[1970s] [Strong Female Lead] [Military Industry] [Period] [Sweet Romance] [Career]
(Fictional setting, don't overanalyze! The male lead is a rough country fellow at first, but later turns into a clingy, adorable husband!)
Xu Yunshu, a mechanical engineering PhD from M University, returns from studying abroad only to be sent down to Chenjia Village.
Blueprints? Fluid mechanics? Piano? All useless skills now. It's like being sent back to before liberation overnight!
"Girl, can you sew?"
"I can weld."
"Young lady, can you farm?"
"I can fix tractors."
"Comrade, can you make a bulletin board poster?"
"That I can do!"
The women's director stared at the poster, dumbfounded. "What is this?"
"An aircraft structural diagram. Don't like things that fly? I can draw things that run on the ground, too!"
"And what's this?"
"A tank..."
Starting from scratch in the countryside is harder for Xu Yunshu than scientific research!
"Teacher Xu, why is black smoke coming from your house?"
She'd boiled her porridge until it turned into scorched rice...
"Teacher Xu, why are your hands covered in cuts?"
Corn leaves pack quite a punch...
"Teacher Xu, there you are again. Why aren't you saying anything?"
Running into each other at the outhouse? No need to say hello...
Has Xu Yunshu's field of expertise gone from precision instruments and machinery to... the Eighty-One Methods of Agricultural Machinery Repair and Improvement?
Just as her life was getting back on track, a burly man awkwardly sidled up to her. "Teacher Xu, would you like a boyfriend?"
"?!"
Before Xu Yunshu could react, a transfer order sent her into a top-secret military industrial project...
(GB is welcome, and other pairings are welcome too.)
