   The first book, "Having Only Half Satisfaction in Life", is a group portrait of the times. The story is based on Li Ting's plan to recruit a son-in-law who steps in to the house. The story is about the filial piety of the parents, which is very consistent with the changes of the times in the countryside. The author eloquently said that it felt like sitting under a tree at home, listening to the old people in the village telling stories to children. I am tired of seeing cliche love stories, this is refreshing. The second book, "Rebirth in the 1980s, Professor Lu's Country Wife Has Changed" is also a period novel about family life. The difference is that this is a romance novel, but it is well written. After the rebirth, both of them opened their mouths, and the heroine also thought about it and stopped holding back on herself!
