In 1970, the Xiangyanggou Brigade at the foot of Changbai Mountain injected fresh blood, and that year ushered in the first wave of educated youth. This group of young people is lively and active, breathing life into this otherwise peaceful village. Among them, there are three prominent female intellectuals, namely Hao Xiuzhi from Jiaodong, and Shao Yuqin and Cao Dongmei from Shanghai. Hao Xiuzhi is 19 years older and graduated from high school, while Shao Yuqin and Cao Dongmei are 17 and 18 years old, respectively. The brigade decided to arrange the three of them in a separate courtyard. However, these young people from the city faced a problem of survival, and when the fire was first lit, there was a confusion, a miasma of smoke, and the fire did not start. In the end, Zhang Guoqiang, the captain of the production team, couldn't stand it and personally helped them ignite the flame of life.
Although Zhang Guoqiang, who was 23 years old at the time, was young and did not have a high education, he was already a mature farmer. He is a righteous man and the youngest local production team leader. However, it was difficult for him to go to the dormitory of the female educated youth all the time, but fortunately, he had a childhood girlfriend who could help him take care of these girls from the city, and he barely survived the first winter. However, these female intellectuals soon broke into a catastrophe.
One day, Hao Xiuzhi and her two partners decided to go for a walk in the mountains in the afternoon when the sun was shining. However, they don't know that the mountains are dense and they can easily get lost without a guide. Sure enough, when they were about to return, they suddenly found that they couldn't find their way back to the village, and several girls were nervous. Hao Xiuzhi was older and promising, knowing that the village was on the west side of the mountain, and proposed to go in the direction of the setting sun. However, after walking for a while, they still couldn't find their way back to the village, and it was getting late that they fell into a panic.
Just when they were at a loss, there was a sudden sound of "hum, hum" in the forest, and several girls were even more frightened. Soon, a big sturdy wild boar came over with a group of piglets, several girls turned pale with fright, and Shao Yuqin sat motionless on the ground. Hao Xiuzhi plucked up the courage to pick up a wooden stick and tried to scare the boar away, but unexpectedly aroused the instinct of the wild boar to protect its cubs, and the wild boar showed them its sharp fangs. At the critical moment, Zhang Guoqing, the captain of the production team, led several militiamen to arrive. Seeing that they would be injured by the wild boar, he quickly pounced on Hao Xiuzhi. However, the wild boar bit Zhang Guofeng's left leg, and his leg was immediately drenched in blood. Fortunately, everyone helped him in time, and he was able to save his life, but he was disabled and limped while walking. The girlfriend who grew up with him, after seeing him like this, ruthlessly dissolved the engagement with the intervention of his parents.
The loss of a leg may make this big man cry, but watching his beloved woman leave made Zhang Guoqing grief-stricken and couldn't help but cry. However, unexpectedly, the three female intellectuals who were rescued by him said to him in unison: "Brother Zhang, don't cry, we are willing to marry you!."Looking at the serious appearance of the three beautiful female intellectuals, Zhang Guoqing couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Even if you are all willing to marry me?"I can't feed the three of you like this. At first, the three female intellectuals shook their heads in denial, saying that they did not need him to support them, and that they had the ability to be self-sufficient. However, in the face of Zhang Guofeng's self-deprecation, they couldn't help blushing and said in unison: "Brother Zhang, you are bullying people." ”
Later, under their continuous guidance, Zhang Guofeng gradually walked out of the haze of his soul. However, the original joke did not become a reality until 1978, when the educated youth returned to the city one after another. Good sisters Shao Yuqin and Cao Dongmei left one after another, and only Hao Xiuzhi was left in the Zhiqing Point. Later, the team won a place to go to college, but only Hao Xiuzhi was eligible. However, she stubbornly refused to go. asked the reason, and she revealed the truth: "Brother Guofeng, do you remember what we said to you at the beginning?"That's serious. Only then did everyone understand her thoughts, and under the persuasion of everyone, the captain finally agreed to marry her.
On the wedding night, the captain said emotionally: "You really don't have to give up your future for me, I don't deserve you at all, why do you insist?"Hao Xiuzhi replied shyly: "You saved my life, of course I want to repay me." Seeing the captain's shy expression, Hao Xiuzhi joked again: "What teases you, in fact, what I like is your kind heart like gold." Now, decades later, they are still happy. Their children have also graduated from college, have good jobs, and can be regarded as fulfilling their mother's dream of going to college.
