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

Bai Hongmin's state left Niu Dazhuang speechless. "Does this child have mental problems? Her thinking is too erratic."

Just as Bai Hongmin was about to lose her temper, there was a light knock on the door on Niu Dazhuang's side, and Niu Dazhuang rolled down the car window.

"Sir, the truck is loaded. Thank you for your help. I'll be sitting in the back of the truck."

"Okay, the department store in Xin'an Market is correct, right?" Niu Dazhuang confirmed the delivery address again.

"That's right."

Niu Dazhuang pushed open the car door and took out a crank handle that was over a meter long: "Want to give it a try?"

"Let's give it a try." Bai Hongyan also got out of the car.

Niu Dazhuang helped her press the pressure relief valve, but Bai Hongyan's face turned red from holding it in, and she didn't budge the crank.

"You do it, are you deliberately trying to see me embarrass myself!"

"Hey, you were smart this time, you actually guessed right." As he spoke, he started the truck.

"Bang bang..." For Niu Dazhuang, starting a fire is now a piece of cake.

Bai Hongmin pouted and got into the car angrily.

Niu Dazhuang pretended not to see it, started the truck, and left the South Freight Yard. Niu Dazhuang took out the half-pack of cigarettes, stared straight ahead at the road conditions, and took out a cigarette with one hand. Coincidentally, it was the same cigarette that Bai Hongmin had just smoked.

"No..." Bai Hongmin didn't finish her sentence.

Niu Dazhuang already had the half-smoked cigarette in his mouth. He skillfully struck a match with one hand and lit it for himself.

"Are you trying to take advantage of me in a roundabout way?" Bai Hongmin asked angrily.

"What do you mean by taking advantage of you?"

"The cigarette you're smoking now is the one I just smoked!"

"Damn!" Niu Dazhuang suddenly remembered a song lyric from later generations, and he couldn't suppress his artistic flair.

"How feudal! I felt the wind you felt, doesn't that count as an embrace? I walked the path you walked, doesn't that count as a meeting?"

These two questions left Bai Hongmin completely stunned, her eyes practically sparkling with excitement.

I had just forgotten about that naive and innocent phrase, and now here come two more golden lines with such poetic and philosophical meaning.

Niu Dazhuang glanced at Bai Hongmin's expression and started acting all high and mighty again.

He deliberately lowered his voice, making it hoarse and filled with sorrow and vicissitude. He then added fuel to the fire: "Suddenly an old friend crosses my mind; looking back, autumn has already arrived over the mountains and rivers."

If we are together in the snow one day, then we can be considered to have grown old together in this life.

Old dreams are now just empty promises made to the ends of the earth; a heart full of autumn chill locks the small building in its embrace.

We will never meet again in this lifetime; I live alone amidst the frost and flowers, my dreams unfulfilled!

Bai Hongmin actually took Niu Dazhuang's advice to heart. A brief silence fell over the driver's cab.

"If we share the snow someday, we'll grow old together in this life..." Bai Hongmin muttered to herself, then suddenly exclaimed, "Hehe... So it turns out you're just having a one-sided crush! Tell me, isn't this woman my sister?!"

Niu Dazhuang's face darkened: "Talking to a brick wall!" He floored the accelerator, and the car sped up.

Bai Hongmin felt smug as she watched Niu Dazhuang's dark face; she had finally turned the tables on him.

"I also have a suggestion for you. You're a rough, tough guy, yet you're trying to write love poems like others."

This doesn't suit your personality. You should be like this morning, ready to draw your sword at the slightest provocation. That's what a real man does!

Even if you want to write something, you should learn from great men. Look how magnificent their poems are! "The Zhongshan Mountains are shrouded in mist and rain, a million soldiers cross the great river..."

Niu Dazhuang's attempt to act sophisticated failed, but thinking about it, it makes sense. Nowadays, people are all enthusiastic about building a new China, putting aside all talk of family and friends.

Finding a partner is the same; it's all done by ourselves. Both parties meet each other's parents, and if it's a good match, we get married—it's straightforward and direct.

Bai Hongmin found this man quite interesting. Such a rugged man, yet so thoughtful!

He tilted his head and watched as Niu Dazhuang stared intently at the car, becoming somewhat mesmerized.

I really want to crack open his head and see what this guy is thinking about all day long.

From the South Freight Yard to the Xin'an Market, there was no traffic congestion back then, and it only took half an hour to get there.

Just before getting off the bus, Niu Dazhuang added, "Don't look at me like that, I'm just a legend!"

Bai Hongmin seemed to have been caught sneaking a bite to eat, and her pretty face immediately turned red. She said coquettishly, "You narcissist, who was looking at you? Really!"

The truck drove into the backyard of the department store, parked, and the department store employee who had been accompanying the truck jumped off.

Go and call people over to unload the truck.

A dozen or so workers were unloading the truck when this man came over again: "Go to the office and warm up a bit. It won't be finished in half an hour."

"What's your name?" Niu Dazhuang asked.

"Master, my colleagues all call me Xiao Wang, but you look younger than me!"

"Haha, then I'll call you Brother Wang, and you'll be called Da Niu!" Niu Dazhuang said, handing him a cigarette and giving himself one as a bonus.

After a moment of surprise, he jokingly handed the cigarette case to Bai Hongmin.

Unsurprisingly, he received a glare from Bai Hongmin: "How annoying!"

"Miss, make yourself at home here, don't be shy!"

"Don't listen to him, he's deliberately messing with me and wants to see me make a fool of myself."

This person is quite remarkable.

"Why is it shameful for women to smoke? Have you heard of the 'Three Monsters Fighting in Northeast China'? There are plenty of women who smoke in the Northeast!"

Niu Dazhuang asked cooperatively, "What's this 'three monster-fighting'?"

"The window paper is pasted on the outside; the young woman smokes a pipe; the children she raises are hung up!"

"I really don't smoke. I was just teasing him at the South Freight Yard."

Xiao Wang didn't try to persuade them any further. He led the two to his office and poured each of them a cup of jasmine tea.

Next, Xiao Wang explained why he had suddenly arranged for a truck to transport the goods.

Finally, he said, "You two take a rest. I'm going out for a bit and will be right back."

"You truck drivers live a more comfortable life than my mom!"

"You've only seen our glamorous side. How about this, we'll go support the construction of the Ming Tombs Reservoir in a few days. You don't need to stay too long; just stay at the construction site for a week and experience it for yourself."

Bai Hongmin pursed her lips: "You think I've never been to a construction site? Our school has organized plenty of voluntary labor trips to the construction sites along Chang'an Avenue. They're just a bit dirty, nothing special!"

Niu Dazhuang thought for a moment, "If I trick you into living with your sister, then you'll be a monk for seven days."

Thinking about this, I wanted to slap myself. Why did I have to be so cheeky? I quickly changed the subject.

"Are you going to start working or continue your studies?"

"I haven't decided yet. Sigh, what do you think about me working for your company?"

"Not so great!" Niu Dazhuang blurted out without thinking. With Bai Hongyan having such a tagalong, how could he possibly mess with her? Unless he could also win over this pretty girl in front of him.

Thinking of this, Niu Dazhuang began to carefully examine Bai Hongmin's figure and appearance. The current Niu Dazhuang is not the Niu Dazhuang of the past. He has seen it all and ordinary women can no longer catch his eye!
