Currently on Chapter 49 and will be this when I've finished reading this.

I kinda agree with other's sentiment that you cannot feel the ML. The ML is not the pushy type so his character lack scenes. But if he appeared, he will help MC with the little things that he cannot do/have. I think he is nice. A supportive type. It's just that his POV lacks so many people doesn't really want it. If you are a type who doesn't want anyone interfere with what they are doing, you will... more>> love this type of ML. He do things subtly and as the story progress I hope that he will keep on hinting MC that if he needs help, he can ask ML anytime and MC should not be pressured by it (because he already did it on c48 if I am not mistaken.)

I just hate the fact that there are supporting characters that do not have a name even if the MC is asking for their help everytime. Like, author-san, please give them name and don't refer them as *child name*'s father/mother. 😭😭😭 Will vote 4 stars for now. <<less

It was good. Almost all the parts were abt Xu Fan, the 4yo kid always following his dad, Xu Zhao the MC, to work and wherever he went. With enough money, skill set and his 21th century's mindset MC slowly could escape the poverty life. The son was a chatterbox, lovable, papa's boy, foodie, smart and subtle in asking what he couldnt ask. I feel, the son became the 2nd main character lol

ML seemed cold and distance when they're just acquaintance of his nephew. After he wanted to... more>> get close with MC, we can see how ML treated them differently.

In the last 20 chapters, the author introduced new characters as the designated villain and continued to the comatose MC plot. These were too out of the plot line and cliche for me. And not written with logic. The villain or the love rival only showed up now. Where was he when ML was chasing mc? And a half a month comatose patient who had injury could walk hour after he woke up. After 1day checking in hospital the next day he discharged, went home to rest for a day. The next day he could get to work again.

If I ignore the last plot, it still be okay. Still a nice transmigration story. <<less

Overall great read and extremely cute. Just my preference, but I wish he used his knowledge of future events a bit more and created more monopoly in business like the other 80s one no matter how unrealistic it is.

The story is actually good overall, there isn’t much drama and the romance kinda slow but, when they actually found out how they feel, they got together.

The baby is freaking adorable and acts like an actual baby unlike other mpreg novels. It is good and actually worth read for me.

DON'T READ THIS!!!

ITS FOR MY OWN FUTURE REREAD

My first impression is that the son is super adorable.. The 'original character' drowned so MC got into his body, when he's awake, the first thing that he notice is that he had a son, so he struggle to make end meets. His 2 brother are axxhole, Mc's father was hospitalised because of a stroke, his two brother announced that they don't want to take care of their father and wanted to separate the family, so MC step up to take care of his child, father and mother only using little bit of money, he started from selling popsicle, mooncake to opening a greenhouse, this is a story about his journey (the ML is the friend's youngest uncle)

I like how the author decided not to write about Xu Zhao's children growing up because he/she reluctant to see them grow up.

I don't want to see them grow up too😭

lol after reading this novel I feel like I became a mother.

Very cute read. MC is definitely pretty OP, but it's tempered by him having limits (that he overcomes by learning) and accumulating power not for revenge but for his aborable son. All the side characters were cute, though they were more for the sake of the MC than actual focus characters. ML was solid, kind of wish the twist didn't exist but Chinese novels still have their prejudices. Overall, a nice story.

Absolutely Heartwarming. Precious Adorably Cute little Son. Has Supportive Neighbor and Friend. Confident Hard worker MC. Great ML even without being Perfect.

One of the Best Transmigrated into Ancient time Novel so far!

No Golden Fingers, but MC get 90% smooth life, the 10% was when trouble come unexpected. His smooth life was because he ready to work hard and all. He use his brain and has great confidence. His supportive friend who also has supportive family helps him a lot too.

And his son is truly absolutely Adorable!!! Tons of Family Fluff... more>> !!!

The romance sure is Slow, but they're finally here! At least unspoken (?) official between MC and ML.

Anyway it's not Boring at all and Worth my Time!!!

