Nie Qingqing was the Nie family's most beautiful youngest daughter. She divorced and returned to her parents' home. Her older brother and sister-in-law were very good to her, taking great care of her. Nie Qingqing also had a clear understanding of her situation: no matter how good her brother and sister-in-law were, staying at her parents' home was not a long-term solution.

Nie Qingqing's mother said: "Your aunt says their machinery factory has a new factory manager parachuted in. He's a university graduate, sent abroad on a public scholarship, a key technical person at the main factory, transferred to the branch as the factory manager. He has a high salary, is capable, and you're pretty, so she wants you to meet him."

Nie Qingqing still had a clear understanding of her situation: "With such good conditions, an unmarried young girl could find him. Why would he want to meet me?"

Her mother said hesitantly: "Your aunt says he's a bit old and a bit ugly. When I asked her about it, she thought he was suitable for her but not for you, but he has a big house and a high salary."

Nie Qingqing made the decision: "Marrying a man is about having clothes to wear and food to eat. Let's meet him."

Song Zao started his education late. After his family was politically rehabilitated, he took the college entrance exam. After graduating from university, he entered the main factory specializing in technology. Two years later, he was sent abroad on a public scholarship, returned and was promoted to chief engineer, then transferred to become the branch factory manager. Not good at socializing, his personal life dragged on until he was thirty, and he couldn't delay it anymore.

The old uncle who took care of him said: "I asked the aunt who works in the factory cafeteria. She has a niece who just divorced, only twenty-six years old, and is undeniably beautiful. She handles both home and outside matters well. If you want to focus on technology and turn the branch factory from loss to profit, you need to settle your domestic life, so go meet her."

Song Zao said: "With such good conditions, a young bachelor could find her. Why would she want to meet me?"

His uncle: "She's too fierce, no man can stand her. I even asked her ex-husband, who said she would tie people up and whip them with leather whips in the middle of the night..."

Song Zao interrupted: "It's not a problem if we sleep in separate rooms after marriage. I'll go meet her."

At the blind date venue, Nie Qingqing saw a handsome man, tall and well-built, mature and steady, but didn't see her own supposedly old and ugly blind date partner.

At the blind date venue, Song Zao waited for a long time and only saw a young, beautiful, gentle, and kind girl, not the fierce woman he was supposed to be meeting.

'Seventies Rural Family' has been published, synopsis:

In 1976, Lin Jiangran's parents were taken away by the Red Guards. Their house was about to be confiscated, and she had nowhere to go. She wandered around the blind date market and discussed with the first suitable unmarried young man: "Sir, I'm also here for a blind date, would you like to meet me?"

The man across from her nodded and asked her: "I'm not a local. Before coming here today, I was transferred back to my hometown commune to be the security chief. I live in a rural tile house. You're a city girl, can you accept my situation?"

Rural? What's the countryside like? She had heard her family's maid mention it, saying that the neighbors were harsh, life was difficult, and people who came from the city didn't want to go back.

She was afraid the man across from her wouldn't like the truth, so she picked out the good things to praise: "The countryside is good! You have your own plot of land, can grow vegetables to eat, save money. There's plenty of land, and the air is fresh. I'm willing to go back with you!"

Lin Jiangran married from the city to the countryside. Her husband's hometown, Dahe Village, was quite nice. There were many fish and shrimp in the river, and many mountain fruits. It wasn't a big village, only about ninety households. The new village leader was capable, and although life was hard, the neighbors were harmonious and helped each other. In such a small village, she also paved an increasingly successful path for herself.

Content tags: Wealthy family, farmland literature, era literature. Nie Qingqing Song Zao. One-sentence introduction: The beautiful stepmother has arrived. Theme: Self-reliance and independence, mutual respect and love, working together to create the future.

"I suspect my husband isn't human at all."

In 1983, by the old槐樹 (Chinese Scholar Tree) at the village entrance, Jiang Hongguo finished saying this to the visiting police uncle. The old scholar tree was immediately struck by lightning, scaring Jiang Hongguo into running home, no longer daring to say her husband wasn't human.

In 1983, Gu Changzong returned from work, hoe on his shoulder. On the field path, the visiting police officer looked at the young man with strong muscles and teased, "Changzong, your wife says you're not human. In what way are you not human?"

Gu Changzong smiled, "Perhaps I'm too much at night."

Soon, the village aunties started joking, "Hongguo, we all know your man is strong, so stop showing off."

In 1983, Jiang Hongguo's cold, estranged educated youth husband, who had been separated from her for a year, began enthusiastically coming to her room every night. Jiang Hongguo couldn't fight him off, couldn't bite him. After some time, Jiang Hongguo gave up and asked, "Gu Changzong, are you human or not?"

What could Gu Changzong say? "I'm human, of course."

