Lin Wanqiu, the founder of a modern restaurant chain, traveled to the southern water town in 1983 after an accident and became the new daughter-in-law who just married veteran Chen Jianjun. She also took over three "little baggage" who were wary of her - 11-year-old eldest son Chen Xiangyang, 9-year-old second girl Chen Zhaodi, and 7-year-old son Chen Xingchen. Faced with the poor life of a poor family, the pickiness of her mother-in-law, the gossip of the neighbors, and the bad reputation left by the original owner as a "lazy person", Lin Wanqiu rolled up her sleeves and launched a counterattack: activating the space of the ancestral jade Perry with her left hand, and taking out the rice, flour, grains and oils to improve the pot. Food, using modern nutrition knowledge to raise a baby as thin as a bean sprout to be fat and strong; seizing the opportunity of reform and opening up with his right hand, starting from setting up a stall selling special sugar water, then opening a snack shop and setting up a food processing factory, step by step to gain a firm foothold in the wave of the times. In the process, she used her sincerity to melt her children's defenses, turning her "stepmother" into a "real mother"; and her husband Chen Jianjun, who was cold on the outside and hot on the inside, silently protecting his wife, went from respecting each other like "ice" to knowing each other and staying together. In the end, she led the whole family to live a good life with plenty of meat and meat, which was envied by everyone, and became the most dazzling "career mom" in the water town in the 1980s.
