Courtyard houses: Those who are capable are rewarded, and many children bring many blessings.

When Bai Hongmin returned with the foot bath water, Bai Hongyan had already crawled into bed.

"Sis, I want to sleep with you tonight!"

"I'm really impressed with you. Come on, come on." Bai Hongyan still doted on her younger sister.

Bai Hongmin was very happy. First, she took off her outer pants, covered her long, straight legs with the quilt, and then sat down to unbutton her cotton-padded jacket.

Back then, there were no thermal underwear or pajamas. If you were particular, you would wear a small undergarment to bed at night. Ordinary women, like men, would just wear a pair of shorts.

There wasn't much fabric back then, and the technology wasn't as advanced as it is now. It was all pure cotton, but this stuff didn't fit well and it was stiff.

Otherwise, you'll use a washing machine when washing clothes. Especially for linen, you'll soften it by pounding it with the washing machine.

The children slept with their bottoms completely naked, and there were usually no mattresses on the kang (a heated brick bed); they slept directly on the mats on the kang.

Bai's father was a vice-ministerial level official, so their family was naturally well-off. Bai Hongyan was wearing a pure cotton vest.

"Why are you all taken off?" Bai Hongyan asked, noticing her younger sister wasn't even wearing a tank top.

"Hehe, it's warm to sleep like this." He said, then lay down next to Bai Hongyan.

"Sis, you've gained weight in the last six months, you're a whole size bigger than me. Hey! Why is this red?"

"Sis, tell me honestly, did a man suck on you?"

Bai Hongyan quickly pulled the blanket up higher: "I think you're having puberty, your mind is full of men. Can't I control myself?"

"There are no mosquitoes now, so forget it. I wanted to tell you about my situation, but if you won't, I won't either!"

Bai Hongyan was tricked by her. After all, she had been working for several years and was seven or eight years older than her.

"What could possibly be wrong with you? Either two guys got into a fight over you, or some young man asked you out to dinner or a movie!"

"How dare you look down on me! I've told you, but you absolutely mustn't tell Mom!" Bai Hongmin said very seriously.

"Fine, I won't say!"

"I went to see a movie with Ma Xiaojun a few days ago, and he... he kissed me when I wasn't looking. Sis, do you think I might be pregnant?" This was the real reason Bai Hongmin was willing to tell her sister—she was worried about getting pregnant.

Bai Hongyan teased her deliberately, "How did he kiss you? Let me analyze it for you."

Bai Hongmin was already blushing deeply: "We just...we just kissed like that."

"Hehehe..." Bai Hongyan couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

Bai Hongmin realized she had been tricked and pounded Bai Hongyan's chest with her fist, saying, "How annoying!"

"You're the one who's stupid, and you're blaming others."

"Nobody told me, how would I know?"

"Why don't you look through Mom's medical books?"

"Ah, is the answer in the medical books?"

"Not all medical books have it. Hmph..." Bai Hongyan thought for a moment and then said, "I remember it was written by a white-skinned woman, in gynecology, yes, gynecology!"

"Sis, are you sure you won't get pregnant?"

"Put it down. Even if I kiss your lips until they're swollen, you won't get pregnant!"

"Ugh, we have to kiss? That's so dirty!"

"You almost blew past me. Who is this Ma Xiaojun?" Bai Hongyan is so beautiful, and her younger sister Bai Hongmin is not bad-looking either.

If Bai Hongyan is a blooming peony, full and luxurious, then Bai Hongmin is a graceful lotus, pure and flawless.

Since entering junior high school, Bai Hongmin has never stopped pursuing anyone. In the words of later generations, Bai Hongmin was their school beauty.

"Ma Xiaojun, it's Ma Xiaojun, right? He's recruiting this spring and going to join the army. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone to the movies with him. Sis, don't just ask me, have you found a boyfriend?"

"Not really, it's just that there's someone I get along with, and he's already married and a father in 11."

"Oh! Sis, what you're doing isn't right!"

"You're still too naive. Your family has protected you too much. You're eighteen already and you still don't understand anything. The world isn't just black and white."

"Oh! Sis, why don't you talk to Mom on my behalf, and when you go to work, I'll come along for a few days?"

"Aren't you going to take the college entrance exam? Why aren't you at home studying?"

"Sister, please! Ever since the holidays started, Mom hasn't let me go out much. I'll be eighteen after the New Year, but she still treats me like a child, forbidding me from doing this or that. It's so annoying!"

You just said I was too naive, that I didn't interact with the outside world, how could I be so shrewd!

After thinking about it for a while, Bai Hongyan agreed, realizing that it made sense.

"Sis, what's the deal with that guy you were talking about? He's married and has a child, so what's going on with you two?"

"Don't be so curious. You'll find out when the time comes. Okay, go to sleep!"

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, neither of the Qin sisters mentioned going back to their parents' home.

Niu Dazhuang is living the life that everyone envies. Qin Huairu and Qin Yueru are living in a small detached house right next to the temple. There aren't many other residents around, so the environment is quite quiet.

"Xueru, Ningru, shall we go see your third sister?"

"Okay, okay, bring the playing cards. We haven't been able to get enough people to play cards since they moved there." This was Qin Ningru.

Qin Xueru had no reason to object. She wrapped Xiao Qijin up and the four of them went to the small courtyard.

Well, they're all beautiful in their own way, plump and slender, chattering away, making quite a scene.

Niu Dazhuang turned on both the inner and outer stoves, making the fires roar. The room was small to begin with, and now that both stoves were burning smokeless coal, the temperature inside the room rose quickly.

With no outsiders around, the four sisters unbuttoned one or two buttons on their cotton-padded jackets.

After a while of commotion, I got both little ones to sleep, and then the real show began.

Niu Dazhuang had been thinking about this for more than half a year, and now his wish finally came true.

Not only were the men excited, but the women were too; it was incredibly pleasurable...

Now Niu Dazhuang doesn't need to hold back anymore; he's going all out. Even if he wanted to stop and rest, he couldn't.

Qin Huairu and the others insisted on testing the limits of this donkey thing... They hadn't been off the heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed) much these past few days, except for meals.

The feast didn't end until the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, when Niu Dazhuang had to go back to work.

"Sister, Dazhuang is such a beast! How come he's getting more and more energetic?" Qin Yueru asked, lying on the kang (a heated brick bed) after Dazhuang got up early for work.

"Didn't you notice? Every now and then, he would always lead us through a few rounds of boxing. There were specific techniques for breathing and boxing, and the same applies to the stance."

"That seems to be the case. When they throw a punch, it's not a straight-up attack; sometimes it's powerful, sometimes it's gentle," Qin Xueru added.

Niu Dazhuang's skills have also greatly improved. He has achieved a minor mastery of the Tibetan Tantric mental techniques and is now able to control his movements. Although he has not yet reached the level of having sex with a hundred women a day, Niu Dazhuang is confident that having sex with ten or so women is no problem at all.
