"Liu, Song, it's you," said Xu Deming with some surprise when he saw the two of them.
The man was Liu Kaile, and the woman was Song Li, his college classmates.
Back in college, the four of them got along quite well.
After graduation, Xu Deming returned to Cang County to develop his career due to his parents' poor health, so he could take care of them.
Jiang Qiuping, being from the same county as Xu Deming and not wanting to separate from him, followed him back.
In a small county, there wasn't much prospect for development.
Apart from official departments or public institutions, other private enterprises didn't offer much opportunity.
As college graduates, they could only find some of the most ordinary jobs.
Eventually, they saved some money and opened a supermarket.
Fortunately, the supermarket business was doing well, which was much better than working outside.
Once the two returned to the county, they gradually lost contact with their classmates.
