Yunxia's Quick Transmigration Journey
Chapter 8 A Village Girl in the 1970s
Brother Yun only had a brief visit to his parents, wife, and children when he returned to his hometown this time before driving to see his sister. He intended to surprise her, but he never expected that his sister would be so attuned to his thoughts and waiting for him at the door.
Little did Brother Yun know that in the original timeline, he had just been carried home to recuperate from his injuries, which was why Yun Xia had been waiting for her brother's return for the past few days.
Looking at his slightly chubby younger sister, Brother Yun's words, "Little sister, you've lost weight," which were stuck in his throat, turned into "Little sister, you've gained weight."
Yunxia stormed off in a huff. She hadn't gained any weight; it was just an inflated figure from her postpartum period.
Li Yuxuan followed Yun Xia around like a puppy, serving her tea and water, and checking on the sleeping babies every now and then, which made Brother Yun's teeth ache.
Yunxia prepared the dried goods she had recently bought, put them in her brother's car, and watched him leave once again.
Being a military spouse is really tough. When my sister-in-law gave birth, my brother couldn't be by her side. The baby is still young, so I guess she'll have to wait until the child is a bit older before she goes to join her brother at his military post. My brother has earned a lot of merit over the years and is now eligible to bring his family to live with him.
"Don't worry, big brother is fine." After seeing her brother off, Yun Xia saw Li Yuxuan looking at her with a smile.
"Mmm," Yun Xia smiled with relief. It's wonderful that the whole family is safe and sound, and her little nephew has arrived in this world safely.
Even someone as insignificant as her, a background character, has found both family and love.
She is no longer the somewhat self-conscious girl from the original text, described as "the younger sister of one of the young men from Willow Village who secretly admired Bai Xuemei, always looking at Bai Xuemei and her sister with envious eyes, after all, they were so beautiful and dazzling, unlike the village girls with their sallow skin, but she knew that ordinary people like them were not worthy of being compared with those from the city."
In the original storyline, Yunxia married a young man surnamed Yun from the village, who, coincidentally, was also one of the female lead's admirers. They met through a blind date, and having no better options, they made do with a life of unsatisfaction and misery.
After Yunxia arrived, she found a partner on her own, so there was no need for arranged marriages between people of similar social standing, and she didn't meet the young man surnamed Yun from the original owner's arranged marriage.
Most of the villagers are surnamed Yun. The Yun in the male protagonist's name is actually unrelated to the Yun in her family. The male protagonist's grandfather came here as a refugee from famine. Among the surrounding villages, their village had the most people with the surname Yun. So the male protagonist's grandfather settled in this village, claiming that all people with the surname Yun in the world share the same ancestor.
The old man was quite wise; when they first came to the village, the people with the surname Yun in the village did indeed help them a lot. After the older generation passed away one by one, most of the younger generation thought that these people with the surname Yun in the village were all natives.
Time flew by and it was 1977, the year the college entrance examination was reinstated. Over the years, Yunxia had been familiarizing herself with the history and geography of this fictional world, and she had also memorized the politics by heart, for fear of making any selective mistakes.
When Yunxia was studying, she would ask Li Yuxuan questions whenever she had a problem. In order to answer his wife's questions, Li Yuxuan put in the same effort he had when he was in school, striving to answer every question his wife asked fluently.
Seeing Yunxia's increasingly admiring gaze, Li Yuxuan felt that he loved learning, and learning loved him.
Yunxia felt that her IQ was really too low. After studying for so many years, she still had many questions to ask Li Yuxuan. Although her memory was better than before, her IQ was still not enough.
"Yu Xuan, let's register for the college entrance exam together. You're so smart, you'll definitely pass," Yun Xia said.
Li Yuxuan looked on incredulously, "Xiaxia, are we going to reinstate the college entrance examination?"
Yunxia affirmed, "Yes, yes, there are already some hints in the newspapers, and I guess the loudspeaker will announce it in a few days."
“Okay, Xiaxia, whatever you want to do, I’ll do it with you. During the exams, Mom can help take care of the child first, and when we go to university, we’ll ask a relative to help us look after the child,” Li Yuxuan said.
"A good partner will not only not hinder your progress, but will also accompany you on your journey to become a better version of yourself." Yun Xia thought happily, giving herself a thumbs up for her good judgment.
Although she hadn't lived in the village for years, Yunxia still knew quite a bit of the gossip, thanks to her wonderful second sister-in-law, Qingqing. From the first time she met her sister-in-law, Yunxia had a little opportunity to develop her gossip talent, and she fell in love with eating melons. Not only did she eat them herself, but she also got the whole Yun family, young and old, involved.
Over the years, my second sister-in-law has brought her and Li Yuxuan a lot of melons from the village. When my second sister-in-law talks about the things in the village, she speaks with great enthusiasm and intonation, and Yunxia listens with such fervor that she wants to shake her sister-in-law's arm and make her talk faster and not stop.
Li Yuxuan occasionally leaned in to listen, not because he was gossipy, but because Yun Xia's expressions were so rich and intriguing. His curiosity stemmed purely from a desire to understand his wife's unusual behavior, not from a desire to gossip.
