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

"Now that this lady has spoken frankly, I'm not afraid of losing face anymore. I have two kids and I don't work. We get ten yuan a month from his grandma, and that's enough for us to make ends meet."

"Your Niu family married the old lady away, and now we can't live like this. Nobody would want that! Don't you think so, sister-in-law?"

"Exactly! Those men don't manage the household; they don't know the cost of living!"

"Hey! What's the big deal? This is easy to handle. Aunt Zhao married my uncle, so just continue to subsidize you the way you used to!" Niu Dazhuang made the final decision.

"Well... Brother Dazhuang, since you've said you're getting married, what will happen after your parents pass away...?"

The daughter-in-law focuses on the immediate matters, while the son thinks further ahead.

"I understand. Since she's married to my uncle, she's now part of the Niu family. Her care and funeral arrangements are our family's responsibility. After she passes away, Aunt Zhao and my uncle's bones will be interred together and buried back in our hometown. Is that alright?"

Women generally don't pay attention to this.

"Tidying up makes perfect sense!"

"Since your family has no objections, should we celebrate with the elderly couple, or should we just let Auntie move in?"

"What age are they? Why bother with all this? It's too much trouble. You can move her grandma's things over there right now."

"We shouldn't bother two people with one matter. I see you're quite fair in handling things, so we won't trouble outsiders. After her grandmother moved out, you even helped us divide up the two rooms she's currently living in."

"Second brother's wife, it's a bit inappropriate for you to have Brother Dazhuang mediate the matter of dividing the family property!"

"Yes, yes, that's not appropriate. I'm younger than both of your brothers, so my words weren't serious. You should talk to your elders in the Liu family!" Niu Dazhuang had no interest in getting involved in their family's mess!

"Xueru, stop standing there! Quickly pack up the old lady's things and take them all with you later!"

When Liu Er's wife saw that the other party was unwilling to get involved, she stopped mentioning the matter.

Aunt Zhao didn't actually have much to pack. She had all the bedding there, so she packed her clothes into a small bundle, which Niu Dazhuang carried away.

The important things are the household registration booklet, the grain ration booklet, and the non-staple food ration booklet; just bring those.

The group first arrived at the place where Qin Huairu was staying.

"Stay here tonight, I'll be back in a bit." After telling them this, he called Da Xiong and the other two brothers, and they went back to Daxing Hutong to Grandpa Niu's place.

He personally handed over the bundle and household registration book to Aunt Zhao. No, from now on, she'll be called Aunt Zhao.

Niu Dazhuang then recounted the whole story.

Niu Youliang grinned and tapped Niu Dazhuang on the head with his pipe: "Hehe...you weren't spoiled for nothing, now you know why I always throw a tantrum at night."

"You old rascal. Dazhuang, we're all family now, so I won't stand on ceremony. Your uncle and I have finally gotten our wish."

"Auntie, did you see that? The matter was settled, but my uncle still beat me up. You have to do something about this. I'm leaving!"

The old man's only wish had been fulfilled. Niu Dazhuang was in high spirits. They had to celebrate that night.

Dinner had to include a drink. The Qin sisters didn't miss a single one, and their little faces were all flushed from drinking.

A little wine doubles the happiness...

Twenty thousand words omitted here

With her grandmother's approval, Milan became even more reluctant to stay at school. As soon as Thursday arrived, she rode her bicycle to find Niu Dazhuang.

The atmosphere at universities now is not as open as it is in later generations.

When the two met, they weren't overly enthusiastic: "Are you feeling alright?"

"Yes, the ointment you gave me was quite effective; the swelling went down in just a couple of days after I applied it. If I hadn't come to see you, would you have forgotten about me?"

"How could I dare to go? I'm afraid your grandma will eat me."

"I didn't expect my grandma to be so happy." Milan then recounted her conversation with her grandma to him.

"I know you won't divorce your wife to marry me, I know that much," Milan added.

"When you meet someone who moves you, be brave and pursue them. Don't worry about forever; I only care about having had them!"

"Bad man, twisted logic. Since you don't want to marry me, we only have less than six months left together. How do you plan to spend that time?" Milan tilted her head and asked.

"Of course I'll come see you whenever I have time, so you can experience what a real woman is like."

Milan said shyly in a low voice, "Let's go then!"

It seems she's even more addicted than Niu Dazhuang. Come to think of it, once a young woman tastes the sweetness, she's bound to get addicted and become especially clingy.

Since Milan had already said so, Niu Dazhuang had no choice but to ask his classmate to ask for leave on his behalf once again.

Niu Dazhuang was a special case in their class. He was the one who took the most leave of absence, but he still managed to rank at the top of his class in every exam, so the teacher didn't really pay attention to him.

If a university student from a later era needs to attend classes even with only a junior high school education, then Niu Dazhuang's previous life was a waste.

Once outside the school gate, the two rode side by side: "Let's fill our stomachs first. After we eat, I'll take you to a quiet place where you can shout until your voice is hoarse without disturbing the neighbors."

"Get lost, I'm not going to yell. Let's go get some braised pork noodles, that'll save you some money!"

"Hehe, I think you're not trying to save me money, you're just itching to try it yourself?"

"If you keep being this annoying, I'm not going to talk to you anymore." Milan pouted as she finished speaking.

The small courtyard house that was rented for Yu Li has never been returned, and now it's come in handy.

Niu Dazhuang ate two large bowls of braised meat noodles in one go. Before leaving, he also took half a pound of boneless meat, a bag of peanuts, and a pound of sorghum liquor with him.

"Wow, it's quiet here, but also a bit creepy. Why is there a dilapidated temple up ahead?" Milan grabbed Niu Dazhuang's arm as soon as she entered the courtyard.

"There's no dilapidated temple; the area around it would be full of people long ago. I'm not lying to you, am I? Even if you shout until you're hoarse, no one will hear you." With that, he grabbed Milan.

"Why are you still keeping the lamp on?"

"With such a beautiful face and figure, of course I have to keep an eye on her all the time!"

Being young is great; your skin is smooth and supple, and the areas that should be prominent are never sunken... You also have a strong ability to adapt.

I haven't left the house much for three days now.

"Big Brother Niu, I'm truly convinced this time, completely convinced and full of admiration. Please spare me!" Milan pleaded in a hoarse voice.

"Hehe! I don't believe it. You beg for mercy every day, but then you forget about it."

"This...this time...it's for real! My good man, please forgive me! I'll never do it again."

Niu Dazhuang didn't believe her at all. What did Zhang Wuji's mother say? The prettier the woman, the more likely she is to lie.

This time, Niu Dazhuang actually used Ouyang Feng's Toad Stance. What is the essence of the Toad Stance...? Hehe.
