    This book is incredibly good! It's about everyday family life, the female lead doesn't go to the countryside to study at a vocational school. The rating is a bit low because there aren't many reviewers. It mainly depicts the warm and cozy daily life of the main family. Its strength lies in 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 and tickets, the details are meticulous, and there aren't many awful things. 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 fiction combined with a farming/rural life story.

The voice was too familiar, like his sister Zhou Dongnan, but she had clearly committed suicide by jumping into the river in the summer of 1986… His consciousness gradually cleared, but his body wouldn't obey him. He tried desperately to raise his hand to rub his eyes, his brain frantically sending commands. It felt like a long time had passed before his hands and feet gradually returned to normal. This feeling was strange, like after surgery under general anesthesia—dazed yet incredibly real. Where am I? Why is it so cold?! He felt tears falling on his face, warm and comforting.
