Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

The Intermediate People's Court, the Wang family.

At the dinner table, Qin Jingru served Wang Feng a bowl of rice and then served Lu Banxia half a bowl of rice, smiling as she said:

"Brother Wang Feng, just now when Aunt Wu and I came back from the factory, Auntie San saw Aunt Wu enter the steel rolling mill and asked me if I was the one who helped Aunt Wu. When we went back to the yard, a lot of people saw us. I guess Aunt Wu's house must be surrounded by people right now."

Wang Feng smiled indifferently: "Why should I care about them? So what if they know I helped Aunt Wu? Before my father passed away, Aunt Wu's family was the only one in the neighborhood who helped me. Now that my family is doing well, do you think they can expect me to help them?"

Qin Jingru nodded in agreement: "Brother Wang Feng, don't worry. I've asked Aunt Wu to tell everyone that she bought the workstation with all her savings. These aunties and grandmas in the courtyard shouldn't bother us."

Lu Banxia ate a piece of chicken and said with a smile, "Brother Feng, our courtyard is really strange. There are all kinds of people here. I just bought a new bicycle yesterday, and Qin Huairu said that next Sunday is her mother's birthday and she wants to borrow my bicycle to go back to the countryside to celebrate her mother's birthday. Oh, and she even did my laundry."

Upon hearing this, Qin Jingru frowned: "Banxia, ​​you didn't agree to lend your bicycle to Qin Huairu, did you?"

Lu Banxia rolled her eyes: "Sister Jingru, do you think I'm stupid? I was fooled by Qin Huairu once before, do you think I'd fall for it a second time?"

Qin Jingru chuckled: "Banxia, ​​it's a good thing you didn't lend your bicycle to Qin Huairu. Let me tell you, Qin Huairu's mother is my aunt. Her mother's birthday is still a long way off, it's not until June this year. She's obviously lying to you."

Lu Banxia's eyes widened: "Sister Jingru, why did Qin Huairu lend me her bicycle?"

"What else could she do but go back to our village to show off? Oh, and when she left, she probably took a few of her parents' old hens with her. Now my aunt's family has a few old hens that have grown up. Qin Huairu must be thinking of taking advantage of her parents' home, but she doesn't want to spend money on transportation and she wants to show off in the village, so she thought of borrowing your new bicycle. This is really killing three birds with one stone." Qin Jingru said speechlessly.

Upon hearing this, Lu Banxia shook her head speechlessly.

"Qin Huairu is too scheming. When I first moved here, she made me breakfast and cleaned my house. I thought she was a nice person. I never expected her to be like this."

Qin Jingru waved her hand: "Banxia, ​​let me tell you, from now on, no matter what Qin Huairu asks you to do, you just need to refuse."

"Um."

The three chatted and ate, with Qin Jingru mostly teaching Lu Banxia, ​​and Wang Feng occasionally chiming in. The meal took half an hour.

After finishing her meal, Qin Jingru brewed a pot of tea for Wang Feng and then said to Lu Banxia:

"Banxia, ​​we usually take a bath every two days. We already took a bath yesterday, so today we'll just wash Wang Feng's feet. Come with me, we'll go get the water."

"Um."

Lu Banxia agreed without hesitation. However, she was becoming increasingly curious about Wang Feng. What kind of family did Wang Feng come from? Why did he need someone to serve him even when he was taking a bath and washing his feet?

Even she, who comes from a capitalist family, and her parents, don't have nannies or anything to help them bathe or wash their feet.

She had heard her aunt mention this custom before; it was usually found in large families or noble families in ancient times.

However, she had only been with Wang Feng for a few days, so she wouldn't be foolish enough to ask such sensitive questions.

Anyway, she was certain that Wang Feng was not as simple as he seemed on the surface. Otherwise, in this year's climate, how could Wang Feng eat such a lot of meat and fish every day? Sister Jingru said that Wang Feng was good at hunting, but even the best hunter couldn't catch prey every day. Besides, Wang Feng didn't go hunting in the mountains often.

There were also top-grade rice and flour, and even the tea they drank was top-grade. These were all rare and precious items. She couldn't believe that an ordinary deputy head of the purchasing department could produce such things.

Let alone an ordinary deputy section chief, even her Uncle Li, a major general, or even Mu Hongyan's grandfather, a general, couldn't produce such a rare treasure.

Now, in her mind, she already regards Wang Feng as the young master of a reclusive family. She guesses that Wang Feng went to work at the steel mill just to pass the time.

Under Qin Jingru's guidance, Lu Banxia quickly prepared hot water and brought the foot bath to the room.

"Brother Wang Feng, go sit on the bed. Let Banxia wash your feet today. If she doesn't do it well, I'll teach her."

"Um,"

Wang Feng nodded and went back to his room to sit on the bed.

He would never refuse if they offered to bathe or wash his feet for him. Such services would be unthinkable in later generations; you'd be lucky if you didn't wash your wife's feet.

Anyway, he's the one who enjoys this kind of thing, so he's not going to be stupid enough to say no.

Lu Banxia's hands were very soft and smooth, and Wang Feng felt very comfortable as she stroked his instep with her small hands.

Qin Jingru watched intently as Lu Banxia washed Wang Feng's feet.

Wang Feng secretly sighed, thinking how lucky he was to have married Qin Jingru. Not only did she know how to serve others, but she also taught Lou Xiao'e how to serve him, and now she's teaching Lu Banxia. He was so pleased with himself.

After washing her feet, Qin Jingru smiled and asked, "Brother Wang Feng, how was it? Did it feel good?"

Wang Feng smiled with satisfaction: "Very good."

"That's fine then."

Qin Jingru asked Lu Banxia to pour out the foot bath water. They each filled a basin with water and washed their feet. Then the three of them went to bed.

Now that Qin Jingru is visiting, only Lu Banxia is left to bear the brunt of Wang Feng's anger.

Lu Banxia didn't drink the Water of Life either, and Wang Feng didn't dare to use a savage charge, for fear of hurting Lu Banxia, ​​which made him feel somewhat uneasy.

However, having Lu Banxia was better than not having her. He had been holding back for days at a time, as his libido was incredibly high, and even holding back for a day was unbearable. Lu Banxia had just solved his urgent problem.

After battling Lu Banxia for over an hour, Lu Banxia couldn't hold on any longer, and the three of them finally fell into a deep sleep.

......

Two o'clock in the morning.

Wang Feng opened his eyes, glanced at Qin Jingru and Lu Banxia, ​​and seeing that the two were sleeping soundly, Wang Feng got up quietly, went to the living room to put on his clothes, put on a hood, changed into a pair of oversized shoes, opened the door, and went out.

He scanned the courtyard with his spiritual sense and, seeing that there was no one around, flipped over and jumped over the wall.

After taking out his bicycle, Wang Feng headed towards Zhengyangmen East Street.

Who is this Mr. Chen? He dared to be a traitor and caused Lou Bancheng and Tan Yali to be arrested. Now that we know where he is, he will definitely not let him go.
