Tú Sắc Nông Gia – Quả Vô
Happened accidentally into a different era, in her past life, she was unloved by her parents. In this life, she has a simple and honest husband, facing a poor and desolate house, with villagers avoiding her, thinking that if she wants better days, she must try harder…
Set in an ancient rural village, with more gossip, but also more happiness…
Editor’s Note:
This is a farming novel with not too many thrilling plots or an overpowered female lead. She traverses to a world where she has a husband and a struggling family. The male lead is not overly handsome or domineering, just a normal, kind, honest farmer who loves and protects his wife, taking responsibility for the family. The female lead helps him overcome insecurities, harmonize with neighbors, strive for prosperity, care for and support everyone… as the author says, more gossip, but also more happiness.
After a Spring rain, all beings come alive, rainwater resting on beautiful flowers adds to their charm. Wet leaves turn fresh green. Cheerful birds flutter in the forest, gently spreading their wings under the warm morning sun. The sky is a deep blue, white clouds stacked like a beautiful painting.
On the main road in Dương village, a few small figures happily run around. Leading them is a boy in purple pants, neatly combed hair tied at the back of his neck, carrying a light blue fabric bag with a cross-stitched lamb design on one side and small flowers on the other. The boy proudly wears the bag in front, displaying the lamb design on top. Curious children surround him, eyeing the bag he’s wearing.
“Hán Nhi, what’s inside this bag?” Cát Căn, younger than Dương Ngọc Hán, asks with wide eyes, curious.
Dương Ngọc Hán raises the bag proudly: “It’s called a school bag, of course, it holds books. My mother said, how can you go to school without a bag?” Then he opens the bag for the kids to see inside, with a Tam Tự scripture book, a small notebook made by Loan Loan to help boys practice writing. There’s also a long box with a bamboo tree engraved on top, immediately catching the children’s attention.
Among the children, Đại Bảo and Tiểu Bảo are the oldest. Đại Bảo points to the box and asks, “What’s this?”
Dương Ngọc Hán carefully takes out the box, sits down, finds a clean spot to place it. The other kids also sit down. Loan Loan had Tạ Dật find someone to make this box, based on modern pen box designs. It’s long with simple bird and animal engravings on top, lined with canvas inside to hold two pens. The box doesn’t have many beautiful flower and bird prints like modern pen boxes, so she had a master carve a few small bird images. The carver invited by Tạ Dật is the best, making the small bird images look vivid, as if about to fly out. Furthermore, ink pens were used to outline the small birds, making them even more lively.
