"The Beautiful Border Village Girl Marries a Cherished Educated Youth" Please add to your collection. Synopsis:

After transmigrating, Song Xiangyu becomes a village girl in Guoxiang Village. Since childhood, she has had a rather magical ability: she can find fruits, rare flowers, and herbs in the mountains that nobody else can find.

Thanks to this ability, her family can eat fruit with every meal, and trade some of it with the villagers for grain.

When Song Xiangyu grows up, her family arranges a marriage for her with a young man from the Xu family, who live on the neighboring mountain.

On the first day of her marriage to Xu Juemian, Song Xiangyu sees how handsome and slender he is and decides that she must make sure her husband gets his fill at every meal.

What Song Xiangyu doesn't know is that Xu Juemian can eat as much as he wants without gaining weight.

He's strong and hardworking. He can catch fish, carry mud and coal to trade for salt, and take the potatoes and fruit they grow at home to the neighboring area in exchange for rice.

He also works on the communal labor teams, and every year he earns more work points than anyone else in the brigade.

After marrying Xu Juemian, Song Xiangyu enjoys a life with all the everyday necessities, along with fruit and cured meat.

They may not have a feast at every meal, but she and Xu Juemian get to roast meat over the stove every few days.

As smoke from burning pine needles curls around the pork from this year's New Year's distribution at the commune, life finally seems to hold something to look forward to.

Later, Song Xiangyu becomes pregnant, and Xu Juemian wants to give her a new house that's warm in winter and cool in summer, so he works even harder.

"The Fruit-Growing Families of the 1970s Border Village" Please add to your collection:

In her previous life, twenty-two-year-old Yu Weilu followed her aunt to the capital to work as a nanny. There, Le Liqi took a fancy to her and wanted her to be his wife.

After they married, they enjoyed a period of happiness, but it didn't last. Yu Weilu was in a car accident and was reborn in 1974.

Songlin Farm is a wonderful place. Its pineapples and bananas are golden, delicious, and sweet. After years of improvements by experts, the lychees, longans, mandarins, pomelos, and kumquats are so popular that buyers from the purchasing station compete to get them.

And that's not even counting the highly sought-after coffee, coconuts, pepper, and oil palms supplied to the provincial capital. Yu Weilu works in the fields every day, yet her life is full and full of promise.

When it's time to pick tea leaves and brew wine, she can even put on a flowered hat and lend a hand on the tea mountain.

As the prettiest girl on the farm, Yu Weilu has her share of troubles.

The educated youths sent to work at their farm, along with the local young men, all love talking to her.

They insist on making her blush, then take the basket from her hands and leisurely say, "Miss, let me help you."

Yu Weilu casually lifts another carrying basket and picks up a sickle, smiling as she tells them, "Really, there's no need."

Everyone thinks: This girl seems pretty strong, huh?

They don't dare tease her too much. Just because her parents went to work at a quarry, they can't take advantage of her.

Then one day, the older educated youth Le Liqi, reborn like her, arrives at Songlin Farm to marry her.

Yu Weilu looks at the man who took such good care of her in her previous life. Returning to his embrace in this life doesn't seem like such a bad idea.

She hears him say, "I'm taking her with me. I'll look after her from now on. As for the rest of you, you'd better behave yourselves."

Zhao Yetao thinks his embrace is so warm. Only later does she learn he's her sister's long-lost first love.

Lately, word has been going around the Shimen Island military compound that thirty-five-year-old Regiment Commander Sheng Yetian has brought back a young woman. She looks like a little girl, with frostbitten hands and a timid manner, though she has lovely eyes. When they ask around, they discover she's actually twenty-three.

Sheng Yetian's mother tells Zhao Yetao, "You can stay on the island from now on. I'll treat you like my own daughter."

Zhao Yetao obediently nods.

Zhao Yetao looks confused. "Brother Sheng..."

Sheng Yetian says, "From now on, stay with me. We'll get married."
