In the Red Star Brigade in the 1970s, Chen Weiguo, a skilled young man, was recruited from the countryside as a logistics teacher in the town middle school by virtue of his superb electrical repair skills. This broke the "iron rice bowl" dream of Wang Qiang, the son of the brigade accountant, and unexpectedly triggered two completely different emotions. Li Qinghe, a fierce and capable women's team captain, and Chen Weiguo's childhood sweethearts. She hides her passionate love in active caress again and again, but is always separated by a layer of distance because of her strong temper. Lin Xiulian, a gentle and quiet female student, has a painful life experience. Chen Weiguo's appearance is the light in her suppressed life. She approaches silently with delicate care, and a bowl of ginger soup on a rainy night warms Chen Weiguo's heart.
Rumors and disturbances followed one after another. The malicious slander by Accountant Wang and his son, and the emotional rivalry between his aunt and niece made the relationship between the three people delicate. In the end, Chen Weiguo pledged his love to Lin Xiulian with a pen. Li Qinghe ushered in a turning point in his life amidst the loss of the wheat field - he was recommended to enter the county agricultural machinery factory.
In the following years, Chen Weiguo and Lin Xiulian went through the ups and downs hand in hand, raising two sons, and living a poor but warm life. Li Qinghe rose to prominence in the agricultural machinery factory with his daring and hard work. Not only did he become a technical backbone, he also met Wang Jianjun, a technician who understood her, and gained his own happiness. As time goes by, the throbbing and regrets of the past have turned into the tenderness of the years. Many years later, the two families reunited in the wheat field, laughing and talking about the stories of the past under the sunset. They were both happy and peaceful.
