share time: 2025-12-20 06:05:23

Lin Xiaoman, a "workplace overachiever" at an internet company, hates that her dad Lin Jianguo always preaches "fish-selling experience"—until her swollen-eyed effort for a community fresh food project loses to her dad's secretly submitted "fish stall proposal." When she squats downstairs cursing, "Even my dad beat me," Dad shows up with her favorite sugar-fried chestnuts: "Silly girl, I've sold fish for twenty years. I know what Aunt Zhang wants for 'live fish' isn't an app icon, but the ones I picked at the dock at 4 AM and the air holes I pricked in the bags. What's there to be ashamed of losing to your dad? I'm your real dad—beating you is supposed to happen!" It turns out the "rustic" life wisdom she despised is the most touching "user thinking," and the day she lost to her dad, she finally understood: the most precious "win" is seeing the love her dad hid in the fish scales.
