He died suddenly at work due to overtime. Fortunately, he was given another chance to start over. Although he was transported to the Love Courtyard and the times he lived in were not the best, it was already good enough for him.

He cherished this chance to start over and worked hard to live a good life, whether it was Love Courtyard or Bird Courtyard.

Even more fortunately, he had his own golden finger, which allowed him to live a good life even in this era of lack of food and clothing.

When he opened his eyes, Xie Zhao had returned to the year 1983.

That was the year when the wealthiest family in Hudong County, the Chens, found their real son, and he—the imposter—was driven back to Shishui Village.

He couldn’t believe that the parents who had once cherished him like a precious jewel no longer wanted him. Could it be that the eighteen years of affection had all been a lie?

He went to their door to ask, but they only cried and cursed, calling him a jinx who had brought disaster on their real son, making him suffer and endure hardships—branding him a black-hearted bastard.

From then on, he fell into utter despair.

His biological parents, feeling guilty for the way things had turned out, arranged for him to marry an exceptionally good wife—

a girl with long, straight black hair in neat braids, a pretty, pure melon-seed face, and bright, lively eyes that seemed to speak.

But deep down, he didn’t like her. He felt it was all a scheme concocted by her and his biological parents, meant to trap him here for life.

Later, that year at the end of winter, he still couldn’t let go. He went again to visit his adoptive parents, only to be beaten and thrown out once more—exactly as he had expected.

As usual, he drowned his sorrows in alcohol until he was completely drunk and unconscious.

But on this particular morning, when he opened his eyes, everything had been turned upside down.

His wife lay quietly in bed, her face ashen.

Two little children, their bodies covered in blood, lay silently in a wooden tub beside the bed. They had long since closed their eyes, no longer breathing. They were a pair of adorable little girls.

From that day on, he lived in hell for the next thirty years, each day worse than death.

When he opened his eyes again, he was back on that fateful day.

Xie Zhao made up his mind:

Even if he had to go bankrupt, he would find a way to raise money and send his wife to the hospital!

He would treat her well for the rest of her life!

And he would give both his wife and his biological parents the best life possible!

Chen Yan traveled to a rural area in southwest China in 1983.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw two hungry children, a girl who was almost three years old and a boy who was one year old.

They were his original body's, and now they are naturally Chen Yan's.

His original body and his wife went into the mountains to collect herbs, and encountered a mountain torrent.

His wife died on the spot, and his original body was possessed by Chen Yan's soul.

As a novice dad, Chen Yan was in a hurry, making rice porridge and changing diapers, and he was so depressed that he doubted his life.

Others traveled through time to enjoy happiness, but did he travel through time to suffer?

Finally one day, Chen Yan, who was overwhelmed by the children, suddenly found that there was a gentle and beautiful girl in the house.

It was his wife's sister, 17-year-old Xu Qingning.

She was in the third year of high school in the county town, and she came to help her brother-in-law take care of the children.

One-sentence synopsis: I traveled to 80 years old, and after being targeted by cannon fodder to read my mind, I found my godmother all over the country!

——

Xu Jinning, who was pushed down the stairs by her step-sister, was transported into the complicated world of several books of the era with unhealthy views. The cannon fodder who had originally suffered a tragic fate could actually hear her voice!

Entering the police station [Uncle Long March was so miserable. He died trying to catch human traffickers, and his wife was so sad that the twins in her belly aborted! ] Turning around, Zhang Changzheng was promoted for his bravery in arresting human traffickers, and he wanted to recognize Xu Jinning as his goddaughter!

Entering the meat factory [Uncle Huang, there is swine fever this year, so you cannot raise pigs, otherwise you will lose money and your family will be destroyed! ] Turning around, the director of the meat factory switched to raising chickens, ducks and geese, making a lot of money, and he also wanted to accept Xu Jinning, a lucky star, as his goddaughter!

Save the little fool in the village [Xu Yu is just autistic. He can go to Beijing Hospital for treatment. There are opportunities for him there. He is not a fool, he is a genius! ] Many years later, Xu Jinning, who had already become Xu Yuqian’s sister, watched Xu Yu become a scientist!

…

By the time Xu Jinning discovered that her voice could be read by cannon fodder, she already had many relatives all over the country and had connections wherever she went. Unknowingly, she had won!

Time travel, but I just want to live like a salted fish.

There are warm and kind families here, there are slim little flowers, and there are charming white lotuses.

There are natural beauties who are numb to life, and there are petite neighbors who have to work in the fields every day.

And I just want to guard my warm family and quietly be a charterer like a salted fish.

But some things cannot be avoided, and some people cannot be stopped either.
