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 ...

Ye Tao tried to persuade her a few times, but the old lady next door was not moved at all. She even greeted Qi Mengmeng: "Little girl, what's your name?"
Qi Mengmeng smiled and didn't respond immediately.
Ye Tao stamped her feet, opened the gate, and walked next door, as if to persuade the old lady.
Two minutes later, the old lady came down from the wall in displeasure, and Ye Tao came back.
"I'm sorry, sister. I kept you waiting." The first thing Ye Tao said when she came back was to apologize to Qi Mengmeng.
"It doesn't matter. I don't have anything to do anyway. Does the lady next door often go over the wall?" Qi Mengmeng asked with pretended curiosity.
"That's right," Ye Tao said with a bitter smile, "Aunt Cui is almost 70 years old. Usually, she and her youngest grandson are the only ones at home. I guess the youngest grandson went out to play, and she had nothing to do, so she lay on the wall and talked to me."
Qi Mengmeng took a look at the wall. It was almost two meters high. She really didn't know how the old lady climbed up there.
Tiantian seemed to like Qi Mengmeng very much. After playing for a while, she sat next to them and listened to their conversation.
Qi Mengmeng took the opportunity to ask about things next door.
Ever since Ye Tao got married, she has been a neighbor of Aunt Cui's family and is very familiar with the Cui family's affairs. She thought Qi Mengmeng was curious, so she told her a lot of things about the Cui family.
The situation of the Cui family is similar to what Liu Dajiang said. The Cui family is of ordinary financial status, with four generations living together. When the Cui family's eldest grandson is about to get married, the family doesn't even have a separate wedding room, and the woman says she won't get married without a separate room.
So when the Cui family knew that Qi Huilan and her family wanted to move houses, they immediately agreed. Not only was the Qi family's house bigger, it was even newer than theirs, so how could they not agree?
"Yesterday, I saw Cui Yushu's girlfriend at the entrance of the alley. The two of them whispered for a long time. I heard the girl say that at most she could pay a little more money. If the Cui family didn't have a house anymore, her mother would introduce her to someone else."
After Ye Tao finished speaking, she saw that Qi Mengmeng and Tiantian were listening intently, and said awkwardly, "Did I say too much? Girl, please don't spread it."
Usually, Ye Tao and her three children are the only ones at home. There is a lot of housework and she has no time to go out. She finally meets Qi Mengmeng who is willing to listen to her, so she talks more.
"Sister Taozi, I didn't hear anything just now." Qi Mengmeng looked down at Tiantian. Tiantian smiled at her and ran away again.
Ye Tao breathed a sigh of relief and felt that Qi Mengmeng was a good person. She then took Qi Mengmeng to talk about family matters.
Ye Tao's husband is also a soldier. It is said that he is in the military district in Beijing and rarely comes home. Only his parents-in-law, Ye Tao and their three children are at home.
Ye Tao's mother-in-law is a worker in a textile factory, and her father-in-law works in a food factory. Ye Tao usually takes care of their three children at home.
Qi Mengmeng listened to Ye Tao talking about everything at home and reminded her, "Sister Taozi, you can't tell others about everything at home."
"You are not an outsider. You must be a good person since you can send Tiantian back today." Ye Tao looked sincere.
Good person Qi Mengmeng: …
"Mom, I'm back."
"Mom, I'm hungry."
The voices of the two boys came closer and closer, and Ye Tao's face instantly turned from bright to gloomy.
She looked around, picked up a stick from the corner, and hit each of the two boys who came in with two sticks.
"I asked you to take your sister out to play, but you two ran away so fast. Where's your sister?"
"If you two lose your sister, your father will eat you both when he comes back."
The stick in Ye Tao's hand hit the ground, making a dull sound.
The taller boy turned to look at the shorter boy: "Didn't you say Tiantian went home?"
"Isn't Tiantian there? Mom, why do you hit me when Tiantian is at home?" the short boy protested loudly.
"Yang Erhu," Ye Tao frowned, "Tiantian was able to come back because she met a kind person. If no one sent her back, what would happen if Tiantian got lost?"
"Yang Dahu," Ye Tao looked at the tall boy again: "You are the older brother. What did I tell you to do? I asked you to take good care of your younger siblings. Is this how you take good care of them?"
"Mom, I was wrong." Yang Dahu lowered his head and admitted his mistake.
"Mom, I was wrong." Yang Erhu was a little unwilling, but after being glared at by Yang Dahu, he admitted his mistake honestly.
Ye Tao pointed at Qi Mengmeng next to her and said, "This is Aunt Qi. She brought Tiantian back."
The two boys thanked together, "Thank you, Aunt Qi."
Qi Mengmeng smiled and said you're welcome, then took out two pieces of candy and gave one to each of the brothers.
Yang Erhu took it immediately and grinned, "Thank you, Aunt Qi."
The sound was two degrees sweeter than before.
Yang Dahu also took it and thanked him, then walked to the side and handed the candy in his hand to Tiantian.
Seeing this, Ye Tao snatched it away and said, "Tiantian has eaten two candies today, you can have this candy yourself."
Yang Dahu took the candy, put it in his pocket, and said to Tiantian, "Brother, I'll keep it for you. I'll give it to you tomorrow."
Tiantian nodded hurriedly.
Qi Mengmeng smiled and said to Ye Tao: "Sister Taozi, you have taught the children very well."
Ye Tao's eyes were full of smiles, but she said, "They are usually naughty, but the two older ones can help with some work."
As they were talking, Yang Erhu had already come up to Ye Tao and asked what she wanted to eat for lunch. He then went to help wash the rice.
Qi Mengmeng looked at her watch and it was already eleven o'clock. She stood up to leave, but Ye Tao stopped her and insisted on keeping her for dinner.
At that time, every household was not wealthy, and Qi Mengmeng didn't feel comfortable staying for dinner, so she declined with a smile.
Ye Tao was truly grateful to Qi Mengmeng and wanted to treat her to a meal, but Qi Mengmeng said she had to go back to cook and it was not convenient for her to stay for dinner.
Finally, the two agreed that Qi Mengmeng would come to play with Ye Tao again in a few days.
Ye Tao sent Qi Mengmeng to the door, she was so reluctant to leave. She loved talking to Qi Mengmeng so much. She talked so much, but Qi Mengmeng didn't think she talked too much.
Qi Mengmeng didn't expect that the Cui family actually had such an interesting neighbor. Maybe after they moved in, the two of them could become good friends.
Although Ye Tao said a lot, she only said that her man was in the Beijing Military Region and didn't say anything else.
Just now, when Aunt Cui climbed up the wall, Ye Tao rushed over immediately. It seems that she is also a kind person.
Qi Mengmeng decided to tell Qi Huilan what she had learned when she returned.
When Qi Huilan went out this morning, she opened the door and looked outside before leaving. Qi Mengmeng didn't want Qi Huilan to live that kind of life in the future.
Qi Mengmeng was thinking about something when she walked to the door of the state-owned hotel and went straight in.
Anyway, she was alone at noon and didn't want to cook, so she decided to have a meal at the state-owned restaurant. Anyway, she had enough money now.
She ordered a bowl of pork chop noodles and found an empty seat to sit down.
At the table next to her, a girl was slurping noodles as if she hadn't eaten for days.
