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

As long as Qin Huairu can be controlled, spending a little money is a small matter; Jia Zhangshi is entirely relying on Qin Huairu.

The grandmother and grandson seem to be in the same boat and of one mind, but they each have their own ulterior motives.

Jia Zhangshi thought that no third person would know what she and Bang Geng had done.

At Wang Lin's home, Wang Lin watched the entire process of Jia Zhangshi and Bang Geng in his smart, high-tech room. This real-time monitoring was incredibly powerful, allowing him to spy on other people's shady dealings.

After watching the live monitoring, Wang Lin shouted, "Xiao Ai, if anything like this happens again, record it all and save it. Such precious memories!"

Xiao Ai: "Saved! The owner can access the video at any time."

Wang Lin left the room. The two mythical beasts inside had already finished eating their noodles and drinking the soup. Although it wasn't instant noodles, the knife-cut noodles, combined with Wang Lin's exclusive secret recipe, still tasted pretty good.

After eating and drinking her fill, Wang Baobao consciously took her books to the table and began to carefully browse through the early childhood education books.

Wang Beibei is much more playful; she's currently holding the prince, lost in thought and seemingly oblivious.

Wang Lin was sorting through the belongings left by his mother, which consisted of an iron box containing several black-and-white photos and some certificates, including a certificate issued by the Third Steel Rolling Mill. With this certificate, Wang Lin could go to the mill to apply for a replacement position and become a proud worker.

Having just finished organizing, Wang Lin planned to take all the important items into his personal spirit world so he could experience what it's like to be a farmer.

There are two ways to enter the portable spirit world: one is through consciousness, like a divine sense, and the other is through direct physical entry.

The two mythical beasts at home were studying and playing obediently, so Wang Lin didn't have to worry about them. After locking the door and giving the two beasts some instructions, Wang Lin carried a bunch of seeds back to his room and entered his personal spirit world.

At this moment, the spirit world was exactly the same as before, devoid of life, with no crops growing on the land.

[Farm seeds detected. Want to plant with one click?]

The prompt box popped up in front of Wang Lin again.

Wang Lin shouted, "One-click planting!"

All the seeds in Wang Lin's arms disappeared, splitting into many different kinds and turning into virtual patterns.

A shovel, pulled by an invisible force, began to turn the soil and bury the seeds.

A countdown began to appear on the black soil before us: 72 hours.

Wheat takes three days to ripen in a single batch.

On another piece of black soil, a countdown has begun: 48 hours.

Pears ripen one day faster than wheat.

Wang Lin can't see the yield now, he only knows the ripening time, and he estimates that he will only know how good the harvest will be when it's ripe.

Wang Lin could wait two or three days.

After inspecting the black soil where he had planted crops, Wang Lin returned to the waterfall. He cupped his hands and drank a couple of mouthfuls of the water. The water was fragrant and sweet, refreshing and invigorating, improving his mental strength, memory, and physical health.

Arriving at the wooden house courtyard, Wang Lin pushed open the gate of "Taoyuanju" and walked towards the wooden house.

The cabin was very simple, with only a wooden bed and nothing else.

Wang Lin placed the belongings left by his mother on the wooden bed.

Before leaving the cabin, Wang Lin specially brought back two bottles of water in a cola bottle for his two mythical beasts at home to drink.

This waterfall water is definitely no ordinary thing. If these two divine beasts drink it from a young age, maybe in a year they'll be able to punch and kick the silly pillar! They'll intimidate a bunch of beasts.

Back in his room, Wang Lin took two bottles of water out. The two mythical beasts weren't fighting; they were quietly absorbed in the joy of learning, listening intently to the fables. They didn't even notice Wang Lin approaching.

Wang Lin spent time with his two younger sisters watching animated fables. Although life was simple, it was warm and fulfilling. Unlike later generations where everything was either 996 or 007!

Chapter 47 Wang Lin's birthday, Qin Huairu comes to celebrate.

The end of the month arrived quickly, and the items Wang Lin signed in with every day piled up in the system warehouse. The items were diverse, ranging from food and drinks to various skill cards, as well as some special items.

Today is Wang Lin's eighteenth birthday! It's also the first day of a turning point in his life.

When Wang Lin got up in the morning, he made a point of dressing up and looked at himself in the full-length mirror in his room. The handsome young man in the mirror was no less attractive than the rich second generation.

