The description of life in Beijing's hutongs is very realistic, and unknowingly it seems like seeing my own childhood again. The difference is that this book is set in an earlier era, not long after the founding of the People's Republic of China, when women were still literacy. Literacy brought about subtle changes, but the fundamental reason why Li Guoqiang returned from his lost path was actually worried that his career would be ruined by a romantic affair that "did not lead to a son." Assuming that the mistress was pregnant, it is estimated that even if he was punished by the organization, he would try his best to see if he could have a son. But fate is kind. The mistress is not pregnant, there is a warning in the organization, the poor wife is suddenly literate and seems to have a common language, and the mother before her death told her to be nice to her and not to force her son - several factors are combined, and Li Guoqiang's prodigal son returns without money, and everyone is happy. At the end, the seventh child was still a daughter, five golden flowers + the two children (a son and a daughter) who died young during the period. Although Li Guoqiang reluctantly gave up his obsession, he did not know the conditions for contraception, and he had sex naturally. It is estimated that there will continue to be children. By the time the family planning starts, Suhua will have passed the childbearing age. I wonder how many children this couple will have in the end.

The plain flowers in the book reminded me of my mother. My family was poor and my mother got married early. My mother only learned to read after taking literacy classes. When she first started literacy classes, my sister-in-law disagreed and demanded that we do less work at home. My mother told me that when she was working in the fields and heard the school bell ringing, she dropped her hoe and ran to school. The sister-in-law at home was unhappy and cursed. It was with this energy and the knowledge she learned that my mother stepped into a leadership position.

It reflects the characteristics of the lives of men and women in marriage in that era. Suhua's ordinary destiny and the sorrow of a small person are all dominated by her husband's joys and sorrows. Although she is kind-hearted, she has a kind of conservative ignorance in her heart. The gray exudes the sunshine of the new generation characters such as Xiaolian!

The content is very real, but it's a pity that Li Guoqiang has transformed from a scumbag to a half-hearted man. It can be said that the prodigal son turned back. Suhua was the representative of housewives in that era and depended on men for life, so she easily forgave Li Guoqiang.

This book is suitable to be enjoyed with the song "Old Street"; this Beijing-style novel describes the wide street that is actually not wide, Suhua and Li Guoqiang; the image of Suhua, a woman in trouble who is disliked by her mother-in-law and husband; the work unit system in the 1980s; and the urban life in Beijing's Hutongs are all fully demonstrated in this novel; this book not only explores the grand topics related to female independence and historical changes, but also the trivial things between neighbors; those warmth.

As a winner of the Lao She Literature Award and a representative writer of Beijing-style literature, the author of this book, Xue Yanping, is very good at writing about Beijing's hutong culture, especially in this book. As a work that describes women, mothers and great maternal love, and also expresses the difficulties of women, this book is a rare realistic masterpiece. The author creates vivid and touching characters and their deeds with delicate brushstrokes, and describes the warmth and warmth of the neighborhood with both rationality and modernity. It is a novel that pays tribute to ordinary life.

Very real and close to life. I was also very moved when I read it. The last thing she thought to herself was that Suhua had suffered so much and suffered so many grievances. She must give birth to a son this time. Unexpectedly, it was still a daughter. Maybe this is the truth of life.

History should be like this. This is the real novel. It does not have gorgeous language, but it can be deeply rooted in people's hearts.

A great book, the helplessness of women and the helplessness of life are well written.

It tells the ups and downs of the hutong life of old Beijingers, and reflects the trivial details of many families through the filial piety of one family. However, there is an unusual but ordinary warmth and heart in these insignificant fragments of life. Sour, no matter what, these are worthy of being remembered and missed. You can even take them into the grave and relive old dreams in that little box. What you must always remember is that home is always the sail of the ship, and the wind and waves experienced on the sea are the bitterness and sweetness of the world.

I had read the physical version of this book a long time ago, and I was lucky enough to see it again on Tomato Novels, so I couldn't wait to read it again. This book left such a deep impression on me that I had to pick it up and read it again. The author of this book describes it with a simple and smooth perspective and writing style. Reading it does not feel like reading, but like an old man sitting in front of you and telling you an ancient story.

In line with the historical nature of the time, If it is arranged as a drama, it will definitely be a hit. I watched it from dawn to dusk, and the result was perfect.

I think it may be a little different from Liuli. It's quite good. It's Xue Yanping's style. It describes the family life in Beijing's alleys very well. I shed tears in several places. I support it!

Experienced the warmth and coldness of the world, and the state of people's hearts

I've finished watching it, it's quite exciting and has a strong sense of life.

The description is detailed and very beautiful.

The author's writing is delicate, his descriptions are accurate, and he looks directly at human nature. The ending is very good, with the husband returning to the family, the ambitious daughter, and everything is complete. This may be the best ending.

The description is delicate and close to life. It's better than many online novels about domineering CEOs nowadays.

Good. It writes about the real life of people in that era.

A very good novel!

The little girl is about to wake up

The stories of my grandparents are so good

How can life be as smooth as one wishes?

It's very interesting, but I don't know what the author wants to express.

A very good book

Really beautiful and close to life

Very lifelike picture

It has a strong sense of the times. The selfishness of the male protagonist, the forbearance of the woman, and the vitality of the girls are all written deeply. It is a short article that can be recommended.
