Chapter 2 The Sixties
The cold wind outside was still blowing in waves, so Ye Qian quickly got up and looked in the cupboard by g to see if there were any clothes she could wear.
Ye Qian looked at the cotton-padded clothes in the cabinet and couldn't help but sigh, how shabby they were.
The clothes looked like they had been bitten by mice, they were dirty, torn and smelly.
The original owner was also lazy and had no one to take care of him, nor did he take care of the house.
There was dust on the table. It looked like it hadn't been wiped off for half a month.
Turning around and going to the stove, there were still two unwashed dishes placed on the stove by the original owner. The straw and firewood on one side were also piled up in a mess.
Ye Qian sighed heavily, what is this?
I have traveled back in time to the 1960s. Although I don’t know much about this era, I have read novels about it.
In this era, you not only need money to buy things, but also tickets, and you also need a letter of introduction when going out, otherwise you won't be able to go anywhere.
Although there are a lot of supplies in the space, I don't want to stay in the countryside all my life.
It's so hard to work in the fields. You don't want to do it, and you can't just sit around at home. It won't be good if others see you.
Then I just need to find a job outside. It is said that jobs can be bought now. The original owner has a junior high school degree. It shouldn't be difficult to find a job by spending some money.
But I don’t have to worry about it. Looking back, I think it’s too dirty. I haven’t taken a shower for how many days. My hair is oily and smelly. There is also black dirt in my nails. It makes me feel sick just looking at it.
, I couldn’t wait to boil water again, so I quickly took out the hot water in the space and cleaned myself up. It was too dirty.
I used the shampoo and shower gel that I had prepared before, and washed myself with 3 buckets of water in a row before washing myself clean.
After taking a shower, she put on her old autumn clothes and long johns. The outer clothes were still the same. Ye Qian didn't want to put on the clothes in the cabinet that looked like they had been bitten by mice.
After cleaning herself up and getting ready to comb her hair, she remembered that Ye Qian still didn't know what she looked like in this era. She quickly took out a mirror from the space and took a look at it. She realized that this face looked exactly the same as her previous life.
Ye Qian was startled.
But this face is a little thinner than my original self. Looking at the height, 165cm is the same as myself. Looking at the figure, it is almost the same as myself.
Um.
almost.
Pretty much the same really.
Just lose about 50 pounds.
I quickly combed two hemp braids. I wanted to tie a simple ponytail, but in this era, it was common to tie two hemp braids and hang them in front of my chest.
Her hair was dry and tangled, making it difficult to comb, and her face was also sallow and unattractive.
There is no time to think about this now. After putting the washing items in the space, I feel hungry again.
Although the fever had subsided, he was still sick. He didn't dare to eat anything else, so he took out a large bowl of white porridge and added a little kimchi. If it wasn't enough, he added 2 hard-boiled eggs.
After eating, I still feel bad, but my body is always hungry, so eating too much at once is not good, so let’s just leave it at that.
It was already dark outside. I looked at the watch in the space and saw that it was already past 10 p.m.
Sleeping is the most practical. Looking at the thin quilt, I turned the original quilt to the other side, leaving a little space to put the quilt in my own space.
If someone comes in, you might as well put your own set of quilts into the space.
After all, the original owner of these quilts, an orphan girl, couldn't get them.
After a dreamless night, Ye Qian opened her eyes, looked at the dirty and dilapidated house, and sighed.
Get up, fold the quilt, and put it away in the space.
After fetching water and washing up, I took out a bottle of eight-treasure porridge in the space and started eating it.
I had two meals of white porridge yesterday. It was bland and tasteless. I don’t want to eat it again today.
After breakfast, I decided to tidy up the house first, otherwise it would be so dirty, messy and difficult to live in.
Sweeping the floor, mopping the dust, and putting things in order is enough.
I don't want to live here for a long time. It's best to get a job and leave here as soon as possible. Otherwise, I will have to work in the fields next year, which I can't do.
It was already 12:30 noon after I had tidied up the main room, and it was time for lunch. I was already hungry after eating so much in the morning.
When I went to the kitchen, I remembered that the kitchen hadn't been cleaned yet. It was troublesome to eat here and I had to make a fire myself.
Looking at the two unwashed bowls on the stove, forget it, let's just drink the porridge in the space.
I drank a bowl of lean meat porridge and ate 2 steamed buns, which were not enough. I looked at the sweet potatoes in the kitchen and ate another sweet potato.
The food of this era has not experienced contamination and indeed tastes better than that of the 21st century.
I'm so tired after dinner. Let's take a nap first and then get up and clean up the kitchen.
I slept until 4 o'clock in the afternoon. There was nothing I could do, my illness was not cured, my body was weak, I couldn't sleep more, I had to eat more.
When I was cleaning up the kitchen in the afternoon, I really didn't pay attention to the two unwashed dishes on the stove. What if a mouse crawled over? I didn't dare to use them anymore, so I just threw them away.
The kitchen was small, so it didn't take much effort to clean it up, and I also found 8 yuan, 30 cents and 2 cents hidden by the original owner in it.
Although it's not winter yet, it's cold now and it gets dark quite early.
Although I took a nap at noon, I was still tired.
After a tiring day, I said I wanted to eat something good in the evening to reward myself.
I decided to have a self-heating hotpot, unpacked it, put the heating bag in the lower layer, added some water, put the ingredients in the upper layer and added water, and just waited.
The hot pot started to heat up soon after. I wiped the saliva that was about to remain on me. No, the time was running out. I had to wait a little longer. What if it wasn't cooked yet?
After 15 minutes finally passed, I opened the lid, picked up a piece of ham and started eating.
Damn.
So fragrant.
While eating, I sighed that I spent the first day in time in the 1960s like this. I didn't even go out and just cleaned up at home for the day.
After all, I am a person who can’t even help a cup when it falls, so I suddenly feel so virtuous.
I wasted a whole day today and I must go out tomorrow. It is said that there was a black market in the 1960s. If you have food, you can exchange it for some money and tickets. How can you find a job with empty pockets? This job will not fall from the sky.
for you.
Then he fell asleep peacefully.
After getting up in the morning, Ye Qian went directly to the county seat and carried a small backpack from home, which the original owner's father made for her when she was a child.
The original owner had been to the county town with his parents a few years ago, so he knew the way there.
Ye Qian's family lives in a relatively remote area, with only one family nearby. It's time to have breakfast, so she didn't bother her.
I locked the door to my home, turned around and left.
