A courtyard house, equipped with a fishing system, living in an era.

After dinner, Xu Pingan locked the door and plunged into the space.

The six-acre plot of land is neither particularly large nor small.

After these past few months of upheaval, this place is no longer the barren wasteland it once was.

Although I've been busy with this and that lately, I haven't had time to fully immerse myself in this space.

But in the end, it's only about 4000 square meters of land, and half an hour a day is enough to make it look completely different.

The two acres of land at the northernmost edge of the space are teeming with chickens, ducks, and geese, yet they are separated from pigs, cattle, and sheep, each occupying its own territory.

They kept two cows, one male and one female.

Six pigs, one male and five females.

Four sheep, one male and three females.

Some were purchased at the very beginning, while others were added later when the space was expanded.

In fact, from the very beginning, Xu Ping'an wanted to equip the space with all the livestock.

However, the smell became too strong later on, so we just let it go.

It wasn't until this space was expanded that I remembered to start raising livestock again.

The southernmost acre of land is planted with all kinds of northern fruits.

That was the very first acre of land that Xu Ping'an owned.

Valuable medicinal herbs are also planted in some of the vacant areas under the trees.

The ginseng seeds that were planted at the beginning have actually sprouted.

Ginseng should ideally thrive in shady and cold environments, so it shouldn't be able to survive in a place where it's spring-like all year round.

But not only did it survive, it also grew quite well.

All I can say is that the space is amazing (voice cracks).

The positions on the left and right were, of course, specially designed by Xu Pingan.

The area in the middle used to build the space cabins will definitely remain unchanged in the future.

So if the space continues to expand, he will continue to move poultry and livestock northward!

After all, those trees in the south can't be moved.

The plan is to plant various fruit trees and bamboo around the cottage...

The foundation for the small house that Xu Pingan chose has just been laid!

After all, he was alone, working only in short, fragmented moments.

It took him more than a month just to lay the foundation.

Without excavators and concrete, Xu Pingan had no choice but to dig a section of the ground down and then use a stone rammer to compact it, hammering it down one pound at a time.

Then build a strip foundation with bricks and stones.

Over the past six months, Xu Ping'an took advantage of the demolition of city walls throughout Beijing to gradually consume tens of thousands of blue bricks into his spatial storage.

These bricks are old city bricks fired during the Ming and Qing dynasties. They have regular length, width and height ratios, extremely high density, and a very crisp sound when tapped.

It is many times better than the red bricks currently available on the market.

That's true. If you don't do a good job working for the royal family, you'll lose your head!

If things go wrong, the whole family could lose their heads...

So there's absolutely no truth to the claim of cutting corners!

Although Xu Pingan had finished his work on the literacy class these past few days.

However, there are no plans to start construction on this small space house for the time being.

He needs to set up the shed for the livestock first.

In the beginning, the cattle and sheep in this space were still small, so Xu Ping'an simply built a thatched hut to shelter them from the wind and rain.

But now, the two cows are almost as tall as a person, and the thatched huts that were originally used to make do are no longer enough to fool people...

We were reluctant to use the timber that we had gone through so much trouble to acquire.

Xu Pingan plans to build them a larger cowshed.

Anyway, the space is like spring all year round and it's not cold, so it's just enough to keep out the rain.

Over the next few days, Xu Pingan brought a batch of timber to the east courtyard to prepare to make some furniture himself, while also enjoying the melons in the courtyard.

Qin Huairu eventually went to the obstetrics and gynecology department of the Sixth Hospital to check her fertility.

What they found out when they investigated was that the Jia family was in even more chaos.

Qin Huairu is fine, in great health, and has a great appetite!

Qin Huairu went to the hospital for a checkup, of course not voluntarily.

Jia Zhangshi implied in her words that she was a hen that couldn't lay eggs.

