> Resúmenes de Love Story in the 1970s
To help Fei Ting meet the wedding requirement of "thirty-six legs" of furniture, Fei Ni's entire family pooled their savings. Her father even brought out his secret stash of money, which he had saved for the children over the years by exchanging liquor coupons. Since the high cost of quality wood left no money for a carpenter or a wedding banquet, Fang Muyang volunteered his own carpentry skills.
He promised to repay the family double if his work was unsatisfactory and suggested that the saved labor costs serve as his and Fei Ni’s wedding gift to the couple. Over the next month, Fang Muyang and Fei Ting worked tirelessly after their shifts. Fang designed the furniture himself, utilizing skills he had mastered through trial and error while living at a forest farm during his time as an educated youth.
Seeing his talent and dedication, Fei Ni’s mother finally began to appreciate her son-in-law. During their breaks, Fei Ting praised Fang’s resilience, comparing him to a weed that could thrive in any environment. In return, Fang asked for the leftover wood as a gift, which Fei Ting gladly granted. When the furniture was finished, its professional quality delighted Lin Mei’s parents.
After a heartfelt speech from Fei Ting promising to cherish Lin Mei more than anyone else, the couple celebrated a joyous wedding. When Fei Ni and Fang Muyang returned home that night, she found that the bunk bed in their room had been replaced by a spacious double bed Fang Muyang had built.
Noticing her shyness, he playfully invited her to test its comfort and revealed a partition board he had placed in the middle to act as a "border" to reduce awkwardness. As they settled in, they spent the evening talking and laughing. Fang Muyang even performed a monologue from Shakespeare’s "Hamlet" and an impromptu shadow play, showcasing the cultural knowledge he had gained by sneaking into the City Theater during his younger days.
Meanwhile, a project merger brought several researchers to the city, including Fang Muyang's sister, Fang Mujing, and her colleagues Ding Yang and Mr. Liu. Despite being in the same city as her brother, Fang Mujing remained focused on her research, explaining to her colleagues that people simply have different priorities in life. Fei Ting’s transition to the Publicity Department proved challenging, as his writing skills were not yet up to the task.
When assigned to write a radio interview script about a workshop’s production success, Fei Ni drafted a sophisticated article for him, using the founding of New China as a grand backdrop. However, Feng Lin from the factory office criticized it for being too high-brow and out of touch. Lin Mei then helped Fei Ting rewrite it using simple, gritty language about hard labor and sweat.
When this version reached Director Xu Hongqi, she found it lacking in depth and suggested a broader historical perspective—the exact approach Fei Ni had taken. Fei Ting quickly presented the original draft, which Xu Hongqi highly praised and ordered to be broadcast immediately. To celebrate the broadcast’s success, Fang Muyang invited Fei Ni to the rooftop for a "Great Northern Wilderness" hotpot.
He shared stories of the hardships he faced in the countryside, such as eating coarse grains and fishing in frozen lakes, and confessed that he had liked her since they were in elementary school. He explained how those experiences taught him to find joy in small things, like a bowl of "two rice." During their conversation, Fei Ni shared her own secret ambition: she wanted to study in the Chinese Literature Department and eventually become a writer. Fang Muyang warmly encouraged her, expressing his unwavering belief in her talent.
