Courtyard houses: Those who are capable are rewarded, and many children bring many blessings.

If a man saw this erotic scene, he'd surely get a nosebleed.

Xu Huizhen, her eyes blurry with drunkenness, glanced at Chen Xueru across from her and reached out her hand: "I remember we used to be about the same size, how come your tank top is so stretched out?"

Chen Xueru brushed aside Xu Huizhen's outstretched hand: "Hehe, I've also noticed that I seem to have gotten a bit bigger than before."

"You're not pregnant, are you?"

"No, my period just ended a couple of days ago. Look at my skin, isn't it much better than before?"

Xu Huizhen looked down again and suddenly giggled.

"What are you laughing at? Are you just jealous?"

"I thought letting Dazhuang do all that would have this effect, but it turns out you've just gained weight. Look at your waist now, it's all bent."

"Ugh, you don't have a waistline, do you?" Chen Xueru said, swaying her upper body a couple of times. "It's just bigger, aren't you jealous!"

"I'm not envious at all. A woman has to be pretty first. Fat women are much bigger than you, so why don't people like them?"

"I'm not bad looking either, and with this figure, your cousin will be head over heels for me."

Suddenly, there was a loud knocking on the door, and the two beautiful women immediately sobered up considerably.

Quickly grab the clothes and run into the house

"Huizhen, it's me, open the door."

As soon as they reached the door, they all stopped in their tracks upon hearing Dazhuang's voice.

"I'm calling you, go open the door!" she said, grabbing her clothes and walking back.

"Weren't you just advising me to be generous? Why are you jealous now?" Xu Huizhen had only slept with Niu Dazhuang once, so she wasn't that open yet. She put on her trousers first, and then put on a short-sleeved shirt.

Only then did he go to open the main gate.

Turning his head, he saw Chen Xueru sitting nonchalantly under the pergola. The door was only slightly ajar. Niu Dazhuang squeezed in and quickly closed the door again.

"Oh! Sister Chen is here too!"

"Hmph! How come you're calling her Sister Chen in front of Huizhen?" Chen Xueru said, looking displeased.

With no outsiders present, Niu Dazhuang took a stool and sat down next to her: "Why are you still angry? That kind of address can only be used in specific situations."

"I'm not angry about this. Did you come to my house before you came here?"

"I plan to go tonight. I came over at noon to ask my cousin for help." Seeing her expression, Niu Dazhuang quickly hid his true intention of coming to see Xu Huizhen.

"Ask Huizhen for help?"

"That's right. I got five tons of flour from the flour factory in Dongcheng, and I've already rented a warehouse. I'd like Huizhen to help me find a few people to transport the flour out."

"Your current job is pretty good for earning extra money, so why are you still thinking about dealing in grain?"

"Anyway, it's all connected. Who wouldn't take free money? You're dressed so scantily, aren't you afraid someone might suddenly show up?"

"Hmph! What am I afraid of? You haven't come for almost a month. It's perfect that a man is coming. I like the look of him, so I ran off with him."

"Hey, hey! You two shouldn't be showing off your love in front of a little widow like me, Xue Ru. Be careful, or I'll steal your man away."

Chen Xueru confidently said, "If you're so capable, then go ahead and steal it."

"I'm too ashamed to steal anymore; they don't even want me anymore. Dazhuang, why don't you stay home and wait, and I'll go find someone for you outside?"

"No rush, it's so hot. We can go find someone when it cools down in the afternoon." Niu Dazhuang unintentionally revealed the matter.

Then Niu Dazhuang's ear was pinched by Chen Xueru: "You tried to lie to me, do you think I'm that petty?"

Niu Dazhuang protested, "I didn't lie to you!"

"Just pretend I've had a few drinks and my brain's malfunctioning. It's true you asked Huizhen for help, but the timing is wrong! I won't stop you from going back to your ex, but you can't lie to me."

Now that he'd been exposed, Niu Dazhuang stopped pretending: "I just don't care about you, that's a white lie."

"You really are... *sobs*" Chen Xueru's outfit had already aroused Niu Dazhuang's desire. Now that things were out in the open, there was no need for politeness...

Xu Huizhen had never seen such a scene before, and quickly turned around to go back inside...

The scene was like this:

A wide river flows, its waves rippled, and the wind carries the fragrance of rice blossoms to both banks…

Beautiful mountains, beautiful water, beautiful place, and wide, spacious roads...

She's treated to good wine when friends come, but if wolves come, she'll be met with a hunting rifle...

On this warm land, the sun shines with peace everywhere.

He was so engrossed in his own world that he didn't realize it until Xiao Jingli woke up from her afternoon nap, rubbing her eyes as she came out of the room.

Crying and yelling at Niu Dazhuang, "Uncle, you're not allowed to bully Mom!"

This is awkward...

Xiao Jingli was born in 55, so in 57 she would be three years old (by the traditional Chinese age reckoning), and she's still easy to fool.

Xu Huizhen quickly left the battlefield, carrying Xiao Jingli back into the house.

The fighting was forced to stop.

"Hehe..." Chen Xueru laughed so hard she almost fell over when she saw Niu Dazhuang's embarrassed state.

Niu Dazhuang was already venting his anger, and now Chen Xueru became his prime target, though the location had changed to the large kang (heated brick bed) inside the house...

It wasn't until after 5 p.m. that Niu Dazhuang came out of the house wearing shorts and a tank top.

"Cousin, Xue Ru and I have agreed that Lin Yongmei will come over tomorrow to help you take care of the child."

"Oh, without someone to help me, I'm a bit overwhelmed. Go find Xu Yumei up front; she's familiar with those guys."

"Yes, I'll come again tonight!"

"Okay, I got it. Go get back to work! You're welcome to come anytime!"

After finding more than a dozen places to work, and renting a few flatbed trucks from the South Freight Yard, they transported the five tons of flour that Ye Chunlan had prepared to the newly assembled warehouse.

After giving someone fifty cents to send the dog away, Niu Dazhuang started experimenting with the new functions of his portable space while facing five tons of flour.

Previously, to store items in the space, you had to physically touch the items to see if the space had any new functions or evolutions, at the very least, a new function for storing items remotely.

After experimenting for a long time, my mouth was dry from all the talking, and I still had to touch it to get it to work. But I made a new discovery: although I couldn't store it remotely, I could store piles of flour together in the space as long as they were connected.

"This is a new discovery, I suppose," Niu Dazhuang consoled himself.

Today I finally have a weight lifted off my shoulders; I no longer need to worry about food supplies for the upcoming three years of hardship.

We will continue to collect some more, especially meat, but it's not so urgent anymore. If we can't collect pork, people won't starve.

There isn't enough food; people could starve to death.

Especially if you have quite a few women of your own, and they follow you without asking for anything in return, how can you not provide them with enough food?

Niu Dazhuang thought about it and realized that women nowadays actually have very simple requirements. As long as their mouths are fed, they will follow you wholeheartedly.

I put all five tons of flour into the warehouse, locked the door, and wasn't in a hurry to terminate the lease. What if I need it later? I've already paid the rent anyway.
