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

Su Wan was quite satisfied with Niu Dazhuang's answer; he hadn't considered divorcing his wife just because Bai Hongyan had a good family background. This was very important!

While Su Wan was saying all that, Niu Dazhuang's hands were still busy behind her back...

"Ugh! You ambushed me..."

Su Wan's anger was almost extinguished, but Niu Dazhuang managed to reignite it...

It rained for three days outside, and the two of them shamelessly messed around in the cave for three days.

The sun was shining brightly outside, so Su Wan couldn't leave even if she wanted to. She was truly exhausted this time.

With dark circles under his eyes, and after resting for another day, it wasn't until the morning of the fifth day that Niu Dazhuang helped Su Wan out of the cave.

Standing halfway up the mountain, Su Wan looked out as if from another world. After crossing the hillside she had come from, she saw that the original road had been washed away, and Niu Dazhuang's bicycle, which he had left by the roadside, had also been swept away.

"Alright, let's walk back. Sister Su, could you get me a bicycle ticket?"

"I'll just give you a new one, why do you need a bicycle ticket?"

"No, that makes me sound like I'm a kept man."

"Have you been eating less of your 'soft rice' these past few days?" It's hard to learn good things, but it's easy to learn bad ones. Su Wan's driving is quite smooth now.

"You're my savior, really. If I hadn't met you, I might have been swept away by the flood. I wonder how Hongyan and the others are doing?"

"It should be fine. I must say, our commander-in-chief is quite capable. All the tents for each unit have been arranged on the hillside."

"I'm not worried about that. I'm worried about whether they have enough food. The roads are all washed away; carts can't even get up there to transport food!"

Niu Dazhuang pointed to the sky: "There are so many people here, the country certainly won't ignore us. If the car can't get on, there are helicopters! Let's go, let's mind our own business and avoid causing trouble, that's our contribution to the country."

The two of them walked for almost an hour along a mountain path that was five or six miles long, their steps uneven and deep.

It's not that Niu Dazhuang walks slowly, it's that Su Wan walks awkwardly, so it would be abnormal for her to walk fast.

Since the two of them didn't have any letters of introduction and couldn't stay at a guesthouse, they had no choice but to take the bus back to the city.

Once inside the venue, Su Wan deliberately kept a certain distance from Niu Dazhuang; dreams always come to an end.

Once on the bus, the two sat together again. Not long after leaving the county, Su Wan fell asleep with her head resting on Niu Dazhuang's shoulder.

Su Wan has had a great time these past few days; she could say she's never had as much fun in all her years of marriage as she has.

But my body couldn't take it anymore; that emotional thing was too crazy, it was not only physically exhausting but also mentally draining.

Su Wan slept soundly the whole way, and in her deep sleep, she subconsciously wrapped her arms around Niu Dazhuang's waist.

At work, she's a vice president; at home, she's a mother of two, though she doesn't raise the children herself. But she's still a woman, and she needs nourishment too!

After a two-hour drive, the bus arrived at its final stop, outside Deshengmen.

Niu Dazhuang gently patted Su Wan's back: "We've arrived!"

"Oh! So fast!" she said, half-closing her eyes, tidying her hair, and pausing for a moment.

Let's go!

After the two left the station, Niu Dazhuang hailed a pedicab, and Su Wan, knowing her physical condition, did not refuse.

"Master, Dongsi." They're taking Niu Dazhuang home for a visit!

This was Niu Dazhuang's first time entering a tenement building.

Well! It's even more lively than a tenement courtyard. The stairwell is filled with all sorts of odds and ends, and you can hear children crying and old people soothing children.

"Su Wan, you're not at work today?"

"Su Wan, weren't you sent to the countryside?"

"Su Wan, who is that young man behind you?"

They were really welcoming; they were all acquaintances.

Su Wan nodded and greeted everyone in turn. When she reached the end of the corridor, she took out her key and opened a room on the sunny side.

The stay-at-home moms have a new topic of conversation today: everyone is guessing who the young man Su Wan brought home today is.

After entering

"Please sit down, I'll boil some water for you."

Niu Dazhuang was curiously looking around the room. The first impression was that there were many books. Two walls were lined with tall bookshelves, which were filled with books.

By the window was a writing desk, which was also covered with books. To the east of the writing desk was a door, which should lead to the bedroom.

There was a corner cabinet on the west side, with a radio covered with red silk. On the middle shelf was a tea tray characteristic of this era, with a teapot and four cups on it.

The bottom shelf is still filled with books... On the wall near the entrance, there's a large picture frame. Below the frame is a long cabinet.

There was a chair and a stool. Apart from a photo of the two of them in a frame, there was no other trace of the male homeowner living in the room.

Su Wan went outside, replaced a piece of red coal with a piece of coal, put it in her stove, weighed it down with three or five more pieces of coal, placed the kettle on it, and then went inside.

"Please make yourself at home. The hot water will take a while to boil."

Niu Dazhuang didn't sit down: "Can I go see your bedroom?"

"You can look, but you can't have any thoughts about it. I really can't!"

As Niu Dazhuang spoke, he walked towards the bedroom: "Not letting me do anything, and not even letting me think about it? You're really meddling!"

Once inside the bedroom, Niu Dazhuang suddenly turned around and pulled the woman into his arms. He was somewhat infatuated with this stunningly beautiful young woman.

Women in their thirties are in their prime. Although Chen Xueru and others are beautiful, they lack that mature, womanly charm... including Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu is only 25 years old this year, while Chen Xueru and Xu Huizhen are a year or two younger than her.

Time may be a cruel butcher's knife, but without the sedimentation of time, something lacks its true flavor.

"Please... I'm begging you, the neighbors might come over in a minute. This house isn't soundproof!"

"I just wanted to hold you like this, I didn't intend to do anything else, it's you who had this idea!"

"I miss you so much! My bones are aching all over, even going to the toilet is a struggle! Let me rest for a few days before I can spend time with you, okay?"

"Hehe, that's exactly what I wanted to hear. I'm actually worried you won't give it to me again!"

"My little darling, you've made me so miserable, how can I possibly go back? What difference does it make whether it happens once or many times? The consequences will be the same if people find out anyway."

I must warn you, at work you can't get special treatment, and you absolutely cannot do anything inappropriate in public. I won't give you any special consideration either.

Niu Dazhuang whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, I'll be the same person I always was. What are we going to say at work tomorrow?"

"To tell you the truth!"

"Really? I'll have to think carefully about how to say it."

"What's there to think about?"

"Ah, weren't you just afraid people would find out about our relationship? How come you've changed your mind so quickly!" Niu Dazhuang pretended to be stupid.

"Are you deliberately trying to annoy me? I told you we hid in the cave for a few days. Are you going to reveal everything that happened in the cave now?!"
