The stream in Nanshan Hollow runs cold, carrying the days along with it. Lin Sheng crouched on a mossy stone by the water, rubbing dirt from a piece of poria between his fingertips. The frayed threads at his cuffs drifted like dandelion fluff that had yet to scatter. His parents had died young, and beneath his uncle and aunt’s roof, he gathered herbs, prepared medicines, and embroidered. The bitter scent of medicine seeped into his bones, shaping his quiet, resilient nature. The day the matchmaker came, his aunt slipped him a piece of malt candy, so sweet it left a bitter aftertaste. He knew it was time to start a family of his own.
Shen Dongqing was like the frozen earth beneath his feet: tall, taciturn, and strong enough to crack rocks with a swing of his hoe. As the eldest son in his family, his world consisted of furrows, woodpiles, and unfinished carpentry. When Matchmaker Wang walked into the Shen family’s courtyard with a blue cloth bundle and news of the Lin family’s son, the axe in his hand paused mid-swing. Lin Sheng? The young man who washed herbs by the stream, with a neck as pale as a fresh bamboo shoot?
At the foot of Nanshan, two ordinary people use their hardworking hands and unspoken affection to simmer out a humble life, turning it into the warmest sweetness of everyday life.
Finally, there is a book about the whole family, and the whole village has normal characters, without all kinds of gossips and weird people. In an ordinary life, the husband and wife's emotions are also slow and natural.
The author writes very well, it's quite interesting, but some parts keep repeating, which kind of affects the viewing. It would be better if there were less descriptions outside of the plot.
After reading it, let me explain it in detail. Overall, it's pretty good. It's just that I kept saying thank you at the beginning. Saying thank you for everything was very awkward, weird, and strange. And there were so many thank yous. In fact, I almost gave up on the article when I read the previous part, but I kept reading and the author got better and better at the end. The writing got better and better, and it became more interesting later on. How can I put it, it is very warm, very gentle, very homely, very ordinary, and has a sense of happiness. I couldn't help but smile while watching it. If you're not familiar with the novel, you can start with it. If you don't like the front, you can read it from the middle. Generally speaking, you can't hide your shortcomings. Happy New Year. I hope your future novels will get better and better.
Warm and simple daily life, a smooth and flowing life. No rush, no slowness, just right. Nice.
A very good novel
It is a calm, warm and flowing text 🙂😄
Plain and simple is the truth
I really like this kind of long-flowing writing.
The water flows slowly, and when I read the article, I felt that I had hope for the future [I almost cried]
A very warm story, the ordinary people's life is so smooth and flowing, so good
