not dare to delay and walked quickly towards the rice fields.

After Gu's mother left, Lin Yunxi sat on the bed with a confused look on her face. She just took a nap, but how come she woke up in this strange place?

She pounded her fists against her head, desperately trying to understand what was going on.

Suddenly, waves of severe pain came from the head that had been hit, and then a stream of memories that did not belong to her flooded in like a tide.

The pain lasted for ten minutes, during which time Lin Yunxi also sorted out the whole story.

She traveled through time and space to the year 1970 in a parallel universe.

This is Gujia Village under the jurisdiction of Su Province in China. The owner of this body has the same name as her, also called Lin Yunxi, and is 22 years old this year.

Unlike her, the original owner not only got married early, but also had a son named Gu Jiayan, who was exactly two years and eight months old.

Thinking of this, Lin Yunxi couldn't help but sigh. Time travel was fine, but marriage and children were really not in her plan.

The original owner was the only daughter of the Lin family. She was very cute since she was a child and was very much loved at home.

Lin's father and mother even supported her to finish high school, making her one of the few girls in the area to get a high school diploma.

In addition, she was extremely beautiful, so when she reached the age, many men who came to propose marriage to her were eager to get into the Lin family.

After careful consideration, Lin's father and mother chose Gu Zheng, the second son of the old Gu family in Gujia Village, for their daughter.

The reason is simple. Compared with other families who came to propose marriage, the Gu family is well-off, has a lot of labor force, and there is no mess at home.

In addition, Gu Zheng is a soldier, and Lin's father was unable to join the army when he was young due to health reasons, so he has a good impression of soldiers.

Moreover, Gu Zheng’s monthly allowance is very high, so my daughter will definitely live a good life after marrying him.

However, the original owner claimed to be a well-educated person who graduated from high school, and was very dissatisfied with her husband, a rough man who only graduated from junior high school.

In her mind, a good husband should be an intellectual who wears a white shirt, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and can chat with her about everything under the sun and literature.

If she hadn't been forced to get married by her parents, the original owner would probably still be daydreaming about marrying a city man so that she wouldn't have to stay in the countryside and deal with the land every day.

In the two years of marriage, the original owner and her husband Gu Zheng had only been together for one month. During this month, the two had constant conflicts, with a small quarrel every three days and a big quarrel every five days.

During the last month of their honeymoon leave, the two parted ways unhappily, and Gu Zheng returned to the army early. Only when it was time to send money every month would the original owner remember that she had a husband.

After marriage, the original owner, due to her age and unstable temper, plus she had some money in her pocket, gradually developed an unrestrained, arrogant and domineering character.

A few days ago, she had an argument with her third brother's wife from the old courtyard.

As the two of them were pushing each other, the original owner accidentally hit his head and died instantly. Lin Yunxi came right through.

Recalling this, Lin Yunxi did not have much resistance to time travel.

She grew up in an orphanage, without a father or a mother. In her original world, apart from the director's mother, there was no one else who cared about her.

It was just that the sudden appearance of her son and husband gave Lin Yunxi a bit of a headache, but only a little.

Lin Yunxi’s biggest wish has always been to have a family of her own and a child of her own, so that her life will no longer be lonely.

Now, God has given Lin Yunxi another chance to be reborn. From now on, she is the daughter-in-law of the Gu family and the mother of Gu Jiayan.

As for Gu Zheng, Lin Yunxi was not yet ready to accept a stranger as her husband. Fortunately, Gu Zheng had been in the army, giving her enough time to prepare.

It was getting late, the sun was already high in the sky, and the sound of summer cicadas chirping could be heard outside the window.

"Gurgle~" Lin Yunxi's stomach also made protest sounds at this moment.

She touched her belly, looked around, and noticed the breakfast placed on the bedside table: a bowl of rice and sweet potato porridge and a plate of dried radish, with half of the porridge being rice and half being sweet potato.

Lin Yunxi knew that this was the hospital meal that Gu's mother prepared specially for her. Ordinary people might not be able to eat a single meal of fine grains like rice throughout the entire year.

In my memory, this mother-in-law is a typical person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Although she scolds her daughter-in-law for being troublesome, she actually takes good care of her.

Nowadays every household eats cornmeal, sorghum and sweet potatoes. They can’t eat enough but they won’t starve to death.

There wasn't much fine food in the old house, but she was still the one eating it. Lin Yunxi was very touched. It felt so good to have someone care about her.

Then she picked up the clean clothes beside the bed, changed into them, and followed her memory to the yard to fetch water to wash.
