Courtyard House: My System - Artificial Human

The backyard of the silk shop.

Lin Weidong never came empty-handed, and he was always generous with his gifts, which made Chen Zhongjie and his wife not only gratified but also changed their opinion of him considerably.

I used to think he was a progressive young cadre, but now it seems that while he is progressive, he is not rigid or inflexible.

Xue Ru will not suffer if she follows him.

Rest time after meals.

As they talked, the topic turned to returning to their hometown.

I came up with this idea because I was worried about losing face, and I even found the excuse that my son was wasteful and my daughter-in-law was busy to convince myself.

Now that all their troubles have vanished, they truly feel a sense of returning to their roots, and the two reminisce about their youth with many emotions.

The next day, during breakfast, Lin Weidong heard his father-in-law, Chen Zhongjie, bring up the old matter again. After thinking about it, he did not object.

"Uncle Chen, if you really want to go home, then go back and visit. I have some connections in Jinling, so you can let me know if anything comes up."

……

Chen Zhongjie and his companion had made plans and were about to leave before even waiting until after the Lantern Festival.

A few days later, Lin Weidong rushed to the backyard of the silk shop after receiving the news. He saw that the two had already packed their bags and piled them in a corner. Chen Xueru had red eyes.

Chen's mother comforted her from the side.

"...We've already spent the Spring Festival with you two, so we should at least go back home on the fifteenth..."

On the other side, Chen Zhongjie took the cigarette from Lin Weidong and lit it, while also explaining his plans.

"Take advantage of the New Year holiday to go back and visit old relatives and friends. Otherwise, if we go back later, people will think that Old Chen has fallen on hard times... By the way, Xiao Lin, I've prepared Xue Ru's dowry. After things calm down and you two get married, your aunt and I will come up again! It's not like it's inconvenient!"

"That's true..."

The situation is now stable, and since liberation, the country has vigorously maintained railway construction, making transportation much safer and more convenient.

This was the first time Lin Weidong had taken leave since starting work.

After the meal, together with Chen Xueru, we took Mr. and Mrs. Chen Zhongjie to the train station.

After returning home, he began to make arrangements for convenience.

They arranged for the couple of clones they had previously acquired from Cai Quanwu to work at the silk shop.

Assisting Chen Xueru in running the silk shop was just a side effect; the main purpose was to give himself a fixed anchor point for communication, so he wouldn't have to travel in the dark.

Seeing that Chen Xueru was in a bad mood, Lin Weidong slept at the silk shop for two nights in a row.

This was the first time Chen Xueru had ever been separated from her parents, and she felt quite helpless. She wished she could stay by Lin Weidong's side 24 hours a day to feel safe.

I can spend time with her at night, but I have to go to work during the day.

Lin Weidong simply arranged for her to spend time with Tian Zao in advance.

In a contemporary society where old ideas have not yet been eradicated, Chen Xueru was not angry at all when she heard that she had sisters; instead, she breathed a sigh of relief.

With her parents back in their hometown and no outsiders around, she's been quite unrestrained these past two days. Plus, Lin Weidong has a lot of tricks up his sleeve, so she's really experiencing both pain and pleasure, and she's almost been shaken to pieces!

Even if Lin Weidong didn't look for her, she was already planning to find a helper.

She didn't want to die young before she could enjoy her good days...

Although it's not time for school to start yet, Tian Zao has been very busy lately.

Fearing she would be bored at home, Lin Weidong gave her the pastry shop that the system had previously rewarded him with to keep her entertained.

On the surface, she is a pastry shop assistant, but in reality, she has to run the business. Tian Zao experiences both pain and joy.

She didn't take Lin Weidong's joke seriously. After all, it was part of her family's business, so how could she not manage it properly?

Upon hearing that Chen Xueru was running a silk shop at such a young age, Tian Zao was filled with admiration and quickly sought her advice.

Lin Weidong's original casual arrangement has now become an opportunity for the two to get along amicably.

He felt a little smug.

However, this was not entirely due to his own methods. The influence of his old ideas and the assistance of the system also enabled him to allow the three people, including Bai Ling, to get to know each other and get along.

Normally, his brain would be completely ruptured by now.

Thinking of the system, Lin Weidong couldn't help but glance at the upgrade progress bar in the status bar. It was already 83% complete, almost there.

Ultimately, this is the foundation of his livelihood!

Lin Weidong was filled with anticipation as he left the pastry shop to confront Bai Ling.

He was planning... a threesome on the night of the Lantern Festival.

……

In a secluded courtyard in a hutong not far from the municipal bureau.

When Bai Ling returned from her night shift, she noticed that the aroma of food wafting through the yard was slightly stronger than usual, and she already had a guess in her mind.

She asked Yan Qishan's wife, who had opened the door.

"Your Brother Lin is here?"

"Yes, I'm waiting for you inside. Sister-in-law, you go wash up first, and I'll go bring the dishes."

Bai Ling pushed her bicycle to the corner and went into the house. When she saw Lin Weidong lounging in a recliner like an old man, a smile appeared in her eyes.

"Hey! Section Chief Bai's been pretty busy lately?"

Bai Ling was already immune to his teasing. She took off her scarf and gloves and went to the washbasin stand to wash up while responding.

"You can't help but worry during the Lunar New Year. The streets look lively, but they're actually quite chaotic. I don't know when it will end."

This situation is likely to continue for several more years.

Lin Weidong responded in his mind. After Bai Ling wiped the cold air off her face with a hot towel, he pulled her into his arms and carried her to the recliner, giving her instructions on the surface.

"Don't charge into danger on the streets like you used to."

"Don't worry, I'm basically an office worker now, I don't go on many missions, it's just the training work that's a headache."

"What do you mean? You're being disobedient?"

Bai Ling nestled in his arms, rubbing against him contentedly, her mind relaxed, her tone lazy yet slightly sticky.

"No way...it just feels like they're a bit slow and not as smart as our Zao'er."

Lin Weidong laughed out loud.

How can you compare them? You two have both been transformed by the beauty pills, so your thinking is naturally much more agile than that of ordinary people.

The curtain was lifted.

Yan Qishan's wife brought in a plate to set the table, and Bai Ling composed herself and immediately got up to help.

Although Lin Weidong had told her beforehand that he was one of their own, she still felt that it was impolite and unbecoming of her status.

Bai Ling helped set the ten large bowls on the round table and looked at the exquisite dishes.

Even though she had seen dinners of this scale several times since moving to her own courtyard, Bai Ling still couldn't help but sigh at how extravagant it was.

She turned around and shook Lin Weidong, who was leisurely smoking on the recliner, and teased him.

"Master Lin! Your meal is served!"

"Sure thing! Let me have a taste first." Lin Weidong stood up and pinched her increasingly fair and tender cheeks.

Instead of getting a pleasant aroma, I received a mild but ineffective elbow strike to the chest.

"You're acting like you're sick... Hurry up and eat!"

Yan Qishan's wife was still busy pouring wine at the dinner table. Bai Ling was too embarrassed to be intimate, so she withdrew her hand, tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, and pushed Lin Weidong toward the dinner table.

Lin Weidong disagreed, believing that Bai Ling had a certain amount of repressed flirtatious tendencies.

In the bedroom at night, this conclusion was confirmed once again.
