Getting Married on Chronology (Quick Wear) ~ Chapter 1
Arc 1. Little Widows in 1970s ~ chapter 1
Qiu Xiaochan opened her eyes and
saw the low adobe house and thatched roof. A pair of mother-in-law and
daughter-in-law was arguing in front of her.
The young woman raised her face
with a hand stick in her waist and said, "What's wrong with Li San? Isn't
it just a blind eye? If people have all beards and tails, they won't go to our
family to propose marriage. The little girl is a widow, and Kèfū[1]
reputation. Who in Shangyao Village would dare to marry her? What's the point
of being good-looking? If you can't carry it on your shoulders, you can't carry
it. If it's rotten at home, it's money-losing goods that nobody wants."
The old woman snorted and scolded,
"You slut who blinded with lard[2], don't think I don't know
what you think. You secretly collected the money from the Li family and want to
sell the girl! I tell you, in this family, as long as there is me, no one is
allowed to move Xiaochan, even if I don’t marry her forever, I will raise
her!"
The woman sneered, pointing to
the silent little sister who was standing aside and sneered, "You raise
her, what kind of support do you have? Don’t let us give you food every month.
In the end, it’s not our elder brother’s sister-in-law to raise her! Really
treat herself as the young woman of the landlord’s family. It’s a pity that you
won’t be a young woman in this life, you only deserve to marry for those who
lack arms and legs."
The old lady was furious when she
heard this, and she almost couldn't catch her breath when she got stuck in a
mouthful of phlegm. Qiu Xiaochan hurriedly went over and patted her on the
back, and waited for her to cough up the phlegm before taking her half of her
life.
During the quarrel between the
two, Qiu Xiaochan had received the original owner's memory from the system. The
village girl with the same name and surname as her was the first passerby
mentioned in the chronology.
The original owner was born
prematurely and frail, and her parents thought that she could not support her.
The landlord’s wife, Mrs. Zheng, took pity on her and asked the long-term worker in
the family to send goat milk to her every day. In this way, the dying baby who
had been raised for two months gradually recovered. Although she was more
delicate than a other baby of the same age, she survived.
She drank goat's milk. The
original owner's has jade white skin, also pink tender and lovely child since she
was a child, Mrs. Zheng was very affectionate for her and proposed to let the
three-year-old original owner and her youngest son be married.
The girl climbed up to the
landlord’s family relative, and the Qiu family was naturally willing. It
was a good marriage. Who knows that after the land reform in five years, the
fiancé was broken and his head was not saved, the original owner became in the ordinary
sense "Widowhood".
Because she has the name as daughter-in-law of the landlord’s family, although she did not have time to enter the house,
she was considered a husband and wife as long as she ordered a marriage
ceremony in the countryside. Over the past ten years, she has been talked about
because of this. She is beautiful, tender and soft like a flower bud in the
village. Many young men secretly liked her. Originally, her marriage was not so
difficult, but when the original owner was seventeen or eighteen years old,
rumors of overcoming came. The people who came to propose marriage were digging
melons and jujubes. Her mother Zhang Daying felt sorry for her daughter. She
would rather leave her at home than let her go. Therefore, the original owner
has not found a suitable in-law’s family since she turned 21 years old, and she
is already an older leftover girl in the countryside. .
According to the development of
the story, Zhang Daying will pass away a year later. As soon as she left, her
greedy sister-in-law gave her to an elderly widower in a neighboring village. He
was poor and ugly and had domestic violence. She had a miserable life. After
fighting hard, she feels that she has nothing to love and die. Her wish before
death is to have a good marriage in the next life.
Chen Guilian left after
complaining. The husband and wife had already separated and built another
house. They did not spend time with the mother and daughter. They said that
Zhang Daying disagreed and gave up, because Chen Guilian was so angry that she
would die. She received ten dollars from others. The Li family said that after
the good things were done, they would give another one hundred. Now that one
hundred dollars can't be gotten, even the ten dollars have to be paid back. Who
can be happy when the money in hand is exchanged?
Zhang Daying was tired from the
quarrel and sat down to rest. She took her daughter's hand and said sadly,
"Xiaochan, don't worry about Chen Guilian's stuff. Mom definitely can't
push you into the fire pit."
Zhang Daying doesn’t even mention
Li San’s name. The girl has already suffered a loss in marriage. She really
doesn’t want her daughter to suffer this crime again, but the old man is gone,
and her body is losing so badly each year.
She doesn't know if she can see her daughter marrying smoothly in the
rest of my life.
Qiu Xiaochan knows that Zhang
Daying really loves her daughter. Since she has accepted this body, she
naturally has to do her filial piety for the original owner.
Whether emotionally or selfishly,
Qiu Xiaochan hopes that Zhang Daying can live a few more years. The original
owner has a weak personality, and her mother has to worry about things outside
of the house. But Qiu Xiaochan is opinionated. If Zhang Daying follows her
lived, and the days to come will only be better.
At this time, the robot-like
system voice sounded in Qiu Xiaochan's mind, "You have good idea, if Qiu's
mother is not dead. Then, as long as you find someone who really loves you for
a lifetime, the task is over."
Qiu Xiaochan is not as optimistic
as the system, "It's easy to say, where I can find a good man in this
environment."
In a remote mountain village in
the 1970s, rural youths of with same age were already married a long time ago. The
delicate body can't do heavy work. These are all flaws. It is harder to marry a nun
than to be a nun.
As for the male protagonist in
the novel, he is from the old widower’s village. A deep, restrained,
hard-working and brave young man was taken by the female protagonist in the
book early, and she didn't even have the opportunity to compete with the female
protagonist.
