Seasons in the Countryside [Farming]

Song Qingyang, the younger son of the Song family, was gentle and obedient by nature, but he had the misfortune of being born to a pair of biased parents. Seeing how hardworking and capable he was, they kept him at home to do all the work. Before he knew it, he had reached the age for an arranged marriage, and an official runner forcibly assigned him a spouse. The villagers gossiped about him in private: “Arranged marriages never turn out well. The man from the Zhou family is cold and fierce, with muscles strong enough to kill an ox. This timid little fellow is so delicate and fair-skinned, he'll probably be tormented to death.” Little did they know... that the man who seemed so fierce and brutish was completely different in private. On rainy days, he made ginger soup for him. In his spare time, he roasted sweet potatoes with him. Under the shade of a tree on a blazing day, he chilled purple grapes in a white porcelain bowl filled with ice. When he returned from town after selling his game, he would have warm brown sugar cakes tucked inside his clothes. Only then did Song Qingyang understand that the man's strength wasn't meant to hurt him. It was meant to protect him. ★ No golden finger, just a slow-paced story about everyday life, eating, drinking, and farming ★ Mutual affection Theme: .
