Spring 1972
It was time to get off work at noon. Smoke rose from the chimneys of every household in Peach Blossom Village. The children's laughter and the adults' voices made the village seem particularly lively.
Only one family had two people yelling at each other. Everyone else was quiet.
"You! You were the one who insisted on marrying him. Now you want to take advantage of his illness and go back on your word. Su Jiaojiao, who taught you to do this?! " The man's angry roar resounded in the central room. There were three children in the family, but the other four adults did not dare to make a sound.
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Su Family was silently cooking in the kitchen, the second daughter-in-law was tending the fire, and the others were squatting in the courtyard.
Su Jiaojiao lowered her head. Her brain hadn't completely reacted yet, so she didn't say a word and just let them talk. She silently sorted out her thoughts, not worried at all that she would be beaten, because she knew that someone would help her soon.
Sure enough, after the man finished yelling, a sharp female voice immediately shouted back angrily, "What do you mean, old man? Song Qinghan is already like this, and you still want my daughter to marry him? If you want to marry him, then marry him. My daughter is smart, she knows that she can't marry this person! "
"Nonsense! You're the one who spoiled her! " The man became angrier. His face was full of traces of age, and the veins on his neck were bursting. He pointed at Su Jiaojiao's nose and shouted, "He didn't want you, but you insisted on going to him. You've made our Su Family a joke. Now he wants to marry you, but you don't want it. I'm telling you, this matter has been agreed upon half a year ago. Even if you want to change it, you can't. Even if you don't want to, I'll tie you up …"
Halfway through his words, the man was pushed and staggered two steps. His voice paused, and the woman's cry became louder and louder, "Su Zhengyang, you bastard! You're harming your daughter for the rest of her life! "
The woman hit him with her hands as she spoke, but the man gritted his teeth and did not let go, "A mouthful of saliva is a nail. She wanted it from the beginning, and she can't change it!"
"Su Zhengyang! Our daughter is still young and insensible. You're also insensible? Why don't you take a look at what kind of person that is … "The woman gritted her teeth in despair.
However, right at this moment, the girl who had her head lowered suddenly raised her head. Her expression was somewhat innocent as her clear eyes looked at the two people who were quarreling and said in a clear voice, "Marry, who said I won't marry!"
Sun Fang immediately let go of her husband's hand. She pulled her daughter and yelled, "Are you out of your mind? If you marry him when he's already like that, who's going to take care of you? That old woman from the Song Family isn't easy to get along with either. Previously, I was still thinking that you could join the army … "
Su Jiaojiao blinked her big eyes and nodded seriously. "Mom! I'll marry! I was the one who asked for this marriage, so it's only right for me to marry him. "
Her voice was soft, her eyes were clear, and her beautiful face was even more charming than before. There was no haze between her brows, which was very different from before.
Su Zhengyang and Sun Fang understood the meaning of her words and looked at their daughter's calm attitude. Both of them were stunned.
Just now, they were arguing because they wanted to decide whether to marry their daughter to Song Qinghan, who was injured and discharged from the army five days ago.
Su Jiaojiao was the one who asked for this marriage, but now Song Qinghan was seriously injured and discharged from the army. Even if his injury was healed, it was very likely that one of his legs would not be able to bear any weight in the future. In the world of the countryside where they relied on physical labor to earn work points, it was undoubtedly a disaster.
In particular, Song Qinghan had a pair of biased parents who always took his things to give to their second son. Song Qinghan was a pitiful person who was caught by Ephedra. He became an existence that all the young ladies avoided. If not for this, how could Su Jiaojiao take advantage of this?
If it was in the past, this would be an advantage, but now it was a business that was losing money. Sun Fang, who loved her daughter dearly, refused to do it no matter what. Su Zhengyang, who kept his promise, was determined not to break off the engagement. These days, the family had been making a fuss over this matter and had not stopped.
Su Zhengyang originally thought that his daughter, who was determined not to marry, would be the most difficult bone to chew. Who knew that she would actually agree first?
He was stunned. Looking at his daughter's beautiful face, his heart suddenly softened and he felt bitter. He, who had just shouted that his daughter must marry him, now had a lump in his throat and was unable to say anything.
