"How come Zhou Shixun, such a good man, chose a woman like Sheng Anning?"
"That's right. I heard that Sheng An Ning has a lover in the city, and she hasn't slept with Zhou Shixun yet."
"Is this true? Captain Zhou is so pitiful. He married a woman and didn't allow her to touch him. Look how precious she is."
"I think Captain Zhou is just too nice. Women like this deserve to be beaten. She will behave herself after a few beatings."
"Yes, yes, yes, the wife who got beaten should be beaten severely!"
Sheng An Ning stood expressionlessly behind the door, listening to the unscrupulous discussions of several women outside. Who could have thought that two hours ago, this body had been replaced?
She had just returned from an international medical academic exchange meeting. On the way to the airport, she encountered a car accident. When she woke up, her soul was transferred to the body of this young wife also named Sheng An Ning.
It took her two hours to barely accept the fact that she had traveled back to 1977, a time when there was nothing and she might even have to face the problem of not having enough to eat.
Then you have to accept the reality that you are still married.
The original owner was 20 years old, a city girl. Three months ago, she married Zhou Shixun, who was in charge of security work in a nuclear confidentiality unit. They lived in the mountains more than 200 kilometers away from the city, and the couple had a cold relationship.
Sheng An Ning recalled the original owner's memory and felt that the word indifference was not enough to describe the relationship between the couple. It could be said that they spent every day in close combat.
Zhou Shixun came from the countryside, and the original owner looked down on him. She always felt that this man was full of dirt and rubbish. Disdain was written on her face, and she was sarcastic every time she spoke.
Men are not allowed to go to bed with her, and they are not allowed to eat at the same table with her.
When she was in a bad mood, she would make a big noise, throw things and swear at people. Every time, Zhou Shixun would go out quietly and never had a direct argument with the original owner.
The original owner’s relationship with his neighbors is hard to describe!
Because the people living in the small family compound were all from the same unit as Zhou Shixun, and many of their wives were from rural areas. The original owner naturally looked down on these country bumpkins, and every time he saw them, he would be so angry that he would turn his nose up to them.
Sheng An Ning felt a little headache thinking about the original owner's usual arrogance and domineering behavior, but Zhou Shixun never lost his temper once. He could be considered a good man like a Ninja Turtle.
No wonder the women outside were talking about her so loudly.
There was another point that Sheng An Ning couldn't understand. Why didn't the original owner get a divorce after making such a fuss?
Sheng An Ning looked at the room with a headache. There were two rooms, one inside and one outside. The inner one belonged to the original owner. There was no other furniture except a double bed, a bedside table and a three-drawer table.
There is a single bed in the outer room against the gable wall, with a neatly folded army green quilt. It is where Zhou Shixun lives.
There is a cupboard and stove next to it, as well as a small dining table.
With the dirt floor swept to a shine, it looked very simple and shabby.
Sheng An Ning let out a long sigh. In this era where one needed a permit to go out, a ticket to eat, and sugar and oil were in limited supply, she didn't know how to survive.
The group of women outside the door started discussing what to eat for lunch again. Sheng An Ning felt her stomach rumbling, as if the original owner had lost her temper last night and went to bed without eating dinner, and did not get up in the morning.
Then when she woke up, she became Sheng An Ning.
Sheng An Ning rubbed her stomach, thinking that the reason she entered this body might be because the original owner did not eat on time every day, and was too angry, which caused myocardial ischemia and temporary shock. She took advantage of this opportunity to travel through time and space.
As an excellent surgeon, Sheng An Ning would never abuse his body. Since he might be living in this body temporarily, he would take good care of it, eat well, and then think carefully about how to live next.
Thinking of this, I shuddered. It was still very cold in the northwest at the end of March. The ice and snow outside had melted, and the house was as cold as an ice cellar without a fire.
Sheng Anning went over and touched the cold stove. Growing up in a wealthy family, he didn't know how to light it.
After thinking about it, I decided to ask someone else.
I turned around and opened the door. The slanting sunlight was a bit dazzling. I couldn't help but close my eyes. When I opened my eyes again, I saw several women who were sitting in the sun not far away got up one after another, and some hurried away holding their children.
The two who stayed behind also looked at her with vigilance.
Sheng An Ning had a headache. Although she couldn't name these people, the original owners had quarreled with them. The woman in the blue floral cotton jacket was a neighbor who lived next door. She choked the original owner because she fried dried chilies while cooking. The original owner then poured a basin of water on the woman's window and cursed at her.
The other one was a woman holding a child, with short hair and a round face who looked honest.
Because the child was sleepy and crying loudly at noon, disturbing the original owner's nap, the original owner became unreasonably and scolded the owner in the yard, saying that if he couldn't raise the child, he might as well throw him away, and that he would strangle him to death if the child cried again... and other nasty words.
Because they were afraid of Zhou Shixun's high position, these family members did not dare to scold the original owner, but they probably wanted to tear her apart in their hearts, otherwise they would not talk about her so angrily.
The original owner had committed too many sins, and Sheng An Ning didn't know how to start talking at this moment.
When the two women saw Sheng An Ning open the door and come out without yelling at them, they looked at each other, picked up their children and carried a stool, and hurried back to their homes.
He even slammed the door, as if Sheng Anning was some kind of monster.
Sheng An Ning stood in the yard, squinting at a row of houses. There were eight rooms in each row, and each house had two rooms. There was a small yard in front of the house. The neighbors had already cleared the snow and were preparing to grow vegetables when the weather got warmer. There were also chicken coops with chickens.
The courtyard of the original owner's house was in a mess, with a lot of branches and sticks piled up, and some coal blocks placed in the corner near the window.
Sheng An Ning took a deep breath. Since there was no one to turn to for help, she could only rely on herself.
Although I have never made a fire, I have watched many wilderness survival programs. All you have to do is light a wooden stick and put coal in. When the coals burn, the house will be warm.
I rolled up my sleeves to pick up the branches and sticks in the yard, brought them back to the house, found matches and started preparing to light a fire.
The branches and sticks were too wet, and Sheng Anning had no experience, so she couldn't even light the fire with the newspaper. Finally, she had an idea and poured the last bit of oil in the enamel jar onto the branches.
This time it did catch fire, but thick smoke instantly filled the entire room.
When had Sheng An Ning ever suffered such torture? She was choking and coughing, and she had to wipe her tears and throw coal into the stove.
"Boss, your house is on fire!"
On the way back, Zhou Shixun and his colleagues saw black smoke coming from the direction of their home from afar. They frowned and ran towards home with their lunch boxes.
Although Sheng An Ning didn't really want to live with him, it was his responsibility to take care of her because of the promise they made that year.
We can't let anything happen to her here.
He kicked the door open and thick smoke rushed in his face. Then he saw Sheng An Ning squatting on the ground, looking at him with red eyes like a cat.
