As soon as it was dawn, Lin's mother knocked on Lin Dai's door in a hurry. Lin Dai had to quickly leave the room and made her bed a few times to pretend that she had slept.

Outside the door, Lin's mother urged anxiously: "Get up quickly, otherwise it will be too late and you will miss the tractor into the city."

When Brother Lin came to the village entrance carrying a basket full of things and a bucket, and leading Lin Dai, who was carrying her luggage, they found that there was no one around and it was very quiet all around. It was obvious that they had arrived too early.

Sure enough, no matter what time it is, my mother's view of time is the same.

The time came. As soon as she got on the bumpy tractor, Lin Dai started to wonder: It has been a long time since I last rode this kind of tractor, especially on a dirt road in the countryside.

There are so many people in the car that she feels a little uncomfortable now.

The elder brother noticed that the younger sister was uncomfortable and consoled her: "Little sister, you haven't ridden a tractor for a long time, so your body is not used to it? Hang in there, the tractor will soon reach the city."

Lin Dai nodded, recalling the time when the original owner rode a tractor to the city. Because she was fat and took up a lot of space, she sat very steadily on the tractor and could even take a nap on the road.

Lin Dai sighed silently. She had originally wanted to come alone and find her own way to the city, but she had to bring too many things and her mother was worried about her going alone, so she had to ask her eldest brother to take her there.

Lin Dai silently closed her eyes and pretended to sleep while practicing.

Several women on the tractor would steal glances at her from time to time and whisper constantly. Lin Dai could clearly hear them talking about her and mocking her for being able to sleep anywhere.

Lin Dai suddenly opened her eyes and gave them a cold look, scaring them so much that they broke out in cold sweats. They quickly shut their mouths and muttered to themselves: When did this girl's eyes become so scary?

Because the road was difficult to travel on at that time, we were swaying all the way and it took us an hour and a half to reach the county town. Everyone got off the bus, did what they had to do, and agreed on when to go back.

Lin Dai looked at the county town at that time. Low buildings were intertwined with blue bricks and black tiles. The cries of hawkers on both sides of the street could be heard one after another, and the air was filled with the aroma of food.

Pedestrians are dressed simply, and from time to time people in fashionable clothes pass by. Bicycles shuttle among them, each busy with their own business.

"Little sister, what are you looking at? Let's go."

"okay."

Lin Dai followed her eldest brother to an old building. Her eldest brother told her to be polite and call for help after going upstairs, as he was worried that she would still be indifferent to others as before.

"I know, you're still not at ease with me now."

Lin Dai looked up at the three-story building. Lin Dai's aunt lived on the third floor. Her aunt's husband's surname was Ge, and her uncle was Ge Zhanguo, an elementary school teacher.

Their current house is a state-allocated two-bedroom, one-living room, one-kitchen apartment. Because my uncle's father is an old middle school teacher, the house happens to have an attic on the third floor, which is just enough space for the family of five: Mr. and Mrs. Ge, my uncle, my aunt, and a cousin.

Every time Lin Dai came, the atmosphere in the family was not very good. If she was a diligent and polite person, it would be fine, but the key is that she is lazy and gluttonous. No family would welcome such a person. Fortunately, the teacher is well-educated.

As for why a city man would marry a country woman, it was because Ge Zhanguo came to their village as an educated youth and met Lin Dai's aunt. After returning to the city, the two returned together.

Lin Dai couldn't help but admire her uncle for not abandoning his wife in the countryside after returning to the city.

"Let's go, why are you in a daze again, little sister."

"Okay, here we come."

The two of them came to the door of the third floor and knocked on it. Mother Ge inside shouted, "Who is it?"

When he opened the door, his originally gentle face changed color instantly. It was him, so that fat girl must be following him.

"It's Daqiang!"

"Hello, Auntie. I'm here to bother you again with my sister."

As he said this, he moved away.

Mother Ge looked behind him with disdain and was stunned for a moment. Who is this?

"Daqiang, didn't you say you brought your sister here? This is..." Ge's mother pointed at the woman and asked.

Without waiting for Lin Daqiang to answer, Lin Dai took the initiative to speak: "Hello, auntie, I am Lin Dai."

A trace of suspicion and shock flashed in Ge's mother's eyes. She looked at the girl in front of her with wide eyes. The chubby and round girl in her memory had changed a lot in just half a year. She became so graceful and elegant, and her temperament was very different from her previous image.

"You are that fat girl? How is that possible?" Ge's mother couldn't believe it.

"Aunt, it's true. My younger sister has been exercising at home and has lost weight. You still don't believe me?" Lin Daqiang assured.

"Oh, then you guys come in first."

Lin Dai said as she entered: "Aunt, I am here to bother you again. My brother and I brought some game from the countryside. Please don't mind."

Mother Ge looked at her in surprise. This girl has lost weight and her personality has changed?

"Yes, aunt, just put them down. There are still alive fish in the bucket, as well as pheasants, wild ducks, wild duck eggs, and some vegetables grown at home." Lin Daqiang put down the things in his hands and took them out one by one.

Mother Ge stared at the things on the ground in amazement. She actually brought so many good things this time. These were all good things in the city.

"Where did it come from?" I couldn't help but ask.

"I got it from the mountain. My little sister has been bothering me for the past few days. I will come and take her home after I finish my work at home."

Mother Ge responded repeatedly: "Oh, OK."

"That's all right, auntie and little sister. I'll be leaving first."

"Leaving now?"

"Yes, I also want to go around the city and buy some cakes and pastries for the kids at home."

"Okay, then please pay attention to your safety."

