[1980s + adorable child adored by everyone + fierce little cutie + raising a child + cozy daily life + getting rich + family and neighborhood drama + factory compound]
Three-and-a-half-year-old Lin Doubao gets lost. All she remembers is that there are two tall poplar trees in front of her home and a bad man with a red scar on his wrist.
Zhou Weiguo, the poorest temporary worker in the compound, uses his last half-month's worth of meal tickets to bring her home. Everyone laughs at him: he can barely feed himself, so how is he going to raise a little burden? They'll both starve sooner or later.
But who could have guessed that this little girl is an incredibly thrifty “housekeeping manager” who treasures everything? Sitting by a heap of scrap, she sorts parts with fierce determination, catches the crooks trying to cheat the system, and helps Uncle Zhou win a permanent position step by step.
Just as their lives start getting better and better, an old, yellowed meal ticket falls out of the toolbox. It has her maternal uncle's transport team number written on it!
Who is the bad man with the red scar? Why are the missing-child notices sent by her biological parents always secretly torn down at the factory gate? Can Doubao help Uncle Zhou secure his place for good, and can she find the home with the tall poplar trees?
