Synopsis

[Courtyard life + exchange anything + top student + play the pig to eat the tiger + childhood betrothal + Man Is Iron, Food Is Steel + Blood-Colored Romance]

Hao Yongjun never dreamed he’d return to Yanjing in 1963.

No. 12, Nanluoguxiang, Xiaojuhua Hutong.

The Third Master finally gets his wish and becomes the courtyard’s First Master. And Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai?

One is sweeping toilets, and the other has been executed.

His parents have gone off to grow mushrooms?

Zhou Xiaobai is actually his childhood fiancée?

More than half the people in the courtyard have special identities.

Even the deaf old lady can’t hide her status as a recipient of government support.

Games like Monopoly, Richest in the World, Let's GLOF, and GTA are being developed one after another. Are you trying to play me to death?

The neighbor aunties are drooling with envy. Most people can’t get their hands on even one bicycle ticket in their whole lives, but this kid can make his own bicycles, roller skates, unicycles, and scooters.

That watch is gorgeous, and it’s solar-powered too.

There’s music playing in the workshop. What? Hao Yongjun made his own radio?

Liang Ladi is so lucky, she’s got a sewing machine. She’s the only one in all of Yanjing with one.

Anywhere Doors, bamboo-copter toys, air cannons, memory bread, the Devil’s Potion for tormenting people, amazing photo albums, and magic megaphones. As long as we have enough grain coupons, what can’t we get?

If we run out of grain coupons, we can just play games. What’s the big deal?

Your subordinate, Yi Zhonghai, has been executed. Your employment relationship with him has ended.

Your subordinate, Qin Huairu, has become a vegetable and is not expected to wake up. Calculating how many grain coupons you’ve gained…