Yunxia had no idea that every time he eavesdropped, she would look at him with a "we're kindred spirits, I understand~ I understand, men have the right to gossip too" kind of look. It made him inexplicably guilty, always feeling that his wife didn't think much of him.
From her second sister-in-law, Yunxia learned that the male and female protagonists had fallen in love and had already registered their marriage.
The second male lead and the second female lead have been seen together, and due to the female lead's constant efforts, their reputations have been ruined.
No matter what, it's someone else's life. Yun Xia doesn't dwell on it. As long as the male and female leads don't bother her, everything will be fine.
Because Yunxia and Li Yuxuan had been studying diligently all these years, their grades were both excellent. They were both admitted to Kyoto University, and their acceptance letters were delivered to their small courtyard in the county town. The two quietly embraced, sharing their joy.
Overwhelmed with excitement, Yunxia had several more nights of backache and soreness.
Li Yuxuan is the one who usually puts the three kids to bed at night. He loves his wife dearly, and he rushes off to take care of the children at the slightest sound. Even so, Li Yuxuan isn't exhausted yet; Yunxia can only praise his strong back.
Two years ago, when the children were six months old, Li Yuxuan had just finished washing Yunxia, whose fingers were so tired from all the fuss he'd been with her, when the babies woke up one after another, needing to be fed and have their diapers changed. After taking care of the older one, he immediately went to look after the younger one. Yunxia mumbled sleepily, "Aren't you tired? You're so restless every night."
"I'll never tire of taking care of you, and I'm happy to do it. Xiaxia, go to sleep, sweetie," he patted her blanket. Li Yuxuan smiled broadly, but Yunxia turned her back to him and went to sleep. From then on, Yunxia never asked him if he was tired again.
According to her second sister-in-law, the female lead also got into Kyoto University, drawing admiring and envious glances from the villagers. Yun Xia chose to quietly observe. She wasn't the female lead, so there was no need for the whole village to be humiliated, nor did any awful characters bother her. Wicked characters were a standard feature of female leads, and Yun Xia wasn't worthy of them; she refused. However, she might become one of those awful characters in the future, which was quite frightening to think about.
After receiving the acceptance letter, Yunxia told her parents and in-laws about getting into university, including the city where the university was located. As for the address, she would call and let them know once she had found a place to stay in the capital.
Time quickly arrived, and it was time for Yunxia to depart for Kyoto. Yunxia had already packed her luggage. As for the children, they were already two and a half years old, and Yunxia's mother-in-law planned to help take care of them for a while. Yunxia intended to find a suitable auntie to help out once she arrived. Both of them were in school, so they needed someone to look after the children.
As for her major, Yunxia chose Clinical Medicine. She heard the school also had renowned TCM doctors, and Yunxia planned to audit as many classes as possible, pursuing both approaches simultaneously. Actually, she was most interested in TCM, but unfortunately, it wasn't currently a major offered in this fictional world.
I chose to study medicine mainly because I was afraid that if I went to ancient times, I might catch a cold and die. Everything was just a means of survival.
Before leaving, Yunxia chose a time when Li Yuxuan was not at home and her mother-in-law was helping to take care of the children. Under the pretext of going back to her parents' home to say goodbye, she had the system select a safe route and then had the system monitor her going to the deep mountains to collect a batch of ginseng.
Once the system had energy, it stopped hibernating and became more enthusiastic about ginseng than about its host, her.
In fact, Yunxia's life has been getting better and better in the past two years, from "just surviving" to "making a living," and the world energy she receives from the system each year has increased from 12 to 15. The system program is set so that the host receives 10 points each year, and the rest belong to the system.
As for the energy required to traverse worlds, the system receives 10 energy points from each new world it enters, which exactly replenishes the energy consumed when traversing the world's barriers. If there is no surplus energy, the system will immediately enter a dormant state after traversing the world.
In fact, spending points is the most direct and effective way for the system to earn energy. Binding the system space to the system's paid catalog requires 100 points, and Yunxia needs to save for 10 years. In reality, only 30 points of system energy are consumed, and the remaining 70 points are the system's little treasury.
The system saves 2 points per year. If Yunxia lives for another 50 years, she will only have 100 points. Yunxia will spend all her points in the shop, which means that Yunxia's points are all earned by the system. Yunxia is the system's employee, earning points for the boss and then spending those points back on the boss. Her salary is the goods in the shop.
Of course, Yunxia was unaware of these internal rules, and even if she knew, they wouldn't change anything. Was she supposed to simply hoard her points to prevent the system from earning them? That wouldn't benefit her at all. As for bargaining, the store's pricing was set by the system developers, and the system itself could only follow the program.
The energy required to scan ginseng is negligible, so the system is naturally happy to oblige. It consumes no energy in standby mode, and only 10 units are needed to cross the world barrier. In just 50 years, no matter how much it scans and struggles in this world, the energy it consumes will not exceed 2 units.
Yunxia sold the two ginseng roots, both hundreds of years old, to a medicinal herb merchant she had been dealing with for years. This person was also from Kyoto.
In those years, the situation was unstable, and this person came to his relatives' place to seek peace and quiet. He met Yunxia by chance and once bought a century-old ginseng from Yunxia at twice the price of the purchasing station.
