Courtyard House: The Chef's Intelligence System

Sha Zhu's wedding was a complete success, and the Qin family's relatives from the countryside were very satisfied.

We've gained both face and substance; with a relative like Sha Zhu, we'll have a place to rest when we come to the city.

It's not that they want to take advantage, but why do they call themselves relatives if they don't even visit each other?

Even if Sha Zhu's family is very poor and struggling, they will still come, not to take advantage of them, but to bring them some things to help them out.

It's about helping each other out, not to mention that Sha Zhu's family is so well-off. They don't get many opportunities to come to the city, and it's not easy for them to come even once. It wouldn't hurt for them to come and visit.

Sha Zhu is a warm-hearted person. Anyone who doesn't scheme against him and wants to get along well with him and lend a hand is fine with him.

That night, during their wedding night, Xu Damao brought a bunch of boys to eavesdrop, only to be doused with a bucket of water by Shazhu.

Once no one was around to disturb him, Shazhu couldn't hold back any longer and pounced on him to bite him.

Five minutes later, Sha Zhu lay expressionless on the bed, his heart filled with tears...

Qin Huairu's pretty face flushed slightly, and she felt a little unwell, but after all, she was a country girl who had worked in the fields for many years and was physically strong.

Seeing her husband looking somewhat dejected, she offered words of comfort:

"Zhu Zi, my mother said that everyone is like this the first time. You will improve with more practice, just like your cooking skills."

Sha Zhu immediately perked up upon hearing this. This is exactly what it means to be bad at something but love to play.

Li Jiuzhou ignored Sha Zhu and went to work. It was best not to disturb them during their newlywed bliss.

The neighbors in the courtyard were the same; after the excitement, they went back to work or went to their jobs.

It's impossible to linger in yesterday's joy; we all have to toil and struggle to make a living.

In fact, people living in Beijing still have a sense of superiority.

Even if life is tough, it's still better than other places, after all, it's the capital!

Even uneducated people know the advantages of the capital city; it's a very simple truth, and no one needs to say anything more about it.

Life went on in this routine.

Li Jiuzhou's daytime work is very easy, so he can only devote his energy to his wife at night.

Bingbing is becoming more and more charming; she's simply a stunner.

Clothes in this era were relatively traditional and had a limited color palette, yet even with such an outfit, Bingbing still looked remarkably good.

Not to mention their private time together in the room at night.

Li Jiuzhou often couldn't control himself. He had secretly vowed last night that he would never come tomorrow.

But when the time came, I still lacked the willpower to control myself.

There weren't many forms of entertainment in those days.

These days, men in the countryside have even more energy. They work hard in the fields during the day and are exhausted, and they still have to work at night. They find joy in hardship, my darlings!

Bingbing didn't know how to restrain herself at all when the two were in private, and she often tempted them in various ways.

She didn't force him, but rather unintentionally tempted Li Jiuzhou by showing him her long, white legs and asking him to rub them, saying that her legs were sore from standing for so long.

want

What's even more amazing is that they like to grab things while sleeping.

Damn it, Li Jiuzhou can't stand it!

Li Jiuzhou's hard work paid off in the end, and Fan Bingbing became pregnant.

I was dry heaving while working in the textile factory, and it was quite severe.

After examining her, the factory doctor told her there was nothing wrong and that she was probably pregnant, and advised her to go to a larger hospital to confirm.

Fan Bingbing's face lit up with a happy smile after hearing this.

After getting home from get off work, I made dinner as usual and ate with my brother-in-law first, since Li Jiuzhou wouldn't be back until eight o'clock.

Li Jiuzhou returned around 8 o'clock, bringing two lunchboxes. They wouldn't be able to eat them that night, so they usually saved them for breakfast.

As soon as Li Jiuzhou entered the house, he saw his wife listening to the radio, but her expression was clearly not at all.

Bingbing's face immediately lit up with a smile when she saw him return. She stood up, pulled Li Jiuzhou to sit down, and poured him a glass of warm water.

"I have something to tell you."

"Good thing or bad thing?" Li Jiuzhou asked with a smile.

"Of course it's good news! I felt nauseous at the factory today, and the doctor examined me and said I might be pregnant, but I still need to go to a bigger hospital for a checkup!"

"Really?" Li Jiuzhou immediately stood up!

The noise was so loud that it startled Shanhe, who was doing his homework inside, out of the room.

Shanhe was overjoyed when he learned that his sister-in-law might be pregnant.

The Li family was overjoyed that they would have an heir.

"Hey, don't get agitated. Let's go to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow to confirm," Bingbing reassured her.

"Then I'll take tomorrow off and go with you. Nothing else matters."

Late at night, the couple lay snuggled together on the kang (a heated brick bed), Li Jiuzhou gently stroking Bing's lower abdomen, his eyes filled with loving tenderness.

Li Jiuzhou was extremely relaxed at this moment, when Bingbing started to get restless again and started grabbing at things.

Li Jiuzhou was both amused and exasperated.

"Honey, please stop, okay? You're pregnant now, I can't have any other ideas. Be good and stop playing around~"

Bingbing pouted in dissatisfaction:

"I'm going to play, and that's none of your business!"

"Damn it, Li Jiuzhou felt like dying. Pregnant women are very sensitive."

While you're torturing yourself, you're also torturing yourself.

The next day, the two went directly to the hospital for a checkup, and after the examination, it was confirmed that she was pregnant.

The couple was overjoyed. Li Jiuzhou didn't go home; he went straight to his father-in-law's house to share the good news.

Only my mother-in-law was home. Upon learning of her daughter's pregnancy, she was overjoyed, repeatedly exclaiming, "Thank goodness!"

When my father-in-law came home for lunch, he smiled when he was told that his daughter was pregnant.

After dinner, he pulled Li Jiuzhou back to his study to give him a few instructions. He didn't say anything else, just told him to take good care of his daughter and not to do anything he shouldn't do, or he wouldn't be spared!

Li Jiuzhou knew this was his father-in-law's reprimand. There were many things he shouldn't have done, and his father-in-law practically broke them down and explained them to him.

First, you must not have sexual intercourse, even after three months. Better safe than sorry!

Secondly, we need to ensure that our daughter is well-nourished and let Li Jiuzhou do more household chores to help her out.

Third, spend more time with your family and friends, and be aware of which other chaotic alleys in the Eight Great Hutongs should not be explored.

The implication is that Li Jiuzhou shouldn't take advantage of his daughter's pregnancy to find other women out of loneliness!

This is the bottom line. As a fellow man, I can understand, but this mistake must not be made.

Li Jiuzhou nodded repeatedly, vowing that he would never do anything to betray Bingbing.

He never intended to do it; it would be too despicable for him to go out and find another woman while his wife was pregnant, and he couldn't bring himself to do it.

After leaving his father-in-law's house, the couple went home. After Bingbing took a nap, Li Jiuzhou rode his bicycle to find his second uncle, Li Huaide.

Tell him the good news, that you're going to have a grandnephew.

Li Huaide was overjoyed when he found out, and slammed his fist on the office table, telling Li Jiuzhou to take good care of his niece-in-law.
