The 1960s: The Story of a Country Girl's Journey to the City

Bao Ya went to bed early yesterday. When she woke up, she heard a heavy sound in the yard, so she got up and went to check the situation.

"What's wrong with you?"

Bao Ya was startled when she saw the mud figure in front of her. Did she go and roll around in the mud? Does she think she's Peppa Pig?

"The car got stuck in a mud pit last night."

Jiang Yuan was so uncomfortable from being covered in mud that he didn't have time to say anything. He stripped off his clothes down to his underwear and rushed into the bathroom to take a shower.

When Bao Ya saw that it was him who had returned, she didn't ask any more questions. She went back to her room, changed into the new dress that she had just finished making yesterday, and prepared to make breakfast.

Outside the courtyard, Widow Qin, accompanied by several people, had arrived at her doorstep and pointed to the shoe prints on the wall.

"Look what this is! I knew it! I just saw a guy climb over the wall and go in. Now it can't be wrong, right?"

Widow Qin raised her chin and told everyone that as soon as she opened the door, she saw a man climb over the wall on this side. At first, she thought she was seeing things.

Even if her eyes were playing tricks on her, her mouth wouldn't stop. As she walked this way, everyone on the street knew that a man had climbed over Bao Ya's wall.

"There's no movement inside. If someone had actually gone in, Lin Baoya would have beaten them up long ago."

One of the women said that she had witnessed Lin Baoya beating up hooligans, and that the young woman was just as fierce as any man.

"Tch~, only strangers fight. What if they already know each other? If an old flame comes knocking, who cares about fighting?"

Widow Qin curled her lip and said sarcastically. She cursed the idiot inwardly; she'd said so much and he still didn't understand, insisting she spell it out so clearly.

"You're talking nonsense. Jiang Yuan is still at home. If someone else went in, would he be happy about it?"

"Jiang Yuan doesn't seem to be home. They went to the countryside to collect pigs yesterday and didn't come back last night."

When everyone heard this, they were shocked. Could it be that what Widow Qin said was true? That this young wife couldn't even endure one night?

For a while, everyone had different opinions, and they huddled together in twos and threes, whispering among themselves.

"Widow Qin, what nonsense are you spouting? Do you think everyone is like you?"

Xie Laidi saw them gathered at Bao Ya's door and went over to listen. She heard them saying that Bao Ya was having an affair, which she could tolerate.

Since becoming a full-fledged employee, her intimacy with Bao Ya has increased dramatically, and she can't stand others slandering Bao Ya like that.

"I'm not lying. I saw it with my own eyes. To be honest, this isn't the first time. I've seen it several times before when Jiang Yuan was working the night shift."

Widow Qin craned her neck and spoke in a low voice to the crowd. Her expression suggested she was revealing some earth-shattering secret.

"Nonsense! Didn't you say the person went inside? They shouldn't have left yet. Why don't you knock on the door and see if the person you're talking about is there?"

"Yes, Widow Qin, knock on the door and see. Didn't you say you saw it just now? It shouldn't have left yet."

"Yes, yes, let's knock it open and see..."

Everyone urged Widow Qin to knock on the door, while they themselves hid back.

Everyone still vividly remembers Shi Zhenxiang and Granny Zhou knocking on the door last year. It's only a little past five o'clock now, and no one dares to go up and knock on the door.

When asked to go up and knock on the door, Widow Qin was a little annoyed. She wanted someone else to knock, never thinking of knocking herself.

She's not stupid; what if Lin Baoya rushes out and hits her?

"Go knock on it! Didn't you swear there was a man inside?"

Seeing her hesitation, Xie Laidi became persistent and insisted that she go and knock on the door.

Everyone agreed with Xie Laidi's point and chimed in, urging Widow Qin to knock on the door.

Not only did Widow Qin not knock on the door, she also backed away. Seeing this, Granny Zhou blocked her way and prevented her from leaving.

Bao Ya boiled four eggs and cooked a pot of millet porridge in the kitchen. She put it on the table as soon as it was done, intending to wait for it to cool down before eating.

Upon entering the room, I saw Jiang Yuan, who had just finished showering, looking for clothes in the closet.

He came out of the bathroom wearing only his underwear, shirtless, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and well-defined, not exaggerated, muscles. She hadn't really gotten a good look at him in all this time since they'd been married.

Bao Ya licked her lips, and as if possessed, reached out her devilish little hand and patted his waist twice. Tsk tsk, feels good.

Jiang Yuan, who had his head buried in the closet, was startled by her touch. He slowly turned around and saw his wife with a smug, wicked smile on her lips, looking every bit like a little hooligan.

"What, are you lusting after my body?"

Jiang Yuan lost interest in finding more clothes. He turned around, pulled his wife over, and held her tightly in his arms.

"Touching you a couple of times is a favor from me."

Bao Ya was in a good mood today and was in high spirits, so she spoke without any restraint.

"Really? Then, since I've behaved well, will you be kinder to me?"

Before Bao Ya could say anything, he scooped her up in his arms and carried her to the bed.

The couple were playing around inside the house, completely unaware of what was happening outside the door. Just as they were getting into the mood, there was a knock on the door.

"Bang bang bang!"

The sound was quite loud, but neither of them wanted to pay attention. They kissed passionately, neither wanting to separate.

"Bang bang bang!"

To his surprise, the knocking on the door didn't stop, and it grew louder and louder, as if it was trying to smash the door open.

"Who's knocking on the door so early in the morning?"

Bao Ya pushed Jiang Yuan away, wanting to tell him to go out and take a look, but this guy hadn't found any clothes yet.

Outside, Xie Laidi saw that Widow Qin was about to run away, so she knocked on the door first. The people surrounding her blocked her way, making it impossible for Widow Qin to leave.

If what she said is true, then let's all watch the show. If it's not true, it wouldn't be bad to let Lin Baoya teach this widow Qin a lesson.

To everyone's surprise, Xie Laidi knocked twice but there was no response from inside. The previously guilty Widow Qin suddenly became more assertive.

If Lin Baoya didn't cheat on her husband, why wouldn't she dare open the door? She must be hiding something.

There was no need to thank Laidi anymore. Widow Qin waved her away and went over to knock herself, and the more she knocked, the more enthusiastic she became, as if she had already caught Lin Baoya in bed with him.

Widow Qin was knocking with great satisfaction when suddenly the door opened from the inside. She wasn't paying attention and stumbled forward, almost falling inside.

The person inside didn't let her fall in; instead, he grabbed her clothes and pushed her out forcefully, causing Widow Qin to fall backward.

When the people behind her saw her coming, instead of catching it, they stepped aside. Widow Qin took two steps back, lost her balance, and fell to the ground, covered in mud.

"Are you crazy, knocking on my door so early in the morning? If you break it, can you afford to pay for it?"

The familiar recipe, the familiar taste, and it's still the same Lin Baoya.

Upon hearing her voice, everyone instinctively took a step back.

Widow Qin was pushed down and was about to curse when she looked up and saw Lin Baoya coming out. Her timid expression suddenly turned into a tough one.
