Return to 1981: the Days of the Courtyard House

Lin Jian, who was middle-aged, had a drink with his son on the National Day eve of the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. He opened his eyes and returned to the courtyard in 1981. At that time, he was still an eleven-year-old third-grade student, sleeping on a hard bed in the east wing, with his sister in braids next to him. Outside the window came the shouts of the fool chopping firewood, the whispers of the third uncle calculating the briquettes, and the footsteps of his mother walking by carrying the toilet - those long-dead relatives and the noisy neighbors in the yard were all vividly before his eyes. Regrets from his previous life were like thorns: the young parents who passed away left behind "children who wanted to be raised but could not be loved by relatives", the youth that was missed while running for a living, the losses suffered and the stupidities made in the courtyard... This time, he clenched his eleven-year-old fists and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar courtyard with only one thought in his mind: To live a new life, you have to live your life clearly. Protect your parents, cherish your siblings, stand up to the scheming third uncle, and get along well with Silly Zhu. In this age full of opportunities, you must seize every opportunity so that your life in the courtyard will have no regrets. This is a middle-aged man returning to his youth in an old courtyard in 1981. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious. Any similarity is purely coincidental and should not be imitated.
