In the northern heavy industrial city in 1985, there were 28 big bars running on the streets, and no secrets could be hidden in the tube towers. Su Ruanruan, the fake daughter who was kicked out of her home, moved into a single dormitory with Huo Jianguo, the retired security section chief. There were piles of briquettes in the corridor, and lard residue was boiling in the iron pot. Neighbors said it was impossible to live this life. Huo Jianguo remained silent and handed over his entire monthly salary of 40 yuan. Su Ruanruan used an old sewing machine to make fashionable clothes and set up a stall at the night market. The young couple lived a sweet life in poverty in the chaotic courtyard.
