Protagonist:

Chai Mi

Chai Mi went home once; though it couldn't be called a bountiful harvest, the trip was not in vain.

She took revenge on Chai You De and reclaimed that piece of land behind the mountain. Although the soil quality wasn't great, the location was large enough... and most importantly, many years later, because of the high-speed railway construction passing through that land, Chai You De and his wife received a substantial compensation in her previous life, living like kings as villains.

So even if keeping it was useless, or if the high-speed railway didn't pass there due to some changes, it didn't matter. Better to fight for pride than steam buns for nothing—beating down the arrogance of Chai You De and Chai Zhongxiao, those two old men, was also good.

At the village entrance, someone drove a tractor from the road; the driver seemed to see Chai Mi not far ahead, slowed down, stopped in front of her.

Chai Mi stepped aside, thinking she was walking in the middle of the road and getting in the way, but the tractor stopped on its own.

A man wearing a gray coat, cloth shoes that fit his feet, and somewhat greasy gloves stopped the vehicle and looked at Chai Mi.

Chai Mi, preoccupied with her thoughts, didn't react at first until the man spoke: "Chai Mi, carrying big and small bundles, where are you going?"

Chai Mi then came back to her senses.

She glanced sharply; the man's complexion was somewhat dark, obviously from wind and sun all day, but not very ugly... he looked all right, with sharp features and strong arms; even sitting in the vehicle, one could tell he was tall, about 1.8 meters.

Looking closer, a big back hair...

Hiss!

Together with the tractor, Chai Mi remembered; this man should be the village chief's eldest son, Liu Zhijing.

"What's wrong? Don't recognize me?" Liu Zhijing asked with a smile.

Chai Mi hehed a smile: No no no, at your age, sporting a Zhou Runfa-style big back hair, too recognizable; how could I not recognize you.

"This isn't Da Zhi..."

In the Northeast, boys of this era generally had nicknames, such as Ergouzi, Sanluzi, Dazhuzi, Sibian'gua, using all the familiar names of the animal and plant kingdoms.

As for why Liu Zhijing's nickname was Da Zhi, perhaps because his name had the character "zhi"... and since he was taller than his peers, he was called Da Zhi.

If shorter than peers, he'd be called Xiaozhi.

Seeing Chai Mi actually recognize him, Liu Zhijing couldn't help but be overjoyed...

Instantly felt hot blood boiling, full of energy.

In this moment, Liu Zhijing lost himself...

Chai Mi didn't know Liu Zhijing had so many complex psychological changes. Chai Mi's home and Liu Zhijing's were relatively far apart in the village; Liu Zhijing lived on the front street, Chai Mi on the back street, rarely intersecting.

The village's interpersonal network was actually intricate, with relatives and friends, neighbors and fellow villagers, seeing each other daily, having some face.

Although Chai Mi hadn't seen Liu Zhijing much, she still knew of him.

The village chief's eldest son...

Elementary school dropout...

Basically left school at eight or nine, the kind of brat who herded cows and couldn't count them. But Chai Mi also knew Liu Zhijing wasn't a fool; he knew some characters when grown up...

He was quite capable, knew how to live...

It was just... his spirit wasn't good; in his previous life he remained a bachelor to the end; when asked why he didn't marry and have children, he always affected profundity, saying things like: some people are desirable but unattainable...
