In the spring of the first year of Qiyuan, the war began to subside.
Eight-year-old Zhou Ciyi followed her family and finally stopped in a small village called Xiliu.
My grandfather is a doctor, my grandmother is good at embroidery, my father is an honest farmer, my mother is a gentle housekeeper, my brother-in-law is a scholar who has quit his career, and my brother is steady and careful - this family has its own craftsmanship and its own aspirations.
The dilapidated adobe courtyard, the deserted vegetable patch behind the house, and the unfamiliar southern accent. Everything has to be started from scratch.
My grandfather carried a basket of medicine on his back and went from house to house, exchanging benevolence for trust; my grandmother's embroidery needles embroidered not only flowers and birds, but also the dignity of life; my father worked hard to open up wasteland and cultivate the land, spilling sweat into the soil; my mother took care of the housework while thinking about her lost natal family; my brother-in-law copied books in exchange for money, and also taught his nieces and nephews to read a few words.
And Zhou Ciyi, this soft but not squeamish little girl, clumsily but seriously learned how to plant a new spring in the ruins among the firewood, rice, oil, salt, medicine, fragrance, needlework, and interactions with neighbors.
Reader comments
The writing is very plain, but very delicate. The plain writing is full of warm and touching emotions. The author's writing style is really good. The kindness and persistence of the characters let us see that our ancestors are also like this, so they can survive to this day.
What a delicate daily life~ The days just pass by in an ordinary way~ The author will give you a lot of support for more updates.
The story is actually pretty good, but it feels too repetitive. I have always listened to books, and what I read aloud was full of repetitive words, which really reduced my interest in reading. Although, apart from this shortcoming, this book is still very good. Keep up the good work.
Delicate, emotional, and especially beautiful
The writing is delicate and eloquent, and I like this kind of life that is very plain and full of life.
The writing is quite good, but there are a few flaws. Wasn't it Xiu Niang who read the first letter from her mother's family? The second time she said she couldn't read. From the news brought back by Zhou An earlier, she knew that Xiu Niang's family was in Liujiaji. How did she find out later?
A life that flows slowly and slowly, with no contradictions, is pretty good
It's quite heartwarming, come on! It feels a bit like the old things in the south of the city. I hope the family is safe and sound.
The content is rich and delicate, the writing is comfortable, and the main thing is a good attitude
There is no time travel or rebirth. I really like the way a family works hard to live.
The writing is very good and gives people the feeling of a long stream. Each character has its own unique flavor. I hope the author will update it soon.
Very well written and down to earth
Very beautiful, so eloquent
Will we be able to find my grandparents and the others in the future? Woohoo!
It's okay. If you like daily life, you can check it out.
It's pretty good-looking, about escaping, reclaiming land, and learning medical skills. I like everything there. The writing is good.
The writing is really good, and it's very comfortable to read. It's a smooth and steady life, and it's good that I haven't seen any weird things so far.
The daily life described by the author is full of fireworks and simple life, soothing people's hearts, and teaching by words and deeds is the best education.
