[A period drama, two female leads, everyday life, mountain outings, farming, marriage, and a slow pace. If that's not your thing, don't read, and please don't bash it!
No face-slapping or showing off, just everyday family life in the countryside of Northeast China.]
That year, his father was injured in an accident at work, leaving the family without a source of income. His two older brothers returned to the village, but instead of giving Lin Feng the chance to take over his job, his father practically sold him off to Old Man Li, a frequent visitor from the countryside, as if he were marrying off a daughter.
Lin Feng couldn't believe his father would throw him out. Had he been adopted?
But even though he was willing to become a live-in son-in-law, Old Man Li and his four daughters weren't interested in this pampered city boy who was lazy and good for nothing. They merely told him to spend some time getting to know the two daughters who were still unmarried.
Old Man Li always treated him like a son, so everyone called Lin Feng, who never did become a live-in son-in-law, the fake son.
As they spent time together, the two beautiful daughters also realized that aside from being handsome, Lin Feng had no redeeming qualities.
Later, when he ran short of money, Lin Feng even secretly sold the commune's black donkey that Old Man Li was keeping.
He was caught red-handed by the market regulators, branded a profiteer, and sentenced to seven years in prison. The black donkey was confiscated.
Old Man Li's family had to repay the money from the donkey's sale. Old Man Li was so distraught that he suffered a stroke and eventually died. His two daughters, who were still in school, dropped out and entered the workforce. The family was torn apart.
After his release, unable to face his loved ones, Lin Feng dragged himself through life, consumed by guilt.
When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to 1981 and to Xisha Village.
In his previous life, he had desperately searched for the two sisters who had gone missing. This time, he had no grand ambitions. He only wanted to make up for his regrets, find a wife in the countryside, and live a peaceful, happy life with his family.
There aren't many that I can give five stars to. Maybe the story doesn't have too many highlights, but it's complete enough. Generally speaking, there are two types of stories, one-sided and complete. This is complete. All stories are composed of scenes, dialogues, psychology, and actions. However, most novels tend to describe only a few central characters. This story describes most of the participating characters in a complete and unobtrusive way, and they only appear when they are related to the event. The advantage is that harmony is not a word count, but the disadvantage is that it is difficult to foreshadow major events, which will appear abrupt, and the details need to be buried separately in different chapters to guide them step by step. Although there is still nothing new in the beginning, the plot that follows is not too deliberate. After all, there is no system. No matter what happens later, at least it is enough to serve as a standard for chronicle writing. Of course, the problem is that it is not dated enough, but I have written so much and just keep on sticking to it. In summary, the emotional value is not high, but it is very comfortable to watch.
The content is rich and colorful and very beautiful.
It's pretty, nothing bad about it
It feels pretty good-looking
