She unexpectedly transmigrated and became Song Ziqing, who had the same name and appearance as her parents in her previous life. Even her parents had the same personality and appearance as her parents in her previous life.
However, while they were originally from Sichuan, they are now from Shanghai, with ancestral roots in Hainan, and are also members of the collateral branch of the Song family, one of the four major families of the Republic of China.
Song Ziqing guessed that the reason his parents were sent to the countryside was also related to the fact that they were members of the Song clan.
Furthermore, they were professors at Fudan University, and this identity as intellectuals was a very sensitive one in that era.
The thought of her parents going to Yunnan, a place teeming with poisonous insects, snakes, and ants, kept her at ease. She always wanted to find an opportunity to go to Yunnan as soon as possible after she was sent to the countryside to see how her parents were doing there.
She has no shortage of supplies, and she can use them to build good relationships with the locals and ask them to take care of her parents. She guesses that these people are also short of supplies, and with her supplies, her parents can live well even in the most remote mountain village.
She was thinking too much, and Lin Chengyu noticed the smile on her face. Especially since she had traveled from modern society to the backward environment of the 1960s, she was not only positive and motivated, but also wanted to help the rural areas she went to to get rid of poverty and become rich.
Looking at such a vibrant and thoughtful girl, Lin Chengyu felt that he was truly smitten.
The girl he was attracted to was also his fiancée, and he felt that he had found the direction for his future life.
That is to marry her and live a good life with her.
Thinking of this, he was extremely happy to let Song Ziqing accompany him to the Xinhua Bookstore, and even suggested: "We can not only buy books at the Xinhua Bookstore, but also buy second-hand books at the scrap yard. Although the books there are all second-hand, the content is even richer."
“Okay, we still have a long afternoon. Let’s go to Xinhua Bookstore first. If they don’t have many books, we’ll go to the scrap metal recycling station.”
Song Ziqing was not short of money and genuinely felt that saving money in the 1960s was meaningless. As long as there were supplies, whether or not she had money would not affect her quality of life.
"Looks like you really aren't short of money!"
Lin Chengyu knew that this girl was from the future and should be very familiar with this era. He had also read online novels and knew that many people who were reborn or time-traveled liked to go to the junkyard. They all thought that people in this era were stupid and that all the good things went to the junkyard.
But little did they know that in this era of scarcity, even a single plank of wood was something many people would want to snatch and take home.
Those wealthy families whose homes were raided, even if they had valuable items, had them taken directly back to their own homes by the raiders; they certainly wouldn't have been sent to a scrap yard!
However, some people set up their bases directly at scrap metal collection stations. But the staff at those stations are incredibly shrewd; they're unlikely to let anyone take away the good stuff!
However, he was taking into account that Song Ziqing possessed a legendary storage bag-like existence, which meant that she might actually have a chance to take the treasure with her when she went to the scrap yard to search for it.
Little did he know that Song Ziqing would take the unconventional path!
Surprisingly, I wasn't very interested in treasure hunting at the junkyard!
Song Ziqing wasn't particularly interested in treasure hunting. Mainly because her predecessor had already stolen dozens of boxes of good stuff from Wang Dagang and his gang, and with the Song family's treasures already, she really didn't lack any more treasures.
Of course, if the two of them couldn't find anything good at the Xinhua Bookstore, she wouldn't refuse if they went to the scrap yard to look for treasures.
However, Song Ziqing was genuinely reluctant to go to a chaotic place.
In her past life, she traveled all over the world and saw too many people and things, so she wasn't very interested in so-called treasures.
Of course, it's not that she doesn't like babies anymore, but rather that her standards are too high; she doesn't find ordinary babies appealing.
Most importantly, she is unaware that Lin Chengyu has already discovered her ring's space. She doesn't want anyone to find out about its existence, so when Lin Chengyu accompanies her to the scrap yard, she can only choose more good books.
Shanghai is indeed a big city. Song Ziqing went to the largest Xinhua Bookstore in Shanghai and found many books she needed. She spent over a hundred yuan to buy dozens of books that she would need for her trip to the countryside, as well as books that she was interested in.
Since it was still early, Song Ziqing noticed that Lin Chengyu was still thinking about the scrap metal shop, so he suggested, "Why don't we go to the scrap metal shop and buy some more books suitable for the villagers? Especially comic books that children like. We can donate these books to the Songjia Village Committee so they can set up a library. I think the villagers would definitely welcome that."
Most people in rural areas are illiterate, but comic books are different; both adults and children can understand them.
"Comic books really are the most suitable books for rural areas. We should have bought some at the bookstore earlier; they were all complete sets."
Lin Chengyu felt that Song Ziqing was really good at putting herself in other people's shoes and thinking about others.
Girls like this are rare in any era, and he understands that society has not only black and white but also gray areas.
He yearns for light, and Song Ziqing is his light. Black and gray are the colors he leaves for himself, the colors he will protect in the future. He doesn't mind being stained black and gray.
No, it's not dyed, but rather he has always lived in a world of black and gray.
Song Ziqing had no idea that Lin Chengyu was already planning their future together. Instead, she followed behind him, looking at the scrap metal shop not far away, and said, "This place is really big, and the smell inside is not very pleasant! Luckily it's already autumn; if it were still summer, I wouldn't go in!"
Seeing her sweet and coquettish manner, Lin Chengyu replied in a good-natured manner, "Then we are quite lucky. It's September or October now, which is the most comfortable season in Shanghai, neither too hot nor too cold. Let's hurry up and go in to find some books while there aren't many people. Let's find as many as possible and send them away together with the new books later."
"Then you go and leave the book with the old man at the door for a while, I'll go find the book first."
Song Ziqing discovered that although Lin Chengyu was thin, he was still very strong. He carried the dozens of books she had bought, and he didn't complain at all during the journey.
She also took out two medical masks from the ring's storage space, put one on herself, and gave one to Lin Chengyu, saying, "There's too much dust here, let's put on our masks."
Having lived alone for a long time, Song Ziqing was very conscious of her own safety. Lin Chengyu admired her greatly when he saw her using her green backpack like a treasure chest.
