Fan Youlin went to Ping'an Village after graduating from high school.

Fan Youlin skipped grades throughout her studies, so she was the youngest among the educated youth who went to the countryside, at only sixteen years old.

Fan Youlin had two pigtails, wore a white shirt, army green pants, and a Lei Feng hat on his head.

Although he was dressed similarly to the other educated youth, Fan Youlin had a childish appearance and was not very tall, so he looked like a child wearing adult clothes.

When Qian Changsheng drove a tractor to pick up this group of educated youth to their village, he saw the skinny Fan Youlin and couldn't help but say, "Kid, how old are you? Why are you going to the countryside too?"

"I graduated from high school." Fan Youlin puffed his cheeks and said unconvincedly, "I am young because I skipped a grade."

She had finished high school, her father worked in a research institute, she had no place to continue her studies, and couldn't find a suitable job, so she came to the countryside.

Fan Youlin brought a lot of things with her. Qian Changsheng looked at her thin and small figure and lifted his sleeves, "Little one, let me do it."

Qian Changsheng helped the young educated youth carry their luggage to the educated youth center. He exerted force with his arms, and his muscles bulged. A gust of wind blew, revealing his abdominal muscles faintly visible under the hem of his clothes.

Fan Youlin opened his eyes wide and looked at Qian Changsheng's muscles quietly.

The only weak scholars she had met before were weak scholars, but she had never seen anyone like Qian Changsheng.

Having worked in the fields for many years, his skin is dark and his full muscles show that he is full of infinite vitality.

Originally, Fan Youlin thought Qian Changsheng was dark and ugly, so he didn't look at him carefully. But now he looked at him very seriously.

Qian Changsheng has well-shaped sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. The determination between his eyebrows and eyes is unforgettable. It’s a pity that his hairstyle is too heavy, making him look dull.

Qian Changsheng felt a little embarrassed when he saw Fan Youlin staring at him intently.

"Little educated youth, the luggage has been moved. I'm leaving first."

He tried to leave, but someone grabbed his pants.

Qian Changsheng was startled, "What are you doing?!"

Because the tie of his trousers was a little loose, he was scared to death. There was only a pair of underwear with holes in it, which would be too embarrassing if it was exposed.

Qian Changsheng quickly took back his pants, held them up with his hands, and looked at Fan Youlin warily.

Fan Youlin was startled and quickly let go of her hand, saying softly, "I'm sorry, I just wanted you to stay. Thank you for helping me carry my luggage."

Fan Youlin had some candy with her, and she relied on the candy to get people to help her carry her luggage along the way.

Fan Youlin usually gave people two or three candies. Now she reached into her purse, took out a handful of candies and placed them in front of herself.

When Qian Changsheng saw Fan Youlin grabbing a handful of candies, he felt a little embarrassed. He turned around and quickly re-tied his belt.

Turning his head, Qian Changsheng took the initiative to say, "I'm sorry, my voice is a bit loud, I didn't mean to scare you." After a pause, he said, "Open your palms."

Fan Youlin opened his palm.

Qian Changsheng only took one candy, and he held it in his palm. "One candy is enough for me, you can keep the rest. Now that you are here, don't be so loose-handed. Life in the countryside is not that easy."

In recent years, many educated youth have gone to the countryside. They were originally fair-skinned and tender city dwellers, but soon they became no different from rural women.

Qian Changsheng reminded Fan Youlin to hold his hand tightly and not just give him a handful of candy for moving something.

If there are a lot of things, two or three will be enough.

Perhaps it was because Fan Youlin looked too young, like a little sister who knew nothing about the world, so Qian Changsheng gave her a few more instructions.

Before leaving, Fan Youlin reminded Qian Changsheng, "Eat some candy."

Qian Changsheng shook his head: "I have a younger sister at home, I'll leave the candy to her."

Qian Changsheng felt that after this time, he would no longer have any contact with the young educated youth.

The educated youth and the villagers in the village are two different groups. Some young people like the educated people in the city and will get close to the educated youth, but Qian Changsheng is not someone who likes to join in the fun.

Qian Changsheng's family was burdened with heavy financial responsibilities, and for this reason, his family could not afford much in terms of dowry. He had to rely on doing work for the girl's family to win her favor.

Qian Changsheng worked silently at home and also went to work at the homes of people he visited.

That was the way it was in the village at that time. If you were introduced to someone and thought they were a good match, you could keep in touch with them.

If the man's family can offer a high bride price, the marriage will be completed quickly.

If a young man doesn't have much money, he will go to the girl's house to work in order to show off.

In those days, most people came from difficult families.

Qian Changsheng had already forgotten the name of his fiancée. He could barely even remember his own lover, so how could he remember these details?

It was these details that made his memory begin to revive, and he really thought about the past.

What Qian Changsheng didn't expect was that in Luosangsang's narration, he thought that he and Fan Youlin were two parallel lines in that year, but he never thought that from the age of sixteen to seventeen, Fan Youlin was actually observing him silently.

One time, the female educated youth were discussing which young man in the village was handsome.

Fan Youlin suddenly said, "Qian Changsheng."

All the educated youth were slightly stunned, but Fan Youlin, who was combing his hair, said firmly: "I think Qian Changsheng is the best."

·

The two of them officially started to have contact after Qian Changsheng's engagement was broken off.

Qian Changsheng had been helping the girl's family for a year, and logically they should have been able to discuss marriage, but the girl dragged her feet for a long time and finally wanted to cancel the engagement.

The girl wanted to marry an educated youth from the capital, and refused to give an explanation to Qian Changsheng, who had worked in his family for a year.

Moreover, the woman said a lot of words to belittle Qian Changsheng.

"If you really want to marry our daughter, why don't you prepare the betrothal gifts early? If you send us bicycles, sewing machines, and wardrobes, how can we not marry our daughter?"

"What did he give our daughter? Wild duck eggs from the ditch, wild pheasants from the mountain, and dead snakes. Are our family members so short-sighted? Would we marry our daughter to him for a few dollars?"

"We said it during the Chinese New Year that if you want to make this happen, you have to be sincere. But what is your sincerity? You continue to act deaf and dumb and come to work."

Fan Youlin once heard such a thing. He was washing clothes, so he threw his clothes aside and said, "In this area, there are only two families who gave away big items like sewing machines and wardrobes. There are 2 families getting married this year. The other 108 families are men who go to the woman's house to help. Generally, they get married after helping for half a year. Your family has used others for a year, and in the end you are here to say that others are not sincere. You are the only one in this area!"
