The Daily Life of a 90s Nanny Building Fortune Through Food

[Food + Family Drama + Child-Rearing + Building Fortune]

In 1994, Lin Xiangxiu mustered the courage to bring her child to the city to find her husband. Along the way, she had a dream: her husband had married another woman, denied their marriage, and tried to trick her into staying in the city as a nanny to care for his pregnant wife.

Lin Xiangxiu kicked him straight into the police station—and unexpectedly landed herself a job opportunity.

The picky, germaphobic, hard-to-please Mr. Lu from the leader’s family was hiring a nanny, offering a high wage of three yuan per hour.

Lin Xiangxiu did the math: a nanny’s job is a nanny’s job, so she took it!

Spring brought Chunbing, Yanduxian, and Chunsun Menfan; summer featured Suanla Bohe Jizhua and Baizhuo Youyu; autumn offered Qingzheng Dazhaxie and Guihua Tangou; winter sizzled with Zhizi Kaorou and Zheng Lachang.

With her extraordinary culinary skills, she managed to fatten everyone up by a whole size.

Strangely, ever since she started working as a nanny, the entire Public Security Bureau residential compound suddenly found itself short of nannies. One after another, they came knocking, specifically requesting meals cooked by her.

From a small-time nanny to the owner of a chain of restaurants… Lin Xiangxiu felt her life was getting more and more promising!

But why was Mr. Lu—that picky, germaphobic, yet incredibly generous man—looking at her with increasingly peculiar expressions?
