[Period] [1965] [Transmigration] [No CP] [Ensemble Cast of Adorable Kids] [Everyday Family Life]
Xu Manyue woke up to find herself as Ruan Xiaoman, a seven-year-old girl living in a railway workers' residential compound in 1965.
She had no pocket dimension and no ability to foresee the future. All she had were two little hands that could see the troubles adults faced but could not do much to help yet.
Her mother remarried with three children in tow, while her stepfather already had two kids of his own. Before they had even settled into their new home, one problem after another came knocking: her mother's temporary job transfer, her younger brother's place in preschool, her stepbrother getting bullied, and the summer storms about to hit the compound.
At first, Ruan Xiaoman only wanted to protect her share of the food and her little wooden box. But she soon realized that every child in this household was waiting for someone willing to step forward.
So Xiaoman and several adorable kids with wildly different personalities began with squabbling over a piece of sesame candy and hiding an injured sparrow, and slowly learned to share, take responsibility, and care for one another.
There are no cheat powers that let anyone mow down all opposition, and no miracle that makes them rich overnight.
There is only a group of children who, in an era of scarcity, use their small courage to turn an unfamiliar blended family into a real one.