Sun Fang was so angry that she hit him. "Look at you now! Our daughter can't eat in the future, and you'll take care of her for the rest of her life! You're the one who forced her to marry that useless man! "
Su Zhengyang took a deep breath, wiped his face, and said in a deep voice, "I'll take care of her! I'll take care of her for a lifetime! Anyway, the eldest and second son are all grown up, they don't need us to take care of them! "
After making a ruckus for half the afternoon, the two daughters-in-law of the Su family heard the final decision of the lawsuit. Suddenly, their faces turned ugly. They wanted to say something, but when they saw the ugly faces of their parents-in-law, they panicked and did not dare to speak. Only the heartless three children and two men did not have any special expressions.
Even Su Jiaojiao, who had just decided to marry, was absent-minded while eating. She reluctantly ate two pieces of sweet potatoes.
After lunch, everyone went to sleep because they still had to work in the fields in the afternoon.
Su Jiaojiao returned to her room. There was a dark floral bed, a small desk, a wardrobe, and the walls of the room were covered with paper. It was obvious that the owner of this room was very loved by her family.
But when she lay down and looked at the ceiling, all she saw was a dark beam with spider webs on it. Those with good eyesight could see the spiders on it. Su Jiaojiao's scalp suddenly went numb and she felt like crying.
In fact, she was not a person of this world. She came from the 2018 of the future, a family where she never worried about money.
She was a freelancer and had social phobia. She did not like to go out to play, but it happened to be the May Day holiday. Her best friend insisted that she go camping with them. She had no choice but to go.
However, Su Jiaojiao had a special characteristic, which was that she was unlucky. Whenever there was a big day, it would rain, thunder, and lightning. As a result, there was a heavy rainstorm in the middle of the night. They were busy looking for a place to hide from the rain. In the darkness, she did not know how she fell into a ditch.
When she woke up again, she was on the mountain in a hunter's trap. She shouted for a long time before someone noticed her and saved her. However, Su Jiaojiao immediately fainted.
In the end, when she woke up, she was already in this house. At that time, she was still at a loss, but strangely, someone else's life appeared in her mind.
It was a girl born in 1954. Her name was also Su Jiaojiao.
Su Jiaojiao was 18 years old this year. Not long after she was born, it was during the famine in the early 1960s. She had lived a hard life. In her memory, Su Jiaojiao looked almost exactly the same as her. If it wasn't for the fact that Su Jiaojiao saw the bite marks left by her niece on her thigh, she wouldn't have thought that she was actually wearing the same clothes.
Because of this, Su Jiaojiao suspected that she and the original Su Jiaojiao had swapped identities. She just did not know if she had become younger. After all, she was already 23 years old and the original Su Jiaojiao was only 18.
This was a village under a small city in the south. Peach Blossom Village, a construction team.
It was said that this place was originally just a piece of empty land. During the war, some refugees came here and lived there. Slowly, the village became a village. Therefore, the village occupied a large area and there were not many people. In total, there were only about 60 households.
The original Su Jiaojiao, father, Su Zhengyang, mother, Sun Fang, were the two people just now. She also had two brothers, Su Jianhua and Su Jianjun, who were several years older than her. They were already married and had children.
The original Su Jiaojiao grew up in an ordinary way. Apart from being a little spoiled at home and being spoiled by her parents, she was not different from other girls. She went to school honestly and was quite smart. Unfortunately, she did not return to university. After graduating from high school, she could not work as a worker because of her connections, so she went home.
Last summer, she took a fancy to a young man from the same village. His name was Song Qinghan. He was a soldier. Every month, he sent 20 yuan home. This allowed the Song Family to live better than most of the people in the village. It was enviable. So half a year ago, when Song Qinghan went home to visit his relatives and saw the villagers fishing in the pond, she deliberately pulled him into a pond in the village.
In this era, it was still very conservative. In addition, hooliganism was punishable by death. Not to mention, Song Qinghan was a soldier. So, the original Su Jiaojiao insisted on marrying him.
At this point, the original Su Jiaojiao's parents also doted on her. So, under the ridicule of the whole brigade, they gave up their old face to help her arrange this marriage. However, Song Qinghan was not willing. Although he was forced to get engaged, he used the excuse that he was busy in the army. Even though he did not come back last year for the New Year, he did not want to marry her.
Who knew that just a few days ago, Song Qinghan came back. But because he injured one of his legs, he was sent back to recuperate. The injury was so serious that it was said that he was discharged from the army.
The Song Family's parents were not good people. They did not care about their son at all. When they heard that his leg was injured and that he would not be able to work in the future, they immediately proposed to separate from the family. They were afraid that he would eat the family's food for free.
Seeing this, Su Jiaojiao's thoughts wandered. Did the Song Family's parents not think that Song Qinghan would be compensated for his injury?
But they probably didn't know.
