While the morning dew is still gathering on the tips of the wheat leaves, a few dandelions are erecting their goose-yellow flower disks. Look at how the pom-poms look when they explode. When the wind blows, they spread over the slopes and across the stream. They dare to show their heads as long as there is an inch of soil beside field ridges, stone wall corners, and cattle pens.
Even if the roots have been shoveled by a hoe, fresh green will be pulled out from the stubble after a rain. Dandelions are the active plant in the countryside and an old friend of women. When the flower plate is tender, it can be mixed into cold dishes, when the pompoms fly, it can make the chasing children laugh, and even the withered roots can be soaked in a coarse porcelain bowl to warm the body.
They are not like roses that need to be erected, nor like peonies that need to be fertilized. They are like those figures bending down and working on the slope, standing firm in the wind or rain, spreading their vitality on every inch of the land they walk on. When the last ray of sunset makes the dandelion's velvet umbrella fly away carrying the seeds into the distance. That's not wandering, it's the promise of life...

The article weaves a vivid portrait of women. They are the daughter-in-law of the Li family who has been tempered by life but is still fierce, the white-collar worker who has returned home with a bright appearance but is broken on the inside, and the old woman who is taciturn but understands everything... The story is like a delicate scalpel, cutting open the love, hate, secrets and tenacity of the survival philosophy under the calm surface of the small town. Under the compassionate gaze of "Guanyin", there is no savior, only the women's gritted teeth and mutual redemption, which is so real that it makes people's hearts tremble. [Like][Like][Like][Like]
She is so beautiful. I feel sorry for my daughter-in-law and Axi. At that time, women had no status like ants, and I just hoped that they could all have their own lives. Although I haven't finished watching it yet, I can't help but watch the rest of the story.
It's really beautiful, a very nice rural group portrait. If women help each other, women will not lose money if they invest in shares.
I admire the author very much. A very ordinary town, very ordinary little people, very ordinary lives, but they can be described in detail. Let people find happiness and hope in suffering.
The writing is exquisite and the story is captivating, with a strong sense of emotional resonance. It is truly beautiful and highly recommended!
An article with a sense of the times, detailed writing, a very good casual novel, five-star praise!
This book is great, the characters are very unique. That grandma, I want to beat her up even through the screen [laughing][laughing][laughing]