The system reminded, "Did
you forget the detector? The detector can detect the lord of air luck within
ten miles.”
Any man who can be selected as
the lord of air luck is the best choice in all aspects, such like in the novels.
Although the male protagonist in novel is just an ordinary young man from a
mountain village, he will seize the opportunity of reform and opening up to
become the first group people who become rich.
Qiu Xiaochan really didn't think
of it. The main reason was that all she had done before was killing monsters.
She had never used this feature before. She couldn't help but be happy and
said, "Really? That's great, it's much easier to complete the task if you
have a target mission.”
After confirming the master of
luck, she can completely convert the task into a strategy hero, rather than
choosing people aimlessly.
"It costs 80,000 points to
purchase this item."
Qiu Xiaochan is speechless,
"I only get 600,000 points for a task."
System points can be used to
purchase props and space items, and can also be cashed in the real world. Five
points are exchanged as one renminbi and 80,000 points is a lot of money.
She had just mentioned a note
before coming, and now there are hundreds of thousands of points left in the
system, which belonged to the planned economy in the 1970s, and these points were
reserved for exchange items.
The system narrated in his flat
tone, "After all, is it a useful tool?"
The tool purchased by the
traverser can be used in an infinite loop, which means that if Qiu Xiaochan
buys a detector in this task, there is no need for future tasks to spend more
points to buy, it's totally worth the money.
Qiu Xiaochan let out a long sigh.
It is indeed more important to find the lord of luck now than to fill your
stomach. If you can’t marry, you have to live as this until the original lord’s
life ends. Not only is time wasted, she even has a dime commission if the
mission fails. She can't catch it.
Just when the system thought she
didn’t want to redeem, Qiu Xiaochan turned to bargain, "Can you get a
discount or something? You know, my balance is running out. I have to let me hold
on to the end of the task?
"The price is clearly marked,
and you are a good old customer. I shouldn’t need to explain this rule.”
Qiu Xiaochan said helplessly,
“Okay, I’ll exchange it.”
As soon as the voice fell, the
system balance was reduced by 80,000 points, and in the space, there is an
additional item like a telescope, which is the sounding instrument called by
the system.
After obtaining the props, Qiu
Xiaochan didn’t use it immediately. She was going to fill her stomach first.
Now the food is difficult. The original owner only drank a bowl of sweet potato
porridge with clear soup and water in the morning. The time she wear is just
the meal time, Qiu Xiochan’s stomatch is already grunting. Before, she just quarreled
with Chen Guilian, and the family’s food had not been cooked yet.
"Mom, it's not urgent to get
married. If you are not in good health, you should rest first. I will cook the
food first."
Zhang Daying sighed and nodded,
"Go, there is not much food at home, I don't know. Will your sister-in-law
cut off our food after this quarrel?"
She is in poor health, and her
daughter is weak and can't do heavy work. The work points earned by the two are
barely enough.
At the time of the separation, it
was agreed that the son and daughter-in-law would provide ten catties of food a
month, but Chen Guilian had the final say whether to give it or not, usually only
once in two or three months.
"Mom, don't think about the
unpleasant things, let's take a step by step, I am so old, I will take care of
you."
After calming Zhang Daying, Qiu
Xiaochan entered the kitchen, and in the rice tank indeed has no rice. But there
are something else, there are some sweet potato in the corner.
According to the original owner’s memory, she stuffed a small pot of sweet
potato, stewed a bowl of egg custard, and picked vegetables from the yard
to make vegetarian stir-fried vegetables and pumpkin beans.
Qiu Xiaochan’s cooking skills are
good. After all, she has been honed in the mission. She is short of oil and
salt at home. She secretly exchanged some points with her points. So when she
put the cooked food on the table, Zhang Daying was surprised and after tasted one
bite is even more surprising.
"Xiao Chan, your meal tastes
really good today, and the craftsmanship has improved."
Zhang Daying would never think
about change the core of her daughter, even thinking about the change of seasoning.
Qiu Xiaochan smiled confidently,
"Yeah, I'm so old, I must make progress, Mom, or let me cook the food at
home in the future."
She was afraid that Zhang Daying
would see the clues, so she didn't dare to blatantly change the ingredients that
are not available at home, she can only work hard on the seasonings and have
tried to make them as light as possible. However, there is still a big
difference between oily dishes and non-oily dishes. Fortunately, the original
owner does not cook much at home.
Zhang Daying’s body is not good,
the taste and bitterness are degraded, and she can barely get past it, but Qiu
Xiaochan is a person who values appetite, so she will definitely not be able
to eat food without oil and water every day. The easiest way is to take over
the kitchen and cook every meal. Zhang Daying would not remember what she had, so she has the final say.
After the meal, Qiu Xiaochan
washed the dishes and went back to the house to rest, taking advantage of this
quiet moment to study the detector.
As soon as the mind moved, a
series of data appeared on the screen of the system, which was finally frozen
in a photo. The man in the photo had handsome facial features and determined
eyes, and his personal profile was written below the picture.
Gu Wenqian, a citizen from the
capital, 25 years old, a National Tsinghua University student, was classified
as a counter-revolutionary family member because his father had an overseas
relationship, and his mother was also a capitalist lady, the standard
"Black Five", he was transferred to Shangyao Village four years ago, and live
in the cowshed at the entrance of the village.
Obviously they are in the same
village, but Gu Wenqian is not in the memory of the original owner. No wonder,
after all, the original owner is also a poor person. She is quite marginalized
in the village. On weekdays, she needs to work on 20 catties of pig grass for
three work point. Therefore, she has never faced Gu Wenqian in the past four
years.
