After Moving to the Countryside, I Fell for a Pig Farmer [The 1970s]

Question: What difficulties come with not doing well in junior high?

Ma Zhiqiang thinks there aren't any, except that after becoming a pig farmer, when he wants to give a pig medicine, he doesn't know which one to use.

Question: After studying for years to treat people, how does it feel when all your patients end up being four-legged livestock?

Lin Peiyu walks into the pigsty with a serious expression. She doesn't feel any difference either; she just doesn't know whether pigs are like cows and sheep, and need to be taken out to graze.

In short, this is a warm, slow-paced story about everyday life in the countryside, with a light and mildly comedic tone.

From the male lead's perspective: With Lin Peiyu's help and mounting debts pushing him on, Ma Zhiqiang, who never finished junior high, goes from raising two pigs to becoming a major pig farmer. Along the way, he also does good deeds and helps people in need.

From the female lead's perspective: With her keen powers of observation, Lin Peiyu seizes her opportunities. Starting as a vulnerable educated youth persecuted by a villain in the production brigade, she unexpectedly exposes a long-hidden cancer at the heart of the brigade. Then, when the commune's breeding sow falls ill and the disease prevention station needs more staff, she earns a veterinary position through fair competition. She also rides the wave of the college entrance exams and becomes one of the first university students.

Much later, the two have both achieved success in their respective fields. As the gap between them grows, people in the brigade stop believing in their relationship and wonder when they'll split up.

Little do they know that Ma Zhiqiang, now a major pig farmer, often calls her in private. Curious listeners eavesdrop through the wall and get goosebumps from what they hear. The respectable ten-thousand-yuan household head is making a sappy confession: "I miss you, and the pigs miss you too."
