Li Wenzhong, a 21-year-old educated youth, would never have thought that just a momentary act of kindness would bring him an unexpected marriage.
When he heard the 11-year-old girl who was saved by himself say that he wanted to marry him, Li Wenzhong just smiled and didn't take it seriously.
In his opinion, this is just the little girl's words said in excitement, and she will definitely regret it afterwards, who would have thought that they would really get married ten years later.
In 1955, in order to alleviate the pressure of urban employment and the construction of rural and remote areas, the central government put forward the policy of "intellectual youth going to the mountains and going to the countryside".
Since then, urban youth have begun their own journey to the countryside, and Li Wenzhong is no exception.
In 1972, 21-year-old Li Wenzhong went to his farming site as usual, but when he passed by a nearby river, he suddenly heard a cry for help.
Li Wenzhong quickly ran to the river, only to find that a little girl had accidentally fallen into the water and was struggling desperately, and the cry for help just now was made by her.
When Li Wenzhong arrived, her voice was already very weak, and it was obvious that her physical strength was about to run out. Li Wenzhong didn't think much about it, and quickly jumped into the river to save the little girl.
Fortunately, Li Wenzhong can swim, otherwise, in this barren mountain and wild mountains, it would be too late for him to run to call for help, and he was relieved to see that the little girl just choked on some water and it was not a big problem.
After the little girl recovered from the fear of death, she immediately thanked her life-saving benefactor, Li Wenzhong hurriedly waved his hand, saying that he was just learning from Lei Feng to do good deeds, and he didn't have to take it to heart.
The girl looked at him with brighter and brighter eyes, and then said to Li Wenzhong that she wanted to marry Li Wenzhong in the future, hoping that he could wait for him to grow up.
Li Wenzhong was startled by the girl's words, but then he laughed again, the girl looked like she was only a teenager and didn't know how to love, she would say this probably because she was her savior, and she mistook her gratitude to her benefactor for love.
Li Wenzhong did not take the girl's words to heart, and he would leave this small village and return to the city in the future, if nothing else, the two would not meet again after he left, and the little girl would forget about him at that time.
But the little girl was very serious, and repeatedly emphasized that Li Wenzhong must wait for herself, Li Wenzhong smiled and did not give her any promises.
However, before leaving, he promised the little girl that he could help her with her homework, after all, the girl is still young, and reading is the most important thing for her.
After that day, the little girl would come to Li Wenzhong from time to time, asking him to teach her to read and write, and the girl learned to read and write, and Li Wenzhong taught her very seriously.
A few years later, Li Wenzhong was finally able to leave here, and when he left, he specially told the little girl not to give up reading and studying, only reading and studying can change her fate, and the girl nodded heavily.
In 1977, the country resumed the college entrance examination, and Li Wenzhong, who returned to the city, decided to take the university entrance examination.
It's just that occasionally I think of my life when I went to the countryside and think of that little girl.
In 1982, Li Wenzhong, who was finally admitted to the university, stepped into the school gate with excitement, and to his surprise and surprise, he saw a familiar figure at the school gate.
At first, he didn't dare to recognize it, until the little girl excitedly called his name, and then he dared to come forward and recognize the little girl, and the girl said excitedly that she didn't expect to meet him here.
She told Li Wenzhong that she had never fallen behind in her studies over the years, and that she had studied hard every day just to be able to catch up with him, and she knew that Li Wenzhong would definitely take the college entrance examination, so she deliberately chose the university closest to Li Wenzhong's home.
It's just that what she didn't expect was that they were really admitted to the same university at the same time, she has been remembering what she said about marrying him all these years, and now she finally meets him again, she thinks this is fate.
The little girl is no longer the thin appearance she was back then, she is an adult, she knows her choice very well, Li Wenzhong was moved by the innocence and sincerity of the little girl, he has not thought about her over the years, since fate has arrived, follow your heart over there.
After that day, Li Wenzhong and the little girl fell in love naturally, got married after graduation, and lived a simple but warm life.
