Stunning Check-in: A Carefree Life Begins in the Countryside

[A place to store your brain!]

……

"Clang! Clang!"

"Waaah—"

The unique sound that rang in his ears made Xia An slowly open his eyes, a hint of doubt flashing in them.

Immediately afterwards, the pungent, unpleasant odor made him frown.

Xia An raised her eyes and glanced around at the surroundings, her tightly furrowed brows deepening.

"Wasn't I looking at the initial sales figures for a new book? Where am I?"

"This carriage..."

"Hiss~"

A sudden sharp pain shot through his mind, causing Xia An to gasp in shock.

Before he could react, his head tilted to the side and leaned against the car window.

I don't know how much time has passed.

When Xia An woke up again, she understood her situation and felt like crying.

He'd been writing books for three years, and finally, his new book's debut took off.

In a moment of excitement, he actually time-traveled?!

What kind of plot is this?

He wrote novels for three years, but he never dared to write like this.

Xia An sighed softly.

This was in 1972, the era of the wave of re-education of educated youth sent to the countryside.

The original owner of this body is also called Xia An. She just turned 18 this year and is an unemployed youth in Beijing.

He lost both his parents when he was seven years old and was adopted by Su Zhan, a comrade-in-arms of his father.

The Su family, including him, consisted of five people: Su Zhan, a steel mill worker; Su's mother, a housewife; and his older sister, Su Lin, a textile factory worker.

There is also a sixteen-year-old younger sister, Su Su.

Su Zhan passed away unexpectedly half a month ago.

In order to allow Su Su to replace Su Zhan at the steel mill and get away from the quagmire of rural life...

The original owner secretly enrolled in the educated youth program and boarded the special train to Heilongjiang Province without informing the mother and daughter of the Su family.

Unexpectedly, due to the death of her adoptive father, the original owner of this body had been overwhelmed with grief, and coupled with two days of train travel, her body could not withstand it.

He died.

That's why Xia An was able to travel through time.

But to make matters worse, he became a sent-down youth, and was even sent to the freezing cold province of Heilongjiang.

Isn't this just sending him here to suffer?

Xia An wanted to cry but had no tears.

Despite his helplessness, he remained silent for a moment, then sighed softly to himself.

Since we're here, let's make the best of it.

At least in this era, getting a wife shouldn't have been as difficult as it is in later generations.

However, something seems off about this body. Are people in this era really that physically weak?

He's even weaker than someone who doesn't exercise for years!

As Xia An was thinking, a clear, ethereal voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

"Host has been detected to have received memories. System loading..."

The sudden sound made Xia An's heart race, and her face flushed with a sickly redness.

If the timing hadn't been inappropriate, he probably would have burst into laughter.

Even so, his fists were clenched and his body was trembling slightly.

"Xia, are you feeling better?"

A soft whisper came from the side, the voice carrying a hint of inexplicable joy.

Xia An turned her head and, in the dim light, saw the girl next to her.

The girl was about seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in military uniform, her chest protruding quite a bit.

With delicate features, her fair face was full of youthful plumpness and collagen.

Her big, bright eyes blinked gently, making her look incredibly cute and adorable.

Xia An remembered that the girl's name seemed to be Jiang Mengmeng, and she was said to be from Shanghai.

Like him, they were heading to Songlin Commune, Songyuan County, Songjiang Region, Heilongjiang Province.

"I'm fine, thank you for your concern, Jiang Zhiqing."

Xia An shook her head slightly, a barely perceptible hint of emotion flashing in her eyes.

Jiang Mengmeng's delicate nose wrinkled slightly, and a hint of worry flickered in her eyes.

"Xia, I've seen you sleep for over a day. Are you sure you're alright?"

"I……"

Xia An was about to speak when she heard a gurgling sound from her stomach, and her face turned slightly red.

The original body had been in a half-dead state and had not eaten for more than a day.

Hearing this voice, Jiang Mengmeng smiled knowingly. "Do you have any food left? Do you need me to share some with you?"

"No need, thank you, Jiang Zhiqing."

Xia An shook his head, took out a cornbread from his backpack, and swallowed it with water.

He frowned slightly. Wasn't this coarse grain bread a bit too harsh on the throat?

In the days to come, this situation will inevitably occur more often, and it will probably be even more difficult.

wrong!

