Looking for Historical-Era Novels Worth Rereading
Set in the 1960s or 1970s. No pocket dimension, no golden finger, and the female lead didn't go to university.
Looking for Straightforward Historical-Era Stories, No Reckless Shenanigans
Something that fits the historical setting fairly well, without going too over the top. 🌸
Looking for Realistic Marriage Stories, Nothing Too Far-Fetched or Overly Sweet
Everyday life, realistic views on marriage, a couple working together, marital conflicts, careers, family, children, and mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationships. Keep it realistic, please. No wealthy-family romances; they feel too far-fetched.

No System, and not too much face-slapping.

Looking for a Historical-Era Story Where the Female Lead Won't Raise Someone Else's Child or Be a Doormat
No stepmothers, or anything like that. I can't handle raising kids right from the start.
Any Long Novels Set in the 1960s or ’70s?

Looking for Farming, Child-Rearing, and Food Novels
Looking for farming or period-setting childcare and food stories without awful relatives or catfights. Thanks! (I hope the golden finger isn't too powerful.)

The plot is good, but the dialogue always feels awkward and childish, especially the part with the soldiers; the descriptions of their actions and language don't convey their military bearing. The author could read more dialogue; I think dialogue can enrich character development, rather than just being dialogue for the sake of dialogue.
The author wrote this book with heart, and I felt the sincerity in it. I also want to say something sincerely. That big pumpkin suddenly reminded me of many things. When I was a child, my grandmother's vegetable garden also had some beautiful vegetables growing. At that time, I just thought they were pretty.
It's a very gentle and heartwarming novel, quite comfortable to read. I personally didn't like the military wife who didn't buy anything because of haggling, but being directly poisoned with a curse is a bit scary. Her crime didn't warrant death, right? A curse that makes her uncomfortable if she speaks ill of others is more acceptable.
It's heartwarming and beautiful, but there are too many scenes depicting the daily lives of other residents in the family compound.
A very refreshing and enjoyable book; I hope it finishes soon.
So heartwarming! The male and female leads are so sweet, and there aren't too many melodramatic plot twists. It's a very comfortable and healing read, but it's a shame it's too short. I hope the author will update more often!
I love these simple, everyday moments, and I especially love reading the little stories about the children's growth later on. ⛽️ Keep updating!
It's slice-of-life and realistic; I personally think it's pretty good.
I absolutely love this kind of simple and unadorned writing; it's so comfortable and straightforward, without any overly complicated elements.
The writing is delicate, especially the interactions between the older and younger brothers later on; the interactions between the younger brother and his father are quite vivid. I look forward to more updates from the author.
