Courtyard House: My Long and Hard Body Makes Me Play with All the Women in the Courtyard

After Su Ting drove out of the East Gate, the road conditions became very bad.

Liu Dazhuang held onto the car door with one hand and led the way with the other.

The section of this road leading to the towns below is still a dirt road, and it becomes very difficult to travel on rainy days due to numerous potholes.

At this time, the car seats were all hard seats, and the ride was very bumpy.

Su Ting dared not drive fast at all, otherwise his head would hit the roof of the car.

Pedestrians along the way, every few hundred meters, would look at Su Ting's car with surprise and envy.

Most of them were pulling handcarts or carrying bamboo baskets; not a single bicycle was seen.

As Su Ting drove by, he kicked up clouds of dust.

Although he had tried to stay as far away from pedestrians as possible and slowed down, the sandstorm outside the city was too strong.

However, these people seem to have gotten used to it and don't care.

They simply watched the vehicle drive away, without even covering their mouths and noses.

Su Ting did not stop to give them a ride, which was also out of caution.

In this day and age, strangers can be a potential danger.

Before Su Ting traveled through time, his grandfather had told him that back then, many people impersonated police officers.

He could just grab a police hat, put it on, and carry a pistol on his waist, and then he'd dare to stop big trucks on the road.

If you are stopped, you have to obediently pay up.

You won't give it to them? They won't be polite. Back then, it wasn't just about robbing a few dollars.

Those robbers at least had some sense of propriety; they wouldn't take all the victims' money, but would leave some for them to eat.

As long as you honestly hand over the money to them, they generally won't harm you; they'll take the money and leave.

The bumpy road conditions made it difficult for the two to even chat.

About half an hour after leaving the city, Su Ting saw a person.

Xu Damao was struggling to ride his bicycle, which was carrying two large wooden boxes.

Su Ting didn't have any particular opinion about Xu Damao; he knew Xu Damao was a real scoundrel.

In contrast, he preferred to befriend Xu Damao.

In order to earn some emotional points, Su Ting deliberately followed closely behind Xu Damao without overtaking him.

Chapter Twenty-Three: An Unexpected Encounter with Xu Damao

Upon hearing the car, Xu Damao, who was ahead, moved his bicycle closer to the side of the road, clearly wanting to make way for the car behind him.

However, after two minutes, the car behind still didn't move, which made Xu Damao quite angry.

You see, the roadside was full of stones, making it even more difficult for him to ride his bicycle.

"Emotional value from Xu Damao +2"

Hey! Su Ting saw his best buddy give him a two-dollar tip.

The feeling of relief instantly dispelled much of the unpleasantness from the bumpy ride.

I originally planned to honk the horn to tease him, but I was worried that it would scare Xu Damao, who was carrying the projector, and make him fall off.

Xu Damao's car contained a precious projector; if it were to break, Xu Damao would be in real trouble.

So Su Ting rolled down the car window, craned his neck, and shouted, "Brother Da Mao, stop the car! Look behind us!"

As soon as Xu Damao heard someone calling him from behind, he quickly and steadily stopped his bicycle.

Su Ting also pulled the car over to the side of the road and got out with Liu Dazhuang.

Xu Damao stopped his bicycle and saw that Su Ting was one of the two people walking from behind.

Looking at the cars parked on the side of the road, he immediately exclaimed in surprise.

"Hey bro, what are you doing here? And driving a car too, wow! Let me take a good look at this car."

He then walked over to Su Ting and carefully examined the car. Su Ting smiled and replied.

"Brother Da Mao, I'm a purchasing agent, I'm out buying some things with the guys in my department today."

I can drive, and the factory was considerate enough to let me drive out to make purchases. What a coincidence, I ran into you on the road.

After listening, Xu Damao clicked his tongue repeatedly, not believing any of that nonsense about the factory being considerate of its workers.

This car is a brand new model that was just released this year, and they don't have many of them in their factory.

