Reborn in the 70s: Leading My Wife to a Happy Life

Reborn in the 70s: Leading My Wife to a Happy Life Plot:

Lin Hao, a modern corporate slave, dies suddenly and is reborn in 1978. In his previous life, he neglected his wife Su Xiaomei for his career, watching her suffer through hardships and die with grievances. This time, he’s determined to rewrite their story: he abandons his “intellectual pride” to sell handwoven bamboo products at the county fair, using modern “hunger marketing” to turn shabby bamboo baskets into hot items; he plants two acres of rice for Su Xiaomei before dawn and secretly saves money to buy the red silk hair rope she’d stared at in the supply and marketing cooperative’s window for half a year. When neighbors gossip about him being “unproductive,” he slaps 20 yuan—his earnings—on the courtyard: “My wife deserves a life others envy.” Su Xiaomei goes from wondering, “Is this still the Lin Hao who couldn’t even wash socks?” to tearing up and grabbing his sleeve: “You make me feel like I’m marrying you all over again.” When they build the first brick house with glass windows in the village and hold their one-month-old daughter on the threshold, Lin Hao touches the red silk in Su Xiaomei’s hair—realizes that the “happiness” he lost in his previous life is just cherishing every little thing about her.
