Time Travel: My Comfortable Life After Going to the Countryside

"I do, Liu Xiangyang." As soon as Le Qi finished speaking, a blush spread from her face to her neck. (Other parts were covered by her clothes and couldn't be seen.)

"I mean I'm willing... I'm willing to cook for Bingbing. Liu Xiangyang, I'll go cook for Bingbing first."

The four of them finished their meal in an awkward atmosphere. Liu Xiangyang couldn't help but say that he had to go back to feed the rabbits and then fled.

The three women were whispering to each other in the bedroom.

When Liu Xiangyang got home, he fed the rabbits first. The mother rabbit's belly was already swollen, and in about 20 days she would have her first litter of baby rabbits. Maybe then, the rabbit farming business would be established.

Liu Xiangyang returned to his bedroom, took a gold bar from his spatial storage, and spent over an hour using his ability to decompose and fuse to make a gold ring. He also engraved the words "Xiang Bing" on the ring face.

This is the special gift that Liu Xiangyang just mentioned to Xue Bingbing.

After finishing the ring, Liu Xiangyang went to the kitchen to boil water, then returned to the kang (a heated brick bed) to write back to his parents and sister. In his letter, he told them that he was doing well there, eating and sleeping well. He didn't mention Xue Bingbing's matter, fearing that his mother would come over immediately.

The letter from the female classmate with the amazing figure was simple; she mentioned her recent situation and said that when she had the chance to go back, they could all hang out together.

Ning Yurou lives in the next county, and she doesn't know if she'll have the chance to go there since she became an inspector. Liu Xiangyang didn't reply to her request for his own words, but just told her to get a set of high school textbooks and read them whenever she had free time.

If we're truly destined to meet, then let's meet again in Beijing for the college entrance exams three years from now.

After Liu Xiangyang finished replying to the letter, he heard the sound of the courtyard gate being locked. Then he saw Xue Bingbing run in. The two were in the midst of their blissful intimacy. Their meeting was like a collision of planets, and their passion was so intense that it was only because the kang (a heated brick bed) was strong that it could withstand the impact; otherwise, an ordinary bed would have collapsed from the shock.

After their lovemaking, Liu Xiangyang gently caressed Xue Bingbing with both hands, prolonging her afterglow.

After Xue Bingbing calmed down, the two embraced and whispered to each other. Liu Xiangyang took the gold ring and slipped it onto Xue Bingbing's left and right ring fingers.

"Bingbing, this is my gift to you. Do you like it?"

As Xue Bingbing watched Liu Xiangyang slip the ring onto her ring finger, tears streamed down her face. She rolled over and straddled him…

After another rain cloud passed, Liu Xiangyang picked up Xue Bingbing, and the two sat in the bathtub to let Xue Bingbing recover her strength.

The next morning at the village office.

Zhang Tiejun: "I have some good news to share with everyone. Didn't Liu Xiangyang catch two spies? The commendation meeting was held yesterday, and our village is definitely going to be recognized as an advanced village this year. Each family will receive a pound and two jin of mixed flour as a reward."

Upon hearing that there would be a reward, everyone cheered and shouted a few times.

"It's already the end of August, and there are only two weeks left until the autumn harvest. Those who have things to do should take care of them in these two weeks, and those who don't should also adjust their mindset to prepare for the upcoming autumn harvest."

"In addition, a new batch of educated youth will arrive next week. Xie Zhiyong and Luo Lan, you should also make preparations."

"Yes, village chief, we will definitely do our job well," Xie Zhiyong and Luo Lan replied.

"Okay, let's get to work then."

As soon as Zhang Tiejun finished speaking, everyone went to work under the leadership of the team leader.

On the way, Li Jianjun's wife approached Liu Xiangyang and said, "Liu, I have something to tell you. My daughter is studying at a nursing school in Harbin and will come back during the autumn harvest. I was thinking that since you don't have a boyfriend yet, you two can meet up then."

"Auntie, I'm still young. My mom won't let me get married so early."

"Then let's date for now, and get married when we're ready."

