A rare gem of a book! The protagonist is an incredibly kind-hearted man during a time of great hardship. When his third uncle comes to announce a meeting, he treats him to meat buns and plenty of vegetables, worried that others might not have enough to eat. After being promoted, he gives 100 eggs to the entire household. This was during a time of great difficulty, when everyone was starving. Look how kind and loving the protagonist is!
It's a good watch; it doesn't dwell on the plot set in the courtyard house, but rather shows the characters contributing to national development and has positive values. Keep it up!
The Siheyuan Masterpiece currently has two minor flaws: First, the background setting is too strong (everyone around him is a good person). Second, there's no need to whitewash the Yan family. They weren't poor; they were simply stingy small business owners from before liberation, intellectuals.
This is a masterpiece among the stories about courtyard houses. I hope you can maintain this level of quality in the future. Keep it up!
I've read up to chapter 31, and the protagonist is about to tell his family about the space, which feels inappropriate. A secret is a secret because if only one person knows it, it's a secret; if two people know it, it's no longer a secret. Besides, the protagonist has a family of five. Some things you can tell your family, some things you can't.
Where does so much hostility come from in a courtyard house? It's mostly about everyday family matters and the mundane details of life. A courtyard house is more about human relationships and social interactions.
This is what a realistic novel is like. Unlike other novels where characters loot houses, bully martyrs' descendants, build harems, poison and beat people, and then get away with it, at most receiving a fine, it's a pure insult to people's intelligence.
This is the least hostile courtyard house I've ever seen.
It's quite good. In the first few chapters, the protagonist, now a deputy section chief, is ingratiating himself with a few old men in a courtyard house in 1959, delivering eggs and noodles to everyone in the courtyard, and giving apples to everyone he meets.
So far, things are going pretty well. Keep it up!
