Forty-year-old Chen Mo has been struggling in the city for half his life. After an accident, he woke up with piercing hunger and found that he was reborn in 1982 and became an eight-year-old child named Chen Xiaoman.
In front of us is a terrible drought that has never happened in a century. The cracked earth, the bottomed rice vat, and the family quarrel over a bowl of gruel all point to despair. The regrets of his past life are intertwined with the sufferings of this life. Chen Mo is determined to use his adult mind and vague memories of the future to protect this broken home in his past life.
However, no one can believe a child's words. His grandmother and sister-in-law regarded him as a burden and wanted to separate the family; only the attentive second sister and the calm grandfather saw a faint light of wisdom from the wild vegetables he "accidentally" discovered and the traps he "unintentionally" invented. Under Grandpa's decision, Chen Xiaoman became the invisible commander of the family's survival team.
He guided his family to dig out life-saving water sources, used modern knowledge to resist the plague, and even relied on his past life memories in a desperate situation to find the secret of an abandoned war preparation depot. Food brings hope, but also leads to suspicion and the test of human nature. In this process, the ice gradually melted, and even the meanest grandma shed tears of repentance.
When the government's disaster relief team finally arrived, the Chen family, under the leadership of Chen Xiaoman, had sown a vibrant future. He finally let go of his obsession with his previous life and truly accepted the life of "Chen Xiaoman". This time, he not only saved the lives of his family, but also restored the precious family relationship.
