1986, the countryside of the Central Plains.
After fifty years away from home, Zhao Qiang returns to this era.
In his previous life, he was the only university graduate the village had ever produced. Pursuing his own future, he wandered alone far from home for his entire life.
Now, with Xiaoyun by his side, he can claim land and secure development funds.
Starting with a plot of land, he will clear new fields, build workshops, establish schools, and protect local industries.
In this life, he resolves to live up to the honor of being a university graduate and stop thinking only of himself.
He cannot bear to watch his fellow villagers leave home and struggle far away again. He will lead them in putting down roots, clearing land, building businesses, and finding a way to make a living right here in their hometown, so they can all prosper together.
So that we can leave home to get an education at an advanced university, come back to a meal waiting for us, enjoy our children and grandchildren at our knees after dinner, and have someone to care for our parents in their old age.
