Introduction to the book
This is a love story hidden in community fireworks. The protagonists are grassroots workers Lin Xiaoyun and Lu Yuan.
Lin Xiaoyun lives with her daughter Duoduo, and meets her new colleague Lu Yuan during her daily work at the subdistrict office. At first, it was a tacit cooperation in the office. He helped her share the heavy workload of filing residents' needs, and she helped him resolve emergencies in community activities; later, it was the uncontrollable heartbeat - a sneak kiss while the other party was on the phone, the trousers sneakily hooked under the table, and the hot milk tea delivered during overtime. In their "underground love", the two turned their rigorous work routine into a small theater full of sweetness.
Their relationship did not have earth-shattering twists and turns, but was filled with the subtle warmth of life: their patience when running craft classes for the elderly in the community, their busyness when installing fitness equipment, and the goodwill of the residents during the Double Ninth Festival activities. This relationship gradually became clear in the blessings of neighbors and colleagues. From the oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo [sauding on,] from the oolong that was disrupted by a cat when they proposed in the supermarket, to the care that Lu Yuan hid in the details when trying on wedding dresses, to the "Daddy" that Duo Duo called out at the wedding in the twelfth lunar month, they turned the concerns of single mothers and the caution of working people into the determination to "cook porridge together, accompany their children to grow up together, and face the little things in life together."
There is no dramatic plot in the book, but the naughty interactions in the office, the ambivalence of parents in the community, and the warm daily life of a small family are used to outline the truest happiness. It turns out that the best love is to turn "I" into "us" in ordinary days, and turn every piece of warmth into the sweetness of the rest of your life.
Reader comments
The heroine's "busyness" as a community director is so empathetic: the helplessness when mediating conflicts, the instinct to protect the children in the jurisdiction, and the exhaustion of working overtime until late at night are all qualities of life that ordinary people can touch; the hero's "silent protection" is also not deliberate, it is the details of handing a hot drink between duty and silently holding an umbrella in the rain, like the street lamps in the old alley, warm and calm.
