1960.
winter.
Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill in Beijing.
"Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, isn't that where all the birds in the courtyard work!"
"Wow, that voice really did transport me to another world?"
Looking through the glass of the security room at the gilded facade of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, Lin Yang muttered something to himself.
One minute ago.
He was still watching TV dramas in his rented room, which was less than 10 square meters, scrolling through bullet comments and making sarcastic remarks.
I didn't expect that I would have complained so soon.
A strange voice suddenly rang in his mind, asking if he would be willing to take action to deal with the annoying characters in the TV series.
He didn't think much of it at the time, and he was already furious with the melodramatic plot of the TV series.
Therefore, I readily agreed to the voice in my head.
Unexpectedly, he actually time-traveled the next moment.
But time travel is fine, anyway, in his previous life he was just a miserable working man with no ties.
After nearly ten years of hard work in Shanghai, I can only afford to rent a single room of less than ten square meters.
Now that I've traveled through time, I can finally live a different life.
Based on memory.
In this world, he is also named Lin Yang, and he too is an orphan.
However, his predecessor was different from him.
The predecessor of the company was the security department of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill.
Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill is a remarkable large factory in this day and age.
It's even considered one of the top brands in Beijing!
Although he was just a security guard in the security section of the two sub-sections of the security department, he was not as good as the eight major staff members: ticket seller, driver, mail carrier, childcare worker, barber, waiter/waitress, salesperson, and cook.
But compared to those still living on relief food in the countryside and most unemployed youths in the city.
He is at least a proud working-class person with a stable income!
No kidding, as long as he says he wants to go on a blind date.
Matchmakers really do wear out his door.
In this era, his job, while not guaranteeing great wealth, at least ensured he would have enough to eat and drink.
Besides this job.
The building also had a traditional courtyard house inherited from its ancestors.
Unfortunately, the family that was originally from the city left Beijing to escape the war.
When they returned after the war subsided, they discovered that the entire courtyard house had been rented out to more than a dozen families by the neighborhood.
Because of the housing shortage, the neighborhood committee couldn't easily evict these tenants, so they could only find a way to help Lin Yang solve his job problem, while also getting these tenants to pay Lin Yang three yuan a month in rent.
Looking at the familiar faces of those dozen or so families from my memory.
Lin Yang muttered to himself, "Good heavens, I never thought I was actually the landlord of the Four Birds Courtyard!"
Fortunately, this courtyard house is in the middle courtyard, and there are still two rooms opposite the old man's house that have not been allocated yet.
Although it's not as good a location as Sha Zhu and the deaf old lady, at least the space is bigger.
Under the arrangement of the street authorities, those two rooms were allocated to the predecessor.
Even so, the Jia family forcibly rented half of one of the houses.
This happened last night.
That half-room was forcibly rented to the Jia family by Yi Zhonghai, one of the occupants of the courtyard, in a manner resembling a large meeting.
As Lin Yang expected, the statement was the same old high-sounding rhetoric.
What? The Jia family's daughter-in-law is pregnant again, and the place will be too small and inconvenient.
Lin Yang, it's such a waste for you to live in two such big rooms by yourself.
You can rent it out and get some money from it.
In short, he sacrificed Lin Yang's interests to please the Jia family, and at the same time proved his authority as the eldest son once again.
After this incident, the former was increasingly angry.
But because he was rather soft-hearted, he could only look at the half of the room that had been forcibly partitioned off from his own and mutter a few words to himself.
Little did they know that Xu Damao overheard these words.
Xu Damao was a scoundrel to begin with, and with a quick turn of his eye, he embellished the story and told it to the Siheyuan War God, Shazhu.
That silly Zhu is so old and still hasn't gotten married; he's devoted all his attention to Qin Huairu, the wife of the Jia family.
Hearing this, he instantly flew into a rage.
The next morning, he blocked Qianhe's way to work and punched him.
Furthermore, they insidiously targeted the head, abdomen, and other areas where wounds were difficult to see.
As a result, the person in question felt disoriented all day until he just passed away due to a brain hemorrhage.
Ultimately, Lin Yang took over her body.
This wasn't really the fault of the original owner, since it was his perfectly good house that was forced to be rented out. Who would be happy about that?
If Yi Zhonghai was truly kind-hearted, why didn't he give up his house for the Jia family to live in?
Anyway, he doesn't have any children, so why would he need to live in such a big house!
In addition, the entire courtyard house is the original one, and everyone in the courtyard is a tenant, and some people even fail to pay their rent on time.
In this situation, to still pressure someone who has lost both parents like this, truly befits the reputation of a courtyard full of birds.
Thinking of this, Lin Yang silently muttered to his predecessor, "Brother, just go in peace. Watch how I deal with all these people in this courtyard!"
Just then, a cold system voice suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Ding! Punishment system successfully bound!"
"Ding! Host's current occupation detected as a security guard!"
"Ding! The disciplinary system has been automatically replaced by the elite police system!"
? ? ? ? ?
Lin Yang knew he would definitely have a cheat code or something like that.
He heard the system's voice before he even traveled through time.
