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

This really startled Su Ting. Back in 1958, he had inexplicably asked the family to store more grain.

As it turned out, a famine really did occur, and it lasted for two or three years. It was all thanks to Dazhuang's godlike foresight.

Su Ting had witnessed firsthand how hard other families had suffered for those two or three years.

Su Ting immediately became obedient: "Okay, okay, I'll do whatever you say, alright?"

When a woman cooperates, a man's pleasure is doubled, especially for a woman like Su Ting who has a good foundation. Although Su Ting is now in her early thirties and no longer as youthful as an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl,

But young women in this age group are the most attractive, exuding the charm of mature women, and knowing how to make men feel most comfortable and effortless...

Before each session, Su Ting would secretly tell herself that Qin Ling was sleeping next door, and she had to hold back and not make a sound.

But... I couldn't help it, I just couldn't help it...

In those days, many sixteen or seventeen-year-olds went to factories as apprentices. Because of her poor family background, Qin Ling could only go to Su Ting's group as a handyman, not even an apprentice.

Although this odd job is the lowest level, it can be converted into a permanent position, which is not what Niu Dazhuang cares about.

Now that Qinling has a work unit, he no longer needs to respond to the national call to go to the mountains and countryside.

Now that the little cabbage has grown into a beautiful young woman, if we let her out, she'll definitely be taken advantage of.

Qinling is already sixteen, and Niu Shurong and Zhao Xinmei should be around ten years old by now. It's time to appear before them more often.

At the very least, you can become a familiar face, just like when you first met Qin Ling. Give her a few pieces of candy and help her deal with the boy who was bullying her. That will win her favor!

As for Zhou Xiaobai, let fate decide. Niu Dazhuang won't bother with anything more for a pretty girl like you now.

Zhou Xiaobai is different from Milan and Yu Beibei.

They are children of military families, not in the same social circle as them, and they wouldn't have any interaction with them in their daily lives.

Thinking of Yu Beibei reminded me of Sha Zhu's current wife, Liang Ladi'er.

Unfortunately, Liang Ladi is already a mother of three or four children, so Niu Dazhuang isn't very interested anymore.

Liang Ladi and Yu Beibei both have deep-set eyes and big eyes; women like this are likely to produce exceptional beauties.

Yu Beibei is like that; it's a pity that Niu Dazhuang can't hold onto a woman like her, since she's already gone abroad. Where else can he find someone?

One Monday in September, Niu Dazhuang took Qinling on his bicycle. At first, he rode his bicycle side by side with Su Ting.

Qin Ling wrapped one arm around Niu Dazhuang's waist: "Big brother, let her go first. I already said I don't want anyone to know about my relationship with her."

"Xiaoling, why bother!"

"Or you could put me down and I'll walk there myself."

Niu Dazhuang turned around Qinling and had to slow down: "Sister Ting, you go first, this little girl is causing trouble again!"

Su Ting stopped her bicycle, turned around and asked impatiently, "Qin Ling, what are you going to do now?"

"I don't want to go to work with you. You go first, we'll be there shortly."

Su Ting's chest heaved with anger. She took a deep breath and silently prayed, "This is my own child, my own child."

He hopped on his bicycle and stormed off.

"Xiaoling, didn't you two make up? Why are you fighting again?"

"She always stops me from being nice to you, so of course I get angry." At this point, the "nice" Qin Ling was referring to wasn't the kind of "nice" that you'd say, it was just a simple "good relationship."

"Ugh, I can't do anything with you. I'm leaving."

After seeing him off at the gate, Qin Ling walked through the gate and then turned around to gesture for Niu Dazhuang to go back. This time, Niu Dazhuang rode his bicycle back to his workplace.

With the Qinling issue resolved, Niu Dazhuang felt much happier.

Good things come in pairs. When I got home from get off work that evening, there was someone in my house who looked familiar yet strange.

Niu Dazhuang pretended not to recognize her and asked, "Meiru, is this Jingru?"

Jingru wasn't as shy as Meiru was when she first arrived. "I arrived this afternoon, and Brother Da Niu had already left work."

"Hmm, it seems Meiru has already told you. Then I won't say any more. Since you're here, stay for a while and let Meiru show you around for a few days."

"My dad said that once I'm here, I can't go back. He wants my sisters to find me a good husband in the city."

Niu Dazhuang thought to himself, "I haven't explained this to this little seventh brother yet. But I don't need to worry about it. With Xue Ru and Mei Ru around, I'm not afraid you'll run away."

"Okay, until you find a good husband's family to live with!"

"Well, I won't stay for free; I'll help with the housework."

"Haha, it's fine if you stay for free, my family can still support you. Your eighth sister hasn't come back yet?"

"She said before she left that her workplace was doing inventory checks today, so she'd be working late. I'll pick up the kids later." Meiru has now taken over Xueru's role, taking care of the housework.

Meiru is beautiful and even more meticulous than Xueru; she manages the house perfectly.

After Ding Qiunan's incident, Qin Xueru also stopped staying at home and insisted on going to work, claiming that out of sight, out of mind.

There was nothing else Niu Dazhuang could do, so he found her a temporary job, since he wasn't counting on her to support the family anyway.

After starting work, Qin Xueru had more contact with people outside the workplace, and she talked more. Every day when she came home, she would talk about things that happened at her workplace.

There are families like the Niu family, but they are not as greedy as Niu Dazhuang, whose men often seek out other men for support.

When I got back, I told Meiru all about these things.

Meiru took Jingru to pick up the children, while Niu Dazhuang, with a cigarette ring in his mouth, went to Su Ting's house openly.

"Xiaoling, how was your first day at work?"

"It's great. The older colleagues at work are very friendly to me. It's much better than when I was in school."

Su Ting opened her mouth slightly, but swallowed the words that were about to come out.

"Sister Ting, Xiaoling is very shrewd; she won't be fooled by appearances. What do you think, Xiaoling?"

"Of course, I'm not stupid. I'll do whatever you tell me to do. Don't even think about tricking me into doing something bad."

"Your group might get filmed performing downstairs next week. Be careful when you go, especially with Ma Yongli from your group. Don't let his decent appearance fool you, he's got a lot of tricks up his sleeve!"

I know he's had affairs with several women. You've been fooled by his sweet talk.

"Ma Yongli? Who's that?" It was the first day there, and Qinling hadn't even met everyone yet.

"That's right, the 'Little Ma' they're talking about!"

"Oh, you mean him? Don't worry, he's not my type. He's a sissy-looking guy with a chin so sharp you could use it as a shovel."

"When performing in the countryside, the accommodations are definitely not good. Don't go out at night if you don't have anything to do, and the same goes for female colleagues. If something happens, I'll regret it to death," Niu Dazhuang quickly added.

"Dazhuang, this shouldn't be a problem. The deputy commander in charge is strict and usually won't let them go out on their own."

"Oh, I really don't know about that. Anyway, just be careful."
