    🌻[Double Cleanliness, Mutual Pampering, Rebirth, Adorable Baby, Sweet Romance] This man is really troublesome, doesn't he let anyone sleep?! Before her rebirth, Chu Yunqi hated marrying the unromantic and inconsiderate rough man Mo Qingshan. Only after death did she understand that it was the love of a tough guy, unspoken but shown. Reborn back to the day of her divorce from Mo Qingshan, Chu Yunqi felt nauseous and hugged Mo Qingshan's waist tightly: Comrade Mo Qingshan, if you dare to abandon your wife and child, I'll die right here! Mo Qingshan hoisted Chu Yunqi onto his shoulder, and Chu Yunqi was shocked: You, what do you want to do? Mo Qingshan: Chu Yunqi, you were born to be my Ying Qingshan, you slept on my bed, you died to be my ghost, and you entered my grave. Go home and rest!

    💐Just finished reading this all night and am still following the updates. The protagonist is reborn in 1979, returning to the city from the countryside. He uses connections to become a water supplier on a train, and gradually becomes wealthy by trading crickets. Unlike other period dramas, the protagonist's family is incredibly warm and loving. It's truly addictive!

    I recommend reading these two novels about officialdom. Listening to them makes them even more engaging, especially the first one—the teacher's live narration is fantastic.
