The stories I have written so far are really good-looking, the story is very interesting, the story is about group portraits, the characters all have strengths and weaknesses, and it is quite real. The people in the compound worked hard to find ways to improve their lives in the 1970s. Although they all had their own little ideas, they were all managing their own little lives.
It's very good-looking, not so many top-notch products, just a peaceful little life, which makes people feel comfortable watching it.
An inspiring and upright story. After the adoptive parents died, the biological parents came to the door and wanted to marry the girl to a fool and find a wife for her brother. The girl who knew how to fight was forced to leave her hometown and start her new life. In the end, she had a good career and family.
I just like this kind of long flowing water with short household rules, hahaha, it's very interesting, please give it a thumbs up, author.
Nice looking, unpretentious, and neighborly. The best without going too far
This book makes me feel very calm after reading it. It's just a warm little story, telling about the ordinary life in No. 16 Courtyard, without luxury cars or houses, or any exaggerated gestures. After watching a lot of intrigues and the exaggerated life of houses and luxury cars, reading this ordinary and heartwarming story gives me such a different feeling.
I really like this kind of book📚 and I have the desire to read it.
It was hard to read at first, because I liked the previous book and recommended it to the system. I thought it was just like the previous book. It was about a big courtyard, and then each family had some weird things. Everyone ate melons together, and it was really a lot of shit. It was overwhelming, and it was very exciting. So when I first read this article, a lot of words were used to describe the trivial matters of the heroine, but the scene of eating melon was still missing. It was difficult for me to get into the drama. It was very uncomfortable and I skipped many chapters. I saw that it was a little better from the back, no merit and no fault. But I like the extra episode very much, which is why I gave it five stars. It feels like a close-up of an individual at the end of a TV series. It's frozen and very touching. I watched it for the first time in 2024 and was attracted by the high ratings. At that time, it was the first time I read period literature that didn't have so many top-notch works. I thought this kind of daily literature that was harmonious and harmonious was quite interesting. It was only after reading it for the second time in 26 years that I realized that no matter how disgusting and bad things were done on the stage, they could be washed away in the end. It was very uncomfortable, like a stuck in the throat.
It's a pretty good family short novel. This story started in the 1970s. After the death of the heroine's adoptive parents, the heroine, in order to get rid of the fate of her biological parents selling her for marriage, went to Beicheng alone to join her good sisters without any hesitation, and she married the boy on a blind date. The whole story revolves around the courtyard where the male protagonist lives, telling the stories of the residents living there. Everyone has their own personality, good and bad. There are no bad guys, and the bad guys also have remarkable advantages. The whole story is very warm.
It's very beautiful and life-like. I don't want anything else but gold fingers or something. It's so boring. This one is very beautiful, without gold fingers.
