You definitely can't put it back on if you just lie down.
After lying in the room for two days, Su Ting has already recognized this reality.
It is impossible for her to do anything drastic in order to wear it back, such as fasting, hanging, and other suicide behaviors. First, she is afraid of pain, and second, she has not lived enough.
Who knows whether she would put her hair back on or just braid it after committing suicide.
It is better to live a miserable life than to die a good death, even if it is in the seventies, even if the original ending of this body was not good.
Although conditions were difficult in the 1970s, she married a good woman. He Dongchuan was a battalion commander, and his monthly salary and allowances totaled more than 100 yuan. In that era, he was a high-income earner.
According to the original novel, although He Dongchuan did not like the original body, he did not mistreat her in life when she was alive and provided her with sufficient living expenses.
Besides, the place where He Dongchuan followed the army was the southern island, so I couldn't say anything else, but there was no shortage of seafood. Although the rice was a bit coarse, it was not inedible. Anyway, the original body had eaten it for so many years without any problems, so he would slowly adapt to it.
We only have a few years to endure.
This year is 1974. In three years, the Games will be over, the college entrance examination will be resumed, reform and opening up will be implemented, and grain, oil, rice and flour will be gradually made available until all kinds of tickets are gradually cancelled.
Entering the 1980s, she should be able to live a comfortable life.
The original character in the novel also lived a comfortable life for many years.
After He Dongchuan passed away, she and He Yan were taken back to the capital by the He family's elders, and He's father found her an office job in a state-owned factory.
Although the original body had average abilities, jobs in this era were all stable jobs, so after He's father passed away, the original body's job was still stable. She was also lucky, that unit not only survived the expiration and closure wave, but also developed better and better, and the employee benefits were becoming more and more complete.
If He Yan hadn't gone crazy and taken revenge on his original self after growing up, she should have been able to have a stable old age.
The original body did not live happily in her later years, but Su Ting felt that she could.
Although her current identity is the male protagonist's vicious stepmother, the timeline is earlier, and her original body and He Dongchuan had been married for less than a month.
At this time, the original body had not yet given up on He Dongchuan, and was still trying hard to please He Yan in order to gain his love. The relationship between them was far from breaking down.
As long as she can treat He Yan well after He Dongchuan's death, it should not be difficult for her to reach the finale even if she cannot get the male protagonist's golden thigh in the future.
Thinking of this, Su Ting looked up at He Yan, who was sitting across the table, and asked, "How are you doing in school?"
Hearing her voice, He Yan looked over in surprise.
When He Yan first heard that his father was going to remarry, he was looking forward to meeting his new mother. However, when he actually met Su Ting, his expectations were instantly extinguished.
Although He's mother loved her only grandson He Yan very much, his mother's early death and his father's long-term absence from home had a great impact on his personality, making him more mature and sensitive than his peers.
Therefore, he could easily see the coldness beneath his new mother's enthusiastic flattery.
She doesn't like him.
At least not as much as it looks like.
He Yan thought, if you don't like me, then I don't like you either. It's just mother, right? He doesn't need it!
Sure enough, a few days after her father left home, her attitude towards him changed. Not only did she not cook, well, actually He Yan was very happy that she didn't cook, because the food she cooked was really bad.
But she was too lazy and lay in bed every day, and he had to bring her three meals a day from the cafeteria.
Yesterday he heard two aunts talking about her, saying that her behavior was double-dealing, and that double-dealing was manifested in that she cared about him when his father was around, but ignored him when his father was away.
To be honest, although being a double-dealer is not good, he doesn't hate his new mother who doesn't care about him now.
Because the way she looked at him was no longer as if he were a tool.
They didn't communicate much in the past two days, just repeating the same few sentences: "It's time for dinner," "I'm here," "I'll wash the dishes," and "Thank you."
She seemed to like saying thank you very much and would make a point to thank him before every meal.
He Yan rarely meets such people in his life. Adults always treat him as a child and rarely say "thank you" to him seriously. Occasionally, they say it with a bit of joking and teasing.
Just like she used to be.
But now, when she said "thank you", her tone was always very serious. Of course, He Yan didn't know what seriousness meant, but every time he heard her say this, he felt that he had accomplished something big.
He is so awesome.
This made him feel satisfied. He thought that it didn't matter if she continued to be lazy like this, as he could always help her get meals.
Having said that, they had very little communication in the past few days. The problem was not with He Yan, but with Su Ting.
Although she had no relatives and only a few close friends before she traveled through time, she still couldn't accept the fact of traveling through a book and quickly change her identity in a second like many heroines in novels she had read before.
She hoped that she was dreaming and could put it back on when she woke up.
So she was very lazy and just lay in bed, not wanting to move.
The man of the house happened to be away, and He Yan was still a child, so he was unable to notice her changes quickly, so she naturally rotted and died.
In this situation, she had no desire to communicate with anyone.
Therefore, when Su Ting cheered up and faced reality and asked He Yan about his situation in school, he was surprised.
A six-year-old child cannot hide his emotions very well. Su Ting saw his surprise and couldn't help but wonder if her previous question was a breach of her character.
That's impossible. The original body cares about He Yan much more than she does.
If we talk about her character being ruined, her behavior two days ago was even more ruined.
Just as she was thinking, Su Ting heard He Yan reply, "Not bad."
Su Ting forgot about those random thoughts and continued to ask: "Did you understand the lesson?"
