Chapter 001 Hell Comes to Heaven
"I gave birth to her and raised her. Can't I make the decision for her?"
"I am her mother. I gave her this life. Not to mention just sending her to the countryside, even if I sell her off, she has to obediently obey my arrangements!"
"This is outrageous! How dare she talk back to me! I just don't believe I can't cure her!"
“…”
Outside, a shrill female voice was swearing non-stop.
Ye Qingyi paid no attention to the noise outside and just stared blankly at the girl in the mirror whose cheek was swollen.
His hair was dry and yellow, his face was pale, and he looked frail. It was obvious that he was malnourished.
But Ye Qing couldn't help but grin.
This smile pulled the wound on her face, causing her to grimace in pain and involuntarily gasp for air.
But this did not affect Ye Qing's good mood.
Because she traveled through time, from the end of the world to the early 1970s, and became a sixteen-year-old girl.
After experiencing the apocalypse for a decade, facing the chaotic era of global disaster and out-of-control order, every survivor is trembling with fear and treading on thin ice, not knowing when the sickle raised by the god of death will fall on him.
Ye Qing felt the same way. She felt like she couldn't hold on any longer.
But she never expected that when she was on the verge of collapse, God would suddenly show kindness and send her back a hundred years.
Looking at the gentle morning sun outside the window and the lush trees downstairs, she was so excited that her eyes turned red and she almost burst into tears on the spot.
Compared to the devastated wasteland of the apocalypse, this era was like heaven to her.
Even in this era, it is said that the situation is tense and supplies are scarce.
But no matter how tense or how scarce it is, can it be worse than the end of the world?
So even though the current situation of this body was a bit difficult, Ye Qing still couldn't control his ecstasy.
The real name of this body is also Ye Qing, and he was born in a working-class family in Shanghai.
Originally, he had an older brother and an older sister, and a pair of twin brothers and sisters.
As the eldest son, my elder brother Ye Zhigao’s status in the family is unquestionable.
My elder sister Ye Hong is sweet-mouthed, smart and capable. She can always make the elderly at home smile and of course she also gets a lot of attention.
Not to mention the twins, Ye Zhiyuan and Ye Xia are the youngest in the Ye family and the only twins in the entire tube-shaped building. They are beautiful, good at studying, and the whole family likes them.
The only difference was that the third child was a good-for-nothing who could do nothing except work. Naturally, he became a marginalized person who was bullied and ignored by the whole family.
Since the age of five or six, I was forced to take over household chores, including washing clothes, cooking, sweeping, and doing all kinds of work.
But even so, she still could not get the love and attention of Ye's parents.
Whenever there were any delicious snacks at home, it was never her turn to have them;
The other brothers and sisters would fight for the meat on the table, but as soon as she stretched out her chopsticks, she would be scolded;
The clothes and shoes she wore were all old ones worn out by the eldest and second oldest children, with layers of patches sewn on them.
If the other children had not gone to school, it would have been embarrassing to leave the third child alone. I'm afraid the Ye family's parents would not have planned to send her to school and would have just wanted to keep her at home to work.
This time it's even more outrageous.
The policy from above called on educated young people to go to the countryside and mountains, and in principle required each family to have at least one child.
It just so happened that the older brother and sister in the original story, one had graduated from high school for a year and had not found a job yet, and the other was about to graduate from high school. Both were eligible to go to the countryside to work in the fields.
Logically speaking, it doesn't matter which of the two goes to the countryside, but it won't be the turn of the third child who is still in junior high school.
But Ye's mother favored her eldest son. In order to prevent Ye Zhigao from going to the countryside, she gritted her teeth and gave up her job in the soap factory to her eldest son to take over.
The original body's elder sister Ye Hong was also a scheming person. As soon as she saw that the situation was not right, she immediately found a new employer for herself.
She talked about her partner with the son of the street office director and also made big promises to the Ye family, saying that as long as she got married, she would be able to convince her in-laws to help find a suitable job for her younger brother Ye Zhiyuan.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the possibility of this big pie succeeding is very low, but Ye's mother believes it firmly.
She has already given the job to her eldest son, but her youngest son is already thirteen years old. In another three or two years, if he fails to get into high school, he will have to go out to work as soon as he graduates.
But nowadays, jobs in the city are so scarce, and with her and Old Ye's abilities, it's not easy to find a job for their youngest son. They can't give up Ye's father's job, right?
She was just a sorter in the soap factory, a job that required no technical skills, and she estimated that she would not get a promotion or a salary increase until retirement, so the job was given to the eldest son.
But Father Ye is different. He is only in his early forties and can still work in the job for another ten years. Moreover, Father Ye is already the workshop team leader. If he is lucky, he may be able to move up to the next level.
Ye's mother was not stupid. If she let her younger son take over Ye's father's job, he would have to start again as a low-level worker in the workshop and could only get the lowest salary. No matter how she calculated the bill, it would not be as good as letting Ye's father continue to be the workshop team leader.
She was worried about her youngest son's lack of job security, and now her eldest daughter promised to help solve the problem, which was like giving her a reassurance.
Moreover, Ye's mother was thinking that if her eldest daughter could really marry the director of the street office, the entire Ye family would benefit from it.
Firstly, with a relative who is an official, the status of the Ye family in Yantang Old Street will certainly be greatly improved. Maybe Ye's father can ask this relative to help him get a promotion in the factory in the future.
