Among the first group of educated youth to arrive was a woman named Qian Mei, who had a crush on Qin Yong, who was also an educated youth.
However, Qin Yong didn't like her; the person he liked was Fang Yuying.
Fang Yuying didn't like any of them.
We just treated each other like friends.
In order to win the heart of his beloved, Qin Yong tried every means to please her every day.
After finishing his work and returning home, he didn't forget to pick some wildflowers to bring back to Fang Yuying.
Although Fang Yuying didn't like Qin Yong, she couldn't let him down.
In such an environment, it's a good thing that someone remembers her.
In fact, Yao Gang also liked Fang Yuying very much.
Thinking that everyone was under the same roof, and that Qin Yong liked it too, she buried her feelings deep in her heart.
I dutifully followed the schedule to and from work every day.
Although Laolin Village has little land, the villagers were educated youth sent to the countryside specifically to carry out construction work.
So there's still a lot of work to do every day.
For educated youth who were used to a good life in the city, such a life must have been very hard.
As time went by, I got used to it.
But just because they've gotten used to it doesn't mean they're willing to live that kind of life.
Qian Mei was the one who was least willing.
She is a rather pragmatic woman.
Their family was already quite well-off.
When she first arrived, her family would often send her things, such as money and tickets.
Others must be so envious.
But gradually it decreased, and eventually it almost disappeared.
She couldn't contact her family either and knew she had been abandoned.
In order to improve their own lives, they turned their attention to the men in the village.
Although the men in the village were peasants, they all loved their wives dearly.
We wouldn't let them do any dirty or heavy work.
Just look at those women in the village who have nothing to do, gathering in groups with baskets on their backs, and you'll know.
At first, Qian Mei looked down on such people.
She comes from a big city and lives a privileged life, so she definitely looks down on these peasants.
She said she came to the countryside to support development, but she always looked forward to the day she could go back.
Time passed slowly, and several years went by without any news of returning home.
Instead, her family cut off all contact with her.
This made her a little panicked.
She wanted to seek comfort from her sweetheart, but he wasn't interested in her at all.
She has her eye on someone else.
In order to find a source of emotional support, he turned his attention to the village.
She definitely wouldn't be interested in those older men.
They set their sights on those young men who were in their teens or under 20.
There are several people like that in the village. The one she's most satisfied with is Yuan Ping'an.
Yuan Ping'an was younger than her, but he was very tall.
Moreover, he has practiced martial arts since childhood, so his muscles are very firm.
He was not only a substitute teacher at the school, but also frequently went hunting in the mountains.
He was a man of many talents, skilled in both literature and martial arts.
As the saying goes, "A woman three years older than her husband is like a golden brick."
She felt that she and Yuan Ping'an were a good match.
It doesn't matter if she's older.
People like Yuan Ping'an are definitely in high demand.
Many women in the village with daughters were also eyeing him.
However, Yuan's mother and Xiaoxiao never mentioned this matter.
When others mention it, they all say that the child is still young and will be able to make his own decisions in the future.
Qian Mei thought that Xiao Xiao and the others definitely wanted to find Yuan Ping'an a wife from the city.
That's why I rejected those people.
Given her status, she could be considered a city dweller.
Although I've been sent to the countryside, I might be able to return to the city at any time.
Therefore, it must be Yuan Ping'an's good fortune that she was able to take a liking to him.
But before she could take action, Yuan Ping'an joined the army.
This frustrated her; she regretted not focusing her attention on Yuan Ping'an.
It wasted too much of her time.
After Yuan Ping'an left, she turned her attention to the other people.
That's how he came to know Grandma Chang's grandson.
After they became acquainted, they often ran into each other.
Grandma Chang's grandson, Chang Han, also had a good impression of Qian Mei, the girl from the city.
This girl not only has a good background and is very pretty, but she is also knowledgeable.
It would be wonderful to marry a girl like that.
Qian Mei had no intention of marrying Chang Han.
Her plan was to have Chang Han help her with some chores and bring her some good food like meat.
These people don't have the skills to hunt in the mountains. They can only buy it with money or exchange it for grain.
She has no source of income now, and there's not enough food to eat, so where would she get the money and food to exchange for meat?
Every time she smelled the aroma of meat coming from someone else's house, she would swallow hard.
Although Laolin Village has little land, after paying grain taxes each year, all that's left is sweet potatoes and potatoes to fill their stomachs.
But the people here still live very well.
They would go up the mountain to hunt, pick mushrooms, and raise rabbits.
You can still buy fine grains even if you sell them.
As far as she knew, the Chang family not only had steamed buns that combined the two ingredients, but also white rice porridge.
Meat was also consumed continuously.
Chang Han and his father were both excellent hunters, so they never lacked meat.
Since they became acquainted, Chang Han had brought her steamed buns and chicken legs.
Of course, these were all given behind the backs of others.
She wouldn't be foolish enough to go around telling everyone or let others know.
They usually eat it secretly by themselves.
She thought this was good enough, and she wished it could continue until she returned to the city.
She had a hunch that this day would come.
But she didn't know how long that day would last.
Until one day, Chang Han blushed and stammered as he confessed his feelings to her.
She was stunned when he said he wanted to marry her.
She only wanted to keep Chang Han hanging on, and didn't want to marry him.
She's going back to the city, how could she possibly get married?
Therefore, she rejected Chang Han's confession.
She also knew that Chang Han would no longer bring her anything.
I won't help her with chores anymore.
Although it was somewhat regrettable, I remained steadfast in my stance.
She wants to go back to the city; she can't stay in the countryside forever.
Although she had no interest in Chang Han, she rejected him.
But Chang Han was genuinely smitten with her.
After being rejected, he became depressed and sullen all day long.
Chang Han's sister found out about this.
She never liked Qian Mei.
They felt that this person looked down on them, these old farmers, and always acted superior.
It's one thing to dislike her brother, but she also wants to get benefits from him.
This is treating his brother like a fool and making fun of him.
So Chang Han's younger sister, Chang Xiaofen, called her best friend to go find Qian Mei.
Qian Mei was not an easy person to get along with.
The two started arguing, exchanging words back and forth.
The villagers were unaware of this matter.
After their commotion, everyone found out.
Not only did they know, but Chang Han's family also found out.
His mother was a strong-willed and shrewish woman.
How could she allow her son to suffer such a great loss?
This labor, this labor has been put in.
Food, food was given, but people said it had no meaning for him at all.
Isn't this just playing with her son?
