Let a master's degree in economics who returned from the United States be a rural primary school teacher, this is not a big joke for Qin Zihe. But he still accepted that although the failure of the Dahewan Dam had nothing to do with him, Wang Guozhong's death filled his heart with deep guilt, and he wanted to atone for his sins in this way. More importantly, his mother, Qin Ying, used to be a teacher in a rural primary school, because of a flash flood, she sacrificed her gorgeous life to save students who fell into the water, Qin Zihe was only 6 years old that year. That's why he decided to work as a rural primary school teacher for three years to continue his mother's unfinished business.

However, fate once again played tricks on Qin Zihe, when he took out the private money given to him by his aunt to turn the school buildings of the three dilapidated thatched cottages in the backing township into bright brick houses, and when he ran the primary school prosperously, a paper order transferred him to the township reservoir to become a reservoir patrolman, and the township chief's brother-in-law, who had just graduated from high school, a newly recruited private teacher took his place, he left angrily and returned to the United States.

Soon after Qin Zihe went to Dahewan Township as an assistant to the township mayor, Xia Mei graduated from the health school and was assigned to the township health center as a nurse. Although the township axe was only separated from the health center by a wall, it was three months before Qin Zihe saw Xia Mei for the first time.

That day, Xiao Wang, the water conservancy office in charge of Qin Zihe, suddenly had appendicitis, and he and several people from the water conservancy office sent him to the health center for first aid, and this was the first time he saw the young and beautiful Xia Mei. Fortunately, although the conditions and equipment of the township health center are simple, a minor operation like appendicitis can still be done, and Qin Zihe's heart was relieved.

When he saw Xia Mei, who was wearing a nurse's uniform and a white mask, only revealing a pair of beautiful big eyes, Qin Zihe's eyes couldn't help but light up. Qin Zihe also heard about a beautiful little nurse coming to the township health center, and the organization assistant of the party office, the enthusiastic eldest sister Li, told him several times, saying that this little nurse was a match for him and wanted to introduce him to a partner. In Qin Zihe's heart, how beautiful can a nurse in a rural health center be, with his vision in the United States for so many years, and he has no idea of finding a partner in the countryside at all, so he politely rejected Sister Li's kindness. When he wanted to take a few more looks, the beautiful little nurse passed by him and hurriedly walked into the operating room.

A few days after Xia Mei was assigned to the township health center, she learned that there was a master's degree in the township axe who had returned from studying in the United States, and in this era of advocating knowledge, she was also highly educated, and she was very curious about it, and always wanted to see what this master's degree in economics looked like when she came back from the United States, but she never had the opportunity to see it.

Once when she got off work, Xia Mei saw a young man with an otherworldly temperament talking to Township Chief Song from a distance, and couldn't help but stop. Later, Dr. Wang, who came out of the health center, said that the young man was Qin Zihe, who had returned from the United States, and then walked past her with a different smile.

Qin Zihe's temperament is obviously different from these township cadres, with a height of about one meter seventy-five, a slightly thin suit on his body is very decent, and his body is full of elegant scholarly atmosphere, standing with township cadres makes people feel like they stand out from the crowd, although their faces are not clear, they must give Xia Mei a very handsome feeling.

Qin Zihe, who was speaking, glanced at Xia Mei unintentionally, although Xia Mei knew that she was not looking at her, her heart jumped up "suddenly" like a deer, making her feel like a thief, her little face turned red for a moment, and she quickly turned her head and ran away in a hurry.

When the enthusiastic Sister Li first found Xia Mei and said that she wanted to introduce her to Qin Zihe, her heart jumped happily all of a sudden, although she was very satisfied with Qin Zihe, but the reserved psychology of the female surname made her make the opposite decision, saying that she was still young now, and personal problems would not be considered for the time being.

Sister Li's enthusiasm is invincible, and after repeated "bitter mouth" persuasion, Xia Mei finally nodded with a red face and half a push. However, Sister Li persuaded Xia Mei but failed to convince Qin Zihe, and never appeared in the health center again, Xia Mei gradually turned from excitement and expectation to disappointment. In her mind, it must be that Qin Zihe didn't take a fancy to herself, Sister Li didn't introduce her and was embarrassed to come to see her, and she couldn't ask Sister Li anything, so she was very disappointed.

