Siheyuan: Joining Iron Boss’s Team from the Start

Li Yuemin transmigrates to Nanluoguxiang in 1960. He expects to use his wits to take on the troublesome neighbors in his courtyard, but soon realizes he has underestimated the famine...

Children on the street lean listlessly against the walls, too hungry to speak and afraid to move.

Groups of three or five women carry baskets out of the city to dig for wild greens, their faces green with hunger.

A handful of cornmeal in the cooking pot is considered a feast.

The schools are empty too. The teachers are so hungry they have to lean on their desks just to stand.

Fortunately, Li Yuemin has a Farming System that lets him harvest food continuously. He has enough for his own family and can even sell the surplus to organizations in the capital with permission to make extra-plan purchases.

In these times, anyone who can get their hands on grain outside the ration plan is treated like a god of wealth wherever they go.

Workplaces that ordinary people could only dream of joining, even after spending their entire savings, now beg him to come work for them.

The Steel Rolling Mill, the police station, the state-run restaurant, Peking University, the supply and marketing cooperative...

After much deliberation, Li Yuemin joins the legendary Railroad Bureau, where a bowl is passed down through three generations and remains even after its owner dies.

The troublesome neighbors are consumed by jealousy...
