1️⃣Life was not easy for ordinary people in old Beijing in the 1950s. In the home where the heroine traveled through time, she and her grandmother were the only ones who depended on each other. Three years of famine is just around the corner, and even if there is space, one would not dare to use it casually. The heroine really wants to break her head for her own family.

Highly recommended! The latest Siheyuan novel about ordinary life: ①In Beijing in 2024, Chen Pingan was hit by a mysterious stone, traveled through the Siheyuan world, and was reincarnated as a two-year-old child. In the blink of an eye, the afterglow of the setting sun gradually faded away, and familiar footsteps were heard in the small village. It was the father Chen Feng and the mother Li Yu who had finished their hard work for the day and walked home under the moonlight. Later, the family moved to a courtyard, faced with many people's schemes, and lived happily in this difficult era. ②In the early spring of 1948, Lin Yuan traveled to a small village located on the outskirts of Beijing. Here, he gradually adapted to those difficult years, and his daily life was filled with hunting and fishing activities. It was not until one day that he moved into a courtyard house that he realized that this was a world full of love. . .

🍅This Siheyuan is very different. The male protagonist is a doctor from a hospital who traveled back in time. He has worked hard to improve himself for many years. He is not only capable, but also very independent. He is not a saint at all...🔥The male protagonist is Uncle Jia Dongxu. He lives in the Siheyuan and does not cause trouble. He is a very nice person.

🌈Recommend the book as requested. It is a novel in the 1960s. In order to steal the heroine's job, the heroine's cousin pushed the heroine down and fell on her head. The hero found out in time and saved the heroine. Later in the relationship, the hero took the initiative to pursue the heroine. Men and women live in the same compound, the male protagonist works as a driver, and the female protagonist works as a department store salesperson~~ 🌈Look for Ji Bai when reading, follow it, and don't get lost

Is the old Tianjin period writing good? [Laughing] It's so funny but also true. The protagonist is a young master, Yangzi, who earned his first pot of gold by inserting teeth into crickets after his rebirth. The novel is generally down-to-earth, told in human terms, and has a rigorous plot. It has the feeling of that era without any logical flaws. It is the only book I like this year. The author is also very good. Every comment will be liked.

Traveling through the integrated world of Siheyuan and Zhengyangmen, there are golden fingers, but it is mainly about living an ordinary life, not being resentful of heaven and earth, adapting to the environment, learning survival skills, carpentry, and hobbies of drawing comics, and some changes in the people around you in the wave of public-private partnership. The time is mainly 1955-56.
