Although it's not very well written and the plot isn't very engaging, I'll give it a full star to motivate myself, hehe. Hmm… I'm shamelessly writing another review for myself, rewarding myself for actually finishing a book! Heh heh, although the pacing is slow and there's not much of a fast-paced, exciting plot, it's good for passing the time.
It's a story of ordinary, everyday life, yet incredibly captivating. There are no vicious female supporting characters or self-destructive male supporting characters, only the warmth and mutual support among neighbors and villagers. The story isn't long; I finished it in two days, reading it on and off. It felt like drinking a glass of lemonade that had been repeatedly steeped yet still retained a subtle lemon scent.
This is a truly idyllic rural life story, depicting a retired rural lifestyle. There are no special identities, no palace intrigue or family feuds; it's incredibly relatable. The female lead is intelligent and resilient, decisive and efficient, and prefers to fight back against difficult characters.
Enjoying the atmosphere of rural life and cherishing the simple pleasures of everyday life is a true reflection of most people's reality.
It's very well written. The author must have a deep understanding of ancient solar terms and customs. There are no princes or princesses; it's a simple, down-to-earth farming story. Life in Xiaotan Village is rustic and warm, making it very appealing. I really enjoyed the lifestyle and attitude of the main family. Even their pet horse and dog are vividly and interestingly described.
A family of three, three meals a day, four seasons a year. The story is simple, about ordinary country folk, without grand ambitions or dramatic love stories. They have a little savings, a well-behaved and adorable child, and a loving partner. They support each other and live a peaceful and contented life.
It's a beautiful pastoral novel where the female and male protagonists are enjoying their retirement in the prime of their lives. They return to a quiet mountain village, have a comfortable house, some land, a little money, and live a leisurely life with the people they love, doing what they want and seeing the scenery they want. I'm so envious! This is the life I long for.
Well, I've always wanted to read this kind of simple, understated writing, but none of them quite captured my heart. This one, however, really resonated with me. Both the humans and animals are portrayed as complete and vivid.
I've always wanted to read a story where the protagonist is a palace maid, not someone who marries the emperor or a prince, but simply lives an ordinary life. So, I was really happy when I found this book, and the fact that it was well-written was an unexpected bonus.
It's very heartwarming, depicting everyday family life. Everyone in it is very nice, and it introduces a lot of delicious food. From the male and female leads meeting to their marriage, the transitions between each stage are quite reasonable. Life really is like that; time flies by. You can feel how fast time flies just when another holiday arrives. I guess that's how many people's lives are. 🥺🥺🥺The epilogue actually cut me a little.
