Description
Sang Luo traveled through time and was faced with a broken thatched hut and two children who were so hungry that they lost their looks. Being poor and being a widow was still better than losing your life. As for the lack of food at home, as long as they had hands, feet, and vast mountains, was there still a fear of starvation? Sang Luo wasn’t afraid; she rolled up her sleeves and got to work! ~ Shen Lie was pushed by his third uncle to serve in the military. After more than two years, when he returned to the village, the villagers were shocked to see him alive. Upon inquiry, he found out that not only had he “died,” but he also gained an unseen wife. Moreover, his wife and two younger siblings were all divided up and sent away by his third uncle and aunt. They lived in the area where the Shen family was exiled, in the makeshift thatched cottage in the mountains. A shabby thatched cottage which could kill people in windy and snowy days? He didn’t bother to go home and question his uncle; he suppressed his anger and hurried to the mountains. When he arrived in front of the thatched cottage in the wind and snow, he could hardly recognise it as the place where he had lived. This is a little different from what he thought… The house has obviously been repaired and is no longer as dilapidated as before. A high courtyard wall has been built with yellow mud outside the house, and an extra stove has been built in the courtyard. It was dinner time when a young woman came out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of hot food, followed by two children carrying rice, bowls, and chopsticks. As soon as they saw each other, the two children’s eyes widened, then they yelled “big brother” and rushed out. What if a husband falls from the sky? Waiting online it’s quite urgent.

My Thoughts on The Daily Life of Farming and Raising Children in Ancient Mountain Residences
This novel promised a cozy slice-of-life in ancient times, and while it delivered on that front, it also threw in some unexpectedly dark and compelling elements that kept me hooked. It's a story about survival, family, and finding humanity amidst chaos, and I found myself surprisingly invested in the journey.
First Impressions
Initially, I went in expecting a lighthearted transmigration story, where the protagonist easily solves all problems with her modern knowledge. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find a much more grounded and realistic portrayal of life for commoners during a time of war and political instability. The focus on daily struggles, farming, and slow-burn romance was refreshing.
What Works Well
One of the strongest aspects of this novel is its character development, particularly that of Shen Jin. Starting as a somewhat annoying and immature child, he undergoes a remarkable transformation into a responsible and caring young man. His growth is truly heartwarming, and I found myself rooting for him more than the main characters at times. He really does steal the show!
I also appreciated the author's depiction of the hardships faced by commoners during war. The novel doesn't shy away from the harsh realities of starvation, disease, and the moral compromises people make to survive. The main character's ability to use her knowledge to improve their lives, without magically inventing everything, felt believable and well-executed. The slow-burn romance between the leads was sweet, and I liked how supportive they were of each other. It was a refreshing change from the often-overdone tropes in this genre. The unity and loyalty within the core family group were also a major draw, creating a sense of warmth and hope amidst the difficulties.
Areas of Concern
While I enjoyed the novel overall, the ending felt a bit rushed and left some loose ends. I would have liked to see more closure for certain characters, particularly after the main characters journey to the capital. Also, while the slice-of-life aspect was appealing, the pacing could be slow at times, with a focus on minor characters that sometimes detracted from the main storyline.
