A real farming article. Akita began to take care of Zhaoyong wholeheartedly. After Zhaoyong died, she was actually at a loss. With the idea of borrowing seeds for the Wu family, she had a goal in life again, and the story unfolded. Chen Shi is an ordinary man. He fell in love with Akita in his early years and thought that Akita also liked him. Later, he found out that they would get married. After an unfortunate marriage, he got together with Akita again. However, things may not be as smooth as they imagined. I hope they can persevere and live hard.
The water flows slowly and quietly. The language is fresh and simple, and the characters are very three-dimensional, especially the heroine's natural simplicity, positivity and open-mindedness, which is deeply penetrating. When Zhao Yong died, she first thought of staying behind; when she learned that Brother Shitou might marry her, she planned everything first. Huzi's surname is Wu, who is Wu Jiazi; Huzi lost his hearing. When Dr. Feng said he couldn't let him forget to speak, she immediately thought of teaching Huzi lip reading; Chen Shi went out to seek medical treatment for Huzi, and she counted her time and income... Such a woman is weak but strong, simple and touching! 👍👍👍
This novel can be regarded as a literary work, not an ordinary romance novel. The straightforward narration is filled with true feelings. As you read it, you can't extricate yourself from it. The Wu family father and son (the heroine's ex-father-in-law and ex-husband) must be gods descending to earth to experience disasters. It's so beautiful and such a pity! The two of them only live in a few words, but they are so dazzling as gold that readers cannot ignore them! The female protagonist is very good and she deserves to be raised by the Wu family. The male protagonist has shortcomings (very different from her ex-husband), but isn't that what life is like?
Either the heroine is a big heroine, or she is an everyday poor person. The heroine is hard-working, smart and has some luck. However, the author's writing style is very good, and the daily small things are written very comfortably. The plot is also very coherent. I always feel comfortable and want to continue reading. The heroine's attitude towards peach blossoms is very tough. I feel relieved and not because of it. I swallowed my anger for Chen Shi. If you are good to me, I will be twice as good to you. You are very kind. If you don't care about my feelings, I will withdraw my kindness to you. Chen Shi's mother later did a good job in disciplining Tao Hua and giving Chen Shi advice. Without her advice, Chen Shi and the heroine might have really separated.
Wu Zhaoyong is Qiutian's guiding light, and it burned out after walking a long road. Love is deep and far-reaching. Chen Shi is not one-tenth as good as Wu Zhaoyong. Chen Shi is a very vivid "little citizen" who is selfish, considerate and capable. He is one of millions of ordinary people. The author has great writing skills, and the characters have distinct personalities, with flesh and blood, kindness, selfishness, and jealousy. They have three meals a day, rice, oil, and salt for all four seasons. A very good piece of work.
It is a very impressive book. Everyone in the book is not purely a good person or a bad person. Everyone has his own helplessness, his own little selfishness, and his own small calculations. What is particularly impressive is Wu Zhaoyong, who appears as a dead man. His intention for Akita makes people cry. He is a person who treats Akita wholeheartedly. Maybe it is because he cannot live long that he treats Akita like this. As long as people are alive, they will have selfish motives, fight for their own interests, and have evil thoughts. This is real life
It's so beautiful, but it's not finished. The male and female protagonists are not the conventional perfect protagonists in romance novels, but the heroine has such a strong energy that makes people particularly like it. I think there is a white moonlight character in the book, that is, the boy from the Wu family. For the heroine and the readers, he is a white moonlight character. It's just that the text is a bit short and not enough to read. There are no messy routines like time travel and rebirth, no messy settings, and the name is also very confusing. It is enough for the characters in farming novels to have solid names. Some of the male and female protagonists in other farming novels have a mess of Internet celebrity names, which feels nondescript. This farming article feels very logical and well-written. It's not too slow to update two chapters a day even though it's not finished yet, but it's not enough to read!!
At first I thought Akita was just an ordinary rural girl, but later I realized that Akita has great wisdom, foresight, and talent. She does things in an orderly and unhurried manner. She also does well in all aspects of life. She is kind but not a saint. She knows how to safeguard her own interests and will not tolerate suffering. The Wu family really raised Akita very well. Zhaoyong taught Akita a lot and left a lot of options for her. Unfortunately, she died young. Maybe it was Huiji who must be injured. I have always felt that Chen Shi was not worthy of Akita, especially his selfish parents who loved to be evil, and his daughter Taohua who was fundamentally bad. Alas, Akita felt happier living alone with Hu Zi. There were not so many bad things, and he did not have to deal with so many annoying Chen family members. He could live his own life freely, not to mention how happy he was. The author is great. He has created a full-bodied character like Akita. I really like it. I continue to look forward to the following stories!
Nice! Zhaoyong had a good vision and entrusted his sister Qiu to the right person, Chen Shi. Chen Shi has shortcomings and advantages. But in my opinion, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. I feel safe with him around. After all, who can refuse a man who is responsible, can endure hardships, and can make a lot of money 😂 😂 When I saw Akita being forced by his stepfather and stepmother's family in the article, Chen Shi's appearance was really reassuring! Akita looks gentle, but is actually very powerful at heart! She is also very good in herself, which is why two men fell in love with her so wholeheartedly. Her ex-husband was planning her future until his death. Looks good! Push push!
It's been a long time since I've read a book word for word like this. The author has created each character very well. There is no perfect person in the world. Everyone has shortcomings to appear real. When reading the book, it makes people feel like they are living in this village, gossiping about the parents of every household.
