Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

Wang Feng stared blankly at Lu Banxia for a long time before finally uttering these words:

"You don't need to cook tonight. Come to my house for dinner later. I'll call you when the food is ready."

"become."

Lu Banxia nodded with a smile. She didn't stand on ceremony with Wang Feng. The reason she went to the steel rolling mill and moved to this courtyard was for Wang Feng.

Wang Feng saved her life twice, and she also had some feelings for him. She moved to the same courtyard as Wang Feng because she wanted to see what his wife looked like and why she rejected her.

Born into a capitalist family, she was not opposed to men having multiple wives and concubines, after all, she grew up in such a family.

Her mother was her father's concubine, but her father only had her as his daughter. In the end, the policy did not allow polygamy, but her father still chose to register his marriage with her mother.

She had figured it out last night. If she and Wang Feng were really not a good match, she planned to give Wang Feng some money, or have her Uncle Li use his connections to get Wang Feng promoted, as a way of repaying Wang Feng for saving her life twice.

Wang Feng left. With so many people around, it wasn't convenient for him to chat with Lu Banxia much. Anyway, Lu Banxia had already moved into the courtyard, so there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.

Just after Wang Feng left, the second aunt walked up to Lu Banxia and said with a fawning smile:

"Young lady, what's your name? Do you need any help? I'm the second aunt in the neighborhood. If you ever need anything, feel free to ask me for help."

Seeing this, the third aunt knew that Lu Banxia had an extraordinary background, and quickly stepped forward and said:

"Young lady, I'm the third auntie in the courtyard. My husband is a teacher. If you need any help in this courtyard, just tell the third auntie."

"Girl, there's me too. We don't have much else, but my son Erleng is very strong. If you ever need any lifting or carrying work in the yard, just come to me."

Seeing how enthusiastic these middle-aged women were, Lu Banxia smiled and nodded at them.

"Thank you, ladies and aunties. My name is Lu Banxia. I just started working at the steel rolling mill today. I'm the announcer for the mill. I hope you'll take good care of me in the yard from now on."

"Oh my, Banxia, ​​what a nice name! As soon as your third aunt heard this name, she knew your parents must be cultured people. They always come up with such a beautiful name." The third aunt said with a fawning smile.

When Lu Banxia heard the third aunt talking about her parents, her expression turned sour, and she suddenly felt a little sad. However, she didn't get angry at the third aunt, since the third aunt didn't know anything about her parents.

When Auntie Er saw Lu Banxia carrying a shopping basket, she smiled and said, "Banxia, ​​it's already past four o'clock. You're starting to cook a bit late. Come to Auntie Er's house for dinner tonight. Let me tell you, Auntie Er's scrambled eggs are delicious."

"Banxia, ​​come to my house for a meal. I still have half a pound of cured meat," said Erleng's mother.

The three of them chatted enthusiastically, which made Lu Banxia feel that everyone in the courtyard was quite nice.

"Thank you everyone. I know Wang Feng before; he's a friend of mine. He just told me that I'm going to his house for dinner tonight."

Seeing everyone fawning over Lu Banxia, ​​Madam Jia glared at Lu Banxia fiercely, then left without saying a word.

Seeing this, the older women stopped trying to persuade Lu Banxia to eat at their house. After all, their meals couldn't compare to Wang Feng's; the couple earned a combined 166 yuan a month.

The third aunt would never invite Lu Banxia to her house for dinner. What do they eat at home? Sweet potatoes every day. If she didn't get anything from Lu Banxia, ​​she would lose out on a meal.

Since they weren't going to eat, they could chat about everyday things. Soon, the older women started talking to Lu Banxia.

The three women sighed inwardly. If Jie Cheng hadn't already gotten married and things hadn't turned out this way, and Jie Fang wasn't even old enough yet, it would have been so nice to have Lu Banxia as her daughter-in-law! What a pity.

the other side.

When Wang Feng returned to the room, he was somewhat absent-minded. He didn't even realize that he had poured tea to the brim and kept pouring.

Seeing this, Qin Jingru quickly asked, "Brother Wang Feng, what's wrong? Why are you so distracted?"

Wang Feng put down the teapot, smiled and waved his hand: "It's nothing, it just feels too coincidental, something's not right."

"What's wrong?" Qin Jingru asked curiously.

"Hey, I know this new girl who moved in, and..."

Wang Feng rattled off a long story to Qin Jingru, like pouring out beans, and it took him several minutes to recount Lu Banxia's situation.

Upon hearing this, Qin Jingru also showed a look of shock.

"Brother Wang Feng, I don't think there's any way that coincides with such a thing. You just saved Lu Banxia yesterday. She was starving and had fainted in the bushes yesterday. Today, she's suddenly become the niece of a major general. A major general! How high a rank is that? I've never seen such a high-ranking official in my life."

"And another thing, even if it's just a coincidence that Lu Banxia is in trouble and was found by the major general's uncle yesterday, it's impossible for her to go to work at the steel mill. With her uncle's connections, she could easily find a job as a sales clerk at a supply and marketing cooperative, which would be more comfortable than working in the factory. The key point is that she even moved into our compound, which is even more strange. One or two things could be considered coincidences, but these are three things in total. Can this still be explained by coincidences?"

Seeing that Qin Jingru's analysis was so logical and insightful, Wang Feng gave her a thumbs up.

"Jingru, you're amazing! You've only been working at the factory for a few days, and you're already analyzing things so logically. Tell me, if this isn't a coincidence, then what is?"

Qin Jingru thought for a moment, then glanced at Wang Feng before saying, "I think she's definitely after your body, or maybe you are."

Just as Wang Feng was about to speak, Qin Jingru raised her hand to interrupt him.

"Brother Wang Feng, you're so handsome, and you've saved Lu Banxia twice. That's a life-saving grace. Don't they say that a life-saving grace should be repaid with one's body? If it were me, and Brother Wang Feng saved me twice, and you're so handsome, and you're also a section chief, then I'd like you too."

On the way back, Wang Feng had the same thought. After all, there couldn't be such a coincidence in the world. If it wasn't a coincidence, then Lu Banxia must have had a purpose in doing this.

As for the purpose, Wang Feng understood without needing to say it. However, Wang Feng was quite happy. After all, Lu Banxia was really beautiful, and she was already about the same age as Qin Jingru. If she passed his test in the future and drank a few kilograms of the Water of Life, how beautiful would she become? At least she wouldn't be worse than Qin Jingru.

"Brother Wang Feng, didn't you invite Lu Banxia to our house for dinner later? If Lu Banxia's character is acceptable, I suggest you take her in. She's a major general's niece, and she's so beautiful. Having another sister would be good for the Wang family to have more descendants."

"Also, Brother Wang Feng, my son's relatives and I come at the same time every month. I can see you're feeling quite uncomfortable. If you took Lu Banxia in, Brother Wang Feng wouldn't feel so uncomfortable."
