Huo Junshan graduated from high school. Although he has a lot of knowledge in his mind, he is not a high school graduate in this world. He still needs to find a way to get a diploma.

When Huo Junshan arrived, he immediately noticed that the little girl was wearing a floral print dress.

Sitting on a stool in the room, deep in thought, her long hair fell to her chest. She had just taken a shower, and the air still carried a faint fragrance.

Her fair skin glowed with a soft white light under the candlelight, her pink lips were tightly pursed, and her slender, white fingers swept back and forth across her face.

His throat tightened as he looked at it, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down; the scene was too tempting.

He even had a wicked thought: to leave the girl at home to prevent her from being coveted by those men.

His mind raced, but he couldn't bear to see her so sad. With a smile, he walked to her side and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Yun Ningyan looked up and her eyes met his. She could clearly see the tenderness in Huo Junshan's eyes.

"I'm wondering what to do since I don't have a high school diploma?"

Without thinking, she blurted out, "Want a high school diploma?" Huo Junshan pulled her onto his lap and ruffled her hair.

"Um"

She nodded.

Huo Junshan chuckled, "Once this busy period is over, I'll go find Yang Dasheng and ask him to find a school so I can take the exam and get a diploma."

Her eyes sparkled, and her excited voice rose, "Really?"

Huo Junshan pinched her cheek. "Would I lie to you? Come and eat."

The two chatted as they ate. Huo Junshan ate heartily, having recently discovered that he had grown accustomed to the food cooked by young girls and could no longer stomach his mother's cooking.

He used to be able to eat anything edible, even if it didn't taste very good, but now he's become picky about food because of this girl.

Yun Ningyan prepared two cups of spiritual spring water for Huo Junshan, saying that he had been working too hard lately and that drinking some spiritual spring water every day would help him recover.

Huo Junshan tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp. After drinking a cup of spiritual spring water, all the fatigue of the day disappeared completely.

Over the past few times, he has gradually discovered that the water seems to have some kind of magic. Every time he drinks water here, his body can relieve fatigue. But why doesn't the water at home have the same effect?

Or did Yanyan add something to the water?

She poured water from the kettle right in front of me. There was nothing in it, just ordinary water. Or is this a psychological problem?

Yun Ningyan's heart skipped a beat when she saw him staring at the water glass. She smiled and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the water?"

Huo Junshan shook his head and put down his cup. "No, I'm just a little tired."

Huo Junshan pulled her hand and sat her down, saying, "Yanyan, I still want to finish building the house as soon as possible. When you want to get married, we can get married anytime. My family is too big, and I don't want you to live with your sisters-in-law. It's better for you to live separately."

Yun Ningyan thought for a moment and nodded. However, she noticed that there were several completed brick houses behind the Huo family's house, which seemed to be uninhabited. If she could buy those houses, she wouldn't need to build any more.

Why is no one living in the house behind yours? Whose house is that?

Huo Junshan: "You've taken a liking to that house?"

Yun Ningyan nodded. "If we can buy it, we won't need to build a house. It's right behind your house, which is very convenient. I wonder how much it will cost in the village."

“That used to be the house of the landlord in the village. The land here used to belong to the landlord. The landlord is long gone, and the house has been taken back by the village. Do you like it there?”

The house looks quite new, but it needs to be cleaned up properly before anyone can move in.

Huo Junshan stood up. "I'll go ask my uncle."

Yun Ningyan also stood up. "I'll go with you. We'll just say I'm paying for it, so that some people in your family won't notice and say you're using their money."

Huo Junshan thought the same thing, and he took Yun Ningyan's hand and walked towards the brigade leader's house.

Big Black was lying not far from the door. As soon as he heard the noise, he got up and walked in front of the two to lead the way.

When the captain saw the two of them come to his house so late, he thought something had happened. He was about to ask when he saw that the two of them were still holding hands. He glared at Huo Junshan and thought, "You good-for-nothing! You're already at home, and you're still holding this girl's hand."

Aren't you ashamed!

Huo Junshan, fearing that Yun Ningyan would be shy, quickly let go of her hand and moved a stool for her to sit down.

The captain asked irritably, "What do you two want so late?"

"Uncle, is the house behind my house for sale by the village committee? We want to buy it and move there after we get married."

When the captain heard that the two wanted to get married, his eyes darted back and forth between them, and his mouth stretched from ear to ear.

"Are you two getting married? When? Have you set a date yet? Let me check the calendar to see if that day is auspicious."

As he was about to walk into the house, Huo Junshan helplessly pulled him back. "Uncle! We're just considering it, we haven't set a date yet, Yanyan is still too young."

The brigade leader, his initial excitement gone, said, "I still need to discuss this with the Party Secretary and the accountant. That's a landlord's house; don't you think it's bad luck?"

Yun Ningyan shook her head and smiled, "We're thinking that since this house is just sitting empty, it would be best if we could make use of it. If the team doesn't sell it, we're thinking of building two new houses, but it's a bit of a hassle."

“That house is next to the Huo family’s house. We wanted to save ourselves the trouble. What’s wrong with living in a landlord’s house? We are genuine farmers and educated youth. Who can say anything about it?”

The brigade leader took two puffs of his pipe. "That house has six rooms. These days, it costs 100 yuan to build a brick house. Even if the brigade offers a discount, it can't be too much cheaper."

Huo Junshan pretended to be at a loss and looked at Yun Ningyan, "Yanyan, this house is too expensive. If it doesn't work out, we won't buy it."

Yun Ningyan almost laughed. His performance was actually quite convincing, much like a gigolo trying to swindle her money.

Huo Junshan almost broke down when he heard her heartfelt words.

He looks like a gigolo? How does he look like a gigolo? He's not even that fair-skinned, he has a very healthy complexion, how could he look like a gigolo?

"Huo Junshan, building a house is too troublesome. You have to provide meals, find people, and buy things. If you build a house, I'll have to think about whether I should date you."

Huo Junshan turned pale with fright. He didn't know that this was a performance Yun Ningyan put on to scare the captain, and he thought that what Yun Ningyan said was true.

The captain was also taken aback. Why would he break up with his nephew over a house?

No, no, he has to talk to the Party Secretary and the accountant properly; he can't just stand by and watch the two break up.

These two look like a perfect match. If the team doesn't agree to sell the house, the Huo family will suffer a huge loss!
