Keeping House the Siheyuan Way

Of all the courtyard houses I've read, this one portrays the characters most realistically. They're all ordinary people, struggling to make ends meet, embodying the traditional Beijing shrewdness and the warmth and coldness of human relationships among neighbors.

This is the kind of courtyard house I envisioned. If Jia Zhangshi were truly demonized, he would indeed die an unexplained death.

It's so good! The main character has a special ability and a powerful background. He fakes illness to marry Qin Huairu, selflessly dedicates himself to the entire hospital, and even distributes meat to everyone in the hospital for two cents a pound during the Lunar New Year. This is great love, selfless dedication, and a moral benchmark. I can't be the only one watching this! 😏

The plot is well-structured, unfolding around the theme of repaying a debt of gratitude while maintaining harmony; it's a decent courtyard novel. The only downside is the slow update schedule—hurry up! The first novel about a courtyard house forming a gang, and it was the kind that was perfectly legitimate.

This novel depicts life in that era, unlike other courtyard houses filled with fighting, killing, and cannibalism, which seem demonized. Those courtyard houses are like rubble. After the founding of New China, there was no such thing anymore. 😂 This novel is good, but the details and writing style are lacking. Those who understand will understand. Keep updating!

This book is hilarious and also touches on the warmth and coldness of human relationships.

This book truly resonated with me. There wasn't so much hostility in the courtyard houses; people were ruthless and merciless towards their enemies, unlike the drawn-out, drawn-out scenes in his novels. Fan Ting's serious incident was resolved with just an apology – this deserves five stars. I love Qin Huairu as the protagonist; he suffered so much, he deserves better treatment.

That's good, well-reasoned and not too upsetting. The others are more distressing.

Maybe it's because there aren't many words! I read it anyway, it was quite heartwarming!

Reading is okay, but listening to audiobooks is really awkward; it's all about using periods and punctuation.
