The most popular second generation is the eldest son of the pork shop. The shortcut to changing your destiny is gone!! However, she finally turned around with Father Jiang's unique vision! ... Male protagonist's perspective: When Shen Shiwei was a teenager, his family was sent to Wangzhuang because his father had a background in studying abroad. The captain of the brigade was very discerning and took a fancy to their family's ability to research grain seeds. He opened the back door and made their family no different from ordinary commune members. So he immediately adjusted his plan, and the whole family farmed in the countryside honestly, away from the turmoil of the capital. After enduring it for many years, things were about to see the light of day. Unexpectedly, a peach-picking and thigh-grabbing man suddenly appeared. Shen Shiwei looked shocked and looked down at the clothes with at least a dozen patches on his body: "Excuse me, what do you see in me?" Jiang Wangshu was shocked. What should he do if his father saw the potential of a poor man? Father Jiang: If you endure this moment, you will be prosperous and wealthy for the rest of your life.
