[Sparrow's Masterpiece] It's about everyday family life, the mundane details of daily life, with both parents working, and the female lead being a junior high school student who doesn't go to the countryside to study after getting into 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 (a Chinese online literature platform). Prices are reasonable and precise, down to the cents or the number of tickets, with meticulous attention to detail and no excessive embellishments. 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/developmental story.

    The beginning might be a bit far-fetched (the synopsis about disfigurement is so-so), but the story is about a child reborn as a left-behind child in a rural elementary school. First, he earns money himself, then he tricks his parents into opening a factory near their workplace to improve their lives. He doesn't write novels (I really think there are so many stories about changing lives through writing novels, but I can't relate to them. Although I've read many different kinds of novels, I just can't write like that... So I can't understand them. I can't even remember the plot, the author, or the protagonist's name after reading a novel; I can only remember a few highlights).
