“My dad transmigrated with a pocket dimension, and my mom cried as she sold him off. My name is Han Jinnian, and I’m here to watch the show.”
My dad is a transmigrator.
A criminal investigator from 2024, he transmigrated into the body of the fourth young master of the Zhou family in Shanghai in 1949. All he had were three of his grandfather’s keepsakes, an empty pocket dimension, and a mind sharper than anyone else’s.
The first thing he did was persuade the whole family to split up. The last thing he did was disguise himself as a vagrant, head north, and marry into a butcher’s family in the Beijing suburbs.
My mom, Han Daying, is the butcher’s daughter. She’s five foot seven, speaks softly, and tears up at the drop of a hat. She looks just like Lin Daiyu. Everyone in the courtyard thinks she’s easy to bully.
Only my dad knows that whenever this woman cries, she’s already sold her opponent three times over, and they’re still helping her count the money.
My name is Han Jinnian, the most precious only child of this era. My dad says I was picked up off the street, but whenever someone bullies me, he’s the first to rush to my defense. I have three uncles who are all over six foot two, and each of them puts three pieces of meat in my bowl every day. It’s impossible not to get fat.
Our family lives in a three-courtyard siheyuan, with treasure hidden beneath it and a bunch of oddball neighbors living inside. It’s chaos from morning till night. Outside the courtyard, a group of enemy agents are also after the treasure.
My dad handles the cutting remarks, my mom handles the crying, and I watch it all, then tell you about it.
The whole family joins forces to catch enemy agents, dig up treasure, deal with troublemaking neighbors, and roast sunflower seeds~
