    Bang! A muffled thud echoed, followed by a woman's curses and a girl's soft sobs. Beside the well in the factory's residential area, three women were washing vegetables and chatting. The sudden sound startled them, causing them to stop what they were doing. They then exchanged knowing glances. "Zhang Zhaodi is hitting the child again. Wanwan used to be such a cheerful little girl, but now she's timid and hesitant, not even daring to speak loudly. Ah! It's so hard for a child without parents to protect her." The first to speak was Aunt Cui'e from the second floor. Her husband worked at the factory, and she didn't have a job, mostly doing housework and taking care of their three children. Perhaps thinking of her own children, she felt a pang of sympathy for Lin Wanwan's plight. Since becoming a mother, she couldn't bear to see her child suffer. But in those times of scarcity, no one had it easy, and she couldn't really help much. Only occasionally, when Lin Wanwan was alone, would she secretly slip her some food to fill the thin girl's stomach. "Who says otherwise? I heard Zhang Zhaodi's husband is still doing work..."

    These are mostly 1v1 stories, featuring a sent-down youth and a rough-and-tumble man. In the first book, the female lead doesn't have a spatial ability or any transformation powers. She marries the male lead within ten chapters, which is quite fast. In the second book, the female lead is a sent-down youth, and the male lead is a rough-and-tumble retired soldier. The third book has good writing, the female lead isn't a saint, has a decisive personality, and it's very satisfying when she punishes the villains.

    💥⚡⚡🌈Both of these books feature male and female leads who were sent to the countryside as educated youth.🌈 Book 1🌈 The male lead travels from ancient times to the present, while the female lead travels from the present to the near – a great character setup. The female lead is strong-willed, while the male lead is refined and can cook. Book 2💥 The female lead is stingy yet funny, and often needs the male lead to discipline her. The male lead is very capable and dotes on her, but he's not the mature, older type. Sometimes his thought process is quite quirky; for example, when the female lead's small storage space is revealed, the male lead actually thinks she's a hamster spirit – I laughed so hard!
