"Waiting in the Fragrance of Wheat" tells the story of the young love hidden under the wheat waves and locust trees between a rural girl Lin Xiaoman and a young migrant worker Chen Yuan.
Summer in Wangjiazhuang is always wrapped in the fragrance of wheat, and Lin Xiaoman's thoughts are like grains of wheat, quietly filling up while waiting. Chen Yuan is the brother next door she grew up with. Three years ago, he went to the south to make a living, leaving only a vague "wait for me to come back." In the past three years, Xiaoman has guarded the wheat fields in his hometown, his elderly elders, and the jar of sophora nectar brewed for him every year, hiding his longing in the day-to-day work.
When Chen Yuan returned from the dusty journey on his old motorcycle, with tanned skin and a new plan, under the old locust tree beside the wheat field, the unspoken feelings finally took shape. Should you go with him to travel far away, or should you stay in your hometown and live a stable life? On the field ridge filled with the fragrance of wheat, the two used the simplest language to measure the distance between love and life, and gradually understood: the best destination is never far away or in the same place, but the place where "we" are together.
