   Who says the 1970s can only be miserable haha? This old lady went with the army to start a wonderful literary life. My family, I recently dug out a superb period novel - "Old lady Lu and her daughter went to the army in the 1970s". It would be a big loss if you don't read it! The story is very catchy from the beginning. Mrs. Lu, who is eighty years old and still strong, wakes up and returns to the 1970s. She is still several decades younger and directly wants to give birth to a biological daughter! The daughter was married to a soldier and was pregnant. Her son-in-law was qualified enough to join the army. Without saying anything, Mrs. Lu immediately decided to join the army with her daughter and start a new life. On the way with the army, Mrs. Lu was not idle. She helped her daughter solve a lot of troubles by relying on modern knowledge and spatial golden fingers. As soon as she arrived at the station, she encountered a shortage of supplies. Other family members looked sad, but Mrs. Lu calmly took out fresh vegetables and exquisite pastries from the space, instantly becoming the focus of the family home. She also distributed the seeds in the space to everyone, taught them to grow off-season vegetables and improve their food, and soon gained a lot of goodwill. In her life with the army, Mrs. Lu was also worried about her daughter's pregnancy and her son-in-law's career. Once, the son-in-law was in a low mood because his ability was questioned because he failed in a military mission. Mrs. Lu patiently enlightened and gave a lot of constructive suggestions based on her own knowledge, helping her son-in-law get back on his feet and successfully shine in subsequent tasks. The detailed descriptions in the book are also outstanding. For example, in order to cook a nutritious confinement meal for her daughter, Mrs. Lu carefully selected ingredients in the space, and her concentration seemed to be right in front of her eyes; there was also a quarrel between her and other old ladies in the family home, and she silenced each other in just a few words, which was both relieving and funny. This novel has no intrigue and house fighting, only full of warmth and healing, allowing people to immerse themselves in the warm daily life of that special era. If you also like to read period articles that are full of life, light-hearted and sweet, be sure not to miss it and catch up quickly!

    "The Truth about Wrong Marriage" The story takes place on the wedding day of the eldest daughter of the Jiang family. The bustling Jiang Mansion is decorated with lights and colorful decorations and is crowded with guests. The sedan chair was carried into the Xiao Mansion. According to the procedure, the groom Xiao Yunze was about to step forward and lift the bride's hijab. Suddenly a gust of wind blew by and the bright red hijab fell to the ground. When everyone saw Jiang Yuning's face clearly, they couldn't help but hold their breath. Under the gentle and affectionate eyebrows, there is a pair of watery eyes that look forward to the sky. At this moment, because he is too anxious, his eyes are full of water, and his cheeks are also red like rouge, which is extremely distressing. The bright red wedding dress made her skin look like snow, making her both delicate and beautiful. Jiang Yuning, who had lifted her hijab, knelt down without even thinking, and said to Mrs. Xiao, who was sitting in the main seat, "Old madam, I am not the eldest daughter of the Jiang family." Nanny Li never thought that Jiang Yuning would refuse to accept her fate at this moment and actually do something like this at this time. She was panicked for a moment, but she quickly calmed down and secretly teased Jiang Yuning. "Eldest Miss, what are you talking about? Stop making trouble. If word gets out, it will be said that the eldest lady has no way to teach her daughter." As she spoke, Nanny Li pinched Jiang Yuning secretly. "Old madam, don't listen to our eldest lady's nonsense. She is just..." Before Grandma Li could finish her words, Jiang Yuning said, "Old madam, I really am not talking nonsense. I am indeed not the eldest lady of the Jiang family. I am the second young lady of the Jiang family." Mrs. Xiao frowned, and Xiao Yunze also looked shocked. Jiang Yuning continued: "Old madam, my sister Jiang Xuening suddenly fell seriously ill a few days ago. The eldest madam was afraid of delaying the marriage, so she asked me to marry her on her behalf. I really dare not lie, so I can only tell the truth." At this time, the eldest lady of the Jiang family hurriedly stepped forward and said with an apologetic smile: "Old madam, this little girl is ignorant. She must have been too nervous before the marriage, so she talked nonsense. My Xuening is fine, there is no serious illness." Mrs. Xiao looked at the eldest lady with sharp eyes and said, "Madam, this is not a trivial matter. If your second lady is really pretending to be her, this is a crime of deceiving the king." At this moment, the servant came to report that the eldest lady of the Jiang family, Jiang Xuening, wanted to see her. Jiang Xuening was carried in, and her face was pale and her breath was weak. She said weakly: "Old madam, Yunze, I am sorry for you. I am indeed seriously ill, and my mother was afraid of delaying the marriage, so she asked her second sister to take my place." Mrs. Xiao sighed and said, "In this case, the marriage cannot be forgotten. But now that Xiao Xiao is seriously ill, what should we do?" Jiang Yuning stood up and said firmly: "Old madam, although I am here under an imposter, I am willing to take on this responsibility. I will serve the Xiao family well and respect Yunze as a guest."

The second and fourth books have relatively weak female protagonists. Those who like love at first sight and strong male protagonists can read it.
