Chapter 1: Crossing

"Can the woman who comes to my door be a good thing?"

"You are a college student, and her family has not been admitted to college, so how can she be worthy of you? If you dare to choose her today, I will die for you!"

"Qiaoqiao, if you love me, you should understand me and don't keep forcing me."

"..."

Two voices alternated back and forth in Li Qiao's mind, giving her a headache.

With his eyes half open, he could see reed poles arranged neatly on the dark roof.

She woke up suddenly.

It has a clay wall, a hard bed, two large boxes in the corner, and a long table by the window.

She was confused, where is this?

Shouldn't she accompany her cousin to burn incense at Yanjing Xiashan Temple to seek marriage?

Fragmented memories slowly seeped into her mind, and it took her a long time to piece together the current situation.

She has traveled through time!

It is now the winter of 1977. The original owner has the same name and surname as her, and is eighteen years old.

Not long ago, his childhood sweetheart's mother forced the two of them to break up because the original owner failed the college entrance examination and was not worthy of him. She couldn't think of jumping into a river. Fortunately, she was saved by Qin Jin from Fengjia Village next door.

When the two came up from the river wet, many people bumped into them. Rumors spread in the village, and the parents of the original owner asked Qin Jin to take responsibility.

Qin Jin is a well-known gangster with a reputation for being a tyrant. On the day of their wedding, he was accused of being drunk and causing trouble the day before and was arrested.

The original owner passively believed that there was no hope of living with such a person, so he took advantage of the situation and used a rope to end himself.

Just hear a squeak.

The door opened from the outside, and the person who came was about eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing a navy blue cotton coat, with a tall and slender figure, estimated to be around 188 years old.

He has thick black hair and sharp facial features.

He was holding a piece of withered grass in his mouth, and he was so arrogant that he didn't even give her a serious look. "I heard from my neighbor that you are seeking death while I'm away? If you want to die, stay away from me. It's bad luck!"

Li Qiao was surprised, the original owner’s husband looks really good, but it’s a pity that he has a long mouth.

At this time, an old lady over sixty years old rushed in from outside. She was of medium height and energetic. She jumped up and pulled his ears: "What are you doing so stupidly?"

"Hiss~it hurts..."

"Get out!" Old Mrs. Qin added another kick, put on a smiling face and said to Li Qiao: "Qiao Qiao, don't worry about him not being able to speak."

"Grandma, will she come home yet? I went out to play."

Mrs. Qin was so angry that she yelled: "Just stay at home!" She turned to Li Qiao and said lovingly again: "If he dares to bully you when he comes home today, just tell me and I will take care of him."

Li Qiao hummed in a complicated mood.

After the old lady left, he got up and tidied his clothes. Then he sat in front of the mirror and combed his hair. He was frightened by the figure reflected in the mirror and backed away.

Oh my god! Except for her hairstyle and clothes, that’s what she looks like.

She couldn't figure it out, so she adjusted her mentality and sat back in front of the mirror. She braided her thick bangs into her hair to reveal her full forehead. She tied two short braids with a hairband and put on a scarf to cover up the strangulation marks on her neck.

Immediately I went out and looked around. I saw two mud houses with walls extending out on both sides to form a small courtyard.

There is a shed on the left where kitchen utensils and farm tools are neatly placed, and the floor is clean.

Where are people?

After hesitating for a moment, she called grandma.

The girl's voice was soft and waxy.

Qin Jin poked his head out from the next room, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

She has a palm-sized oval face, almond eyes and peach cheeks, naturally rosy lips slightly pursed, and her pink and white skin is very beautiful.

Why didn't I realize she was so dewy and beautiful before?

She smiled sweetly at him and said, "I've packed it up."

The young girl's bright smile dazzled the young man. Will he know how to please after death?

Too late!

Her words of humiliation and abuse are still ringing in my ears.

He squinted Leng Zhan's eyes, suddenly looked away, stepped forward and got on the bicycle with his long legs on the ground and said impatiently: "Pack up and get in the car, Momoji!"

