Chapter 40

The next morning, both of them got up a little late.

We haven’t been intimate in a while, and things got a little out of control last night.

When Shen Qingli and Zhou Yubai got up, Gou Wa had already prepared breakfast.

“Gou Wa, thank you for your hard work.”

“It’s not hard.” Gou Wa said hurriedly.

Niu Niu followed Gou Wa around with a smile on her face. The little guy had been well taken care of recently. His face had gained some flesh, and the clothes he wore were clean and beautiful. He looked more like a porcelain doll.

The more Shen Qingli looked at her, the more she liked her. She pinched Niuniu’s little face before washing up with Zhou Yubai.

The two of them cleaned up and the family had breakfast together.

“Gou Wa, Yu Bai and I are going to the town to do some work. You and Niuniu stay at home. If you want to go out, take Xiao Hei with you. Mother Li is still keeping an eye on you guys, so be careful.” Shen Qingli warned.

“Don’t worry, mom. My sister and I will always take Xiao Hei with us when we go out. If we are at home, we won’t open the door for anyone who comes.” said Gou Wa.

He is a big boy, and very smart.

“We have given you new names. See if you like them. If you don’t like them, we will give you new ones.”

“The dog boy’s name is Zhou Shurui. He is well-read and has auspicious aura.”

“Niuniu’s name is Zhou Wuyou, which means she will live a life without worries, peaceful and happy.”

Shen Qingli looked at the two little ones.

Gou Wa and Niu Niu’s eyes were sparkling.

“Mom, I like it. My name is Wuyou now. I’m so happy.” Niu Niu giggled and turned around happily.

“I like it too.” Gou Wa said. He likes reading and he likes this name especially. He hopes that he is a lucky person and can be filial to his parents in the future.

“Since you like it, then it’s settled.” Shen Qingli said with a smile.

“Um!”

Zhou Yubai and Shen Qingli packed all the necessary things, borrowed a bicycle from the village, and set off for the town.

Zhou Yubai likes to let Shen Qingli sit in the front so that he can feel like he is always holding her.

But Shen Qingli was embarrassed and insisted on sitting in the back seat.

Zhou Yubai had no choice but to listen to her, “I’ll see if I can get a bicycle ticket and buy a new bicycle. Then we don’t have to borrow the bicycles from the brigade when we go out.”

“Yeah, okay.” Shen Qingli agreed with everything that would improve her quality of life.

The two men talked and left the village.

Song Xiaocao has been staying at Widow Zhou’s house these days. She wanted to find an opportunity to get close to Zhou Yubai, but Zhou Yubai had been working on the river bank, and there were people from their village there, so she didn’t dare to go over.

After finally finishing the work on the riverbank, the team leader actually gave them another day off.

I can only find another opportunity tomorrow when Zhou Yubai goes to work in the fields.

This morning, Song Xiaocao was again criticized by Widow Zhou. She did not dare to talk back, but continued to work obediently, earning work points for Widow Zhou.

She was so tired that she couldn’t even straighten her back. As soon as she straightened up to rest, she saw Zhou Yubai riding a bicycle and taking Shen Qingli away from her.

Shen Qingli is still as beautiful as ever, with a delicate and charming look.

At first glance, I felt that she was very noble.

Song Xiaocao was jealous and crazy!

This kind of good life without having to work in the fields should be hers!

Song Xiaocao chased after him as if possessed by some unknown force.

But her walking speed was not as fast as her bicycle, and she walked for a while until she reached an area where there were not many people.

Song Xiaocao also calmed down. What was she doing? How could she be so impatient? She calmed down, took two deep breaths, and was about to go back when someone grabbed her wrist.

“Sister, hehe, hehe.” A silly voice sounded.

Song Xiaocao was so scared that she almost screamed, “What are you doing? What are you doing? Let me go.”

The one who caught Song Xiaocao was the second idiot in the village.

When Ershazi was a child, he had a fever and damaged his brain. He has been unconscious ever since and there is not much he can do.

The captain is not the kind of person who would make things difficult for others, and he does take some care of the idiot’s family.

Ershazi’s mother was working in the fields, and Ershazi was waiting for her at the edge of the field.

He didn’t have any bad intentions, he just wanted someone to play with him. Song Xiaocao rushed over, and Ershazi thought she was there to play with him, so he happily grabbed her and wouldn’t let go.

Song Xiaocao thought a lot. She felt that she was so beautiful that someone would definitely be interested in her. The idiot who kept holding on to her meant that he had ulterior motives and was like a toad wanting to eat swan flesh.

She immediately pushed the idiot away with force, and the idiot lost his balance and fell to the ground.

As luck would have it, his head hit a rock and he became motionless instantly.

Song Xiaocao was frightened. She stepped back several steps in horror. Seeing that the second idiot still didn’t move, she dared not stay and ran away in a hurry. She first went back to Widow Zhou’s house and stayed there for a long time.

What if that idiot died?

She is a murderer and should be shot.

No, she had to be seen.

Song Xiaocao trotted to the field again, carrying the kettle.

“Where have you been? You’re still lazy with such a small job!” Widow Zhou scolded unceremoniously.

“Aunt, I’ll go get you some water. Drink some first and I’ll continue working.” Song Xiaocao handed over the kettle in a flattering manner.

Widow Zhou rolled her eyes at Song Xiaocao and took the kettle.

Song Xiaocao worked actively and performed well.

town.

Zhou Yubai and Shen Qingli found a place and parked their bicycles.

Two people brought a basket, which Zhou Yubai carried on his back, and they walked around a few times until they arrived at an alley.

“Cover your face when you go to the black market.” Zhou Yubai took out two pieces of cloth, and the two of them covered their faces. Then Zhou Yubai took Shen Qingli in.

The black market is huge, a bit like the morning market in Northeast China before the apocalypse.

It’s just that there aren’t that many things and the categories aren’t that rich.

Zhou Yubai first went to buy flour, rice, cornmeal, millet and miscellaneous grains, twenty kilograms each, and also bought some pork.

Zhou Yubai plans to go hunting in the mountains these few nights. When his family builds the house, he will use the prey he hunts to entertain the workers for dinner.

If someone asks, just say you bought it.

Shen Qingli followed Zhou Yubai obediently, pulling at the corner of his clothes with one hand and looking around.

In the corner not far away, there is a medicinal herb stall.

In front of the stall, a man was selecting, “Do you have ginseng of better vintage?”

“No, I don’t have that. These are all common medicinal materials that I have prepared, including those for colds and fevers. We don’t dare to sell the expensive ones here.” The peddler was an honest and decent man.

The man who bought the goods was a little disappointed.

Shen Qingli let go of Zhou Yubai’s clothes and walked over…
