Chapter 65 "The shape of your lips is so beautiful during artificial respiration," it murmured...
In the cozy courtyard, Chen Mian and her mother sat on the sofa, while Chen's father sat on a small stool next to the coffee table, writing and drawing.
These benches were made by Ji Yu. He was worried they wouldn't have enough, so he made a few more these days, both big and small.
Chen Mian laughed at him, saying that he was now a skilled carpenter, "Even if you are laid off in the future, you will still have a skill to support yourself."
He chuckled and looked into Chen Mian's eyes, "I can not only support myself, but also my wife."
The air was filled with the refreshing scent of mint, and large beads of sweat dripped from his arms. He should have looked disheveled, but Chen Mian found the man in front of her to be inexplicably sexy.
It might have been her sincere and bright eyes, or her beautifully sculpted muscles, that seduced her.
After the last small stool was finished, Ji Yu wiped the fine beads of sweat from her forehead and asked, "Were you bored waiting for me? Carpentry work is rather tedious."
"Hmm..." Chen Mian's dark and beautiful almond eyes were fixed on his lips as they opened and closed. His lips were so beautiful. What was he mumbling about? Never mind, I can't resist anymore. I'll try it first.
Cool lips pressed against another warm one, like morning dew, quietly testing the branches and leaves to see if it could land.
Until the man took the initiative, all the oxygen she had left in her mouth was taken away.
Ji Yu chuckled: "Breathe through your nose."
He nuzzled the girl's snow-white neck with the tip of his nose, then picked her up and placed her on his lap.
Like a wet, big dog, it licks its owner's skin again and again, marking its territory.
As Chen Mian slowly regained her senses, she belatedly realized that she had been tricked.
"Why are you so skilled at this? Is this the right way?" After a long pause, Chen Mian questioned.
Ji Yu kissed her round, delicate earlobe. "I'm not good at it," she paused, then mumbled, "If I were really good at it, we wouldn't be here now."
Chen Mian asked, puzzled, "Where should we go then?"
"Hmm... on the bed?" the dog tentatively whispered.
"You..." Her face flushed bright red in an instant, and her weak hands pushed the man's head away. "Get away from me, you pervert."
"Let me go, I want to get down!" Her slender waist was held captive by a large, strong hand, and she couldn't move.
"Let me hold you a little longer, Mianmian."
"I promise I won't do anything." Ji Yu was reluctant to leave, her warm breath brushing against his skin as she spoke, making the air even hotter.
Chen Mian was still struggling slightly. The difference in strength between men and women was too great, and she was a little scared. "Please, let me down."
Ji Yu, having tasted the sweetness, said, "How about one more kiss? I'll let you go after that."
"No, it's all saliva." She said with some disgust, her obsessive-compulsive disorder kicking in.
"Exchanging saliva makes people happier, don't you want to try it?" Chen Mian's large hand around her waist tightened again, and her hot breath enveloped her.
This time, she deliberately relaxed her tense body to capture the subtle nuances between her lips and teeth.
A calico cat lazily sunbathing in the forest was caught by a golden retriever that was waiting for its chance, and was carried back to its den in one bite.

"The plan has changed a little, and we have ten more acres of land," Chen Mian asked her parents for help, somewhat troubled. "But I only plan to plant 150 acres of peaches. What should we do with the rest?"
Chen Yongliang suggested planting ten mu of corn, "It grows fast, and we can harvest and sell it in a few months. We can also keep some for our own food."
Chen Mian thought of the sweet and juicy taste of tender corn, and her stomach craved it. She added, "Corn can be sold several times. Tender corn and old corn each have their own deliciousness. Dried corn can also be bought by grain merchants."
"Let's plant this!"
Lin Huijun: "Are there any other specialty crops in Xinjiang? I remember Mianmian brought back cotton and goji berries when she came back for the Spring Festival. Should we grow some of these too?"
Chen Mian bit the pen tip, hesitated for a few seconds, and still refused. Goji berries and cotton were already being grown; she wanted to grow something different.
Ideally, it should be something that looks good and tastes good. "I've got it! How about sunflowers? We can plant more of them; the tender seeds are delicious too."
She recalled going to the market when she was a child, where people would sell sunflowers. One by one, round and big sunflowers would be cut off and neatly arranged on the stall.
That was the first time she had ever tasted young melon seeds. They tasted a bit like young walnuts, with a similar nutty sweetness, but they were easier to prepare than young walnuts. At least her hands wouldn't get stained yellow by the walnut shells.
After returning home, she pestered her father to plant a few sunflowers in the yard as well.
The first thing I do after school every day is to check if the sunflowers have grown taller, blossomed, and borne fruit.
Chen Yongliang had clearly remembered this incident as well, and smiled gently. Even in middle age, he still possessed a refined and scholarly demeanor, showing no sign that his current profession was farming.
Chen Mian often felt that her parents should not be trapped on this yellow land, and that they should go to a wider world.
She even secretly asked her mother if their lives would have been different if they hadn't had children and been tied down by them.
Lin Huijun's answer was that she didn't know, but she didn't regret it.
Life offers many choices. Focusing on the present and having your family together in good health is happiness.
She got up and walked to her husband's side, looking at the "nine-linked rings" diagram on the paper, with a faint smile, "Let's make the yard a little bigger, otherwise there won't be any place to grow vegetables."
