Looking for books like Reborn in the 1980s: Professor Lu's Country Wife Has Changed. I want a down-to-earth farming family and a wholesome, close-knit extended family, all pulling together.

It's alright, but the ending was rushed and many plot holes weren't filled. The female lead doesn't seem like she's from a post-apocalyptic world. She's lacking in both intelligence and courage.
I felt this book was quite good in terms of logic, price levels, and characters, so I gave it five stars. As long as prices don't collapse, I'll continue reading.
Lately, I've been really enjoying reading novels set in tenement courtyards. All sorts of situations arise, and the twisted nature of humanity is beyond imagination... The common characteristics of all tenement courtyards are: small temples with big demons, shallow waters with many turtles—it's really quite entertaining.
I'd give it 3.5 Stars. You can read it when you're bored. The female lead's personality doesn't seem like someone who transmigrated from a post-apocalyptic world, and the whole story is rather bland.
I think it's pretty good. Although it's a bit bland, I felt I could still keep watching. It's not verbose, and everyone's ending is explained reasonably well. There aren't any outrageous plot devices; it's just a simple, down-to-earth story.
Having read the beginning, I was really looking forward to the rest of the story, but unfortunately, it's not finished.
Honestly, the rating is a bit low. Although it's about everyday family life, it's actually quite interesting. Keep up the good work, author!
It's a great read, depicting everyday life. It's very ordinary, perfectly capturing the atmosphere of the time! Keep up the good work, author! ✊
It's super good, but the female lead has both superpowers and a spatial ability—two golden fingers! It would have been better if she punished the bad guys more; it didn't get a chance to develop those abilities, making it a bit bland.
Although it wasn't particularly original, it was written very fluently.
