share time: 2026-04-28 06:01:04

Set in a remote northwest village in 1960s China, modern girl Su Xiao transmigrates into the body of a young widowed mother with a premature baby. Having been abused and starved by her in-laws before, Su Xiao uses modern cooking and farming skills to turn her life around: she reclaims wasteland to grow vegetables, pickles them to exchange for food stamps, and raises her weak baby into a chubby, adorable child. As their life improves—their cottage smells of meat, and the baby’s patched clothes look neat and bright—the whole village shifts from sympathy to bitter envy. Some steal her vegetables, spread rumors, even try to seize benefits by arranging her marriage. Su Xiao protects her baby and fights back with her wits, turning the envious chaos into a satisfying road to prosperity.