"Master, signing in."

After tidying himself up, Wang Lin began to sign in.

[Ding! System check-in successful! The system wishes the host a happy birthday! Rewards doubled!]

“恭喜宿主获得二十四寸水果蛋糕一份、超能世界念力超能X1、魅力提升卡X1、全语言精通卡X1、鲱鱼罐头X10箱、伏特加X10瓶、茅台酒X10瓶、牡丹烟X10条、中华X10条。”

"Master! These sign-in rewards are a bit underwhelming!" Wang Lin looked at the rewards. Apart from the telekinetic superpower from the superpower world, which was a legendary gold reward, the other rewards were either cigarettes or alcohol. These were the kind of gifts you'd normally give.

"The host's sign-in reward will be issued immediately, and the system reserves the right of final interpretation," the system replied coldly.

Wang Lin figured he was going to give gifts to the Third Steel Rolling Mill tomorrow anyway, so he decided to give them peony, Moutai, and vodka.

Peony cigarettes were considered official cigarettes, and those who smoked them were people of status. There was a saying that circulated in those days: "High-ranking cadres smoke Peony, mid-level cadres smoke Fragrant Hills, workers, peasants and soldiers smoke 23 cents a pack (referring to Beihai brand, 23 cents a pack), and rural cadres happily roll their own cigarettes."

A pack of Zhonghua cigarettes costs 65 cents and comes with a filter; it's considered a luxury item among high-end goods.

Wang Lin stepped out of the room; he still had to make breakfast for his two hungry beasts.

While cooking, Wang Lin suddenly realized that it was his birthday today, and the system check-in only showed a big cake, with no other food available.

On a birthday celebration, shouldn't the system serve up a grand feast with eighteen main dishes?

Unfortunately, there is nothing.

Boiled eggs and milk for breakfast – only Wang Lin would dare to be so extravagant. He had no shortage of money or tickets, so he was particularly luxurious when it came to food and drink.

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a knock on the door early in the morning.

Wang Lin went to open the door and saw that it was Chen Amao.

Chen Amao's face was red from the cold wind outside. He congratulated Wang Lin and said, "I wish Brother Wang Lin many happy returns of the day."

Wang Lin chuckled and stepped aside, saying, "Come in."

When Chen Amao entered Wang Lin's house, he didn't dare to sit on the high-end sofa, for fear of getting it dirty.

Wang Lin gave Chen Amao two boiled eggs and a milk, and said, "Sit wherever you like, don't be shy."

Chen Amao took the things and sat shyly in a corner of the sofa, trying not to touch the soft sofa cushions.

Seeing Chen Amao, a boy of about half a year, acting shy like a little girl, Wang Lin couldn't help but tease him, "What's wrong? Does that sofa bite? Sit up more like a man."

After Wang Lin said that, Chen Amao immediately sat up straight and stopped acting like a pretentious little girl.

Wang Lin knew perfectly well why Chen Amao was so reserved; it was all because of poverty and a lack of courage. He was very reserved even in other people's homes.

Chen Amao looked at the boiled egg in his hand, but he didn't immediately peel it and eat it.

Wang Lin saw through Chen Amao's thoughts, patted Chen Amao on the shoulder and said, "Eat without worry. Your brother Wang Lin has already taken off. It's only right that I pay you for hiring you to take care of my two divine beasts. Don't feel guilty."

Chen Amao shook his head and said, "Brother Wang Lin, I've had a good meal here, but my parents, older brother, and older sister are still worried about their next meal. I want to take these eggs back with me to give them some extra nutrition."

During his time with Wang Lin, Chen Amao learned a lot. He felt that Brother Wang Lin was the most cultured person, no wonder he was doing so well and never had to worry about food, drink or clothing.

In response to Chen Amao's words, Wang Lin patted Chen Amao on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Then let's exchange it for labor. I won't lack food or drink. Just help me clean the house, and I'll give you ten eggs as payment when you leave, how about that?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Amao exclaimed and stood up, "Ten eggs! That's way too many!"

Wang Baobao and Wang Beibei looked at Chen Amao with surprise. They were already used to it. Recently, Wang Lin always brought back a lot of eggs, more than they could eat.

"What's so surprising? Sit down and talk." Wang Lin gestured for Chen Amao to sit down. Anyway, he could now raise livestock in his personal spirit world space. The eggs laid by the hens were automatically stored in the wooden warehouse in the spirit world, kept fresh and preserved. The fresher they were when stored, the fresher they would be when taken out. There was no need to worry about them spoiling.

