The Space-Time Boss: 1970s Revolution

Chapter 188: Dragon Boat Festival...

In 1974, Fu Xiao turned 14, but the disappointing part was that she only grew 3 centimeters. Now standing at 153 cm, she still measured above average for her age, but when compared to Fu Hong, who had shot up again, she felt dwarfed.

Fu Hong aspired to join the military. Getting a spot wasn't difficult, but Grandpa Fu insisted that he should complete his high school diploma before enlisting. Thus, Fu Hong entered high school, beginning his new academic journey.

Fu Weilun became increasingly busy with work, while Fu Yu thrived in his city job, earning the favor of his superiors. Though the Fu family never practiced arranged marriages, this year, Li Xiufen grew noticeably troubled. Many people inquired about Fu Yu's marriage prospects, and several city girls even sent people to the village to gather information. The constant attention annoyed Li Xiufen.

This year passed swiftly...

In 1975, Fu Xiao turned 15. Her facial features matured, making her even more attractive. She grew another 5 centimeters, now standing at 158 cm. Meanwhile, Fu Hong entered his second year of high school. When Mu Lianshen visited, he brought the latest recruitment news, and Fu Hong was just in time to enlist. Though he still had six months before graduation, the school allowed early diplomas for those who passed their exams. Fu Hong's military enlistment was thus set in motion.

At 19, even Fu Yu, who had previously been nonchalant about relationships, was beginning to feel pressured by his mother. She started sending him letters, urging him to find a partner. Each time Fu Xiao helped her aunt write these letters, she couldn't help but laugh. Fu Yu's replies always remained the same: "I'm busy."

In 1976, a series of heartbreaking events unfolded. Three of the nation's most significant figures passed away one after another, sending the entire country into a period of deep mourning. The atmosphere in Dashan Village grew solemn, and many elders, unable to bear the grief, fell ill. Grandpa Fu was no exception, suffering a severe illness.

That March, chaos erupted in Beijing. This unrest continued for a long time, but ultimately, it marked a turning point for China, heralding the arrival of dawn before the nation's rebirth. Soon, the dragon's roar from the East would echo across the world...

PS: Some details have been modified from actual history, so please take note!!

I'm sure everyone can tell where the differences lie.

At 16, Fu Xiao had grown to 160 cm, now a young woman with refined, delicate features. Her small face seemed sculpted by a master, with perfect facial proportions. Her captivating cat-like eyes, though soft and endearing, always carried a sense of cool detachment. Her nose was sharp, and her pale, cherry-colored lips added to her fragile appearance, evoking a strong protective instinct in others. Yet, her beauty held a distant, aloof quality, making her aura unique.

Fu Xiao's abilities had also grown stronger. Both her mental and healing abilities had reached level five, and her mental power was now capable of controlling someone's thoughts and actions. Her academic performance remained outstanding, and she rarely needed to attend school anymore, simply waiting to take her exams to receive her diploma.

As another Dragon Boat Festival arrived, Fu Xiao found herself enjoying leisure time in Dashan Village. She was lying in Grandpa Fu's deck chair in the front yard, napping peacefully. Half-asleep, she vaguely heard someone calling her name. The familiar environment made her feel at ease, and without opening her eyes, she instinctively murmured, "Hmm?"

Her voice, soft and drowsy, was quite different from her usual tone when she was fully awake.

Fu Yu chuckled softly and nudged her. "Xiaoxiao, wake up..."
