Black Market Boss: His Beloved Wife's Lazy Life

Li Zhaodi took out a bag of brown sugar that she had prepared when she went to the countryside.

Liu Yan took twenty eggs that she had exchanged with the commune members for money.

Aunt Lu accepted the gifts brought by the four people and picked a basket of vegetables for them.

The group, carrying their baskets, said goodbye to the road captain and headed home.

On a summer night in the countryside, a bright moon hangs high in the sky.

It illuminated the way home, making the entire journey clear and easy to see.

"Yanfang, take this flashlight to light your way back."

"No need, Aunt Lu, the moon is so bright, you can see clearly on the way back."

The four of them walked cautiously.

"Sigh, I have to go back to work tomorrow."

"Who says it's not?"

"I'm so tired today."

"My back really hurts today."

The four of them walked back while complaining.

Various insects along the roadside made all sorts of strange noises.

Buzz, buzz. With a "smack," Shang Yanfang swatted the mosquito that was buzzing around her arm.

"Come on, let's hurry up, there are so many mosquitoes here."

The four of them quickened their pace to get home.

"Where have you been?"

Lin Huihui asked curiously.

"Just going for a walk," the group mumbled.

Lin Huihui thought to herself: Who would believe that? After a day's work, she still has time to go out and play? Isn't she tired?

The group returned to their dormitory and sprawled out on their beds.

"Go to sleep, I'm going to bed early tonight."

Someone said something, and the group of people lay down and fell fast asleep, snoring loudly.

The next day,

Shang Yanfang got out of bed when she heard the rooster crow.

"Ah, I slept so well that night."

Young people recover so quickly! I worked all day yesterday and didn't want to move at all last night, but I feel refreshed this morning.

After getting up and washing up, I took a few pieces of pastry and ate them.

After eating, it's time to go back to work.

Today was another day of harvesting rice, just like yesterday. She spent the whole day harvesting rice.

After a week, the rice harvest was finally complete.

On the very night the rice harvest was completed, a sudden downpour began.

"Captain Liu, do we still need to go to work today?"

"No need, the rice has already been harvested, so even if it rains heavily, it won't matter."

"Shang Zhiqing, Shang Zhiqing, are you there?"

A sound came from outside the door.

"Yes, I am."

As she spoke, Shang Yanfang ran to the door to see who was looking for her.

"Yanfang, it's me, your Aunt Lu. I've come to invite you four girls home for dinner today."

"Auntie, come in and sit down. It's raining outside."

"I'm not sitting here anymore. I just came to invite you home for a meal."

After saying this, Aunt Lu went home.

"Yanfang, who is it? What do they want?"

Shang Yanfang returned to her dormitory and He Lingling asked.

"They're not looking for me, they're looking for the rest of us," Shang Yanfang said, pointing to He Lingling, Li Zhaodi, and Liu Yan.

"Why do you want the four of us?" He Lingling asked, looking completely bewildered.

"Come and invite us to dinner."

"Why did I invite you guys to dinner?"

Wu Xiuli, who was under the same roof, asked.

"We don't know either." He Lingling looked like she had no idea either.

The group should have a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on; it was probably related to building a house.

"Do we need to bring anything when we go to the brigade leader's house tonight?"

"No need, tonight the captain probably wants to return the gift we gave him."

"But I'll just give some milk candy to the brigade leader's grandsons."

All four of them had a handful of food in their pockets.

They walked together to the brigade leader's house.

They thought that if they arrived early, they could help out if needed.

The group hurried towards the team leader's house, arriving at Team Leader Lu's house.

"Aunt Lu, are you home? We're here. Is there anything we can do to help?"

The group walked into the Lu family's courtyard and called out.

"Hey, Shang Zhiqing, you're here. Come in and sit down."

Hearing Aunt Lu's greeting, the group entered the main room.

Inside the main room, Captain Lu, Gao Jianguo, and Lu Youyou sat at the table chatting.

The group greeted the three men politely: "Uncle Lu, Comrade Gao, Brother Lu, hello there."

"Uncle Lu, you two chat. I'll go see if Aunt Lu needs any help."

As she spoke, Shang Yanfang ran towards the kitchen.

Shang Yanfang was chased out of the kitchen again when she went in, told that there were too many people in the kitchen and she couldn't squeeze in.

She was ushered out and made to sit at the table to listen to the brigade leader and the others chatting.

Once the four men were all present, Captain Lu asked, "How do you plan to build the house? Tell us your plans."

"Uncle Captain, we'll buy the adobe bricks in the village, and we can ask the same company that replaced our kang cabinet before to order the window frames."

We won't take care of the meals, but we'll ask the team leader to help us decide how much to pay the members per day.

Our brigade has roof beams, but I don't know where to find roof tiles.

Liu Yan asked the brigade leader about their recent problems.

“We have adobe bricks in our village. I’ll go and talk to them. The villagers will give us two cents a day.”

"The roof beams can be bought from the production team, but as for the tiles, you'll need a receipt."

“Dad, I have a comrade who works at a brick factory. I can go and contact him.”

"Okay, then go ahead and contact them."

"Uncle, when are we going to start building the house?" Shang Yanfang couldn't wait to have her own house.

She's been having a really tough time these past few days, not eating or sleeping well. There are tons of supplies in the space, but because there are so many people living there, she doesn't dare use them at all. She's afraid of being discovered and dissected for research.

"After we finish paying our grain tax and distributing the grain, we'll start building houses for you. It will take about three days to build them for you."

Captain Lu explained.

"Uncle, could you find us some honest and reliable people to build houses?"

In the past few days, the women have also noticed that most people in the team are indeed hardworking, while some are slacking off and cheating.

"Don't worry, Captain Uncle will definitely find you reliable people."

"Hey, Brother Lu, how many watts do we need for our three rooms? And approximately how much will it cost?"

"Just one cartload of tiles will do, fifteen yuan."

Lu Youyou said uncertainly.

"Dinner's ready, dinner's ready!"

Aunt Lu came out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of braised pork, followed by Sister-in-law Lu and Sister-in-law Lu Er, who also came out of the kitchen carrying two dishes.

The three dishes were braised pork, scrambled eggs, and cucumber salad.

The group of people each took a multigrain steamed bun and began to eat.

Whether it was because she hadn't worked today or something else, Shang Yanfang couldn't even finish a whole grain steamed bun.

Holding the remaining third of the steamed bun in my hand, I slowly stuffed it into my mouth with my hands, because wasting food is shameful.

Gao Jianguo forced the little girl to eat even though she couldn't eat.

I just thought this little girl was very cute.

He reached out and snatched the unfinished coarse grain steamed bun, stuffing it into his mouth in one bite.

Shang Yanfang subconsciously looked around at the people, and when she found that no one was looking at her, her cheeks unconsciously turned red.
