When Jiang He married into the Chen family, they only got two leaky thatched houses and a few acres of thin farmland. Her mother-in-law has been bedridden for a long time, and her husband, Chen An, has been working hard outside to support the family all year round, leading a poor and difficult life. She rolled up her sleeves and learned to reclaim wasteland and tend crops. She went to the river every day before dawn to wash and starch clothes, and she also spun and weaved at night.
During the busy farming season, Chen An was accidentally injured and returned home. Looking at his wife's tanned face and rough hands, he felt guilty. Jiang He smiled and comforted him, and boiled the eggs he saved frugally to replenish his health. The two supported each other during the difficult years, turning wasteland into fertile farmland, and thatched huts into brick houses. However, just as the good days began to improve, a flood swept through the village and all the hard work was ruined. Facing the difficulties, they held each other's hands tightly, determined to rekindle the hope of life in the ruins, and poured out their happiness with sweat and love.
