Chapter 2: The Country Girl Comes to the Cityshuhaige.net



Life in the countryside wasn't easy either. Fortunately, Guan Wanwan was incredibly beautiful, and many people courted her, so the mother and daughter didn't starve to death. However, one of them was called a vixen, and the other a little vixen, giving them a bad reputation, and naturally, life wasn't easy.

The original owner developed a fragile, sensitive, self-deprecating, and love-deprived personality. She also had a bad relationship with her mother and hated her for causing her all the pain.

If the original owner had been an ordinary girl, it would have been fine, but she inherited her mother's beauty, even surpassing hers. Excessive beauty coupled with an inferiority complex and fragile personality is actually a bad thing, a sin.

When the original owner was 19 years old, the two finally returned to the city, and Guan Wanwan also returned to her former unit with the help of her connections.

——City Song and Dance Troupe.

The original owner, a burden, relied on his mother's connections to get into the song and dance troupe as a temporary worker. All his misfortunes started in the song and dance troupe.

Being bullied, being plotted against, being tortured... the original owner endured all of this silently.

Until she met Mei Qiusheng from the drama troupe, she thought he was the salvation of her life, a ray of light in her life. When she happily married Mei Qiusheng, she finally found out that it was not salvation, but a devil.

The suffering was far beyond her imagination, and she passed away in just five years.

Guan Jibai is now on the train back to the city and will soon join the city song and dance troupe that the original owner hated all his life.

"Xiaobai, we've arrived at our stop, get off." Guan Wanwan stood up opposite, and her graceful figure immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Thirty-seven-year-old Guan Wanwan lived like an outlier in this backward yet simple era. She wore a ruffled pink shirt, a brown pleated skirt, and a plaid jacket—the kind of fashionable outfit only city dwellers would wear in those days.

She is out of tune with most of the rural women around her.

Her black, beautiful hair showed that she had never done any hard labor as an educated youth. She only did the easiest jobs, relying on others to take care of her, and worked comfortably as a broadcaster at the town radio station.

It was sheltered from the wind and rain, decent and relaxing. It would have been even better if it weren't for the fierce rural women who came to my house every few days, pulling my hair, insulting me, and scratching my face.

The original owner hated everything about Guan Wanwan, but Guan Jibai admired her instead.

A woman who is not smart and does not know how to use her advantages would have starved to death long ago, let alone raising her daughter and even sending her to school.

The original owner graduated from high school. Although he did not get into college, he was considered educated in that era.

Guan Jibai really wanted to say to Guan Wanwan, "Let's be scumbag girls together." However, she had only been reborn for a week, so she had to be careful to maintain her original character.

"Xiaobai, stop being in a daze and get off the bus with your things."

Guan Wanwan urged, she could not communicate with her daughter at all, nor could she get her forgiveness.

Guan Jibai maintained his original character, lowered his head and squeezed down from the crowded car with Guan Wanwan.

After exiting the train station, there were people everywhere. Some were holding signs to welcome their relatives, while others were staying at various guesthouses to welcome people who were on business trips to Beijing.

In September, the weather was already chilly in the mornings and evenings. Most people wore light navy blue jackets, loose pants, and yellow sneakers. There was an intellectual wearing a black Mao suit, black leather shoes, a pen in his breast pocket, and glasses.

They held their heads high and looked very energetic.

Some young people in white shirts, with middle-parted hair, were pushing bicycles with large handlebars. There were also beautiful women in fashionable skirts and men in suits and ties. It was truly worthy of being the capital, completely different from the remote and backward rural areas.

Here, Guan Jibai can already see the prototype of an international metropolis.

She looked at everything in amazement, like a little country girl who had come to the city for the first time and had never seen the world.

After all, I had spent the previous week either in remote rural areas or on the train.

This was the first time I saw Beijing in the 1980s. It looked like an old photo that had been recolored, changing from the weathered black and white to a vibrant array of colors.

Guan Jibai was looking around, and the people around were also looking at them.

As soon as the mother and daughter appeared, they attracted the attention of the people around them. They said that they actually didn't look like mother and daughter, but from the outside, they looked more like sisters.
