Zhuang Zhimeng is almost fully recovered. Her parents will be home from get off work soon, so she should cook them a meal.
The original owner of this body could cook, but only to the point of being cooked through; it wasn't particularly delicious.
However, Zhuang Zhimeng, a 21st-century woman, is a very good cook. Although she has a nanny at home, she enjoys cooking herself and occasionally cooks a meal for her family when she feels like it. That's how she developed her culinary skills.
Zhuang Zhimeng came to the kitchen and saw eggs, some cured meat that her uncle had sent back, some green vegetables that her mother had rushed to the supply and marketing cooperative early that morning, and a few tomatoes in the corner. It was truly a case of a clever housewife having no rice to cook.
I'll keep it simple today: stir-fried vegetables with cured pork, tomato and egg soup, and steamed rice. Luckily, there are only four people eating at home today, so this should be enough.
I had just finished cooking when my parents arrived home.
"I knew I could smell the fragrance from afar, and I wondered whose house it was. I never expected it to be our house! Daughter, you're just feeling a little better, why don't you lie down a little longer?" Zhuang Xingzhou said with a look of emotion.
"I'm much better now, so I was thinking of cooking a few more meals for you all. After all, I'm going to the countryside soon, and I don't know when I'll have the chance again..."
Before Zhuang Zhimeng could finish speaking, Hao Caiyun interrupted, "Let's not talk about this anymore, wash your hands and eat!"
"My daughter's cooking is really good, this dish is delicious!"
"Yes, it's really good!"
"Wow! Sis, this is so delicious! I want to eat so much!"
"Eat more if you like it," she said, placing another piece of food on Zhuang Zhijun's plate.
After finishing their meal, Zhuang Zhijun was sent back to his room, and Zhuang Xingzhou and Hao Caiyun went to Zhuang Zhimeng's room.
"Yaya, is that you back?" Hao Caiyun asked.
Zhuang Zhimeng's bewildered eyes met Hao Caiyun's concerned gaze, and in that instant, a memory surged back—it turned out that she was Zhuang Zhimeng from the 1970s! It was simply unbelievable!
"Mom, how come..." she wondered, puzzled as to how such a bizarre thing could have happened.
“When you were 3 years old, you suddenly developed a high fever and wouldn’t wake up. The doctors at our hospital examined you and said there was nothing wrong.”
But remaining unconscious like this won't do either.
Then we found a fortune teller, and he was very accurate.
But he only tells fortunes to those he has a connection with, which is lucky, because he saw that you are a person he has a connection with.
He said your soul has been swapped and you won't have a chance to have it swapped back until you turn 18.
"They also said that after you were switched back, your life would be smooth sailing and your blessings would extend to future generations," Hao Caiyun explained.
"Mom, I do have a memory, from when I was about 3 years old, of someone I swapped places with from the 21st century. I didn't suffer there, and my family treated me very well!"
Hao Caiyun couldn't help but hug Zhuang Zhimeng tightly, tears streaming down her face. "Yaya, you're finally back, my poor daughter!"
The mother and daughter embraced and wept bitterly. Zhuang Xingzhou rushed forward and hugged his wife and daughter. The three of them held each other for a long time.
After a while, once they had calmed down, they let go.
Hao Caiyun continued, "You'll be going to the countryside in seven days. Tomorrow, I'll visit your grandparents at the military compound. They were very unhappy when they heard you were going to the countryside."
Go and try to appease them. Your grandfather loves you the most, and he listens to you the most. Talk to him nicely.
"good!"
"I'll pack your things. It's very cold in Northeast China. I'll exchange some cotton these next few days to make you a cotton-padded coat and a quilt. I'll send them to you later. Pack something light, as a young girl like you can't carry heavy things."
"You'd better be careful when you go to the countryside. Don't rush into finding a partner. You're so pretty, you need to protect yourself in the village. Not everyone there is kind and honest; some villagers are as cunning as a sieve. You don't want them to sell you out and you'll still be counting the money for them."
"Mom, am I that stupid?"
"It's best if there isn't one!"
And that friend of yours, don't associate with her anymore. If it weren't for her, you wouldn't have had to go to the countryside this time…”
Listening to my mother's nagging and admonishing words, I felt a warmth in my heart. "Mom, I'm never going to have anything to do with her again! She cheated me out of so many things; it was like feeding a dog to a fool!"
"Call home if anything happens. We won't bully others, and we won't let others bully us either. If someone bullies you, tell me, and I'll go to Northeast China right away to deal with them. If I can't handle it, your second brother is here. No one can bully our precious child!"
Zhuang Xingzhou is a complete doting father to his daughter, always afraid that his precious daughter will be bullied by others.
"Don't worry, Dad, I'll keep in touch with the family often."
“Your family will keep an eye out for opportunities to return to the city. There are quite a few people watching our family, so you can stay in the countryside for a few years and we’ll come back when the opportunity arises.”
"knew!"
Listening to my parents' words of advice made me feel truly happy. I'm so glad to be their daughter, and I secretly vowed to take good care of them in the future.
