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

Tanya felt a little regretful. She had only been enjoying herself for a few days when Xiao'e got pregnant.

Since learning that Xiao'e was pregnant, Niu Dazhuang's visits have decreased significantly. Not only have the number of visits decreased, but he has also stopped staying overnight. How could this be?

After a lifetime of hard work, having finally managed to enjoy a few delicacies, suddenly being deprived of them is a disaster, especially for women in their early forties.

Every day, I feel restless and listless, unable to concentrate on anything. Whenever I can't find Niu Dazhuang at Lou Xiao'e's place, I make Lou Bancheng drink more medicinal wine when I get home. It's better than nothing, I suppose.

Less than half a month later, Lou Bancheng became even more unhappy; this was going to be the death of him. He kept finding various excuses and didn't dare to go home.

On a Sunday in early April, the person finally arrived.

Tan Yali made up her mind and decided to negotiate with Niu Dazhuang.

"Dazhuang, Xiao'e is fine. Come with me for a walk in the park."

"This isn't appropriate!"

"Xiao'e, why don't you go for a walk? I have something to say to Dazhuang." Lou Xiao'e had also noticed that her mother hadn't been behaving normally lately, and she had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on, since they hadn't officially confessed yet.

Lou Xiao'e is only two months pregnant, which doesn't affect her mobility at all. She nodded and went out.

"Dazhuang, tell me, how have I treated you?"

"No doubt about it."

"Young people should see things through to the end. Don't just leave me hanging now that Xiao'e doesn't need me anymore!"

Niu Dazhuang teased her deliberately, "What's so cold about it?"

"Hey, you little ingrate, are you getting old?"

"No, I think you and Xiao'e are sisters, not mother and daughter."

"Then why..."

"I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it alone, and you'll get hurt again..."

"Couldn't you be a little gentler...?"

Dealing with this kind of middle-aged woman was a real challenge. For Lou Bancheng's family fortune and to have a backup plan in Hong Kong, Niu Dazhuang had no choice but to sacrifice himself first.

Niu Dazhuang will never have to worry about women again in this life.

The third uncle in the courtyard was really going all out to find a wife for his eldest son.

He spent six ounces of grain coupons plus seven mao to buy a box of pastries. He carried it himself to Ran Qiuye's house.

Only the stingy Third Uncle would do something like this; to save on the thank-you gift for the matchmaker, he went to her door himself.

Ran Qiuye's parents were reasonable people and did not embarrass Yan Bugui. They simply said that the two young people should get to know each other first, and that as long as their daughter liked it, everything was negotiable.

Xu Damao was much more proactive than Yan Jiecheng.

At first, he also wanted to pursue Yu Haitang, after all, they were in the same department, which gave him an advantage over his other male colleagues.

But as soon as this idea surfaced, it earned him a warning from Yang Weimin, the factory director's nephew.

Xu Damao, such a coward, was being warned by the factory director's nephew, so the little flame that had just sprouted in his heart was extinguished.

I was depressed about this for several days. One night, I drank some alcohol and didn't cover myself properly with the blanket. It was still chilly in early spring, and I caught a cold.

After visiting the clinic at his workplace, Xu Damao discovered that he had arrived in mainland China first.

The new doctor, Ding Qiunan, is also a great beauty. Although her figure isn't as good as Yu Haitang's, her small face is indeed charming.

Xu Damao was quite adept at dealing with women. In the beginning, he would give them small gifts, and once they were familiar with each other, he would show off his wealth by inviting them to dinner and boasting.

Good women are easily swayed by persistence, and within a few months, the two families met each other's parents. This time, both the Xu father and son learned to keep a low profile. Since neither side had any objections, they didn't care whether it was the twelfth lunar month or not, and decided to get married first.

To avoid being robbed of the prize by someone else without knowing why.

Niu Dazhuang was seeing Ding Qiunan for the first time at their wedding. He cursed inwardly.

"Damn it, God arranged for a celebrity to come in, why didn't He tell me? How am I supposed to intercept him now?"

Guys, it's not that I didn't want to steal it, it's just that I had no idea! Xu Damao is lucky; he managed to snatch Lou Xiao'e away.

Another Ding Qiunan has appeared! Damn! This is forcing me to take a risky move! Let me cuckold you first...

For many years, no one had held a wedding in the courtyard house. Xu Damao's family was quite well-off, and Xu Fugui was not stingy when his only son got married.

They set up three tables and bought two pounds of sugar.

The uncles, grandpas, and the bride's family all left their seats at both tables, except for Niu Dazhuang and Yan Jiecheng.

The cook, Sha Zhu, finished cooking for three tables and then sat down at the table himself, drinking heartily with Niu Dazhuang and the others.

Xu Fugui knew his son's character well. He had told him countless times the day before, but his son just couldn't remember. He would forget everything after drinking a little alcohol.

Seeing Xu Damao and the others clinking glasses and drinking happily, it was a joyous occasion, so it wasn't appropriate to say anything too serious.

"Da Mao, don't forget what I told you yesterday. We've almost finished packing, and your mother and I are going back now."

Xu Damao waved his hand: "I know, don't worry!"

Xu Damao was in a good mood today and performed well. Yan Jiecheng, on the other hand, was greedy and drank so much that he was slurring his words, but he was still relatively unharmed.

Niu Dazhuang's drinking has improved, not in terms of his alcohol tolerance, but because he now knows how to cheat using his personal space.

This guy cheated using his personal storage space; no matter how much Niu Dazhuang drinks, he won't get drunk...

The lights were already on inside, but the four of them hadn't left yet. To be precise, it was just two of them; Xu Damao and Yan Jiecheng were already slumped over the table.

"Alright! That's enough for today. Sha Zhu, you take Yan Jiecheng back, and I'll take Da Mao inside too."

"Hey. This kid's completely drunk. I was hoping to eavesdrop, but looks like it's not going to happen tonight."

"Silly Zhu, how old are you? Why don't you get married yourself? What's the point of always eavesdropping? You can hear it but you can't have it, so you might as well not listen at all."

"You know what, I actually have my eye on one, but I'm still hesitating."

"If you like someone, marry them. Look at Xu Damao, it only took him three or four months from meeting him to getting married."

"I think so too, it must be this woman, she has quite a few children..."

"Hey, you're a grown man, can't you find a young woman? Why are you always hanging around young widows?"

"Hehe! What can I do? This is my favorite. It's a family heirloom!"

"Since you've set your sights on someone, and you earn a decent income, plus you can bring back leftovers from the cafeteria, you shouldn't go hungry even with a few more mouths to feed. Hurry up!"

"Da Niu, do you think the neighbors in the compound won't laugh at me for marrying a widow and bringing three children home?"

"Life is what you make of it. It's good to have a wife who cares about you. What good are other people's jokes? Let them say what they want!"

"That's right! After talking to you, I feel much clearer. Your words are worth a drink. In a couple of days, if I have the chance to bring back some good food, I'll invite you over, and we'll have another drink. We'll be friends after this little misunderstanding!"
