    The author is likely a government official; the writing is excellent. The male protagonist comes from a wealthy family: his maternal grandfather is the mayor, his father is a factory director, and his mother is a school principal. His father later even rises to the position of provincial discipline inspection commissioner. Of course, the male protagonist achieves even greater success later on. The female protagonist comes from a poor family but is self-reliant and strong, helping her disabled brother gradually escape their small village. She becomes a top scorer in the college entrance examination and a highly accomplished academician.

    This book is super good! It's a military marriage with no stepmothers, a revenge story, and the female lead is intelligent, works hard to get into a vocational school, and doesn't want to go to the countryside. The rating is a bit low because there aren't many reviewers. It mainly depicts the warm daily life of the main family. A major advantage is its excellent sense of the era; this is the most focused on historical setting I've read on Tomato Book. Prices are reasonable and precise, down to the cents or the number of tickets. The details are meticulous, and there aren't too 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 romance combined with a farming/rural setting.

    These are all highly recommended; they're really good. The first book mainly tells the story of Ming Dai, a sent-down youth, and Zhou Sinian, a former soldier now a sent-down youth who has been driven insane. The first half of the novel focuses on Ming Dai caring for and healing Zhou Sinian, followed by their revenge against the villains. The first half is very heartwarming, depicting everyday family life—very healing, especially the interactions between Ming Dai and Zhou Sinian, which are particularly fun. The slightly crazy male lead at the beginning loves wearing a red headscarf and knitting sweaters, playing with children—very funny. The revenge against the villains later on is also quick and satisfying. The second book features Su Jingshu, a woman from ancient times who travels to the present and gradually adapts to her new society. The male lead, seemingly a good-for-nothing but actually very capable, falls for her from the start and later marries her. She moves out of the sent-down youth compound. Their marriage is very heartwarming, and her family loves her dearly. It's a very happy and heartwarming read. Later, the male and female leads travel to ancient times. The third book is really well-written; it has a sense of destiny, and the author's character development is superb. I didn't feel much connection with the male lead in this book, but the female lead, Zhang Liuliu, and her family were truly wonderful. The female lead herself was also very interesting; her nickname was Liuliu, and her real name was Zhang Jianqiang (Strong Zhang). After learning she was a supporting character, she worked hard to change her fate, bringing her mother back to the city, breaking up with the original female lead, Fu Bao, and living her own life, even going into politics later. The female lead's father, Zhang Qi, was also well-developed. He loved his wife and daughter, and with the female lead's help, became the women's director of the production brigade. Later, he moved to the city and became the women's director in a factory as well. This character was truly unique. The female lead's mother was also intelligent and kind, but I felt her portrayal in the novel was somewhat flat. However, her friendship with the original female lead Fu Bao's mother was very touching. Then there's the female lead's grandmother, who was also very well-written, especially in the novel. Because of her eldest son's wife, the grandmother broke ties with her second son, and when she returned, she cried, which really made you feel that even mothers are vulnerable. In short, this book is very well-written, especially the character development, which is complex and diverse. Many events gave me a sense of destiny. Everyone should check it out. Finally, I felt the ending was too rushed, as it didn't delve enough into the female lead's political career. The fourth book mainly focuses on the life of the female protagonist, Qian Laixi. It's fast-paced, with a lot of scenes depicting her childhood and adolescence. After that, it covers her college entrance exams, her university studies, and her career at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This book doesn't have a romantic pairing. The female protagonist graduated 66 years ago and then started working, so the novel basically ends after the Cultural Revolution. It's well-written, quite heartwarming and ordinary, with few extreme characters that the female protagonist can handle. The fast pace makes it quite appealing.
