1990S, northern countryside.
Zhao Lei is known far and wide as the "Devil King" - he fights, skips classes, leads a group of brothers to eat and drink, and is so angry that his mother chases him all over the village. But he would give new cotton-padded jackets to his classmates who were shivering from the cold, and he would chase the teacher all over the playground for his brother who was wronged. Everyone said that he was "not a serious person." Only his mother knew that the child was not bad-hearted, but he just needed someone to take care of him.
Su Min is someone else's child - she always ranks first in grades. She seems to be quiet and quiet, but she is the "little pepper" that no one in the class dares to mess with. She could slap her classmate who was being bullied, or she could pick up a pole and chase the gangster through the streets for her younger brother. Her biggest wish is to study and become a teacher, and never rely on a man in her life.
Two people who couldn't compete with each other were brought together because of the third aunt's purchase of briquettes.
On the day of the meeting, Zhao Lei was careless and Su Min looked on coldly.
"Don't worry, I will be good to you."
"I don't need you to be nice to me, just don't mess with me."
No one is optimistic about this blind date. But no one expected that this "libertine" recognized by the whole village would quit drinking, calm down, and take care of the whole family after marriage because of his wife's words.
And the girl who vowed to "never rely on a man" gradually learned to rely on him through daily necessities.
This is a story about two young people who went from strangers to familiarity, from running in to staying together under the "parents' orders". There were laughter and tears, noisy and noisy, and there was also the unique fireworks and human touch of that era.
In that era, love was not a grand affair, but a bowl of noodles, a cotton-padded jacket, and a lifetime.
