Synopsis

In 2026, cancer patient He Yuzhu transmigrates, carrying his regrets, into the body of his namesake He Yuzhu in the 1963 capital, the same Silly Zhu from Love in the Courtyard. From the start, he awakens the “Happy Home System” and becomes bound to Love in the Courtyard: when one person is in trouble, everyone comes to help. After transmigrating, Silly Zhu breaks free of the Jia family's exploitation, finds success in both his career and marriage (with multiple heroines), and leads everyone toward the peak of their lives... Granny Deaf: “Zhuzi, are you trying to change the weather, or give us shelter from the rain?” Yi Zhonghai: “Zhuzi, what... what are you after?” Xu Damao: “Zhuzi is my brother... my own brother!” Qin Huairu: “Zhuzi... how can I go on without you?” He Yuzhu: “In this courtyard, no one has to hide money in their account, sneak around at night, or kneel when they're old.” A note from the author: I'm a new author, and I promise to write this well, finish it, and make it a long series of at least a million words. The early chapters set things up; the story hits its stride at the end of 1963 and mainly covers life in Love in the Courtyard from 1963 to 1965. The protagonist has a System and a pocket dimension, but supplies don't appear out of nowhere; everything has a source. Silly Zhu's promotion at the steel mill goes from stir-fry cook to canteen shift leader (there are three shifts), then deputy canteen director, and finally canteen director. His rise is a difficult step-by-step process, not like in other novels where a cook becomes canteen director overnight. If you like it, please add it to your collection and support the author... I love you all.
