Maybe I've read too many books, because I can't get into a lot of them and drop them after about three chapters. If I can finish one and enjoy it, it's definitely a gem worth sharing! I'll update this list from time to time. I've read every book on it myself, though I can't guarantee everyone will like them. 😍

Any Cozy Farming Stories About Improving Seeds to Increase Crop Yields?
Looking for stories about starting with nothing and gradually building wealth through farming. There can be awful relatives, but not too much of that. The focus should be on improving crops and increasing yields. I've read The Prosperous Farm of a Cast-Off Wife and Don't Panic, My Parents and I Transmigrated Together, and both were great.

I think it's very beautiful. It has flesh and blood. Everyone's plans in the book are portrayals of normal people in reality. The grandfather wants to continue the family and plan for the future of his beloved child. The parents' thoughts and plans for their children when they have only one child are different from the parents' plans for their two children after they have two children. Why do we have preferences? Because we are human beings. Who hasn't liked and preferred them yet! The author Bangbang hopes that the subsequent plots can maintain the standard! Personal opinions are different. Please don't comment on others! Thanks
Compared with those imperial examination essays with golden fingers, this article is a breath of fresh air😏 Anyone who has read a book knows how difficult it is to study, let alone the ancient imperial examination, which was even more difficult than the college entrance examination. Seeking truth from facts, step by step, the protagonist is very good like this. By the way, is there any similar article? Please recommend it.
It's so beautiful [crying] I can't get enough! ! ! Some people complained about the male protagonist's adoption (๑‾᷅^‾᷅๑). I feel that adoption is correct. If the male protagonist does not adopt his biological mother, he will prefer his younger son.
Compared with other books, the logic is much more rigorous. It does not mean that you are a time-traveler, and you will choose to give in if you know how to save time. It does not expose too many modern ideas, but it helps the people to the greatest extent within its ability. Although there is still a small hole in the supporting role that has not been filled in the ending, Rui Geer's life has been explained.
Hahahahaha, the author has taken great pains to make the adoption tenable, arranging a younger son, an honest and honest eldest son, a courageous and knowledgeable eldest grandson, an aunt with a gentle personality who is kind to the male protagonist, a mother and grandmother who are partial to the younger son, biological parents who are ignorant and narrow-minded, and the male protagonist who grew up in an orphanage in his previous life and has little blood ties. That's all, it's worth giving you full stars [laughing awkwardly]
This article is not bad, I actually like the realism. Come on, author. One point is deducted: As a reader, I can accept adoption, but you must conform to the background and era of adoption. In the ancient "Adoption of the Elderly", the male protagonist was born more than 20 years ago, the eldest son and grandson of the second wife who had been waiting for so long. Forced adoption is really speechless. There has never been a saying of adopting the eldest son since ancient times. This is rubbing the face and reputation of the second house on the ground. I'm going to criticize those in the comment section who say that the second wife can't support the male protagonist and won't let him study, and that he favors his younger son. It's really forced to be funny. The second wife has been looking forward to the eldest son and grandson for more than 20 years. The only boy at the time is different. The protagonist is smart, well-behaved and sensible at first glance. How can parents not feel pain in their hearts. After the forced adoption, the temperament of the parents of the second wife changed drastically. Due to the limitations of their education, they started a business. How could such parents not provide for themselves and support them? It is said that the resources of the big house are good, but he has inherited most of the family property, but he is still just a small rich farmer with a few dozen acres. Personally, I feel that the biological mother Li in this article is very miserable in this context. The only person who feels the most distressed is that she endured the pressure of public opinion and laughed at her inability to give birth to a son. She worked hard to conceive for ten months, and finally gave birth to the eldest son and grandson she had been looking forward to for more than 20 years. After enduring the most difficult time, her son was weaned and adopted by his great-grandfather when he was two years old. During the adoption period, he could only see the child during mealtimes. During the day, the child followed the grandfather, and the child was too small to have much contact. Ms. Li was looking forward to finally coming back soon, and she was adopted again alive. I remember the article said that she was the first to kneel and kowtow on the spot, but no one answered her and ignored her. She cried in despair. In the next few days, she cried until her eyes were dry and she couldn't cry anymore. She watched her son meet but didn't dare to see him. After the adoption, he was separated by his great-grandfather. And the words he said, it really didn't matter at all. In the end, the crime must be placed on her.
This novel writes about real life in ancient times. I accept the protagonist's adoption. There were adoptions before the founding of the People's Republic of China. My grandpa passed the eldest house to the second house. The ideas of old people are different from those of us young people
Because many people in the comments have a negative attitude toward adoption, I haven't been very happy to read it. Later, I started reading Shuhuang and finished it in three days. The adoption matter was explained very clearly, and I personally think it is understandable and acceptable. The plot is also very good, and the pursuit of the male protagonist has always been very clear (why I emphasize this, because I was chasing an imperial examination book before, and finally forcibly overthrew a dynasty and became the emperor himself. The change was too abrupt, but it was better than swallowing a fly). It's not very flashy, I basically explored it step by step, so it feels very immersive. Anyway, it suits the taste [laughs]
It's been a long time since I've read such an addictive novel on Tomato. I always give up after not seeing much. I really read this one in one go, and I felt uncomfortable with some content about adoption in the middle, but the author really writes it well, and it's faster and faster [Adore][Adore][Adore]
It is said that inheritance is not good, but the male protagonist has not been raised by his parents since he was a child. When his parents had a young son, they ignored him, did not look after him, and stopped making clothes. The male protagonist's parents also wanted him to get more furniture from the old man's house. After that, they wanted to come back anyway, and more property would belong to their own house, and the big house was a big one. It was originally planned for the male protagonist to ask him to study. The original idea was to let him choose a two-bedroom apartment. Later, the male protagonist Grandpa Zeng saw that the male protagonist's parents had a younger brother who was raised by them. It would be impossible for the male protagonist to support his education in the future, so he did it in order to have a big house and for the male protagonist to continue studying. . What is right and what is wrong Moreover, the male protagonist's uncle was about to die of illness because he was trying to save his own father. In the end, the ten acres of land that were returned to the male protagonist after the adoption was taken away by the male protagonist's younger brother. Before the old man passed away, he wanted to leave the shop to the male protagonist and a group of juniors to manage it. The male protagonist's biological father was the first to object and robbed the shop. He took advantage and refused to give cash for the big house. Also, the male protagonist is too kind. He spread the information and methods of the imperial examination and asked a holy father to distribute them everywhere. Even the cheating people were successful. However, he did not win. The distilled liquor recipe was taken by his brothers and his family. His second uncle got the title. The male protagonist was still open-minded. He secretly regretted that it was not his brother who got it. The male protagonist also gave away the ice-making method for free. The brothers' family also wanted the male protagonist to do crop experiments on their farm, but they gave up after seeing this! Holy Father, you are so open-minded even though you are making wedding clothes for others.
