Although there are no street lights in the village, fortunately, the sky has not been polluted at this time, and the moon is hanging high. With the moonlight illuminating the houses, it is not impossible to reach out.

Xu Nannan touched the door out of the room and hid behind it. Seeing and hearing nothing, she couldn’t help but be nervous.

But thinking about the people lying in the room, she didn’t even think about being afraid, and hurriedly closed her eyes against the courtyard wall.

Soon, a picture of the Taobao website appeared in front of her.

Everything is still inside.

Xu Nannan resisted the excitement in her heart. She operated with consciousness, found a Taobao shop selling snacks, and bought two bags of custard biscuits in it.

When she opened her eyes again, there were two more bags of custard biscuits in her hand.

Xu Nannan swallowed and almost cry.

There was a sound from inside the wall, and she woke up immediately. She walked back to the hut from where she lived, and gently entered the door.

“Sister, what did you go out for?” Xu Xiaoman asked weakly, leaning on the Kang bed inside.

TL Note: Bedrooms in colder parts of China are dominated by raising platforms known as Kang. During the winter, the Kang provides a heated area that is warmed by hot air vents connected to adjacent stoves. The Kang and the stoves were the only sources of heat throughout the cold months.

“Nothing,” Xu Nannan closed the door quietly.

When there was no sound outside, she hurriedly opened the bag, poured the biscuits into the bowl in the dark, and whispered, “Xiaoman, we have something to eat. We will sleep when we are full.”

“There really is food?” Xu Xiaoman’s voice looked surprised. Xu Nannan hurriedly covered her mouth, “Be quiet, don’t let people know.”

Xu Xiaoman stopped saying a word immediately.

Xu Nannan just let go.

“Sister, where did you get the food? Did you go to the stove to get it? Don’t let the grandmother know or you’re going to get beaten again. “

“It’s okay, it’s not from home. It was given by a person from the city. Don’t ask about this. People won’t let you talk about it. ” Then she fed her the cake. Xu Xiaoman took a small bite and refused to eat it. “Sister, take it, you will have to go to work tomorrow.”

“I already have one.” Regardless of whether she can see it or not, Xu Nannan raised the tableware in her hand, “It is enough for both of us, eat quickly.”

She was a child after all. Hearing Xu Nannan said there was another one, she immediately opened her mouth and ate.

The bite is fluffy and soft, and there is a sweet taste when you eat it. “It’s delicious. Sister, it smells like eggs. When was the last time we ate eggs? It seems like my parents brought back 20 eggs when they returned to the country and divided half of the egg yolks. But this is better than egg yolks. It’s delicious.”

Xu Nannan laughed when she heard the words, “Then eat more, Xiaoman, I won’t let you get hungry in the future.”

The two sisters gobbled it up, and within a short while, they ate two bags of biscuits clean, and drank a little cold water, until their belly swelled.

This seemed to be the first time they had a full stomach, and Xu Xiaoman felt like she was dreaming. She kept asking Xu Nannan if she really had something to eat just now. After Xu Nannan held her hand and placed it on her belly, the child believed that she was really full.

“It’s great to eat.” Xu Xiaoman sighed with satisfaction, and then fell asleep in bed.

Xu Nannan laid beside her, unable to sleep for a long time.

She closed her eyes and checked her Taobao store again. She found that the thing was indeed inside her head, and she felt a surge of confidence.

Looking at the dark room, she couldn’t help but sigh.

“God, what you did is terribly good.”

On the third day of this unfamiliar village, Xu Nannan finally stopped scolding God.

Three days ago, Xu Nannan was also Xu Nannan, an entrepreneurial young woman in the 21st century. She wouldn’t really call it a business, she actually just opened a Taobao store which specializes in selling some vintage/ antique items like farm tools from the 1940s and 1950s, small household appliances or books from the 1960s and 1970s.

Although these things seem unattractive, with the rapid development of society, everyone’s life is better and nostalgia begins to develop. So Xu Nannan’s shop has business.

Despite relying on a small shop, Xu Nannan’s life was still very good. When nothing is wrong, she goes to the countryside or recycle bins to dump the used goods. Buying them at a low price and selling them at a high price, spending less every month can earn four to five thousand more.

But God doesn’t seem to see her being too good. Just when she went to the countryside to buy goods, she accidentally fell and knocked her head on the stone. She could remember everything going black and when she opened her eyes, she turned out to be lying on a bridge, surrounded by a group of people.

It took two days for her to finally accept her journey and become the reality of Xu Nannan, a 15-year-old girl in the 1960s.

Accepting and accepting, after knowing her situation, Xu Nannan almost jumped up and scolded her mother.

Not only did she go back to the 1960s, but also the devastating early 1960s, when the three-year famine had just passed and the whole country tightened their belts and went hungry. And she is now in a village slightly to the north. People in the city are not living well at this time, not to mention their poor villages.

Moreover, the original owner’s parents were not around yet, leaving only her and her nine-year-old sister Xu Xiaoman to live in the country with their grandparents and uncle’s family. Raising one more person at this time is more than just an extra pair of chopsticks. Not to mention raising two at once, their uncle and aunt are not willing to raise two children. So even though Xu Nannan was only fifteen years old, she still had to go to work with the adults in the family to earn work points. Because of chronic malnutrition and lack of food, his sister Xu Xiaoman soon fell ill.

Seeing that her sister was so sick, Xu Nannan was worried. In addition, she herself was hungry and had to work. Her body broke down and she collapsed while working in the field. Only then did Taobao store owner, Xu Nannan, replaced her.

