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

Niu Dazhuang understands women very well, especially girls with pretty faces, amazing figures, and a bit of education. He has a little bit of arrogance about them.

Men shouldn't be too eager for young girls like this. They should offer small favors and set conditions, then patiently wait for the fish to bite.

Back then, Yu Beibei and Milan were no exception. Men, in fact, were in no way inferior to women.

After saying goodbye to Zhao Xinmei, Niu Dazhuang didn't go back to Qin Huairu's place. Under the blazing sun, he rode back to Niujiazhuang in a flash.

The only woman who can still arouse Niu Dazhuang's interest like this now is Qin Ling. It's not that other women are bad, it's just that they lack that initial passion; those who know, know.

Su Ting was on high alert and it was difficult to make a move from home. Qin Ling wanted to go out for a walk, so Niu Dazhuang reluctantly agreed to help her escape.

Niu Dazhuang arrived at the elementary school north of the threshing ground and whistled loudly. Qinling then came out of the classroom.

Seeing that it was Niu Dazhuang, he didn't say anything, but turned around and said a few words to the new female educated youth. Then, with her two little braids swinging, she ran over happily: "Let's go!"

Today, Da Chuan and San He were on guard at the village entrance. They watched enviously as Niu Dazhuang led Qin Ling away and disappeared in a flash.

"Sanhe, I told you long ago, don't even think about Niu Dazhuang's women. Now look what happened, you're hurt!"

"No way, isn't Qinling's mother Dazhuang's woman... She probably just took Qinling to the county town to buy some things."

"Stop comforting yourself. He's already taken all seven of the Qin family's beauties. He's only missing one, Qin Ling. Back then, that kid Deshui even went on a blind date with Qin Yueru. And what happened in the end? He still ended up with no choice but to marry her."

"That wild donkey is good in every other way, except don't try to steal his women. If he sets his sights on someone, he won't show any mercy."

"Oh! That can't be right. I can understand accepting sisters, since they're all of the same generation! But Qin Ling is a generation younger than him..."

"Who is this 'Big Wild Donkey'? Don't try to understand his bottom line based on our own thoughts."

I think he'd go after any woman except his immediate family. Do you know what Su Ting and Su Wan used to do?

Su Wan used to be the second-in-command at Da Yelu's company. He was just a driver at the transportation company. Just imagine how much guts he had to sleep with the second-in-command!

I advise you to give up on that idea. Just ask your sister-in-law to introduce you to someone from her family home!

"Alas! It's both sad and fortunate that our Niu family has produced such a person!" Sanhe sighed helplessly.

"What's so sad about it? Is it just because of the Qinling Mountains?"

"No, I'm not the kind of person who can't let go. Besides, there's nothing between Qin Ling and me, it's just a secret crush. What saddens me is that we're from the same family, but look at the life that Brother Dazhuang is living."

They change their girlfriends every day, and don't repeat them even after a month. And look at you... it's not just you, except for Big Zhuang, all of you with women are pretty much the same."

Da Chuan patted him on the shoulder: "Brother Sanhe, there is a saying passed down from the older generation: there is no suffering that cannot be endured, and no blessing that cannot be enjoyed."

Before I got married, I didn't understand either, but now I do. Speaking from experience, let me tell you, this kind of "blessing" isn't something just any man can enjoy. Take that wild donkey for example; let alone supporting a whole bed full of women and two beds full of kids...

"How much food and money do we need? Just look at all these women, they don't even get a day off for a month. Can your little body handle that?" He glanced sideways in the direction of Ye Chunmei's house.

"What's there to worry about? I can just rest!"

"You really are a greenhorn! Women, especially women who have had children, have even bigger cravings than men. If you can't satisfy them, they'll cheat on you with someone else. What are you going to do then?"

"Oh, is that so? I think young girls usually blush when talking to strange men, so why do they change after getting married and having children?"

"You're so stupid! You haven't seen anyone else, but you haven't seen your own sister-in-law! When she and your brother were first dating, she wasn't exactly a refined young lady. Look at her now... tsk tsk, Erhe's life is pretty much the same as mine. Neither of us brothers should laugh at the other!"

These two guys are having a great time chatting!

Niu Dazhuang was quite happy to bring Qinling with him. When they arrived in the county town, they went directly to the courtyard outside Dongguan, which they had bought in Bijia Mountain in 57 when they came to build the reservoir.

I only spent 600 yuan to buy this yard, but I've had my neighbors take care of it for over 100 yuan in the past ten years.

"Hey! Big brother, the environment here is a bit like your old house! They're both backed by mountains with springs flowing down from them. I wonder if there are any caves in the back mountains."

"Have you been to my old family home?"

"Of course I went. Don't forget, I'm the only teacher in the village. Visiting students' homes is something teachers have to do."

I've been to the homes of all the children from the village who come to my classes. I've been to your old house the most, because you have the most children there. Almost half of my students are your offspring! Did you rent this house for me?

"No, I bought it more than ten years ago when I came here to help build the reservoir. I haven't lived here much. I asked the neighbors to look after it for me. You can stay here tonight. Tomorrow morning, you can take the early bus to Yanqing to see your father. Stay there for a while and experience the life of a real farmer."

It won't take long, just until the end of the year, then we can talk again.

"Yes, that's fine. My classmates always write to me about how tough it is to go to the countryside, but I haven't really experienced it myself."

"These past six months have been entirely on your own. I'll be going on a long trip and won't be in Beijing for the next six months. What gift would you like? I'll bring it back for you."

"Are you going to Hong Kong again? Big brother, tell me the truth, whether you're going on a secret mission or not, I promise I won't tell anyone."

Niu Dazhuang flicked her nose with his right hand: "You have quite the imagination. It's not some secret mission, it's my own business. Now that I'm telling you, you'll understand."

"How come I don't understand? I think I have a higher education level than you. Your elementary school diploma was obtained through training after you started working, while I graduated from five years of primary school and three years of junior high school."

Niu Dazhuang smiled and said, "Then let me ask you a name: have you heard of Finance?"

"Finance?...What does that mean?"

"I'll bring you a set of books by the end of this year, and you'll understand after studying them."

When it came to books, Qin Ling's eyes lit up: "Sure, but I prefer listening to songs and records."

Niu Dazhuang slapped his forehead: "Wait a minute, I have something good for you. You tidy up the house first, I'll be back in half an hour."

"Oh, hurry back!"
