Zhang Zhou transmigrates to a courtyard house in the mid-1950s and becomes best friends with Jia Dongxu.
One day, Jia Dongxu quietly tells him he's going on a blind date, and brings his fiancée along.
A buddy's wife is fair game. Zhang Zhou promptly steals Qin Huairu away and tricks her into becoming his child bride.
And so, the whole courtyard takes on a different look.
First Uncle: "Zhang Zhou, Huairu's only a teenager. Is it really right to make her do such heavy work?"
Second Uncle: "Have you no humanity? You spend all day eating and loafing around, while Qin Huairu does all the work?"
Third Uncle: "What the heck? Qin Huairu is heavily pregnant, and you're still making her cook for you?"
The whole courtyard of brutes: "Why don't you do something decent for once?"
When Zhang Zhou has something to do, Huairu does it. When he has nothing to do, he does Huairu. Life's so comfortable day after day!
