Reborn in the 80s: I'll Give My Pregnant Wife a Good Life

share time: 2026-02-20 06:07:44

Lin Qiang wakes up in a run-down brick house in 1980, face to face with his wife Zhou Xiulan—three months pregnant, squatting by the stove mending old clothes. The memory of her dying in childbirth, too malnourished to even taste a warm egg because he was poor, still pierces his heart. This life, he’s determined: he climbs mountains at dawn to buy chili peppers for homemade sauce, sells them outside factories until his throat burns; when gangsters block him while collecting scrap, he clutches the fruit candy saved for Xiulan and stands firm; he even swallows his pride to ask his former “arch-enemy” for business tips… But Xiulan always touches the calluses on his hands and asks: “Qiangzi, why do you seem like you’re in a hurry to finish a lifetime of work?” When the first earnings buy a new quilt to wrap around Xiulan’s shivering body, when he presses the cod liver oil he saved for a month into her palm, Lin Qiang finally dares to say through red eyes: “I’m afraid of being late, afraid of making you wait again…” Will the cries from the delivery room that snowy night in his past life become the first cry of their child in this life?
