About This Novel
After graduating from high school, urban girl Jiang Xiaolan went to Qingshan Village to join a team and met rural youth Cheng Weidong. One is an educated youth from the provincial capital who is full of poetry and literature, and the other is a self-taught tractor driver. The two met and fell in love while repairing farm machinery. When the college entrance examination was resumed in 1977, Jiang Xiaolan was admitted to university and left the countryside. The two made a promise but had to separate. Four years later, Jiang Xiaolan graduated from university and returned to the county to teach, and reunited with Cheng Weidong, who had become a technician at an agricultural machinery factory. Faced with family resistance and identity differences, they broke through numerous obstacles and came together. When Cheng Weidong was seriously injured while rescuing collective property, Jiang Xiaolan proved her choice with her unwavering protection. With the spring breeze of reform and opening up, Cheng Weidong resolutely resigned from his old job and founded an agricultural machinery repair shop. From a simple workshop to a small factory, the couple worked together to seize the opportunities of the times and write a legend of struggle for ordinary people in the years when the locust flowers were fragrant.
