Chen Mancang unexpectedly returns to 1987, just as the Chen family is dividing its household. Giving up the house and paddy fields, he actively chooses the unpromising barren slope behind the mountain, wanting only to make up for the regrets of his past life and protect his wife and daughter. Starting from gathering mountain goods and going to the market to sell merchandise, he gradually achieves processing, opens stores, and gets rich through honest management. After his life improves, he always puts his family before making money, and also resolves his conflicts with his brothers with rules and a sense of responsibility. Years later, the barren slope is full of fruit trees, his daughter is admitted to the county school, and the family finally lives a stable life. Chen Mancang understands that in living a second life, the most precious things are not money and face, but familial affection and companionship.
