Protagonist:

Jiang Wenyu

Chen Lan couldn't believe what she was hearing.

All along, Jiang Wenyu did nothing but drink and gamble, and lay hands on the two of them, mother and daughter; he would never act like he is doing now.

What has gotten into him?

Chen Lan looked at Jiang Wenyu, tears falling uncontrollably; although Jiang Wenyu's words moved her, his behavior all these years simply made it impossible for her to believe those words were true.

In the end, without looking back, she carried Nuan Nuan into the room.

She dared not harbor any hope for Jiang Wenyu.

Looking at the dejected Chen Lan, Jiang Wenyu smiled bitterly in his heart, but his resolve was firm; since he had taken possession of this body, he had to be determined to change all of this.

In the eighties, reform and opening up meant business opportunities everywhere; seizing any one of them could make you soar.

What's more, he possessed thirty years of future knowledge and experience; reliving this life, he would surely create a life even more glorious than his previous one.

……

Late at night, Jiang Wenyu found a screwdriver and a pair of wire cutters, and came before the family's dilapidated black-and-white TV set.

"Let's see what exactly is broken."

Jiang Wenyu skillfully disassembled the TV set, then carefully inspected every component; in his previous life he had studied electrical engineering for a master's at Jiang Hai University of Science and Technology, and after graduation had continuously worked in related fields; as a senior technician, this bit of trouble was child's play for him.

He did not notice that behind him the bedroom door had opened a crack; Chen Lan watched the busy back in the main hall, her eyes revealing surprise and disbelief.

With the TV set taken apart, Jiang Wenyu quickly discovered the problem inside.

"So it's a few burnt-out circuits; looks like when it was bought it wasn't new at all, but a broken TV set that had been refurbished — truly a Yaoshang."

Jiang Wenyu shook his head.

After he reconnected the wires, he reassembled the TV set, then connected the antenna and power; he glanced at the time — at this hour no programs were broadcasting yet, so he would have to wait until tomorrow morning to verify whether it was truly fixed.

Early the next morning, after Chen Lan woke up and found no sign of Jiang Wenyu beside her, she put on her clothes and walked out of the bedroom, only to discover the other party was actually busy in the kitchen.

Chen Lan felt astonished; ever since marrying Jiang Wenyu, he had never set foot in the kitchen once, yet today he actually knew to make breakfast for his wife and daughter — completely different from the him of before.

Jiang Wenyu noticed Chen Lan standing dazed at the kitchen door and said with a smile: "Awake? Go wait a bit; breakfast will be ready in a moment."

Chen Lan nodded, went back to the room to wake Jiang Nuannuan,

Before long, a simple breakfast appeared on the table.

Jiang Nuannuan asked curiously: "How come today's breakfast is a bit different?"

Jiang Wenyu said with a smile: "Because I made it."

"Wow, so Dad can actually cook!" Jiang Nuannuan exclaimed in surprise.

Jiang Wenyu asked with a smile: "Is it good?"

Jiang Nuannuan nodded, giving an "Mm."

Jiang Wenyu stroked her head and said with a smile: "Then how about Dad makes breakfast from now on?"

Jiang Nuannuan glanced at Chen Lan, not speaking.

Chen Lan nodded at her; only then did Jiang Nuannuan smile and agree.

After eating breakfast, Jiang Wenyu turned on the TV to test it; watching the jumping picture on the screen, he laughed out loud — sure enough, it was fixed!

He moved the TV set onto the flatbed cart in the courtyard, then returned to the room and said to Chen Lan: "I fixed the TV."

"You really fixed it?" Chen Lan was deeply surprised to hear this.
