Chef Lin Comes to Kindergarten: The 1970S

What’s it like to transmigrate on the day your stepmother moves in...? And then accidentally ruin the wedding. After that, she finds herself in a rather complicated blended family. Lin Xiao takes over her late mother’s job and becomes a cook at a government-run kindergarten. Two wood-fired stoves and a mountain of cabbages and potatoes are the “battlefield” where she will work from now on. In this kitchen, barely fifteen square meters, Lin Xiao uses her deft hands to simmer sweetness and aroma into an otherwise bland life. Han Yu’s brother and sister-in-law both die in an accident. Their son, Han Bei, witnesses his parents’ deaths and becomes withdrawn and taciturn. The whole Han family is at a loss about what to do. That is, until Han Bei follows Han Yu’s job transfer to the Red Sun Kindergarten near their home. The child comes home chattering to his elders about how nice the kindergarten is, especially the delicious, beautiful rabbit-shaped steamed buns. Curious, Han Yu makes a special trip to the kindergarten to ask about its famous cook. To his surprise, she is a pretty young woman who looks like she stepped out of a magazine. At the time, the kindergarten principal is doing her best to set Lin Xiao up with someone. Han Yu thinks: the principal said that guy was short and ugly. How could he possibly be good enough for such a pretty, capable woman? Who could be good enough for her...? Obviously, him! Reader’s guide: 1.
