Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

In the spring of 1976, at the educated youth point in Xishui Village.

Lin Qingyan, a sent-down youth, jumped into the river and developed a high fever after being rescued.

After burning for several days, the whole village knew that Lin Zhiqing would not survive.

"Have you heard that Lin Zhiqing may not survive?"

"What's going on? Why don't I know?

"Ah? You don't know about this yet?"

"I know, I know. Lin Zhiqing jumped into the river because her family asked her to send food rations back home to her brother."

"Why is what I heard different from what you heard? I heard that Lin Zhiqing and Wang Cheng Zhiqing were dating, but Wang Cheng Zhiqing is now going to marry Cuihua from the team leader's family."

"When Cuihua fell into the river, she was rescued by the educated youth Wang Cheng. She became that person... what person?"

"Artificial respiration, my mother, come and do it, mouth to mouth, it's against morality."

"Yes, yes, many people in our village saw it."

"No wonder I heard Cuihua is going to marry Wang Zhiqing."

"That's right. After something like this, how can they not get married? Even a drop of spit can drown them."

"It's just a pity for Lin Zhiqing, such a weak little girl."

Gossip may be the only fun in the 1970s in this era without the Internet.

Xishui Village is an ordinary small mountain village in the northeast. At the westernmost end of the village, there was originally the home of a large landlord. It was a very magnificent three-story mansion, but after several destructions, it has become the ruins it is today.

The village sent people to clean up the place a bit, and finally created a few houses that were barely habitable, which were used to accommodate batches of educated youth who went to the countryside.

At this moment, a series of heart-wrenching coughs suddenly came from the small house next door.

The educated youth who were sitting around the table in the yard eating stopped eating when they heard the cough. They glanced at the man sitting next to them, and seeing that he didn't seem to hear anything, they continued eating without saying a word.

It is the busy farming season now, the weather is very hot, and everyone is exhausted after a day's work. They all want to eat quickly and lie down to rest.

How could they care about other people's affairs? Moreover, due to the busy farming season, there was rarely any meat on the table, such as eggs and minced meat.

Although the dish looks like a lot, when shared among ten people, each person only gets a few chopsticks of food. If you want more oil and water, you have to fight for it.

Everyone ate voraciously, fearing that there might be no more food if they stopped.

As for the corn porridge and sweet potatoes that we eat every day, each person has a portion, so there is no need to fight over them.

After finishing the meal, Wang Cheng stood up and put a sweet potato on the two pieces of turnips that were previously in the bowl.

He filled another half bowl of corn porridge and carried it into the room next to him where coughing was heard.

"She behaves like a young lady, but she lives like a maid." The two female educated youth who were cleaning up the mess on the table said in a neither loud nor low voice.

"That's because she was born well. She has good parents who can send her things from time to time."

"No matter how good your parents are, they still have to go to the countryside."

“Although they went to the countryside, they didn’t do much work.”

"Bah, she still behaves like this even after going to the countryside. She doesn't do any work and doesn't get enough food. If it weren't for Wang Cheng protecting her."

"Ah! These days are almost over."

"Humph! It's more than the end. How can the captain's daughter let her man serve other women?

She will have a good life in the future, and it would be generous of him to not care about the past, but will he still take care of her after marriage? That is impossible."

Lin Qingyan woke up to this not-too-loud sound. She was still half-groggy and hadn't fully woken up when the door was opened.

Wang Cheng walked into the room holding the bowl and looked at the pale-faced girl lying on the kang. Her frail body and beautiful face made him somewhat fascinated.

She was one of the many girls who followed him in the compound, but only she followed him to the countryside later. When he saw her rushing over, exhausted, he was a little touched.

But that little bit of emotion had almost disappeared during the more than two years in the countryside, and reason finally prevailed.

He placed two bowls beside the kang and said to Lin Qingyan, "Today's dishes are very good, with meat and eggs. You should eat some."

