Story stages and prospects
The first stage (has happened): breaking the situation and establishing power (Chapter 1 - about Chapter 50)
The protagonist travels through time, recognizes the reality, and decisively cuts off contact with Qinhuai Rujia.
In the face of incidents such as Bangge's theft and Xu Damao's provocation, he had a tough attitude and successfully changed the image of "Silly Zhu" who was easy to bully.
After getting acquainted with Ran Qiuye, the relationship developed smoothly and the emotional main line was laid.
Result: Successfully jumped out of the first big pit in the original drama (being bound by Qin Huairu's family), and his interpersonal relationships and future development path were completely changed.
The second stage (ongoing): dormancy and accumulation (about Chapter 51 - current chapter)
He was sent to the workshop for offending his boss, but he has a good attitude and uses the space to continue to improve his life.
The relationship with Ran Qiuye is stable and the relationship is developing towards marriage.
The unexpected relationship with Lou Xiao'e laid the foundation for the unexpected relationship (child).
Xu Damao, Liu Haizhong and others are still making trouble in secret, and conflicts are accumulating.
The third stage (future outlook): Rise and take-off
Career: With their cooking skills, space and insight into the times, they are likely to seize opportunities after the crisis (such as reform and opening up), go into business overseas, and become the first to become rich.
Family: Marry Ran Qiuye and live a happy life. The line between Lou Xiaoe and her children may bring about new plots in the later stages (such as the return of Hong Kong businessmen).
Gratitude: The struggle with Xu Damao and others will continue, but as the protagonist's strength and status increase, it will become a crushing situation. The ending of "The Birds in the Siheyuan" will be more "pleasant" than the original drama.
