Novel blurb:
Chang Le lost her job and slunk back to her hometown.
Her family all agreed: It's fine. At worst, we'll keep supporting you.
Jobs are hard to find these days. You might as well stay home as a full-time daughter. Your food and lodging are free, and you'll even get pocket money now and then.
Chang Le happily accepted, ready to start enjoying a carefree life of lying flat.
She never expected that being a full-time daughter would involve such a motley assortment of duties:
Taking Mom to and from senior college during the day, helping Grandpa with makeup and outfits so he can film short videos at night, going up the mountain with Dad on weekends to knock down hornets' nests, accompanying Grandma on bargain-basement senior tours every few days, and even helping her single-dog mom through postpartum recovery, looking after the baby, and finding a man...
Three months later, Chang Le summed up her job:
A fiercely competitive mom, a chuunibyou dad, eccentric grandparents, and her, working like a beast of burden to serve the whole family.
So being a full-time daughter means being the whole family's driver, nanny, bodyguard, and assistant...
Chang Le: If I'm going to be worked like a beast of burden either way, I might as well get a job. [wry smile.jpg]

One good thing about staying home is that she meets more people, and romance comes along with it.
Bachelor No. 1 is the handsome childhood friend unanimously approved by her family.
Chang Le: No. He brings me bad luck. He's been doing it since we were kids.
Bachelor No. 2 is the hornet hunter Dad admires so much.
Chang Le: Tsk. Winking at a blind man. Straight men are hopeless.
Bachelor No. 3 is the young erhu teacher Mom recommends.
Chang Le: Huh. Wasn't he the one begging for money outside the City God Temple last time?
Bachelor No. 4...
Chang Le: That's enough! Why don't you worry about your own affairs instead? Mom, have you finished your calligraphy homework? Dad, next time you can take care of the hornets' nest yourself. Grandpa, could your videos be a little more original? Grandma, every travel agency in town has blacklisted you...
-A family comedy, with little focus on romance. There are several male lead candidates, and they'll have to compete for the job.
Theme: Home is a harbor we can always return to
This book is a real hit for me. I am also in this period of time. I envy Chang Le for having a happy family. Every family member wants to be happy without stumbling upon others, and will not force others to obey themselves. I want to say that this book is really a sample of a happy family, with laughter and tears. Look at my life, just like in the words. If you want to be free, pursue a broader world. If you want to stop, rest and accumulate energy. There is no wrong choice in any choice. You have to walk out on your own.
This book is really very good. In fact, it has been a long time since I read it, but when I think of it, I still feel that it is so good that it touches my soul. The author must be a person who loves life and is good at observation. Many small things in the book actually happened in life, which made me feel that the lovely characters in the novel are like friends around me. The background is realistic, but the plot and writing are full of fun and fairy tale feel. I seem to be able to appreciate the small happiness and the courage to live, even though there are still so many dissatisfactions in real life. The data is not worthy of the meaning of this novel. I look forward to the next works ~
Finished reading finished reading! I really like this story. The heroine and I are in very similar situations now, and we can resonate strongly with each other in many places. Chang Le's family is very cute and unique. I like my mother very much. She is so kind and transparent! But the emotional line, I personally didn't like it too much, because Chang Le made me think in the early stage that she really regarded Yi Cheng as a friend. I have always been a CB person, but I can understand two people being together. Hope everyone is getting better and better! [Spread flowers]
It's really beautiful! Write the voices of countless people! It's so cozy, such a home is so desirable
I like this story very much. The author writes it very well and has many resonances. In fact, when I started reading this book, I was in the same confusion and hardship as Chang Le. Fortunately, Chang Le found the direction of life, and my life gradually became clear. I am very grateful to the author for writing such a warm story.
I can't bear to say goodbye to Chang Le, my warm, soft and tolerant little home. [Crying] I can't bear to say goodbye to Chang Le. I hope we can all find our own way back.
The warmth of reality, with a hint of dreamy longing
