The Life of a Son-in-Law in a Courtyard House

It took several months from when they first met to when they started dating, and after spending several more months together, Yang Dalin was heading towards marriage.

But she wouldn't let him know where she lived at all.

Because every time I try to take someone home, they refuse to let me go even though I'm still far away at the entrance of their residential complex.

Yang Dalin suggested visiting her family, but they wouldn't allow him to see them.

So Yang Dalin realized his mistake in time and stopped licking her boots.

Otherwise, they might just become complete sycophants who lose even more money.

The kind of licking until you have nothing left.

They have no intention of getting married at all; they just want some gifts and some money.

Yang Dalin was glad he had realized his mistake quickly and gave a self-deprecating laugh.

That woman's mother was probably just born at that time.

I don't want to think about unhappy things anymore.

Yang Dalin continued to doze off.

After a while, it was Tian Ge's turn to drive.

Yang Dalin had driven this route from Chang'an to Qinzhou several times in his previous life.

He knew the first half of the road would be easy to drive on, as it was all flat, but it would become difficult after Chencang.

That area is all mountain roads.

There aren't that many tunnels now, so I imagine the latter half of the road will be very difficult to drive.

It's better to switch to yourself later.

We drove to Chencang at noon. It seems that a research institute for bomber research was built near Chencang a few years ago.

Yang Dalin only learned about this from watching a period drama in his previous life.

This area is located in the Midwest, a mountainous region with limited arable land, making it easy to maintain secrecy.

Unfortunately, they also experienced many difficult days.

If things are this tough here, you can imagine how much more difficult it must be for the researchers who sent the parts to us, who are located even further west.

Things might get even tougher.

My system space isn't a farming space, otherwise I could secretly donate more food and meat to them and make more contributions.

When it was lunchtime, everyone ate at a state-run restaurant in the county town.

This state-run restaurant here didn't have enough food to cook for these people.

We ended up eating at several different places.

Goodness, is it really that difficult for state-run restaurants here?

They can't even cook for a few dozen people.

Captain Jing was a little anxious. He had originally planned to make sure everyone had a good lunch and buy more food so that everyone could have a proper meal in the evening.

As a result, a state-run restaurant in a county town couldn't even provide meals for a few dozen people.

How are we supposed to buy the food everyone needs for tonight?

Tian Xueyi took notice of the difficulties people faced in getting food.

He quietly asked Yang Dalin, "Dalinzi, the further west we go, the more difficult it might become. I've been here before; there's little land and a lack of water, so grain yields are even lower. It might be even harder for us to buy grain later on."

Further on, after leaving Chencang and approaching Qinzhou, there are continuous mountains. At that time, could you go into the mountains to hunt some game?

Let's replenish everyone's food supplies.

Otherwise, we might have trouble even getting food later on.

Yang Dalin had traveled this route several times in his previous life, so he naturally knew the terrain behind it.

There is a Longshan Mountain between Chencang and Qinzhou.

As long as there are mountains, I can pretend to go in and if I find prey, I can bring some back. If I don't find any, I can take out some prey that I hunted before from my spatial storage and pretend that I hunted it myself.

Otherwise, if you say you hunted a group of wild boars or wild goats or other prey on the plains, people would believe you.

We haven't even left the Guanzhong Plain yet.

We estimate we'll enter the Longshan area this afternoon, and we'll probably have to camp in the mountains again tonight.

That way, Yang Dalin would have a chance to hunt some prey.

Yang Dalin nodded: "Sure, Brother Tian."

Only when there is water, trees, and grass in the mountains, and the forests are large enough, can there be prey.

"That mountain is quite large, stretching for who knows how many miles."

"We used to have to drive for hours just to get out of the mountain roads."

"Then there's no problem, there should be prey."

"Alright, since you're confident, I'll go and talk to Captain Wang and Captain Jing, otherwise everyone will be unsure."

"We can't buy food; even dinner will be a problem."

Yang Dalin nodded, and Tian Xueyi went to find Captain Wang and Captain Jing.

It seems that Brother Tian doesn't care about other small things, but he is very concerned about the overall mission and the survival of his teammates.

When the chubby boy Yuan Qiao saw that Tian Xueyi, who was next to Yang Dalin, had left, he ran to Yang Dalin's side.

He took a yellow steamed bun out of his pocket and handed it to Yang Dalin: "Boss, here, have some. I saw you didn't eat much earlier, don't go hungry."

Yang Dalin felt quite pleased looking at his filial younger brother.

I didn't eat much at the restaurant, but I'll secretly make up for it with meat later.

Did he really think Yang Dalin would go hungry?

He has a lot of good stuff hidden in his space, but it's just inconvenient to take it out.

He would treat himself to something whenever he had the chance.

I definitely won't let myself go hungry.

The chubby boy didn't know, but he was willing to go hungry to save a steamed bun for Yang Dalin, which showed his good intentions.

Yang Dalin said, "Thank you, Fatty. I'm your older brother, but I'm younger than you and I don't expend as much energy as you. You should keep it for yourself."

You're at the age where you can eat a lot.

The chubby boy deliberately patted his belly: "Boss, look, I have a lot of fat, but I don't eat much, so it's no problem."

I'm already twenty, I'm not growing anymore.

Those who are accomplished are teachers, regardless of age.

You're my boss, so just eat what I tell you to eat.

You can still grow taller.

Yang Dalin was forced to eat a yellow steamed bun by the chubby boy.

The chubby boy is so good to me, I have to treat him to a big meal tonight.

Let him have an empty stomach and eat more meat tonight.

Yang Dalin remembered this kindness.

The chubby boy was probably afraid that Yang Dalin would give him more, so after stuffing the yellow steamed bun into Yang Dalin's hand, he hid to the side.

Other colleagues witnessed the chubby boy's actions.

Some people would try to give Yang Dalin half a piece of bread or a whole steamed bun or flatbread.

It was because Yang Dalin treated them to mutton and fish.

They all felt that they were elders and had to give young Yang Dalin some food.

You reap what you sow.

They are all people who know how to be grateful.

Yang Dalin hurriedly and hastily refused, as each of these dozens of people was giving him half a steamed bun, which was quite a lot.

Fortunately, Brother Tian arrived with Captain Jing and Captain Wang.

Seeing the commotion around Yang Dalin, Captain Jing inquired about the situation and said, "Everyone is acting out of kindness and taking care of each other; it's a good thing."

Although Dalinzi is young, he can't eat that much. Let's take turns eating.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to finish it, and it would be a waste.

After Captain Jing spoke, everyone realized that this was a good idea.

They planned to save some food supplies and distribute them to Yang Dalin in batches.

Captain Jing pulled him aside and asked, "We're camping in the mountains tonight. Can you go up and get some food?"

Yang Dalin nodded: "No problem, Captain Jing."

My master told me that the mountain is very big, and we should be able to find something there. It shouldn't be a problem to feed our group.

"Okay, that's good. I feel much more at ease now."

We'll be driving for a bit, and I'll arrange for another car to follow you closely. You can speed up and increase the distance between you and us.

Let the second car act as a guide for us; you can go ahead first.

Find a campsite in advance and have Mr. Tian and the people in the car watch over the vehicle while preparing for the campsite.

Try to get into the mountains before dark, hunt some game, and come out as soon as possible.
