The Daily Life of a Second-Generation Military Brat Living a Laid-Back Life [1960s]

Everyone says that Xia Qinqin is a lucky girl.

As the only child in the 1960s, she wore little leather shoes, drank soda, and ate chocolate.

Her father, mother, grandfather, and grandmother all had formal jobs. They never lacked food or clothes, so why bother struggling? She would just lay back and let them take care of everything.

When she followed her mother to the island where her father was stationed, Xia Qinqin found that she could occasionally hear people’s inner thoughts.

“Sure enough, they’re the wasteful mother and daughter from the novel, always dressing up extravagantly. How much money do they even have to squander?”

“Turns out this is the cannon fodder female character. What’s the point of being pretty if she can’t even have a son?”

Xia Qinqin: I’m going to tell my mom that you’re talking bad about her!

“The cannon fodder male character is actually quite handsome. Too bad he married a wasteful woman.”

“According to the original, this male character will become a big shot. Should I go and latch onto him now?”

“Hmph, so what if you’re in a high position? You’re still unable to have a son.”

Xia Qinqin: I’m going to tell my dad!

Upon hearing from their daughter that they were the cannon fodder male and female characters, Xia Junshan and Meng Yufei were both furious…

It doesn’t matter if you’re the main character or not, no one will ruin the happy life of our little family.

In order to escape their cannon fodder fate, the couple decided to focus on their careers. As long as they grew strong enough, no one could make them cannon fodder.

So, Xia Qinqin could happily lay back and play while her parents handled the bad guys. Her most important task was to eat well!

Second Synopsis:

After following her mother to the island where her father was stationed, Xia Qinqin’s grandparents and uncle thought she would be suffering, but she didn’t feel that way at all.

Although there were no chocolates here, there were all kinds of fruits: pineapples, coconuts, mangoes… The little foodie tried them all.

There was no zoo, but when they went to the beach, she could see various little animals: hermit crabs, small sea shells, colorful sea shells… She couldn’t collect them all.

Pre-Collection Synopsis:

During the 1990s New Year, the alley was filled with the smell of candied hawthorns and roasted melon seeds.

Jiang Qingning was startled by a firecracker and suddenly remembered a past that wasn’t hers. It turned out she was living in a novel set in the past, but the story had already reached its conclusion…

She was a supporting character’s daughter, the contrast to the female lead in the side story.

The contrast daughter was naturally a contrast herself.

The female lead’s daughter had good grades and went to college. The contrast daughter’s grades were poor, and she dropped out after middle school.

The female lead’s daughter was cheerful and had strong values, while the contrast daughter was vain and had depression.

Jiang Qingning stood in the alley of Beijing, pondering how the character in the book could have lived such a failed life.

Born in Beijing, the only child of two working parents, even if she didn’t try hard, the rental income from their two properties would have been enough to live comfortably.

In order to avoid the tragic fate in the book, Jiang Qingning decided she had to make an effort to change the contrast character’s destiny.

Step one: Change the first-generation contrast character!

If the first-generation contrast character becomes successful, then the second-generation contrast character will change too!

She didn’t want to be the second-generation contrast character, she wanted to be the rich second generation!
