Liang Sumei signed her name on the consent form for the operation and watched the stretcher being pushed into the operating room. She felt mixed emotions and silently prayed for the operation to go smoothly. She gradually became sleepy, so she used chairs in the ward to make a makeshift bed, lay down and fell into a deep sleep.

"Girl? Girl?" Liang Sumei opened her eyes dimly and saw a nurse calling her. "Girl, are you the patient's family member? The patient just finished the operation and is receiving an IV. You can't sleep. You have to watch over the IV. When this bottle of IV is almost finished, remember to call us to change it." The nurse instructed.

She leaned back in her chair and stared at the man lying on the bed. After wiping his face, his handsome features were revealed. The liquid in the infusion tube dripped down, making a tapping sound, like a lullaby. Although Liang Sumei still felt sleepy, she supported her head with her hands and tried to stay awake. Finally, the first bottle of liquid was finished. She calculated the time and it took about 40 minutes. She decided to take a short rest after changing the liquid.

When the man woke up, he felt a pain in his abdomen. He habitually lifted the quilt to check the wound, and then he realized that he was in the hospital. The pressure of the quilt made him lower his head to check the situation, but he found a girl sleeping on his quilt. The girl's braids fell on her fair face, covering her eyes. The first ray of sunlight in the morning shone on her back, making her look particularly beautiful. He just looked at her quietly, thinking to himself: "This little nurse is quite lazy."

"Are you awake?" Liang Sumei woke up and found the man looking at her. Her braids were removed, revealing a pair of clear, bright eyes. The man's eyes lit up and he exclaimed in his heart, "What a beautiful woman."

"Well, little nurse, do you know how I came to the hospital?" the man asked.

"Little nurse? I'm not a nurse." Liang Sumei explained hurriedly.

"Oh." The man was a little disappointed. He looked at Liang Sumei's clothes and found them a little rustic. He thought, maybe his mother knew he was in the hospital and arranged for this nanny to take care of him. Then she definitely didn't know who was the benefactor who sent him to the hospital. Last night, he felt a jolt and tried to open his eyes in a daze. He only felt a Buddha's light leading him forward, and then he fainted again.

"Please get me a glass of water, I'm thirsty." the man ordered.

"Okay." Liang Sumei got up to pour water.

"When did my mother leave?" the man asked again.

Liang Sumei shook her head in confusion: "No! I haven't seen your mother yet."

"Then who arranged for you to come here?" the man continued to ask.

Liang Sumei put the cup of water on the cabinet next to the bed, but the man said, "You have to feed me."

Liang Sumei interrupted his request: "I think you may have misunderstood. I saw you fainted on the road last night, and I kindly sent you to the hospital. You should contact your family as soon as possible. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." After that, Liang Sumei turned and left. The man saw the blood stains on Liang Sumei's back, and then he realized that he had just ordered his benefactor around. He wanted to call his benefactor back in frustration to ask her name, but his body didn't obey him, and it hurt a lot when he exerted force. He could only lie on the bed and regret it.

Liang Sumei relied on her past life memories to find the location of the Yangshan Town Government. To her surprise, the town government had not moved, just like in her past life, and was not far from the hospital. The town government office building at this moment was a simple three-story building that did not look as magnificent as it would be in the future.

People gathered at the gate, waiting for the guard to open the door to the government. Bicycles, which were rarely seen in Tianwa Village, were quite common here. There were several people waiting at the gate with their bicycles.

When the guard took out the key and prepared to open the door, everyone gathered around. Liang Sumei also took the opportunity to move closer. As the door opened, people poured in, and Liang Sumei also mixed in and walked in quietly.

However, at this moment, a stern shout rang out: "Hey! Hey! That female comrade, yes, it's you, stop! Turn around! Get out!" It turned out that the guard discovered the unfamiliar Liang Sumei, and seeing her rural clothes, he wanted to drive her out without any hesitation.

Liang Sumei's mentality was still immature at the moment, and she was already feeling a little guilty. When she heard the guard's scolding, she knew he was talking about her. She walked up to the guard and forced a smile to explain, "Uncle, I'm here to do some business."

