You don’t really have to suffer, just dig wild vegetables!
How could a time-traveling girl fall into such a state? It's such an embarrassment to other time-travelers.
"Oh!" Zhou Yian sighed heavily and turned over in bed, "What should I do?"
Zhou Yian has been in this era for several days and has been annoyed for several days. He feels that he is getting balder and balder.
Because of an accident, she was transported to the body of a little girl with the same name and surname as herself, and even the same appearance. She inherited everything from the little girl, including her troubles.
No one knew where the "original owner" had gone, but upon waking from a sleep, she had transformed into the new Zhou Yian. According to the original owner's memories, her biological mother had suffered a severe hemorrhage during her birth, leaving her in poor health. She lay bedridden for several years before passing away. Her stepmother immediately took her place, bringing with her a child around the original owner's age.
The original owner always hated this, hated his biological father, hated his stepmother, and hated the child. And the stepmother was not sincere.
It's actually difficult to be sincere to her. Her stepmother has a daughter of her own and gave birth to a son with Zhou's father. Since then, the original owner's family status has declined significantly.
But Zhou Yian is not worried about such things. Family relationships are just a small problem.
The secondary problem is that in this era, supplies were really scarce. Not only were the clothes we wore old and patched, but the food was even more ordinary. Sometimes steamed buns made with cornmeal were considered very good.
When she traveled through time two days ago, she was shocked to see her stepmother making cornmeal steamed buns with some oil-free vegetables on the stove. Later, she observed the meals of several neighbors next door and found that her family's food was already well prepared!
The main problem is that the original owner's father has overseas connections and some relatives have gone overseas!
It is now 1965.
Things are getting a bit chaotic now. In another year or two, there will be no escape.
Zhou Yian turned over in annoyance, and the bed frame creaked.
"Zhou Yian, what are you doing so late at night? I have to sleep even if you don't!" It was the original owner's sister, the stepmother's daughter, Liu Hong.
Quite irritable.
"Let's go to sleep." I'm bald and worried. Forget it, I'd better go to sleep first and think of a solution tomorrow.
Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better the next day.
—————
Another day of doing nothing. The original owner was a kid who had just graduated from high school. He had no job and no school. Unlike the other people in the family, Zhou's father and stepmother went to work, his stepsister also found a temporary job, and his younger brother was in school.
The original owner was doing housework at home, but Zhou Yian just waved his hand and told her not to do any work. He said he was going out to find a job, but in fact he was just wandering around in the park thinking of a solution.
I heard a few old men in the park hesitating.
"The factory has said that they're encouraging unemployed children of workers, peasants, and soldiers in the city to go to the countryside to build up the countryside. It's an honor to volunteer now."
"Yes, it's a pity that I have few children, and I can't bear to leave. Life in the countryside is so hard. You know the guy in our factory, he became an honorary member and was promoted to a higher level just because he arranged for his children to go to the countryside." The old man in the white shirt winked, a little envious and a little disdainful.
"I've heard that too. He was promoted from team leader to deputy director. The factory is really generous. Everyone will envy him when he goes out."
Zhou Yian, who was curled up on a bench in the park, suddenly had his eyes light up. Going to the countryside?
————————
During dinner, Zhou's father spoke up, "Today, the higher-ups said they would encourage educated youth to go to the countryside. Our leaders need to set an example. We have three children, which exceeds the limit, so one of us needs to go to the countryside."
Dad Zhou is considered a small leader in the factory and always regards himself as a leader at home.
Zhou Yian sighed in her heart. This was really disappointing. No wonder there was a stepmother and a stepfather. They wouldn't really want her to go to the countryside, would they?
Sure enough, Zhou's father must have heard about the other person's promotion, but it's not enough to be cruel just by hearing it. The main thing is that even if the child really goes to the countryside, it doesn't necessarily mean that he will get a promotion.
However, it seems that the educated youth sent to the countryside did not care about their background. If they go to the countryside now, they should be able to avoid the disaster of 1966. It seems that it is not impossible. They can still make some money at this time.
"Honghong, you're the oldest, so I'll have to trouble you to go to the countryside in a few days. Ask your mother to prepare the things and money."
"Bang!" The stepmother overturned the bowl in surprise, "Lao Zhou, that's not what you said yesterday."
"What else? Let An'an go to the countryside? She's only 16. What can she do there? As the older sister, shouldn't Honghong go too? Look at every family and they always send the older one to the countryside." Father Zhou slammed the table and winked at his stepmother, "How can you send the younger one to the countryside?"
"Honghong is only two years older than me. She already has a temporary job and can find a husband at the age of 18. Now she is working in the countryside. Do you want her to marry a country bumpkin?" The stepmother was not to be outdone and took it steadily.
"You are so cruel! I have worked like a slave for the Zhou family for so many years, and this is how you treat us, mother and daughter. I even gave birth to a son, Zhou Fa! You said you would treat us well, and this is how you treat us. I am really blind."
"Okay, okay, the kids are here, what are you talking about?"
Father Zhou began to talk while hugging his stepmother, "Aren't we discussing this?"
"Dad," Liu Hong raised her eyebrows, her fair face shining with confidence.
"I do want to go to the countryside, but at the last social gathering, the factory director's son Zhang Yu liked me very much and asked me to meet him tomorrow. Dad, if I go to the countryside, this marriage will be ruined."
Liu Hong is very beautiful, with a kind of beauty that suits this era. After all, her mother is also very beautiful, which is why her father is obsessed with her. So it is not surprising that the factory director's son falls in love with her.
