Period novels, marriage first, love later, landlords, marrying one's son, family business, portrayal of human nature, love and hate (there are no good people in the absolute sense), especially in rural areas, there are many dirty things that you can't see.
After Bai Fengying passed away, Zhang Yue wrote a book about her with Bai Fengying as the protagonist. The book tells the development history of several major families and everything Bai Fengying witnessed in these 120 years. First of all, the Bai family is considered a scholarly family. She is the eldest lady of the Bai family. She married Zhang Jinlong after listening to the matchmaker's advice. Then he followed Zhang Jinlong to escape from famine and came to today's Xuzhou. The ancestor of the Zhang family was a palace doctor, but this Zhang Jinlong had no medical skills and worked as a driver for a wealthy family. Bai Fengying and Zhang Jinlong gave birth to four children, two sons and two daughters. Zhang Jinlong died early, but he left behind good things so that the Zhang family could become serfs and sing.
The Zhao family will also appear in the article. The Zhao family has been poor for generations, especially Zhao Chunsheng's generation. They are so poor that they are starving to death. The three sisters married off early. Zhao Chunsheng's mother borrowed a sum of money to marry Zhao Chunsheng. Fortunately, he married a good wife who was very good at living. Zhao Chunsheng also worked hard and finally relied on carpentry skills to usher in a good life.
But it's not over yet. The fourth generation brought the wealth accumulated by the previous people back to before liberation overnight.
Finally, I want to say that "Old Baimao" passed away at the end of last year, but she is a figure in my heart and inspired me when I was a girl. I also want to have such a cool life.

This is the best book I have read recently. It has a good plot, rich characters, and the author's writing is very good. The story has ups and downs, and often unexpected twists and turns. I highly recommend it!