"Brother Wang Lin, can I really earn ten eggs by working?" Chen Amao seemed to be living in a dream; this was too much.

The value of ten eggs was far too high, completely disproportionate to his effort.

"Ah Mao! Let me put it this way, my future achievements won't be confined to this small courtyard house, but will span the entire world! Do you understand?"

Wang Lin liked Chen Amao. He was polite, sensible, wouldn't take what wasn't his, didn't gossip, and was humble and not arrogant. Wang Lin was sure that he would grow bigger and stronger in the future, so he needed to cultivate some confidants. Chen Amao had caught his eye recently.

"I understand! If Brother Wang Lin asks me to go through fire and water, I, Chen Amao, wouldn't be a man if I even flinch!" Chen Amao also began to express his loyalty.

"Study hard! Knowledge changes the world. As long as you master physics and chemistry, you can go anywhere in the world without fear." Wang Lin patted Chen Amao on the shoulder.

"Physical chemistry?" Chen Amao looked completely bewildered; he still didn't know what biology, physics, or chemistry were.

Wang Lin wasn't in a hurry to explain, and instead had Chen Amao begin to accompany the two mythical beasts in their studies.

During this period, Wang Lin signed up for a large number of books, covering elementary, middle, high school, and university levels. These included novels and comics, which helped him pass the time during his boring days.

The amount of supplies signed in was large, and the system thoughtfully arranged for two time-traveling characters to deliver them to his door. Invoices, certificates, and everything else were complete, making all of Wang Lin's supplies seem reasonable and legitimate.

During this period, the people in the courtyard began to openly and secretly curry favor with Wang Lin. Whenever Wang Lin went out, they would greet him warmly and even do things for him, hoping that Wang Lin would give them some reward.

After He Yushui settled her work, she learned about this incident. Besides envy, she felt more jealousy and pessimism. She thought that Wang Lin and his friends would eventually part ways, and once they returned abroad, who would send him gifts? In time, Wang Lin would be reduced to his original state.

Jia Zhangshi and Banggeng were extremely envious of the supplies! The two of them, grandmother and grandson, had come to scout the place several times, planning to pull off a big heist and empty Wang Lin's house as soon as he left with his two divine beasts, leaving him with nothing but the northwest wind.

During this time, Qin Huairu visited Wang Lin's home under the pretext that he was a man who couldn't clean the house or take care of a girl, but Wang Lin refused to let her in every time. Wang Lin knew exactly what Qin Huairu was up to and would never let her succeed.

Each time Qin Huairu failed, she was not discouraged; instead, she became increasingly shameless.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Brother Wang Lin! I heard it's your birthday today! I specially made two dishes to have a drink with you."

Sure enough, Qin Huairu came to the door again. This time, she put some thought into her excuse, knowing that it was Wang Lin's birthday today.

Chapter 48: Transforming into a Zu'an Local and Raging Attack on Qin Huairu

Wang Lin frowned when he heard Qin Huairu's voice. Qin Huairu was becoming more and more shameless. Knowing that Wang Lin had a lot of supplies, she always found a new excuse to come to his door.

Chen Amao was studying on his own when he heard Qin Huairu's voice outside. The precocious young man said, "Brother Wang Lin, you're the only one in our compound who can do this. All the other men stare at this widow Qin with wide eyes, but you're the only one who doesn't do anything inappropriate."

Wang Lin put down his novel, rolled his eyes at Chen Amao, and said irritably, "That phrase is 'sitting with a woman in your lap without being tempted,' and it's used to mock men who aren't manly. Don't use it carelessly. Your brother is very manly, but I'm not interested in Widow Qin."

“That’s true. Widow Qin is not young anymore, so naturally Brother Wang Lin isn’t interested in her.” Chen Amao, this half-grown boy, already knows quite a bit and knows that he will be getting married and starting a family in a few years.

"Read your book! If you fail the test later, you'll be punished with push-ups." Wang Lin continued reading, ignoring everything else.

Is Qinhuai fragrant?

Smells good, my foot!

She's a mother of three; I don't know how the guys in other parallel universes of courtyard houses could bring themselves to do that.

Wang Linke doesn't have any special fetishes. He has requirements for his wife; not just any woman can catch his eye.
