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

It's possible that girls have narrow shoulders, long necks, and upright postures, making them appear taller and with longer legs compared to boys who are around 1.7 meters tall.

A height of 1.7 meters is considered good for a boy nowadays, as many people are now around 1.6 meters tall.

A man who is 1.7 meters tall is considered to be quite tall even in northern China.

Unlike in the future, after the new century, many people in the north are over 1.8 meters tall.

When Yang Dalin was in high school in 2007, in an ordinary class, boys who were over 1.8 meters tall could fill the last three rows of seats.

As the post-2000s or post-95s generations grow up, there will be more boys over 1.8 meters tall in the north.

Yang Dalin's nephews are all that height.

By the time he was fifteen or sixteen, he was almost 1.8 meters tall.

Their nutrition is so good, much better than that of the post-80s generation.

There's nothing we can do about it.

Yang Dalin greeted He Yushui.

I leaned against the kitchen doorway and chatted with the silly couple.

Yang Dalin asked Shazhu, "Brother Zhu, why didn't you think of getting your wife a job in the factory kitchen?"

Hasn't the drought passed?

Your factory should be hiring again by now, right?

Sha Zhu glanced at Mi Ya's belly, his face slightly red, and said, "Well, no rush. He Dan is still young. Let's wait until he's a little older."

In addition, the factory has just resumed normal production, and the hiring of new employees has not yet been finalized.

Yang Dalin keenly noticed Sha Zhu's blushing face and his eyes.

Just now at home, Miya was sitting there the whole time, and Yang Dalin didn't notice.

Yang Dalin now knows.

Miya's sister-in-law's belly seems to be getting a little bigger again.

It seems this is another fatal blow from Sha Zhu.

Is Miya pregnant again?

Sha Zhu's physique is pretty good.

Yang Dalin pretended not to know, afraid that Sister-in-law Miya would be embarrassed, and said, "Brother Zhuzi, you should keep this in mind."

As soon as the cafeteria opened up slots, I immediately registered my sister-in-law.

You can bring He Dan to the factory then.

It's not like you can't bring your child into the factory kitchen.

Little guy, you can teach him cooking skills from a young age.

In the future, let him inherit your mantle.

When your family has a second or third child in the future, your sister-in-law will have holidays and subsidies to receive.

My advice is that this matter should be addressed sooner rather than later.

"Okay, brother, I got it."

I'll listen to you on this.

"Go back and sit down. I'll cook a few dishes and be there soon."

.........

At the dinner table, Sha Zhu thanked Yang Dalin for thinking of his sister's job.

Sha Zhu had originally hoped that his younger sister could get into university.

He would support them even if it meant selling everything he owned.

Miya also supports this.

Fortunately, He Yushui was self-aware.

If you can't even get into a vocational school and can only go to high school, then your chances of getting into university in the future are very slim.

I should graduate and start working as soon as possible to earn money and help ease my brother's burden.

Otherwise, if I really get accepted into university, my brother and sister-in-law will definitely have a hard time.

Yang Dalin didn't mention that the wind would pick up later, but told Yushui to focus on her studies and they would see how things went in her senior year of high school.

He Yushui's year of high school turned into three years of high school.

She just finished her first semester of high school this year.

If you have the opportunity to go to university, go; if you don't have the opportunity to finish high school, just wait for job assignment.

If the allocation is not ideal, Yang Dalin will find a solution.

Sha Zhu toasted Yang Dalin three times for his sister's sake.

Yang Dalin then asked Sha Zhu, "Brother Zhu, how's Xu Damao doing lately?"

Sha Zhu sighed, "This kid's been doing well lately. You know, he was pretty depressed for a while after he divorced his wife."

He changed later and became more down-to-earth and hardworking.

They pay a lot of attention to their performance.

Their superiors then rescinded his punishment.

During your business trip this autumn, he brought back a girl, but for some reason it didn't work out.

I heard this guy is thinking of finding someone in the countryside recently.

I've heard I've seen quite a few.

"Oh, I see. He went to the countryside again today?"

"Yes, it seems like they went there again."

They've been gone for two or three days; they should be back soon.

Yang Dalin thought that was perfect, he would have a good talk with Xu Damao later.

After talking about Xu Damao, only Ma San, Sha Zhu, and Yang Dalin remained at the dinner table.

He Yushui took Mili and Miya took He Dan to sleep first.

Yang Dalin thought of Yi Zhonghai and asked Sha Zhu, "Brother Zhu, how are things between you and Yi Zhonghai lately? Has he not thought about adopting a child yet?"

Sha Zhu had already learned about Yi Zhonghai's scheme from Yang Dalin.

He gave a disdainful laugh and said, "I think he's about to give up. After Dongxu left, he did come to see me all the time, whether he had something to say or not."

I even asked Aunt Yi to help me look after my child whenever she had free time.

But he really is just like you said, he never makes it clear.

If he really brings it up directly, his parents could help me take care of He Dan and Mi Li or something.

It wouldn't be a bad idea for me to take care of them in their old age.

But he always hides things from me and doesn't say them outright. I don't like this kind of tactic.

He didn't speak, and neither did I.

He seems disheartened lately.

I think he's probably thinking about adopting a child since the food shortage is almost over.

"Okay, that works too. As long as he doesn't cause trouble for you or me, he can do whatever he wants. We won't interfere."

They drank until after nine o'clock in the evening, by which time most of the people in the courtyard had gone to sleep.

Yang Dalin and Ma Sancai said their goodbyes and left.

Ma San went back to his little house.

When Yang Dalin returned home, Aunt Qi was indeed still awake.

"Dalinzi, you're not drunk, are you? Don't want to throw up, right?"

"Don't worry, Auntie, I know my limits when it comes to drinking. I won't drink myself to the point of throwing up."

Go and rest, Auntie. I'm fine.

I washed my feet and went to bed.

"Okay, there's a thermos and cold water in your room, all prepared by Yanhua for you."

"You're off tomorrow, so sleep in a bit."

"Okay, I understand, Auntie, you can go to sleep now."

After washing his feet, Yang Dalin lay down on the warm kang (a heated brick bed).

After thinking about it, I wondered what I should do for the next three days.

I'm going to visit Qi Desheng and Brother Tian's house tomorrow.

Go and take a look at my new home.

While we're at it, let's also visit Grandpa Wang and Grandma Wang.

Then he would spend the day hanging out with his group of cronies from the compound.

However, they're about to go on holiday, so it's better for the younger brothers of the compound to go later.

I do need to visit Minister Teng and Minister Duan's homes.

They've already invited us.

You need to go and familiarize yourself with the place.

Send over a few bottles of tiger bone wine.

This time, I acquired a lot of Bengal tigers in the East Baba sheep region and India, as well as a lot of tiger bones and tiger penises.

This time I can make more medicinal wine.

There's still quite a bit of wine in the cellar of my new house.

However, I can ask the minister to help me get more wine.

If you want to make wine, do you need a large courtyard where you can store the infused liquor?

Wouldn't this speed up the process of rewarding myself with a large yard?
