    This book is super good-looking. There is no stepmother in the army to get revenge. The heroine's IQ is online. She works hard to pass the technical secondary school and does not go to the countryside. The rating is a bit low because there are few people who rated it. It mainly describes the warm daily life of the protagonist's family. The advantage is that it has a sense of the times. This book is my favorite on Tomato I have seen the most emphasis on the description of the era background. The prices are reasonable and accurate, and the tickets are only a few cents. The details are exquisite, and there are not too many top-notch products. It seems like you are really living in that era, but the pace is a bit slower. There are not too many emotional scenes now. It can be read as a period novel ➕ farming novel.
