The eldest sister, Liu Qiaoying, who has been there, also knows that Gao Jialin's heart is higher than the sky, and there are difficult dragons in the shallow pond. Sooner or later, he will leave this remote village. So Liu Qiaoying persuaded her younger sister Liu Qiaozhen not to be dazzled by love, let alone give up her body and mind in a hurry, but Liu Qiaozhen didn't care at all.
Gao Sanxing likes the youngest girl of the Liu family, and urges Gao Minglou to go to the Liu family to propose marriage for him. But Gao Minglou still has self-knowledge, knowing that Gao Sanxing is too mediocre, and he is completely unworthy of Liu Qiaoling, who is good at studying and outstanding in appearance. If it weren't for his prestige in the village, how could Liu Liben be willing to marry his eldest daughter.
Thinking of this, Gao Minglou resolutely rejected Gao Sanxing, and silently lamented that Gao Yude had a good life. Considering that Gao Yude was still worried about his son's marriage, Gao Minglou approached him privately to inquire about his attitude, and finally decided to replace the Gao family as a matchmaker with the Liu family, but was turned away.
On the other hand, Liu Liben took the initiative to find Ma Shuan, apologized sincerely to him, and expressed that he preferred him as his son-in-law. After all, in Liu Liben's view, even if Ma Shuan failed the exam, he could still find a way out, and now he still runs a large-scale porcelain firing factory, which shows that he is a good guy with business acumen. But Ma Shuan sincerely wishes Gao Jialin and Liu Qiaozhen happiness, and believes that having faith is more important than being rich.
Gao Jialin and Liu Qiaozhen were sending the younger sister back to the county seat, when they suddenly heard the beating of gongs and drums. According to the reputation, it was Xiangxiang who got married, and the groom looked a little foolish. Liu Qiaozhen couldn't help shouting Xiangxiang, and sure enough, Xiangxiang, who was wearing a red hijab, came back to her senses, lifted her hijab with despairing eyes, and followed the groom like a walking dead.
This incident was commonplace for the village, but it caused waves in Gao Jialin's heart. Sitting alone on the hillside, he looked at the continuous mountains in the distance and was lost in thought. Liu Qiaozhen supported Gao Jialin to leave Dashan for a career, and she was willing to stay to raise children and serve the elderly, Gao Jialin couldn't bear it.
Since Gao Shuangxing lost his source of work and began to live a difficult life of steamed buns soaked in water, Chen Xiuli took some fish from home to help Gao Shuangxing, but she dared not tell her parents that she was in love, lest they would get angry if they knew her boyfriend was a child from a poor family. Gao Shuangxing couldn't help feeling inferior when she learned that Chen Xiuli's mother wanted her daughter to marry a Shanghai native.
The second uncle Gao Yuzhi applied to be transferred back to his hometown from the Xinjiang Military Region to serve as the director of the labor bureau in the upper-level district of Kuanzhou County. When he returned to his hometown in a jeep, all the people in the village gathered at the intersection to warmly welcome them, or to watch the big cadres. Ma Zhansheng nodded and bowed with his company throughout the whole process, and Gao Minglou was hospitable to entertain the villagers. Villagers poured into Gao's house one after another, and the threshold of the broken cave dwelling was trampled to pieces. It was the first time in history that Gao's house was so beautiful.
Gao Yude brought his younger brother to his parents' grave to pay homage. He originally wanted him to help find a job for Gao Jialin. Unexpectedly, Gao Yuzhi strictly abided by organizational discipline and refused to smuggle the back door with power. However, in order to please the new director, Ma Zhansheng promised Gao Jialin in private that he would arrange a job for him in the shortest possible time.
Zhang Kenan invited Huang Yuping to come to his house for dinner. Huang Yuping couldn't bear the temptation of hairy crabs, but how did she know that Zhang's mother was urging them to get married at the dinner table. Huang Yuping had no feelings for Zhang Kenan, but Zhang's mother was eloquent and too enthusiastic, which made her feel uncomfortable after a meal, and she couldn't immediately clarify the relationship between them.
Shanghai Pujiang University issued ID cards widely. Gao Shuangxing learned about this through his classmates, so he wanted to use the opportunity of submitting the application form to change back to his real name in an open and honest manner. At first Chen Xiuli was a little surprised, but seeing Gao Shuangxing liked the name so much, she also felt happy.
Ma Zhansheng collaborated with Gao Minglou to operate in violation of regulations, taking advantage of the long-abolished "work instead of work" policy, and unknowingly arranged for Gao Jialin to enter the county party committee's Propaganda Department as a communications officer. Gao Jialin was ecstatic, and hurriedly shared the good news with Liu Qiaozhen. The next day, he went straight to the county seat with his luggage and bag on his back. Unexpectedly, the leader of the communication team was his former teacher Jing Ruohong.
Not long after, heavy rains caused floods. Although the fertile land and livestock suffered heavy losses, fortunately, the people were safe and sound. Gao Jialin accompanied everyone to Hushan Town for reporting. He witnessed the tragic scene in the disaster area and the devotion of the county magistrate Qin to put himself in the shoes of the people. He gradually realized the responsibility and mission of the reporter.
