Description:

In the bustling market, a steady stream of people flows by. Ding Shi-Tou, who has just returned from working in the city, stands on the stage and announces to the folks of Xiayagou that he will form a quarrying team and go to Yuanyang Mountain to mine marble! Young men and women sign up one after another, and the quarrying team quickly gets to work. Qiao Yun and Xiu-Lan both harbor affection for Ding Shi-Tou, and Xin-Hua, deeply in love with Qiao Yun, has no choice but to ask Shi-Tou for help. So Shi-Tou and Xiu-Lan agree to pretend to be a couple. Seeing Xin-Hua's smug look, the disappointed Qiao Yun fiercely lashes him with a whip. Accountant Ding Ming-Li is pursuing Xiu-Lan, and when he sees her always with Shi-Tou, he cannot help but burn with jealousy. Using the excuse that the team has not paid the contract fee, he wants to cancel the contract. The young people work together to find a way to raise money; Qiao Yun and Xin-Hua stage a "fake engagement," and with the money "tricked" out of it, they make up the contract fee. Gradually, Qiao Yun develops feelings for Xin-Hua. Ding Shi-Tou realizes that in an age of competition, one must have knowledge, so he sets up a literacy class and asks Xiu-Lan to be the teacher. Shi-Tou and Xiu-Lan, spending days together, truly fall in love. The team works on the mountain for several months but finds no trace of marble, and everyone begins to lose heart. One day, from a freshly blasted pit, a cool spring gushes out. Although the team did not find marble, they unexpectedly discovered a mineral water source. Shi-Tou decides to use this high-quality mineral water to establish a "Yuanyang Cola" factory for the benefit of Xiayagou. Ding Ming-Li once again abuses his power to obstruct them, but Shi-Tou and the team members unite and fight for their rights, finally winning. The young men and women also find the most precious love of their lives. With their sincere love for their hometown and life, the youth of Xiayagou compose a "Village Romance."
