Wang Laoda (played by Liang Qinggang) from Xiaowang Village may be slow-witted, but he is honest, simple, and kind-hearted. The production team leader, Li Yongxu (played by Chen Guodian), and his wife notice that Wang Laoda lives alone and find it difficult for him. They try several times to arrange a marriage for him, but the prospective brides are deterred by his simplicity. During the three years of natural disasters, Wang Laoda meets a widow named Da Cui (played by Han Guiju), who is fleeing with her children. Despite the villagers’ ridicule, Wang Laoda marries Da Cui.