Secondly, the economic conditions of the sub-district office director's family are definitely much better than those of the Ye family. When the eldest daughter gets married, he can secretly help subsidize his parents' family.
No matter how you look at it, for the Ye family, this is a good marriage that is hard to find even with a lantern.
Since the eldest daughter has such great value for utilization, Ye's mother would not be stupid enough to send her to the countryside.
So naturally, the originally unpopular third child became the unlucky one who went to the countryside in place of his brothers and sisters.
Even though the original body is only sixteen years old, it is not a problem at all in the eyes of Ye's mother.
In her opinion, among so many children in the family, the third child is the best at doing housework. This girl has always been honest and dull. With such a personality, she will not have much future if she stays in the city. Instead, it is most appropriate for her to go to the countryside to do farm work.
So Ye's mother didn't even ask her third daughter for her opinion and directly reported Ye Qing's name to the street office.
It was not until the Revolutionary Committee sent her the notice to go to the countryside early this morning that she realized her family had plotted against her.
The original person was angry and aggrieved, and started arguing with Ye's mother on the spot. As a result, not only did he not get any explanation or comfort from Ye's mother, he was slapped hard in the face by her.
Moreover, the whole family stood on Ye's mother's side, accusing the original body of being selfish and unfilial.
Ye's father even said directly that if the original body did not agree to go to the countryside to join the production team, she should get out of the Ye family and the Ye family would no longer acknowledge her as their daughter.
The original person was so angry that he vomited blood when he returned to the room, and died of sudden heart palpitations on the spot.
Then Ye Qing came through.
Feeling that this body's heartbeat was still abnormal, Ye Qing subconsciously reached out and pressed on its chest.
The next second, a light green light surged out from the palm of her hand and penetrated into her chest.
His heart was wrapped in the warm current, and after a while, Ye Qing's heartbeat frequency gradually stabilized, and even his breathing became much smoother. He felt much more relaxed and comfortable.
Ye Qing couldn't help but let out a long sigh, feeling extremely grateful.
Fortunately, her wood-related ability also traveled over with her.
This body actually had congenital heart disease, but it was not particularly serious when she was born, so the Ye family did not notice anything abnormal about her body.
But the original body had suffered a lot in the past decade or so. On the one hand, she was overworked with housework, and on the other hand, she was severely malnourished. So after so many years, her heart was already in a state of overload.
This time, because of the plot against his family, the original body was greatly traumatized, and he was terrified about going to the countryside to join the production team. As a result, he suffered a heart attack and died.
Ye Qing awakened her wood-type ability in the third year after the apocalypse. However, because the wood type belongs to the healing type, its combat effectiveness is not that good. So she had no idea how many times she stumbled and hit many walls before she managed to upgrade her ability to level two in the tenth year after the apocalypse.
Now that she had traveled to this special era, her wood-related abilities had returned to the time before liberation overnight and had returned to their original state.
Fortunately, although it was only the initial stage, she was still able to temporarily stabilize the condition of this body.
But if she wants to cure the congenital heart disease in this body, with her current abilities, she will have to slowly treat and recuperate for at least one or two years.
Ye Qing was calculating silently in his heart.
It seems that she needs to improve the level of her wood ability as soon as possible.
Otherwise, once she goes to the countryside, she will have to work in the fields every day. With her current physical condition, she may not be able to withstand such high-intensity labor.
Ye Qing spent seven or eight years exploring ways to upgrade his wood-related abilities, and only figured out the two simplest and most basic methods.
One is absorption and the other is catalysis.
Absorption, as the name suggests, is of course the absorption of wood energy. As long as it is a plant, there is vitality inside, which is her energy source;
As for catalysis, it is to catalyze the seeds of plants so that they germinate and grow quickly.
When the body's supernatural powers are quickly consumed and reach a critical point, it is possible to break through the bottleneck and complete the upgrade.
These two methods sound simple, but they are luxuries in the last days.
Due to global disasters, after the alternation of severe weather conditions such as acid rain, ice disasters, extreme cold, extreme day, high temperature, earthquakes, and polar nights, plants on Earth are almost extinct. Only a small amount of plants and seeds remain in the artificial sheds of a few survivor bases.
These remaining plants and seeds are the hope for human survival and are extremely precious. Naturally, they cannot be touched by a low-level psychic like Ye Qing.
So later on, in order to improve his superpowers, Ye Qing had no choice but to join the superpowers' material collection team and try to go out and look for opportunities.
However, due to her limited fighting ability, she almost always survived and paid a huge price, and the number of times she actually found plants or seeds was very few.
It can be said that every day of her survival during those ten years at the end of the world was extremely difficult.
But now that I have come to this parallel universe, things are different.
Ye Qing felt like she had fallen into a granary like a mouse, and she was about to drift away.
The things that she had once tried her best to obtain but could not find, are now everywhere in this time and space!
She glanced casually out the window, and all she saw was lush green.
For Ye Qing, this was like going from hell to heaven!
As for the "rotten stall" left for her by the original body, and the fact that her family was planning to send her to the countryside to work as a sent-down youth, Ye Qing not only did not reject it, she could even say that she was more than happy to do so.
During the ten years before the end of the world, she had dreamed of having a piece of unpolluted pure land where she could grow crops and flowers. Now that God had really given her this opportunity, she felt like she would wake up with a smile in her sleep at night.
