Chapter 1: Transmigrating to Ancient Times and Reconstituted Family
"Hurry up, get up! It's snowing heavily outside!"
A series of hurried footsteps sounded, and the thick quilt on the kang was lifted. Lin Yuesha felt a gust of cold wind sneak in from the window and into the quilt, making her shiver.
Then, a pair of icy hands touched her wrists. The temperature made her gasp in surprise. Lin Yuesha frowned, then sighed, and became much more awake. The only person who could wake someone up so simply and abruptly was her second cousin, Chen Xiaohua.
"You little rascal, you always sleep in!"
Chen Xiaohua was wearing a heavy cotton-padded coat, and around her neck was a scarf made of tattered cloth patches sewn together. She was wrapped up tightly. She breathed out a breath of hot air, rubbed her hands, and then brushed the falling snowflakes off her body.
"Second cousin, it's not dawn yet, let me sleep a little longer!"
Lin Yuesha tried to grab the blanket to cover her head and looked at the sky outside. It was probably only because of the snow that it looked bright. Based on her experience over the past few days, if the rooster at her uncle's house hadn't crowed, it wasn't dawn yet!
To be honest, it was a tragic story for her. She was a bright young woman in the 21st century, participating in an international culinary competition, when some bastard broke the rules and created a huge fireball just to attract attention.
As luck would have it, the fireball struck her, and as a result, she not only missed out on becoming the world's number one, but was also transported to ancient times, to a remote northern border town, a desolate place called Chenjia Village.
Anyway, it snowed every single day since she transmigrated. If it weren't for the magical heated kang bed at her uncle's house protecting her, she would have frozen to death long ago.
"If you want to sleep until dawn, your aunt might be buried in the snow!"
With one hand on her hip and the other pointing at her lazy little cousin who was still in bed, Chen Xiaohua said angrily, "It's been snowing every day for the past few days, and at night it starts snowing heavily. Everyone in the family gets up to shovel snow on the roof. If the heavy snow collapses the roof later, I'll see where you're going to find a heated kang bed!"
Chen Xiaohua gritted her teeth, feeling helpless about her little cousin's behavior of staying in bed.
Mention Chenjia Village Xiaoya, and almost everyone in the surrounding villages knows her. They automatically assume she is their cousin. She is very beautiful, but her laziness is even more prominent than her appearance.
"ah?"
Lin Yuesha rubbed her eyes groggily, then suddenly realized that she wasn't in her apartment in a high-rise building, but had transmigrated!
Based on the memories left by the body, this place is similar to the northernmost part of modern China. Every year from the tenth month of the lunar calendar, heavy snow falls. However, the transportation here is underdeveloped, and Chenjia Village is located in a mountain valley. It is no exaggeration to say that the mountains are blocked by heavy snow.
I recall a few years ago there was a snowstorm. A family in the village got into a fight over who should shovel the snow, and as a result, the heavy snow collapsed their roof. If it weren't for the fact that everyone in Chenjia Village was related, they would have been homeless and frozen to death outside.
"Second cousin, I need to go home to find my parents first!"
Lin Yuesha suddenly realized the situation.
Her family situation was rather complicated, similar to a blended family in ancient times, where her mother was her biological mother, but her father was her stepfather.
"Hey, I'll go with you, hurry up!"
Chen Xiaohua continued to urge her, and only nodded in satisfaction when she saw that her cousin Lin Xiaoya had sped up her work a little.
Her cousin is sweet-talking and charming, but she's lazy—a habit she developed from being spoiled by the whole family.
The Chen family felt sorry for the little girl who lost her father so soon after birth, but as her older cousin, they couldn't just ignore her. She was already a young woman, and if she got married and suffered mistreatment, who would she turn to for justice? What family's daughter-in-law doesn't do chores? Even her own family would be in the wrong!
It must be said that Chen Xiaohua was truly prescient; through the snow-clearing incident, she immediately thought about things several years and even further into the future.
"They're here!"
Lin Yuesha picked up her shoes and hurriedly ran outside.
"What's the rush? Cover your neck with a cloth, or you'll get drafty!"
Before Chen Xiaohua could even speak, she saw her cousin rush out of the room. She couldn't help but sigh, "She's a grown woman now, yet she's still so impulsive."
Chen Xiaohua had already forgotten about how she used violence to force her cousin to get out of bed.
