I have caught up with the third book. As a Henan native, I really have a sense of life experience. The dialect, life atmosphere and small details in life are very local. The writing style is plain and has the feel of local literature. If you look at the author's introduction, you will understand that the author is a person with life experience who can write such good stories and characters. There is no golden finger, everyone is working hard in life. Sister author, you must write quickly and serialize quickly. It is recommended to update three times a day. I have read two of your four books. I am afraid that after finishing the third one, I will not read this one. So you must keep writing! ! ! Love you
This is a very beautiful book, with simple writing and compact content. It is like something happening around you. It makes people want to put it down and want to finish reading it in one sitting. I sincerely hope that there will be more books like this and that the author will publish more new books!
I have read this fourth book by the author. It is so well written that it makes people feel immersed in it, as if it is happening around them. I don't know how to express it. Anyway, I feel that the writing is really good. I feel that I cannot write such a good article as I am not a rural person. I give thumbs up to the author (a silly woman). [Like][Like][Like] I wrote a wrong word, (welcome), as if I were there [cover my face]
This book is very well written. It is all about small things about family life, but it is so well written that I can't stop once I listen to it. You can find almost every character in real life. If a person takes a wrong step, that wrong step will accompany you until your death. The people in the book are all kind-hearted and are forced by life. There is only Granny Qingyu's family. Except for Jiancheng and his wife and children, everyone else is hateful and pitiful. The author must be someone with life experience. His writing style is solid and his description of the character's psychology is very good. He vividly displays the inner truth and face of the character. I hope the author can let Jianye live a few more years and let all kind people have a good ending. Feng Erxiu's pitiful and hateful image, I can almost find an actor to play her. A nagging woman is the root cause of the whole family's bad life.
It's very well written and full of human touch. I beg the author not to write Jianye to death.
I like it so much that I have been following it all the way. This is the third book I have listened to. I just like this kind of book about real life. All over the Internet, there are stories about Cinderella meeting a rich CEO. I really can't put it down for such a down-to-earth book that is full of life philosophy. Come on, author! I love it so much, I have read all the books by this author. The description of psychological activities is delicate and consistent with the characteristics of the characters, and it truly and objectively reflects the married life of ordinary people. It is worth reading for all those who are married or preparing to get married. The article is thought-provoking, and the relationships between parents, children, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, brothers and sisters, and neighbors are vivid and vivid. It is a beacon for readers on their life journey.
It is full of memories, very real rural conditions in the 1980s. The author's descriptions are delicate and vivid. After reading another book by the author, I came to read this one. I couldn't put it down, couldn't bear to put it down, and couldn't bear to finish it.
It's down-to-earth and so well written that it's addictive to read. It's what's happening around us. So insightful. This book deserves a 9.9 Rating.
It connects to life, I have a strong sense of immersion, and I can empathize with the fate of the characters. I finished reading it in one go. Please update it soon.
It smells like the fireworks of our rural people. It is suitable for those of us in the 60s and 70s. It is purely a personal opinion. Good!
