In the winter of 1988, Lin Feng wakes up in a dilapidated woodshed in Tuanjie Village after a car accident, returning to the very day his wife and daughter are still alive. In his previous life, he gambled away the family's entire savings. Before he could turn his life around, his wife and daughter died one after another, leaving him to grow old alone. This time, he starts by repairing the roof, chopping firewood, and catching fish, exchanging eight crucian carp for six yuan and eighty-five cents. He then turns overlooked crayfish from a drainage ditch into a thriving business, selling ten thousand jin in just three days and raising the medical expenses for his sick mother-in-law. Trust does not return with his rebirth, so he uses one payment of cash after another and one hot meal after another to bring his broken family back together.
