February 28, 1966.
Chengdu.
In the innermost room on the third floor of the water plant’s staff quarters, the five members of the Song family were sitting together having dinner.
There was a rich variety of dishes on the table: sausages, bacon, fried cabbage and fried potatoes.
Two meat dishes and one vegetable dish, that’s how Chinese New Year is supposed to be.
The atmosphere among the five people present was somewhat awkward. Upstairs, Song's mother, Liu Hongmei, cleared her throat and said, "Today is Beibei's 17th birthday. Tomorrow she's going to the countryside to support the people, and the eldest is getting married. Let's have a good family reunion dinner, and later..."
Before she finished speaking, her younger brother Song Zipeng urged impatiently: "Mom, can we eat now? I'm almost starving."
"What's the rush?!"
Liu Hongmei glared at him, but without any anger in her eyes, she nodded indulgently: "Okay, let's start."
Song Zipeng immediately put the sausages and bacon into the bowl. Song Jianhua, Song's father, who was always taciturn, also picked up his chopsticks silently.
Song Weiwei picked up a piece of bacon.
Song Beibei also wanted to pick up a piece, but saw Liu Hongmei's face frowning, so she naturally turned away and picked up a piece of cabbage with chopsticks.
Only then did her complexion improve.
Song Beibei lowered his head, acting as an invisible man as usual.
If it were the original owner, she would probably cry secretly all night long, and she wouldn't dare cry out loud because she was sleeping in the same bed with her sister.
She has been in this world for one month.
I was very calm before coming here. I just took a nap and when I woke up I found myself in this strange world.
After a month, she also figured out that this was the 1960s in China, which was very similar to the era in her own world, but there were some differences in minor details.
For example, in her world, it was in 1968 that the state mandated that every family must have someone go to the countryside, but now it has been advanced by two years.
The Song family consists of 5 people.
Song Jianhua supports his family alone. He is a level 3 worker at the water plant and earns 68 yuan a month.
Liu Hongmei is a housewife.
She was a capable woman who kept the house in order and sent all three of her children to high school.
But fingers are of different lengths.
With three children, there will always be one who is partial to someone.
She is a traditional woman who values boys over girls and believes that only sons can carry on the family line.
The eldest sister Song Weiwei is the first child in the family, so she is quite valued.
The original body was only one year older than his younger brother Song Zipeng. Liu Hongmei became pregnant right after she came out of confinement, and he had no time to take care of her.
She is so lucky to have lived to this age.
In this family, the original person has always been a transparent person. The second child has always been the most obedient, the most sensible, and the most caring, but he is the least favored.
The original body is no exception.
She had just arrived and had a low fever for three days before she recovered. Therefore, Song Beibei guessed that the original person died of a high fever.
As for the reason.
It has something to do with my younger brother.
Song Zipeng was only 15 years old, but he already had a girlfriend who was well-off. He cried and made a fuss, asking his family to find him a job.
Schools are now closed.
He only has a junior high school education, no outstanding abilities, and no family connections. How can he find a job?
therefore.
Song Jianhua and Liu Hongmei set their sights on the original body.
Both the original body and the elder sister Song Weiwei are good-looking.
Song Weiwei was quite successful. She found her partner while she was still studying. His family were all workers and they promised her a job which she would start working in after they got married.
At the same time, there is a betrothal gift of 300 yuan.
This betrothal gift was to be kept at home, and Liu Hongmei would use it to help Song Zipeng get married.
Therefore, her idea was of no use.
It's also a coincidence.
Somehow a family heard that Liu Hongmei was going to tell Song Beibei about someone else's affairs, so they came to her house on their own initiative.
Their family is willing to give him a job in a steel mill.
Liu Hongmei agreed without hesitation.
There is no such thing as a free lunch.
The son of that family is a fool.
How could the original person be willing to marry a fool? She cried and refused on the spot. Liu Hongmei scolded her and locked her in the house, telling her not to come out until she admitted her mistake.
The original body was in despair and had a high fever.
When I woke up, it was Song Beibei.
She is just an ordinary person. In her previous life, she was a silly college student from an ordinary family. Faced with the unreasonable Liu Hongmei, she had no good way to deal with it.
Just when she was about to display the traditional virtue of contemporary college students - going crazy.
One thing prevented her from collapsing.
That was January 15th.
A red-headed document was issued requiring every family to send at least one child to the countryside.
Saved.
At that time, Song Beibei breathed a sigh of relief.
Liu Hongmei felt regretful for a long time, and finally had to turn down the marriage.
Let’s get back to the topic.
After dinner, Liu Hongmei told her to clean up the dishes as usual: "Be quick, or you'll waste kerosene to light the lamp when it gets dark."
Song Beibei: "I understand."
The other four members of the Song family dispersed. Song Jianhua went out to brag to his brothers, Liu Hongmei and Song Zipeng went into the bedroom together, and Song Weiwei also returned to her own bedroom.
She washes the dishes and wipes the table.
After finishing, I breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to go back to the house to pack my luggage.
At this time.
Liu Hongmei opened the door and called out to her, "Second brother, the bean sprouts in the basin should be almost done. Remember to take them down. I'll use them for cooking tomorrow."
Song Beibei responded subconsciously: "Okay."
With a "bang", the door closed again.
Song Beibei pulled a pouty face, but still resigned herself to her fate and walked to the wooden barrel in the corner and lifted the colander on top.
A row of white and juicy bean sprouts came into her sight. They had been sprouting for 4 days and were almost done.
It was sent by her.
With the memories of his original body, he is familiar with these housework.
After taking a look, she got up and went back to the house to get the scissors.
Cut them all off.
She was about to get up and put the bean sprouts on the dining table in the living room when she suddenly noticed a ball of golden light appear next to the wooden barrel. The light was flickering slightly and attracting attention.
"What's this?"
Song Beibei reached out curiously and gently touched the golden ball of light.
Instantly, a ball of light spread out from her hand, and a thought entered her mind: "Harvest 500 soybean sprouts, and you will be rewarded with 500g of soy protein powder."
A flash of consciousness.
She suddenly noticed a storage compartment, which contained 500g of soy protein powder.
Song Beibei's heart moved.
An aluminum can appeared in her hand.
Is this true?
"Great, the gold finger has finally arrived."
She has always been worried about how she would survive in the countryside.
She has an average IQ, average physical strength, can't drive, doesn't speak English, and is self-aware enough to know she can't navigate the black market.
The most important thing is that her pockets are empty.
The original person was a very honest man and did not hide any private money.
This really made her suffer.
Now that I have the golden finger, there is finally hope.
Take back the soy protein powder.
Blessings come to the mind.
In an instant, she understood everything about this golden finger.
All the plants that you plant and cultivate yourself can produce golden balls of light when they mature, and they can produce food, clothing, housing, transportation, gold, silver, jewelry and other things.