Chen Yongliang held his wife's hand and said, "That's enough to grow flowers. We'll plant them outside the yard, and we'll plant whatever you want to eat."
Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Chen Mian hurriedly raised her hand, "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, I want a swing, and a gazebo covered with grapevines." After thinking for a moment, she added, "Two swings, one for each of us."
That's how it is with twins; you have to prepare two identical sets of things for them from a young age.
Chen Yongliang: "Okay, make three." He glanced up at his wife, silently taking credit. Lin Huijun's cheeks flushed under his gaze, and she gently nudged his shoulder. They were both so old, yet he was still like he was in his youth.
After drawing up a simple blueprint of the "Nine Linked Rings" planting plan, they quickly finalized the remaining planting plan. The total land area was 210 mu (approximately 14.7 hectares), with 150 mu (approximately 10 hectares) for peaches, 20 mu (approximately 1.3 hectares) for jujubes, 20 mu (approximately 1.3 hectares) for corn, 10 mu (approximately 0.67 hectares) for sunflowers, and 2 mu (approximately 0.3 hectares) each for rice and wheat. The remaining land was to be used for their family's small courtyard, warehouse, drying yard, and greenhouses for fruits and vegetables.
The greenhouse, which currently occupies only one acre, is Chen Mian's experimental project. She inadvertently recalled visiting Aunt Liu's house.
Aunt Liu's grapes are grown in greenhouses. According to her, greenhouses can not only effectively prevent natural disasters and increase crop yields, but also grow off-season vegetables and fruits.
In other words, if successful, their family will be able to eat fresh leafy greens even in winter.
Chen Mian felt full of energy, but just to be on the safe side, she still needed to consult with Aunt Liu before starting work.
The three members of the Chen family decided to split up.
Chen Yongliang was responsible for finding someone to dig a well, and then determining the address of the yard based on the location of the well. This would make it much more convenient for the family to use water, as there was only one well in Chenjia Village, which was a 20-minute walk from Chen Mian's house.
Every week, Chen Yongliang would pull the water cart to fetch water, the rough hemp rope rubbing against his shoulders day after day, while Lin Huijun helped push the cart from behind. Once home, they would store the water in a small bucket in a water tank for use as needed.
Lin Huijun was in charge of purchasing a batch of ingredients. According to the custom in her hometown, if you hire workers to build a house, you have to provide them with two meals a day.
Chen Mian was responsible for contacting people to plant a windbreak around the farm, which could also be used as a road sign, and was more economical than building a fence.
.
Just as the Chen family was making their move, something happened to Ayili's family.
Batur cheated on his wife and was caught red-handed by Dilidar, who was heavily pregnant, at a video arcade.
After returning from the Chen family that day, Dilidar had actually let go of her suspicions. She also knew that an unstable mood in a pregnant woman could be bad for the fetus, and she kept reassuring herself.
But who would have thought that yesterday afternoon, after finishing his meal in a few bites, Batur hurriedly went out again.
She saw the wallet lying on the table and thought about returning it. On a whim, without saying a word, she followed it all the way to the video arcade.
The young man at the entrance, in his early twenties with blond hair, told Dilidar that Batur had been coming here often to watch movies lately, and would stay for an entire afternoon.
"It's rare for us to have customers who come so frequently. Business has been bad lately, and we're just living off my brother and his girlfriend."
Dilidar frowned slightly. "Girlfriend?" The air in the room suddenly felt thin, and she had trouble breathing. She put her right hand on her chest, took a few deep breaths, and then slowly moved it to her stomach, gently stroking it.
"It's okay, don't scare yourself," she told herself silently, the familiar feel gradually calming her down.
"Yeah, what, sis, didn't you know? Maybe they just started dating recently, so your brother hasn't told the family yet," the blond-haired guy said, chewing gum and mumbling.
She casually swayed a few times to the music in the hall, then said, "Sis, if you need anything, I'll call him for you..." The next second, she caught a glimpse of Delidar's hand stroking her lower abdomen and her protruding belly, and paused, "Come...out..."
The blond-haired man jumped in surprise, "Sis, what's this? Is that really your brother inside? Don't scare me."
Dilidar closed her eyes, her fingertips digging into her palms, a dull ache rising within her. "Which room are they in?"
"Let me take you there."
"Need not."
She stood alone outside the door, a newly released movie playing on the other side of the wall: "Sweet Honey, your smile is so sweet, like flowers blooming in the spring breeze, blooming in the spring breeze..." [1]
Her husband was embracing another woman, singing their love song, and watching a movie they had once seen together.
"Brother, you sang so well, I want to hear it again." The curly-haired woman leaned seductively against the man, speaking in a coquettish tone. The hem of her cheongsam was slightly upturned on her thigh, and a pair of warm, large hands caressed her smooth legs.
"Oh, don't touch me there, you're so annoying~"
"What's wrong with touching? My hands are all wet." The man didn't want to continue singing. He had already watched this movie twice; it was boring. It was more interesting to get down to business.

Author's note: The plot is complete! The movie they watched was "Comrades: Almost a Love Story." The movie was great, and the songs were wonderful!
My main account spends all day looking through old movies; I'm practically wearing out the patina of the great detective movie! [eating popcorn emoji]
