In 1963, in the capital, demons and monsters run rampant in the “Beasts-Filled Courtyard.” Wang Xiaofei flees famine in Shandong Province, bringing the skills of a retired military champion, the proud legacy of a martyr’s descendant, and the support of his great-aunt, the Deaf Old Lady, whose mother was a martyr and former underground Party member. He has three jin of gold to his name and a handgun hidden away in his pocket dimension. From the start, he stumbles upon the shady business Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu are conducting in the vegetable cellar.
He only wants to quietly fix up his home and live in peace, but the courtyard is full of awful people who won’t leave him alone. The hypocritical, freeloading Qin Huairu wants to mooch off him; the sanctimonious Yi Zhonghai resorts to moral blackmail; the status-hungry Liu Haizhong wants to make an example of him; and the underhanded Xu Damao plots against him behind his back... At last, Wang Xiaofei has had enough. He beats down the ungrateful and kicks the old schemers into line, using reconnaissance tactics to set the whole courtyard straight and establishing himself through his position as a security officer.
Then he meets Li Xiaomin, a girl with braided pigtails who keeps the books at the grain shop. She doesn’t covet his money or admire his status; she only cares about his courage in standing up to injustice. From then on, Wang Xiaofei’s hard-edged life softens a little. As he sorts out the courtyard’s endless messes and protects the woman he loves, he turns all the chaos into a warm, everyday life that’s uniquely his own.
Live a good life in the courtyard! I think this idea is good Who knows! Traveling to the Shura Field in the same style as "Love in the Courtyard", at the beginning, both parents are dead, the family is meager, surrounded by blood-sucking madmen like Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu, as well as uncles like Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong who have their own agendas. Anyone else would have been chewed to the bone, but Wang Xiaofei single-handedly fought his way out! The first 20 chapters are so exciting and dense that you will get more and more excited as you read! As a time traveler, he does not have a golden finger, but he brings modern thinking and the hard-core ability of six years of military career—— With his fighting, shooting, and investigation skills maxed out, he uncovered the scandalous affair between Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu right after returning to the courtyard, and handed over an anonymous letter of report that caused the hypocrite to die socially. In the face of Jia Zhang's blackmail and petty thieves, he did not fight or scold but used deadly tricks. He used rules and strength to make this group of monsters dare not make mistakes. What's even more extraordinary is his wisdom in survival. He knows the value of food stamps, understands the ways of the world, pays generously to workers to repair houses but sticks to the bottom line, supports the orphan Zuo Lan but does not condone it, and even treats guests to a bottle of Arctic Ocean soda, which can pave the way for the future. The first 20 chapters of the novel not only fill up the contradictions and conflicts in the courtyard, but also vividly restore the quality of life in the 1960s - the elbows in the Red Star Hotel, the scarce materials in the supply and marketing cooperative, the crisp bells on the 28th pole, and the filial piety among the neighbors. Every detail makes people feel like they have traveled back to an era of material scarcity but undercurrents. Wang Xiaofei is not a perfect saint. He has sinister calculations and a kind bottom line. Watching him go from being alone to making reliable brothers and winning the favor of beauties, step by step to establish a foothold in the steel rolling mill and establish rules in the courtyard. This sense of counterattack from scratch and comeback against the wind is really addictive!
