Chapter 2 Daily Life

After she had resolved her own affairs before her death, Zhang Weifang allowed the system to transfer the memories of her current body to her.

Frame by frame, the images were transmitted into her brain like a movie. Zhang Weifang spent the next moment thoroughly digesting the fact of her time travel and the memories of her original body.

The original name was also Zhang Weifang, with the same name and surname as her. She was an 18-year-old girl who just received her high school diploma last month.

High school students born in 1961 are relatively rare. Generally, they will be directly hired by an organization after graduation and will not have trouble finding a job.

Zhang Weifang lives in Shuanglong Village, Lizhuang Commune, Le'an County, Weiyu City, Shanhe Province. He is a native rural person.

Her parents were both authentic farmers. Her father Zhang Jiuyun and her mother Zhang Qiao Na had a total of ten children. Four of them died young, and there are still six left alive today, three sons and three daughters.

As the eldest daughter in the family, Zhang Weifang has been ambitious and smart since childhood. She doesn't want to work hard all her life, so she studies very hard.

Zhang's family was very poor, but they used all their resources to support her through high school. They thought she could help reduce the burden on the family after graduation, but who knew that she would still have to wait for a job.

She is now eighteen years old. In that era, other girls of the same age were already married and had children.

Everyone was already quite critical of the Zhang family for supporting a girl's education, and now that she has graduated and doesn't even have a job, the rumors around her are endless.

Zhang Weifang is a person of few words but sensitive and thoughtful. Facing the endless sarcasm and ridicule from others, she said nothing on the surface, but kept it in her heart. Not long after, she fell ill. This benefited Zhang Weifang who traveled through time with the Yue Lao system.

After reading about the original body's experience, Zhang Weifang also felt regretful. Although she didn't know where the original body had gone, she accepted this body and decided to live a good life.

Zhang Jiuyun is 44 years old this year. His hair is already gray and his face is full of wrinkles. His dark skin has a faint luster. He is holding a pipe and smoking it.

Sitting on the bluestone next to him was a short middle-aged woman with her hair tied up behind her head with a black hairband. Her eyes were small but bright. She was holding a few hemp ropes in her hands and rubbing them on her calves.

The woman is 38-year-old Zhang Qiao Na. She is not tall, only 1.5 meters, and her feet are less than 20 centimeters long. However, she is a good worker and can do everything at home and outside.

"Is Weifang feeling better today?" Zhang Jiuyun asked casually. He had never been to school, so he always valued intellectuals. This was also the reason why he always let his eldest daughter study.

Zhang Qiaona didn't even look up, but said in a clear voice, "The fever is gone. Just drink the herbs for another two days and it should be fine."

Zhang Qiaona has a very nice voice, with a clear tone and a sense of calmness.

As the two were talking, they heard a child's voice coming from outside the door:

"Mom, mom, is the meal ready? I'm starving."

Zhang Qiaona clapped her hands and stood up. She looked at her son who ran into the house and scolded him with a smile:

"Hungry, hungry, all I do is cry out for hunger every day."

While cursing, he walked quickly into the kitchen, took out a fist-sized sorghum steamed bun from the cupboard and handed it to his eldest son.

"Eat sparingly, it's still early for dinner."

"Mom, I understand." The 12-year-old boy swallowed the steamed bun in two or three bites and ran out without even drinking the water.

"I don't know when this bad year will end!" Zhang Qiao Na sighed casually.

Zhang Weifang in the room has now figured out his situation. Everyone in this place lives in caves and sleeps on earthen kangs with stone fronts. They are very sturdy and keep warm in winter and cool in summer.

The only downside is that it's not very light-transmitting. There's only a small wooden lattice window above the door, less than one meter high, with white window paper pasted on it. It's also dark in the house during the day, but you'll get used to it.

The kang was very big and could accommodate four or five people. Zhang Weifang lay in the middle. In her memory, her two younger sisters should have been sleeping on both sides.

Opposite the kang, there is an octagonal table against the wall, on which there is a thermos wrapped in bamboo. It is a luxury item in this family. It was brought back by my second uncle who was serving in the army.

Next to the table was a large wooden box, which was the wardrobe of the three sisters. It contained their clothes, although there were only a few pieces in total.

There are several large vats next to the earthen kang, which contain various grains. There are also several baskets on top of the vats, which contain some needles and thread. This is all that is in this room.

Zhang Weifang looked around and found that although there were not many things, they were arranged very neatly. The table was also clean without any dust. It seemed that this was a very hardworking family.

Zhang Weifang is still very satisfied with her current situation. Her family is harmonious and friendly, and her parents are thrifty.

Zhang Weifang fell asleep again in her wild thoughts. An hour later, she finally woke up completely and felt much better. At this time, she began to ask the Yue Lao system:

"System, what does this Yue Lao system mean? Do you want me to be the Yue Lao?"

The Yue Lao System's mouth opened and closed: "That's about right. Let me give you a detailed introduction first."

After the system explained for half an hour, Zhang Weifang completely understood the function of this system. When checking a person's marital status, the wordless book will show the person on the other end of the red line, and will also write the matching degree and happiness degree.

Zhang Weifang's role is to match people up, either actively or passively. As long as the degree of matching and happiness is high enough, she can earn points, which can be used for shopping in the system.

If Zhang Weifang allows two unsuitable people to get together, she will deduct the corresponding points, but matters of the heart cannot be forced, and she cannot take some tough measures, otherwise it will backfire.

It can only be said that with the Yue Lao system, people can avoid many risks in marriage, but when facing some love-brained and paranoid people, the Yue Lao system also respects everyone's choice.

In general, the Yue Lao system is still very user-friendly, and when the points accumulate to a certain level, you can choose your next life. In short, those who own the system are the chosen ones.

"System, why did the Yue Lao system choose to bind with me? My own feelings are still a mess!" Zhang Weifang asked puzzledly.

"Of course it's because you have a strong desire for marriage. Nowadays, people are always single. Being single is the best way to stay safe. Finding a man is worse than raising a dog. Many people are unwilling to get married and have children."

"Well, everyone has different choices. Isn't it good to be single?" Zhang Weifang didn't expect this to be the reason. She still longed for marriage very much.
