Qi Mengmeng had just finished paying off her mortgage and saved up her retirement fund, ready to enjoy life, when she took the wrong medicine after drinking and was sent to the 1970s.
On her ...

Zheng Meili just felt sorry for Zheng Yingying. She was not stupid. After being persuaded by Le Kangtai, she finally reacted.
She and Qi Zhijun were originally a couple who got married later in life. Qi Zhijun went to the Southern Military Region. If there was an opportunity for promotion in the future, and she did not follow Qi Zhijun to the South, who knows what would happen in the future.
So after hesitating for a long time, she decided to follow Qi Zhijun to the south.
"Yingying, if you have any questions, please write to us. I will give you the address when we arrive. Don't put yourself in a difficult position. Ask Kangtai to buy whatever you want to eat. I will give you a subsidy every month in the future."
The money in Zheng Meili's hand was actually given by Qi Zhijun.
Now think about it, Qi Zhijun has already promised her to subsidize Zheng Yingying. If she doesn't go to the south with him, what if Qi Zhijun regrets it later?
Thinking of this, Zheng Meili became a little nervous, and her rationality returned.
"Yingying, I won't stay here any longer. Let Kangtai take care of you. I have to go back and pack my things, otherwise your dad won't know where the things at home are."
Zheng Yingying herself was fine, but Zheng Meili was worried about her. She sat up and said, "Mom, I'll let Kangtai take you home."
It’s not certain if there’s a car going back now, so it would be faster to let Le Conte ride his bike to take her back.
Zheng Meili also wanted to go back early at this time, and was worried that Qi Zhijun would be really angry.
When Le Kangtai was riding a bicycle with Zheng Meili on the way back, Zheng Meili reminded him all the way to take good care of Zheng Yingying.
At this time, Qi Zhijun had not returned to his family compound, but was still with Qi Mengmeng.
Qi Mengmeng made dumplings for Qi Zhijun, hoping that everything would go smoothly for him.
After Qi Mengmeng came here, she made a lot of dumplings. She was very skillful and didn't need Qi Zhijun's help.
She asked Qi Zhijun for his opinion and made diced eggplant and meat.
Peel the eggplant and cut it into slices. Roast the eggplant slices over low heat to dry the moisture. Then cut the eggplant slices into cubes and add them to the prepared meat filling. It tastes especially delicious.
Qi Mengmeng cut two large eggplants, added half a pound of meat and scooped a large spoonful of lard. The cooked dumplings oozed oil and tasted particularly fragrant.
In addition to dumplings, Qi Mengmeng also bought two pounds of pork head, opened a can of fruit, made a cold cucumber salad, and fried peanuts.
Qi Zhijun smacked his lips and said, "Such a delicious dish would be even better if I drank two liang of it."
Qi Mengmeng handed him the vinegar bowl and pretended not to hear.
Qi Zhijun has to go back home later, so he can't drink alcohol. What if something happens?
Qi Zhijun also knew that he couldn't drink now, he was just talking just now.
He ate a dumpling first, then picked up a peanut, and squinted his eyes in delight.
Qi Zhijun ate the whole plate of dumplings, taking a bite of dumplings and a bite of vegetables, leaving only some pork head meat.
Qi Mengmeng put the extra dumplings into the lunch box, and also put the remaining pork head and peanuts into the lunch box.
"Dad, save these for dinner."
Qi Zhijun did not refuse, as this was his daughter's wish.
After dinner, Qi Zhijun took the bedding that Qi Mengmeng had prepared for him to the post office to send it. He also planned to take the canned meat, spare ribs and other things back home and take them on the train.
Qi Mengmeng asked Qi Zhijun what time he would get on the bus and planned to give him a ride tomorrow.
Qi Zhijun came home carrying a bunch of things. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Zheng Meili packing her things.
"Have you eaten? Should I cook some noodles for you?" Zheng Meili reached out to take the things in Qi Zhijun's hand.
Qi Zhijun didn't refuse, but he said, "This is the meat sauce and smoked pork ribs that Mengmeng prepared for me."
Zheng Meili paused, Zheng Yingying had not prepared anything for them.
Qi Zhijun was not criticizing Zheng Meili, he was just narrating as usual.
Zheng Meili poured him a glass of water flatteringly and said, "I have packed all the things at home. Let's take them on the train when we leave tomorrow."
"Um."
"Yingying and Kangtai wanted to send us off, but I saw that Yingying was not feeling well, so I didn't agree."
"Um."
Qi Zhijun's expression was so dull that Zheng Meili didn't know what to say and could only walk towards the kitchen.
"I'll go make you something to eat."
"No, I had some dumplings at Mengmeng's place. Mengmeng cooked these for me to eat in the evening."
Qi Zhijun pointed to the lunch box in the net bag.
For the first time, Zheng Meili felt a little bit resentful towards Qi Mengmeng. Why was there so much trouble? Why did she have to make dumplings? Didn't it make it obvious that Zheng Yingying was not good to Qi Zhijun?
Qi Zhijun ignored Zheng Meili's attitude. He wanted to sort out some things in the drawer, which were usually locked.
Zheng Meili watched Qi Zhijun enter the room, feeling a little flustered, and quickly followed him.
"Lao Qi, we agreed to go shopping, why don't we buy some at the service center later?"
"No, the tickets I have are all military tickets, which can be used in the south." Qi Zhijun refused directly, "I'm a little tired, I want to rest for a while."
Zheng Meili watched Qi Zhijun lie down and walk out of the room. She was really a little nervous, worried that Qi Zhijun didn't want her anymore.
Qi Zhijun didn't have any thoughts in this regard. He just didn't want to talk to Zheng Meili.
Until the next morning, when they set out for the train station, Qi Zhijun did not take the initiative to talk to Zheng Meili. At most, he would answer when Zheng Meili spoke to him.
The army sent a car to take them to the train station, but Zheng Meili didn't want to show it in front of outsiders.
They had a lot of luggage, so Qi Zhijun and the young soldier who came to help checked in most of the luggage.
When Qi Mengmeng came over, only Zheng Meili was looking at the remaining things.
"Auntie Zheng, this is the food I prepared for you. You can eat it on the train." Qi Mengmeng handed the cloth bag that she had prepared in advance to Zheng Meili.
Zheng Meili didn't expect Qi Mengmeng to come and see them off, so she declined, "No, I prepared some food, you can take it back."
Qi Mengmeng didn't expect Zheng Meili to refuse. Seeing that they were about to leave, Qi Mengmeng didn't want to conflict with her.
"This is what I prepared for my dad, as a token of my love." Qi Mengmeng didn't hand it to her, but looked around instead.
"Your dad went to check in the luggage." Zheng Meili also looked around. She just said that on impulse. Now she wanted to ask for something, but it was not convenient for her to take it from Qi Mengmeng.
Fortunately, Qi Zhijun came back after finishing the formalities. He was very happy to see Qi Mengmeng.
"Mengmeng, you're here? Did you take another day off? Go back to work soon."
Although he said that, the expression on his face was very gentle and everyone could see that he was happy.
Qi Mengmeng handed him the things in her hand. These were all made by her early in the morning.
"Look at you, you're here and you still get up early to make breakfast for me. It happens that I haven't eaten enough. I'll eat when I get on the train."
Qi Zhijun quickly took the cloth bag from Qi Mengmeng's hand.
