Chapter 1 Traveling to the 1960s



Because she was frail and sickly, she couldn't help her family, but she was still a good student and was admitted to high school.

She is not stupid. When she grows up, she will be able to tell who is good and who is bad.

Her parents are good to her, and her younger brother Jiang Beibei is also very well-behaved. Although the family lives in poverty, they are fortunately happy.

It was not until a few years ago that the quota for supporting national construction was allocated to the Jiang family.

Judging by age, no one in their family is on the quota. Jiang's father and mother are both in their forties and have long passed this age.

The only one left is Jiang Baige, and she is still two months away from reaching the required age. This is either a mistake or someone has tampered with it.

Jiang's father also felt that there was something wrong and went to inquire, but the person only said that it had been verified and there was no mistake.

That night, Jiang's father and mother discussed the matter all night in bed. Their daughter was too young and they were unwilling to let her go to the countryside.

The old couple discussed trying to use their connections to see if they could spend some money to keep the person.

Although they spoke in low voices, Jiang Baige, who was sitting on the other side of the wall, still heard them.

Jiang Baige knew where this family could get the money.

They will definitely have to find someone to send the money. If the family spends all the money on themselves, then the family will really be stretched to the limit and how will they live in the future.

Jiang Baige, who was not due to turn sixteen until the Chinese New Year, secretly signed her name.

She was a high school student after all, but her family couldn't afford to spend a few hundred dollars to find her a job in the city.

It’s good to have this opportunity to become an educated youth. With one less person at home, I can save some food and not have to borrow food for the New Year before the end of the year.

By the time Jiang's father and mother received the notice, it was too late; the assigned areas had already been arranged.

They were reluctant to leave, but they had no choice but to help pack the luggage.

The Jiang family was poor to begin with, and all their money was only twenty-three yuan and sixty-five cents.

Not a penny was left at home, and Jiang Baige took it all with her.

Her mother also told her to go to the countryside and buy whatever she needed, and when the family had money, she would send it to her.

The family was reluctant to let Jiang Baige go, but they had no choice but to send her on the train.

Before getting on the bus, Jiang Baige quietly took out ten yuan and put it into her mother's pocket.

She kept thirteen dollars and sixty-five cents for herself. Anyway, she brought some dry food to eat on the road. When she got there, the food relationship was transferred and she could get food for this month so she wouldn't starve.

She was also a calculating person. She had no idea what the situation was like in the north, and she hadn't spent a penny of the money she had on the train during the past two days.

She also ate steamed buns brought from home. If they were too hard, she would boil some water and soak them in water before eating.

Fortunately, this is February and the weather has not yet warmed up.

If it were summer, her steamed buns would have gone bad long ago.

When they first set out, there were many people on the train and it was very hot, so she took off her cotton coat. She was wearing thin clothes to begin with, and soon she started coughing.

Because she didn’t eat well, Jiang Baige fell ill again after just two days.

There was no medicine to buy on the train, and she persisted in having a fever for two consecutive days. The two girls next to her didn't even notice that she was sick.

There were so many people on the bus, and no one knew when the little girl left. This was a good opportunity for Jiang Baige who came from the future.
