How Can I Search All of Tomato and Not Find a Single Period-Era Novel from a Man's Perspective Where He Doesn't Go to the Countryside???
No going to the countryside, no going to the countryside, no going to the countryside. I'm saying it three times because it's important!!! Working in the city is great. Otherwise, so many people wouldn't refuse to go to the countryside and do hard labor. Preferably no CP. The male lead can have male and female friends, but not in the main story...

I'm not afraid of authors with low cultural literacy, I'm only afraid of authors who put their heart into their work. Overall, the presentation is currently well-organized and flows smoothly. Keep it up!
This is the first time I've seen a siheyuan (traditional courtyard house) where they directly arrested He Daqing and labeled Sha Zhu as a "black five categories" (the retirement team is useless without Sha Zhu as a henchman; I just feel sorry for Xiao Yushui). I give this idea five stars.
I was looking for something to read and found this one. It's alright, but I haven't had enough. Please update it more often!
I'm quietly adding a star to my own account; there are just too few comments. [Please follow][Please follow][Please follow] I've seen many insightful comments in the comment section, and I want to apologize first. My lack of professional knowledge and limited education may have caused some unpleasantness. Thank you for your understanding, care, and support.
This is the second time I've read it, and I've only seen up to chapter 25 the first time. The book portrays both the ordinary and the extraordinary. The protagonist's hard work is fantastic! I hate reading those kinds of novels where the top high school graduate in 1960 doesn't study and ends up working as a purchasing agent at a steel mill.
Let the wind blow over the Lou family; when the wind comes, no one can stop it.
Holy crap! The protagonist didn't cause any trouble! The troublemaker delivered himself to the protagonist's doorstep (by drugging him), and the protagonist just knocked him out and escaped over the wall...
Having read and listened to dozens of historical fiction novels, I still can't understand why, with all sorts of advantages, someone would risk everything to sell supplies. Based on what I know from my parents' generation, the period of scarcity only lasted about a decade or so. After that, as long as you had a job, you wouldn't starve, regardless of how good the food was.
Before I leave, let me comment. I felt the beginning was pretty good, but the problem was the sales. What era are we living in? Just having enough stuff is enough, right? Do you really think you're so careful and have such superhuman strength? How did they solve cases and track people down in ancient times? Finding you would be a piece of cake.
This courtyard novel was a pleasant read. There weren't many messy or complicated events. I hope there won't be any more of those messy things later on, and that the protagonist won't have any further interaction with Lou Xiao'e. It's a cliffhanger; with the protagonist's current circumstances, he could just marry someone with a clean background and live a comfortable life.