Su Ting asked this not because she looked down on He Yan, but because the age limit for going to school in the capital was quite strict. He just turned six in February and was still studying in the seedling raising class before coming to Pingchuan Island.
The nursery class is the kindergarten of later generations. Although it also teaches reading and arithmetic, it is explained in a very simple way.
There are no nursery classes on Pingchuan Island, and the school age is not strictly limited. It is said that children can go to primary school at the age of six, but in reality, they can be sent there at the age of four or five. As long as the children have basic self-care abilities, the school will accept them.
At He Yan's age, it would not be too late for him to start school as a freshman in September. Anyway, the original owner was unemployed at the moment and could take care of him.
But He Dongchuan didn't know whether he was afraid that his son Xin would become too playful or he was worried about his original body, so he sent He Yan to primary school as soon as his household registration was settled.
It is April now, and the first grade second semester courses are almost halfway through, but He Yan was still in the seedling class more than half a month ago, so it is certain that he cannot keep up.
He Yan's face flushed, but he refused to admit that he didn't understand at all, and said, "I understand a little bit."
Su Ting said "oh" and didn't ask any further questions.
She thought that given He Yan's situation, He Dongchuan would probably let him continue to the first grade in September. This half semester would be enough for him to adapt to the pace of elementary school.
Therefore, it didn't really matter whether He Yan understood more or less. It was not something that she, as the stepmother, should worry about for the time being, so she continued to eat with peace of mind.
On the contrary, He Yan felt very upset when he saw that she just said "oh" and didn't say anything.
Just say what you want to say!
…
After dinner, Su Ting took the lunch box and walked into the kitchen.
This house was allocated to the original body when she married He Dongchuan and joined the rear-end military unit.
Because He Dongchuan was only a battalion commander, the house was not very big, with a total area of only about 60 square meters, with two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom.
Both rooms are not big, but the living room is quite spacious. It may be because there are too few furnitures - there is only a round dining table and a four-layer chest.
Although the place is not big, it is quite convenient to live in. The faucets are installed throughout the house and there is a ceramic squat toilet in the bathroom.
This is also the reason why Su Ting feels that life is still manageable.
After washing the lunch box, Su Ting went to the bathroom to wash her hands again. She didn't use soap. There was only an opened bar of soap at home, which He Yan used when taking a bath. She suspected that He Dongchuan also used this bar, so she took a bath with clean water these two days.
She had compromised wherever she could, hoping to wear it back in time. Now she had given up the idea and was ready to live in this era for a long time, as some things were imminent.
So after coming out of the bathroom, Su Ting went straight to the master bedroom, opened the closet, and took out a metal box from it.
Although He Dongchuan was not satisfied with his original wife, she was after all the daughter of his mother's good friend, so he prepared everything necessary for a marriage, including the three most popular items.
However, He Dongchuan was not sure whether the original body would need the three major items, so in addition to the watch, sewing machine and bicycle, he gave tickets and the corresponding money.
If she wants it, she can go to the island with the army and buy it later. If she doesn't want it, she can sell the ticket to someone else.
Of course the original person couldn't sell the ticket to someone else. This was the betrothal gift that He Dongchuan prepared for her. Even if she couldn't use it, she had to buy it back and keep it!
Although the commodities in the supply and marketing cooperative on the island theoretically include the three major items, they are often out of stock and need to be adjusted. He Dongchuan took two leave in the past two months and was extremely busy when he came back. He had no time to accompany her to the market to buy a sewing machine and a bicycle.
The original body didn't want to go to the city alone. She had never traveled far alone since she was a child, except for coming to Pingchuan Island with He Dongchuan.
So the matter was put on hold.
Therefore, Su Ting still had considerable savings after she came here.
The biggest part of it was naturally the betrothal gift from He Dongchuan. In the countryside these days, the betrothal gift for marrying a wife is around 8.8 yuan or 18.8 yuan. Anything over 50 yuan is considered a huge betrothal gift. The betrothal gift for marriage in the capital is higher, but it is generally within 200 yuan.
But He's mother liked Su Ting, so in addition to the money He Dongchuan paid himself, she also helped add a little, making a total of 688 for Su Ting.
Then there was the cash for the sewing machine and bicycle. Both items cost around one hundred and fifty yuan each. He Dongchuan gave a total of four hundred yuan and two corresponding coupons.
The Su family loved their daughter very much, and because the gap between the two families was too big, they did not keep a penny of the betrothal gift, and even gave fifty yuan to the original body, and used it together with the betrothal gift given by He Dongchuan as a dowry.
In addition to the wedding money, after arriving on the island, He Dongchuan also gave the original body a household allowance of fifty yuan.
The Su family was considered wealthy in the brigade, but not as wealthy as the He family. In junior high school, the Su family lived in the school dormitory, and their living expenses were less than three yuan a week. Later, they became scorekeepers, and they were paid in work points, which was only 20 to 30 yuan a year.
After getting married, I was able to control so much money, but I didn't dare to spend it. I only bought necessities, such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, pots, pans, and bowls. Now, after half a month, I still have half of the household expenses left.
Although household expenses cannot be counted as her savings, the other three amounts are still considerable, adding up to more than 1,100 yuan!
After calculating the prices of goods in that era and looking at the large rolls of money in the metal box, Su Ting's heart gradually calmed down.
She has money in her hands and is not worried. This is how she is now.
