After a 5-Year-Old Orphan Called Him "Dad", the Poor Guy's Life Took Off

After a 5-Year-Old Orphan Called Him "Dad", the Poor Guy's Life Took Off Plot:

Lin Xiaoman, the poorest man in the village, was 30 and still lived in a leaky adobe house—even the widow next door thought he was too poor. On market day, he clutched five yuan from selling eggs to buy brown sugar for his sick mother, only to be tackled by 5-year-old Tangtang, an orphan no one wanted, who was huddled in a corner. Tangtang's face was red from the cold as she screamed "Dad" at him, and the crowd laughed: "You can't even feed yourself, let alone a kid." Lin Xiaoman gritted his teeth, traded the brown sugar for two steamed buns—one for Tangtang, one for his mom. From then on, the adobe house had a little figure with pigtails: Tangtang stood on a stool to cook, sewed his torn pants into patches with teddy bears, and even snuck to the back mountain to pick wild honey, teaching him to make "Xiaoman Honey" to sell in town. Unexpectedly, this honey caught the eye of a city food merchant—and even more surprising, Tangtang's missing grandfather was that merchant's boss! After Tangtang's parents died, her grandfather had been searching for her, but Tangtang only recognized Lin Xiaoman as "Dad". When the grandfather saw Tangtang go from silent to bouncing around yelling "Dad, dinner's ready," he cried and held Lin Xiaoman's hand: "You gave Tangtang a second life." Lin Xiaoman's life, once a laughingstock, became the envy of the village—he owned a honey factory and even found love. Turns out, the most precious counterattack isn't luck, but a child's unreserved trust and a man's all-out tenderness.
