Courtyard Houses: Starting as a Purchasing Agent

Between the tomatoes and watermelon, there were also some peanuts and soybeans!

In addition to these, another twenty catties of wheat flour were placed on each side.

These things all come from Liu Aiguo's system.

It might not mean much to him, but for ordinary people these days, these gifts are already very valuable.

Of course, Liu Aiguo's gifts were definitely more than just these.

After all, it's my first time visiting my future mother-in-law's house, so I want to make a good impression.

Even if you don't leave a good impression, you still have to leave the impression of being a tycoon, right?

So Liu Aiguo put fifty eggs in each basket, making a total of one hundred.

They caught two more live chickens from the system, two big roosters, tied their feet with ropes, and hung them on the back of the bicycle.

After doing all this, Liu Aiguo found that Yu Li had finished eating and gone to the kitchen to tidy up.

Soon, the kitchen was spotless.

Liu Aiguo was very satisfied: This woman must be a good homemaker.

He is efficient and shrewd.

In this day and age, you really can't get by if you don't know how to calculate!

Liu Aiguo then took out a large, round watermelon and cut it open.

"Huh?" Yu Li asked curiously, "Where did this watermelon come from?"

At this time of year, watermelons are a luxury.

The people don't even have enough food to eat, so who will grow watermelons in the fields? Everyone else is growing grain.

Watermelons are only for offerings!

Yu Li had seen it before, but hadn't eaten it much.

Liu Aiguo said, "I got this in the countryside when I went shopping... Here, try it and see if it's sweet?"

"Hey……"

Yu Li took a piece and took a bite.

sizzle...

sweet!

cold!

through!

So cool!

Yu Li had only eaten watermelon a couple of times when she was very young.

"So sweet..."

"Then you should eat more!"

"Ok!"

Liu Aiguo simply brought over two spoons.

The two of them each had one watermelon and ate it by scooping it out.

cool!

The watermelon was finished very quickly.

These watermelons are quite large, each weighing over ten kilograms, and each person gets about seven or eight kilograms.

"One more?" Liu Aiguo suggested.

Yu Li said, "No, no, no... I'm too full, I won't be able to straighten my back later!"

"Alright... let's sit down and talk!"

Liu Aiguo sat down next to Yu Li and reached out to hold Yu Li's small hand.

This time, Yu Li did not refuse.

"Do you have any older or younger brothers in your family, or is it just you and your sister?" Liu Aiguo asked Yu Li.

Yu Li said, "I have a younger brother who is seventeen years old, two years younger than Haitang!"

"Oh……"

Yu Li asked, "And you... Brother Aiguo, don't you have anyone at home... not a single relative?"

"no!"

Liu Aiguo shook his head.

The two chatted for a while.

Yu Li suddenly stood up, her face flushed, and said, "Um... cough cough cough... I need to go to the restroom..."

"what?"

Liu Aiguo said, "Excuse me, excuse me... Well, the toilet is in the front yard. This is a public toilet; there are no private toilets here!"

Yu Li said, "I understand, it's the same in my hometown!"

Liu Aiguo pointed out the direction, and Yu Li hurriedly ran over.

Having just eaten half a watermelon, not only Yu Li, but even Liu Aiguo felt the urge to urinate.

But Liu Aiguo was alright; he could hold it in for a while.

About two minutes later.

Yu Li came running over from the front yard in a flurry of activity.

"What's wrong?" Liu Aiguo asked, "Didn't you find it?"

It shouldn't have been resolved in such a short time.

Yu Li, her face flushed with anxiety, said, "No... your restrooms are under renovation, and they won't let us in right now. They said it would be half an hour later..."

amount……

This is awkward!

There are no sewers or sewage pipes in the compound.

About once a week, sanitation workers from the street come and remove the garbage from the public toilet.

It takes at least half an hour to play.

But this won't have much of an impact, since everyone here has a house, and at worst they can just go back inside and find a chamber pot to relieve themselves.

But the problem is...

Yu Li is no good!

She is an outsider.

How could I possibly stay indoors like that!

"Um..." Liu Aiguo said, "How about... you wait a bit, it should be ready in about half an hour!"

"No way!" Yu Li said through gritted teeth, her face flushed, her small feet trembling. "I can't hold it in... You better find me somewhere!"

Liu Aiguo looked around and said, "Where is there any room? We don't have a chamber pot at home... How about I borrow one from Aunt Yi?"

"No way!" Yu Li said, "Then everyone will know!"

"Forehead……"

This is indeed difficult.

How to do?

I can't possibly put it in my washbasin.

Hey……

Liu Aiguo's gaze shifted and fell upon a potted plant he had recently purchased on the windowsill.

It's a cactus.

It's huge.

The pot below is big enough, and more importantly, it hasn't been watered in a long time.

So Liu Aiguo casually picked up the flowerpot and said, "How about... you use this?"

"you……"

Yu Li felt a chill run down her spine just looking at the cactus.

I'm not a man, what if I get pricked?

but……

I can't hold it in any longer.
