Back to the 80s: Selling the 'Iron Rice Bowl' to Marry You

share time: 2025-12-22 06:06:29

Modern worker Lin Chuan accidentally travels back to 1985 and becomes a technician at a state-owned machinery factory with the enviable "iron rice bowl" (a stable, lifelong job). He immediately recognizes Su Xiaomei—the girl he lost in his previous life because he was too scared to give up his stable job. This time, he’s made up his mind: selling the factory-allocated Forever bicycle to raise funds, even quitting his job to go into business, just to save enough for Xiaomei’s betrothal gift. But when the factory director slams the table and calls him "crazy," and Xiaomei tugs his sleeve with red eyes: "How will we live without a job?" Lin Chuan pulls out a crumpled business plan from his cotton jacket and smiles, patting her head: "What I fear isn’t poverty—it’s watching you marry someone else again." But just one day before they’re supposed to meet her parents, Xiaomei’s mother shows up with an official ID: "My daughter is marrying someone with an 'iron rice bowl'."
