About This Novel
Introduction to "Watching in the Fields" In 1969, 17-year-old Shen Qinglan responded to the call, left the bustling city, and went to the remote Qingshi Village to join the queue. The huge gap between urban and rural areas and the heavy and arduous farm work made it difficult for her to adapt and she was full of confusion. Gu Jianguo, the son of the village chief, is five years older than Shen Qinglan. He is tall and strong, has a calm and determined personality, and is very prestigious in the village. When they first met, he helped Shen Qinglan carry her bags and introduced her to the village attentively. In the educated youth spot, Shen Qinglan couldn't help crying when faced with rough food and poor living conditions. Gu Jianguo silently delivered daily necessities, but just left the things and left quietly without asking for anything in return. When cutting grain, Shen Qinglan was troubled by her lack of proficiency. Gu Jianguo taught her step by step. His rough and warm hands made her feel a different kind of ripple in her heart. Food rations were divided in the village, and someone wanted to bully Shen Qinglan, a new educated youth. Gu Jianguo stepped forward and argued for her, making her feel safe and protected. On a cold winter day, he handed his cotton gloves to Shen Qinglan, who was blushing from the cold. The fingers they touched inadvertently seemed to have electric current flowing through them. As they got along more and more, they cooperated tacitly during spring plowing and autumn harvest, and walked and talked under the moonlight at night. But just as the relationship was gradually warming up, news came that the educated youth had returned to the city. The wave of reality swept them in different directions. Shen Qinglan returned to the city, while Gu Jianguo stayed in Qingshi Village.