Although Jia Dongxu consistently defended Qin Huairu, his words and actions conveyed an impression that his mother was pressuring him and that he was powerless to change her mind…

Qin Huairu is a very intelligent woman, but no matter how intelligent she is, she is still a naive 19-year-old girl.

The Jia family mother and son played the roles of good cop and bad cop, respectively, and had her completely under their control.

However, she herself was fine, but Jia Zhangshi had always wanted to have a grandson, so after returning, she began to relay the advice of the doctors at the Sixth Hospital, asking Jia Dongxu to also have his fertility checked!

These words caused quite a stir.

"You asked Dongxu to investigate, what problems could Dongxu possibly have?"

When Xu Ping'an heard Jia Zhangshi's angry roar, he was startled in the east courtyard.

Although he had often heard how fierce and powerful the former Jia Zhangshi was.

I never imagined that her voice could be so powerful and penetrating when it gets high.

"What problems could a grown man like him have? Isn't childbirth a woman's responsibility? You can't conceive yourself, yet you're blaming the man. How did the Jia family end up marrying such a jinx?"

Without taking a breath, Jia Zhangshi cursed for over ten minutes straight.

Qin Huairu's tears welled up in her eyes, and she bit her lip without saying a word.

Jia Dongxu waited until his mother finished scolding him before standing up, looking aggrieved.

"Mom, since the doctor said Huairu is fine, why don't I go see her another day..."

"What are you looking at?"

Jia Zhangshi raised her voice even louder, ignoring the neighbors gathered in the courtyard watching the commotion.

"Are you trying to make me angry because your mother has lived too long? You want to kill me with this? You're a grown man going to see a doctor for infertility, don't you have any shame? Do you still want to work at the steel mill? Do you want to be gossiped about behind your back and killed?"

Seeing Jia Dongxu speechless after being rebuked, he lowered his head, looking ashamed.

Jia Zhangshi looked at Qin Huairu with a fierce gaze in her triangular eyes.

"Let me tell you, Qin Huairu, if you can't give the Jia family a big, fat grandson by next year, you can get back to your Qin Family Village. We, the Jia family, don't raise hens that can't lay eggs!"

That's a pretty harsh statement.

Qin Huairu's shoulders trembled violently.

Qin Huairu's raised eyes gleamed with a fierce light.

When Jia Zhangshi saw this, she felt that she had been pushed a bit too far.

He quickly signaled to his son with his eyes, asking him to step in and comfort the person.

But at that moment, Jia Dongxu was looking down...

"The doctors at the Sixth Hospital all said that infertility isn't always the woman's problem; if the seed is bad, even the most fertile soil won't grow crops..."

Qin Huairu spoke with a wronged tone, tears streaming down her face. Though her tone was soft, her words were firm.

"Mom, if you really want a grandson, you'd better have Dongxu come with me to get checked out. If there's a problem, we can get treatment while we're still young... Otherwise..."

"Huai Ru, stop talking!"

Jia Dongxu quickly interrupted, came over and supported Qin Huairu's shoulders, trying to pull her into the house.

Qin Huairu just wanted to show weakness, not to lose face.

If it weren't for Jia Zhangshi's constant pushing and retaliating whenever she gained the upper hand, the neighbors wouldn't have had to come over to watch every argument.

Although the three members of the Jia family entered the house, the impact they had was still quite significant.

"Is the inability to have children related to the man?"

"I don't know. Didn't Huai Ru just say that a doctor from the Sixth Hospital told her?"

"If that's true, then what's going on with the Yi family?"

"Who knows..."

Xu Pingan listened, not knowing what to say.

He really wasn't involved in the whole thing.

After all, information is extremely limited in this era, and many things that everyone knew in the previous generation may not be known to people today.

Xu Pingan didn't plan to get involved in this matter, since Yi Zhonghai no longer posed a threat to him.

Unexpectedly, Lao Yi was also unlucky!

You can sit at home and still be plagued by misfortune coming from your neighbor's door!
