The protagonist of the story, Lin Mo, is a young man who grew up on a field. When his parents disappeared into the distant city and only he and his grandmother were left in the empty old house, it was his uncle Zhong Hao who was like a silent and reliable mountain, using his rough palms, warm stories and grasshopper cages woven from wheat straw to support him with a sky full of security. Zhong Hao, an ordinary farmer, has no earth-shattering feats, but uses the simplest actions - company on the field ridge, waiting in the snowy night, guarding in front of the sick bed, watching outside the examination room - to explain what "family" is. His love was like the moonlight in a straw cage, small and gentle, but enough to illuminate Lin Mo's lonely childhood and become the warmest background in his life.
The novel depicts the simplicity and poetry of rural life with delicate brushwork: grasshoppers on the field ridges, chess under the jujube trees, stories under the eaves on rainy nights, golden waves in the wheat field... These scenes full of local flavor are not only the background of Lin Mo's growth, but also the emotional connection between him and his uncle. As Lin Mo grew up, moved from the countryside to the county town, and then entered the Peking University of his dreams, his relationship with his uncle also experienced the test of time and space. From initial dependence and worship, it gradually evolved into a complex and deep bond. Faced with secular rumors, family changes and the pressure of life, their emotions wandered on the edge of ethics and true love, and finally found their home in understanding and acceptance.
