Once in time, Sun Xiaoxiao became a down-and-out educated youth who was forced into marriage by the captain's son in the 1960s and had his head broken.
When he opened his eyes, he saw the adobe house with bare walls. The smell of herbs and earth lingered on the tip of his nose. Standing beside the bed was Lu Tingxiao, a rough man with broad shoulders and narrow waist, and stern eyebrows.
He was a well-known tough guy from all over the country, and he was the benefactor who saved her life.
So what if supplies are scarce? She has a modern brain, roasting chestnuts, brewing fruit wine, and making sugar cakes, and makes her small business prosperous; so what about the rumors? Lu Tingxiao shouldered her and protected her behind him, saying "She is my wife", which made any gossip disappear.
It was helpless for a man and a woman to live together in the same room, but in the warmth of daily necessities, the hottest affection grew. He cares for her clumsily, secretly stuffing white-faced steamed buns to her, and using the retirement allowance he had saved for a long time as a gift to protect her from all wind and rain; she tenderly accompanies him, mending clothes, taking care of housework, and building a bright future with her hands.
From a hidden hawker to a well-known self-employed person, from three adobe houses to a prosperous food factory, Sun Xiaoxiao held the hand of a rough man and lived a happy life in the barren 1960s.
"Xiaoxiao, I will protect you in this life."
"Tingye, the place where you are is my home."
