I Became an Educated Youth in the 1960s

Tang Tang, a modern woman with a secret magical storage space acquired two years prior, is suddenly killed in a traffic accident and transmigrates into the body of a sixteen-year-old girl in 1960s Northeastern China. The original owner, a quiet girl with superhuman strength, had fled an abusive stepmother to the countryside as an educated youth. Tang Tang discovers her space and supplies are intact, giving her a significant advantage in this impoverished era.

She settles into a dilapidated house near the educated youth station, initially planning to endure until she can return to the city. However, realizing she may need to stay for over a decade, she begins making long-term preparations. She befriends the local village chief and his family, using her knowledge and resources to build goodwill. When she encounters two former soldiers, Lin Guanghui and Jiang Tao, in town, she learns of severe fabric shortages in local factories. She negotiates a deal to provide ten thousand work uniforms in exchange for forty-eight factory worker positions, dramatically improving her future prospects and helping the struggling workers.

Tang Tang purchases a house from the village collective and has it renovated with help from the villagers, who are grateful for her earlier gifts of milk powder. She integrates into village life, participating in the autumn harvest and mountain gatherings. During a mountain trip, she discovers wild pheasants, ginseng, and a hidden treasure of gold bars. She also encounters a wild boar attack, using a modern stun baton from her space to help kill the animals, further cementing her reputation as a strong and capable individual.

She continues to build relationships, helping elderly villagers and learning traditional food preservation techniques from neighbors. Her cousin, Yuan Hongwei, writes to her, and she travels to visit him, discovering he is struggling in a less welcoming production team. Moved by his plight, she offers to help him secure a factory position, showing her growing commitment to using her advantages to aid those she cares about. The story follows her adaptation to rural life, her strategic use of her magical space, and her gradual establishment of a home and community in this bygone era.
