The story takes place in the mid-1980s. The author uses comedy techniques to tell a different kind of "rural love" story through three generations, two love lines, and one marriage. It promotes the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation, objectively and truly reflects the spiritual outlook of the Northeast farmers at that time, and creates a vivid and familiar image of a group of farmers.
Wang Yongde gave birth to four sons. He broke his waist and bones for the marriages of his sons. Even though he was over 60 years old, he was still struggling to find a wife for his old son.
In order to reduce the burden on his father, the fourth child ran away from marriage and went to work in the city. Unexpectedly, the second fat son who had a crush on him also followed him, and the road to work was full of dangers...
The super-sheng eldest son could not help his father, but instead caused trouble again and again, but he was still obsessed with having a son...
The third child who lived with Wang Yongde always wanted to taste what it was like to be a father, but his wife was infertile...
The second child who teaches in the town wants to share the burden of the family with his father, but he cannot be the home of his daughter-in-law...
Aunt Fifteen and the third deaf man, who have been widowed for half their lives, have been childhood sweethearts. They have lovers but cannot get married...
Grandma, who didn't know how to spend money, folded a lot of silver ingots with the tinfoil inside the cigarette case and asked people to burn them when she died...
Through the interweaving and collision of progress and backwardness, kindness and ignorance, contemporary civilization and traditional culture, scenes of shocking tragedies and comedies are performed.
The work covers a wide range of themes, has a twists and turns in the plot, has a rich flavor of life, vivid characters, refined and vivid language, and a humorous story. It is a good work worth reading.
Reader comments
Although there are some differences between the era in the work and the era I lived in, as a person born in the 1970s, I am very familiar with the plot of the story. This is a novel that is very close to life and very logical. As a general reader, I like it very much because I am also from the Northeast and am very familiar with the plot and some dialects in the novel. It's not as exaggerated as some modern novels. I personally think that if this novel is adapted into a TV series, it will definitely be as good as the popular TV series such as "Country Love". Give this novel a big thumbs up👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
It's very well written, but a bit short.
It's well written, and I still enjoyed reading it. I recommend it.
