Transmigrated as My Aunt in the 70s

Ever since those four people fell from power, the entire country has been like a tree in spring, bursting with life. Pedestrians on the streets also exuded a brand-new look, with every day bringing new changes.

And there were more people engaging in private trading, many well-connected individuals with the right background aimed for this big juicy opportunity. Whoever acted first could get a big slice of the pie, and He Xuewen and Yang Wenbin were naturally full of enthusiasm.

After returning from Shanghai, He Xuewen planned to make a trip to Guangzhou. Since selling clothes last time, he had only been there once or twice, each time earning tens of thousands of yuan—not too much, but not too little either.

Now that the restrictions from above had relaxed a lot, he would not be as cautious as before. He would earn as much as he could, sensing that China was about to welcome a brand new era. He needed to save up money!

This time, Sisi went with He Xuewen. She had always wanted to see what Guangzhou, especially Shenzhen, was like in the ’70s—a poor little fishing village that would become a bustling city in the future, she had heard.

Actually, she could encourage He Xuewen to buy some properties or land in Shenzhen now. Those would be worth a fortune later on. Even without doing any work, just renting out properties would be sufficient; the life of a landlady was indeed tempting!

She used to have a classmate of a classmate who was from Shenzhen, extremely wealthy. His family did not work; his father’s daily activity was just to collect rent because they owned 30 houses, all rented out to migrant workers in Shenzhen. Rent was collected monthly, so there was always something to do every day.

At the time, she was incredibly envious when she heard about it. Although she herself later became a landlady, when compared to this classmate of a classmate, she felt like a minor witch before a great sorcerer!

Guangzhou in ’76 was somewhat simplistic, but relatively bustling. By this time, actually quite a few people in Guangzhou were running small businesses because state-owned stores were too scarce and expensive. So, the government opened a few areas allowing farmers to sell agricultural and sideline products. It was said to be open, but in reality, sales were only allowed on the first and tenth day of the lunar calendar. Even so, those days were lively, with crowded streets and many people buying goods.

He Xuewen still went to meet his old partner, A Ji. A Ji no longer worked personally; he had taken in about twenty younger followers, carrying quite the air of a big brother.
