   Reader note

   This 1960s novel is incredibly good! It's about everyday family life, no stepmothers, military marriage, and revenge. The female lead is intelligent, works hard to get into a vocational school, and refuses to go to the countryside. Because there aren't many reviewers, the rating is a bit low. It mainly depicts the warm daily life of the main family. Its strength lies in its excellent portrayal of the era. This is the most focused on historical setting I've read on Tomato (a Chinese online literature platform). Prices are reasonable and precise, down to the cents or the number of tickets. The details are meticulous, and there aren't many awful characters. It feels like you're truly living in that era. The only downside is the slow pace; there isn't much romance yet. You can read it as a historical novel combined with a farming/rural setting.

   Don't let the low score fool you, it's really good. Long historical novels can be tricky to read; those without patience might not get into it. But this one is truly excellent, with a humorous writing style. It does have a lot of characters, a family drama centered around ethical issues. Those with a short attention span might want to skip it. The low score is probably because some readers can't remember it and say it's disorganized [laughing emojis]. But it meets the questioner's requirements and is particularly interesting.

   💖Book Recommendation by Xiaoguai💖 This book is complete, so you can read it without worry (❁´ω`❁)! This is a really long novel, spanning from the female lead's age of three to her marriage and childbirth. Both the male and female leads are reborn, without any spatial systems or cheat codes; they simply work hard to change the fate of their families, who were deceived and taken advantage of in their previous lives, escaping awful relatives and adapting to the changing times. It's a realistic record of the rise of a Wenzhou shoe store owner, showing ordinary people under the tide of a great era and the different outcomes of their choices. The characters are vividly portrayed, relatable, and very endearing!
