In the late 1980s, in western Jiangxi, the source of the Yuan River was dotted with large ridges. The most famous and tallest mountain among the mountains was called Wugong Mountain. The top of the mountain had rugged rocks and was shrouded in clouds and mist all year round. The middle part of the mountain was densely covered with forests and towering ancient trees.

There is a small town at the foot of the mountain, where hundreds of families have lived for generations.

In winter, most of Wugong Mountain at this time has been covered with layers of ice and snow. Only some green pines on the steep stone walls dance from time to time under the attack of the mountain wind, throwing away the ice and snow wrapped around them. In an instant, Qiong

The jade dissipates, the snowflakes dance, and occasionally a gust of mountain wind blows over, and suddenly a layer of white mist rises. It disappears and appears, and the mountain peaks that look like they have been cut by a knife rise straight into the sky. Wait until the clouds and mist gradually dissipate.

After that, a huge cliff gradually appeared in the middle of the mountain. This cliff is called Qianzhang Cliff. The so-called cliff is thousands of feet long, and the eyes dare not look down. Normally people almost dare not stand on the edge of the cliff and look at it. However, in this ice and snow, there is a pair of cliffs.

The young man and woman are leaning against the cliff. Looking at the expressions of the young man and woman, it seems that there is no joy or happiness in love. Instead, we can see the melancholy on the young man's face and the worry on the young woman's face!

This young man's name is Zhan Hui. He is 25 years old. His family lives in a small mountain village at the foot of Wugong Mountain. He is the eldest of three siblings. After graduating from high school, due to family difficulties, he was unable to continue his studies and had to stay at home to do farm work and help others.

Parents raise younger siblings.

The young woman's name is Yang Kexin, she is about the same age as Zhan Hui, but she has three golden flowers in her family, namely her 20-year-old sister Yang Keyi and Yang Kehui who are still studying. The sisters lost their mother when they were young, but their father has not remarried, and he is still a father.

Motherhood brought them up together. They lived in the same village and grew up together. They were childhood sweethearts and childhood sweethearts. Therefore, the two of them followed the example of their predecessors and had already made a private engagement for the rest of their lives.

The two of them had been standing on the edge of the cliff all afternoon, and their hands and feet clinging to each other were numb from the cold. However, they did not feel any fatigue because they knew that no one could separate them. Even if they chose to die, they would die together!

At this time, "Sister...sister..." Suddenly, my sister Yang Keyi's cry was faintly heard behind me!

The two raised their heads and saw their sister Yang Keyi climbing up from the side of the cliff with difficulty, following the footprints in the snow. She walked closer and said to the two of them with a white breath: "Wang Xiaojun and his father are looking for you together. You two are here."

What should I do?"

When Yang Kexin heard this, her face turned even pale and she looked at Zhan Hui helplessly.

Zhan Hui looked indifferent, his heart was in a state of confusion, and he had no idea.

The Wang Xiaojun, Zhan Hui, and Yang Kexin mentioned by Yang Keyi both grew up in the same village. Wang Xiaojun’s father was the head of their village, and his mother worked as an accountant in a state-owned unit in the town. Their family was relatively wealthy since they were young, and they lived a life without worries about food and clothing.

, but when Wang Xiaojun grew up, he also fell in love with Yang Kexin, the gentle and beautiful eldest daughter of the Yang family. Taking advantage of some of the family's financial advantages, he invited a matchmaker to come to the Yang family to propose marriage.

At that time, in rural areas, young people's marriages were basically decided by matchmakers and parents. When Yang's father saw the matchmaker and Wang Xiaojun come to propose marriage, he naturally agreed and was busy arranging for his eldest daughter's marriage!

Unfortunately, Yang Kexin's ideal husband was the moneyless and powerless Zhan Hui. Although Zhan Hui fell in love with Yang Kexin, his family was in a difficult situation and he was unable to afford the bride price and went to Yang Kexin's house to propose. At this time, he could only look sad and sigh to the sky!

So the two of them made an appointment to go to Qianzhang Cliff, and if their family forced them to get married, they would commit suicide by jumping off the cliff together!

At this time, her younger sister Yang Keyi, who had been fierce and willful since childhood, said: "If it were me, I would leave and go to a place where they can't find them!"

"Go?" They both asked in unison: "Where to go? Where can we go!"

"You guys! You know love, love, there is nothing you can do! I heard that young people nowadays are going to the south to work. Many new factories have been opened there. They go there to find a job. After making money, they are still afraid

Our father won’t agree to what you’re doing?”

Yang Keyi has known everything about Zhan Hui and her sister Yang Kexin since she was a child, and she sympathizes with them. The words she spoke at this time were like a bright lamp in the dark night, lighting up the torch in their hearts!

Zhan Hui secretly thought: Although he has never gone to college, his mind is still easy to use. He usually likes reading and can write well. He has been doing farm work with his father since he was a child. He has strong hands and feet and a strong body. He should be able to make a difference when he goes out.

, you can find a job, but there is no future in staying in a small mountain village. Instead of watching your sweetheart be snatched away by Wang Xiaojun, why not...?

Yang Kexin looked at Zhan Hui anxiously, hoping that he could make a decision. She had to know that she had secretly liked Zhan Hui since she was a child, but now she couldn't make up her mind!

Zhan Hui said: "I have also heard that many young people from the mountains go to work outside, but I am not very familiar with their situation."

Yang Kexin said: "It's best to have some acquaintances there, so that we can follow them and save us from making detours."

Yang Keyi then added: "I heard that a man named Hu Jiankai from the neighboring village just came back from the south. Why don't you ask him about the situation there?"

