🌈After the old lady was reborn, she had her own job and stayed away from the wolf den. On the contrary, she watched the drama of the white-eyed wolf family every day, laughing at how each other tried to commit suicide step by step. 🌈The plot is relatively mild, not too intense, and generally contains verbal theories and short essays on common sense. 🌈If you like this type, you can check it out.

Reader note
Although it is a courtyard house, it is really interesting. The two-million-word serialization refuses routine writing. All members have online IQs, the writing style is humorous, and it is a clean book with no shit. Starting from 1953, the logic of a hard-core industrial power is rigorous. The protagonist, the golden-dressed sixth man, has no bad temper. He initially thought he was a saint, but later he found out that he was plotting against everyone around him. It is neither black nor witty, and breaks out of the black-and-white stereotype. The protagonist has a grand structure, cares about his family and country, has a clear goal, and uses knowledge beyond the times to make silent contributions. The dispute in the courtyard is just a background.

A very true novel, worth reading! The novel is written from the beginning of the 21st century. It takes Fang Lizhu, a child born in the 1980s in the rural area of Jianghan Plain in the central region, as the perspective. By describing the various people and events Fang Lizhu encounters during his studies and work, it reflects on the one hand the changes in the overall life of the people in the plain after entering the new century. On the other hand, it also reflects the various life patterns of small people in the face of great changes in the trend of the times and in the context of the big era and the big background, such as active or passive choices, active persistence or passive escape.
81 The Orphaned Daughter of a Martyr Joined the Army, and the Cold-Faced Officer Pampered Her Like Crazy! I Beg Tongmeng 1Modern Romance1.7M WordsOngoing 89.2kReads9.4Score8.9kShelves
Reader note
I've been reading this recently, serialized. It's a two-soldier story. The male and female protagonists are very well designed and have good business abilities (the male protagonist was born as a scout, but was marginalized in the early stage due to his generation background and is about to come back. The female protagonist is now working as a hygienist in the reconnaissance camp and has a good sense of investigation. They will work together in the future.) The love line is not pretentious. They are already together. I think it is very good. The long-distance relationship is about to end.

Reader note
My sister-in-law is the heroine of the original book. She is the best family member and has no golden fingers. The heroine immediately requested to separate the family when the hero was discharged from the army, and the two bought a small yard and moved out. The heroine has a cheerful personality and is a bit gossipy in daily life, but she will not lose her temper if others don't mess with her, and she won't get used to anyone who comes over to cause trouble. She will be beaten and scolded when necessary. Both of them are addicted to each other's beauty. The male protagonist sees his daughter-in-law every day and feels cute like this and that. The female protagonist also likes the male protagonist's appearance and urges the male protagonist not to gain weight and to protect his abdominal muscles. Live a warm and happy life.

The book I just finished reading is very realistic. It mainly tells the story of the heroine who traveled through time to the Republic of China. Through her experience, she describes the period from warlord to the Anti-Japanese War. The early stage is warm and the later stage is very cruel. It was really not easy for people at that time. Looking at it now, the motherland is really prosperous.

It's still close to reality, and it's not an exaggeration, especially in the second book. It was not feasible in that era for time-travelers to have golden fingers. It was very dangerous, and it was easy to be stared at. In the end, someone with a red armband was caught and died. The only one who has room to cause misfortune. Not the heroine
