Chapter 8: The 1970s: Brother and Sister Are Stepping Stones 1



Time and Space Stone: "Burp, I'm so full."

Changsheng: "Little Stone, what did you swallow in the space-time rift? Be careful of indigestion if you eat anything from outside."

Time and Space Stone: "Good stuff, look."

Changsheng: ...

I never expected that there are so many wonders in this world!

What did she see? The classic cheat code in time-travel novels—the system!

Swallowed by the Time and Space Stone!

Changsheng: "This thing seems to be quite useful. Why don't you try to spit it out so I can take a look?"

I didn’t expect that I could catch up with the trend. I feel a little excited or something.

Time and Space Stone: "...It's too late. Only the basic functions are left. Do you still want it?"

Changsheng: "Why not? At least we don't have to search every world for corpses. We can have a willing body to use."

Time and Space Stone: I hope you don’t regret it!

The two non-humans checked the system they picked up along the way and found that only the basic functions of 1.0 were left.

You can only select the body and transmit the plot.

There are no other rewards or anything like that.

It's impossible to even assign tasks. It's really a rotten system with no recycling value.

As for the possibility that the soul may be strangled due to failure to complete a task, regardless of whether this function still exists in this system, just talking about divine objects of the level of Changsheng and the Time and Space Stone, the word "strangulation" cannot be achieved on them.

So the two non-human journeys turned into three non-human journeys!

"Changsheng, come with me now to find the village chief and the team leader. Go and clarify to them that you and Wang Guohua are not in a relationship at all. When others saw you two together before, it was just normal communication. You went to seek advice from Wang Zhiqing, who came from the city, and you helped Wang Zhiqing with farm work as a way to repay his guidance and help."

As soon as Changsheng arrived in this world, he was greeted by such a long paragraph.

Before Changsheng could reply, the man grabbed Changsheng's sleeve and dragged him away.

Changsheng looked around at the surrounding environment and had a general understanding of the era he was living in. The era was almost certain.

"I'm going to the bathroom first." Go to the place where the stinkiest is, you can't go wrong.

People have three urgent needs, and only by going to the toilet can you temporarily stop the stubborn urge to act.

Changsheng: "Transmit the plot, my dears."

After a series of fierce operations like a tiger, Changsheng mastered most of the plot and rushed out of the place where grains were recycled at the speed of light.

"Aren't you going to find the village chief? Hurry up and follow me." Changsheng passed by the man like a gust of wind, leaving behind a strong smell of feces.

The man was none other than one of Changsheng's targets, Zhang Haoze, Changsheng's biological brother.

As luck would have it, the two siblings played the main cannon fodder roles in period novels, and they were high-quality stepping stones.

In this world, the male protagonist is Wang Guohua and the female protagonist is Tian Xiaoxiao, both of whom are educated youth who went to the countryside.

Wang Guohua is the youngest in the family and lives in Haicheng. His family is not as well off as the rich but better off than the poor. The main reason is that he has too many older brothers, so his situation is just like that when it comes to his turn.

Tian Xiaoxiao was also an educated youth from Haicheng, and her family was far worse off than Wang Guohua's. Not only did her family favor boys over girls, but since her daughter had gone to the countryside, the family couldn't help at all. She wrote to him daily to complain, hoping that his daughter would save more on food and bring back some local produce for her family to eat or to give as gifts during festivals.

Zhang Changsheng and Zhang Haoze, a brother and sister, are native country people. Their village is May Day Village, Hongxing Town, Jiang County, Haicheng.

Half of the families in May Day Village have the surname Zhang, and the others who do not have the surname Zhang are basically related to those with the surname Zhang.

Zhang Changsheng went to high school for one year. Thanks to his surname, Zhang, he became a teacher in the village primary school after graduation. He had a decent job and only taught half a day a day. The rest of the time, he would work in the fields to earn more work points. He lived a more comfortable life than most people, and people who proposed marriage to him even came from other villages.

But she felt that she was a teacher and that ordinary peasants were not worthy of her. Moreover, her grandfather was the village chief of May Day Village before he was paralyzed. Although the current village chief was from the third branch of the Zhang family, he still gave face to their first branch.

After all, her grandfather promoted people from other families instead of his own sons and grandsons.

What's the matter? In this village, the village chief and other people still respect their family very much. Her grandfather is not dead yet. She has to wait and see. After all, they are still relatives.

The old man felt that he didn't know how long he would live, so he looked forward to seeing the older boys and girls in the family get married and have a great-grandson.

As a result, Zhang Haoze and Zhang Changsheng, who were both unmarried at an advanced age, were the first to be urged to get married.

Changsheng chose to marry the male educated youth who came from the city.

Picking out the tallest one among the short ones, what's the matter? Can't you find one who stands out among a dozen guys?

So, Zhang Changsheng took a fancy to the newcomer Wang Guohua.

Because Grandpa Zhang used to be the village chief, he made all possible arrangements for the children in the family.

Zhang Haoze is the eldest grandson of the Zhang family's eldest branch. Grandpa Zhang relied on him to establish the family line, so he sent him to the army early on. Believe it or not, he has become a decent person.

This time I came back because I was old enough and if I didn’t get married, I would delay my younger brothers and sisters.

My family kept sending telegrams, urging me to come back for a blind date, and to file a report for marriage as soon as I could if I found someone.

As luck would have it, there was no car in town when he returned, so he walked back to the village in the dark and happened to meet Tian Xiaoxiao. He met a village scoundrel outside late at night, and the hero saved the damsel in distress.

Zhang Haoze took a fancy to the educated youth Tian Xiaoxiao.

Zhang's father didn't say anything and Zhang's mother disagreed.

Who is Tian Xiaoxiao? She was an educated youth who came here two years ago. Everyone knows her.

He looks like he's from the city, but his food and drink are not even as good as those peasants, and he's still wearing the same clothes he wore two years ago.

I've never seen you buy yourself a new thing. If your hard-working and thrifty life leads to hardship, we are all from the countryside, so who can say anything?

But Tian Xiaoxiao is different. She sends all the money she saves back to the city. If you talk about filial piety, it is not a shortcoming but a great advantage.

But if a family marries a daughter-in-law like this, who can bear it if she has to subsidize her parents' home every day for years?

What's more, there are people in the educated youth camp who come from the same place as Tian Xiaoxiao, so everyone knows each other's background.

It is true that Tian Xiaoxiao's family is poor, but the fact that they are so poor that they have to rely on the daughter of educated youth who have gone to the countryside for support simply shows that the parents do not treat their own daughter as a human being.

You know, Tian Xiaoxiao seems to be very hardworking and always eager to do anything, but the problem is that she has a skinny body and can't do any physical work.

The village assigned me to do heavy work in the fields for half a day and light work like collecting grass for pigs for half a day. The work points were not high, but I could find some wild vegetables while collecting grass for pigs, so I could make a living.
