In 1989, Shen turned sixteen.
In the courtyard of the agricultural machinery factory, she was known as the "little sun". She laughed wherever she went, and the neighbor's aunt would pinch her face when she saw her: "This girl, did she grow it when the sun hit her face?"
In the spring of that year, He Yue moved into the courtyard next door.
Eighteen years old, from southern Anhui, studying at factory middle school. The first time they met, he was squatting at the entrance of the courtyard unloading his luggage. He dropped his torn snakeskin bag on the ground, raised his head and grinned at her: "Hey, classmate, which way is the supply and marketing cooperative going?"
Shen Man showed him the way and thought: This man's smile is so dazzling.
Later she discovered that he could laugh better than she did!
