1975, Qinghe Water Conservancy Project construction site.

He Zheng is the team leader here, in charge of thousands of laborers. His word is law.

He's spent ten years building river embankments and weathered every storm imaginable, until a new canteen accountant arrives at the work site.

Shen Mingzhu, twenty-three, round-faced and bespectacled, her abacus beads clacking away.

She graduated from a proper finance school, knows her work inside out, and is even stricter about the rules.

Three liang of rice and two liang of meat. Not a single qian more, no matter who asks.

The first time He Zheng tries to get an extra serving, she pushes up her glasses. "It's not like you're going hungry."

When He Zheng tries to claim an extra blanket, she pulls out the regulations. "Clause three, article seven: personal bedding is issued according to head count."

He Zheng stands at the canteen door watching her do the accounts. She looks up. "Don't you have anything to do?"

No one at the work site isn't afraid of He Zheng.

Except this little accountant. She isn't afraid of him.

What's more annoying is that there's nothing he can do about it.

Until one day, He Zheng discovers she's secretly using her own wages to give the laborers extra food,

while hiding in a corner and chewing pickled vegetables herself.

He watches her from a distance for a long time and thinks:

How can this girl be so lovable?
