Su Ting lay on the wooden bed, looking at the ceiling covered with a layer of dust, her face filled with despair.
Two days ago, she worked overtime until 10 pm as usual. Because the buses and subways were all stopped, she had no choice but to take a taxi back home.
She was always alert, and the new house she moved into was not far from the company, about 15 minutes by car. Therefore, no matter how much she played after get off work, no matter how tired she was, she would never fall asleep in a taxi.
But she was particularly sleepy that day. As soon as she got on the bus, her eyelids started to droop and she fell asleep in the car.
Before she fell into darkness, there were only three words left in her mind: It's over!
It turned out that she was indeed finished.
When she opened her eyes again, the whole world had changed. She had gone from being a single office worker in the 21st century to a newly married military wife in the 1970s. Oh, and she also had a six-year-old stepson. She had completed the double jump of getting married and having children in one go.
The love step is omitted, mainly because the original body had never been in love with her cheap husband. If we have to say it, this is a story about Mr. Dongguo and the wolf.
Well, He Dongchuan is Mr. Dongguo, and his original identity was a wolf.
The incident originated from a strange letter received by the original mother three months ago.
The writer of the letter is He Dongchuan's mother, Cheng Xiaoman. She and the original mother had been friends for many years, but their situations were quite different after marriage.
After marriage, Cheng Xiaoman followed her husband He Rong to join the army and became a battlefield nurse. The original mother followed her husband to stay in her hometown after marriage and worked diligently to farm to support herself.
Many years later, Cheng Xiaoman's husband became a senior officer in the army, and she herself became the head nurse of the military hospital. Her father was elected as the brigade secretary because of his lively and enthusiastic personality, and her mother was the secretary's wise wife.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the township system underwent major changes. The Red Star Commune where the Su family lived was located in the middle of the two places. Due to the division of labor and the inconveniences in transportation and communication, the people in the two places were unable to reestablish contact.
It was not until more than three months ago that Cheng Xiaoman met an old friend who was on a business trip to the capital. She heard about the news of her original mother from the friend, and then the letter-sending incident happened.
After receiving the letter from her handkerchief friend, the original mother was very happy and immediately asked her to write a letter and send it over. After a few exchanges, the two of them decided that Cheng Xiaoman would return home to visit her relatives.
Cheng Xiaoman's parents died early, and she had no close relatives or friends. He Rong did have brothers and sisters, but they were all children of his stepmother, and none of them had a good relationship with him.
Therefore, Cheng Xiaoman's return home this time was actually to visit her original mother.
He Dongchuan was on vacation at the time, and He Rong was worried about his wife going back home alone, so he assigned him to go with her.
It was during this meeting that the original body fell in love with He Dongchuan at first sight and decided to marry no one else but him.
It's just that the original body is confused, but her mother's brain is not broken. Not to mention the gap between the two families, just looking at the original body and He Dongchuan's own conditions, they are also very incompatible.
They originally said they had graduated from junior high school, but in fact they only attended the first grade. They went back home in the second grade because of the suspension of classes. After finally waiting for the resumption of classes, they encountered a shortage of teacher resources and other reasons. This group of students were directly sent away with a piece of graduation certificate. Those in the city were arranged to go to the countryside, and those in the countryside returned to their homes.
However, He Dongchuan is a real graduate of a military academy, and his academic qualifications and cultural level are much better than the original one.
In addition, although the original body became a scorekeeper after returning home, it was not because of her strong ability, but because of her father's influence. Her father originally wanted to get her to work in the brigade, following the director of the Women's Federation or the brigade accountant, but the original body was really useless, so she could only do a brainless job like a scorekeeper.
Let's look at He Dongchuan. After graduating from the military academy, he joined the special forces. He is only 27 years old this year, but he is already a battalion-level officer. It can be said that he has a bright future.
Of course, He Dongchuan's conditions were not perfect. He had been married once and had a six-year-old child.
But he has good conditions. Given his family background and his own conditions, it is not difficult for him to remarry and find a young girl with a city hukou and a formal job.
No matter how much the original mother loved her daughter, she was too embarrassed to force her daughter, who had nothing but her looks, on her best friend's son, so she told her daughter to give up the idea as soon as possible.
The original body felt so wronged. She was still her biological mother, how could she look down on her? How could she not be worthy of He Dongchuan? She still wanted to marry him.
But her mother was not helpful, so she had to come up with a bad idea and pretended to fall into the pond when He Dongchuan passed by.
He Dongchuan saved the original body.
In fact, he didn't really want to save her at that time. Her plan was too obvious and could be seen through at a glance. Anyone with a brain and clothes would not go out in a thin shirt in the cold winter.
But after walking for just ten seconds, he found that his original body really couldn't swim.
The pond was not located in a remote area, in the middle of the brigade. The problem was that most of the brigade members had gone to work at that time, so there were very few people coming and going, and not all of these people knew how to swim.
If he left, the original body might be drowned.
Thinking of the joy of reuniting his mother and good friend, He Dongchuan finally turned back and pulled his original body out of the pond.
It is obvious what happened next; He Dongchuan was blamed.
