Reborn into the 70: Turning Adversity into Her Dazzling Path

Before being dispatched, Old Man Zhou was a university professor, teaching Gu Lingling was a child's play for him.

Here, Gu Lingling was attentively listening to Old Man Zhou's lecture, while there the youth settlement was bustling with activity.

This time, five educated youths came to Nanshui Village, three men and two women.

The one who volunteered for class this time was Tao Zhiran, who inquired about Gu Lingling that day.

The female educated youth who scolded Zhao Si'en that day was Wei Yan Yan, and when she heard what Tao Zhiran said, she was tempted, thinking it would be a good opportunity to show off her skills to the village girls.

Not seeing Gu Lingling, Tao Zhiran felt a bit disappointed, but quickly regained his spirits.

Today was the first class, maybe she didn't know yet, but there would be plenty of opportunities in the future. He just couldn't believe she wouldn't come.

Tao Zhiran, whether in appearance or demeanor, outshone the other two male educated youths, Tian Dazhuang and Ge Dong, especially with his scholarly aura and constant smile, he quickly won over many girls' hearts.

"Brother Ge, why don't you go teach them? If you teach, you will definitely do better than them." Tian Dazhuang, true to his name, was a brawny young man.

Ge Dong had a square face and usually didn't talk much. He and Tian Dazhuang were classmates, both assigned here together.

Hearing this, Ge Dong put down his book, "How many times have I told you, watch your words in the future."

"If they want to do such things, just let them. Take a good rest on rainy days. Once the rain stops, we have to start working."

Tian Dazhuang, not angry, grinned and scratched his head, "It's just us two anyway."

"Zhao Si'en, remember to cook the meal in a while." As the two were talking, they heard Wei Yan Yan outside, arrogantly ordering Zhao Si'en.

"This Wei Yan Yan only picks on the weak." Tian Dazhuang muttered.

Actually, there was another thing he didn't say, Wei Yan Yan had eyes for Tao Zhiran, always orbiting around him, but only Tao Zhiran pretended not to notice her schemes.

Ge Dong had already stood up, "Let's go, let's help Enen with the cooking."

Wei Yan Yan suggested taking turns to cook, obviously trying to make things difficult for Zhao Si'en, a mere twelve-year-old girl who had never cooked before.

Under Ge Dong's objection, Wei Yan Yan finally backed down.

"Brother Ge, Brother Tian." Zhao Si'en, with red eyes and a bit flustered, said, "I... I haven't finished cooking yet."

"Let's do it together." Ge Dong, rarely smiling, managed a slight grin, "It's not like you're the only one eating."

"Thank you." The little girl, head lowered, eyes red.

But Tian Dazhuang and Ge Dong never expected that their sympathy and assistance to Zhao Si'en would be remembered by her and eventually lead to unexpected returns.

Of course, that's a story for another time.

The trip to the transformer factory was quite fruitful for Wang Meili, finding out upon reporting to the unit that even as a temporary worker, the salary was as high as eighteen yuan a month.

She quietly asked the director and was told that if she did well, she could become permanent.

The only regret was that she couldn't find a suitable house, either too expensive or too remote. She decided not to rent initially and would reconsider once she was more familiar with the area.

If only she had a bicycle, then even living at home, she wouldn't have to wake up so early.

But bicycle permits were too hard to obtain.

Wang Meili returned to the Gu Family with her body still damp, Gu Juan was still at the youth settlement, and Gu Lingling had just returned home before Wang Meili did.

Old Mrs. Gu was still out gossiping at someone else's house and hadn't come back yet.
