I Saved My Family in the 1960s by Traveling to the Modern World

In the rural northern Jiangsu of 1962, Lin Jianguo's family was falling apart—his father was beaten black and blue for 'speculation', his younger siblings were so hungry they gnawed on tree bark, and his mother was paraded through the streets for secretly selling her hair for bran balls. Desperate to sell his blood for food, he suddenly traveled to a 2023 construction site at midnight! It turned out he could travel between the two worlds, but only for 4 hours each time. To save his family, Lin Jianguo spent his days in the 1960s hiding his time-travel traces, and his nights in the modern world moving bricks, delivering takeout, and doing ride-hailing, exchanging his earnings for food coupons, medicine, and even hybrid rice seeds to take back. But his father's criticism suddenly escalated—he was going to be taken to the county for a public parade, and the time-travel duration started to go haywire—sometimes only 2 hours, sometimes not working at all. Can he clear his father's 'speculation' charge with an 'old invoice' from the modern world before his father is taken away? Will the time rift between the two eras make all his efforts in vain?