On one side is her best friend's son, on the other side is her own daughter who is trying to commit suicide, and there are rumors spreading more and more intensely outside. The original mother is unable to make a decision.
He's mother was not so entangled, because she liked He Dongchuan, the original body would deliberately please her and try hard to perform well. She also saw that the original body was looking at her younger generation through the filter, and thought that she was good in everything.
So when the rumor spread that her son had seen the original body naked, she quickly treated the original body as her daughter-in-law and persuaded her son to marry her.
After much discussion, He Dongchuan finally compromised and agreed to marry the original body.
If the story ended here, it would probably be a happy ending for the original person, but there is no if.
Perhaps because the marriage was planned, He Dongchuan was not satisfied with the original body, or perhaps it was because he was cold by nature. The two did not get along well after marriage. The original body's feelings were not reciprocated, and he gradually became dissatisfied.
In the third year of their marriage, He Dongchuan died in an accident. After the funeral, He's mother wanted her husband to remarry as she was still young and there was no need for her to stay with her son.
But the original body refused to remarry, saying that she wanted to stay with He Dongchuan for the rest of her life and raise the young He Yan.
Seeing her firm attitude, He's mother had no choice but to agree. Of course, she was also moved in her heart, so she did not object to the original body raising He Yan.
She thought that the original body wanted to raise her grandson out of love for the whole family, but in fact, the original body did it for revenge.
After adapting to the job arranged by He's father, she found an excuse to move out of the He family and vented all the dissatisfaction accumulated in three years of marriage on the young He Yan.
At first she didn't dare to do it too obviously, but when He Dongchuan's parents died one after another, she had no scruples anymore and turned from mental abuse to physical abuse.
Under such day-to-day abuse, He Yan's character gradually became distorted, so when he grew up, he quickly began to madly retaliate against his original owner and finally succeeded in sending her to prison.
The above is the life of "Su Ting", the stepmother of the male protagonist Long Aotian in the story "The Ups and Downs of Business".
But what made Su Ting feel that life was meaningless was not the original ending, after all, she changed into it early.
The original body had just married He Dongchuan, and in order to win her husband's heart, she was still trying to please He Yan. Therefore, at this time, the male protagonist Long Aotian was still a soft and cute dumpling.
Su Ting believed that as long as she was not as crazy about He Dongchuan as her original self, and treated He Yan well, she would not end up like her original self.
What made her feel hopeless was that after being a social animal for so many years, she finally made it through. She bought a house, renovated it, and moved in. Not even two months later, she felt like she had gone back to the days before liberation.
No, she might as well go back to the time before liberation.
At least she was still living in the 5G era before liberation, and food, clothing, housing and transportation were all very convenient. He had a job and was capable, so maybe he could buy a house in advance and live a comfortable life. Unlike now, there seems to be no bright future no matter how you look at it.
well.
Su Ting was sighing when there was a knock on the door. She turned her head slightly and asked listlessly, "What's wrong?"
"It's time to eat."
Su Ting turned her head to look at the alarm clock on the bedside table. It was twelve twenty-one, and it was indeed lunch time.
In fact, she didn't really want to eat, but when she touched her stomach and was about to speak, a "gurgling" sound suddenly came from the room.
Su Ting sighed, turned over and got up, and replied, "I'm coming."
Su Ting put on her slippers, walked to the door and opened it. When she lowered her head, she saw Xiaotuanzi standing at the door.
The little girl is He Yan, who just turned six in February. However, he is much taller than the six-year-old children she has in mind. He has long arms and legs, so he will definitely be tall when he grows up.
He didn't look thin, he had a round face and fair skin, and it was obvious that he was well-maintained.
This is certainly not He Dongchuan's credit. Before the original body married He Dongchuan, little Tuanzi had been living with his grandparents in the capital. He's mother felt sorry for him losing his mother at such a young age, so she loved him extra and gave him all the good food and drinks first, which is how she raised him to be what he is today.
However, He Yan is not an arrogant person. Su Ting has been here for two days, but she has not yet accepted the reality. She feels tired doing anything every day. After eating and drinking, she just wants to lie on the bed and have a good dream.
It’s embarrassing to say that in the past two days, He Yan had to go to the cafeteria to bring back their three meals a day.
We can't continue to degenerate like this.
Su Ting cheered herself up and followed He Yan to sit at the dining table.
The place where He Dongchuan's unit was stationed was called Pingchuan Island. Since it was an island, there was certainly no shortage of seafood, and the supply was also generous. Most fish did not require tickets, so the most popular dish served in the canteen of the family compound was seafood.
The day before yesterday we had oyster fried eggs for lunch, yesterday we had braised prawns, and today we had steamed turbot.
The food is good and the chef's cooking skills are excellent, but the rice is hard to swallow.
Before traveling through time, Su Ting had read a lot of period literature, which all said that refined rice and fine noodles were good things, while corn flour and sorghum flour were coarse grains that could barely fill the stomach.
Therefore, after learning that Pingchuan Island is located in Mindi and the food supply is mainly rice, Su Ting felt a little fortunate in her heart, as she is a die-hard rice party.
But soon, this joy turned into despair.
The rice supplied in the cafeteria is so irritating to the throat!
I really want to wear it back.
