The noisy day passed quickly, and as night fell, most of the guests left.
Only Wenxuan and Yueyue's friends in the front yard continued to make a ruckus in the new house.
Sitting on a recliner in the courtyard, Li Chu let out a long sigh of relief.
"Dad, you've completed a task and are feeling relieved, right?"
Li Wenhui, who was sitting with her mother at the stone table looking at the gift list, turned around and said.
"Yes, after you get married in two more years, your mother and I will have completely accomplished our mission."
"Don't drag me into this, I'm waiting to help them take care of their children!"
Ding Qiunan wasn't buying it at all, stating directly that she wanted to hold her grandson and great-grandson. She then sighed and said, "Sigh, nowadays a family can only have one child. If only we could have more like before, then we wouldn't have to worry about our in-laws fighting me for the child."
As she spoke, she glanced towards the front yard and listened to the laughter and noise coming from there: "These kids are too noisy. Wenhui, go and check on them, don't let them go too far."
"Mom, don't worry about it. Those people know what they're doing."
She didn't want to go there at all. When she married Shen Yi, she was determined not to let them cause such a scene.
"Alright, then please help me write this down clearly. We'll be giving gifts back to them in the future, so it would be awkward if we missed even one or two families."
"Mom, you read it to me, and I'll write it down!"
The mother and daughter's conversation lingered in Li Chu's ears, but his thoughts had already drifted off to who-knows-where.
"It's still quite outstanding," he sighed silently to himself.
Today's ordinary wedding has drawn the attention of countless people to this otherwise unremarkable courtyard house.
Without realizing it, he fell asleep.
He didn't know how much time had passed, but in his sleep, he felt something constantly moving his hand. When he opened his eyes, he saw several dogs surrounding him, and Maoqiu was nudging his arm, which was resting on the armrest of a chair, with its mouth.
Seeing that her husband had woken up, Ding Qiunan, who had been standing beside him, said, "You were sleepy but didn't say so and went inside to sleep."
Li Chu glanced at the dogs beside him and replied, seemingly unrelated to the question, "You put them back?"
"Yeah, all the kids from the front yard have left. When they came to say goodbye, they found you lying here asleep."
"How long have I been asleep?" He sat up and rubbed his face.
"I didn't notice how long I slept, but it's almost midnight now. Go take a shower, I'm already done, and the kids are all asleep."
He then realized that both the front yard and Wenhui's room were pitch black, with only the living room light shining through the bamboo curtains, casting a soft yellow glow.
After playing with the dog, who had been chained up for two days and was feeling very aggrieved, in the yard for a while, Li Chu got up to take a shower.
When the exhausted Ding Qiunan nestled in his arms and fell asleep, it was already past 2 a.m., but he was still wide awake and didn't feel sleepy at all.
While he was sleeping on the deck chair in the yard, he had a dream in which he seemed to have returned to his past life and become that greasy, middle-aged man in his thirties who worked nine-to-five and just coasted along.
The moment he was woken up by the dog, he felt a chill run down his spine.
He didn't know if the dream was hinting at anything.
This also explains why he didn't restrain his actions at all just now.
He kissed his wife's forehead with a hint of guilt, then hugged her tighter and closed his eyes.
His thoughts then sank into the warehouse in his mind, and he silently said "sign in".
About a minute later, the "ding-ding" sound of the sign-in starting signal finally rang in my mind.
Li Chu thought the sign-in system was gone; it seemed the system was a little upset.
If you're so tough, then disappear! If you're so tough, then run away! If you're so great, then don't bother signing in!
Li Chu was mentally provoking this system that would never speak.
Just as I was enjoying my rant, the system suddenly stopped after beeping a few times.
Holy crap, Li Chu was a little confused. Could it be that this thing really went on strike? It never reacted when he provoked it before.
Once his thoughts returned to the warehouse, he saw a large pile of things in the open space in the middle of the warehouse, and he was finally relieved.
It doesn't seem to be a strike, but rather a system upgrade. However, he then wondered when was the last time he checked in.
If I remember correctly, it shouldn't have been that long, right? Two years? Three years? Five years?
Forget it, who cares how long it takes, as long as I get my things back.
As usual, I first put the money the system gave me into the box.
In his special box for storing money, besides tens of thousands of RMB, there was also five thousand US dollars.
These US dollars were exchanged with the foreigners at the drug testing base.
Looking at the stacks of large denomination bills in the box, he couldn't help but wonder when those fifty and one hundred yuan bills actually appeared.
These ten-yuan notes are too much trouble; such a thick stack only costs a thousand yuan.
After putting the box of money away, he realized that the system hadn't given him a single ticket this time, not to mention the canned food, which hadn't been given to him last time either.

There isn't a single can of food left in his warehouse, neither meat nor fruit. He estimates that if the dogs keep eating from there for a while, it will all be gone.
Fortunately, there are now enough supplies available, unlike before when you couldn't buy anything even with tickets and money.
Just like those fresh fruits, in the past, if their family wanted to eat them, they could only get some from Uncle Wang. Now, they are very easy to buy in the market, although the price is a bit expensive. Ordinary families might not be able to afford them, but their family really doesn't care about that little bit of money.
After sorting through the cash, his gaze fell on a wooden box that the system had just rewarded him with.
Without the slightest hesitation, I opened the box, which was filled with photocopied documents.
Upon seeing these photocopied documents, Li Chu's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but feel a jolt. Was he going to be given some more unpleasant information? That would be the death of him.
After taking a few deep breaths, he finally turned his gaze to the pile of documents.
"Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases," yes, it was compiled by Zhang Zhongjing, the Sage of Medicine.
This book comprehensively expounds the theories and treatment principles of traditional Chinese medicine, and is the earliest professional book in my country that combines theory with practice in clinical diagnosis and treatment.
Whether you're a student of Traditional Chinese Medicine or a student of Chinese Materia Medica, this book, like the "Essential Prescriptions of the Golden Chamber," is a must-read for everyone.
"Um?"
No, that book should be called Treatise on Cold Damage, not Treatise on Cold Damage and Miscellaneous Diseases.
The book "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" was compiled by Wang Shuhe, a physician of the Jin Dynasty, based on anecdotes from the "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" section on febrile diseases that he had searched for.