Traveling and hunger almost broke her who had just become Xu Nannan. Until today, during the daytime, when she was resting halfway through her work, she sat leaning on a big tree and missed her Taobao shop. As a result, a picture of her Taobao shop suddenly appeared in her head.

At first, she thought it was her own illusion. When she thought of the Taobao shop again, and the picture appeared again, the image was very clear, and she believed that her own Taobao shop really followed her through. But it was inside of her, inside her head.

What made her even more excited was that she realized that she was able to manipulate the interface with her consciousness. When she saw that there was more than one thousand yuan in her account, she wondered if she bought something in her head, would it be synchronized with Taobao in the 21st century. She just didn’t know where to send things back then.

She tried to manipulate it and bought a bag of potato chips. It was with the thought that she was still connected to her previous life, and for some reason, she didn’t expect that she really had an extra bag of potato chips in her hand.

The first moment she saw the potato chips, she almost cried out with excitement. Looking around and seeing that no one noticed, she hurriedly got behind a bush, gobbled up the food, destroyed the package, and then returned to work with excitement.

When she went home at night, she only got a bowl of wild vegetables as usual. Xu Nannan didn’t have enough to eat, let alone Xu Xiaoman, her sister, who had been starving for so long and was malnourished.

So after everyone fell asleep, she dared to buy biscuits and fed Xu Xiaoman to her fill.

After all, although she was not Xu Nannan, nor did she voluntarily became Xu Nannan, she still took the body and was living through the life of the original owner. So she would inevitably have to assume the responsibility of the original owner and take charge.

Since the last obsession of the original owner’s heart has been Xu Xiaoman, she will try her best to take care of Xu Xiaoman, and although the girl, herself, was talking in stutters, she won’t let Xu Xiaoman go hungry.

As for the other relatives of the original owner… Xu Nannan felt that it was better for her to go to bed earlier.

After eating and drinking enough, Xu Nannan finally slept so well that she was almost late the next morning.

When she came to wake, she finds that second aunt Zhang Cuiqin was banging on the door outside.

“Why won’t you get up? I still want to eat and not work. Our family doesn’t support idlers.”

Xu Xiaoman nervously looked at Xu Nannan who was sitting up on the bed.

Xu Nannan patted her hand, and then quickly opened the door covered with patches of clothes. Outside the door, Zhang Cuiqin was about to slap the door, but the door suddenly opened. The swing startled her and she patted her heart and said, “You want to scare me to death.”

After all, Zhang Cuiqin is an adult. Although malnourished, she is better than Nannan sisters, so she is half a head taller than Xu Nannan. Now Xu Nannan looked at her and had to tilt her head slightly. But if this is the original owner, she couldn’t let alone raise her head, even if the second aunt says a few words, she can only lower her head and say nothing.

Seeing Xu Nannan looking up at her, Zhang Cuiqin was also a little surprised, and snorted, “What are you looking at? What’s wrong? The sun is already held up high so you can’t sleep. Are you waiting for the family to support you? You really think as yourself as the young lady of the landlord’s house? If you have the ability, go to the city to enjoy your luck.”

Xu Nannan buttoned her clothes, and said, “Look at what the second aunt said, am I not trying to make room for Brother Leizi and Sister Honghong. When they go to the city, Xiaoman and I can only go back to the village. Who are in the village? I didn’t know, my second aunt’s family can’t afford to raise a child, so my parents have to put aside their daughters in order to raise nephews and nieces.”

Xu Lei and Xu Hong are the sons and daughters of Xu Nannan’s second aunt. The two children are now living with Xu Nannan’s parents in the city.

TL NOTE: WTF

That’s right, it’s so weird.

Xu Nannan’s father worked in a unit in the city. According to the villagers, he was eating royal food. Logically, Xu Nannan and Xu Xiaoman should be able to live a good life with such capable parents. It’s a pity that the parents they had were strange.

Because Father Xu joined the army at a young age and was assigned to a unit after he returned, He has never taken care of his parents at home. Therefore, both of Xu Nannan’s uncles complained and complained several times in front of the old lady. The old lady also feels that she has been taking care of her two younger sons over the years. Now the eldest family is going to enjoy the blessing in the city, and it will be even more impossible to care about her in the future. So the old lady took the smart kids from the second and third family to the city, and she didn’t know how to make a fuss. Xu Nannan, who was only eight years old, and Xu Xiaoman, two years old, came back with the old woman. Six-year-old Xu Lei and nine-year-old Xu Hong, as well as seven-year-old Xu Meizi and five-year-old Xu Long from Sanshu’s family remained in the city.

TL Note: Again, WTF with that reason

This stay happened seven years ago. During the period Father Xu and Mother Xu gave birth to a younger sister named Xu Ling. Even Xu Nannan and Xu Xiaoman couldn’t be cared more.

Now Zhang Cuiqin’s words to let her go to the city to enjoy the blessings are actually somewhat ironic. Look, even your parents don’t want you anymore, do you dare to be lazy? If the original owner listened, she could only cry secretly aggrieved. But she is not the same Xu Nannan as she was before, so naturally she would not feel wronged. Instead, she spoke to criticize Zhang Cuiqin for not raising her children.

Zhang Cuiqin didn’t expect that her niece, who usually couldn’t make a fart with a stick, would even talk back, and her face was a little ugly. She jumped into the yard a few steps and yelled, “Mom, come and see your granddaughter. Ah. The wings are really hard. I’m still not satisfied that our Leizi and Honghong went to the city. Mom, this was your old man who was in charge at the beginning, and now the second girl is complaining about us. What can you do about it? “
