The Seventies Fishing Village: A Little Darling Plays Matchmaker, and Dad Marries a Sweetheart

The three-year-old toddler is reborn, and the first thing she does is refuse to eat.

"Daddy, go to Wuyuzhen and save Mommy. She's going to get bullied today."

Naval Regiment Commander Lu Chaoshen can't handle his daughter's fussing, so he drives there.

In an alley, a fisherman's daughter is being berated by her widowed mother. The little girl rushes over and hugs her leg. "Mommy!"

Li Zhi'an is stunned.

She's eighteen and has just had her engagement broken off. Where did this daughter come from?

The stern-faced commander walks over and picks up her fish basket. "Let's go. I'll settle the score for you."

To stay, Li Zhi'an makes a deal with him: they'll live together, sleep in separate rooms, and part ways once Tuantuan is grown. Lu Chaoshen agrees.

But as time passes, everything changes...

When her legs ache, he gets up in the middle of the night to fill a hot-water bottle, warming it before tucking it into her bed. When she sells fish balls, he secretly asks around to see if anyone is giving her trouble at her stall, then comes home insisting he was "just passing by." When she washes dishes in a floral apron that's a little too short, his ears turn red as he asks, "I'll buy you a new one tomorrow. What color do you like?"

When she burns her hand cooking, he silently runs it under cold water and, after a long pause, manages to say, "I'll take care of the stove from now on."

Tuantuan whispers in her ear, "Mommy, Daddy's sneaking glances at you again. He watches you eat and wash dishes, and he even tucks you in at night!"

Later, she asks him, "When did you start thinking of me as your wife?"

Lu Chaoshen says nothing. He puts the freshly washed bowl on the rack, his ears turning red once more.
