Synopsis

An alternate-history setting. All content is fictional. No going to the countryside, no doing business, just an ordinary working man. Old Song is forty-eight this year. His wife, known as Madam Song, is forty-five. His parents are both in their late sixties and still alive. His younger sister, Song Huasheng, is thirty-eight. Her husband died in an accident, and she and her two children are currently staying with Old Song’s family. Old Song and Madam Song have three sons and one daughter. The eldest, Song Bowen, was very bright as a child, though a little wooden. He is twenty-five this year. He graduated from college five years ago, found a job on his own, and usually lives and eats away from home. The second son, Song Zhongwu, was a smooth talker from childhood, always knowing just what to say. He is twenty-three this year. Three years ago, the family pulled strings to get him a job. Later, he nearly emptied the family’s savings trying to find a wife. He and his wife and child all live and eat at home. The third son, Song Shuquan, has been quick-witted since childhood. He is twenty this year. Four years ago, in response to the national call, he insisted on going to the countryside. The youngest, Song Shuang, is fourteen this year, the same age as Song Zhi, Song Huasheng’s son. They are both in junior high school. Song Huasheng’s youngest daughter is nine this year and in elementary school.

After reading the article, I feel that Jiubian is much better than a soft-tempered person who can't stand up. Jiubian can also have back-and-forth civil and military fights. The buns don't react no matter how hard they are squeezed. Even when he is bullied, he feels like he is holding back his anger.

There are many characters in the book, but they are all vivid and vivid! The author should be a person with life experience. In this era when reading has become a fast food, it is really valuable to be able to calm down and create such a good book! Thumbs up for you!

A book that perfectly embodies the fireworks of the world, the trivial daily life of a family, and the ordinary and warm life. Sometimes there is a lot of excitement, sometimes there is love for each other. It's very comfortable to watch and quite relaxing. The first part is well written, but the latter part is a bit rushed. I hope the author will continue to work hard. , Write better works.

The writing is very plain, very real and very everyday, which makes people feel peaceful while reading it, and at the same time, they also realize a lot of truths.

Although some of the content is far from reality, I like it because it is full of positive energy. I particularly like this kind of down-to-earth atmosphere, playing housework, and showing full of righteousness. But why is the score so low? Maybe people's expectations are too high nowadays. They all hope to live a high-class life in fairy tales [face covering] The more I read, the more I can't put it down. I'm waiting for daily updates.

Nice book! Feedback on the development of society in the daily lives of ordinary people! I just feel that as a pillar of a country, the male protagonist's image is a bit thin! It's just my humble opinion! Big thanks to the author!

It's a pretty good book. The content is about the daily life of ordinary people, things that happen to you, me and other families, the joys, sorrows, joys and sorrows of the world. The characters are richly described. I like it better. I have read it continuously and I still have something to say. I am looking forward to the author's new works. Thank you.
