Su He worked herself sick and decisively quit her job, returning to her village to inherit her grandfather's old courtyard house.
From the start, she had a hoe, three plots of black soil, and a quirky pastoral System.

[Successfully harvested goji leaves. Experience +10]
She grew vegetables, stocked up on grain, fixed up the house, and put her advertising skills to use, turning her country life into a viral blog post.
The neighborly grandmother brought her food every day, the owner of the little shop at the village entrance kept trying to set her up, and then there was Chen Yu, the doctor who was always “just passing by”
He'd say, “I was in the neighborhood, so I thought I'd help,” but his eyes were looking more and more suspicious.
Then one day, the System suddenly unlocked a new prompt: [Homestead blessing activated: Work together with someone who shares your feelings, and the land's fertility increases by 50%]
Su He looked at Chen Yu, who was helping her build a frame for the cucumber vines, and blinked in belated realization.
Wait, was this System... trying to set them up?
It's a bit like Yilin's novels, very literary and artistic. It doesn't use the simple and down-to-earth language that is common in farming novels. Basically every paragraph has to add a bit of rhetoric and sensationalism. It is more literal-minded and a bit maximalist. The story is about the farming life after returning to your hometown, like a utopia, and is suitable for readers who don't like bloody plots and prefer literary writing.
It is a relatively pure farming novel. The male and female protagonists have no worldly ambitions. They only have the desire to live a life they like. With the help of the heroine's golden finger, they work hard and have a relaxing and peaceful pastoral life. In fact, the author can write more, such as the father's reaction, the effect of his brother's transformation, the expansion and harvest of farming in the village, the return of the village youth, etc. This is the heroine's influence on the people around her from being a good herself. This kind of influence slowly expands the impact on the surrounding society, so that the story of the heroine living alone gradually integrates the background of the larger environment and becomes a complete work with more layers.
I really like the author's writing style, which gives me a slight sense of happiness. Life doesn't have to be in a hurry, you don't have to follow a routine, and you don't need to care too much about other people's rumors. Finding your own rhythm of life and satisfying your own spiritual world is actually a kind of happiness, isn't it?
It's quite good-looking. It's a relatively pure farming novel. The heroine has been farming in the countryside peacefully, and her relationship with the hero has developed slowly and step by step. There are no top stories and no big ups and downs in development.
It's really good. I've read so many books, and this one is very real. It doesn't have so many fancy words, not so many ups and downs, and is very close to life. Outside of the busy city life, reading a book like this at night makes me feel very comfortable. It's like I'm back to that life too.
Teacher, your writing style is very good. Every time Xiaohe writes a biography on Weibo, he can reveal the author's great delicacy. I really hope there will be a side story. I really want to see Xiaohe and Xiaoyu's daily life after marriage.
It's pretty good and peaceful. It would be better if you could add pictures, such as the layout of the yard 🤭
The tone is bland, but the whole story makes me feel relaxed. I like the love and life of the protagonist.
It's okay. I danced a little, and it was a bland farming story, but in the end it was quite heartwarming. The golden fingers didn't open too wide, so they were able to plant vegetables steadily.
It ended too hastily. I could write more, such as weddings or college students, young people returning to their hometowns to start their own businesses, etc. Others are pretty good, plain daily and heartwarming farming articles.
