When Song Jin arrived at the gathering point, there weren't many people there. At least the educated youth members had probably not arrived yet, because there were no familiar faces.
Many villagers took the initiative to greet her.
"This is educated youth Song, right? He's here really early. It would be great if all the educated youth in our brigade were as diligent as him."
Song Jin looked at the woman who was speaking in front of him. Although her words showed dissatisfaction with other educated youth, there was no malice in her. She must be a person who was straightforward and outspoken.
Judging from the clothes he's wearing, they don't have many patches on them, so his family must be well off.
Sure enough, after a while, I heard the other party’s self-introduction.
"My husband is the secretary of our brigade. You should have seen him when you went to collect food. My maiden name is Hua, so I'll just honor you. You can just call me Aunt Hua from now on. Coming to our brigade is like being at home. If there's anything I can help you with, just let me know."
The more Song Jin listened, the more he felt that this aunt was just like the captain's wife, both of whom were decisive and could get along well.
"Okay, Aunt Hua, I won't be polite then. Don't call me Song Zhiqing anymore, just call me Song Jin."
"No problem, Xiao Song."
Song Brocade...
After a while, more and more people came. The educated youth also started running. Song Jin had originally planned to stand with the educated youth after arriving, and he expected to be assigned the same tasks as them.
Unexpectedly, she arrived too early. The educated youth were gathered in the back, while she had already gone deep into the villagers.
By this time, the village chief's wife and the party secretary's wife had already recommended her to their circle of friends, and everyone was surrounding her.
After the team leaders reported that everyone had arrived, the team leader stood on the stage and began to assign today's tasks. The villagers finished their assignments one after another. The old educated youth went to the soybean fields to harvest soybeans, the new educated youth men went to fetch water to irrigate the fields, and the women followed two village aunts arranged by the team leader to weed on the hillside.
Song Jin followed one of Aunt Hua's friends, the aunt of a carpenter in the village. Her surname was also Chen, but she was older, so Song Jin called her Aunt Chen.
On the way to Banpo, Song Jin thought more and more that something was wrong. When the team leader was assigning tasks just now, he called out names, and there were a few names that Song Jin felt were very familiar.
Chen Xinlian, Zhou Suisui, Wu Di, Zheng Jiangbei.
These names, combined with Wang Xiaohui, Ding Xiaomai, Zhao Yu...
Oh shit, it turns out this isn't just a simple time travel, this is traveling through a book?
Think about it, what is the plot of this?
After racking his brains all the way, Song Jin finally remembered it when he was almost at the field.
This was a romance novel she read when she was in high school. She couldn't remember the name, but it was probably something like "The Pampered Little Wife".
I vaguely remember the story as follows: the heroine, Chen Xinlian, was the youngest daughter of a widow in the village. She had no father since childhood, and because she was a girl, she wasn't valued by her grandparents. Her mother died of illness when she was 12. She was raised by her grandparents, but after she turned 15, they also passed away. As a result, the village spread the word that she was a "star of misfortune." Although pitiful, no one approached her.
The turning point happened after the educated youth went to the countryside. The male protagonist Wu Di, an educated youth who came from Hai City in 1971, went from feeling sorry for the girl and that the villagers were feudal and ignorant at the beginning to thinking that such a strong girl was worthy of me. It took him two years.
During this period, the two of them were in a state of escaping and being chased by the supporting female character Zhou Suisui and the supporting male character Zheng Jiangbei.
Of course, things don’t fly very far in the village. There are all kinds of breakups and reconciliations going on.
In 1973, the two finally confirmed their relationship in front of the villagers, got married quickly, and gave birth to twins six months later.
The amazing thing is that the supporting actress and the supporting actor also got together and got married on the same day, but they didn’t get pregnant or have a baby.
Then it was the college entrance exam. The male protagonist, the male supporting role, and the female supporting role all passed, but the female protagonist, who only had an elementary school education, of course failed.
Then there are so many people chasing the male protagonist in college, the female protagonist is jealous, the female protagonist is unhappy and drinks, then the male supporting role comforts her in bed, and then the female protagonist gives birth to twins.
Under various mysterious operations, the twins were given to the male supporting role to raise.
In the end, the male protagonist became the boss of a clothing factory, and the female protagonist became a glamorous boss lady. The female supporting role fell ill and died, so the male supporting role asked the female protagonist to take care of the children.
Gradually, the male supporting role also moved into the male protagonist's big villa, and the three of them and their four children lived happily together.
This is roughly the content, and Song Jin’s recollection ends here.
Huh... Why did I read this book in the first place? Is there anyone with the same name as her? It seems not, I have no impression of her at all.
Yes, why is her name not in the book, nor is Chen Liang? Even the team leader’s wife and the branch secretary’s wife have appeared.
No, there seems to have been a line in the introduction: the ice fishing at the end of 1974 brought the brigade unforgettable pain for many years to come. The brigade leader also aged more than a decade, but for Chen Xinlian and Wu Di, it brought opportunities.
Apparently, something went wrong during the ice fishing. Someone in the village might have passed away, including the captain, who is said to be over ten years old. Perhaps Chen Liang...
But why is it an opportunity for them?
