Educated Youth in the 1970s: Forced to the Countryside, I Found a Boyfriend

You can treat this as a parallel world, just don't compare it to real life. (I'm very concerned with staying alive!)

The story is mainly about a local educated youth who heads to the countryside and meets the right person to start a family with. There's no angst or terrible in-laws. There are a few lucky breaks later on, though, otherwise the heroine might never make any money. Without a bit of luck, given her intelligence... things would look bleak!

To avoid being set up on blind dates, Wu Jiumiao secretly leaves home to join the educated youth sent to the countryside.

Wu Jiumiao: How am I supposed to harvest peanuts if I can't see any? The fields are full of leaves.

Xiao Zhuo: The peanuts are underground. You have to dig them up.

Wu Jiumiao: They grow underground?

Xiao Zhuo: That's right.

Wu Jiumiao: Why are you called Xiao Zhuo? It sounds so strange.

Xiao Zhuo: ...Because my family hopes I'll grow up strong and healthy.

The leads meet, the heroine makes her move at lightning speed, they get married, open a shop, and have a baby.

A story that's equal parts hilarious and wonderfully bizarre...