The guard was unmoved and asked questions in rapid succession: "Business? What business? Which leader do you want to see? Give me the letter of introduction." Liang Sumei knew that the more people knew, the more dangerous it would be. She did not reveal the details, but just said vaguely: "Uncle, I have important matters to report to the director of the Revolutionary Committee, and I haven't had time to get a letter of introduction yet."

The guard snorted disdainfully and said sarcastically, "Don't try to fool me. Who knows what you are here for? Get out of here."

"Master, please be kind and let me in. Look, I'm just a little girl, how could I be in danger?" Liang Sumei prayed earnestly.

"Hmph, let alone a girl like you, I can't let you in even if you were a puppy." The guard waved his hand firmly, motioning her to leave.

Liang Sumei felt disappointed. She had expected that the agreement would be handed over to the leader smoothly. When the leader saw the agreement, he would be shocked and say, "Oh my God, this arranged marriage is simply challenging the bottom line of the new society!" Then he would quickly organize people to go back to the village with her to arrest people. However, ideals are full of reality.

She was extremely anxious and stood not far from the guard, looking around constantly, looking for an opportunity to break through.

"Little girl, I just saw old man Zhang arguing with you, are you going to go in?" A kind voice interrupted Liang Sumei's thoughts. She looked back and saw a man with a full beard standing behind her. His eyes were not fierce, but rather cunning. Liang Sumei nodded.

"This old man Zhang won't let you in easily unless you give him some benefits." The man lowered his voice and spoke quietly.

Liang Sumei frowned. She didn't have a penny on her, so how could she possibly give benefits to Old Man Zhang? However, she thought of her own space mall, and her eyes suddenly lit up. She decided to find a place where no one was around so that it would be convenient for her to get things from the space mall.

"Hey! Little girl, wait a minute, I want to tell you something." The man saw Liang Sumei was about to leave and hurriedly stopped her.

Liang Sumei stopped and thought that it was thanks to this man who reminded her, but seeing that he looked mysterious, she must be asking for something when she spoke to him. So she asked, "Brother, do you have anything to sell?"

The man took Liang Sumei to a secluded place and took out two boxes of Sophora japonica cigarettes from his arms. "Old man Zhang loves to smoke these cigarettes. If you give them to him, he will definitely let you in."

"Brother, what do you want to change?" Liang Sumei asked.

"I just want food stamps," the man replied.

Liang Sumei said with some embarrassment: "Brother, I don't have any food coupons on me. But tell me what kind of food you want, and I'll get it for you later."

The man felt like he was being teased, and said unhappily, "Hey, little girl, stop teasing me. If it was that easy, I would have done it myself a long time ago."

"Brother, I'm really anxious to go in. Please tell me what food you want." Liang Sumei looked anxious.

The man thought for a moment and said jokingly, "Humph, you look young but you are so arrogant. I want fine grains, go get them for me."

Liang Sumei nodded and said, "Just wait for me here for 10 minutes. Don't go away. You must wait for me." After that, she ran to a more secluded place, and after making sure that there was no one around, she quickly took out 2 kilograms of rice and 2 kilograms of flour from the space mall and trotted back.

The man did not take Liang Sumei's words to heart, but out of curiosity, he decided to wait there for a while to see if the girl would really come back.

Unexpectedly, the little girl came back with two bags in her hands. She threw the rice and flour on the ground. The man opened the bags and was shocked. He asked in a horrified manner, "Did you rob?" He thought that the girl was strong enough to do such a thing.

Liang Sumei wiped the sweat off her face, rolled her eyes at the man, and lied, "My sister works in the supply and marketing cooperative, and I bought this on credit from her. I'll give her the food coupons later."

Although the man was skeptical, the rice and flour in front of him were real. He thought of his wife and children who had not had a good meal for a long time, so he gritted his teeth, handed the cigarette to Liang Sumei, picked up the rice and flour, and left quietly.
