The story takes place after 1960. The whole story is nonsense.
The timeline of the first chapter is when Gong is 12 years old.
Xie Wenyun grew up living in a courtyard house. It's just not a courtyard house in Beijing. It is a courtyard made of mud.
Xie Wenyun: "What's your name?"
The young man looked at the bright young man in front of him and said softly: "Ji Yu."
While sighing that the name was good, Xie Wenyun said: "My mother was picked up by my father. Later, my mother became my father's wife. My father picked you up for me, so you are my wife."
Ji Yu: "But I am a man..."
Xie Wenyun: "..."
Ji Yu's father Ji Yao was a comrade-in-arms of Xie Wenyun's father Xie Shu. When the war broke out, the two agreed with each other that Xie Shu would help take care of Ji Yu as long as he survived. Ji Yao will help take care of Xie Wenyun as long as he lives.
In the end, Xie Shu survived. Ji Yu's mother quickly left Xie Shu in order to remarry, as if she was afraid that he would regret it.
Xie Shu took Ji Yu home. I thought Xie Wenyun would make a fuss, but in the end he didn't care at all.
In Xie Wenyun's words: "Isn't it just one more person to eat? Our family is not a billionaire, and we have no inheritance to inherit, so what does this mean?"
Intention: secular