Jiang Zhen transmigrated from the apocalypse to the winter of 1949. Arriving in an unfamiliar world, she blended into a crowd of refugees and, in order to secure a legal identity, took the place of a deceased woman who bore a striking resemblance to her. In exchange for this favor, she took on the responsibility of caring for the woman’s two children. Along the way, she encountered a military unit suppressing bandits and helped treat several wounded soldiers.

Upon arriving at the Fancheng base, the deceased woman’s live-in husband sent divorce papers to sever ties. Jiang Zhen didn’t hesitate to sign them. To stay in Fancheng and provide for the two children she had taken in, she threw herself into the city’s matchmaking scene.

Gu Liancheng had died during a bandit-suppression campaign in the first year of liberation. After his death, his older brother’s two children met tragic fates—one became a murderer under the care of his ex-fiancée, the other lost her mind chasing love. One died, one went mad.

Gu Liancheng was reborn on the day of the bandit-suppression operation. Surviving this time, he returned to his unit. At his wedding, his fiancée threw a tantrum and refused to marry him. Remembering the tragic fate of his brother’s children, he decisively called off the marriage. But the kids still needed someone to raise them, so Gu Liancheng reluctantly ventured into the matchmaking market.

His conditions for a potential partner were:

— “I’ll cover all household expenses and give you thirty yuan a month, which you can spend freely.”

— “No children for the first ten years. If you’re still here after a decade, my entire salary will be yours to manage, and we can have as many kids as you want.”

— “I won’t easily file for divorce, but if you mistreat the children, I’m sorry—it’s over.”

Gu Liancheng was promptly cursed out by several women: “You may be handsome, but you’ve got no shame! Only a madwoman would agree to your terms!”

Meanwhile, in the next booth, Jiang Zhen laid out her own conditions:

— “No children for the first ten years. Once all our kids are adults, I might consider having one more—if you insist.”

— “Pay me thirty yuan a month as a salary. I’ll cover half the household expenses, but you’ll do half the chores.”

— “Don’t you dare abuse me or the kids—or I might just kill you.”

The men she met were furious: “You may be pretty, but you’ve got two ‘burdens’ in tow! Who’d agree to such outrageous demands? Only a man kicked in the head by a donkey!”

Overhearing Jiang Zhen’s terms, Gu Liancheng seized the opportunity. He approached her, saluted, and asked, “Comrade Jiang Zhen, care to sign a co-parenting agreement?”

Jiang Zhen nodded. They got their marriage certificate and began raising their kids together at the military base—a life far better than either of them had expected.

Jiang Xiaoci is the burden brought by her mother's remarriage. She is a reincarnation of a little flower demon and is best at seeing people's marriage.

Jiang Xiaoci said to Jiang Laoer: "Uncle, use your little aunt's betrothal gifts to marry a wife for you, how embarrassing, why don't you become a son-in-law and exchange some dowry for your little aunt."

Jiang Laoer was fair-skinned and tall, and his handsome face blushed, "I won't be a son-in-law."

After the college entrance examination was restored, Jiang Laoer was beaten into the university by his father-in-law's ruler.

Jiang Laoer: "Son-in-law is really fragrant."

Jiang Xiaoci said to her little aunt: "Aunt, none of the men in the village are as handsome as Zhiqing Yu, if you want to marry him, marry him."

Xiao aunt's pretty face flushed, and she shyly acquiesced.

After Yu Zhiqing's family was rehabilitated, she took her little aunt into the city.

Jiang Xiaoci's mouth was like opening, and the marriage she spoke of was a match made in heaven. Following her father and mother to the family compound, she soon saw her marriage, which was Han Jingyuan from across the street.

Han Jingyuan didn't talk to her. Thinking that he was her destined marriage, Jiang Xiaoci took the initiative to talk to him and also helped his single mother to form a good marriage.

Han Jingyuan talked to her. Jiang Xiaoci thought that the marriage would come naturally, and when they reached the age of marriage, they would get married soon.

Grandma's best friend brought her grandson over and joked that she wanted to get married to Jiang Xiaoci. Not long after, Jiang Xiaoci was surprised to find that she also had a marriage with this neighbor's brother.

Jiang Xiaoci was sorry, and said to Han Jingyuan: "Brother Han, I'm sorry, I'm not your future wife, I saw it wrong last time."

Han Jingyuan:? ? !!

...

In the family compound, Han Jingyuan looked at the second-married wife brought back by Uncle Jiang from his hometown. Originally, Uncle Jiang could be his father, but now Uncle Jiang has become Jiang Xiaoci's father. He was taciturn and didn't want to talk much.

But Jiang Xiaoci not only talked to him, but also became good friends with his mother, and also brought a stepdad back to his family, and his mother felt very happy.

Jiang Xiaoci also said that he was his future wife. Han Jingyuan convinced himself to accept the match that her opened mouth said.

Later, one day, Jiang Xiaoci suddenly ran over and said: "Brother Han, I'm sorry, I'm not your future wife, I saw it wrong last time."

Han Jingyuan: "..."
