Shen Anqiao had had enough. In Shanghai in 2026, the mortgage loan, car loan, and children's training classes were so overwhelming that she didn't even have time to breathe. Her biggest hobby is to hide under the quilt and read periodicals, imagining the 1980s when there was no involution and no need to fight for school district housing.
When she woke up, she really slipped into her favorite period novel.
But the moment she opened her eyes, she was dumbfounded - she was not the only one who had traveled through time. The whole family of six, including husband, son, father-in-law, mother-in-law, and sister-in-law, even came with the family of my son's fat classmate.
What's even more outrageous is that the person living next door to their house is none other than the modern upstart wife Su Qing who shows off Hermès to her every day.
In the rural areas of southern Anhui in the 1980s, there were nothing but adobe houses, dry toilets, and kerosene lamps. But there is one thing that modern times cannot give her - hope.
The whole family joined the battle, the father-in-law returned to his old job as a carpenter, the mother-in-law's cooking skills became outstanding in the village, and the programmer husband changed into a different person. And she led the whole village to open up wasteland, grow melon seeds, sell roasted seeds and nuts, and suddenly lived a life of poverty to become the richest man in the village.
When the family stood at the crossroads of whether to return to modern times, the eight-year-old son said something that silenced everyone: Mom, I will be promoted to junior high school in 2026, and I don't want to go back.
