Chapter 403: Seventies: The Mature Husband 3

After using the hot water to drive away all the chill in her body, she immediately crawled into bed and let out a long sigh of relief.

Then she said to Little Cutie, “I almost got killed because of you this time!”

Hearing this, Little Cutie guiltily shrank his head. “Host, I didn't expect this to happen either. I can't decide what point in the timeline we'll enter.”

“Hmph! It's all your fault anyway.” Tang Wan glared at him.

Then she continued to wrap herself tightly in the quilt.

At this moment, Liu Juan's voice came from outside. “Educated Youth Tang, are you done washing? I made you some ginger soup.”

“Okay, Sister Juan, I'll be right there.” Tang Wan hurriedly replied.

It wasn't a minor matter if a young woman caught a chill.

Tang Wan then endured the cold, put on her long underwear and long johns, draped a military overcoat over herself, and opened the door.

“Educated Youth Tang, here. Drink it while it's hot.”

“Thank you, Sister Juan!”

“Ay, after you finish it, get a good night's sleep and work up a sweat.”

Tang Wan nodded, then carried the ginger soup back into the room.

After finishing the ginger soup, she breathed out a puff of white vapor before crawling back under the covers and covering her head as she sweated out the cold.

……

The next morning, Tang Wan felt much better.

After breakfast, she went with the educated youths from the village to the farm to work.

Tang Wan had never done farm work before.

But the work-point system was still in place at this time, and food was extremely precious, so only by earning work points diligently could one have enough to eat.

Fortunately, the original owner's family was worth ten thousand yuan, and every two months, her family would send her money. So although Tang Wan wasn't very good at working, she didn't have to worry about starving to death here because she couldn't earn many work points.

At this moment, a handsome man in a coarse cloth jacket, his hair neatly combed, approached her. He then revealed what he thought was a suave and charming smile.

“Educated Youth Tang, do you need me to help you? You've been here for a month already, yet you still haven't learned how to work.”

Tang Wan gave him a half-smile.

This man's name was Li Hao. He was none other than the guy who had eloped with the female lead in her previous life.

Li Hao's original target had been the beautiful, fair-skinned, and wealthy Tang Wan. Unfortunately, after Tang Wan was saved by Huo Shaoting, she devoted herself entirely to Huo Shaoting and didn't even bother acknowledging him.

So he had no choice but to settle for second best, enduring his disgust as he associated with the female lead, Chen Cheng, who was infatuated with him.

……

“No need. As someone who has devoted herself to developing the countryside, how could I let someone else do my work for me? If I did that, what difference would there be between me and those parasites who shirk their duties?” Tang Wan said righteously.

Hearing this, Li Hao gave an awkward smile. “Educated Youth Tang certainly has high ideological awareness. No wonder you come from a scholarly family.”

But inwardly, he was thinking: Idiot! Someone is willing to do your work for you and you still don't want it! Is there something wrong with your brain?

However, even more people looked at Tang Wan with admiration.

What profound ideological awareness!

No wonder she was an intellectual who had received an advanced education!

As a result, everyone began working even harder.

……

Looking at everyone's expressions, Tang Wan felt somewhat emotional.

She had never experienced this era herself, but she knew that the vast majority of people at this time were simple and hardworking. Without their painstaking and relentless efforts, there would be no rapidly rising New China in the future!

It was absolutely no exaggeration to describe this generation as the backbone that supported the nation.

But after her moment of reflection, Tang Wan still had no choice but to pick up the chaff cutter and continue cutting fodder.

Fortunately, the national college entrance examination would be restored in 1977. By then, she would be able to take the exam and leave this place together with Tongtong.
