Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

When Jia Dongxu saw Bang Geng actually performing a spirit summoning ritual like his mother, his face darkened as he looked at Qin Huairu and asked in a deep voice:

"Qin Huairu, what's wrong with Banggeng? I asked you to stay home and take care of the child, and this is how you're teaching Banggeng?"

Qin Huairu quickly pulled Banggeng up from the ground and whispered something in Banggeng's ear. Banggeng immediately stopped making a fuss.

She looked at Jia Dongxu and said with a wronged expression, "Dongxu, it's because Banggeng always sees Mom summoning spirits that I learned it from her."

Upon hearing this, Jia Dongxu looked at Jia Zhangshi and advised, "Mom, please don't keep summoning spirits like this. Look at what Banggeng has become. He's so young, and he's already learned how to summon spirits. What will he be like when he grows up?"

Instead of getting angry, Jia Zhangshi grinned and laughed. She hugged the stick and gave it a big kiss on the face.

"Bang Geng is so smart, he learned Grandma's special trick so quickly. But Bang Geng, you can't perform the soul summoning on your grandma and your dad in the future, understand? If anyone offends our family, you go to their house to summon their soul."

Banggeng opened his arms from Jia Zhangshi's embrace and said with a look of disgust, "Grandma, your mouth stinks."

"Why."

Seeing this, Jia Dongxu sighed helplessly. He couldn't do anything about how his mother wanted to teach the dog.

......

The Intermediate People's Court, the Wang family.

Qin Jingru prepared the bathwater and shouted, "Brother Wang Feng, the hot water is ready, come and take a bath!"

Wang Feng went to the shower room, took off his clothes, and entered the large bathtub.

"Jingru, didn't your period end? Why don't you come in and give me a back rub?"

Wang Feng looked at Qin Jingru with burning desire, wishing he could devour her whole.

"Um."

Qin Jingru blushed, but still agreed. Wang Feng was so good to her, so of course she had to try her best to meet all of his requests.

Qin Jingru entered the bathtub, and Wang Feng hugged her and rubbed against her.

"Oh dear, Brother Wang Feng, stop rubbing against me, it's so itchy!" Qin Jingru said, blushing.

"Hahaha."

Now that Qin Jingru's relatives have left, Wang Feng is no longer afraid of not being able to cool down after getting a sore throat, and he has become bolder.

However, the weather was cold now, and the hot water cooled down quickly, so Wang Feng only played in the bathtub with Qin Jingru for a short while before coming out after taking a bath.

Right after taking a shower, Wang Feng couldn't wait to drag Qin Jingru back to the room for a passionate and intense battle.

After two consecutive battles, Qin Jingru could no longer hold on, and the two embraced each other and fell into a deep sleep.

......

Early the next morning.

Qin Jingru made shredded pork noodles for breakfast. As Wang Feng ate the delicious noodles, he couldn't help but sigh.

Made with premium flour and featuring shredded pork noodles, combined with Qin Jingru's top-notch culinary skills, this dish is absolutely delicious.

Realizing he had already eaten all the food in the space, Wang Feng said to Qin Jingru:

"Jingru, do you know how to make braised pork?"

Qin Jingru nodded her head: "Yes, why?"

"Jingru, it's the weekend in a couple of days, let's go to No. 28 Courtyard. I'll prepare more meat and rice, so you can cook more dishes for me, like braised pork and red-braised pork, make more of everything," Wang Feng said.

"Yes, no problem."

Qin Jingru didn't ask any further questions. Since Brother Wang Feng didn't explain, she knew that he didn't want her to know.

Wang Feng looked at Qin Jingru in surprise and asked, "Jingru, aren't you going to ask me why I need so much food?"

Qin Jingru blinked her big eyes, smiled, and shook her head.

"Hehe, it's nothing really, just helping a friend out. You just need to do it," Wang Feng explained with a smile.

"Mmm," Qin Jingru replied with a sweet smile.

After finishing breakfast and chores, Qin Jingru saw that it was almost time, so she pushed her bicycle out the door.

Today, Yi Zhonghai, Jia Dongxu, and Yan Jiecheng did not eat at the third canteen, and Qin Jingru was unable to get a spoon from them.

Back in the house in the afternoon, Wang Feng and Qin Jingru had dinner. After Qin Jingru washed Wang Feng's feet, the two had another passionate and intense lovemaking session.

The next day, Qin Jingru went to work as usual. Today was Saturday, and after working one more day, it would be her rest time.

This morning, Sha Zhu ate two cornbread buns at home. At ten o'clock in the morning, he put on his steel mill uniform and went out.

After such a long period of rest, his injury has basically healed, and he can flip the wok without any problem.

He only has 8 yuan left in his pocket. If he doesn't go back to work, he won't even be able to afford his living expenses.

Upon entering the steel rolling mill, Sha Zhu headed straight for the third canteen.

Upon arriving at the kitchen of the third canteen, Liu Lan saw Sha Zhu and sneered:

"Hey, isn't this our head chef, Silly Zhu? What's up? Your injury's healed?"

Liu Lan's voice was loud, and as soon as she spoke, everyone in the kitchen knew that Sha Zhu had returned to work, and they all looked at Sha Zhu.

When Qin Jingru saw Sha Zhu, she didn't go up to greet him. Instead, she picked up her enamel mug and leisurely drank her tea.

"Silly Zhu, it's no longer your turn to be a waiter. Since you're here to work, come and chop vegetables with us."

"Silly Zhu, you're a master chef, why don't you come and help me cook this big batch of dishes? Don't waste your culinary skills."

Hearing the sarcastic remarks from the kitchen staff, Sha Zhu glared at them fiercely. He then approached Qin Jingru and said:

"Qin Jingru, I challenge you to a cooking contest. Whoever wins will be in charge of entertaining guests from now on. Do you dare to challenge me to a cooking contest?"

Qin Jingru scoffed, "Silly Zhu, are you stupid? Why would I compete with you? Even if I don't compete, I'll still be the one doing the hospitality. Even if I win, what good will it do me?"

"Qin Jingru, what do you want in return for a cooking contest with me?" Sha Zhu said through gritted teeth.

Qin Jingru looked at Sha Zhu with disdain, waved her hand, and sneered, "You should just stick to cooking big pot dishes. I won't get any benefit from winning, so I'm not going to compete with you in cooking."

Sha Zhu gritted his teeth: "Qin Jingru, if you won't compete, I'll go find Director Li. I refuse to believe that with my excellent cooking skills, Director Li won't let me serve as a waiter?"

With that, Sha Zhu stormed out of the kitchen and headed straight for the factory manager's office.

After Sha Zhu left, Liu Lan covered her mouth and laughed.

"Hahaha, Jingru, why don't you compete with Shazhu? If you ask me, you should compete with him. If he loses, he can go to the workshop."

"Yes, Jingru, there's no use for Shazhu now that he's back in the cafeteria. He's just an eyesore all the time. We might as well think of a way to send him to the workshop instead," Aunt Li chimed in.

Qin Jingru nodded: "Okay, if he really calls Director Li over later, I'll have a cooking contest with him. Sha Zhu doesn't shower all day and looks like a fifty-year-old man. It's quite creepy to look at. The workshop is more suitable for him."
