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

Niu Dazhuang finally heard the news he wanted: the ancestral hall of the Le family's old house was emitting ghostly fire.

Niu Dazhuang had been preparing for this day for almost half a year. Counting the days, it was mid-June, so he still had to wait another ten days or eight months, or maybe it would be a rainy day.

Forget about rainy days; if there were rainy days, there wouldn't be widespread drought. We'll just have to wait another ten days to two weeks.

That evening, Qin Xiuru finally met the male head of the household. To her surprise, her sisters not only didn't change their clothes, but also deliberately pulled their vests down.

Ningru, in particular, went too far. She didn't even wear her shorts outside, just her underwear.

She always hovered in front of Niu Dazhuang... as if afraid he wouldn't see her.

When Qin Xiuru saw the male homeowner return, she quickly put on a short-sleeved shirt over her vest. The shirt didn't fit well either, it was loose and baggy.

Sensing Niu Dazhuang's gaze, he quickly lowered his head.

"Too thin! She doesn't have any of the charm of a girl from the Qin family. Xue Ru, quickly help her gain some weight!"

"Do you still remember Xiuru?"

"Although I haven't seen him many times, and he's gotten incredibly thin now, I still remember his big, expressive eyes and his handsome little face. What are we having for dinner tonight?" I had intended to grab a palm-leaf fan and relax on the recliner.

Then I realized, this isn't Xu Huizhen and Chen Xueru's place. They have reclining chairs there, but we don't.

"What are you looking for?" Qin Huairu asked.

"Xueru, when you have time, go to the supply and marketing cooperative and see if they sell reclining chairs. Put one here and one in the courtyard."

Ningru sat down next to him on a small stool, fanning herself and Dazhuang with a palm-leaf fan.

After the adults finished eating, Xue Ru and Huai Ru fed the two little ones.

After the two little ones finished eating and played for a while, they started to get sleepy. Once they were put to sleep, the main event was about to begin. I hadn't seen Niu Dazhuang for two nights or three days, so there was a newcomer tonight.

Otherwise, Ningru would have already taken the initiative to approach her...

"Xiuru, come in and sleep too. Keep an eye on the two siblings while you're at it." Huairu called Xiuru into the side room.

"Aren't you hot? Why are you covered up so tightly?" Qin Huairu personally took off Xiuru's short-sleeved shirt.

"I'm off tomorrow, I'll take you to buy some fabric and make you some clothes to wear underneath."

"Third sister, this is the only outfit I'm wearing outside, and it has a few patches..."

"Don't worry, you definitely won't get cold. Listen to me, buy some fabric and make a few more sets of underwear, and some small cotton pads."

"Ah, Third Sister, Xiao Dang and Qi Jin, aren't they using cotton pads now?"

"It's not for them. You'll find out after tonight." With that, Qin Huairu opened the cabinet, took out a wad of cotton, and handed it to Qin Xiuru.

"What?" Qin Xiuru was a little confused.

"Put your ears in, and you'll be able to sleep better!"

Qin Xiuru pointed in surprise towards the main room with her index finger and asked in a low voice, "Isn't this a bit too much? Isn't Eighth Sister jealous?"

"Jealous? She might want to, but her strength doesn't allow her to be jealous."

Qin Xiuru wasn't stupid. From the way Qin Ningru and Qin Yueru dressed and spoke after Niu Dazhuang returned, she could tell that their relationship with Niu Dazhuang was unusual.

"Third sister, aren't you going to do anything about this? This is going too far! No wonder they wouldn't let me tell the family a single word about this; they've been keeping this huge bombshell in the back!"

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "Silly girl, do you think you can remain unscathed after knowing all this?"

"What do you mean?" Qin Xiuru had a vague idea of ​​what was going on.

"I didn't mean anything by it. No one forced you or pressured you. Ningru and Yueru made their own choices back then."

"Why is it like this? Why do they all have to revolve around one man?"

"Xiuru, would you like to hear my experience from this point on?"

"Third Sister, do you mean you were involved too?"

Qin Huairu nodded, not feeling embarrassed at all: "I was married to another man, and I even had two children with him. So..."

"I understand, then you have even more right to speak!"

"Our Qin family's daughters are indeed clever, that's right, that's exactly what I mean. Comparing goods is like throwing them away, comparing people is just infuriating."

"I understand, you mean the man you divorced wasn't as good as Dazhuang!"

"Yes, it's like heaven and earth. Once a woman gets married, besides food, clothing, and children, she has many more needs."

Let me tell you this: before I met Dazhuang, I never knew that women could be so happy.

Seeing her bewildered expression, Qin Huairu continued, "Let's talk about the matter at hand first."

Uncle Wu had no other choice but to shamelessly force you to come over. You should have experienced that firsthand by now!

Qin Xiuru nodded

"Dazhuang helped me and my sister find our jobs. Most men wouldn't do that, right? In other words, in these times, the fact that we can eat our fill and not go hungry is all thanks to Dazhuang. That's fair, isn't it?"

"Yes, Dazhuang is a capable man!"

"Don't you think that we both have jobs now, and we can live just fine without him?"

"Isn't that right? You can all earn your own salaries now, and you even have city residency!"

"Your fifth uncle has taken you to the courtyard houses, right? They all have jobs and city residency, but they still can't get enough to eat these days. You haven't seen enough of that. You can visit the tenement courtyards more often when you have time. Sometimes three generations of a family are crammed into two small rooms."

Now that we've covered basic living aspects, let's talk about women's physiological needs... You're eighteen this year, right? My fifth aunt probably told you a little bit about it, right?

When this topic came up, Qin Xiuru shook her head slightly: "Although my mom never told me, I secretly looked at her little picture book that she kept hidden away!"

Just then, a sound that made her blush crept into her ears.

"Third...sister, this, this is too..."

"She's not reserved, is she? She might want to be, but can she really? You'll find out soon enough. Go to sleep with your ears plugged; I have to go over there too."

Qin Huairu left, and even though Qin Xiuru had stuffed cotton in her ears, she couldn't stop thinking about it.

We've all been through the age of eighteen or nineteen. At this age, regardless of gender, what are we most interested in? Of course, it's the opposite sex.

No one should feel ashamed; it's just human instinct.

I couldn't fall asleep no matter how much I tossed and turned. I pulled the cotton out of my ears, but I could still hear it, so I put it back in. I've been tossing and turning for almost an hour now.

I can still hear it.

"This is too much...!"

Niu Tou glanced at the two little ones beside him, who were fast asleep. Qin Xiuru sat up...
