[1970s food, rugged man devoted to his wife, secret identity of a big shot]
Reborn as a minor cannon-fodder military wife who gets only a passing mention, Wen Wanqing accepts her bargain husband in a daze, follows him to his army posting, and wins everyone in the compound over with her excellent cooking.
After Lu Yanqiu is discharged from the army, Wen Wanqing follows him back to the countryside to raise pigs. Somehow, word gets around that Lu Yanqiu received several thousand yuan in discharge pay, and young women from all the nearby villages come to snatch him up.
Wen Wanqing sheds her former gentle demeanor. If the child misbehaves, she gives him a smack. If her sister-in-law spreads rumors about her, she fights back. If her mother-in-law meddles, she gives her an earful. Before long, everyone knows that the Lu household has a tigress who is not to be crossed.
A malicious aunt looks at the miniature version of Lu Jing and asks him, “Who’s stronger, your dad or your mom?”
Without hesitation, Lu Jing replies, “They’re both strong!”
Not content to leave it at that, the onlookers keep stirring things up. “No, your dad drives a big truck and makes money, so he’s the strong one. Your mom’s not strong at all.”
Though little, Lu Jing is wise beyond his years. “Dad’s big truck is just as powerful as Mom’s pot lid. They’re both weapons for conquering the world.”
Wen Wanqing pats Lu Jing on the head. You little rascal, you sure know how to clap back. You’re much better at it than your dad.
At that moment, Lu Yanqiu is driving his truck out of the province to deliver goods under the blazing summer sun when he sneezes.
A sturdy, simple-minded veteran who can take a beating, a scolding, and hard work VS a sweet, capable wife who plays the pig to eat the tiger
