In the Northeast snow of the 1970s, the Zhu family's adobe house was steaming. The sloping land allocated to the family was rough on the feet, and the cold faces of grandparents and uncles were cold and heart-warming, but Zhu Changshan and his wife and their two sons just relied on hoes and sweat to dig a way out of the black soil. The little girl Zhu Yan is the family's favorite. She grew up eating sugar cakes, but she is also used to seeing her family's hard work. She learned to read and work from there. There is no bloody entanglement, only the simplicity of the black earth. See how the Zhu family went from being short of food and clothing to a full granary, and see how Zhu Yan and Zhao Yang lived side by side over the years, leading a life that everyone in Backing Village envied.
