Chapter Three: Rebirth in Red Flag Village



Song Lili's heart was in turmoil, and she couldn't help but wail and complain. She wanted to cry but couldn't.

Is God playing a cruel joke on her? Why did He have to send her here? You have to understand, in the 1960s, people could easily starve to death.

That's not the scariest part. The scariest part is what happened in the years that followed, and the crazy people. That's what really took lives.

Although Song Lili knew how things were going to go, and even once read a lot of materials about this era in order to find fault with an online writer.

But what's the use of all this? None of it is useful. You know there's a difference between theory and practice.

Song Lili just wanted to lie there and pretend to be dead, praying that it was all a dream and that everything would be alright when she woke up. After waking up, she returned to that unwelcoming but also cherished hometown.

Someone as naturally carefree as her is really not suited to live in such a serious era; it would drive her crazy.

Song Lili pulled up the cold, strangely smelling blanket to cover her entire face, and silently prayed.

Hopefully, when she opens her eyes tomorrow, everything will be back to normal, and she'll still be in that world where she can do whatever she wants and get away with anything as long as she doesn't break the law.

A moment later, a soft snore came from under the covers, as if telling people how soundly the owner under the covers was sleeping.

Meanwhile, a voice could be heard coming from next door: "Jianshe, who pushed Lili down today? Did Fangfang tell you?"

"Grandpa, Fangfang said it was Xu Youcai who bumped into Lili, causing her to hit her head."

"Okay, I understand. Don't show any negative emotions towards Xu Youcai. I will handle this matter."

......

In the completely dark room, Song Lili slept very restlessly.

She seemed to have returned to her hometown, back to the day before she arrived here.

She saw the radiant smile on her grandmother's wrinkled face, and the timid yet caring look in her father's eyes.

And then there was her mother, who left the deepest shadow in her heart, with eyes that looked at her like she was something dirty.

However, she was immune to such gazes and no longer cared; such gazes could no longer hurt her.

But she forgot that what can't hurt her is the person she cares about most, leaving them completely devastated.

The filthy, indirect insults finally made her unable to hold back, and she blurted them out.

Even in her dreams, she imagined herself becoming a superhero and giving a good beating to everyone who had hurt her.

Then, when she opened her eyes, she found herself in this unfamiliar and terrifying era.

...

Bored, Song Lili rested her chin on her hand, watching the chubby pig wagging its tail not far away, and sighed deeply once again.

Sigh... How did she end up here? Why isn't this a dream? It's been three days, and she's still here.

Although she was reluctant to admit it, she had to realize that she had really arrived in the 1960s, a time of scarcity and poverty, and that she was still in her hometown.

My hometown is a remote and impoverished mountain village in Northwest China. It used to be a notoriously poor county internationally.

If we go back a few decades, the poverty would be unimaginable.

How are we going to live from now on?

After struggling with her feelings, Song Lili finally felt relieved.

Song Lili was an absolutely calm and intelligent girl, so she naturally knew the current situation.

She knew clearly that she was here now, and could never go back to her own time; she quickly accepted this fact.

As the saying goes, life is like rape; since you can't resist, you might as well accept it.

She, on the other hand, should accept it calmly and make the best of it.

Having made up her mind, Song Lili began to actively seek information and familiarize herself with everything around her.

Gradually, Song Lili also learned that she belonged to the Fifth Brigade, which was located at the end of the village. Her home in her previous life was in the First Brigade.

Thinking of this, a glint of light flashed in Song Lili's eyes, and she couldn't help but feel excited.

Since this is her hometown, then... is Grandma here now? She remembered that Grandma had said that her home was in the Fifth Brigade.

Will she meet her grandmother from her teenage years? Will they become good friends? Song Lili couldn't help but start thinking about the possibilities.

In the end, the results told her that it was very likely, even 100% likely.

Thinking of her grandmother, Song Lili then thought of her grandfather, and her heart leaped with joy.

Having met her grandparents, should she help her grandfather become wealthy? After all, she knows the pulse of the future.

If she could fundamentally make her family wealthy, wouldn't she be able to become a third-generation rich kid? Just thinking about it makes me so excited!
