Chapter 2 Traveling Through Time
After shopping that day, Mi Xia returned to the hotel, ordered a meal and had the waiter deliver it to the room. After taking a shower and taking care of her skin, the meal arrived. After eating, she went to rest, ready to continue shopping the next day when she woke up.
On the next day, Mi Xia opened her eyes energetically, her head ached, and a memory that did not belong to her emerged. The original owner had the same name as her, but their life trajectories were completely different.
Mi Xia is fifteen years old, a single noble, while the original owner got married early and has a two-year-old daughter, who is now ten years old because of early marriage.
The marriage was arranged for the original owner by her grandfather when she was very young. Her grandfather had saved Mo Haoyue's grandfather.
The original owner's grandfather passed away in her early years, and her parents both passed away when she was still young. The original owner grew up with her brother and sister-in-law, so she developed a cautious and taciturn personality.
After Mo Haoyue joined the army and became an officer, he became Xu Cuihua's most satisfied son, with a monthly salary and allowance of 16 yuan.
In the 1970s, it was considered great to save up this much money in a year, especially in the countryside.
When Xu Cuihua went to the army to visit her son, she learned that a chief's daughter was courting her son. When she came back, she liked the original owner and wanted to cancel the engagement. Her son had become so outstanding that the original owner was no match for him.
How can a rural child without a father or mother compare with the daughter of a leader?
But Grandpa Mo was unwilling, and Xu Cuihua had no choice but to marry him back in the end. The original owner was beautiful, and Mo Haoyue was inferior.
He had sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, a high nose bridge, and a pair of extremely attractive peach blossom eyes, so the original owner liked Mo Haoyue very much. Such looks were rare in the countryside.
After the marriage, Mo Haoyue treated the original owner badly, and he had to go back when the time came, so after the wedding banquet, he stayed for ten days and then returned to the army.
Logically speaking, with so much allowance, the original owner should have lived a good life, but the original owner and Mo Haoyue did not separate after they got married, and Xu Cuihua was the head of the family.
The original owner never had any contact with the money, and Xu Cuihua used the money to subsidize other houses.
Even more fortunately, one month after Mo Haoyue left, his whereabouts were revealed after he went on a mission. Xu Cuihua then scolded the original owner, saying that her son was gone because of her marriage, and she called the original owner a jinx.
At this time, the original owner was found to be pregnant. Xu Cuihua was afraid that the villagers would say that she was mistreating pregnant women, so she treated the original owner a little better, but she still had to do what she should do, which was to beat and scold her again.
The original owner gave birth to a daughter in such an environment. At that time, people in the countryside valued boys over girls, so after the original owner gave birth to a daughter, Xu Cuihua became even more harsh on her.
Nowadays, rural daughters-in-law are rarely bullied by their mothers-in-law after giving birth to granddaughters, so Xu Cuihua was afraid of being criticized by others.
During the confinement period, Xu Cuihua asked her to wash clothes with cold water, cook, take care of the child during the day, go to work, come back to do housework, stay up late to take care of the child at night, and have a good rest all day long.
Even so, Xu Cuihua still scolded the original owner at every turn, saying that her son married her to take the position of an officer's daughter, and now her son's whereabouts are unknown.
The original owner was in the wrong, and felt that she was the one who harmed Mo Haoyue, so she dared to pretend to obey and do whatever she was told to do. After enduring this for more than two years, the original owner was exhausted, and now there is Mi Xia.
After accepting these memories, Mi Xia sighed. It was true that kind people were often bullied. But now that she was here, everything would be fine.
After looking at the surroundings, he found himself lying on the kang, with a few wooden boxes at the head of the kang, a thin, black quilt covering his body, and a little girl sleeping next to him.
Fortunately, she had been mentally prepared. If she were to travel to this kind of environment and this era, she would be sick to death. This place is a parallel space that she has never heard of. The names of the great men are the same, and the only thing that has not changed is that the direction of things is almost the same as the era she lived in.
The village where the original owner lived was called Mojia Village. Almost everyone in this village had the surname Mo. Mojia Village was close to the mountain. People of that era lived off the mountain and the sea, so the men often went outside the mountain to hunt pheasants and rabbits to eat, and the children would go down the mountain to pick grass for pigs to earn a living.
Because of the mountains, even in the most difficult times, the villagers of Mojia Village and nearby villagers relied on these endless mountains to persevere.
It is now July 22, 1975. The college entrance examination was resumed in 1977, and Mi Xia wanted to take advantage of these two years to review well.
Before she came here, she was a top student. She was always among the top students in the school.
From undergraduates to doctoral students, they all studied at Beijing-Tsinghua University, which is ranked high in the country.
But the test questions of this era are definitely different from those of the past, and it would be good for her to read more books.
Just as I calmed down, I heard the hurried voice of Mo Jianguo, the son of Mo Lao, outside, "Aunt, Aunt is fine, grandma said she wants to sell my sister (the original owner's daughter) to the stupid son of the village head's relative."
Mo Jianguo had been very kind to her and her daughter Mi Xia before they came, because he admired his uncle very much, and Mo Haoyue asked him to take care of Mi Xia before he left.
Mo Haoyue knew what kind of person his mother was, so he let her go and asked Mo Jianguo to write to him if he had anything to say. Who knew that after Mo Haoyue left, there was no news from him.
When Mi Xia and her daughter had nothing to eat, Mo Jianguo would save his own rations for them to eat. When she was bullied, Mo Lao would speak up for her. After Mo Xiaosao finished her work, she would secretly help her with the work.
So in this family, only Mo Jiege's family was really good to her and Mo Zhixia.
Mi Xia searched for some information about the stupid son of the village head's relative, and found out that he was a real fool.
Mo Zhixia is very cute and inherited all the good qualities of Mi Xia and Mo Haoyue, so he was favored by his family.
Mi Xia looks like her mother. When her mother was young, she was a great beauty in the area. Mo Haoyue is also very handsome, and the little girl has the best features of both Mo Haoyue and Mi Xia.
Mi Xia was so angry when she thought of this that she asked Mo Jianguo to go and call the village chief. When she walked out of the house, she saw Xu Cuihua, who was her mother-in-law and the head of the village's relative, discussing how much money to pay.
Xu Cuihua always felt that even if she raised Mo Zhixia, she would just be a money-loser and a waste of the family's food.