Lin Qingyan's mind was not fully clear at this time. Looking at the person in front of her mouth opening and closing, her head hurt a little.

This little pain made her already confused mind even more confused. Was she dead? Would the judge in the underworld ask her to recall her life?

Wang Cheng looked at the woman in front of him with a dazed look on her face, staring at him without saying a word, and felt a little guilty and scared.

Explained: "Don't take to heart what outsiders say."

"I saved Comrade Li Cuihua. The situation was very critical at the time. I could only quickly carry her to shore and perform artificial respiration on her in public, but these were all emergency measures."

As Wang Cheng spoke, he stared at the woman on the kang and saw that her expression changed when she heard the calls for help and artificial respiration.

He continued, "But you should never, ever, cause trouble for Comrade Cuihua, and end up slipping and falling into the river during the struggle."

"Did I slip and fall into the river?" Lin Qingyan's head was buzzing and she asked subconsciously before she understood the situation.

"Many people in the village saw it. They saw that you accidentally fell into the river, and Comrade Cuihua saved you."

Wang Cheng looked at Lin Qingyan who looked dazed and continued, "Your health was not good to begin with, and it has become even worse after falling into the water.

You need to be supported for a long time. In the countryside, everything you do depends on work points. If you can't work, it will be difficult to survive. For you, I have to marry Comrade Li Cuihua, at least so that you can have something to eat."

Lin Qingyan coughed violently. The heat in her chest caused her to cough up a little blood, which also made her more sober.

She raised her right hand with great effort and gently pinched her left hand.

It hurts, it hurts. This is not a dream, nor is it the God of Hell asking her to recall her life.

She was reborn in the second year of working as an educated youth in the countryside, a year in which she almost lost her life.

This year, my childhood sweetheart married someone else.

It was also in this year that her family arranged for her to return to the city due to illness.

1976 years!

Wang Cheng looked at Lin Qingyan who was silent again, and said angrily: "Don't be ungrateful, and don't think about causing trouble for Comrade Cuihua. What happened between us has nothing to do with her."

"I will treat you as my sister from now on. Comrade Cuihua and I will take care of you together."

Lin Qingyan felt a little annoyed when she heard the same words as in her previous life.

The story of the previous life was repeating itself, and these words kept piercing her heart in the few years that followed.

After finally learning that the college entrance examination had been resumed, Wang Cheng did not get into university. Instead, he used his family connections to return to the city and work in a factory. Of course, he did not bring back the wife he had married in the countryside, and he let it go.

Such a cold-hearted person is not worth her worrying about, not worth it!

“Wang Cheng, you understand, you are not my brother, and I am not your sister. You don’t have to make so many excuses for what you want to do. It’s disgusting.

We have no relationship at all, not before and not after, I hope you remember that."

After Lin Qingyan was fully awake, she didn't want to get entangled with such a person anymore, nor did she want to waste her breath on him.

Lin Qingyan looked up at him. He was of medium height and good-looking. He was one of the most prominent figures in the textile factory. He was gentle, polite and modest in front of others, which made him very popular with girls.

She was just one of many girls, but they were all very smart, unlike her who had to chase after others to go to the countryside as educated youth.

"Qingyan, don't be stubborn. I know you have a problem with Comrade Cuihua, but I must marry Comrade Cuihua." Wang Cheng's words interrupted Lin Qingyan's memories.

"Who you marry has nothing to do with me."

"Qingyan, stop making trouble and eat first. We'll talk when you're better."

The years that Lin Qingyan spent lying in bed due to illness in her previous life had allowed her to face anything calmly, let alone this person who had nothing to do with her. It was not worth it for her to be sad because of such a cold-hearted person.

"Get lost, I don't have time to mess with you, please get out, and don't enter a lesbian's room casually in the future!"

She looked at the person in front of her expressionlessly, but her mind was thinking about the time when she accidentally fell into the river. Was she so careless?
