She felt that this era wasn't so hard to endure after all. At least, she had someone by her side who was willing to "go crazy" with her.

When the two returned to the Qin family home, He Shumin could tell from their excited expressions that the house search was almost finalized.

Su Tang didn't hide anything. She found paper and pen, lay down on the table, and began to draw furniture blueprints and courtyard plans based on her memory and 22nd-century knowledge.

The quality of pencils and paper in that era was not very good, but Su Tang's drawing skills were first-rate.

The modular cabinets, tatami mats, and built-in designs that are common in later generations gradually took shape under her pen, with smooth lines and clear markings.

Qin Ye sat next to her, initially just watching curiously, but later couldn't help but lean in and examine her closely.

He had never seen many of the things Su Tang drew before, but upon closer inspection, he found them to be very reasonable and practical.

"Wouldn't it be easier to adjust the height if this area had a movable partition?" Qin Ye suggested, pointing to a design element of the wardrobe.

Su Tang's eyes lit up: "That's right. How come I didn't think of that? You're so thoughtful!"

The two chatted back and forth, creating a harmonious and warm atmosphere.

Grandma Qin passed by with her water glass. She had only glanced at it casually at first, but when she saw the strange lines and shapes on Su Tang's paper, she couldn't help but take a few more looks.

Although she couldn't understand the dimensions and structure marked on the signs, she could tell that the two young people were genuinely putting their hearts into planning their future home.

That earnestness made her preconceived notions about Su Tang as a "capitalist's daughter" fade a bit.

She didn't bring up the issue of ingredients again, and simply walked away silently.

Qin Chuan, the eldest brother of the Qin family, happened to be visiting his family from the army. When he saw the drawings Su Tang had made, he was amazed.

"Sister-in-law, you're really quick-witted!" Qin Chuan was a straightforward person and had seen a lot of the world.

"Look at this multifunctional wardrobe, and this bed with storage space. They save so much space and are so practical!"

"If our barracks could be designed like this, we could house many more people!"

Su Tang smiled modestly: "Brother, you flatter me. I was just thinking about it randomly."

Qin Chuan waved his hand and said, "This isn't just wild speculation; I really have an idea! Qin Ye, you're a lucky guy!"

Qin Ye was even happier to hear his older brother praising Su Tang than praising himself, and he grinned, revealing a set of white teeth.

Su Tang put a lot of thought into planning the study on the second floor.

She knew that Qin Ye was the regimental commander and must have a lot of official business to handle, so he needed a quiet and private space.

She not only designed the huge bookcase wall, but also a large desk near the window, with a low cabinet and file rack next to it.

They even drew a small rest area, with a single sofa and a small coffee table, so that Qin Ye could rest his feet when he was tired from work.

Qin Ye looked at the study on the blueprints, which was clearly designed specifically for him, and felt a warmth in his heart.

This woman may seem carefree, but she has such a delicate mind.

He raised his head and looked deeply into Su Tang's eyes, his sharp eagle-like eyes now filled with tenderness and emotion.

“Su Tang…” He wanted to say thank you, but felt that those two words were too inadequate.

Su Tang winked playfully, picked up a piece of pastry, stuffed it into her mouth, and mumbled:

"So, Commander Qin, are you satisfied with my design?"

Qin Ye looked at the crumb of pastry on the corner of her mouth, and his Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.

He reached out, wanting to wipe it off for her, his fingertips just about to touch the corner of her lips...

"Oh no, my pen seems to be out of ink!" Su Tang suddenly exclaimed, bending down to rummage through her things.

Qin Ye's hand froze in mid-air, and his ears turned red again.

This girl, she's doing this on purpose!

He watched Su Tang's busy profile, but his heart was pounding like a rabbit's.

He was determined to build this home for her with his own hands.

The next morning, before dawn, Qin Ye drove the military jeep, carrying Su Tang, towards Sunshine City.

"The political commissar said that the marriage application and housing application have been expedited and should be processed in the next few days."
