May Chengnian and Lehe Be Blessed With Peace Every Year

The fields yielded nothing, and taxes were as merciless as tigers. Was life hard for Jiang Shoutian and Li Qiuniang, a married couple raising four children? A little, perhaps, but the Jiang family had always stood together. Quiet and hardworking, Jiang Shoutian was the pillar of the family: a man of few words, but warmhearted and fiercely protective of his wife and children. Gentle yet resilient, Li Qiuniang noticed every little thing and kept the warmth alive at home with her soft words. Through hard work and mutual understanding, the couple built a solid foundation for their family. The eldest brother stood guard at the perimeter with a wooden club. The second brother carried a box of old books, holding on to a scholar’s dream of serving the people and bringing peace to the land. The third brother kept his eyes peeled for any chance to survive. Little sister He’an carried half a farming manual, recognizing wild greens as food that could save their lives and seeing barren fields as precious treasure. In a chaotic age, the Jiang family relied on their own hands and their love for one another to turn wasteland into fertile fields and put down roots. They had no golden finger and no sudden windfall, only a family supporting one another, warming their hard days and turning wasteland into a granary. They honored their parents’ hopes, cherished the bonds between siblings, and treasured the warmth of family. May peace reign beneath the grain stalks. See how the Jiang family carves out a good life amid these troubled times, one filled with cherished memories, joy, abundant harvests, and peace year after year!
