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

After hearing his two daughters' answers, Mr. Liu nodded, then poured a large bowl of hot water to wash the bowl he had used to make soy milk.

After finishing his drink, he greeted Su Ting and then rode his bicycle out.

He is the village chief, and he and the production team leader are responsible for leading many things in the village, so his daily tasks are very heavy.

Although the ditches are nearing completion, leveling the fields is still a major undertaking.

Moreover, winter is approaching, so we need to get everyone to gather more firewood, otherwise things will get tough in winter.

After cleaning up the dishes, the two sisters got into Su Ting's car and set off for the town.

Today happened to be market day, and earlier, when Liu's father went out, he gave each of the two sisters two yuan.

They wanted to take Su Ting to the market to sample the local delicacies.

Upon hearing that they were going to the market, Su Ting immediately became interested.

Looking back, I remember in my previous life, when I was a child, I would go with my mother to sell two old hens so that we could go to the market with the money we earned.

This scene is deeply etched in his memory.

After much deliberation, Mr. Liu finally took out four yuan and gave it to the two sisters.

Su Ting was not a country bumpkin; he couldn't pretend not to know that people always brought so many things with them.

He actually hoped that the two sisters could take Su Ting and have fun at the market.

Let him feel the sincerity of his family, and that they are not just stingy people who only care about saving money.

The two sisters were in high spirits in the car, and once again Liu Mu took the passenger seat.

This frustrated Liu Zhao in the back row, as she lost the game of rock-paper-scissors once again.

However, the thought of being able to treat Su Ting to a meal with his own money immediately cheered Liu Zhao up.

After arriving in the town, Su Ting parked his car in a suitable spot.

The streets and alleys were packed with people. Wouldn't it be foolish to drive in? Besides, how can you really experience a market without getting out and walking around?

The two sisters, one on the left and one on the right, accompanied Su Ting.

Every now and then, I would pull him to stop in front of various stalls to admire the dazzling array of goods on display.

Actually, there's not much to see; they're just some farm tools and handmade trinkets.

For example, straw dusters and willow baskets were all made by the villagers themselves.

Occasionally you can see a few vendors selling eggs, chickens and ducks, but I didn't see any candied hawthorns. I was originally thinking of buying one to try!

Perhaps it was because everyone was starving back then, and sugar was scarce!

The town was small, and the three of them strolled around the market, looking at everything in just over an hour.

I didn't buy anything except three roasted sweet potatoes.

At the market, Su Ting noticed several children picking up vegetable leaves and straw.

They probably took it home to eat, or wove it into straw dusters to sell.

I noticed that the two girls' hair hadn't been trimmed in a while.

Su Ting then took the two of them to a hair salon, and also got his hair done.

The barber was a man in his fifties, and his skills were quite good.

I gave the two girls a quick trim and carefully styled their bangs, which immediately made them look much prettier.

People waiting for their haircuts all praised the two girls for being beautiful.

Several older women came up to them and asked if they had husbands, which scared the two girls so much that they hid behind Su Ting.

Seeing Su Ting's attire, the others stopped trying to strike up a conversation.

After all, Su Ting looked quite different from the people around him; it was obvious at a glance that he was no ordinary person.

Not only was he wealthy, but he was also very well-mannered, which instilled a certain degree of awe in everyone.

Su Ting smiled and explained to everyone that his two younger sisters hadn't considered finding husbands yet, and getting their hair cut was the priority for now.

He roughly told the old man what hairstyle he wanted, and the old man carefully cut him a layered haircut according to his request.

This guy is no ordinary person! The barber has to be treated well.

After getting his hair cut, Su Ting rinsed it briefly and then quickly dried it with a hairdryer.

Looking in the mirror, he noticed he was becoming more and more handsome and couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.

Although Su Ting's new hairstyle was somewhat out of fashion for the time, it wasn't considered outrageous.

Others might just think the young man is really handsome, and wouldn't find it strange at all.

Liu Mu took out nine cents from his pocket to pay the bill, and then he and his sister left the barbershop with Su Ting in their hands.

As the other customers in the store watched them leave, they all remarked on how outstanding Su Ting's appearance truly was.

It was already past noon, and the three of them had spent more than an hour getting haircuts and waiting in line.

I had been wandering around the market for a long time, and although I had eaten a roasted sweet potato earlier, it was almost completely digested by now.

So they found a wonton stall.

Liu Zhao paid for several bowls of wontons, and the three of them sat around a small square table to wait.

Soon, the wontons were served, and they began to enjoy their lunch.

During this time, Liu Zhao and Liu Mu would occasionally put wontons from their bowls into Su Ting's bowl.

He claimed that his stomach capacity was limited and he couldn't eat that much.

Su Ting understood their intentions and thought to himself that there was no need to be polite; he would just buy the two girls some of their favorite snacks later.

After finishing their meal, Su Ting led the two girls to buy some snacks.

This time, Su Ting insisted that the two girls not pay.

It's only natural for an older brother to buy things for his younger sister, so how can he let his sister pay for them?

Su Ting led the two girls to pick out another twenty feet of fabric with floral patterns. There was no other way; this kind of fabric was the most popular right now.

Although the two little girls already have new clothes to wear, they still have to wear their old, patched clothes when they need to change into their regular clothes.

Su Ting thought about giving them a new outfit so they would have something to change into.

The two girls were overjoyed to see that Su Ting had specially bought fabric for them.

If we weren't still inside the shop, we probably would have rushed over to express our gratitude.

Just after 2 p.m., Su Ting took the two sisters on their way home.

On the way, we met five villagers from Liujia Village, who happened to be heading back together!

Su Ting recognized these people as familiar faces. After asking them about the situation, he invited them to get in the car, intending to give them a ride for part of the journey.

The five people boarded the car at the sisters' urging, and the two women sat in the back of the carriage.

The three men had to squeeze into the back of the truck because of the limited space.

Even so, they were still overjoyed.

After all, apart from the bus that goes into the city, they have never ridden in a car before!

They repeatedly expressed their gratitude to Su Ting and the two sisters.

Su Ting started the car again and drove towards the village.

At that moment, the two sisters were chatting warmly with two women from the same village, while Su Ting listened quietly without saying a word.

The two women chatted with the sisters while secretly admiring them.

They could clearly see the fabric and snacks inside the carriage—how much money must have cost! Obviously, these were all things Su Ting had bought for the two girls.

In this day and age, which family would be so willing to spend money on their daughter?

How could one possibly buy fabric with small flowers just for everyday clothes!

As the two sisters chattered away, Su Ting drove back to the village.

After dropping off the five villagers at the village entrance and receiving grateful glances, he returned to the Liu family's house.

Upon returning to the Liu family home, Su Ting did not get out of the car. Instead, he opened the car door and leaned against it, leisurely enjoying the breeze.

After the two maids carried the things into the house, they returned to the car to chat with Su Ting.

Not long after, Liu's two sisters-in-law came to the door, saying they were bored at home and wanted to find the two sisters to relieve their boredom.

The two girls, who were enjoying snacks in the car, hurriedly got out.

He personally helped the two women into the car and offered them some snacks.

Upon seeing this, Su Ting also greeted his sisters-in-law.

After all, we're all family, so what's a little snack?

The women chatted over snacks, mostly four of them talking.

Su Ting listened quietly as they recounted their everyday stories.

He noticed that Liu Mu became unusually talkative when she was with her own family.
