Siheyuan: From the Start, I Took My Sister to Flee the Famine for the Capital

Su Baoguo transmigrates to 1960, the famine years, and becomes a refugee fleeing for his life. He is now a sixteen-year-old boy with a six-year-old sister in tow. What a disastrous start: all they have to eat is a handful of elm leaves, and they’re on the verge of starving to death. Then Su Baoguo unexpectedly awakens the Doomsday Survival System, giving him a way to stay alive. After a long and arduous journey, they finally reach the capital. They don’t dare go near any villages they pass, even those where people are still alive. In the capital, they are settled in a refugee camp in Nanluoguxiang. After unexpectedly saving Xu Damao’s life, Su Baoguo gets a job as a purchasing agent at a steel mill. In a year of disaster, this job, once envied by everyone as one of the Eight Great Jobs, has become practically useless. When everyone is going hungry, what is there to procure? It’s a job nobody else wants, but Su Baoguo will take it. With the System, he doesn’t think he’ll have any trouble doing his job. Once employed, he is assigned a place to live in a courtyard house: the notorious “Beasts-Filled Courtyard.” How will Su Baoguo survive among this bunch of beasts?
