Courtyard House: She got anxious when He Yushui wasn't licked.

"But what? Could it be that your silly Zhu has someone he likes?" Qin Huairu frowned, sensing something was wrong.

"No, no, no, I've discovered that the smartest people in the world are widows." He Yuzhu could only make up an excuse; he didn't dare to tell the truth, after all, having designs on a widow was a shameful thing.

"Nonsense." Qin Huairu blushed slightly.

"Go and rest. Yushui has been at her classmate's house for two days. The room is empty. I'm going to sleep in Yushui's room." He Yuzhu got up and left the room thoughtfully.

Qin Huairu returned to Banggeng's side and stayed by his side. To her, Banggeng was her life.

Inside He Yushui's room, He Yuzhu lay down and fell asleep immediately, pondering a question: Is Qin Huairu's cousin as pretty as Qin Huairu? If she is, then marrying a virgin seems better than marrying a widow. But what if Qin Huairu's cousin isn't as pretty as Qin Huairu? How should he politely refuse her then?

That night, He Yuzhu had a dream in which he finally got together with Qin Huairu after many years.

Unfortunately, just as he finished dreaming about getting his marriage certificate with Qin Huairu, a fierce wind started blowing and it began to snow heavily outside. He Yuzhu was so cold that he wrapped himself tightly in the quilt and couldn't fall asleep at all.

This winter is much colder than usual, and the snowfall is heavy, which is not a good sign.

In the capital, everyone liked to stockpile Chinese cabbage in their cellars, as it was a life-saving food source.

Most families in the courtyard had stockpiled a lot of cabbages, and an old man named Yi Zhonghai had even stored several bags of grain in a hidden corner of the cellar as a precaution.

The continuously cooling weather in Beijing is the hardest for poor families. They can't afford to use honeycomb briquettes, and they don't even have thick blankets. They can only endure the cold.

Chapter 32 Qin Jingru enters the city, Xu Damao's heart is moved.

The next morning, Xu Damao returned home. He put down his bicycle and eagerly carried two bags of agricultural products back to his house.

The treatment of showing movies in the countryside was naturally good. Not only were they provided with good food and drink, but they could also take food and drinks with them.

"Xiao'e! My wife!"

Xu Damao proudly placed two bags of agricultural products on the table, showing off, "These past two days have been worthwhile. Look, these are all good stuff."

"You're finally back. A lot has happened in the compound these past two days."

Lou Xiao'e knew that Xu Damao had good benefits as a projectionist, and he always brought back a lot of good things every time he went to the countryside, and this time was no exception.

"We'll talk about the compound later. Our factory is showing a new film today called Asma. You should come and watch it too." Xu Damao was especially happy today, as he would be able to sit at the same table with the factory leaders tonight.

"A new movie?" As a family member of a factory worker, Lou Xiao'e was naturally allowed to enter the factory to watch movies.

"Of course." Xu Damao nodded, and said expectantly, "After watching the movie tonight, I'm going to accompany the factory leaders, namely our factory's Deputy Director Li and Secretary Yang."

"That's great! Maybe he can become a team leader someday." Lou Xiao'e knew her husband was quite capable; he could even eat and drink with the factory leaders now, and she admired him a little.

“Projectionists are always in high demand, I’m telling you,” Xu Damao said smugly.

"Alright, are you hungry? I'll make you breakfast." Lou Xiao'e rarely served Xu Damao like this.

"Go on, go on, boil two eggs to replenish your energy." Xu Damao didn't seem to be in good spirits; he was clearly overworked in some way.

"Just wait." Lou Xiao'e carried two bags of agricultural products to the kitchen to get busy.

Xu Damao lay on the bed like an old man, reminiscing about the exciting time he spent in the countryside showing movies and meeting a widow.

Lou Xiao'e was unaware that Xu Damao always had ambiguous relationships with local widows whenever he went to the countryside, and even stayed overnight at their homes.

While eating breakfast, Lou Xiao'e told Xu Damao about everything that had happened recently.

When Xu Damao heard that Wang Lin had extorted 800 yuan from Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu, he was slightly shocked. What impressed Xu Damao even more was that Yi Zhonghai and He Yuzhu did not retaliate, which was very unusual for them.

After lunch, Xu Damao hurriedly rode the factory's bicycle, carrying the movie projection equipment, back to the factory.

After all, the factory is showing the new movie "Ashima" today.

