Tang Li, a modern female physician, was disheartened to discover that she had been transported four decades into the past, an era marked by scarcity in both sustenance and clothing. Not only that, but she also became an unattractive and overweight married woman!

To add on, she had to contend with her demanding and vexing in-laws, who seemed to be a constant drain on her patience. Tang Li's heart grew weary from dealing with their demands and she yearned to escape, but her husband, a reserved and aloof man, displayed unexpected warmth and consideration towards her, making it difficult for her to muster the resolve to leave.

"Darling, let's head home and get some rest," he gently suggested.

After a pause, Tang Li agreed, "...Alright.

"PS: (This article is 1v1, sweet pet, the heroine has space, welcome to the pit~)

70's Sweet Married Life

Tang Li carefully sifted through her stack of books, selecting a dozen that she considered essential. The literary works and graphic novels, for now, were temporarily set aside.

Despite having access to her body's unique storage space, Tang Li resisted the temptation to sneak her favorite books in there while Yi Minghuan wasn't paying attention.

Although it was a waste station and these books were collected from discarded materials, it didn't sit right with her to pilfer them like a thief.

Tang Li had a plan in mind. She intended to purchase the necessities this time, and later, when she had the opportunity, she would return to exchange food items collected in her space for books.

This way, she wouldn't have to rely on Yi Minghuan's money.

With her books sorted, Tang Li began to peruse Yi Minghuan's stack.

Suddenly, her eyes widened, and she pulled out a book in disbelief, murmuring in a hushed voice, "My God! It's 'A Thousand Golden Prescriptions,' an ancient medical book! This is..."

This was an invaluable and irreplaceable ancient medical manuscript!

Tang Li quickly suppressed her exclamation. To reveal her knowledge about this book would be imprudent and would raise too many questions.

"What is it?" Yi Minghuan, noticing her excitement, bent down to ask curiously, "Is this a medical book too?"

Yi Minghuan had picked this book because it had a unique binding, and the classical Chinese text made his head spin. He couldn't comprehend its content.

"Yes, it's a medical book! It's from ancient times. See, it's all written in classical Chinese!"

Tang Li replied, keeping her excitement in check. She looked up at him with a beaming smile and praised him, "Minghuan, you're amazing! Finding this book is an incredible find. You're awesome!"

"..." Yi Minghuan blushed slightly at her praise and turned to the side with red ears.

"Gather the books you want, and I'll call the uncle to weigh them," he said.

Tang Li happily complied. She continued to admire the ancient medical book, gently turning its pages, and then carefully set it aside. The rest of her selected books were neatly stacked into a pile.

The uncle arrived with a scale and rope to bind the books. Tang Li was worried that binding the fragile ancient medical book with the others would damage its delicate pages, so she insisted on counting it separately.

The uncle, considering it a thin book with negligible weight, waved off the charge. Tang Li felt a mixture of relief and guilt but handed the uncle fifty cents for the other twenty or thirty books.

As a token of her gratitude, she also offered him an apple she had bought.

With a smile, the uncle accepted the apple and provided them with a woven bag to carry their books.

As they left the waste station, Tang Li felt elated, knowing she had acquired a precious ancient medical book. She chatted non-stop with Yi Minghuan during the ride back.

She didn't even protest about sitting in the back!

"Hey, you're going to university, and I want to attend medical school. What if we study together, go to university together, and work hard side by side? How does that sound?" Tang Li inquired with a warm smile.

"En." Yi Minghuan nodded, his mouth curving into a gentle smile.

"Let me tell you, neither of us has a strong foundation, but we must study hard. Maybe the college entrance examination will be reinstated next year. We should always be prepared, don't you think?" Tang Li continued to talk.

"Yes," Yi Minghuan agreed wholeheartedly.

He couldn't help but admire Tang Li's enthusiasm and determination.

He felt that his wife's ideological awareness was really high.
