In 2026, after 46-year-old Zhou Xiangdong saw his father off, he found a yellowed layoff card and an IOU that had never been cashed among the belongings.
Twenty-eight years ago, my father lent all the compensation money for being laid off to his younger brother. Since then, the family has been in decline and he has become ill from overwork.
When he opened his eyes again, Zhou Xiangdong returned to 1998.
The second uncle was pressing his father's hand, urging him to sign the IOU.
This time, Zhou Xiangdong snatched the pen in public.
There is no system and no windfall. He and his father started by repairing a used color TV, setting up stalls, opening shops, and building factories, and gradually earned back everything they lost in the tide of the times.
In his last life, he just kept his head down and rushed, missing his parents and himself.
In this life, he wants money and a family; he wants to get ahead, and he also wants a neat family.
Reader comments
There are a lot of words and chapters that repeatedly describe how the protagonist's father was cheated by his uncle. It's obvious that the author is very keen on writing this [smile]
