Taobao System, transmigration, 60s-90s
Xu Nannan, the owner of Taobao, wakes up and becomes a rural girl Xu Nannan in the 1960s.
Every day they only eat a wild vegetable chaff dumpling. Working from dawn to night, she carry a hoe and went to the field to exchange for workpoints.
The embarrassing thing is that the poor pair of trousers in the family have to be shared by the sisters.
Xu Nannan was complaining to go home.
Fortunately, her Taobao shop followed her back to the 1960s, and was finally able to do some sideline work.
Similar to I'm Free Fishing at the 60s, but less...heartwarming~
So our transmigrated into a teenage girl in the 60s. The original's parents are workers in the City, but in order to show 'filial piety', they take their nephews and nieces (sons and daughters of MC Dad's brothers) to the City to live with them while their own two daughters live in the countryside (WTH right?). Only the third/youngest daughter lives with them. What's worse is that MC and her lil sis are abused in their grandma's house, MC does the hardest work and given the least food (the original died from overwork).
So our MC immediately took up arms and rebelled against her grandma. Luckily, she took her Taobao System with her and she can buy food to feed herself and lil sis. The evil grandma tried to marry her to a fool and MC went to the City to ask her parents for help. The original's mother dislike her own daughter and thinks her nieces are more 'promising' so she didn't take care of MC. Dad is pressed down by his filial piety to his mother (ugggghhh), but since 'selling child brides' is against the law, the grandma was stopped. After MC Dad left, grandma makes trouble again and MC just leaves the family, separating her household registration from her family. MC Dad comes back again and was convinced by the grandma to write a letter of guarantee that MC and lil sis has nothing to do with their family from now on. (WTFFFFF)

MC and lil sis moved out of the house and lived near the farm where there was a delegated professor. Professor taught them and also got in touch with a former student who also works in the same Mine Factory as MC Dad to get MC a job. Laters, MC worked there and moved to the City. She got a diploma from night school, became a regular worker assigned in the Purchasing Department. Life keeps getting better and better.
MC's cousins (who lives with MC's Dad and Mom) make trouble from time to time. MC meets an old couple whose soldier son died. They adopted MC and lil sis and they changed their surnames. MC Dad finally realized that he really lost his daughters. He also starts to feel frustrated with his wife and family for constantly making trouble. And start to look after the only remaining daughter left.
MC meets ML when he saved her from a hooligan who wants to marry her in order to get the soldier's house. From then on, ML starts caring for MC thinking that none of the guys chasing her deserve her XD Finally, ML's younger brother also entangled MC and ML finally made his move! and confessed to MC~ Anyways, some minor conflicts before they get together.
On MC' s Taobao, she used it first to sell antiques which were being thrown away during this era, and then buy food, necessities etc. Laters, she wanted to do something for the country so she asked her customer to get her info on engines, steel etc. Anyways, 'backward' technology in the modern world. And then she gave it to ML to pass to the higher ups. From then on, MC became a key protection target, as well as being secretly observed to see how the 'patriotic overseas comrade' is passing information to her. ML knows its a lie but she helps cover for MC~

Anyways, more changes in the country as time went on. MC helping build the country etc. Extras is MC giving birth to three sons, MC lil sis getting a partner, ML younger bro getting a partner. MC getting pregnant and giving birth to a fourth son. Then her three older sons growing up and giving her three grandsons (one each). #SPOILER The third grandson is actually her Taobao 'customer' that gave her all the technology info in the past. MC's second son tried to develop a light brain for Taobao where you can view it in your mind, they made a sample with MC's brainwaves but it got sucked into time and space. (Guess where it went?) The End.
Like I said, similar to where in the MC talked to her future descendant thru an online store (It's just that this one has restrictions and they can't mention it to each other). Also the same, with getting technology from the future and sharing it to the government. It's just that MC has a more direct way of giving it to the higher ups because of ML's career. Unlike in Free Fishing, aside from books/documents, they also had to make the actual product appear.
Maybe because in all my previous reads, the MC was a mother/already had kids. I feel that this is less heartwarming. More MC-focused rather than family. In fact, lil sis was given little screentime, not as much as MC cousins/mom/grandma who keep making trouble. It started to became more warm near the end and at the Extras when MC's family reunited after so many years~
Read this if you like more MC (and ML) focused rather than family-centric 60s novel~
