   This book is really good, and it's a no-romance novel. There's no male lead who's dim-witted, causes trouble, or holds the team back. The whole village is very united and trusts the female lead. She's neither a saintly, naive girl nor ruthless or without principles. Because she was a poverty alleviation secretary in her previous life, she was able to be reborn because of the people's faith, so she has a great heart and a broad perspective. It's highly recommended, super good, everyone should read it!

    A true story of infrastructure and commercial development. It describes the construction of large-scale, multi-acre farms in rural areas, recruiting middle-aged and elderly villagers to work. Not only did the farmers become wealthy, but they also provided stable and happy lives for the villagers. These farms were found in almost every city, eventually spreading throughout rural areas across the country. Later, the influence of the farm workers greatly boosted the township economy, thus driving national economic growth. (This is my own book, so I'm shamelessly promoting it.