It seems that Su Ting's factory has a very powerful network of connections!

Su Ting briefly introduced Xu Damao and Liu Dazhuang to each other.

They learned that Xu Damao's destination was one of the villages that Su Ting and his group were going to purchase goods from.

Since it's such a coincidence, there's nothing more to say.

They stuffed the bicycle into the trunk, moved Su Ting's cloth bag from the back seat to under the seat, and then placed Xu Damao's projector on the back seat.

This four-seater car is just the right size for two suitcases and one person.

Actually, Su Ting's bag contained nothing; it was just a cover-up.

Liu Dazhuang sensibly sat in the back row, leaving the front row seat for Xu Damao.

Xu Damao was so happy that he kept praising them, and he handed out one cigarette after another to everyone without feeling any remorse.

It's clear that Xu Damao is quite adept at socializing.

Xu Damao's emotional value +8

Sitting in the passenger seat, Xu Damao said excitedly, "I'm so lucky today, I actually ran into the two of you."

You wouldn't believe how grueling it is to ride a bicycle on this stretch of road; you can easily fall if you're not careful.

I'm fine, but if the projector breaks, that would be a huge problem. Not only would I not be able to complete the task, but I'd also get a scolding when I get back.

Su Ting chuckled and replied, "You're talking nonsense! I don't even have a bicycle myself!"

I'm so envious watching you ride your bicycle to and from get off work every day.

Upon hearing this, Xu Damao waved his hand repeatedly and said, "Alright, alright, isn't driving a car much more comfortable than my old bicycle?"

As for bicycles, what's that to you? It's not a problem at all; you just don't want to buy one.

Brother Su, do you think I don't know your capabilities? Brother Dazhuang, don't you agree?

When Liu Dazhuang, who was sitting in the back row, heard Xu Damao ask him, he quickly nodded in agreement.

And so, the three of them chatted animatedly all the way and successfully arrived at Xu Damao's destination.

After politely declining Xu Damao's invitation to have dinner together, they saw Xu Damao off and drove towards Liu Dazhuang's village.

Led by Liu Dazhuang, we arrived at a small village at the foot of the mountain, which appeared to have about a hundred households.

It was just lunchtime, and wisps of smoke were rising from every household's chimney.

When the children at the village entrance saw the car enter the village, they all ran and played around it.

In those days, even bicycles were a rare sight in the village, let alone cars.

This startled Su Ting, who quickly slowed down, fearing that hitting the child would be a huge problem.

Fortunately, Liu Dazhuang, a local, was there, and the children all recognized him.

Liu Dazhuang rolled down the car window, stuck his head out, and shouted a few times at the children, who then ran away.

Standing at a distance, I watched curiously as the car slowly drove into the village.

At that moment, many villagers were sitting by the roadside chatting. When they saw Liu Dazhuang returning by car, they all stood up to greet him and ask about his situation.

They all looked on with envy when they heard that the steel rolling mill had come to purchase supplies.

After all, working in a steel rolling mill means becoming a city dweller, which is much better than working hard in the village for a year.

Qin Jingru once said that her whole family envied Qin Huairu for being able to marry into the city.

She herself did everything she could to marry into the city and become a city dweller.

Following Liu Dazhuang's directions, Su Ting drove to a house at the north end of the village, which was Liu Dazhuang's home.

On the way, Liu Dazhuang had already given a general overview of his family's situation.

He has two older brothers and two younger sisters. His two older brothers are already married and still live with their father.

They each have a child; the older one is just over a year old, and the younger one is only a few months old.

My two younger sisters are sixteen and seventeen years old, respectively.

After graduating from junior high school, I didn't continue my studies and now I stay at home helping with chores.

From the outside, his house appears to be a three-room house, but the courtyard is quite spacious.

Several smaller houses were added on both sides of the courtyard.

As soon as Liu Dazhuang got out of the car, he immediately pushed open the gate and shouted loudly.
