   The protagonist of this book, Qiao Yuwan, is a fifteen-year-old girl who, having just graduated from high school, is told by her parents to go to the countryside. The reason given is to make room for her brother's wedding. Qiao Yuwan possesses a spatial ability, with enough resources to last several lifetimes. Going to the countryside is not a hardship for her; on the contrary, it brings her more freedom! She wants to enjoy life, eat meat, listen to the radio, and watch TV! "Mom, what did you say?" Qiao Yuwan's eyes widened, asking in disbelief. "Speak louder, I didn't quite hear you. You said you've already signed me up to go to the countryside?" Her voice rose several octaves, filled with obvious anger and incomprehension. "Why?" "I said I wouldn't go to the countryside, I'll find a job!" "Mom, you and Dad are so cruel! I'm only fifteen and you're sending me to the countryside!!" "Am I not your biological daughter? How could you do something like this!" Qiao Yuwan was so agitated she almost cried. "Xiao Wan, aren't you just tearing my heart out with those words?" Qiao's mother lowered her voice, afraid the neighbors would hear, and gestured for Qiao Yuwan to be quiet as well. "If you don't have a job, you'll have to go to the countryside! You said you're only fifteen, what factory would hire someone as young as you?" "They're afraid you can't handle the work in the workshop, and you'd never get a chance in the office! It's better for us to volunteer to go to the countryside than for the neighborhood committee to come looking for us. We can even choose where we want to go." "Look at your second sister, she volunteered and chose the brigade next to your grandma's." "Erdaowan is a very wealthy brigade, they have more grain than they can eat. Going there to the countryside is a real blessing. Would your son want that blessing?" Qiao Yuwan rolled her eyes without hesitation, "This is the first time I've ever heard anyone say they're going to the countryside to enjoy a life of luxury." "This novel is truly superb. The protagonist, Qiao Yuwan, in a rural area during the 1970s, uses her spatial abilities and wisdom to not only improve her own life but also lead her fellow villagers to prosperity. Furthermore, the novel's descriptions of family relationships, the lives of educated youth sent to the countryside, and the historical context are incredibly detailed, allowing readers to truly experience the customs and traditions of that era. I hope the author continues to maintain this creative passion and brings us more excellent works."

You can skip ahead; before the male lead appears, it's definitely a parenting and enjoyable story.

The female lead is reborn before the male lead's death. Unlike most rebirth stories, she didn't abandon her husband and children in her previous life. Her relationship with the male lead was more about regret. She disliked the male lead for some reasons in her previous life, but in this life, she decides to live a good life with him. Super sweet!