The original owner ate this all the time. If I inherit his body, why would it feel like my throat is being scratched?

Xia An was filled with surprise and doubt.

Fortunately, it seems he has awakened the system.

Is this a normal issue? We can ask the system later.

Xia An swallowed a cornbread to barely fill his stomach and refused to eat any more.

It's really hard to swallow!

He put away the kettle, glanced at the night view outside the window, and then said,

"Jiang Zhiqing, it's quite dark now, why don't you rest a little longer?"

"I estimate we'll get off the train around dawn, and I probably won't get any rest for a while after that."

Jiang Mengmeng nodded slightly, "Okay, Xia Zhiqing, eat more and rest for a while longer."

As she spoke, she leaned back in her seat and slowly closed her eyes.

In the dim light, Xia An watched her slightly fluttering eyelashes and felt a strange stirring in his heart.

In this era without makeup magic and beauty filters, her appearance remains absolutely stunning.

Marrying such a stunning beauty as a wife wouldn't be bad at all.

and……

As I recall, there seemed to be more than one beautiful woman on the bus.

Xia An looked at the twin sisters leaning against each other across from her, a hint of amazement flashing in her eyes.

The two women wore white floral dresses, their features were exquisite and beautiful, and their fair and delicate faces seemed to be able to be broken with a touch.

The key point is that the two of them, regardless of their faces or their clothes, look exactly alike, which is very eye-catching.

In my memory,

The two sisters, named Shen Nianchu and Shen Nian'an, also came from Beijing and were sent to Songlin Commune as educated youth.

However, there seems to be some issue with the ingredients.

But does it matter?

The key is that it looks good, what's a little bit of ingredient issue?

Suddenly, Xia An felt a strange sense of anticipation for the upcoming life of being sent to the countryside.

As Xia An was thinking, that ethereal voice from before echoed in his mind again.

"The Stunning Beauty Sign-in System has finished loading. Congratulations, host, on successfully replacing the deceased..."

"New player gift packs are being distributed..."

"The newbie gift pack has been distributed. Please open the gift pack and make your selections as soon as possible."

As the voice faded, a virtual light screen suddenly appeared in front of Xia An's eyes.

On the screen of light, there was a gift box radiating seven-colored light.

A glint flashed in his eyes, and he silently thought, "Open the gift pack!"

Then, the gift box shattered with a crash, turning into seven faint halos of light.

At the same time, a line of text appeared on the light screen:

—Please complete the selection of five out of seven as a newbie gift pack reward.

Xia An glanced at the seven halos of light, and their information appeared one by one.

The Spirit Spring Space contains a warehouse, a pool of spirit spring water, and ten acres each of fertile fields, woodlands, medicinal herb fields, and pastureland.

One can plant and harvest crops and fruits with a single thought, or slaughter and dispose of livestock with another.

Vegetables, fruits, and meats will not spoil after being placed inside, but live primates should not be placed inside.

Medical lineage: Master top-level medical skills in both Chinese and Western medicine, and all difficult and complicated diseases will seem like a mirage;

Triple Physique: Your physical attributes (strength, speed, endurance, etc.) are tripled;

Hunting Proficiency: Proficient in hunting skills such as trap setting, game tracking, game handling, basic archery, and gunplay.

Seed package: Contains seeds for five mu of rice, three mu of wheat, and one mu of sweet potato.

It also contains one hundred seeds of each of ten kinds of vegetables, including tomatoes, bell peppers, Chinese cabbage, bok choy, green beans, carrots, eggplants, scallions, cucumbers, and spinach.

Bonus: 200 catties of fine rice!

Sniper Rifle: Mauser 98K Rifle, with 300 rounds of ammunition included.

After carefully reading the description of the seven halos, Xia An was very tempted; he wanted them all.

"System, I want them all!"

"No, you can only choose five out of seven. Please don't be greedy, host."

"Friendly reminder: If the host does not make a choice within 24 hours, five items will be randomly selected as the host's newbie reward."

Xia An frowned slightly, a hint of dissatisfaction rising in her heart, but it vanished in an instant.

In fact, the system not only owed him nothing, but it could also be of great help to him.

Should he be dissatisfied?

Obviously not!

Xia An was self-aware and stopped worrying about it, starting to consider what to choose.
