Introduction to "The Fireworks Couple in Hongshan Col"
In Hongshanao, a northern rural village in the 1970s, three sisters of the Xia family - the steady Gu family Hongying, the fierce and protective Chunyan, and the quiet and elegant Qiuyue - married to the three brothers of the Gu family in the village: Tie Shuan, who is as honest as iron, Mu Gen, who is lively and talkative, and Shi Dun, who is upright and serious. As soon as the three couples were enjoying their little life, they were stirred up by the gossip in the village: Wang Xiulian's deliberate approach, Li Aihua's ulterior motives, and Zhang Qiaoyun's "accidental encounter" made the three Hongying people misunderstand that the husbands had changed their minds and angrily wanted to "get together", but they did not know that the three rough men were scratching their heads and scratching their heads to prove their innocence.
However, life is never just a farce of parents' shortcomings. When a flood came, they held hands to block the river embankment and shared half a piece of cornbread. During successive years of drought, they dug canals side by side and shared a bowl of wild vegetable soup. When food was scarce, they distributed the last handful of seeds to their neighbors, keeping people's hearts afloat despite hunger. The chaotic mutual assistance when hunting wild boar, the tacit cooperation when repairing the workshop, the rush when rushing into the county... There have been quarrels, quarrels, and fears, but they have always held each other's hands tightly in the wind and rain of the times.
From work-share ledgers to self-employment, from pickle jars to transport trucks, from night literacy classes to rural libraries, the three couples are like weeds in Hongshan Col, taking root and growing in the policy changes, turning misunderstandings into sweet wine and adversities into honey. When the spring breeze of the household responsibility system blows across the fields, when the home-made pickles are placed on the county counter, and when the children run into the school with their schoolbags on their backs, they understand: the best days are never the earth-shattering vows, but the ones you hand.
