[Military marriage of the era + Scientific research to serve the country + Marriage first, love later + Abuse and slap in the face]
Shen Qinghe, a 37-year-old professor of materials science, died suddenly. When he opened his eyes again, he became a bride in a northern mountain village in 1972.
The original owner's biological mother died young, and her stepmother forced her to drop out of school and wanted to sell her to a widower with a violent record.
In a desperate situation, the young officer Zhou Lichuan repaid his sister for saving her life and rescued her with a marriage.
The whole village laughed at her for climbing a high tree, waiting to see her abandoned by the military officers before she finished junior high school.
However, Shen Qinghe took back his mother's belongings and settled the bad debts of his original family. Starting from a plowshare that broke repeatedly, he made comparisons and found answers from failures, and gradually entered the commune agricultural machinery station, third-tier factories and national laboratories.
He gave her safety and respect, but never took opportunities for her; originally she only wanted to rely on marriage to gain a foothold, but through the exchange of letters and side by side, she saw his sincerity hidden behind the responsibility.
Later, those who had despised her looked up to see her take the national podium. Zhou Lichuan only asked:
"Qinghe, you don't need anyone to save you now, are you still willing to choose me again?"
She put the marriage certificate back into his palm: "This time, it's not for repayment, just for you."
