Yan Bugui was standing at the door, staring at Cao Anping and the others. When he heard Xu Damao wanted to treat them, his eyes turned and he said, "Damo wants to treat Xiao Cao to a meal. Your third aunt is an expert at killing rabbits. How about she do it for you? I have half a bottle of good wine. I'll bring it over and drink with you guys tonight."

"No, Third Uncle, we have something to discuss, it's not convenient." Xu Damao refused. If he asked Third Aunt to do it, he would have to charge half of the craftsmanship fee, and that was half a bottle of good wine? I don't know how many times it has been diluted with water.

"No, you and Xiao Cao have something to talk about, how do you have time to kill rabbits?" Yan Bugui was a little anxious.

Xu Damao thought about it and it made sense, so he compromised and said, "How about this, your family helps me kill the rabbit, and I'll give you the fur and internal organs, but the rabbit can't be missing any limbs."

Yan Bugui agreed immediately upon hearing this. Although he could not drink any more wine, it was a good thing as long as he could get some advantage. His family had not smelled meat for a long time. So he happily left with the rabbit and no longer served as a door god.

Cao Anping found it funny. Yan Bugui really could find ways to take advantage from every angle.

Cao Anping followed Xu Damao through the front yard and came to the middle yard.

Several women were chatting in the courtyard. When they saw Xu Damao bringing a stranger into the yard, they were a little curious. They were even more jealous of the bags on Xu Damao's bicycle. They all knew that they were good things got from the countryside. In this era, whoever could get food was capable.

One of the plump ladies with triangular eyes said, "Xu Damao, you are here to cause trouble to the villagers again, right? If you have any good things, why don't you share some with me? My family is so poor."

This auntie was naturally Jia Zhang. I don't know how she could gain weight at such a young age. Isn't there only one person's quota in her family? Cao Anping was a little confused, but he thought there must be something going on.

Xu Damao was upset when he heard this. He didn't dare to accept such a bad reputation. He said angrily: "Who said I harmed my fellow villagers? I exchanged tickets with my fellow villagers! I want to give you some, you wish!"

Seeing that she could not gain any advantage, Jia Zhang turned her eyes to Cao Anping and said, "Xu Damao, why did you bring a stranger into the courtyard? You will be held responsible if anything goes wrong."

Cao Anping ignored her. He was a guest now and would fight with this fat woman later.

Xu Damao glared at Jia Zhang. Wasn't this a slap in his face? He said unhappily, "This is my guest. It's none of your business."

After saying this, he quickly left with Cao Anping. He really didn't want to get involved with Jia Zhang.

At this time, Jia Zhang would not shamelessly take advantage of others in the courtyard. After all, Jia Dongxu was not dead yet, so she had to save some face for her son.

She just couldn't stand Xu Damao and made trouble for him out of habit.

Passing by the pond in the middle courtyard, I saw a plump young woman washing clothes there.

Isn't this Qin Huairu? She is truly a great sight in the courtyard. Qin Huairu has endless laundry to do, and it can be said that she now has the potential to be a white lotus.

Cao Anping took a closer look and found that she was indeed very curvy and charming. Qin Huairu had been in the city for several years and her skin was much better than when she was in the countryside.

Qin Huairu looked up and saw Xu Damao pushing his bicycle and the things he had brought back. Her eyes were full of envy. Her family only had a ration for one person, and she had a mother-in-law who was a big eater. The food was produced in half a month. If it weren't for the help from Dongxu's master, life would have been even more difficult.

Xu Damao greeted Qin Huairu and looked at each other fiercely for a few times. If Jia Zhang was not behind him, he would have looked at her for a while longer.

Qin Huairu didn't react to Xu Damao's staring gaze. All the men in the courtyard, young and old, looked at her several times.

He looked past Xu Damao and saw Cao Anping, with a puzzled look on his face. Isn't this Cao Anping from Qinjia Village? So he asked, "Are you Cao Anping?"

The last time she saw Cao Anping was three years ago. Since she married into the city, she only went back home for one day during the Chinese New Year. She had nothing to bring back to her parents' home, and she didn't have the face to stay at home any longer.

Cao Anping smiled and called out "Sister Qin". After all, they were from the same village, so calling her "Sister Qin" was not inappropriate.

"Why did you come to the city? Is my family okay now?" Qin Huairu asked.

"I'm going to the city to do some work. Your family is doing well. I saw Uncle Dafeng yesterday, looking very happy." Cao Anping thought, how could it be bad to take the Dragon Essence Tiger Pill? Maybe at your age, I can give you a brother or sister.

"Qin Huairu! What are you whispering to a stranger? Do you want to get beaten?" Jia Zhang saw that his wife was chatting with that boy and shouted vigilantly.

Qin Huairu quickly explained: "Mom, don't get me wrong, we are from the same village, I am asking about my family."

Jia Zhang did not pursue the matter any further, muttering, "So he is a wild boy from the countryside. I wonder what friends Xu Damao, a villain, can have."

Qin Huairu was also speechless. If you despise country people so much, why did your Jia family marry me and move to the city in the first place? She could only give Cao Anping an apologetic look, said nothing more, and continued to wash clothes.

Cao Anping didn’t say anything. You, Jia Zhang, look down on country people, don’t you? I’ve made a note of it in my little notebook.

Entering the backyard, Xu Damao shouted, "Xiao'e, there are guests at home." He was also afraid that Lou Xiao'e was sleeping again, so he shouted in advance to avoid embarrassment.

Lou Xiao'e heard the sound and opened the door. Seeing Xu Damao bringing a stranger, she didn't ask much, but just greeted Cao Anping.

After all, she is a lady from a wealthy family, so she still gives face to Xu Damao when there are outsiders around. Moreover, they have been married for less than a year and their relationship is still pretty good.

Lou Xiao'e has a round face, fair skin, and her clothes are made of brand new and good fabrics. She looks like the daughter of a wealthy family.

Xu Damao introduced Lou Xiaoe, "This is my brother Anping. He is a doctor with great medical skills."

Lou Xiao'e was a little skeptical. How good could such a young doctor be? However, she did not refute him directly. Instead, she smiled and welcomed Cao Ping'an.

Xu Damao then introduced Cao Anping, "This is my wife, Lou Xiao'e."

Cao Anping politely called Xiao'e "Sister-in-law". He should have given her a small gift at this time, but he really had nothing to give. There were only food and medicinal herbs in the space. He could give the Dragon Essence and Tiger Fertilizer Pills to Xu Damao, but it would not be appropriate to give them to Lou Xiao'e.

The three of them exchanged pleasantries as they entered the house. Xu Damao took out a plate of melon seeds and said to Lou Xiao'e, "Xiao'e, quickly take out the bottle of Moutai you brought back last time."

Lou Xiao'e curled her lips secretly, thinking that you, Xu Damao, lay down on the table after drinking a few glasses of wine, and now I have to clean up the mess again, but she still went into the room to get some wine.

When the wine was brought out, Xu Damao poured a glass for Cao Anping and said, "Brother Anping, drink some wine first to kill time. I will cook for you myself."

Cao Anping thanked him and thought to himself, Xu Damao didn't cook the meal himself because Lou Xiaoe didn't know how to cook.

He picked up the wine and smelled it. The Moutai at this time was really fragrant.

Lou Xiao'e stood nearby and didn't know what to say to Cao Anping. She felt a little awkward, so she went into the kitchen to help Xu Damao.
