Not so much excrement, isn't that good? Good education for the children, and even a simpleton like Sha Zhu can get married. After the famine, selling grain can be exchanged for antiques, paintings, and fine timber; collecting Moutai liquor and stamps is also possible. Later, they can buy a courtyard house, start their own business, and live a life of wealth and prosperity. Isn't that wonderful?
After seeing so many courtyard houses filled with characters who are constantly arguing and bizarre, this kind of more understated one is quite nice, especially since it keeps Jia Zhangshi in check and avoids all the messy stuff, which is very comforting. The beginning was alright, but later on, after having only three children, she still got an IUD.
A pretty good book. I read it from beginning to end without skipping any chapters. The ending was also well-written. That's quite rare. I've read many other courtyard houses, but this is the first time I've read a book about Jia Dongxu about a courtyard house.
That's good. Jia Dongxu doesn't spoil his mother, and in order to control her, he deliberately allows her to keep her urban household registration despite knowing about the food rationing and the famine. He even blindly chooses tasks just to get system points.
I've finished reading it all and am waiting for updates. It's a really good novel about courtyard houses. The protagonist is very rational and not demonized. It's all about the simple wisdom of ordinary people and how the environment changes people! It's really good!
It's a rare find among courtyard-themed stories that isn't filled with hostility; I recommend it.
It's pretty good; you should check it out if you're looking for something to read!
It's very well written, so why is the score so low? The author has really captured the essence of human relationships and social interactions for ordinary people like us.
The story is engaging and doesn't demonize anything; the simple narrative is quite enjoyable.
It's really good, a great book.