After washing the dishes, Lou Xiao'e went to the backyard to inform Wang Lin that the factory was showing a movie today.

When Wang Lin learned about this, he remembered that Qin Huairu was going to bring her cousin Qin Jingru into the city today for He Yuzhu to meet on a blind date. However, Xu Damao saw that Qin Jingru was pretty and got wicked ideas. He not only ruined the meeting but also intercepted the match halfway.

"Baby, Beibei, your brother is taking you to see a good show today, no, I mean a movie." Wang Lin went back into the house and started dressing the two mythical beasts.

Wearing little cotton pants and a little hat, oh my! Whose little cutie is this?

Wang Lin personally combed and braided the hair of the two mythical beasts, just like an old father.

After dressing up the two mythical beasts, Wang Lin also changed his clothes.

For lunch, the siblings just ate something simple, nothing fancy, just a family bucket meal with cola and soda.

After eating and drinking his fill, Wang Lin lay down and let his two mythical beasts digest their food. It's not advisable to exercise after a meal.

"Master, sign in." Wang Lin muttered to himself.

【叮咚！恭喜宿主签到获得麦香纯牛奶X240箱、巧克力牛奶X240箱、烧鸡X100支、幼儿园启蒙教育资料套装X1、真知味棒棒糖X10罐。】

The sign-in rewards seem a little less generous than those on weekends, but having milk is still pretty good. Wang Lin can replace the soda with milk to feed the two mythical beasts in the future.

"Take two boxes of wheat-flavored milk and one box of chocolate milk," Wang Lin muttered to himself.

Three simple yet unique boxes of milk appeared out of nowhere on the table. Wang Lin wasn't worried about the quality at all; since it was produced by the system, it had to be top-quality.

With practiced ease, Wang Lin inserted the straw and handed the wheat-flavored pure milk to Bao Bao and Bei Bei, while he drank the chocolate-flavored one himself.

"So sweet, so fragrant, bro, this is delicious." Wang Baobao fell in love with this milk after taking a sip.

"It's like wheat, and it's also milk, buddy, I want to drink it every day from now on." Wang Beibei came over and hugged Wang Lin, acting coquettishly.

Wang Beibei is bolder and more clever, while Wang Baobao is less daring and a bit shy.

"Brother has plenty of milk. You can drink it every day from now on, and I guarantee it will fatten you up nicely."

Wang Lin touched Wang Beibei's face. After feeding her for the past few days, her face had finally gained some weight, and her complexion was no longer the sallow yellow it used to be.

Wang Baobao fed the milk to the prince next to her. The prince sniffed it, looked disgusted, and walked away.

It's not that the prince doesn't drink milk, but he doesn't like this flavor; it's wheaty and too sweet.

Wang Lin took out a carton of chocolate-flavored milk and poured it into a clean bowl. Only then did the prince walk gracefully to the bowl and begin to drink the milk.

After digesting his food, Wang Lin told the prince to stay home and look after the house, while he took the two exquisite mythical beasts and went out.

Wang Lin locked the house with three locks: top, middle, and bottom. Even if someone wanted to steal something, they would have to think twice before trying to break these three locks.

Having not seen the deaf old woman for several days, Wang Lin was in a good mood. He carried the two mythical beasts out the back door and headed towards the Third Steel Rolling Mill.

The courtyard house is quite far from the Third Steel Rolling Mill. It's more convenient for those with bicycles, but those without have to walk every day.

On the way, Wang Lin also met Chen Amao, a child from the same courtyard!

Actually, there are several children in the courtyard who are similar to Banggeng, but most of them are not allowed to play with Banggeng in the courtyard. These parents know that if their sons are with Banggeng, they will definitely be ruined! So they would rather be strict and keep them at home and not let them have any contact with Banggeng.

Chen Amao's father became disabled due to an accident, and his mother supplemented the family income by doing odd jobs. Chen Amao was the youngest of three children, about the same age as Banggeng.

Seeing that Chen Amao was alone, Wang Lin called out, "Amao!"

Chen Amao turned around and saw Wang Lin holding his twin sister behind him. He took the initiative to greet him and said, "Brother Wang Lin."

"Have you had lunch yet?" Wang Lin had a good impression of Chen Amao. There might not be a character named Chen Amao in the TV series, but this place was different; this was a real, living world.

"I ate a little," Chen Amao said awkwardly, scratching the back of his head.

