In the freezing winter of the 1970s, widowed old Lin Guizhi is so poor her family can barely afford to eat.
Her granddaughter is so hungry she chews tree bark, her eldest daughter-in-law is unconscious with a high fever, and her second son has been falsely accused of stealing grain.
With nowhere else to turn, Lin Guizhi goes to draw water from the dry well in the backyard. But a baby’s cry comes from the bottom: “Help! This milk is poisoned!”
She misses her footing and tumbles straight into the nursery of a wealthy family in the capital fifty years in the future!
She accidentally binds to the “Max-Level Baby Talk System,” which lets her understand the cries and babbling of children under three.
The wealthy family’s young master cries all night, driving the whole family to despair. Lin Guizhi listens and says, “Stop rocking him! I’m allergic to imported formula!”
With a few deft adjustments, the little master sleeps through the night, and the lady of the house immediately hands her a thick wad of cash.
From then on, Lin Guizhi leads a double life: by day, she looks after children for wealthy families in the future and earns money; by night, she returns to the 1970s to keep her family fed.
Short on food or medicine? She trades her future nanny wages for ration coupons, fever medicine, and bright floral fabric!
Bullies giving her trouble? Now that Old Lady Lin is well fed, she’s a force to be reckoned with, beating the local tyrant until he’s crawling all over the ground!
The future’s wealthy circles are in an uproar too, with influential bigwigs waving their checks and fighting to hire this “miracle nanny.”
A wealthy CEO says, “Auntie Lin, if you’ll look after my baby, you can pick whichever mansion or luxury car you want!”
Lin Guizhi waves him off. “No can do. The village chicken farm and tofu workshop are waiting for me to come back and run a meeting!”
