> Resumos de Dream of Golden Years
In 2015, Xia Xiaolan achieved the title of sales champion for the second quarter, receiving a certificate and a bonus for her outstanding performance. However, her success sparked intense jealousy among her colleagues, who whispered that she only secured high-quality clients through an improper relationship with Mr. Gu. Xiaolan understood that rumors were born from envy, but she believed that backing down would only be seen as an admission of guilt.
The scene shifts back to 1983, where Xiaolan found herself cornered in a secluded alley by three thugs. They harassed her, calling her a "loose woman" from Dahe Village and mocking her supposed relationship with a man named Zhang Erlai. Just as the situation turned physical, Zhou Cheng intervened, making quick work of the men.
After being released from the police station, a grateful Xiaolan accompanied Zhou Cheng to a clock shop to buy an alarm clock, hoping it might trigger her return to her original time. However, she suddenly fainted. While unconscious, Xiaolan experienced memories of the body's past. She recalled suffering heatstroke in the fields and being cared for by Wang Jianhua, a young man from Beijing.
The original Xiaolan had developed a naive crush on him, a sentiment the modern Xiaolan found foolish. When she woke up in the hospital with Zhou Cheng by her side, she expressed her skepticism about "love at first sight." Despite her cold outlook on romance, she noted that Zhou Cheng was warm, considerate, and knew how to maintain proper boundaries. Zhou Cheng insisted on driving Xiaolan back to her village, using his headlights to illuminate her path home.
Her uncle, Liu Yong, initially mistook Zhou Cheng for a harasser and moved to confront him, but Xiaolan quickly cleared up the misunderstanding. To thank him, the family prepared dumplings, but Xiaolan’s family noticed she had seemingly forgotten how to wrap them, adding to the sense that she had changed significantly since her recent head injury. That night, Xiaolan set her new alarm clock, desperately hoping to return to 2026. Instead, the loud ringing only succeeded in waking her family.
Frustrated, she wondered if the timing was the issue, as she had originally arrived in the 1980s during the afternoon. The next day, she and Liu Yong met Zhou Cheng and his companion, Xiaowei, in town. After delivering the thank-you dumplings, they shared an elaborate "One Fish, Four Ways" meal at a restaurant. Zhou Cheng’s sophisticated knowledge and open admiration for Xiaolan’s "vitality" made Liu Yong uneasy.
Suspecting Zhou Cheng was a smuggler dealing in illegal goods, the uncle later warned Xiaolan not to be fooled by the young man's handsome face. Later, Zhou Cheng found Xiaolan selling duck eggs and was impressed by her unconventional business sense. She used modern sales strategies, such as bulk discounts and giving away small onions, and spoke of concepts like "primitive accumulation" and "market research."
During their conversation, Xiaolan noted that the malicious gossip following her was likely the work of her cousin, Xia Ziyu. Back in the village, the slander regarding Xiaolan’s reputation reached a breaking point, leaving her mother, Liu Fen, in tears. Refusing to hide, Xiaolan decided to fight back. She investigated the original body's belongings and realized the "scandal" with Zhang Erlai was a trap involving a forged note with mismatched handwriting.
Meanwhile, Zhou Cheng did his own investigating, using candy to gather information from local children about Zhang Erlai’s reputation as a notorious harasser. Determined to end the rumors, Xiaolan went to Shipozi Village to confront Zhang Erlai directly. She arrived to find her uncle, Liu Yong, already teaching the rogue a lesson. In front of a crowd of villagers, Xiaolan boldly stood her ground and exposed how she had been tricked. She argued that as an innocent victim, she had no reason to live in shame, effectively turning the tables on her accuser and the gossiping public.