In any case, Song Qinghan was separated from the family and lived in a shabby place. At this time, he deliberately brought up the marriage with the original Su Jiaojiao. In the original Su Jiaojiao's eyes, he wanted to find someone to eat rice for free, so she did not want to marry him.
She did not want to live a hard life in the past. In addition, in this half a year, the two of them did not have any feelings. The original Su Jiaojiao and an educated youth in the brigade had some interactions. It was a bit ambiguous.
The original Su Jiaojiao did something — — run away from the marriage.
It was also at this opportunity that Su Jiaojiao came over. But what made her feel strange was that in her memory, the original Su Jiaojiao clearly went to the town. She and the educated youth had agreed to meet in the town, but when Su Jiaojiao came over, she was in the opposite direction of the mountain.
The memory stopped here. Su Jiaojiao's mind was muddled at that time. Now, she could not understand anything.
She transmigrated here and woke up in the Su Family. She just woke up. Because the development was too strange, Su Jiaojiao was a bit confused. So, she went out to take a look. Who knew that at this time, the original Su Jiaojiao's father came back. When he saw that she was awake, he suddenly exploded and scolded her.
*****
Through the original Su Jiaojiao's name and the name of the village, Su Jiaojiao knew that this was a 70's love story. The female lead was an educated youth who went to the countryside in the autumn of 1972. The male lead was Song Qinghan.
From the perspective of the book, Song Qinghan's situation was introduced.
Su Jiaojiao read it before the camping trip. Later, she was too busy and did not read it. So, she only knew the first few tens of thousands of words of the plot.
Song Qinghan deliberately mentioned this marriage in order to take the opportunity to break off the engagement. Who knew that Su Zhengyang was too firm about this marriage. When he mentioned it, Su Zhengyang agreed without hesitation.
Later, he wanted to retreat in order to advance and break off the engagement, but he did not agree.
In addition, the original Su Jiaojiao failed to escape, which made Su Zhengyang furious. He simply tied her up and married her.
As a result, the original Su Jiaojiao took advantage of Song Qinghan's illness to put a green hat on his head. She was almost exposed. In order to not be judged as a hooligan, the pretty boy took her away.
The two eloped. Song Qinghan lived alone and raised his leg. Although in the eyes of outsiders, he lived a miserable life, Song Qinghan lived a very comfortable life in the beginning when the female lead accidentally interacted with him.
Of course, Su Jiaojiao only read up to this point. She did not know what happened after.
However, it was not important. After all, this was a modern novel. The protagonist would not do anything illegal. Moreover, Song Qinghan was a soldier. He was upright and would not retaliate.
As for escaping the marriage …
There was no need for the plot. Su Jiaojiao knew that after the original Su Jiaojiao and the educated youth ran away, they lived a miserable life. Maybe they were sold.
In addition, Su Jiaojiao was also spoiled. She could not carry anything. The original Su Jiaojiao left with her private savings. In the end, they probably exchanged lives and did not leave her money.
She herself … did not bring cash when she went out. She did not like to wear jewelry.
Now that she was poor, she could only accept her fate.
As for resisting the marriage, it was even more impossible. The original Su Jiaojiao made such a fuss. She did not know how many good and bad words she said, but her father did not agree to break the marriage. It was even more impossible for her.
So now, there was only one ending waiting for her, and that was to obediently get married.
In any case, Song Qinghan did not like her. The two of them could live peacefully for a few years. When the college entrance exam resumed, she would go to college. Su Jiaojiao remembered clearly that after entering college, the school would give her subsidies. The better her grades, the more subsidies she would receive. She would not have to worry about her life. She could study hard and find a good job after graduation.
It was a good thing. From the 1980s to the 1990s, gold was everywhere. There was a lack of almost everything, especially intellectuals. Even someone like her who did not seek to improve herself and only wanted to live a stable life could rely on knowledge to live a good life. Therefore, Su Jiaojiao did not worry about the future after 1977.
What worried her was that before 1977, the original Su Jiaojiao was pampered at home. At most, she could eat two more mouthfuls of rice than other girls. If she wanted to eat meat, she could only eat during festivals.
As a food lover, Su Jiaojiao almost cried when she thought of the bitter days she would have to live in the future.
Suddenly, a soft and cute voice of a five year old girl appeared in her mind. 【Ding! The matchmaker system has been activated. The host Su Jiaojiao has been successfully bound. May the host and her husband grow old together!】
Su Jiaojiao was so scared that she lost her expression. She said blankly, "What?!!"
