Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

Qin Jingru didn't chat with Wang Feng much. After washing up, she went to knead dough.

Now that Lu Banxia has become her sister, she can't completely trust Lu Banxia, ​​and cooking for her every day is quite troublesome.

Her family always eats the finest rice and the finest white flour. If they used regular white flour, she would have to eat seven or eight white flour buns in one meal. Brother Wang Feng is even more outrageous; he eats twelve in one meal.

Around 7 a.m., Qin Jingru finished steaming the buns and said with a smile, "Brother Wang Feng, the buns are ready. I'll go and take them to Banxia."

"Okay, go ahead."

Qin Jingru smiled slightly, took three white steamed buns from the steamer, put them in a bowl, opened the door, and walked towards the backyard.

Along the way, they encountered many people from the courtyard. When they saw Qin Jingru eating white flour steamed buns so early in the morning, they were so envious that their eyes turned red.

Moreover, seeing Qin Jingru carrying white steamed buns to the backyard, it was clear that Qin Jingru must have been delivering them to Lu Banxia.

Everyone in the courtyard now knows that Lu Banxia and Wang Feng knew each other before, so it makes sense that Qin Jingru brought breakfast to Lu Banxia.

After all, Qin Jingru and Wang Feng's combined salaries amounted to more than 160 yuan. In this year, they could afford to eat white flour buns, or even meat every day.

Upon arriving at Lu Banxia's house, Qin Jingru knocked on the door.

"Knock knock knock".

"Banxia, ​​it's me, Jingru. I've brought you breakfast."

Lu Banxia was startled awake from her sweet dream by a knock on the door, and then she heard Qin Jingru's voice. Despite her discomfort, she got up, went to the door, and opened it.

Qin Jingru walked into the room, closed the door, looked at Lu Banxia's flushed face, and teased her with a smile:

"Banxia, ​​isn't my Wang Feng amazing? Does it hurt a lot when you walk now?"

When Jingru teased her, Lu Banxia blushed and said something she didn't mean, "It doesn't hurt, I'm perfectly fine, Brother Feng made me feel very comfortable."

"Giggle, giggle."

Qin Jingru covered her mouth and chuckled, "Banxia, ​​look at you, you're walking like this now, what are you pretending for?"

As she spoke, Qin Jingru whispered in Lu Banxia's ear, "Banxia, ​​it's normal to feel pain now that you've just lost your virginity. It will get better in a few days, and then you'll feel really comfortable."

Qin Jingru has been with Wang Feng for so long now, and Wang Feng has so many tricks up his sleeve. She also often hangs out with Lou Xiao'e, and now she's not shy at all when it comes to telling dirty jokes. Anyway, they've become sisters, and who knows, they might even end up sleeping in the same bed in the future.

Upon hearing this, Lu Banxia's pretty face instantly turned bright red, even her ears turned red. She stomped her little foot shyly and said angrily, "Oh, Sister Jingru, you're so mean, I'm not talking to you anymore."

Lu Banxia, ​​a newbie, is no match for Qin Jingru. Don't forget, she has Liu Lan, that big mouth, chatting with her all day long in the kitchen. What do they talk about all day? Just a bunch of random nonsense.

Qin Jingru knew that Lu Banxia was shy at first, so she smiled and waved her hand, "Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. You should eat breakfast. You're not feeling well right now, so I'll wash the sheets for you later."

Lu Banxia quickly refused, "No need, I don't need to wash the sheets."

"Huh? No need to wash?"

For some unknown reason, Qin Jingru quickly went to the bedside, lifted the quilt, and was surprised to find no bloodstains. She immediately showed an angry expression.

If Lu Banxia weren't a virtuous woman who hadn't experienced love, she would never have agreed to her being with Brother Wang Feng.

"Banxia, ​​why didn't you bleed? Could it be that you...?"

Before Qin Jingru could finish speaking, Lu Banxia interrupted her, hurriedly explaining:

"Sister Jingru, what nonsense are you talking about? Brother Feng is my first man, you won't believe me, just look."

As she spoke, Lu Banxia quickly took out a wooden box from the cabinet and took out a white handkerchief from inside the box. The red roses on it looked very fresh.

Upon seeing the red roses, Qin Jingru nodded in sudden realization, her anger vanishing. She then smiled and teased, "..."

"Banxia, ​​it seems you were well-prepared. You even brought a handkerchief. Tell me, were you thinking about last night all along?"

Lu Banxia carefully placed the handkerchief into the wooden box, and without denying it, said directly, "I was prepared a long time ago. I like Brother Feng, and Sister Jingru, you don't object to us being together. What's wrong with me fighting for my own happiness?"

Qin Jingru nodded in agreement: "Yes, you made the best choice. You'll understand later. Okay, go eat your breakfast. I'll go to the factory later to find Sister Hongyan and ask her to help you ask for two days off."

After saying that, Qin Jingru opened the door and went out. She hadn't had breakfast yet, so she couldn't stay there chatting for too long, or her steamed buns would get cold.

"Thank you, Sister Jingru."

Qin Jingru returned to the house and saw that Wang Feng was already eating. She sat down, picked up a steamed bun, and started eating.

"Brother Wang Feng, I won't be home for lunch. Banxia should be able to cook for herself, right?"

Wang Feng finished a steamed bun in a few bites, then said speechlessly, "Jingru, can you stop treating me like a child? When you first came to our compound, didn't you still cook for me on your second day and do the housework just the same?"

"Hehe, that's true."

"I was just thinking that Banxia has just lost her virginity and isn't feeling well, so as her older sister, I should take extra care of her," Qin Jingru said with a smile.

"Brother Wang Feng, now that Banxia is living in the courtyard, how are we going to eat? We can't just cook and bring her food every time, that would be too much trouble. Besides, with so many people watching, it's easy to attract envy. Also, we eat the best quality rice and flour, while she just eats ordinary rice and flour."

Wang Feng thought about it and realized that it was indeed somewhat inconvenient.

"How about this, when Banxia is more available in a couple of days, let her come to our house for meals. Tell others that she pays our food expenses every month, so from now on, Banxia can also eat our high-quality rice and flour."

The rice and flour just taste a bit better. To be frank with Lu Banxia, ​​this rice and flour was bought on the black market, and there were only a few dozen kilograms of it. She probably wouldn't suspect anything. Even if she did, she could just blame the rice and flour on the black market.

Qin Jingru thought for a moment and said, "That would be fine, but we often go to Courtyard No. 28, so we can't bring Banxia to eat there too."

Without even thinking, Wang Feng shook his head and refused.

"Not yet. We need to get to know Banxia better and trust her completely before we can take her to Courtyard No. 28. When we go to Courtyard No. 28, she will have to cook for herself. Let's arrange it like this for now."

"Um."
