He Xiaohua is fourteen, an ordinary girl from a small town whose biggest worry is whether she can come in first on her next exam.
Then one day, her birth parents suddenly arrive in a car.
“You’re our biological daughter. We lost you and have been looking for you for over a decade. Come home with us.”
He Xiaohua: ???
Wait, did someone get the script wrong? Isn’t the real heiress supposed to suffer from childhood, then go through all kinds of hardships to come home and face-slap everyone? But she’s had a pretty good life so far.
She hears there’s also an adopted older sister in the family. Well, at least that part fits the setup.
But when she gets to her new home, things don’t follow the script at all. Her sister is a cheerful ray of sunshine, and her parents are loving and open-minded. The whole family is a model household.
The promised sister rivalry? Doesn’t exist.
Everyone is just focused on figuring out how to make the most of their lives.
It's okay. It's quite real and very ordinary. It feels like growing vegetables in the countryside.
It is a very real novel. Sometimes when I read it, I am reminded of some interesting things I did when I was a child. For example, I often did peeling corns in elementary school. It is very heartwarming and not bad.
The author's writing is very good. I cried several times while reading it. 😢 I hope Xiaojin can be happier. The camaraderie between the team members is also very touching.
