Beijing, a traditional courtyard house, 1952, winter!
"Holy cow, I actually time-traveled."
Li Wuwei woke up, and instantly a string of twenty-plus years of unfamiliar memories flooded his mind.
He had actually time-traveled to the world of the TV series "Love in the Courtyard" and became a common resident in the backyard.
But he wasn't actually ordinary, because just yesterday, the original Li Wuwei inherited two independent courtyards, three storefronts and a vast fortune from his great-grandfather. He was so overjoyed he got drunk.
He happened to be playing "drinking games" with a few girls last night, and was taken by Da Wu Su (a brand of beer) to his demise, and by some twist of fate, he time-traveled.
This was a great start! His late great-grandfather, his ancestors, had been running an old shop since the Qianlong era.
However, it went bankrupt before the founding of the nation due to poor market conditions.
After that, his great-grandfather lived off his savings. He had two uncles, but both died early because they were opium addicts.
His mother ran away and was never recognized by his great-grandfather.
But finally, unable to bear it anymore, his great-grandfather acknowledged his impoverished grandson before he passed away, and his estate was left to the original owner - which is to say, Li Wuwei.
Li Wuwei looked at the house in front of him, two rooms inside and outside, and a kitchen outside, located in the backyard of the courtyard, next to the deaf old lady's house.
It was not bad. After all, his mother died early, and his father also passed away due to illness a few years ago.
He took over his father's position at the steel mill three and a half years ago and is now a level one fitter, earning thirty-three yuan per month.
If he followed the original trajectory, he would have moved out of the courtyard today, to his great-grandfather's big yard to enjoy life, so he wouldn't have appeared in the courtyard drama.
But now Li Wuwei felt that he couldn't move, he was a lone wolf, with three storefronts, two big courtyards, he couldn't handle it.
But continuing to live in this courtyard didn't seem like a good idea either, this place was too complicated.
"Ding! System generating, judging the host's hijacking of the original owner's destiny, this system is generated as the Hijack System."
"Initiating the initial gift package, Iron Bone, enhancing the host's physical fitness to the human limit."
"The host will receive corresponding rewards for each successful hijack."
"Ding! The host has hijacked the original owner's great-grandfather's estate, awarding a personal space, the size of a football field, allowing you to freely take out non-living objects."
Hiss! Li Wuwei gasped, this was a huge win! He didn't expect to not only time-travel but also have a system, although this hijacking sounded a bit unreliable, the reward was real.
In an instant, he felt a burst of explosive strength throughout his body, with a faint popping sound when he clenched his fist.
With each breath, there was a tiger-leopard roar within his body, if he put on a cloak he would be like the Patriot!
Moreover, in his consciousness, there was a space the size of a football field, and any object he touched could be put in, and the space could also choose to freeze time.
Immediately, he put a bench inside and took it out again, playing with it happily.
After calming down, he was eager to dig out the fortune his great-grandfather had hidden under the old locust tree in his ancestral home and put it in the space, that would be safe.
As for everything else, he would consider it later.
"Branch ah!"
Li Wuwei pulled open the door and went out. The sky was already bright outside, he didn't know what time it was, but his stomach was grumbling.
It was a weekend, he didn't have a good reputation in the courtyard, plus he lived in the backyard, so no one paid attention to his movements.
No one was in the backyard at this time, which was strange.
When he reached the middle courtyard, he saw Silly Zhu, who looked anxious, and Xu Damao, who was born with a horse face.
"Hey! Jia Dongxu is on a blind date, when I become a full-time worker, I'll find a wife too."
Silly Zhu looked at the Jia family's house with envy, but he couldn't see anything through the curtains.
"Silly Zhu, you can dream on, you're just a cook, where will you get a wife."
Xu Damao argued directly, he also wanted a wife.
These two, one eighteen years old, one nineteen years old, are both single.
Li Wuwei suddenly had an idea, and asked, "Hey, who is Jia Dongxu on a blind date with?"
"What's it to you, scram."
Xu Damao has always disliked Li Wuwei. They are both in the backyard, why is Li Wuwei so handsome, while he was born with a horse face.
Silly Zhu snorted and didn't reply.
Li Wuwei then remembered that his bad reputation in the courtyard was mainly because he didn't have any elders to help him out, and he was stuck with two rooms, which made people envious.
But his two rooms were his ancestral home, originally bought by his ancestors for forty-five silver dollars, they were not assigned, no one could take them away.
He didn't bother to argue with these two kids now, his great-grandfather's property was the priority.
He then left, he had to pee, he was drunk last night.
When he came out of the public toilet, he saw a young woman in plain clothes, but with a beautiful face, fair skin, and delicate features, coming out of the courtyard.
This woman carried an indescribable charm that captivated people at first glance.
Some say that all love at first sight is lust at first sight.
Li Wuwei had to admit that he had fallen for her, it was Qin Huai Ru in her youth.
The courtyard drama started in 1965, at that time Pang Geng was already twelve years old, but now it was thirteen years earlier, 1962.
Qin Huai Ru was only twenty years old, compared to the mother of three children thirteen years later, she was simply the pinnacle of beauty, her every frown and smile captivating.
No wonder Silly Zhu and Xu Damao were always lingering outside the Jia family's house in the middle courtyard, they must have seen her.
Seeing Qin Huai Ru approaching, he instinctively stepped forward, but Qin Huai Ru instinctively dodged, and he instinctively leaned towards her.
"Comrade, you, you're blocking my way."
Qin Huai Ru lowered her head slightly, clutching her clothes, not knowing how to handle the situation.
This was her first time in Beijing, she was brought here by a matchmaker for a blind date, she didn't dare to argue with people in the city.
"Ahem..."
Li Wuwei didn't intend to get involved with Qin Huai Ru, she was the white lotus of the courtyard, whoever took care of her was a fool, she would be tied down for life, and she would be a barren woman.
But Qin Huai Ru was still prime now! He had met her, there was no reason to let Jia Dongxu, that scumbag, have her.
Moreover, his unreliable system, the core is the word hijack.
"Female comrade, I live in this courtyard, why have I never seen you before?"
