In 1960, Zhou Shuyue, a 16-year-old girl from Zhoujia Village, nicknamed Tomato Girl, was a down-to-earth farm girl. When she needed it most, a voice sounded in her mind: [The tomato planting assistance system has been activated! Plant tomatoes, eat tomatoes, and work to create a better life!
The villagers didn't quite understand it at first, wondering why this girl always wanted to plant "red fruits".
Until the tomatoes she grew were so big and red that they bent the branches;
Until she tried to make tomato sauce and dried tomatoes, and the elders in the village tasted them and said they were delicious;
Until she led a small team of sisters from the village, and the things she made were noticed by the commune's purchasing point, and she exchanged the needed farm tools for the team...
Zhou Shuyue ate home-grown tomatoes and felt warm in her heart as she watched the lives of people in the village gradually improve. Who said tomatoes are just snacks? She wants to use this red fruit to add some real sweetness to everyone's days.
Reader comments
A good book with a novel subject matter. I have read too many books about knowingly going to the countryside and pretending to be cool! Suddenly seeing this different country girl's awakening system is quite refreshing.
