Half a life of wind and rain has broken bones, half a life of sweetness and comfort for the rest of my life. In the dog days of 1974, a bowl of white-faced steamed buns tore open the fig leaf of patriarchal preference, and a marriage contract crushed the girl Yue Lan's dream of studying. In order to get a marriage for her brother, her mother Guiying cruelly betrothed her to a lame and lazy man from a neighboring village. Yuelan ran away angrily, but pushed her young sister Yinling into the abyss of a substitute marriage.
Eight years later, Yue Lan returned with a counterattack, smashing through the dilapidation and dilapidation of the Feng family's old house with all her strength, smashing the door of the Wang family angrily to rescue Yin Ling, who had been tortured for eight years, and settling old scores with her eccentric mother and selfish brother. The two sisters rushed to the city and took root in the fireworks of a foreign land. Yin Ling made her way through needlework, while Yue Lan shouldered the burden of life and took in and raised her abandoned silly nephew Xiao Bao.
Ten years have passed, and the once timid girl has transformed into a capable craftsman, the foolish child has grown into a tall and upright young man, and the broken family has gradually broken down under the erosion of time. When the waves of wheat roll again, the footsteps of returning home hit the asphalt road, the scars of the past have already scabbed, and the bonds of blood finally break through the barriers.
From the farce in the grain drying field in Huai Village to the lights of Nuanyang Shop in the city, from the resentment of fratricide to the consummation of three generations living under one roof, this is a song of destiny wrapped in the fragrance of earth. It tells the story of the struggle and redemption of small people under the torrent of the times, and also proves that the warmth of the world can eventually withstand the wind and rain of half a lifetime.
