Chapter 1

Ning Jia’s upper and lower teeth were chattering from the cold, and when he could no longer hold his urine, he suddenly opened his eyes, turned over and sat up.

Seeing the thatched mud brooding room in front of him with wedding characters all over it and old furniture with broken limbs, he couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

This inexplicably familiar feeling and environment…could it be?

I’ve traveled through a book!

Ning Jia suddenly thought of something and jumped out of bed without even bothering to put on his cloth shoes. He pushed the door open and ran out.

Bang!

There was a noise from the other side, and a woman with a panicked look on her face rushed out.

Ning Jia: “Friends walk together for life.”

An Ye: “Whoever loses weight first is a dog!”

The code matched successfully.

“Ahhhh!”

“Aaaaaaaaah!”

The two men clenched their fists and opened their mouths, and let out a long scream at the same time.

Wear it, wear it!

Ning Jia confirmed that she had crossed into the book, and that she had crossed into the book with her best friend An Ye.

The two of them were working overtime together until late last night, and when they opened their eyes today, they found themselves here.

What’s going on?

Just as the two were about to rush up and hug each other, the door of the main room opened with a bang and a broom flew out first.

Then an old lady with triangular eyes and wrinkled face, wearing homespun, stepped out of the door and started to curse: “You are yelling and wailing so early in the morning! It seems that you were too hungry last night. Go, sweep the yard!”

Ning Jia winked at her bestie and immediately ran out: “I drank too much cold water last night, I have to pee urgently, I’m going to the toilet.”

An Ye understood and immediately ran out as well: “I’m more anxious than you! Ning Jia, stop right there and let me go first!”

The two people rushed to the toilet one after another, looked around and saw no one, so they started chatting eagerly.

“Jia Jia, have we traveled through time and space into a book? I almost didn’t recognize you just now! Where is your thirty-six-dimensional peak? Why is it so shrunken like a playing card?”

“Ye Ye, you’re not much better! Your charming waist is now thicker than the big water tank in the yard! Who is this wicked person who wrote us into such ugly pictures?”

As soon as the two met, they couldn’t help but complain about each other again.

“Let’s get back to the point.” Ning Jia pulled his thoughts back to the topic. “We’ve been complaining about this book these past few days. Have we been complaining too harshly? Did we just get transported in?”

An Ye was furious: “Who made this book have the same name as us? Moreover, it described us like this. Look at you, you are so thin that you look like a human skeleton specimen, and I am so round that I am almost like a pillar! Who else who travels through the book can be more miserable than us?”

Although one is fat and the other is thin, they do have one thing in common – they have no curves.

Even the parts that a person is proud of have now become shortcomings.

“Don’t be angry, don’t be angry! If you get sick from anger, no one will be able to take your place.” Ning Jia patted An Ye’s arm and consoled her, “Is this what you call miserable? Worse things are yet to come.”

The original text is set in the 1970s in a desolate mountain village, where the man is hungry, cold, and poorly clothed, and is also stuck with a mean, fertile old woman.

When she was young, Mrs. Xu gave birth to ten children at once, seven sons and three daughters.

She married the sixth son, Li Yao, while An Ye married the fifth son, Li Xu.

In the book, neither she nor An Ye are good people, and they fight whenever they meet.

Not only is she a skinny and dull troublemaker, but she is also a complete bootlicker who married Li Yao through dishonorable means.

An Ye is the substitute for the white moonlight that Li Xu hates but cannot get, but she is lazy, greedy and has no sense of propriety.

All kinds of buffs are stacked up!

The two of them fought to the death for a bite of food all day long, disturbing the neighbors and making their reputations so bad that they could be spread far and wide. In the end, the man abandoned her, and the two of them fought each other and became disabled, and ended up living on the streets picking up rags and begging for food.

In contrast, the heroine in the story is an educated youth who went to the countryside. She is beautiful and kind-hearted. All the men in the village want to fall in love with her, and the women in the village like her and speak to her in every way.

Wow!

This is not a real control group!

“What should I do?” An Ye was annoyed and kept rubbing his lower back.

“Huh? Your waist hurts?” Ning Jia noticed the problem with her sharp eyes. She had been rubbing her waist from the beginning till now.

An Ye blushed, “Don’t mention it. It was about that last night… I was so upset that my waist almost broke and my legs are still shaking. How about you?”

“I?”

Ning Jia inherited the original owner’s memory and briefly recalled the reason. It turned out that the reason why she was alone in the empty room last night was: she failed to make love with him, and Li Yao was furious and moved his bedding roll to guard the fish pond.

It was mid-autumn, and the fish in the brigade’s fish ponds had grown fat and were almost time to be sold. In order to prevent people from stealing the fish, the brigade arranged people to guard the fish ponds.

Li Yao just couldn’t stand her, so he simply switched shifts to guard the fish pond, leaving her with only a thin blanket to sleep on.

At this time, An Ye laughed at her, and she was so angry that the two of them started to curse each other in the yard and almost tore each other’s hair.

In a rage, Old Mrs. Xu refused to let anyone have dinner.

She was so hungry that she gulped down two bottles of water to fill her stomach before falling asleep.

“What a sin! This is the fate of a bootlicker!” Ning Jia slapped his head, “After two months of marriage, Li Yaobang didn’t even touch the original owner! I… I will be a widow from now on!”

An Ye also recalled the original owner’s memories and was envious when he heard this: “How wonderful this is, so peaceful! Who wants to be used as a substitute and do that every day…”

Ning Jia: “Ah, those who are dying of drought are dying of drought, and those who are dying of tuberculosis are dying of tuberculosis…”

An Ye sighed and whispered, “Jia Jia, I want a divorce and don’t want to live with him anymore.”

Ning Jia immediately said: “If you leave, I will leave too. Let’s leave together!”

“Is it possible to get divorced in this era? If we get divorced, where will we go and what will we eat?”

Ning Jia thought for a moment and said, “Then let’s save money first and then get divorced. Once we have saved enough money, we can talk about it later.”

“Okay, I’ll listen to you.”

As the two were discussing, another howl came from the yard: “Did you two fall into the toilet? If you continue to be lazy, you won’t have breakfast today.”