In the corridor of the health center, Xia Mei was sure that the person was Qin Zihe at first sight, when he saw a spark burst out of his eyes, her heart jumped inexplicably, she didn't dare to look at Qin Zihe more, and hurriedly walked past him, although she didn't look back, she could feel the hot gaze behind her.

Xiao Wang's operation was very successful, and in the evening, Qin Zihe held a banquet to thank the medical staff, and he and Xia Mei finally sat face to face. The folk customs in the countryside are simple and good for wine, whether it is the cadres in the township, or the doctors and nurses in the hygiene, they are basically not drunk and do not return. Qin Zihe drank an average amount of wine, and was first poured down by everyone as a toast. Xia Mei was a girl because she was young, and no one persuaded her to drink, so she was the most sober one at the table, and the task of sending Qin Zihe back to the dormitory naturally fell on her shoulders.

Since then, the two have gradually become familiar with each other, and they have more contacts. Qin Zihe lives in the dormitory of the township political axe, and Xia Mei's family is in the city and lives in the dormitory of the health center. After cooking, Xia Mei often went to clean Qin Zihe, washed the sheets, quilts and clothes, and when it was time to eat, she made a tender and sweet meal in the dormitory.

On the night of the dam failure, Qin Zihe was in a coma due to overwork, and the secretary of the municipal party committee died in the line of duty, and the city was in chaos, and he knew nothing about these things. When he woke up in the health center the next day, he learned the news, and when he heard that Secretary Wang Guozhong had died in the flood fighting and rescue work, his eyes turned black and he fainted.

Under Xia Mei's careful care and care, Qin Zihe's body slowly recovered, and during the period of hospitalization, the two finally pierced the layer of window paper and clarified their relationship. But before Qin Zihe was discharged from the hospital, he was transferred to Gushan Township as a primary school teacher with a dismissal order.

Subsequently, Xia Mei's parents transferred her back to the people's hospital in the city to work through her connections, and the primary school in Gushan Township did not even have a telephone. Xia Mei's transfer back to work in the city was the result of her mother's promise to give her daughter to the son of the health director, and when her mother found out that she had a boyfriend in private, and the boyfriend was a teacher at a rural elementary school, she immediately and decisively controlled her, and the two lost contact.

Qin Zihe saw that all his letters were lost in the sea and there was no news, and he couldn't find anyone who called her, he didn't know the situation at Xia Mei's family, thinking that she had changed her mind, and with his surname with strong self-esteem, he never contacted Xia Mei again, until he returned to the United States in a fit of anger, and a relationship ended in vain.

Until this time, Qin Zihe didn't know if Xia Mei had changed her mind or because of something else, he had returned to China many times over the years, but he had never set foot in Huihe City, which was sad, and he had never seen Xia Mei again. In fact, Xia Mei fought resolutely with her family, and when she won the final victory and went to the backing township to find Qin Zihe, Qin Zihe had already returned to the United States.

After this heavy blow, Xia Mei devoted herself to her work, continued to study and study, and did not consider personal marital problems at all, and finally became a well-known surgeon in the Provincial People's Hospital. When Qin Zihe's plane crashed, she was personally performing a heart bypass surgery, and her heart twitched inexplicably, she thought she was tired, so she asked the nurse to wipe the sweat on her forehead, straightened up and wanted to stabilize herself, but her heart was inexplicably irritable.

A loud thunder woke Qin Zihe from his memories, and when he thought that the dam collapse was about to happen, he became anxious, and hurriedly asked Xia Mei: "Is Secretary Wang of the Tongjiang Municipal Party Committee on the Huihe Dam?" ”

Xia Mei said: "Yes, Secretary Wang and Secretary Bai of our city are on the dam at Dahewan, I heard that the flood has washed away two gabions in a row, and they are directing on the spot to protect the last gabion!" ”
