Lin Xiaoman was a short video operator in his previous life. When he was twenty-five years old, he died suddenly at his workstation after staying up for several long nights.
When she opened her eyes again, she traveled back to 1972 and became a little girl in the courtyard of a machinery factory.
Others thought she was soft and easy to bully, but Lin Xiaoman knew clearly that she was full of evil ideas. She had made up her mind in this life that she would never use her words to talk, and she would never confront anyone if she could be deceived.
Zhou Yu lives across the door, two years older than her.
His father is an eighth-level fitter in the factory, and he himself is a good prospect in the sports school. He gets full marks in physical education every time, but only in mathematics, he scores 38 points every year.
The adults in the factory liked to jokingly call him "Zhou Dasheng", and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this was an irony.
The two of them were destined to meet each other very early. When Zhou Yu saw her for the first time when he was three years old, he frowned and said in disgust: "She's wrinkled, like a monkey."
Lin Xiaoman remembered this sentence for fifteen years.
In the days that followed, Zhou Yu silently solved a lot of troubles for her.
The grandson of the factory director bullied her, so it was Zhou Yu who stepped forward to stand up for her; the clothes drying pole had become loose over time and fell down, so it was he who subconsciously stood in front of her.
Lin Xiaoman carefully kept the glass beads, half a piece of rubber, and a piece of candy wrapper that Lin Xiaoman had given him in an iron box when he was a child.
Lin Xiaoman saw it and teased him: "Are you collecting rags at home?"
Zhou Yu would only reply in a low voice: "You don't understand."
The parents of the two families are good friends, and their interactions are extremely close.
Zhou's mother knitted sweaters, and often "accidentally" knitted them into women's styles. She said she knitted them wrong and forced them to be worn by Lin Xiaoman;
Mother Lin stewed braised pork and sent her to deliver a bowl to Zhou Yu. She couldn't help but eat half of it on the way, and only three pieces were left in her hand.
Zhou Yu glanced at the meat in the bowl and asked helplessly: "Did you meet a wild dog on the road?"
Lin Xiaoman nodded seriously: "Well, I encountered a vicious dog."
There are no bloody house fights and no superfluous supporting characters. The straight-ball male protagonist and the jumpy female protagonist are in the same boat and have been together for twenty years.
Until one evening, Zhou Yu blocked Lin Xiaoman on the curb.
His tone was serious and a little embarrassed: "Lin Xiaoman, my bankbook is yours, and I am also yours."
"Do you accept it or not?"
Lin Xiaoman suppressed a smile: "Are you confessing your love to me, or are you here to collect scraps?"
Zhou Yu lowered his face and asked for accurate words.
Lin Xiaoman responded with a smile: "Take it."
Purpose: To depict the daily life of neighborhood fireworks in the 1970s, to tell the story of the warm love guarded by childhood sweethearts, and to convey the tenderness and sincerity in ordinary life.
