1940s: I supported my wife and sister-in-law by hunting.

Anyone who says they're not afraid and can deal with things swiftly from the start is just a fraud in novels.

It wasn't until he experienced it firsthand that Chen Gaoshan truly understood that when people are in extreme fear and tension, their legs can indeed become weak and tremble uncontrollably.

After sitting on the ground for a while, Chen Gaoshan finally stood up and patted the snow off his bottom.

As for the two wolves trapped in the space, he didn't have any suitable weapons at the moment. If he released them, the two hungry wolves would definitely pounce on him and attack him immediately.

I still have to wait until I get home, find a knife, go back into my spatial dimension and deal with these two menaces. After that, I'll take their bodies out and dispose of them.

After sitting for a while, his hands and feet started to get cold, so he quickened his pace and headed home.

When he finally arrived at his doorstep, he was surprised to find that the gate to the yard was not locked, and the bolt was only slightly ajar.

This must have been deliberately left open for him, waiting for him to come back.

Before he could even push the door open, the two yellow dogs he kept in the yard, Da Huang and Er Huang, heard the familiar footsteps and immediately started scratching at the wooden door with their paws, making cheerful whimpering noises.

As soon as Chen Gaoshan opened the door, the two clingy little brats pounced on him. But as soon as they got close to him, they sniffed him and perked up their ears, their eyes warily scanning around him. They would sometimes rub against his trouser leg, sometimes cling to his leg, whining and refusing to let him go.

Big Yellow: Hmm, there are other dogs now.

Erhuang: Two.

It has to be said that dogs have incredibly sensitive noses; not a single scent can escape their noses.

Chen Gaoshan looked at the two dogs, feeling both helpless and amused, and reached out to pat them on the head.

"Alright, alright, stop fooling around and go back inside!"

After dismissing the two dogs, he turned and closed the gate, bolting it shut. The window of the west wing shone with the dim light of an oil lamp.

He walked over, reached out and pushed open the door to the west wing, calling out as he habitually did.

"Wife, I'm home!"

Upon seeing the scene inside the room, Chen Gaoshan froze on the spot, subconsciously swallowing.

Inside the house, Lotus and Apricot Blossom, both wearing loose shorts and with their backs bare, were helping each other wash their backs.

"what!"

Xinghua was startled by his sudden shout. She cried out, quickly turned around, hugged her back, and blushed.

It's not that she has a small face; her younger sister is still around, so she has to dress up a bit.

Lianhua didn't react much, but glanced back at Chen Gaoshan. Without stopping, she took a cotton towel and quickly wiped the water off her sister Xinghua's back, talking as she did so.

"Why are you only coming back now? Where have you been busy? It's completely dark now. You're just in time. Hurry up and go to the kitchen to get us another basin of hot water. The water's almost cold."

Well, at this moment, it's quite impactful, wow, it's really exciting.

Sometimes he would light an oil lamp with his wife.

When we went to the east wing, it was always in the dark.

What can you see clearly in complete darkness?

This was the first time he had seen Xinghua like this, and he was quite excited. He had already put in a lot of effort just now; after all, a man can't be weak.

In his previous world, he was a writer from the countryside who rarely went out, but he would still occasionally show concern for foot massage workers.

Along with a terabyte of learning materials on his computer, Chen Gaoshan, while not daring to say anything else, possessed an extraordinary amount of knowledge, all of which was legitimate.

Seeing that he was staring intently at her, Lianhua rolled her eyes at him. "Aren't you going yet?"

"Hey, hey, I'll go get you two some water right away."

Chen Gaoshan, having gone to the market, picked up a wooden basin and came out of the inner room. In the outer room, a large iron pot was boiling water on the stove.

The layout of houses in Northeast China is such that as soon as you enter, there is an outer room where you cook and light the fire, and further inside is the inner room, which is where you sleep.

The stove pit was not only used for cooking, but also for heating the kang (heated brick bed) inside the house.

Push open the door.

The biting cold air invigorated him considerably. Good heavens, if I could ever eat a meat sandwich, my life would be complete!

He poured the water from the basin onto the snowdrift in the yard.

By the time he carried a basin of hot water back into the house, Xinghua had already started getting dressed.

Lotus glanced at her sister, then at her husband, and thought, "Just pretend. I've done this before, what's there to be embarrassed about?"

Seeing Xinghua leave in a hurry, I realized that this matter couldn't be rushed; we still needed to find an opportunity.

He didn't think about it anymore. Even if they slept on the same kang (heated brick bed), he wouldn't be able to manage everything today.

"Still looking? You idiot, your eyes are practically glued shut! My sister's gone, hurry up and take off your clothes and wash them."

Chen Gaoshan quickly took off his clothes and sat on the bench, while Lianhua wiped his arms.

Even at such close range, I could still smell the scent of my wife's freshly showered soap. Her hair was still dripping wet, and she was wearing a bellyband that was fluttering slightly.

He started to react as soon as he smelled it. Putting everything else aside, this body is much stronger than his previous weak body. It's true that people need to live a more regular life, otherwise they can easily become spineless.

Before he could even touch it, it was slapped away.

"Turn around, let me wipe your back."

After what seemed like an eternity, they finally finished washing. As Lianhua bent down to carry the wooden basin, he hugged her waist from behind.

Lotus was used to her man's constant whining and teasing in the house, and she even leaned back and twisted her buttocks.

"The donkeys that work in the village need to rest, how come you don't feel tired?"

"Relax, you'll be sleeping in the east wing tonight."

Chen Gaoshan lowered his head and kissed her shoulder, then hugged her even tighter.

"Or we could all go together, it'll be cold in winter, and we could huddle together to keep warm."

"Why don't you get all excited? This kang is nice and warm, I'm not cold. Hurry up and go, don't keep my sister waiting."

"Wife, I have to say, it has to be you. Marrying you is truly a blessing from our Chen family's ancestral graves. You are so good to me."

Lotus is carrying a basin of water.

"You know that's enough. My sister and I have decided on you for life. If I don't treat you well, am I supposed to go out and have an affair? That would be a waste of my brains."

He loosened the lotus flower, and while she went to pour water, he casually put his short knife into his spatial storage. Then, he sneaked into the east wing in the dark.

Xinghua was already lying on the kang (a heated brick bed) waiting for him.

"Shanzi, get on the kang (heated brick bed), I've warmed the blankets up."

As usual, I got into bed in the dark and turned the covers around. Xinghua was already prepared, completely naked.

"Apricot Blossom, I've arrived."

"Shanzi, do you think I'm infertile? I was useless when your brother was alive, and we've tried so many times, but there's still no sign of a baby."

As Chen Gaoshan approached, he paused, realizing that infertility could be caused by problems in both men and women. He wondered how to explain it to Xinghua in a way that she would understand.

"How can I put it? Men are like seeds, and the women they grow into are like a field that has been manureed in the spring. The problem is that if a seed is bad, even if it's fertile soil, it won't sprout anything. But if it's saline soil, even the best seeds will die from the salinity."

Do you understand what I'm saying? So, the fact that you and my brother don't have kids might be your problem, or it might be my brother's problem. We've only been together for less than a month, what's the rush? I know a position that really works, want to try it?

Xinghua turned to look at him. Both of the Chen brothers had attended private schools, were literate and could do arithmetic, so they must know more than she did. Since he said so, then it must be true. After thinking for a moment, she nodded.

"Try it, no, try it a few more times."

He didn't stand on ceremony and finished quickly and efficiently. Xinghua found a comfortable spot, put her arms around his waist, and closed her eyes.
