I Became Rich by Eating Melons in the Era of Literature (1970s)

  As a melon eater in the new era, Jiang Youtao is like a melon in the melon field. She is there wherever there are melons. So on a thunderstorm night with lightning and rain, she traveled through time and became a poor little girl with the same name in the 1970s.   The poor little girl lost her mother at an early age, and her scumbag father remarried. Not only did she not have enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear, but she also had to do endless housework and endure endless beatings and scolding.   The time when Jiang Youtao traveled through time was the moment when the poor scumbag father forced the original owner to go to the countryside to take over his stepbrother's place in order to have someone to take care of him in his old age and to smash a pot after his death.   Thinking about the environment of hunger and cold in this era, Jiang Youtao's eyes went dark. In the last second before she lost consciousness, a voice appeared in her mind:   [ Ding ~ The melon-eating system is at your service. As long as you complete the melon-eating task, you can exchange it for supplies~~]   In order to have enough food and clothes, Jiang Youtao tried hard, so she ran around in the bloody world that was a fusion of many contemporary literatures, either eating melons or on the way to eat melons.   A certain educated youth from the same educated youth point traveled through time with space supplies, but ended up being a poverty alleviation stepmother;   "The mission is here ~ Watch and mess up the first meeting between the male and female protagonists, and the rewards are: 3 meat buns, 500g beef jerky, 1kg butter melon seeds."   A young wife in the village who had just been married for one day woke up and wanted to divorce her husband and marry her ex-husband's uncle;   "Ding ~ Watch the famous scene of the heroine getting divorced and applaud in public to receive 5kg of rice, 250g of pork, 5 feet of cloth, and 1kg of salt and pepper melon seeds."   The accountant's eldest granddaughter is a well-known lucky bag, while the second granddaughter is a jinx who is plagued by bad luck;   "Ding ~ Watch the jinx star commit suicide and help her, and you will get 5kg of white flour, a chicken drumstick, and 1kg of green tea flavored melon seeds."   Jiang Youtao enjoyed eating melons, and the melon seeds in her hand kept increasing. She had to go out to sell them. Before she knew it, she had made a fortune by selling melon seeds and became a famous roasted food king after the reform and opening up. The courtyard houses in Beijing and the small houses in Haishi were no longer a dream for her. She could go wherever she wanted.   But while she was eating the melon, a figure suddenly appeared beside her. Jiang Youtao reluctantly grabbed a handful of melon seeds and gave them to him: "Big brother, do you want some melon seeds?" ♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤ One-sentence summary: There are too many melons, and the melon-eating crowd is very busy.

African literature referred to the literary works of the African continent, including novels, poems, essays, plays, movies, music, and many other artistic forms. The origins of African literature can be traced back to ancient times, but the development of modern African literature began in the 20th century. One of the characteristics of African literature was its variety. The literature of different African countries has different cultural backgrounds, historical traditions, and language characteristics, so their literary works also have unique styles and topics. For example, Kenyan Ben Akkad's Lady Leopard depicted the life experiences of an African woman, reflecting the difficulties and challenges of the local society. Another characteristic of African literature was realism. Many African literary works depicted the true face of African society and revealed the problems and contradictions that existed within it. For example,"Escape from Kenya" in Kenyan told the true experience of a Kenyan traveler, reflecting the natural environment and social problems of the African continent. African literature had an important influence on a global scale. Many African literary works have been translated into many languages and spread around the world, making an important contribution to African culture and social development.

The Pulitzer Prize for Literature was one of the most famous literary awards in the United States. It was awarded once a year, but not every year there was a winning novel. I can recommend the following Pulitzer Prize-winning novels: 1. " The Old Man and the Sea ": This is a classic work by Ernest Hemmingway. It tells the story of an old fisherman fighting with a huge marlin. The novel is considered one of Ernest's most outstanding works. 2. The Age of Innocence: This is a work by Philip Roth. It is based on the story of a young Jewry's growth and reveals the racial and religious issues in American society. 3. " The Good Earth ": This novel is by Jon Starbeck. The theme is farmers during the Great Depression-era, showing their hard lives and their love for the land. 4. Gone with the Wind was a work by Margaret Mitchell. It was set in the Civil War and told the story of a strong woman, Scarlet Ohara. 5. Night Watchmen: This is Louise Erdrich's latest novel, which won the 2021 Pulitzer Prize for fiction. The story was inspired by her grandfather's experience and depicted the story of an Indian reservation community. It should be noted that the Pulitzer Prize for Literature produced new award-winning works every year, so these recommended works did not represent all the award-winning works.
