Chapter 1: The Mysterious Shop "I've transmigrated?" Zhou Yimin looked utterly confused as he glanced around at the home filled with the atmosphere of a bygone era. He had never expected that working overtime would somehow lead to him silently crossing over into this new time period. As it turned out, overtime was never a good thing.

- Chapter 2: Returning Home to Visit Grandpa and Grandma Zhou Yimin rode his bicycle out and stopped in front of a shop selling steamed buns. The bicycle was something his stingy old dad had left behind, so he really couldn't blame Old Zhou for anything. In Zhou Yimin’s situation, even if he just lay flat and did nothing, he wouldn’t have to worry. He ordered ten buns and a bowl of soy milk. There was no way he could finish all ten buns—back in these days, buns were quite substantial. But…

- Chapter 3: I’ll Remember for Eight Lifetimes Zhou Yimin first took out the remaining peanuts from the shopping basket. "Grandpa, these peanuts are for you to enjoy with your drinks."

- Chapter 5: The Village Head’s Request The dumplings were ready and placed on the table. Grandma had also stir-fried a small plate of peanuts for the old man to enjoy with his drink. Grandpa brought out his treasured bottle of sweet potato liquor. "Yimin, want a drink?" Zhou Yimin nodded. "Sure, I'll have a couple of cups with you, Grandpa, but not too much.

- Chapter 6: The Misunderstanding Resolved Zhoujiazhuang was a village where almost everyone had the surname Zhou. As the saying goes, "even if bones are broken, the tendons are still connected"—most families were related in some way or another. For instance, Zhou Yimin and the family of the old village secretary were technically related, though distantly. They were beyond the five degrees of mourning relations, meaning they weren't closely related. In traditional Chinese kinship, five degrees of…

- Chapter 8: Section Chief Wang's Surprise "Hmm? Is this jerky?" Very soon, Wang Weimin discovered that the bottom of the procurement basket contained dried meat. Zhou Yimin smiled and explained, "I ran into a fellow townsman. His relatives from the vast grasslands sent him dozens of pounds of beef jerky, more than he could finish, so I bought some.

Yet, not a single one of them reached out to take anything, despite their hunger. When Zhou Yimin returned and saw them all sitting obediently at the…
