Yao Qingshuang suddenly opened her eyes, and what came into view was a roof covered with rough thatch. The mottled texture was intertwined with the traces of time, exuding a simple and old atmosphere.
A ray of scorching sunlight filtered through the gaps in the thin thatch, casting patches of light into the house and forming golden beams of light.
Those beams of light swayed gently in the air, shimmering with a dreamy luster, but also made Yao Qingshuang feel a little dazzled.
Yao Qingshuang subconsciously closed her eyes, then slowly opened them again, looking around, trying to confirm the authenticity of all this.
I found myself lying flat on the cold, hard bed, surrounded by unfamiliar, simple furnishings and rough earthen walls, and an indescribable sense of surprise suddenly welled up in my heart.
It turned out that I was not dreaming, but had really traveled to this strange place.
Yao Qingshuang sighed softly, feeling mixed emotions.
She, Yao Qingshuang, was an ordinary person living in modern society.
That day, she went to the nearby FamilyMart to shop as usual, holding her mobile phone in her hand, her eyes fixed on the screen, completely immersed in the world of the phone.
As she walked, she laughed or frowned from time to time at the content on her mobile phone, and didn't pay any attention to what was happening under her feet.
Just then, an accident happened.
She walked unnoticed to a broken elevator, which had stopped running for some reason and there were no obvious warning signs around it.
Yao Qingshuang was still looking at her phone and took a step forward. As a result, she lost her balance in an instant. Before she could even scream "Ah", she was thrown straight down from the elevator where the accident happened.
When the people around reacted and rushed over to check, they found that Yao Qingshuang was already dead. Just like that, because of an accident, the young life came to an abrupt end.
However, what she didn't expect was that death was not the end.
When she regained consciousness, she found herself in a completely unfamiliar world. This was the Great Yan Dynasty, which had never appeared in history, and she was in Sujia Village, Da'an County, Qingzhou Prefecture.
At this time, she became Old Lady Yao.
Although her name is still Yao Qingshuang, her identity is completely different.
Although she was called Old Lady Yao, the original owner of this body was actually only in her early forties.
But in this era, people's living conditions were far worse than those of modern times. The original owner worked hard all year round, with endless farm work and housework to do every day. She went out in the wind and rain. The long-term fatigue and difficult living environment made her look more than ten years older than her actual age.
In this era when people can get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and the average life expectancy is only fifty or sixty years old.
At the age of forty, she is indeed a grandmother in the village. Moreover, she is of an older generation, so when people around her see her, they will respectfully call her Old Lady Yao.
Yao Qingshuang could only smile bitterly and accept this new identity helplessly.
Old Lady Yao's husband, Su Jincheng, is a talented but ill-fated scholar.
He was well-read since childhood and had great ambitions. He wanted to pass the imperial examination, embark on a career in officialdom, and bring honor to his family.
However, fate always seems to like to play tricks on people.
Although Su Jincheng put in countless efforts and hard work, he set out for the imperial examination with full of hope every time, but he could only return with a heart full of disappointment every time.
Failing the entrance exam again and again left him feeling bitter and depressed. This setback gradually weakened Su Jincheng's spirit.
He began to become silent and the light in his eyes gradually dimmed.
On that bleak autumn day ten years ago, Su Jincheng finally couldn't bear the long-term frustration. In endless regret and despair, he closed his eyes, leaving behind Old Lady Yao and the children, and passed away.
Old Mrs. Yao is a capable person. After Mr. Su left, she raised four children by herself. Now her sons are all married and have children.
When Mrs. Yao's eldest daughter, Su Wenxuan, grew up, she married Zhou Shitou, a hunter in the village.
Although Zhou Shitou is a hunter and deals with wild animals in the mountains all day long, he is a simple and honest person with a kind heart, and he loves Su Wenxuan very much.
After getting married, Su Wenxuan began to live a life of taking care of her husband and children.
Not long after, she gave birth to two sons. The eldest son, Zhou Xiaowen, was eight years old, and the younger son, Zhou Xiaowu, was six years old. They were chubby and quite clever.
The second son, Su Wencheng, has been placed with high hopes by his father, Su Xiucai, since he was a child.
Su Xiucai wholeheartedly hoped that his son would inherit his unfulfilled dream of taking the imperial examination, make a name for himself in the official career, and bring honor to the family.
Su Wencheng was also well aware of his father's expectations. Ever since he was old enough to understand, he had been accompanied by books all day long. His small desk was piled with all kinds of classics, history, and collections. He immersed himself in them every day, and the sound of his reading often echoed in the house.
At the age of 20, he finally passed the examination and became a student.
In the end, Su Wencheng realized that he lacked the qualifications and his family conditions could not sustain it, so he had to stop there and gave up the idea of ​​continuing the scientific examination.
He married Li Zhaodi, a newcomer to the village.
Li Zhaodi is a hardworking woman. Although her family is not well-off, she is good at doing housework.
After the marriage, Li Zhaodi soon gave birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, for Su Wencheng, and named them Su Minglan and Su Mingyang.
Both children are six years old this year and are very well-behaved and sensible.
The third son, Su Wenjun, is tall and strong, and his personality is more cheerful and straightforward than that of his second brother, Su Wencheng.