Li Qiao: "..." Don't you mean to reach out and not hit the smiling person? Why does he have such an attitude?

She took a deep breath and said silently: I am generous and will not argue with you, an old antique.

She stepped forward and turned sideways. As soon as she sat down, the car whizzed away. She was so frightened that she hugged him back.

"What kind of hooligan are you playing in the blue sky?" The young man clapped her hand hard.

On the day of the wedding, the bride's feet were not allowed to touch the floor. He had to carry her into the house, but his hands touched her somewhere. This is what she scolded him for.

Li Qiao cried out in pain and shook the numb back of his hand, so depressed that his delicate facial features were distorted.

Almost every house in the village had their doors open, but there was no one in the courtyard or on the road.

As I approached the village entrance, I saw groups of children skating on the ice.

Aren't the adults in the village afraid of children falling into the river while skating?

Li Qiao wanted to remind the children to stay away from the ice, but the young man was driving too fast and it was too late.

It takes about twenty minutes.

The bicycle is parked in front of a farmhouse.

Three large adobe houses came into view. Farm tools were arranged in a mess in the yard, and rotten vegetable leaves and firecracker scraps were randomly thrown on the ground.

Four women of various ages and a boy about ten years old went out to greet him.

Li Qiao's mind went blank. She heard Qin Jin call the middle-aged woman Madam, the eldest sister, the second sister Jinhua, and the boy Taurus. She followed him and looked at him secretly.

The eldest sister is about 25 or 26 years old, and the second sister is also in her early twenties. Both of them are beautiful and have fair skin.

Jinhua looks about the same age as himself, and Qin Jin calls Jinhua and Taurus, so they are younger sisters?

As his eyes wandered, Jin Hua stared at Qin Jin with bright eyes. Was he so handsome?

She also looked at him and got a stabbing look.

Li Qiao: "..."

After exchanging a few words, Li's father, Li Shengcai, and his two other sons-in-law walked out of the main room. They glanced at the cigarettes and wine brought by Qin Jin and smiled on their faces: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back. I heard that you drink a lot.

Today, everyone, please have a drink with you."

Qin Jin was busy passing out cigarettes and saying polite words, but the smoke filled the room, which made Li Qiao cough and his head hurt, so he excused himself to go to the latrine to get some fresh air.

Li's mother, Dong Lamei, caught up with her and said, "Third brother, you will go to the village entrance shop later to buy two bags of peanuts and bring them back for dinner and dinner." After she finished speaking, she left.

Li Qiao was in disbelief. It was the first time he heard that visiting relatives bought food and drinks by themselves.

Why should she buy from so many people? She has no money either.

She doesn't buy it!

She walked to the top of a mound not far from her home and looked around. The villages were hidden in the endless wilderness of low mountains. If it weren't for the memory fragments that did not belong to her in her mind, she really thought she had been abducted somewhere.

In poverty.

"Third sister."

Li Qiao looked back and saw Jinhua: "Is something wrong?"

Li Jinhua's eyes flashed: "Third sister, my ex-boyfriend Cai Hechuan found me privately and planned to come back today and take you outside to avoid the limelight. I will help you make an appointment right now."

Li Qiao was confused. He was a eldest girl. Wouldn't his reputation be affected if his sister ran away with a man?

Maybe he was patronizing for her own good, but as a sister, she couldn't keep it clear. "If I go with him, it will make it difficult for you to find a good husband. Don't date that man, just treat me as if I don't know him."

"Don't be so angry. I'll see you at the threshing floor." Li Jinhua ran away.

"Hey!" Li Qiao wanted to stop him, but his lower abdomen suddenly hurt. Isn't his aunt here?

I am penniless, what should I do?

Li Qiao covered her aching stomach and went to the small shop at the entrance of the village. The salesperson told her that sanitary napkins were not sold in the village and gave her a stack of yellow paper.
