About This Novel
The bluestone road in Luli Town winds to the Fu'an Bridge, and the eight members of the Shen family live in Daiwali, a whitewashed building facing the river. Grandfather Shen Xilin is the last old silkworm farmer in the town. He holds the silk reeling skills that have been passed down for three generations, and his fingertips still have calluses woven from bamboo strips. Grandmother Zhou Cui'e's kitchen is always filled with the fragrance of mugwort, Qingming Qingming dumplings, and winter solstice rice wine, wrapped in the tenderness of Jiangnan solar terms. The eldest son Shen Genfu is guarding the house. "Zhenhe Tea House" contains Mingqian Longjing in the tea bowl, as well as the rich stories of the neighbors; the second son Shen Gensheng brought back a camera and a B&B business concept, allowing guests from all over the place to live in the old house; the daughter-in-law Xiulian learned how to make silkworms from her mother-in-law The cocoon paintings embroider the scenery of the water town into the blue calico; the sketchbook of the granddaughter Nianwang's paintings is full of morning mist in the mulberry garden, fluorescent lights in the river bends and the bustle of the market. The little granddaughter Nianwang chases fireflies throughout the ancient town, and her crisp laughter falls on the sound of the awning boat. ? "Family on the River" takes the four seasons as its axis and uses delicate brushstrokes to describe the daily life of the Jiangnan market. Hidden in the snow-white of silkworm cocoons, the amber of rice wine, and the green of mulberry leaves are the inheritance codes of traditional skills, ordinary people's love for life, the protection of their homes, and the unchanging warmth and fireworks of water towns in the changing times.
