Time Travel: My Comfortable Life After Going to the Countryside

"Liu Xiangyang hasn't cleared the kang table yet, don't waste the food."

The romantic atmosphere was broken, so Liu Xiangyang could only move the kang table off the kang and go back to the kang to hug Leqi.

Leqi gripped Liu Xiangyang's arm tightly: "Liu Xiangyang, I will never regret falling in love with you."

"I won't let you regret this," Liu Xiangyang said firmly, looking into Le Qi's eyes.

Suddenly, a strong wind picked up outside, making the courtyard gate rattle loudly.

After several rounds of lovemaking, Leqi closed her eyes and fell asleep. It took her a while to open her eyes and wake up.

Leqi looked as if she had been pulled out of the water; her hair was soaked with sweat and clung tightly to her face.

"What Bingbing said was true. Go find her."

Liu Xiangyang pulled Leqi into his arms, stroking her fair back with both hands: "I'm fine, I'll just hold you while I sleep tonight."

"But how am I supposed to sleep like this?"

Liu Xiangyang: "..."

Leqi was so tired that her eyelids were practically glued together, so she ignored him, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.

The next day, before dawn, Liu Xiangyang got up and went outside to find that the temperature had dropped a lot and the wind was blowing. He went back to his yard, put on an extra layer of clothing, changed the rabbit's hay, and then brushed his teeth and washed his face.

"Sigh, even if I'm not working, I have to get up this early. I hope it snows soon."

Liu Xiangyang practiced a set of boxing moves, and then it was dawn. He heard a chattering sound outside the house. When he opened the courtyard gate, he saw that Zuo Qingqing and the others had come to make breakfast.

"You're off work today, why don't you sleep in a little longer?"

The group smiled wryly and said, "Do you think we don't want to sleep? Our biological clocks haven't adjusted yet. We woke up on our own before dawn, and since we were a little hungry, we went to cook something to eat."

Jiang Xiaowen: "We arranged with Village Chief Zhang to start building the house this morning. It's better to get up early; it wouldn't be good to keep people waiting."

Liu Xiangyang: "Then you guys go ahead and get busy, I'm going out for a walk."

He Xiaoqin: "Thank you, Liu Xiangyang. This was supposed to be your home, but you had to go outside. I'm so sorry. How about we treat you to breakfast?"

"Alright, you don't have much food left, and I have a big appetite. I don't want to eat all your rations. I'll head out now."

When they arrived at Leqi's yard, they saw Xue Bingbing cooking in the kitchen and Le Yao brushing her teeth and washing her face. Le Yao blushed when she saw Liu Xiangyang.

Liu Xiangyang: "Are you sober yet? Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"

Le Yao's face turned even redder. She had been faking being drunk yesterday; it was all something the three of them had planned together.

He could only stammer, "I'm sober now, go check on my sister."

Liu Xiangyang leaned close to Le Yao's ear and whispered, "Is it your turn today?"

Le Yao blushed so much that her ears turned red, and she ran into Bai Jie's room without even washing her face.

Liu Xiangyang went into the kitchen and hugged Xue Bingbing from behind: "Thank you."

Xue Bingbing stopped what she was doing, her expression changed, and finally she said with a smile, "This is our own choice, and I hope I didn't make the wrong one."

"I promise you, I will never let you down in this lifetime!"

"Go see Leqi. You're so heartless, both to me and to her. She's still upset."

"Who can resist your beauty? I'm going to go see Leqi."

When Liu Xiangyang entered the room, he saw that Le Qi's eyes were closed, but her eyeballs were moving under her eyelids. He didn't call out to her, but kissed her from her forehead, eyes, nose all the way down to her delicate red lips.

"Does it still hurt? Look at this!"

Liu Xiangyang took out one of the ten bottles of face cream he had bought last time and waved it in front of Leqi.

"It hurt a little just now, but it doesn't hurt as much now." Leqi opened her eyes and looked into Liu Xiangyang's eyes.

She smiled when she saw the face cream. She already had face cream herself, but the fact that Liu Xiangyang gave it to her made it different.

"It seems my kiss has a healing effect. Let me heal you a bit more."

He kissed those red lips.

"Ugh, ugh, ugh, wait a minute, I haven't brushed my teeth yet."

"Beautiful women don't have bad breath..."

Xue Bingbing poked her head in: "Let's kiss after we eat, it'll get cold if we don't eat soon."

Leqi: "It's all your fault! Bingbing is going to laugh at me to death!"

"If she dares, I'll help you get revenge on her."

Leqi: "You got off easy this time."

Liu Xiangyang: "Then you should give me a discount."

Liu Xiangyang cupped Leqi's face and gave her another passionate French kiss.

After everyone finished breakfast, Zhang Tielu arrived with his men.

Zhang Tielu first consulted with Liu Xiangyang about the size and layout of the rooms. There would be two rooms: the outer reception room would be larger, around 56 square meters, with a shed to be built outside; the inner room would be smaller, around 30 or 40 square meters, and both would have a kang (heated brick bed).

After discussing with Liu Xiangyang, Zhang Tiejun called over six people to start digging the foundation.

Zhang Tiejun then found Zuo Qingqing and Jiang Xiaowen. Zuo Qingqing and Jiang Xiaowen had the same layout as Xue Bingbing and her group: four people in two rooms and a kitchen, enclosing a courtyard. On average, each person paid twenty yuan. Bai Jie's share was initially paid by the three of them, and they would pay her back slowly later.

Liu Xiangyang rode his bicycle back from the state-run hardware store in the county town. The village kids followed him in a line, while the adults, who loved watching the excitement, asked Liu Xiangyang all sorts of questions along the way.

"Inspector Liu, I'm getting married tomorrow. Can I borrow this bicycle to pick up my bride in XX village?" This person wanted to show off by borrowing the bicycle.

"Liu, I need to go to the county town tomorrow. Can I borrow your car?" This was because he didn't want to pay Old Wang for the car.

"Liu Xiangyang, can I ride it later? I've never ridden a bicycle before." This is shameless.

"Inspector Liu, my daughter is at home. I told her about you, and she's willing to marry you. Our family doesn't want any dowry." This person was desperate to marry their daughter to Liu Xiangyang.

"Fellow villagers, this bicycle belongs to the work unit, not me personally, so I need to go to the bureau to find out if it's for personal use. Aunt Wang, my mother said I'm still young and won't let me get married so early, or she'll break my legs. So let your daughter find someone else, don't delay her."

Amidst the chattering discussions, Liu Xiangyang arrived at his yard. The foundation opposite was almost finished, and it should be completed today. The foundation stones and adobe bricks had already been delivered.

The progress on another plot of land, about 20 meters away, is about the same.

Many former educated youth and villagers were watching the spectacle. When they saw Liu Xiangyang riding his bicycle back, the jealousy in the eyes of the former educated youth was enough to burn Liu Xiangyang to ashes.

Liu Xiangyang offered cigarettes to the villagers who were digging the foundation, exchanged pleasantries for a while, lit one for himself, and parked his bicycle in his yard.

I went to check on the rabbits and found that they had already been fed hay, so I left them alone.

At this moment, Xue Bingbing pushed open the door and walked to the bicycle: "You're back. I've never ridden a bicycle before."

"There aren't many people like that, so I'll teach you." The two entered the room.

"Are you satisfied with the gift from last night?"
