[Cozy Everyday Life] If the Spring Breeze Cherishes Flowers, Could You Let Me Be Young Again?
What is this reading list about? It's about childhood dreams folded into paper planes, and the distant places we still long to embrace when we grow up. It's about how much sky a window can hold, and how far a pair of feet can carry us. It's about the seasons turning in the flower bed downstairs, and the gentleness the cat at the end of the alley teaches us. It's about the colorful figures who live between the pages of old books, and the romance we will one day write with our own hands. It's

The subject matter is good, but the author didn't develop it well, resulting in several minor flaws. I couldn't continue reading after a few chapters. 1: In the 1960s and 70s, rural roads were mostly dirt tracks; you couldn't walk seven or eight li (approximately 3.5-4 Kilometers) in half an hour. 2: The author may have misunderstood rural prices at the time, probably applying urban data.
It's ridiculous to see that you have to pay the village five yuan a month to open a sales point. Whether your monthly sales will even reach one hundred yuan, with a five percent commission, earning five yuan is still uncertain, not to mention the inevitable issue of credit sales.
The flaws just keep piling up. After reading over fifty chapters, I simply couldn't continue. There are too many factual errors; it's really unbearable to watch. Let's not even mention the problem of the price being written incorrectly by year, or the policy being written incorrectly by era. Let's not talk about the issue of not developing cheat codes.
Delete Zhong Yuemin and the others. Your novel is actually quite good. It's about an ordinary world, the Sun Shao-ping family, and his friends. It'll definitely be good. Zhong Yuemin and the others are from Beijing, while Sun Shao-ping is from the Northwest. There will definitely be more readers who want to see stories from the Northwest; the Northwest is more authentic.
The author must be a Celestial Being who got into trouble. "Why don't they eat meat porridge?" 1000 In 1968. That's equivalent to 300,000 today in purchasing power. Even more difficult, because people in that era didn't have many ways to make money. For a farmer to save 1000 was incredibly difficult. Can an average family afford a 300,000 dowry now? Do you really think this is TikTok?
I just don't understand. It's written about 1968, but you insist on using the dowry from 1975 as an analogy? If you were to use today's dowry as an analogy, it would be hundreds of thousands.
The timeline of "Ordinary World" is 1975. The original novel states that pork cost 70 cents a pound at that time, Sun Ping'an ate vegetables for 5 cents a pound at school, and sorghum flour cost 6 cents a pound. You're asking for a 1000 yuan dowry in the 1960s? Even in Beijing, people wouldn't dare ask for that much. Are you from Shaanxi that rich?
It's actually quite good for someone in their 30s. The cheat codes aren't too exaggerated, which is actually quite over the top. What use were they back then? There aren't any major flaws, and even if it's just average, it's still watchable!
The story of exchanging flatbread for a wife dates back to that era; the louder the song, the more bitter the heart, begging for food year after year. Oh, Orchid Flower! Boasting isn't called boasting, it's called blowing the "northwest wind."
This bride price is incredible! 100 Years later, experts suggest lowering it, learning from people a century ago. According to a mobile app called Weibo, their bride price was only 10 million yuan back then. 🙂