At this moment, Aunt Zhang next to her said, "I also have a granddaughter, Liu Zhiqing. She does all the housework. She's very capable and has a beautiful face. She's sure to give birth to a son. Why don't I call her over to meet you?"

"Aunt Zhang, how can you be like this? You should at least have some sense of order."

"Didn't Liu Zhiqing refuse to agree? Why can't I say it?"

Taking advantage of the moment when the two started arguing, Liu Xiangyang quickly slipped away.

At noon, while Liu Xiangyang and his three companions were eating, the three women were teasing Liu Xiangyang.

Le Yao: "Liu Xiangyang, you've become the darling of all the aunties and grandmas these days. They're all trying to introduce you to potential wives. Which one have you taken a fancy to?"

"Didn't I tell you last time that I've got my eye on all three of you? Which of you will marry me?"

After another round of playful banter, they talked about what Village Chief Zhang had said that morning about the upcoming autumn harvest. They had heard from the older educated youth that the autumn harvest would be much more tiring than the current one, and they wondered if they could persevere.

"The main problem is that we don't have any meat to eat, so we're not getting enough nutrition and we feel really tired. Tomorrow we'll go to the county town to pick up the package that was sent from home, and then I'll go buy some weapons."

"I'm going into the mountains to get some meat, otherwise your bodies won't be able to handle it."

Xue Bingbing: "Won't that be dangerous?"

"I don't go very deep inside, I just hunt some rabbits and pheasants."

"Then we'll ask the village chief for leave this afternoon."

The next morning, the four of them took a horse-drawn carriage to the county town.

Upon arriving at the post office, Liu Xiangyang presented his educated youth certificate, collected the package, and touched it; it should be the quilt his mother had made for him when he left.

The four of them then mailed out the letter they had written.

After receiving the money with her educated youth certificate, Wang Weihong sent 50 yuan to Liu Xiangyang, Xue Bingbing's maternal grandmother sent her 15 yuan, and Le Qi and Le Yao's family also sent 10 yuan.

The three girls cried when they saw the amount. Xue Bingbing cried because her grandmother had been saving money and sending her money. Le Qi and Le Yao cried because their father had been defeated and their family property had been confiscated. This was the last time their mother had sent them money.

I comforted them for a while, but there was no other way. We could only try to get through these two or three years.

Liu Xiangyang asked the three men to wait for him at the post office, and then went to Xinhua Bookstore to buy a gun. However, the clerk told him that he needed to get a gun license from the Public Security Bureau before they could sell it to him.

I checked my watch and it was still early, so I went to Lu Dajun's place to get a gun license before I could buy an Eagle A16-4 double-barreled shotgun. The price was 200 yuan, but in order to conceal my lack of space, I had no choice but to pay the money.

Each bullet cost one cent, so I spent another ten cents to buy a hundred bullets.

Of the 1,500 yuan I smuggled from the black market, I only have a little over 900 left. Looks like I need to find a way to make some money.

Liu Xiangyang carried a package, put the gun in a basket, and the group returned to Dongsheng Village. As soon as they entered the village, they were surrounded by the villagers again.

"Liu Zhiqing, what did you buy this time?"

"Auntie, this is a cotton quilt my mom sent me for winter. I don't have any money to buy anything, and I'm even going hungry."

"You never tell the truth, you're dishonest."

"The news of Liu, the educated youth, has spread far and wide. The county rewarded you with fifty yuan, enough for you to marry five wives."

"Liu, the educated youth, I have a girl here..."

"Aunt Wang, stop! My mom won't let me get married so early. She just wrote a letter." After saying that, Liu Xiangyang picked up his things and ran faster.

Seeing that something was wrong, Xue Bingbing and the others realized that the older women had lost Liu Xiangyang as their target and were about to turn to them, so they quickly ran after them as well.

Aunt Wang: "I wonder which girl is lucky enough to marry Liu Zhiqing."

"They built a house and made furniture as soon as they arrived, so their family's conditions must be good. And when I passed by the other day, I saw that they were hardworking; they had planted vegetables, and the firewood rack was full."
