share time: 2026-07-10 08:24:33

In a small town of Northeast China in 1980, honest agricultural machinery clerk Wang Jianguo clings to the "iron rice bowl" for stability, while his shrewd wife Xiulian spots a profit opportunity of exchanging mountain goods for fine grains and insists on taking the risk. Fearful of policy risks and offending leaders, Wang firmly objects, sparking their first "family conflict". Jealous neighbor Aunt Zhang secretly sabotages, cutting off Xiulian's supply and pushing her business to collapse. In crisis, Wang drops his concerns, teams up with Xiulian to source goods across villages, and with Northeast Chinese tenacity, they unlock sales, earn their first pot of gold, deepen their bond through joint efforts, and build a vibrant life.