Pray the translation would keep going till complete! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 <<less

Update: I enjoyed it. It felt very slice of life story. Summary and tags were accurate. Read up to c91 of the translated chapters. And it's cute. The love between MC and his kid seem pretty realistic. Although the transmigration part feels skipped over pretty fast, we do get some emotional upheaval in the beginning. I like the business aspects and this whole slice of life situation. Even the romance feels so nice.

Its a good story so far, I like how he made his family's life progress little by little. The baobei is also super cute and his interaction with his friend was hilarious. For the ML I think he's a better choice than the best friend. Even though he seems bland he has a sense of responsibility, the MC can rely on him for help in his business, while if bff became the ML the MC would have to take care of him too and teach him the ways since he's... more>> a bit ignorant but the MC already has a lot of things and people to care about. So for me the uncle is better suited for the MC. <<less

Pretty good. I'd say give it a shot if you're bored. MTLs cleanly. At c133.

Spoiler

coma thing is like 3 chapters, skip of you want and pretend he bumped his head

[collapse]

Extras were okay. Doubt I'd read them again outside of first few.

Will probably reread this when it's done being translated. I read what's translated up to c37 and it's solid quality.

I was so interested reading the synopsis so I picked it up, and wow it truly so fun to read. I really love MC and his son interactions, they're so adorable! ꉂꉂ (ᴖᗜᴖ*) The romance between MC and ML is slowburn, but the entire story didn't boring at all, the setting feels like they bring me back to the 80s era too. I just finished the novel but I already miss Xu Sanwa : (he's truly so cute and (adorably) annoying XD love him

I came for the farming and yaoi tag and was expecting a real slow burn romance but all I get is an ML that acts more like a supporting actor. Slow burn romance is such an overstatement. And the kid is cute at the start but for something that the author keeps on emphasizing as smart and mature he came out as smart and spoiled to the point that he lacks the manners for adults while being subservient. It's contradicting and very much not realistic. Being clingy and narcissistic is... more>> fine and cute in moderation, too much is just annoying. So I'll be dropping this as of now😔 <<less

Although I’m not usually a fan of long winded paragraphs and stories with hardly any romancing. I do really appreciate this written piece. In a time where I’m growing slowly from the selfish mindset of what’s yours is mine and what’s mine is mine. This Novel came at the perfect time. At the start of the story, within the first to twenty, it really shook my perspective of selfishness that it was so hard for people. It’s one thing to hear it regurgitated at you that things are difficult for... more>> others, and another to read about someone’s experience. This Story may not be a hundred percent steeped in reality, but it does hold a lot of wisdom of times past. Letting us know that hard work and dedication can take you anywhere. <<less

From a personal point of view, to be honest, this novel is disappointing. It started out relatively fine but then it really went downhill.

To me it was really long winded. I'm not sure about others but the way the story was written was tiring. Too much repetition. Although some would say it reflects the slice if life, laid back setting, the monotonous scripts is just really exhausting to read.

There's also the child. In my opinion his characterisation is somewhat flawed. He grew up in a difficult and poor environment, bullied by his older cousins, it would be more believable if he had a more restrained, cautions, understanding nature despite being young.

Of course, my first impression when I first started was that despite the hardships, he is a happy to be by his father's side kind of child. But then as the story progresses, the novel just portrayed him being spoiled, throwing tantrums, not listening to adults. Although there may be such children in reality, but for the purpose of this novel, it does not match the setting.

The fact that the dialogues with him is always about cars and food is really redundant to the point of annoyance. It really made me wonder, is there really nothing else you could say other then I want to eat this, I want to ride the big car?

I honestly didn't think of this novel as cute but it is a bit bland. <<less

3.5 stars. Nice, easy going story to pass the time. Not really any conflicts between main leads, son is super narcissistic but in a cute and funny way. Minor conflicts between brothers that doesn’t actually lead to much. If you want a sweet, slow and mostly fluffy story, with cute bun, standard farming from poor to rich (for the times), this was well-written. Nothing too exciting happens so story is not particularly gripping or interesting but if you want to kill time without drama or stress, this is a nice... more>> easy read. I prefer a bit more spice and drama so hence not 4 or 5 stars but characters are not brain dead, translation is excellent and everything makes sense so worth a read. <<less
