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

"Oh my goodness, why are you crying again? If someone comes by now, they might think I've done something to you."

"Waaah... I feel so wronged!"

"Alright, tell me what's wrong!"

"They're all blind, they look down on me, and they even framed me, saying I'm some pampered young lady from a wealthy landowner's family. Waaah..."

"You're quite spoiled, your classmates aren't wrong!"

"Waaah... How am I being spoiled? I eat the same food as them in the cafeteria and I actively participate in labor."

Niu Dazhuang curled his lip. "If someone like you worked in the commune, you'd only earn five cents. Alright, alright, it's no big deal, why are you making such a fuss?"

"It's one thing for them to isolate me normally, but when I went to the commune for voluntary labor, they isolated me again, making me pick this huge field of corn all by myself..." Bai Hongmin finally found someone to complain to, and she spoke and gestured.

I poured out all the bitterness I had accumulated over the past few months since starting university.

Finally, she added, "My mom has changed too. She says I'm out of touch with reality and don't connect with the people."

"Waaah... I never want to go back to that house again."

"You won't go back to school, and you won't go home, so what are you going to do?"

"Could you give me a ride? I have a friend whose parents went to help with the Third Front construction, and I'd like to stay at her house."

Are you coming to school tomorrow?

"I've taken sick leave!"

"Wait a minute, I'm going to ride my bike. Don't wander off."

"Hurry up, I'm scared to be alone!" After Bai Hongmin finished pouring out her heart, her mind cleared up, her intelligence returned, and she realized she was scared.

"Why weren't you scared just now! Alright, just wait, it'll be five minutes at most."

Niu Dazhuang went back to his dormitory first and asked his classmates to ask for leave for him before riding his bicycle out.

It's that familiar tenement building again.

Bai Hongmin knocked on her mistress's door.

"Oh my god, Xiaobai, what happened to you? You look like a cat with a big, dirty face."

"Come inside and let's talk. I'll wash my face first!" Bai Hongmin stood at the door, turned to Niu Dazhuang and said, "You can go back now. Thank you for tonight! Goodbye."

"It's better not to see him."

With his ears finally at peace, Niu Dazhuang rode his bicycle back to the courtyard house.

After entering the house.

"Little White, who gave it to you?"

"Xiao Mi, you shameless womanizer! Instead of asking me what's going on, you're asking about men first."

"You're perfectly fine, even if you're a bit disheveled. To me, nothing is more important than life and death."

"You're being so unfair. Stop asking around; he's already a father."

"Oh, Xiaobai, you're getting so bold these days, even seducing married men!"

"Go ahead, do you think you're like that, indiscriminate in your desires? You wouldn't even let a little kid like Ma Xiaojun go."

"Hey, you who put down your chopsticks and immediately starts cursing the cook, if you can't use Ma Xiaojun, you'd have to use Lao Mo, right?"

"Find me some of your clothes, I need to change." Bai Hongmin didn't stand on ceremony and poured water to wash her face.

"You're so much taller than me, you can definitely fit into my clothes!"

"I can't be left naked!"

"Hehehe... It's good to be naked, anyway no one will be coming to my house tonight."

Bai Hongmin not only washed her face but also her hair, and finally took off her clothes and wiped her body down as well.

"Tsk tsk... those long legs, even I'd drool over them, let alone a man!" Milan teased.

Bai Hongmin reached out and tugged at Milan's vest: "Don't just talk about me, look at her, she's not as tall as me, but those two landmines are no smaller than mine!"

"Hehehe... That's called the greatness of motherhood. What if the next generation goes hungry because of this?"

Two beautiful young women, their bickering and arguing are something many men envy...

Their wet hair had dried considerably, and the two lay side by side on the bed.

"Hey! Who was that guy who brought you here? I've never seen him before. And also..."

What did you guys do tonight? Crawling into a woodpile isn't even the way to do it! Did you go into an air-raid shelter?

"Get lost, I wouldn't even look at him. You saw it clearly just now, and then you started asking all sorts of questions."

"Didn't you see clearly? I was just concerned about you. It's so late at night, and a man brought you here alone. A man and a woman alone together... their relationship must be something special!"

"Sigh, let me tell you, so you won't guess." Bai Hongmin explained Niu Dazhuang's situation and then recounted what had happened that night.

The incident of grabbing corn on the cob was definitely something she couldn't mention. Even now, Bai Hongmin's heart still pounds when she thinks about it.

That's why my sister said Niu Dazhuang is a stubborn donkey; there's a hidden meaning in that! He's such a beast!

What am I thinking? What a troublemaker!

The thought flashed through Bai Hongmin's mind. "Oh! So that's what happened! I thought it was another one of your suitors!"

"When you came in, I told you, didn't I? He's a father now, but you wouldn't believe me. Now you do!"

Milan shook her head again: "Who says men who are fathers don't have affairs? I've heard that these men are more experienced and much better than little kids."

"So that's why you're not studying properly! Turns out, all you think about is this!"

"I don't think about it that often. I just tend to overthink when I'm alone. Xiaobai, can you tell me about going to university?"

"No, not at all. It's not as good as when we were in high school. You'll see when you get into college next year."

"With my grades, I'm not even qualified for university; I'd be better off going to college."

"Then what are you going to do after graduating high school? Join the army? High school graduates are more likely to get promoted!"

"No, I'm not afraid of hardship, but I'm afraid of dying."

"So what do you want to do?"

"I haven't decided yet. Anyway, I still have a year, so I can think about it slowly. My parents aren't around, so no one will nag me."

"Where's your grandma?"

"She doesn't have time for me; she showers all her love on her eldest grandson! Hey, when are you going back to school?"

"I took a few days of sick leave. Why? Do you want to come with me and experience university life?"

"Sigh! I'll never be one of the chosen ones in my life, but can't I at least experience the life of one?"

"Fine, I'll tell you, what kind of 'chosen ones' are they? They're nothing special..."

These two best friends started chatting and couldn't stop until they were so sleepy they could barely keep their eyes open, and then they finally went to sleep.

During this time, Niu Dazhuang has been frequently taking care of Qin Huairu, who is known for her ability to lock people up. Even the Empress Qin Xueru is a little unhappy about this.

Tonight's a must. I can't say I'll spoil one person entirely, but it's close enough. I can't show favoritism. My little cutie Ningru is still watching with longing eyes.

Because I got home late today, I didn't go out after dinner and just started planning my activities.

After figuring out the arrangements at home, he sneaked out in the middle of the night, startling Su Ting, who was sleeping soundly.

"Bang—bang—bang bang" was the code Niu Dazhuang used to knock on Su Ting's window.

The two rooms where Su Wan and Su Ting live have now been combined, connected by a door. When Su Ting doesn't know if Niu Dazhuang will come, she lets Xiao Qinling sleep with her. She hears a familiar knocking sound at the window.

I didn't even bother putting on my clothes; I'd have to take them off anyway...
