Winter 1975.

Beijing.

The first snow of winter covered the entire capital in silver.

Xia Songlan walked in the alley on her way home, her feet making a crunching sound on the snow.

As soon as she walked into the compound, she saw her neighbors Grandma Zhang, Grandma Liu and Grandpa Wang gathered at her doorstep, lying on the door and eavesdropping.

When Grandma Liu saw Xia Songlan coming back, she hurried over to greet her, waving to her as she ran.

Xia Song and Lan Zheng stood there in a daze, not moving.

Grandma Liu held Xia Songlan's hand and said, "Songlan, your grandparents are here again. This time your uncle, aunt, and cousin are here too. It must be something bad.

Your grandmother is dealing with it alone, so you better not go home yet."

Uncle Wang also came over and said, "Why don't you come to our house for a while? Xiao Hu is doing his homework at home."

Grandma Zhang, who was walking at the end, stuffed a piece of candy into her mouth and said, "Don't think about anything else. Eat the candy first to satisfy your taste buds."

Whenever Xia Songlan's grandparents and their family come over, nothing good will happen.

The neighbors have long been accustomed to it and cannot stand their actions.

Xia Songlan grew up in their care. She is smart, pretty, well-behaved and sensible.

She is just too obedient to her grandparents, and will agree to any unreasonable requests they make.

Now is a special period, and they are really afraid that Xia Songlan will jump into the fire pit herself.

If it were still the original Xia Songlan, she might have really jumped into the fire pit, but the current Xia Songlan is a medical school student who traveled from the future two years ago.

As soon as Xia Songlan traveled to this old sadistic novel, she already understood the entire story of the novel.

She is not a masochist. It is impossible for her to be as foolish as the original owner for the sake of family affection and jump into a trap even though she knows it is a trap.

Xia Songlan knew that her neighbors were concerned about her.

She took the candy from Grandma Zhang, peeled off the candy wrapper, and fed it to Grandma Zhang.

Grandma Zhang shook her head and dodged, "Child, the candy is for you to eat, eat it, eat it..."

Xia Songlan took advantage of the moment when Grandma Zhang was talking to stuff the candy into her mouth.

She blinked her big eyes playfully and asked, "Grandma Zhang, is the candy sweet?"

Grandma Zhang nodded happily, "Sweet, sweet, how can sugar not be sweet? I love sugar the most."

Xia Songlan put her arm around Grandma Zhang's shoulders and said, "I'll buy you some White Rabbit candy when I get my salary this month."

Then he turned around and said to Grandma Liu and Grandpa Wang, "How about buying Grandma Liu some five-spice roasted melon seeds and a bag of Daqianmen for Grandpa Wang?"

Grandma Liu laughed and said, "Girl, you just started working and haven't received your salary yet, but you're already planning how to spend it."

Uncle Wang was also laughing beside him, stroking his lips, "No need for Daqianmen, a pack of loose cigarettes will do."

Xia Songlan chatted with the three neighbors for a while, calmed them down, and ignored their attempts to stop her and opened the door of her house.

As soon as the door opened, the hot air hitting my face formed a sharp contrast with the tense atmosphere in the room.

Xia Songlan closed the door, turned around and walked to her grandmother, smiling and greeting her grandfather, grandmother, uncle, aunt, and cousin who were sitting opposite her.

Her sudden return happened to interrupt what her aunt Ye Mei was saying.

Ye Mei looked at the pretty Xia Songlan and continued with a smile, "Grandma, Songlan is back now, why don't we ask her opinion?"

My grandmother had been looking at the shameless guys opposite with disdain, and pretended to be deaf and dumb no matter what they said.

Unexpectedly, Ye Mei was even more shameless and directly let Xia Songlan make the decision.

She knew her granddaughter's temper and personality too well, and even regretted educating Xia Songlan so well.

She is so kind that she would rather suffer herself than refuse others, and she would never refuse the request of her father's relatives.

Grandma had a gloomy face and glared at Ye Mei fiercely.

Ye Mei's face turned red and white with embarrassment, but for the sake of her daughter, she still shamelessly walked up to Xia Songlan.

He held Xia Songlan's hand affectionately, "Songlan, we came here to tell you good news."

Xia Songlan pretended not to know, and asked with a smile, "Is there any happy event in Uncle's family?"

Ye Mei really likes Xia Songlan's soft and sticky personality, which can be completely manipulated by others.

She patted Xia Songlan's hands enthusiastically, "The street office notified your cousin to go to the countryside a few days ago.

Auntie thought this was a great opportunity to practice, so why not let it go to you, Songlan!"

Xia Songlan didn't say anything, but continued to look at Ye Mei with a smile, as if she didn't realize that Ye Mei was setting a trap for her.

Seeing that she was not angry, Ye Mei became bolder and continued, "The place we are going to go to this time is quite good, it is our hometown, Yongwang Village.

It’s not far, just over 100 kilometers.

Your grandfather and uncle are very familiar with that place, and we have many relatives there too.

When you get there, the folks there will take good care of you."

Grandma Xia Zhang also hurriedly added: "When your grandfather returned to his hometown, he arranged a marriage there.

He is the youngest son of the Party Secretary of our Yongwang Village, five years older than you.

I heard that his son graduated from high school and works at the commune's agricultural machinery station. He can drive a tractor and his salary is not low."

Ye Mei didn't expect that her grandmother Xia Zhang would mention the engagement so soon. She was afraid of angering Xia Songlan and glanced at Xia Zhang with disdain.

When Xia Zhang saw this, she immediately shut up and dared not say another word.

Xia Songlan saw all their little actions but still had a smile on her face.

Even when her grandmother secretly tugged at her clothes from behind, she pretended not to know.

Ye Mei continued to pull Xia Songlan intimately and said, "Since their family conditions are so good, you should get along well with that boy by then.

Juanjuan is also willing to give this marriage to you.

When you get married, your aunt will give you more boxes, hahaha..."

When Xia Songlan heard her finally mention the instigator Xia Juanjuan, her gaze drifted towards her cousin Xia Juanjuan.

Xia Juanjuan is an important female supporting role in the original book. The whole book begins with the heroine being forced to agree to go to the countryside for Xia Juanjuan.

Later, Xia Juanjuan became one of the important driving forces behind the tragic plot.

Just as Xia Songlan was looking at Xia Juanjuan, Xia Juanjuan was also staring at Xia Songlan.

In fact, from the moment Xia Songlan entered the door, Xia Juanjuan's sad eyes had been on her.

Before coming, Xia Juanjuan deliberately put on her best clothes, but when she met Xia Songlan, she was still completely outdone.

Although they both grew up in Beijing, when she was in front of Xia Songlan, she looked like a country girl who had just moved to the city, so unfashionable.

When they were in school, the two of them went to the same school. When their classmates knew about their relationship, they always liked to compare the two of them.

From the way I dress to the way I talk, from my appearance to my grades, I am always the one at the bottom.

From that time on, Xia Juanjuan disliked Xia Songlan very much.

Now, Xia Songlan not only works in the steel plant's medical room, but also has a fiancé who is an officer.

Why should I go to the countryside and marry a country man?

Xia Juanjuan cried and made a fuss at home, relying on the love of her grandparents, parents and her, and made an impolite request to exchange with Xia Songlan.

Xia Songlan met Xia Juanjuan's gaze with an embarrassed look on her face, "Such a good thing, how can I, as a sister, go on behalf of my sister?

We can’t let Juanjuan suffer any injustice just because grandpa and grandma and uncle and aunt prefer woad.”
