Chapter 1

“Sis! Don’t scare me!”

“Mom and Dad are gone, you can’t leave me too! Sis!”

A boy’s crying voice rang in her ears. Chen Suihuan only felt her head splitting with pain, unbearably uncomfortable.

“Don’t… don’t cry.” Chen Suihuan struggled to squeeze out a few words.

Sure enough, the boy’s crying stopped, and then came a surprised voice: “Sis, you’re awake? You had such a big gash on your head, the blood was all over the ground.

You scared me to death. I thought you were going to leave me too.

You’ve been unconscious for so long, are you thirsty? Hungry? I’ll go cook for you.”

With that, footsteps sounded, and soon, they faded away.

Chen Suihuan finally let out a long breath. She only felt a terrible headache at the moment, and the crying from earlier had only made it worse.

Now that the noise was gone, she finally felt a bit more comfortable.

Chen Suihuan opened her eyes and saw a somewhat shabby and mottled wall. She was lying on a metal-framed bed, with two large wooden boxes placed at the foot of the bed.

At the head of the bed was a wooden desk and chair. The room was not very big, and aside from those things, there was nothing else.

As Chen Suihuan looked at the unfamiliar surroundings in front of her, she was shocked and had just tried to sit up when suddenly her head ached again, and a strange memory appeared in her mind.

She had actually transmigrated.

Transmigrated to the last century, the 1970s.

It was now the year 1975.

The original body’s name was also Chen Suihuan. She was the second child of the Chen family, the eldest daughter of Chen Weiguo. She was nineteen years old this year, and she had a younger brother, Chen Sui’an, who was one year younger than her.

Chen Weiguo had been a soldier. Half a year ago, he had heroically sacrificed his life during a mission. Less than a month after his passing, Chen Suihuan’s mother had also succumbed to a serious illness and passed away.

Chen Suihuan and her younger brother Chen Sui’an became orphans overnight.

Fortunately, their family owned a three-bedroom apartment in Jing City, and Chen Weiguo was recognized as a martyr, which came with a generous compensation of 500 yuan—a considerable sum at the time.

In addition, their mother had been a worker at a textile factory. Although she had passed away, her job could be inherited by either Chen Suihuan or Chen Sui’an.

With these conditions, even though the siblings had become orphans, their future life should not have been too difficult.

However, Chen Suihuan had a grandmother who couldn’t distinguish right from wrong.

As the saying went: the eldest son is like a treasure, the youngest is a darling, and the one in the middle is a fool. Chen Weiguo had been that “fool in the middle.”

Chen Suihuan had an eldest uncle and a youngest uncle, and in Grandmother Chen’s eyes, these two sons were her true support for old age.

So in daily life, Grandmother Chen showed blatant favoritism and treated Chen Weiguo’s family like beasts of burden.

Chen Weiguo had given both money and effort to support the old woman, helping to feed both his older and younger brothers’ families.

Back when Chen Weiguo was in the army, he sent 35 yuan home every month—10 yuan of which went to Grandmother Chen. Because of this money, even though she didn’t like the second son’s family, she at least maintained a facade of civility.

But now that Chen Weiguo was dead, and upon hearing about the 500 yuan compensation, the old woman no longer even bothered to keep up appearances.

One could say, nicely, that Chen Suihuan’s mother had died of illness. But to put it bluntly, she had been angered to death by Grandmother Chen.

Just after the funeral, Grandmother Chen brought along her eldest and youngest sons and confronted Chen Suihuan and her brother.

Not only did they demand that Chen Suihuan give up her mother’s job position, but they also wanted her to hand over Chen Weiguo’s compensation money.

Naturally, the siblings refused. In response, Grandmother Chen, along with Chen Suihuan’s eldest aunt and youngest aunt, physically attacked the two children.

In a moment of chaos, Chen Suihuan’s head had slammed into the wall, cracking open a deep gash, and she passed out immediately.

When Grandmother Chen and the others saw that they had nearly caused a death, they didn’t dare stir up any more trouble and fled in a panic.

As a result, the original Chen Suihuan had died, and the modern Chen Suihuan had taken over her body.

“Sigh! What kind of mess is this?” Chen Suihuan sighed after going through the memories of the body’s previous owner.

After sighing, Chen Suihuan suddenly remembered something and silently recited an incantation in her mind.

The next second, the Chen Suihuan lying on the bed disappeared.

When she opened her eyes again, she was greeted by a chorus of sounds—cows, sheep, pigs, and all kinds of chickens, ducks, and geese.

A month earlier, back in the modern world, Chen Suihuan had suddenly gained a 50-mu dimensional space.

The space had 20 mu of farmland, 20 mu of mountainous terrain, and a wide river that ran through the middle, dividing the land in two.

The remaining 10 mu was grassland, located along the riverbank. At the very center of the grassland was a small wooden cabin, and beside it stood a large warehouse.

Three meters to the left in front of the cabin was a well, and inside it was spiritual spring water.

When the space had suddenly appeared, Chen Suihuan figured it could only mean one of two things: either the apocalypse was coming, or she was about to transmigrate.

Regardless of which it was, since this space had appeared, she was not going to waste it.

After all, in her past life Chen Suihuan had been an orphan. She hadn’t even been able to attend college, and had started working early just to support herself. Earning a little over 6,000 yuan a month, she had pinched every penny over the years and managed to save just 60,000.

But even with just 60,000 yuan, she had managed to fully cultivate all the land in the space.

She had bought all the chickens, ducks, and geese as just-hatched chicks, and now they had all grown big enough to start nesting.

As for the cows, sheep, and pigs, she had bought them as one-month-old animals—each group consisting of one male and five females.

Her original plan had been to raise just these and wait for them to breed on their own, so she could eventually grow her stock.

What Chen Suihuan did not expect was that time outside and time inside the space flowed at different speeds.

Chen Suihuan conducted an experiment and found that the ratio was about 5 to 1—one day passed outside, but five days passed inside the space.

On top of that, the spiritual spring water seemed to have an accelerating effect on growth. Within just one month, the livestock she raised had already multiplied three to four times.

Besides that, the 20 mu of black soil farmland was now fully planted with crops.

Whether it was the apocalypse or transmigration, food was always the most important. As soon as Chen Suihuan bought the seeds, she immediately planted five mu of wheat, five mu of dryland rice, and five mu of corn.

The remaining five mu was divided equally among potatoes, peanuts, sweet potatoes, cotton—one mu each—and one mu was sown with various vegetable seeds.

These crops could basically be harvested every ten days. After harvesting with her thoughts, the crops would automatically be stored in the warehouse.

Once harvested, there was no need to worry—the wheat would automatically turn into flour, and the rice would be hulled.

After harvesting sweet potatoes and potatoes, leftover vines remained, which could be fed to pigs and chickens.

In the river, Chen Suihuan also released some fish fry, shrimp fry, crabs, lobsters, and other aquatic products.

As for fruit trees, there were quite a few. However, Chen Suihuan did not buy fruit saplings directly. Instead, she bought various fruits from the fruit store. After eating them, she planted the seeds and pits in the soil.

Apples, bananas, pears, peaches, oranges, jackfruit, durian, as well as chestnuts, walnuts, longan, lychee, mangoes, jujubes…

Basically, any fruit the fruit store sold, Chen Suihuan had bought. For those she couldn’t find, she ordered saplings from Pinduoduo.

She planted seven or eight of each kind on the mountainside. Now those saplings had all grown into big trees, and Chen Suihuan had already harvested the first batch of fruit, which was stored in the warehouse.
