[A childhood-friends story about growing up and food, with a warm tone. The romance begins in college.]
Blurb: Lu Xiao, who has been sensitive to kindness and malice since childhood, is the son of a family that made a fortune from demolition compensation. When their home was demolished, his family received ten apartments. He's a wealthy local in Jiangcheng.
He's cheerful and loves making friends.
Then one day, a transfer student named Song Jing joined his class.
Lu Xiao watched Song Jing's cool looks and plain clothes, while a chorus of classmates' comments rang in his ears.
"Look at how cool he is. He must be hard to talk to."
"His clothes are so old. Is his family poor? Should we help him?"
"He's so handsome. I really want to be friends with him, but he looks kind of fierce."
Song Jing, who looked kind of fierce: I'm so nervous. Everyone here has such nice clothes, and they're all so friendly to me.
What should I do? Lu Xiao is just like the little white rabbit I raise. He's so cute.
Their classmates took great care of the handsome guy who seemed a little fierce, being careful not to hurt his pride.
That is, until the day they saw Song Jing's enormous villa.
Lu Xiao: Didn't you say you were a farmer's kid? How come you live in a mansion?
Song Jing: Xiao Xiao, I... I really am a farmer's kid. My family just has a little more land.
Classmates: Tell us, just how much land does your family own?
Later, the two went from classmates to friends and then lovers.
Lu Xiao: Song Jing, how much of your family's land hasn't been acquired yet?
Song Jing: Xiao Xiao, there's still some land at home. I want to marry you and bring you home to be my landlord.
Song Jing in his classmates' eyes: A cool guy who doesn't talk much and comes from a poor family.
Song Jing in Lu Xiao's eyes: A clingy chatterbox who loves whispering in his ear, and a first-generation landowner.
Upcoming novel: Rong the Butcher in the Seventies
Blurb: Rong Rong had just received his university acceptance letter when he transmigrated.
He opened his eyes in the 1970s, as the youngest son of a slaughterhouse butcher.
His father was the only person in the whole production brigade with a county-town job, a prized child of the family. His mother was famous throughout the brigade for being capable.
His eldest brother was the only high school graduate in the brigade.
His second brother was the brigade's notorious troublemaker.
His third brother was an outstanding swimmer.
His childhood friend, Big Orange, was a genius baby.
Newborn Rong Rong blew bubbles and sighed: I don't seem to have anything special going for me.
Rong Rong thought he would be a lazy nobody in the 1970s. But soon he discovered he had so much love in his life. He wanted to make life better for everyone who loved him.
So he started giving his father advice and became his mother's thoughtful little darling. He listened to his brothers and worked hard alongside them.
Before long, as the market opened up, his family started a pig farm and became famous across the surrounding villages as pork kings. Later, Rong Rong and his childhood friend Big Orange opened a pork-processing factory, preserving traditional foods.
As an adult, Rong Rong savored crunchy pig ears and fragrant braised pig trotters, looking completely satisfied.
Of course, it would be even better if he could ignore the clingy guy behind him, hugging him and refusing to let go.
Clingy Gu Cheng: Rong Rong, don't forget your Big Orange!
