    🦋🦋I only recommend it after reading the whole book. It's a period novel, very immersive. It's very good, a modern-day rags-to-riches story about farming, using the male protagonist's background and emotions to interweave the era of national prosperity and strength. Very moving. The story spans from the 1960s to the 2000s. 🌿🌿A female educated youth, due to a fake heiress incident, is sent to the countryside by her adoptive parents, where she encounters the son of a landlord abandoned by his parents. It incorporates stories from many different eras. The female protagonist is dedicated to agricultural development to enrich the people, while the male protagonist is committed to national strength. 🛳🚢The backgrounds of the male and female protagonists🌸🌸 introduce the turmoil and emotions of that era. The female protagonist later dedicates herself to agricultural experiments, witnessing the journey of many ordinary Chinese people from poverty to economic takeoff, and the frustration of enduring foreign oppression when the country was neither backward nor wealthy. 🌷🌷You'll be captivated by each situation and story, tense and eagerly anticipating the ending, while the romance between the male and female protagonists is merely a embellishment. This is a really good book; I read it in one go. Thankfully it's finished, and it's definitely worth keeping. 🥊🥊

    These are two very good farming novels. The male and female protagonists are very good, and there is nothing super. The plot is compact and well connected, not sloppy at all, and the writing style of the two books is also very good. I love it ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
