Nie Qingqing was the Nie family's most beautiful youngest daughter. She divorced and returned to her parents' home. Her older brother and sister-in-law were very good to her, taking great care of her. Nie Qingqing also had a clear understanding of her situation: no matter how good her brother and sister-in-law were, staying at her parents' home was not a long-term solution.
Nie Qingqing's mother said: "Your aunt says their machinery factory has a new factory manager parachuted in. He's a university graduate, sent abroad on a public scholarship, a key technical person at the main factory, transferred to the branch as the factory manager. He has a high salary, is capable, and you're pretty, so she wants you to meet him."
Nie Qingqing still had a clear understanding of her situation: "With such good conditions, an unmarried young girl could find him. Why would he want to meet me?"
Her mother said hesitantly: "Your aunt says he's a bit old and a bit ugly. When I asked her about it, she thought he was suitable for her but not for you, but he has a big house and a high salary."
Nie Qingqing made the decision: "Marrying a man is about having clothes to wear and food to eat. Let's meet him."
Song Zao started his education late. After his family was politically rehabilitated, he took the college entrance exam. After graduating from university, he entered the main factory specializing in technology. Two years later, he was sent abroad on a public scholarship, returned and was promoted to chief engineer, then transferred to become the branch factory manager. Not good at socializing, his personal life dragged on until he was thirty, and he couldn't delay it anymore.
The old uncle who took care of him said: "I asked the aunt who works in the factory cafeteria. She has a niece who just divorced, only twenty-six years old, and is undeniably beautiful. She handles both home and outside matters well. If you want to focus on technology and turn the branch factory from loss to profit, you need to settle your domestic life, so go meet her."
Song Zao said: "With such good conditions, a young bachelor could find her. Why would she want to meet me?"
His uncle: "She's too fierce, no man can stand her. I even asked her ex-husband, who said she would tie people up and whip them with leather whips in the middle of the night..."
Song Zao interrupted: "It's not a problem if we sleep in separate rooms after marriage. I'll go meet her."
At the blind date venue, Nie Qingqing saw a handsome man, tall and well-built, mature and steady, but didn't see her own supposedly old and ugly blind date partner.
At the blind date venue, Song Zao waited for a long time and only saw a young, beautiful, gentle, and kind girl, not the fierce woman he was supposed to be meeting.
'Seventies Rural Family' has been published, synopsis:
In 1976, Lin Jiangran's parents were taken away by the Red Guards. Their house was about to be confiscated, and she had nowhere to go. She wandered around the blind date market and discussed with the first suitable unmarried young man: "Sir, I'm also here for a blind date, would you like to meet me?"
The man across from her nodded and asked her: "I'm not a local. Before coming here today, I was transferred back to my hometown commune to be the security chief. I live in a rural tile house. You're a city girl, can you accept my situation?"
Rural? What's the countryside like? She had heard her family's maid mention it, saying that the neighbors were harsh, life was difficult, and people who came from the city didn't want to go back.
She was afraid the man across from her wouldn't like the truth, so she picked out the good things to praise: "The countryside is good! You have your own plot of land, can grow vegetables to eat, save money. There's plenty of land, and the air is fresh. I'm willing to go back with you!"
Lin Jiangran married from the city to the countryside. Her husband's hometown, Dahe Village, was quite nice. There were many fish and shrimp in the river, and many mountain fruits. It wasn't a big village, only about ninety households. The new village leader was capable, and although life was hard, the neighbors were harmonious and helped each other. In such a small village, she also paved an increasingly successful path for herself.
