Siheyuan: Back from the Army, and the Courtyard's Beasts Are Kneeling at My Feet!

Huo Xiao was sent to the battlefield the moment he transmigrated. After being discharged, he returned to Forty-Nine City and activated a pocket dimension to solve his food and clothing problems, while secretly stashing his savings for his grandmother. His record of military service helped him land a job as a driver at the steel mill. With a new truck and a leather hat, he eats in the cafeteria while Silly Zhu looks on enviously: “That job’s a real catch!”

The steel mill’s personnel department is deeply impressed by his record, including a Third-Class Merit for combat service, and assigns him a Liberation truck on the spot. Silly Zhu is green with envy. Huo Xiao has no patience for Qin Huairu’s attentions, and when Jia Zhangshi tries to stir up trouble, he makes Banggeng admit that he stole the chicken and pay for it. He slaps Jia Zhangshi so hard she doesn’t dare make a scene!

When Qin Huairu tries to mooch meat off him, he retorts, “Your family just stole a chicken,” leaving her speechless. When Jia Zhangshi spreads rumors, he proves himself capable enough that no one in the compound dares look down on him. After earning a reward for catching a spy, he buys a bicycle that will last forever and rides around Forty-Nine City!

Xu Damao tries to take advantage of him, but Huo Xiao tricks him into making a fool of himself at a Western restaurant. He then schemes to get Xu Damao married to Liu Xianhua, and Xu Damao’s wedding looks like a joke next to Huo Xiao’s own wedding feast. After rescuing Teresa Teng in the mountains, he marries a beautiful fiancée and holds a wedding that draws the whole compound out to watch!

When he sells deer antler liquor, neighbors like Yi Zhonghai and Liu Guangtian scramble to buy it. He takes good care of his grandmother, builds his career, and deals with all the troublemakers at once. The ultimate feel-good hero of the 1960s, he lives better than anyone!
