In 1983, Qinggang Village, Chen Erniu was the most scorned "deadbeat"—loafing against walls, living on neighbors' charity, even his childhood sweetheart Xiaomei was forced by her parents to marry a "10,000-yuan household" from the next village. Until he found his late grandfather's veteran ID and a business notebook, revealing that his grandpa had already cracked the profitable business of "handmade bamboo weaving" in the county when he ran supply chains years ago. Determined to prove himself and win Xiaomei back, Erniu dragged the village's idle men to make bamboo baskets and head to the county. But right after arriving, they were harassed by thugs for protection money, and their bamboo products were ignored for being "too rustic". Can he shake off the "deadbeat" stigma, lead the whole village to prosperity, and keep his beloved?
