Chapter 5: It Will Arrive Though Late



It took me a long time to accept the reality. I didn't know what the original situation was, and I didn't dare to say much. I just listened quietly to the people around me chatting and observed the situation around me.

From their conversation, I learned that the girl next to him was called Liu Hua, and the boy sitting next to him was called Zhang Yuan. They were both from Hangzhou.

The three people opposite are all from Hai City. The one sitting by the window is Zhan Tianqi, who has a very handsome appearance. Next to him is Li Xiao, who wears glasses and looks very gentle. Further away is Yue Feng, a dark and strong boy. Now that they are all sitting, it is difficult to tell their height.

It was obvious that Zhan Tianqi came from a better-off family. He was wearing a white shirt and a watch. I guess he was the one who was asked the time just now.

They are all around seventeen or eighteen years old, and you can see that they are still quite young.

The original owner was carrying a small army green bag and felt like there was a burden under the seat, so she said it felt so awkward to sit there.

I secretly rummaged through the small bag and found a handkerchief, a hairband, a ceramic water cup, and a small gray cloth bag, which should be used to hold money. There were many people on the bus, so I didn't take them out to count. There was also a larger oil paper bag, which was probably for food, an aluminum lunch box, and the rest were some small miscellaneous items.

There was also a stack of papers with a red seal on them, which should be certification documents or something like that.

While everyone around her was getting up and stretching their bodies, Xu Manman asked Liu Hua to help watch the luggage. She went to the bathroom, closed the door, took care of her physiological needs first, washed her face, dried her hands, and then took out her identification documents to look at them carefully.

I know that the original owner was also called Xu Manman, 16 years old, just graduated from high school, from Hai City, and went to Shunli Commune in Deyang County, Taipei City to work in the countryside. The date written on the document was August 14, 1974. The college entrance examination was resumed in 1977, which means that if nothing unexpected happened, she would have to stay in the countryside for more than 3 years.

Back at her seat, Xu Manman couldn't calm down. Although she'd found time travel exciting in novels, she still couldn't accept it when it actually happened to her. She had no memory of her original self. If her original family members suddenly appeared, they would be exposed and she'd probably be sliced ​​up.

And now I have to go to the countryside. Although my hometown is in the countryside and I grew up in the village, the countryside in the 1920s is not comparable to today. As the first child in the family, I have been spoiled since I was a child. I have never been to the fields or done farm work. I am not even allowed to enter the kitchen at home. In the countryside today, it is very difficult to survive.

The place I went to in the countryside was in the Northeast, and winter was coming soon. It was freezing cold. Although I hated the long summers in the south in my previous life, I couldn't stand the winter in the north either. Moreover, it was the 1970s in the north, and there was no heating.

The more Xu Manman thought about it, the more desperate she felt. "Buddha! God of Wealth! Please save me, or at least give me a golden finger!"

——

"Ding! Xiaojin system is online and loading data..."

Suddenly a crisp voice came out, which scared Xu Manman. She looked around and found that no one around her seemed to notice anything unusual.

Could it be that my golden finger will arrive eventually?

"Loaded 100%, delivering data to the host."

I felt dizzy, and the past 16 years of my original life flashed through my mind. My original name was also Xu Manman, and I was 16 years old this year. Because I started school early, I have already graduated from high school.

His father, Xu Gang, was a technician at Hai City Textile Factory, and his mother, Chen Meiyu, was also a workshop worker at the textile factory. He had a younger brother, Xu Jianguo, who was 13 years old and had just graduated from elementary school.

Both of my parents are working, and my father is a skilled worker, so the houses we were allocated in the textile factory's staff quarters all have two bedrooms and a living room. In the past few years, my younger brother Xu Jianguo lived in the big room with my parents. Later, when the children grew up, Xu Gang separated a small room from the living room. Compared with other families, their living space is still quite spacious.

This trip to the countryside was not because of any preference for boys over girls, nor was there any dramatic issue.

Although Xu Manman is a daughter, as the first child, she is pampered by her family. Both the Xu family and the Chen family have only had such a daughter within three generations. In this special era, she was raised to be plump, fair and tender.
