The winner of life in the courtyard

Chapter 1: Traveling through time, still a courtyard

Late autumn of nineteen sixty-two.

It has been raining for several days and the temperature has dropped rapidly.

Although the rain has stopped now, a strong wind suddenly blew in the evening, making people inexplicably feel that winter is coming.

Shen Zhiping lay in the warm quilt, listening to the whimpering sound of the northwest wind blowing through the window gaps, with the corners of his mouth raised, and he was in a very good mood.

He has crossed!
It’s still a courtyard house!
This courtyard is known for its outstanding people and beautiful scenery. There are the moral gentleman Yi Zhonghai, the fatherly love as strong as a mountain Liu Haizhong, the plucked-out Yan Bugui, the undead summoner Jia Zhangshi, the ultimate bootlicker He Yuzhu, the white lotus of the prosperous age Qin Huairu...

But this has nothing to do with Shen Zhiping.

Although he lived in a courtyard house, he had no intention of socializing with the people there. After all, the generation gap between them was too big, like a chasm.

After traveling through time, Shen Zhiping was a little unhappy at first, but after integrating the memories of his previous life, Shen Zhiping became happy.

Sure enough, this time travel was not in vain!

Before he traveled through time, he didn't even have a formal job.

But now, he works as a technician in a steel rolling mill, a regular employee, a level 15 technician, with a monthly salary of 42.5 yuan.

This salary is already very good compared to most people in this era.

To put it bluntly, this is not as good as the best, but better than the worst.

Before he traveled through time, he was still struggling for the down payment on a house.

But now, his house problem has been solved directly.

The housing allocated by the steel mill is the East Courtyard of No. 95 Nanluoguxiang. This East Courtyard is just a small courtyard with three rooms, but one of the side rooms is half collapsed. It is because of this that Shen Zhiping was able to get this entire courtyard.

However, Shen Zhiping is currently short of money and does not have enough money to clean up the east wing. Even though there are three rooms, he only cleaned up the main room for temporary residence.

According to Shen Zhiping's idea, he would save up several months' salary to renovate the east wing courtyard. Then, he would build a small door leading into the east wing courtyard. Normally, he would just need to lock the small door and his house would become a private house with its own courtyard.

Marry a beautiful wife, and life will be summed up in one word: awesome!

boom! boom! boom!
Just as Shen Zhiping began to imagine his wonderful life in the future, there was a knock on the door.

"Who?"

Shen Zhiping yelled impatiently.

Then, I heard the woman's reply from outside.

"Technician Shen, it's me, Qin Huairu!"

Qin Huairu!
Hearing the voices outside, Shen Zhiping sat up instantly.

Qin Huairu, known as the White Lotus in the Siheyuan, the number one blood-sucking widow.

"Comrade Qin Huairu, what can I do for you?"

Shen Zhiping didn't open the door, but climbed out of the quilt. He left the slightly warm bed and felt that the weather was really cold. He quickly put on his clothes and then snuggled back into the quilt.

"Technician Shen, please open the door. I have something to talk to you about!"

"Comrade Qin Huairu, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly!"

The bedroom was simply cleaned up here, and it was temporarily habitable. Qin Huairu came to the door, and Shen Zhiping didn't want to be implicated by the way she had manipulated Sha Zhu.

There is a lot of trouble at the widow's door.

If this widow came into his house, he would be in trouble.

Now he is a good guy with a house and money. He can find a beautiful wife. Isn't she nice?
"Technician Shen, please open the door!"

"I'm planning to introduce you to someone, you can't just say this!"

"Comrade Qin Huairu, thank you for your kindness. I have no intention of getting married yet, so I won't bother you!"

When Shen Zhiping heard Qin Huairu say that she wanted to introduce him to someone, he immediately thought of Qin Jingru.

Some people say that Qin Jingru is actually a pretty good person, but Shen Zhiping really doesn't agree with that.

Qin Huairu introduced her to Sha Zhu for a blind date, but Xu Damao tricked her away with just a few words, and then had some good food and bought two pieces of clothes. Qin Jingru even slept with him without caring that Xu Damao had a wife. With such a character, do you think she is good? What a jerk!

Besides, with his current status and income, is it difficult for him to find a beautiful wife in the city?
"Technician Shen, please open the door first!"

"Maybe after listening to what I said, you'll want to get married!" Qin Huairu stood at the door, still chattering.

Shen Zhiping didn't expect that even though he was so blunt, this person would still be so persistent. He must be crazy.

"Comrade Qin Huairu, I think I have expressed myself clearly enough!"

"Besides, it's not good for your reputation for a man and a woman to be in the same room together!"

"Please stop talking, thank you!"

Shen Zhiping spoke again, his voice already filled with suppressed anger.

If Qin Huairu still refuses to give up, he really doesn't mind going out and teaching her a lesson.

"Technician Shen, I'm sorry, I can't help it!"

"We are running out of food at home, and my children are still young and growing up..."

"Woooo..."

Outside the door, Qin Huairu had already started crying.

Shen Zhiping was very confused. What did he say?
Why is this woman crying?

Didn't you say you would introduce me to someone? What does this have to do with your family running out of food?

Shen Zhiping really couldn't understand the logic behind this.

"Comrade Qin Huairu, what are you doing?"

"Your family is running out of food, so why are you looking for the old man in the yard? Why are you looking for me? I have only been working in the steel mill for less than a month, and I haven't even received my salary!"

"If you want to borrow food from me, I really don't have any!"

Shen Zhiping explained to the other party patiently.

However, what he didn't expect was that before he could persuade Qin Huairu, a second person entered the east wing. It was Sha Zhu, who was known as the ultimate bootlicker of the courtyard!

Sha Zhu is a man who is usually quite clever, but when he encounters Qin Huairu's problems, his brain goes blank in an instant and he turns into a courtyard god of war.

"Mr. Shen, how dare you bully Sister Qin!"

Seeing Qin Huairu crying, Sha Zhu didn't even ask the reason and directly concluded that it was Shen Zhiping who bullied Qin Huairu. He instantly turned into the God of War in the courtyard and kicked towards Shen Zhiping's door.

boom!
boom!
The door of the house was kicked hard by Sha Zhu, and it fell down with a loud bang, hitting the ground heavily, splashing up a lot of dust.

"He Yuzhu!"

"What's wrong with you fucking brain?"

Shen Zhiping didn't care whether Sha Zhu was the courtyard's god of war or not. He jumped up from the bed and kicked Sha Zhu in the air, knocking him to the ground.

"Technician Shen, how could you hit someone?"

When Qin Huairu saw Sha Zhu being kicked over, she stopped crying and hurried to help Sha Zhu up, while roaring at Shen Zhiping.

"Are you blind?"

"Shazhu kicked down my door, so what if I hit him?"

Shen Zhiping was already very angry about Qin Huairu's behavior, so naturally he would not tolerate her faults at this moment.

"How is this going?"

Yan Bugui, the third uncle of the courtyard house, made his debut.

Shen Zhiping glanced at the other person and wanted to hit him hard on the face twice.

As the gate god of the Siheyuan, Yan Bugui could see everyone coming in and out of the Siheyuan. So, he must have seen Qin Huairu entering the east wing.

Correspondingly, Sha Zhu’s appearance in the East Courtyard must have been inseparable from Yan Bugui’s guidance.

To put it bluntly, without Yan Bugui's guidance, none of this would have happened.
