Stargirl's guide to life in the 70s

Yu Jiang has now been able to integrate into this era very well. When Yu Jiang took out the buns made by her mother and shared them with everyone, the people in the same carriage directly treated Yu Jiang as one of their own.

Okay, I have established good relationships with the people in the same carriage. Now I don’t have to worry about encountering any troubles on the way to Beijing.

On the morning of the fourth day, Yu Jiang, who was unable to wash his hair or take a shower, finally arrived in Beijing with a stinking smell.

At this moment, Yu Jiang finally realized the benefit of having Lu Beiyuan traveling with him. At least that guy knew him inside and out, and if he needed to clean up on the train, he could have him by his side to provide cover.

As for now...

Even if it stinks, Yu Jiang can only endure it...

Fortunately, Grandpa Lu sent his own car to pick up Yu Jiang, his favorite granddaughter-in-law, so Yu Jiang's reputation didn't become so bad that everyone on the street knew about it.

As if they understood the difficulty of Yu Jiang's long journey, Lu's father and mother were at work and did not go home. Grandpa Lu, the only free person in the old house, had gone out to visit friends. Yu Jiang only heard what the guard who drove him back said, and he conveyed Grandpa Lu's words, asking Yu Jiang to have a good rest at home and wait for them to come back in the evening for the family to get together.

Yu Jiang found this very useful. He entered the house where he had lived with Lu Beiyuan before and began to clean himself up.

If she were someone else's daughter-in-law or granddaughter-in-law, she wouldn't be able to live with her parents-in-law on a normal day, but this was a rare opportunity for her to show filial piety. Plus, the Lu family had clearly stated that they would come back in the evening for dinner together, so she must have been hurriedly preparing a sumptuous dinner.

However, after having sent his father-in-law to the hospital and causing the whole family to suffer from mild poisoning, Yu Jiang no longer had the courage to go to the kitchen to cook for everyone.

And the fact that Yu Jiang couldn’t cook seemed to have become a default thing in the Lu family. Before leaving, the guard specifically told Yu Jiang that Lu’s mother had already booked dinner at the state-owned restaurant, and would bring the food back when they returned home, so that Yu Jiang must not worry about their dinner!!!

Well, Yu Jiang was not a person without self-awareness. He simply packed up his things, took out the documents he brought with him and started to deal with the things on hand.

As expected, Grandpa Lu was the first to go home in the afternoon. However, Yu Jiang also saw Lu Xiaonian, whom he had not seen for a long time. However, compared with the last time, this kid had lost a lot of weight since he was taken to the training camp by Grandpa Lu. The little face that Yu Jiang used to like to pinch was gone. However, he looked more energetic now, and Yu Jiang felt that it was not that bad.

Lu Xiaonian was particularly excited to see Yu Jiang. After all, he had heard about how powerful his second aunt was, not to mention that his second aunt had sent him a lot of good things before.

In the eyes of Lu Xiaonian, a little kid who hasn't even started primary school yet, Second Aunt is definitely the best in the world.

This time, Yu Jiang specially got Lu Xiaonian a set of board games that suit the background of this era from the time and space exchange machine. Such a new thing is unique not only in the compound, but also in the whole city of Beijing. After figuring out how to play it, Lu Xiaonian wanted to take the thing out to show off to his friends.

Unexpectedly, an old hand grabbed the back of his neck, and Lu Xiaonian was forced to stop.

"Grandfather! Why did you arrest me?"

Looking at the naive eyes of little Lu Xiaonian, Old Man Lu still did not show any mercy.

"What kind of prodigal son are you? You just take all the good stuff away! What's the matter? Are you feeling itchy at home?"

Although Lu Xiaonian didn't know why he was suddenly scolded, the majesty of Mr. Lu was enough to intimidate the whole family. His sixth sense told Lu Xiaonian that he absolutely could not go out at this moment.

Yu Jiang naturally saw what was going on. He secretly laughed at Mr. Lu, the old kid, but he gently pushed Lu Xiaonian's back with both hands and said, "You kid, you didn't even go to your grandfather for such a good opportunity. You are all novices. If you can beat your grandfather, you will brag about it for the rest of your life!"

When Lu Xiaonian heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up!

Usually, Grandpa Lu would lecture the younger generation as an elder and a person with experience. Everyday he would say: When I was doing something, you didn’t even know where to play in the mud! Or he would say that I have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice!

So now, if there is a chance to defeat Grandpa Lu, no matter what field it is in, Lu Xiaonian will brag about it for the rest of his life.

As soon as his mind turned, Lu Xiaonian's expression changed immediately. He smiled like a flower and went to find Grandpa Lu to play board games.

Mr. Lu still looked serious. He just looked at Yu Jiang with appreciation and invited the two of them to play at a bigger table on the other side.

In order to avoid being targeted by Grandpa Lu again, Yu Jiang also slipped to the backyard where some vegetables were planted. Although Yu Jiang could not cook, it did not prevent her from looking for any unlucky creatures in the vegetable garden that suited her taste.

In the end, Yu Jiang failed to destroy the vegetable garden in the backyard. He just picked a ripe tomato, washed it casually, and put it into his mouth to enjoy it.

In the evening, everyone from the Lu family who worked came back one after another, and Yu Jiang got to eat the big meal from the state-owned restaurant that Lu's mother brought back as he wished.

Mother Lu, who had not seen her daughter-in-law for a long time, expressed her great longing for Yu Jiang. Father Lu, who had been hearing about his daughter-in-law's name and people praising Yu Jiang outside these days, was also very happy. However, he was the father-in-law after all, and a person in a high position, so even though he was happy in his heart, he still suppressed it forcefully.

It would have been fine if he knew his unfortunate son was a wanderer and had no time to spend with his parents, but the young couple had only been married for a short time and yet they had so little time together!

They no longer look forward to grandchildren, they just hope that the relationship between the two little ones doesn’t break down due to being apart for so long!

Yu Jiang didn't expect that Lu's father and mother would think of those things, but he was sensitive to the fact that their attitude towards him was too enthusiastic.

Just...why do I feel like I am the same type as the kid Lu Xiaonian sitting next to me?

After dinner, Father Lu called Yu Jiang to the study. He still had some things to tell him about Yu Jiang's visit to the Beijing Research Institute.

Father Lu got straight to the point and asked Yu Jiang directly: "How much do you know about the researchers in Beijing?"

Before Yu Jiang came here, her father had briefed her on the situation of the research institute in Beijing.

Although Beijing is in quite a mess right now, with some people sticking to themselves and working hard at their jobs, there are some people who, for various purposes, will stop at nothing to stir up trouble in Beijing.

Because of these people's trouble, even places like schools and research institutes have become chaotic.

Anyway, in the words of Yu's father, those polluted places can only be described as disgusting.
