Twin Sisters Take on the 1970s

I really enjoyed this book; the author's writing is excellent. There are a few minor flaws, like the gold snatched up at the beginning not appearing. Overall, it's very good, but this score is a bit low; I'd say it deserves 9.5. Unlike other books where the female protagonist encounters all sorts of extraordinary events and adventures, this book is generally simple and down-to-earth.

I've read about 20 chapters so far, and overall it's good—positive and uplifting, with no truly awful characters, and the characters seem quite united. Personally, I feel there's too much description of their aspirations for the future, and the last few sentences of each chapter always feel like a summary. 😂

It's so good! Although it's a simple and ordinary story, it makes you feel that everyone is so energetic, hardworking, and determined. In that era, you could really make money by seizing opportunities. I want to keep watching and see the extra chapters!

I really love ensemble writing; there are no awful characters, it's so good! The female characters are all so positive and uplifting. There are so many couples in the book, and I love every single one of them. It's incredibly good, it's just a shame the story is too short. Recommended novels that you can reread multiple times

It's a great read, exactly the kind of story about educated youth sent to the countryside I've been looking for. The two sisters support each other and live a good life together; it's very heartwarming. One particularly touching detail is that the sisters' husbands voluntarily underwent tubal ligation to prevent them from having more children and harming their health—a unique case I've seen in…

This book is different from other period novels. There are no mother-in-law/daughter-in-law conflicts, sisters-in-law, or the worst kinds of educated youth. This book is just about farming and working hard to fill your stomach, constantly gathering firewood, mountain produce, wild vegetables, and mushrooms. There are no cheat codes or time travel/rebirth.

The author's writing is a little messy, but the family and friendship relationships are very well portrayed. The everyday family life is simple and ordinary, without any awful characters. The main characters are ordinary yet lovable, I love it! 🥰

I was also a sent-down youth during that era, and I felt that rural life in the north was incredibly tough; the biggest problem was the lack of food. Their brigade leader was the best they could be; encountering a brigade like Qingshan would have been far worse. If it weren't for family favoritism and a lack of kinship, I believe those female sent-down youths wouldn't have chosen to settle in the countryside so quickly.

This is really well-written. This is what a period drama should be like – a story about everyday life, without any unnecessary fantasy or supernatural elements. I've read so many period dramas that constantly denigrate rural areas, portraying them as monsters! After reading so many derogatory stories about rural life, a novel about simple, honest life is a welcome change. It's also not like those cliché military officer stories; I'm sick of those! This novel is really good, keep it up! 💪

This is arguably my favorite historical novel. At present, there is no infighting in the educated youth settlement, and everyone is working hard for a better life, which is really good.