Lin Dai put down the bag in her hand, followed her brother out the door, and stuffed some money and tickets into his hands.

"Where are you from?" Brother Lin looked at her in surprise.

Lin Dai said mysteriously, "This is my little treasury. Take it. It's a rare opportunity to come here. Have some fun in the city and go back after dinner."

After saying that, without waiting for his eldest brother's consent, he went back into the house and closed the door, as if he was afraid that he would not want it. Lin Qiang smiled helplessly and left.

After entering the house, Ge's mother had already started picking up things on the floor.

"Aunt, do you need help?"

Mother Ge was startled: "No need."

"Is everyone else at home?" Lin Dai asked, looking around.

"They are not here. They will probably be back at noon."

"Then I'll go stay in my cousin's room first."

Without waiting for an answer, he quickly climbed up to the attic, entered the room, and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Miss, why are you so cautious?" the system asked in confusion.

"It's because the original owner gave people a bad impression before, so I have to change my opinion."

Lin Dai looked at her cousin's room. It seemed clean and tidy, which was really inconsistent with his personality. He was always in a hurry and careless, and of course he didn't like her cousin.

Looking at the various study materials on the table, he thought carefully that this was just the time when he finished the college entrance examination. According to Lin Dai's perception of him, he had no chance of entering college.

Lin Dai sat on a chair and ate an old popsicle. She picked up a book and read it. Her thoughts drifted away, thinking about where to go for fun.

"Chubby, what fun places are there in the county town?"

The system said disdainfully: "No, although this is a county town, it is also very shabby and there is nothing fun to do. There is no amusement park, and there are no big shopping malls to go shopping. I have eaten all the delicious food, but this one doesn't have many of the ones I have eaten."

"Little Fatty, all you know is eating. This is 1980. You have to make your judgment based on the current state of national development. You can't compare it with the future."

"Oh... I know what we are going to do. We are going to go shopping, look for treasures, gold and silver jewelry at the scrap yard, and we can also go to the black market."

"How did you know this?"

"Novels. I've been reading some period novels recently. The time-traveling girls would go there to look for treasures, or go to the black market to have fun. It feels so mysterious there."

Lin Dai couldn't help but knock on his forehead and said disdainfully: "Don't read all the nonsense, read something useful."

"Ah, what's wrong? Am I wrong?"

"Yes and no. I have to teach you a lesson: to go to a scrap yard to pick up treasures, one must have some knowledge of cultural relics and the ability to appreciate them. If you are lucky, you can pick up some calligraphy and antiques. Those are also lost by people who don't know the value of things. There are also some online articles saying that a lot of gold bars were found in the legs of tables and chairs. In fact, this is very rare. If someone knows where to hide the gold bars, someone knows where to find them. Why would they wait for you to go to the scrap yard to find them? What's more, those who have those things are from relatively well-off families. During the Cultural Revolution, their homes were searched and the Red Guards would use various methods to search and even smash walls. The gold would be taken away by the bank, and the calligraphy and antiques would be taken away by the Red Guards and locked in warehouses. When people are released, these things will be found by their owners. So you can find good things when you go to a scrap yard to buy things, but it's rare. Many online articles exaggerate."

Lin Dai thought for a while and continued, "As for the black market, it is now 1980, the early stage of economic reform and opening up. The country will crack down on them more and more severely. In less than three years from now, the country will arrest a large number of evil forces, and the black market will disappear. There is no need for us to go there, and there is nothing good there."

"In that case, if we start doing business now, won't we be able to make a fortune?"

"Well, it's an opportunity for people now, but it's always an opportunity for us, so you want me to do business and make money?"

Lin Dai looked at the table full of books and thought for a moment: "You don't have to do business if you want to make money. After all, it will be difficult to leave if the time comes. You have read so many novels, so there should be other ways to make money." She raised an English book in her hand.

The system stared at the book in the host's hand and suddenly realized something. It said happily: "I see. I remembered that in the plot of this world, the heroine also started to do English translation and made a lot of money."

"That's right. Although we are not short of money, we still have to find a way to make money. Translator is a good job at this time. My current identity is quite suitable. I have an aunt in the city. There are two teachers in my aunt's family. It's not surprising that I know some English. But you say, how will the heroine do translation in the future? She hasn't been to school much."

After listening to it, the system also detected that the heroine had successfully woken up and understood this world, and the plot of the novel was proceeding normally.

"Miss, the heroine is awake."

Lin Dai nodded: "Very good, then I wish her a smooth journey to another world."

At noon, a strange scene occurred at the Ge family’s dinner table. Except for Lin Dai who was eating calmly, the others looked at her as if they had seen a ghost.

"Mom, are you sure she is your niece? My fat cousin?" Ge Ming asked his mother in a low voice while secretly glancing at the girl opposite.

Lin Dai took a quick glance, picked up a fish head and put it in Ge Ming's bowl, smiling sweetly.

"Cousin, eat more to nourish your brain. I'm sorry that you have to sleep in the living room during this period."

"Okay, thank you, cousin." Ge Ming was distracted by her smile and hadn't reacted yet. He took a few bites of food before he realized what was going on. He asked blankly, "What did you just say?"

"I'll be staying in your room these days. Thank you for sleeping in the living room."

"But, before now, you always slept with my mom, and my dad slept with me."

Lin Dai put down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth. "I think it's better not to separate my aunt and uncle, so as not to affect their relationship, so I'll sleep alone. Okay, grandpa and aunt, uncle and aunt, I'm done eating, you guys enjoy, I'll go upstairs first."

Everyone nodded silently. Looking at her back as she left and went upstairs, Father Ge couldn't help but sigh: "This girl has changed so much!"
