Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

Hearing that Qin Jingru was still worried about who would cook the reception meal, Wang Feng was speechless. When did Jingru become so responsible?

"Jingru, this is the steel mill's business. Why are you meddling so much? Do you really think the steel mill won't function without you? Besides, Li Huaide is so capable, finding a cook wouldn't be difficult for him."

"All right."

Qin Jingru didn't actually want to resign. She was so powerful at the steel rolling mill. She managed dozens of people and three canteens. Who would dare to disrespect her?

Moreover, if she quits her job, she won't be able to brag to her girlfriends when she goes back to Qin Family Village. This is what she's most reluctant to do, since her family is rich and she can't tell outsiders.

"Brother Wang Feng, you rest for a while, I'll go make breakfast right away."

"Go."

Qin Jingru went to the kitchen to make breakfast, while Wang Feng and Lu Banxia went to wash up.

For breakfast, Qin Jingru still made Wang Feng's favorite noodles, but since there was no fresh pork at home, she made egg noodles this time.

"Slurp."

Wang Feng took a bite of the noodles and realized that this was exactly the taste; it felt so good to be back home.

Although Aunt Li's noodles on Hong Kong Island are quite delicious, and she puts in more pork and mutton, they still can't compare to Qin Jingru's.

There are two main reasons: their noodles are made with top-quality white flour, and Qin Jingru's cooking skills are far superior to Aunt Li's.

Wang Feng ate his egg noodles in big mouthfuls and said, "Jingru, I brought back three pheasants and two rabbits. Later, take one of the pheasants or rabbits and ask Aunt Wu to help you kill them."

"Okay, Brother Wang Feng, I'll go find Aunt Wu after I finish breakfast."

"By the way, Jingru, have you experienced any dizziness or nausea during your pregnancy? Do you crave sour or spicy food? Is there anything you particularly want to eat? Tell me, and I'll try to get it for you," Wang Feng asked.

Qin Jingru thought for a moment and said, "For the first half of the month, I often felt nauseous and wanted to vomit, but I didn't feel dizzy, and I didn't have any particular cravings. My family is eating so well, what more could I ask for? But lately I've been craving sour things."

"By the way, Brother Wang Feng, didn't you learn traditional Chinese medicine? Can you take my pulse?"

"Okay, after you finish breakfast, I'll take your pulse."

Seeing how much Wang Feng cared for Sister Jingru, Lu Banxia felt an indescribable envy, but she wasn't jealous. She thought that when she became pregnant with Wang Feng's child, he would treat her just as well.

She just didn't know how to tell her Uncle Li and Aunt Li. She had been with Wang Feng for a while, but her stomach hadn't started to grow any pregnant.

But this is for the best. If she had gotten pregnant out of wedlock, she wouldn't know how to explain it to Uncle Li and Aunt Li.

She has to resolve this issue as soon as possible; otherwise, things will become even more complicated if she gets pregnant herself.

After breakfast, Lu Banxia brewed a pot of tea and brought it over. Wang Feng took a sip and said:

"Jingru, give me your hand."

"OK."

Qin Jingru smiled sweetly and extended her snow-white wrist.

Wang Feng placed his index finger on Qin Jingru's wrist to feel her strong pulse and vigorous blood circulation, which pleased him greatly.

Qin Jingru's body was in excellent condition, even unbelievably healthy. Her vital energy was so strong it was like that of a tiger, a pulse that no ordinary person should have. Fortunately, he had previously instructed Qin Jingru and her son not to go to the hospital, otherwise, if this matter were exposed, there was a possibility that someone with ill intentions would capture them and use them as guinea pigs.

Soon, he felt the pregnancy pulse. In his perception, the child was very healthy. However, he was still worried, so he activated his spiritual sense to examine the condition of the fetus. He quickly got the results.

As expected, the child was very healthy. After all, the child had his and Qin Jingru's genes, and Qin Jingru ate well, eating top-quality rice and flour every day, and basically eating meat every day. It would be strange if the child wasn't healthy.

"Jingru, you are in excellent health, and your baby is also very healthy, so you can rest assured."

"Um."

Hearing that she and her child were both very healthy, Qin Jingru was finally relieved.

Ever since her last visit to the traditional Chinese medicine doctor, when he gave her that strange look, she has never dared to see a doctor again.

"Brother Wang Feng, you're back so early. You probably didn't sleep well last night. Since it's still early, why don't you go and get some sleep? I'll take the pheasants and rabbits to Aunt Wu to help kill them. I'll call you when lunch is ready."

"Okay, go ahead."

"OK."

Qin Jingru smiled and agreed, then took a pheasant and a rabbit from the chicken coop and walked towards the front yard.

It drew envy from countless people along the way; this was meat, and so much meat at that.

However, Qin Jingru didn't care what they were thinking. This was prey that had been caught, and no one could say anything about it. After all, it was because their men were incompetent.

When she arrived at the front yard, she saw that Aunt Wu's door was open, and she called out as she walked towards Aunt Wu's house.

"Aunt Wu, Ya Ya, are you home?"

Upon hearing Qin Jingru's voice, Aunt Wu quickly brought Ya Ya out.

"Sister Jingru!"

As soon as Ya Ya saw Qin Jingru, she ran towards her and hugged Qin Jingru's long legs happily.

"Yaya, be careful. Sister Jingru is pregnant. You mustn't knock her down," Aunt Wu scolded.

Qin Jingru gently rubbed Ya Ya's head and smiled nonchalantly, "It's alright, Aunt Wu. Ya Ya is so small, how could she have bumped into me? Do you think I'm that fragile?"

As she spoke, she handed over the pheasant and rabbit in her hand: "Aunt Wu, could you please help me kill these pheasants and rabbits?"

"Okay, I'll bring it to you as soon as I'm done killing it."

Aunt Wu wasn't surprised. The news that Wang Feng had returned to the yard today with three pheasants and two rabbits had already spread far and wide.

"Yes, thank you for your hard work, Aunt Wu."

"Jingru, if anyone should be thanking someone, it's me and Yaya who should thank you and Wang Feng. If it weren't for you, Yaya and I wouldn't be able to survive," Aunt Wu said gratefully.

Qin Jingru smiled, declined the job, then gently patted Ya Ya's head and said with a smile:

"Yaya, you need to eat more meat and grow up quickly so you can protect Mommy when you grow up."

"Mmm, Sister Jingru, I want to eat lots of meat so I can grow tall and big soon. In the future, I want to protect Sister Jingru, Brother Wang Feng, and the little nephew in Sister Jingru's belly. Mom said that after Sister Jingru gives birth, I should protect him well."

Ya Ya clenched her little fists and spoke in a childish voice, but what she said made Qin Jingru extremely happy.

"Hehe, okay Yaya, from now on we'll all rely on you for protection."

"Aunt Wu, you go ahead with your work, I'll head back now."

"Okay, Wang Feng just got back, you should go back and spend more time with him."

Watching Qin Jingru's retreating figure, Aunt Wu wiped away her tears, deeply moved, and pulled Ya Ya back into the house.
