1970S. Magpie married Zhao Qinghe and gave birth to two daughters but not a son. The father-in-law, Mr. Zhao, favored sons over daughters. He married three daughters-in-law one after another but did not have any grandchildren. Imprisoned by feudal ideology, Old Man Zhao decisively ended his family's butchering business. He thought he could have a grandson by not killing animals, but he failed to do so in the end!
Under the great wave of reform and opening up, Zhao Qinghe and Magpie led the whole family to keep pace with the times, revitalize the family industry, make it bigger and stronger, and the family's life also changed dramatically! And conflicts followed one after another.
This book is set in the 1970s and spans 40 years. It shows the positive and optimistic life attitude of the new generation of farmers and their hard-working and indomitable spirit. It also shows from the side how Chinese farmers have grown up step by step in the new era!