"Here's a meat bun for you! Sit with me at the movie tonight and look after my two younger sisters for me." Wang Lin put down the two mythical beasts and took out a meat bun from the paper bag in his arms, handing it to Chen Amao.

"This is a meat bun!" Chen Amao stared at the meat bun, swallowing hard, but he didn't reach out to take it. He restrained his desire and said, "Brother Wang Lin, just look after the baby and Beibei. It's nothing. You don't need to give me any."

Wang Lin smirked. Chen Amao could resist the temptation. In this day and age, it was hard to eat meat. Every penny had to be carefully calculated.

"Here, take it. How can you take care of my two divine beasts if you don't eat your fill?" Wang Lin stuffed the meat bun into Chen Amao's hand.

Feeling the warmth of the meat bun and smelling its tempting aroma, Chen Amao looked up and said with a silly grin, "Thank you, Brother Wang Lin. From now on, I, Chen Amao, will do anything for you, even if it means going through fire and water."

The words, which sound very much like the martial arts world, are definitely from comic books.

Wang Lin had the two sisters, Wang Baobao and Wang Beibei, lead him around while he chatted with Chen Amao for a while.

The road was relatively flat, and the snow had melted.

The Third Steel Rolling Mill has a large signboard hanging on it.

Wang Lin will be reporting to this factory next month, and he will become a proud worker!

Wang's mother used to be a factory worker, so there's a 90% chance that Wang Lin will be assigned to the factory. But Wang Lin plans to find an opportunity to change his career. He doesn't want to sit in an office every day, but at least he wants to be a purchasing agent.

King Lin of the Spirit Realm plans to start with the steel rolling mill. The position of purchasing agent is just right, as he doesn't need to be in the factory every day and only needs to complete the purchasing targets.

Purchasing staff benefits are neither good nor bad; sometimes their lives are in danger, especially when they are traveling with a convoy and encountering robberies. Therefore, large purchasing missions are usually accompanied by security guards who are armed and have considerable power.

Chen Amao, though young, pointed at the two women in front of him and said to Wang Lin, "Brother Wang Lin, look, isn't that Widow Qin from our courtyard? And she's with a little girl next to her!"

Wang Lin looked in the direction Chen Amao pointed, and sure enough, it was Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru. He patted Chen Amao on the shoulder and said, "Let's go see a play."

Chen Amao scratched his head. Wasn't this supposed to be a movie? How did it turn into a play?

In the factory yard, Xu Damao had already set up the movie screen and was adjusting the equipment.

Factory employees' families can watch movies for free, which can be considered one of their benefits.

During this period, quite a few people have already secured good spots.

When Banggeng saw Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru, he waved and shouted, "Mom, Auntie! Over here!"

Qin Huairu looked at Banggeng and her two younger sisters and said, "You all sit here, we'll go over there."

Five people can't even sit on one bench, so let's just take up another bench for two seats.

Upon seeing the familiar figure, Xu Damao, feigning superiority, stepped forward and said, "Who is it! You can't sit in this seat!"

Qin Huairu looked at Xu Damao, but she was not afraid and had no intention of getting up to change seats.

"Isn't this Sister Qin? Oh, who is this beautiful girl?" Xu Damao couldn't help but stop in his tracks when he saw Qin Jingru; she was so beautiful.

Qin Huairu rolled her eyes at Xu Damao and said irritably, "No matter how pretty she is, it has nothing to do with you, Xu Damao. She's my cousin, and I'm planning to introduce her to He Yuzhu."

"He Yuzhu?" Xu Damao said deliberately, "I don't think we have anyone like that in our factory!"

"He Yuzhu! Silly Zhu!" Qin Huairu knew that Xu Damao was doing it on purpose.

"Oh, it's Sha Zhu!" Xu Damao started to make a fuss, "Introducing such a pretty girl to Sha Zhu, Sister Qin, what were you thinking! A stupid cook."

"Sister...is what he said true?" Qin Jingru was a little scared when she heard that He Yuzhu had a bad reputation.

"Don't listen to his nonsense, those two are mortal enemies! It's on purpose. Sha Zhu is a very nice person, he cooks very well, earns thirty-seven yuan and fifty cents a month, and has no parents to support." Qin Huairu remained calm. With such good conditions as He Yuzhu, Qin Jingru couldn't possibly not be tempted. No one knows her sister better than her.

"Little girl! Alas!" Xu Damao sighed, as if lamenting Qin Jingru's impending tragic fate.
