In the era of the post-70s third brother, life in the countryside was simple and hard. The third brother was born in an ordinary peasant family, and his parents were honest and responsible farmers, who had dealt with the land all their lives. The third brother is the third in the family, and because he has two older brothers in front of him, he has been affectionately called "third brother" by everyone since he was a child.
The early morning in the countryside is always accompanied by the crowing of chickens and the barking of dogs and the curling smoke of cooking. The third brother grew up in such an environment, and he developed the habit of getting up early to work since he was a child. **Tanned by the sun, his hands are covered with traces of hard work and calluses of labor, these are silent proofs of the third brother's dedication to life.
In those years, the third brother worked as a farmer at home, and worked with the land every day, working at sunrise and resting at sunset. He knows that this land is the foundation of his life, the mother who raised him. However, as he grew older and broadened his horizons, the third brother gradually realized that although this land could give him food and clothing, it could not satisfy his deepest desire for a wife who could walk through the wind and rain hand in hand.
The failure of the blind date hit the third brother hard, and he never understood why he worked so hard, but he never reached the threshold of happiness. However, life is always full of unexpected twists.
Around 2000, the third brother saw that the people who went out to work not only brought back money, but also brought back their daughter-in-law, and a spark of hope quietly ignited in his heart.
So, the third brother embarked on the road of part-time work. At first, he worked on a chicken farm, waking up early and working late hours a day. The environment there was harsh and closed, but the third brother never complained. He knows that all this is for the sake of giving his family a better life in the future. During that time, there were almost no women in the third brother's life, but he always kept a lamp for love in his heart.
At the age of 27, the third brother's life ushered in an important turning point. He changed his working environment and came to a shoe factory. The pace of work here is tight and orderly, and everyone is busy with the smooth running of the production line. The third brother was assigned to the production line and was responsible for the assembly of the shoes. Although this was his first contact with shoe manufacturing, he quickly mastered the essentials with the hard-working spirit and studious attitude unique to rural people.
During his time in the shoe factory, the third brother not only learned new skills, but also made many new friends. They work together, talk and laugh together, and support each other in times of difficulty. However, the job at the shoe factory was not easy, and the long standing hours and repetitive movements put the third brother under tremendous pressure on his waist and legs. His feet were often swollen and painful, but he never revealed any pain to others. Because he knows that these efforts are all about making his family live a better life.
During his work in the shoe factory, the third brother also experienced an unforgettable emotional journey. He meets Li Xi, a girl who makes his heart flutter. Li Xi is not only sweet and lovely, but also cheerful and generous, sincere and enthusiastic. The third brother was deeply attracted to her and fell in love. However, the road of love is not all smooth sailing, and Li Xi has always maintained a detached attitude towards the third brother's feelings, which makes the third brother feel tormented and helpless. In the end, this relationship ended without a problem, and it became an eternal pain in the third brother's heart.
Just when the third brother thought that love had left him, fate arranged for him to meet Min Min. Min Min is the eldest of five sisters from a rural village in Guizhou. Due to her poor family, Min Min took on the responsibilities of the family from an early age, helping her parents take care of her younger sisters while also taking care of the heavy household chores. The hardships of life have made Min Min develop a good habit of being industrious, thrifty, hard-working, and introverted and gentle, and not good at verbal expression, which makes her even more unpretentious and lovable.
When the third brother met Min Min, he was deeply moved by this simple, kind, hardworking and capable girl. He pursued Min Min with his sincere heart and practical actions, and finally won her heart. After the two confirmed their relationship, the third brother took Min Min back to his hometown to meet his parents, looking at their loving and sweet appearance, and his parents showed a relieved smile on their faces.
The wedding day was one of the happiest days in the third brother's life, he looked handsome and chic in a straight suit; Min Min next to her was wearing a white wedding dress, as beautiful as a fairy descending to earth, they walked into the palace of marriage hand in hand, and made a vow of love in the blessings of relatives and friends, opening a new chapter of happy life.
