Although the writing is not very good and the plot is not very attractive, I give it a full star to encourage myself hehe. Hmm... I shamelessly reviewed myself again to reward myself for actually finishing a book! Hum, although the pace is slow and there is no compact and exciting storyline, you can pass the time and just watch the characters in the parallel world live an ordinary life. There are no accidents or twists and turns, and occasionally there are some surprises in life. This kind of peaceful, healthy, harmonious and beautiful life is what I dream of today, and it is also my most sincere blessing to the readers of this book.
It is an ordinary daily life, but it is very high-end. There is no vicious female supporting role or a murderous male supporting role, only the mutual help and warmth of the neighbors. The article is not long, and I read it intermittently in two days. It felt like drinking a glass of lemonade that has been soaked repeatedly and has a faint lemon fragrance.
This is a pure pastoral life novel, a retirement style rural life, no special identity, no palace fights, house fights, very close to life. The heroine is wise and tough, and does things neatly. When faced with the best, he will never do anything if he can do it. The hero has a cold face and a kind heart, and he has the little prince of the prairie (🐴 galloping). His worth has doubled, and his popularity is doubled. Most of the village names in the article are Pu A truly kind person, with no dark thoughts, only normal selfishness. He likes the Little Prince Gallop and the Puppy Wind the most. He is full of jokes. I envy the hero and heroine in the story and their family of three. They have a house🏠, a car, money💰, food, and more love [love]. It's a lot of hard work. It's not easy to code. It's not a loss. [Like][Salute][Smile][Like]
They like the atmosphere of rural life and live an ordinary life well. This is a true portrayal of most people.
The writing is very good. The author should have a deep understanding of ancient solar terms and customs. There is no such thing as princes and princesses. It is a plain farming story. The life in Xiaotan Village is simple and warm, which makes people fascinated. I really like the lifestyle and attitude of the protagonist's family, including the ponies and puppies they raise. The descriptions are also vivid and interesting. They have a compatible lover, cute children, true friends, and a certain family background. They don't have to worry about the next day's meals every day. It is a story that can make people smile and cry. It is worth reading.
A family of three, three meals a day, all year round. This story is very plain, they are all ordinary country people, without much ambition, without soul-stirring love and hatred. They have a little savings, cute children, and lovely partners. They keep each other company for warmth, and they live a peaceful life like this.
It is a very beautiful pastoral novel. The heroine and the hero both live a retired life in their prime years. They return to a quiet mountain village, have a comfortable house, some land, and a little money. They live a leisurely life with the people they like, do what they want to do, and see the scenery they want to see. I am so envious of it. This is the life I yearn for.
How can I put it this way? I have always wanted to read this kind of mediocre article but it was not what I felt in my heart. This one really appealed to me. No matter they are humans or animals, they are all perfect and vivid.
I have always wanted to read a novel where the main character is a palace maid, who does not marry an emperor or a certain prince, and just lives an ordinary life, so I was really happy when I read this book, and it was an unexpected surprise that the article was well written. The first few chapters were frightening to read, and I was always afraid that something might happen that would affect the heroine's smooth exit from the palace. Fortunately, the author did not set up any dramatic plots throughout the text, so I felt very calm while reading it. The story of a retired palace maid who fell in love with a horse on her way back home and then fell in love with the horse owner (retired soldier) who adopted an orphan to form a family. The atmosphere of the whole text is warm, everyday and ordinary. There are no super relatives or weird neighbors. Even some little people who appeared to cause trouble were mentioned once and then not followed up. I thought it was the author digging a hole and forgetting to fill it in. While I was watching it, I was still unfinished. Because the subject was daily life, there was no clear dividing line at the end. As a result, I was still a bit unresponsive when I turned the last page to show the end. Although the author and I are from the same country, the rural life and customs she describes are also unknown to me. All in all, it is very informative and the reading process is also very enjoyable.
It's very warm, the family is short-lived, everyone in it is very nice, and it introduces a lot of delicious food. From the meeting of the male and female protagonists to the subsequent marriage, each time transition is actually quite reasonable. Human life is really like this, time flies very fast. If you can feel that time flies quickly, it is a certain festival. Probably many people's lives are like this.
