   In 1968, at No. 67, Laoma Alley, Sanshu Street, the coldest day of the lunar calendar arrived. A cold wind blew through the windows, and a thin layer of frost condensed under the eaves. "He Chunsheng, you spoil her all the time, but this year the egg supply has dropped again. I begged and pleaded to get some tickets so I could give Lü Lan some to eat, and look what happened—most of them ended up in her stomach!" A sharp, angry voice came from the courtyard. Instantly, the women sitting at their doorways sewing shoe soles and pasting matchboxes looked up, their eyes fixed on the source of the voice, but their work didn't stop. "She, as an aunt, has the nerve to compete with a pregnant woman for food! If she doesn't give me an explanation today, you're sending her back!" "Dongbao is still young and doesn't understand. Why are you arguing with her? I'll ask a colleague tomorrow..."

    Reader note

    This book, a military marriage with no stepmother and a revenge plot, focuses on the protagonist's hard work to get into a vocational school and avoid rural life. It primarily depicts the warm daily life of the main family. Its strength lies in its excellent sense of the era; this is the most historically accurate book I've read on Tomato (a Chinese author), with reasonable prices, meticulous details, and few extreme characters. It truly feels like living in that era. The only downside is the slow pace; there isn't much romance yet. It can be read as a historical fiction combined with a farming/developmental story.
