   🍏🍏This period drama doesn't feature rural outreach, black markets, poverty alleviation, military marriages, or extreme characters. The first book tells the story of how the people in the steel mill's residential compound always said the Huang family was crazy—spending money to send a girl to high school! When the rural migration arrived, everyone in the compound waited to see the Huang family fail, to see Huang Qinqin slink away to the countryside to suffer. But instead of news of Huang Qinqin going to the countryside, they saw one after another of the Huang family members securing stable jobs as factory workers. And Huang Qinqin, far from being sent to the countryside in disgrace, married the son of the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau in a grand and glamorous ceremony?!

It wasn't that she didn't want to jump up; she simply had no strength left. She was so hungry that her stomach churned with acid, her body felt weak and limp, and she felt like she was about to die. No, forget the feeling. "Who are you?" She cried out in terror. Who wouldn't be frightened to see several people with sunken cheeks surrounded by such figures? Xiang Mianmian thought she was shouting, but her voice was barely a whisper, barely louder than a mosquito's buzz. Fortunately, Zhang Jidi was close enough to hear her. Her eyes welled up with tears.