"Then let's go find him and ask him!" Zhan Hui said.

After saying this, a few people started going down the mountain to look for Hu Jiankai.

Hu Jiankai, whose parents died when he was young, grew up with his uncle. He is in his thirties but unmarried. He has short hair, deep-set eyes, prominent cheekbones, and a medium but strong build. It is not difficult to see from his weather-beaten face that he has suffered a lot in recent years.

The vicissitudes of life, as early as the early days of the opening up of the south, he went to the south with the blind people to make a living. He just suffered from the fact that he had not studied much and did not have much education. In addition, he was honest and honest. Although he had been working in the south for several years, he still did not have much.

His achievement is said to be just being an ordinary worker in an electronics factory over there;

In the evening, Zhan Hui and several other young people sat around the small fire-burning kang in Hu Jiankai's house and chatted excitedly. The flames in the kang seemed to be igniting the blazing ambitions of these young people!

A few people were chatting, but Hu Jiankai suddenly said: "When I first went there, the environment was not something ordinary people could bear. I can't describe it, nor can I describe the situation there;"

Zhan Hui immediately expressed his position: "No matter how hard it is, you can endure it by yourself! No matter how tiring the work is, you can do it by yourself! Brother Hu, just take us there with confidence!"

At this time, Zhan Hui naturally just wanted to take his sweetheart out as soon as possible, find a job, live in both places, and live a free and easy life. How could he know the cruelty of reality?

Hu Jiankai sighed and said: "If you insist on going, I can take you there, but whether you can adapt to the life there depends on your own luck. If you want to go, come with me after the Spring Festival. Over there

Factories usually recruit workers at this time."

"Then we must go!" Zhan Hui looked at Yang Kexin and said firmly.

Immediately, several people made an appointment to leave after the Spring Festival!

When the Yang sisters returned home, they told their father tactfully what they thought. When Father Yang heard that his two daughters were arguing about going to the south to work, he became angry and yelled at his daughter: "What? Going to the south to work? Yes."

Where? If you don't marry into a good family, you just mess around with that poor boy, and now you're making trouble about going to the south to work!"

Yang Kexin lowered her head and said nothing, tears rolling around her eyes, but her heart was beating with anxiety, and she looked helplessly at her sister Yang Keyi.

Yang Keyi explained to her father in a sweet voice: "Dad, you are so old. You can't always do farm work. At present, there is development in the south and a lot of workers are needed. We went there to find a job, and we can make money and come back later."

I’ll support you!”

"I don't care so much, but I won't agree to your going anyway! Wang Xiaojun's family has sent you gifts, what should I do?" Yang's father said stubbornly.

"Dad! The trend is different now. Now the South has reformed and opened up. It is not like our backward economy and serious urban and rural consciousness. Now that we are old, we should go out and see the world!" Yang Kexin said.

"I have really worked hard for you sisters. Your mother died early. Back then, so many people came to me to be matchmakers, but I insisted on never marrying again. Now that you are older and have stronger wings, you know that you want to be on your own.

If you decide, you have to leave me behind and fly away, right?" Father Yang said sadly.

"That's not the case. We only want to make money when we go out to honor our father. Why would we ignore you?" Yang Kexin said to her father sincerely.

"If you want to honor your father well and not make me angry, then you should sever ties with that boy named Zhan and marry Wang Xiaojun!" Father Yang said sternly.

"You want me to break up with Zhan Hui? It's impossible to marry that Wang Xiaojun!" Yang Kexin said angrily: "Even if I break up with Zhan Hui, there is absolutely no way I will marry Wang Xiaojun!"

"What's so good about that boy named Zhan? How can he be as good as Wang Xiaojun?" Yang's father was even more furious: "Wang Xiaojun has an urban household registration, he eats commercial grain, his family is rich, and his parents have already agreed. As soon as you get married,

In the past, I relied on connections to help you transfer to urban household registration, and also helped you find a temporary job in a factory in the town. By then, you would no longer need to do farm work in the farmland, and you could also live the life of a city dweller! You

Look at how many people want to marry him but still don't like him, you don't know what kind of blessings your ancestors have accumulated to make him fall in love with you!"

"I don't care. I would rather follow Zhan Hui to farm the fields, raise chickens and ducks..." Before Yang Kexin could finish her words, Yang's father raised his hand to strike, but Yang Kexin did not dodge.

, seeing his daughter being so determined, Yang's father's slap stopped in the air again.

"Alas! What happened to me that I raised such a useless and stupid daughter like you? Don't you know how hard it is to do farm work?" Yang's father said sadly;

"Uncle! Kexin, Keyi!" That Wang Xiaojun had arrived at Yang's house at some unknown time.

"You're here, sit down, sit down!" Father Yang wiped his eyes and offered his seat to Wang Xiaojun.

As soon as Yang Kexin saw Wang Xiaojun come in, she was about to go out.

Wang Xiaojun said expressionlessly: "Yang Kexin, I heard everything you just talked about. I didn't expect that I am worthless in your heart. As the saying goes, forceful melons are not sweet, and I will not force you. Listen.

If you say that you are going to go to the south to work with that Zhan Hui, I have nothing more to say, I can only wish you the best!"

Hearing what Wang Xiaojun said, Yang Kexin stopped again and said softly: "I know you are good to me, maybe it's because we are not destined. Thank you for your blessings to us! I also hope you can find a girl who is more suitable for you.

!”

Zhan Hui also walked in at this time and said: "Uncle! I can promise you that I will treat Kexin sincerely. When we make money and come back in the future, we will definitely honor you!"
