Chapter 1: Transformed into a Shanghai Lady
"Tangtang, when you get to the Northwest, you must be obedient and don't act like a spoiled brat. Lu Xiao is a good man, and your father and I are relieved."
"Remember to send a telegram back to your parents and write letters often."
As soon as Su Tang opened his eyes, he felt someone holding him in his arms.
She hadn't felt a warm embrace in many years.
What happened? Hadn't she been working non-stop for eight hours and ended up exhausted in the hospital lounge?
Before Su Tang could say anything, another broad hand fell on her head.
"When the situation gets better, we will take you back, Tangtang. You are your parents' treasure forever."
As the man finished speaking, the train whistle sounded, and the two men let go of Su Tang. Only then did she see their appearance clearly.
The well-maintained middle-aged woman was wearing a skirt and had good manners.
The man was wearing a Zhongshan suit and glasses.
The two men's hair had already turned gray, and their faces were somewhat sad.
The man bent down and stuffed the suitcase into Su Tang's hands, and said something as he approached her.
Then they put her on the train.
Su Tang was still a little confused until she sat down, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses.
She seemed to know where this was.
Isn’t this familiar conversation the same as the period novel “Hot Wife of the 1970s” that she just finished reading a few days ago?
What attracted her was that the supporting actress in the film had the same name as her, but she ended up in a miserable state.
He had a good family background, high education and good looks, but he turned a good hand into a bad one and ended up dying tragically in a dilapidated house.
The original owner Su Tang's parents were both university teachers, true intellectuals.
When Su Tang grew up, they arranged for him to study in the UK.
Originally, her family planned to arrange a job for her after she returned from studying abroad, but unexpectedly, she missed the good opportunity.
On the beginning of autumn in 1969, Su Tang's parents were suddenly suspended from school for investigation, and many people came to their home.
As the things in the house gradually decreased, Su Tang seemed to understand why.
Perhaps they sensed the inevitable crisis in the future, so they wanted to send Su Tang to the northwest to join the army.
A year ago, Su Tang's father arranged this marriage for her.
I have to say, if it weren't for this precautionary measure, Su Tang would probably have been implicated.
After recalling the contents of the book, Su Tang sighed.
This book tells the story of how the heroine Su Xinyao relied on her own intelligence and talents in turbulent times.
A story about making a name for oneself in the tide of the times and finally achieving success in both career and love.
The original owner was naturally the control group of her cousin Su Xinyao.
Because he was spoiled since childhood, the original owner did not control his temper even after going to the northwest.
He acted like a spoiled child and ended up getting into trouble with Su Xinyao, which led to his own death.
Su Tang clenched the suitcase in his hand and turned to look at the scenery outside.
There is nothing in this box except money.
That was all the Su family's property, and it was also the foundation left to her by the original owner's parents for her to make a living.
It’s a pity that the original owner would never understand how much effort her parents put into keeping her alive and safe.
The original owner felt that she had such a family background, but she married a country bumpkin who had nothing, and she was unwilling to accept it.
So she looked down on her husband, whom she had never met.
Of course, people look down on her.
After briefly sorting out the plot, Su Tang leaned back in his chair.
According to the timeline, the turmoil should have just begun, so she was able to escape from Shanghai to the northwest.
The marriage partner arranged by the original owner's parents was called Lu Xiao, who was stationed in the northwest.
Lu Xiao's parents had received favors from the original owner's father, so when the original owner's father approached Lu Xiao's parents, Lu Xiao's parents agreed without hesitation.
The two of them had an arranged marriage, and they had never even met each other.
But since Lu Xiao agreed and the Lu family also agreed, it means that the Lu family should not be a bad person.
Su Tang didn't know why she came into this book, but now she couldn't find a way to go back.
It's chaotic outside, so the safest place is to stay in the northwest, by Lu Xiao's side.
Once she was settled, she would think of a way to go back.
As I watched the scenery recede, the day gradually turned into night.
Su Tang was very sleepy, but she didn't dare to sleep. After all, she was carrying a box of money, so how could she sleep?
"Catch the thief!"
At this moment, a shrill voice rang out and Su Tang woke up suddenly.
My hands were sweating from holding the suitcase handles.
The next second, a knife appeared in front of her, pointing straight at her eyeballs.
But the person in the chair behind reacted faster and grabbed the thief's wrist.
With a snap, the man broke the thief's wrist and the knife fell to the ground. The flight attendant quickly arrived and subdued the thief.
"Thank you, comrade."
Listening to the conductor's words, the man said, "You're welcome."
The voice was low and a little hoarse, but it sounded particularly nice. However, the lowered brim of his hat prevented Su Tang from seeing his face clearly.
When she got on the bus, she didn't seem to see this person. Did he get on the bus later?
By the time Su Tang reacted and wanted to thank him, he had already walked away.
I got off the bus earlier than her, so it seems the destination is not the northwest. We probably won’t have a chance to meet again in the future.
Su Tang sat back down and hugged the box tightly in his arms.
The train rumbled towards the northwest
The distance between Shanghai and the northwest is quite long, and Su Tang felt like his butt was about to break from sitting.
During this period, she only dozed off for a while and didn't dare to fall asleep.
Fortunately, no further accidents occurred and we arrived in the northwest safely.
Not many people get off here, most of them are women with one or two children.
When getting off the bus, Su Tang also helped a woman holding a baby carry her suitcase.
"Are you also going to the family compound?"
I thought I would never see each other again, but unexpectedly, we met again at an exit.
Zhang Cui smiled, lifted the child up, and asked this question.
Su Tang nodded. She didn't know the way either. The original owner's parents didn't say anything when they sent her to the train.
The book didn't even mention it, and she was still worried about how to get there.
"My husband has sent someone to pick me up. If you don't have anyone to pick you up, come with me."
Zhang Cui said this very generously, and Su Tang's eyes suddenly lit up.
There are indeed many good people in this era.
She followed Zhang Cui into a car. On the way, Su Tang found out that Zhang Cui's man and Lu Xiao were stationed in the same place.
Come to think of it, the two of them are somewhat related.
As the place got closer and closer, Su Tang couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
The book hardly mentions Lu Xiao, only saying that he is a bit cold and not very considerate.
But when the original owner was seeking death, he saved her life.
It shouldn't be too difficult to get along with.
When they arrived at the gate of the family compound, Su Tang got off and helped Zhang Cui carry the box. Before he could react, someone threw a rotten egg at him.
"Bad woman, you are not welcome here!"
"We don't want any young lady here, get out."
