share time: 2026-03-02 12:32:00

Modern corporate slave Su Xiaoyun died from overworking while staying up late to finish a project. When she woke up, she transmigrated into Zhou Guifen—a “useless old lady” in the 1970s, despised by her in-laws and mocked by neighbors. Looking at the shabby hut, cold stove, and the hard steamed bun in her hand, she slammed the table and vowed: “Since I’m reborn, I’ll be the neighborhood’s favorite!” Using her modern “workaholic” mindset, she fought for a spot as a factory canteen helper. Her tomato-egg rice and braised pork with potatoes turned the state-owned canteen into the “area’s top spot,” even drawing the factory director to line up. She stood up to her meddling sister-in-law, helped neighbors resolve婆媳 conflicts, and became the “wise guru” of the courtyard. To her surprise, Old Zhou—a widowed retired teacher next door—kept secretly giving her pickled vegetables and helped her draft canteen improvement plans—turns out, the tough guy had a soft heart! When the “counterattacking old lady” meets the “introverted old scholar,” in the 1970s’ warm烟火 (smoke and fire), she’s determined to hold her “iron rice bowl” tight… and stew her love until it’s warm and sweet!
