Rebirth in the Eighties: Reclaiming Space and Marrying a Rough Guy

In her previous life, Ye Jin was pure and kind, but she was schemed against by her stepmother and stepsister, which led to her losing her eyesight and being forced to marry the neighborhood rogue.<...

Chapter 63 It’s Snowing

Ye Jin ate half a pancake, five or six pieces of crispy meat, and drank half a bowl of spicy soup, and she felt so full that she couldn't stand it anymore.

"You don't want to drink this either?"

Gu Yan pointed at the spicy soup and asked. Ye Jin rubbed her belly and nodded embarrassedly.

Gu Yan didn't say anything, he just pulled the spicy soup in front of him and drank it slowly.

One sip and you’ll feel the hot and refreshing drink.

He only ate two pieces of crispy pork and half of Ye Jin's remaining beef patty, and asked the boss to pack up the rest.

After the meal, Gu Yan paid the bill naturally, and Ye Jin couldn't get it from him.

"Didn't we agree that I'd pay this time? Why are you rushing to pay again?"

"Don't worry, there will be another chance next time." After all, there is a long way to go, and they have plenty of opportunities to sit down and have a meal together, so there is no need to rush.

Ye Jin held an oil-paper bag in her hand and looked at him with resentment. She now realized that Gu Yan's request for her to treat him was just lip service and he didn't actually give her the chance to pay.

With the 2,000 yuan today, Ye Jin now has a total of 6,000 yuan in cash. He only needs 4,000 yuan, which can be collected in two or three days.

Ye Jin's heart was burning with excitement at the thought of buying the land immediately.

"Should we send you back now or take over that piece of land?"

Gu Yan naturally knew what she was thinking. Although she didn't say it, she was very anxious in her heart. Others couldn't see it, but he knew it.

"It's only been a day. It would be too hasty to go now. Let's wait another week."

Ye Jin naturally understood that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and Gu Yan understood it too.

He sent Ye Jin to the village entrance. The weather was not very good today and it was a bit gray all the time.

As soon as the two entered the village, Ye Jin felt a chill on the tip of his nose. Not only his nose, but also the backs of his hands, ears, and the top of his head that were exposed were cold.

She looked up and saw snowflakes falling down.

“It’s snowing!”

Ye Jin's expression was somewhat solemn, and Gu Yan also frowned.

"I'm afraid it will be a snowstorm. If that happens, the mountain will be closed, and it will be difficult to get down the mountain."

Especially this girl has to carry so many fruits and vegetables every time she goes down the mountain. Although I don’t know where she gets these things, and I don’t know whether she asked someone to carry them down or carried them down by herself, it is always difficult to go down the mountain because the mountain road is slippery due to snow.

Especially the back mountain where this girl always walked, the mountain road was extremely steep. If she was not careful, she might fall off the cliff and end up with no body left.

He was originally planning to go down the mountain after sending Ye Jin off, but now he was worried in such weather.

"It's not necessarily such a bad situation, but we still have to prepare for the worst. As long as it's not next week, I still have time."

Ye Jin calculated the time and promised the village chief to give him a reply within a week. As long as the snow stopped in four days, all the problems would be solved.

Gu Yan walked Ye Jin all the way to her grandmother's house before stopping.

"You must be tired after walking all the way. Don't you want to come in and rest?"

Seeing Gu Yan turning around to leave, Ye Jin thought he had something important to do and did not dare to keep him.

"No, it's snowing. I should go back soon. If I stay too long, the snow will get heavier and the road will be difficult to walk on."

"So, where are you planning to stay tonight?"

Ye Jin guessed that Gu Yan would live in the house on the mountain, and that was indeed the case.

"I'm going to stay in the mountains for a few nights. It's snowing, and the prey in the mountains can't stand it. They will definitely come out of their dens to hunt because of hunger. I'll get some game and send it to you."

"Then you have to be careful when you're alone. Actually, I have food at home. You can hunt game or not."

Ye Jin just didn't want him to take risks. How could Gu Yan not understand the meaning behind her words? He felt even warmer in his heart.

"I'm a hunter, how can I give up such a good opportunity?"

Gu Yan stepped on the thin layer of snow on the ground. He turned his back and raised his hand to say goodbye to her.

Ye Jin returned to the house, and her grandmother hurried back to her room and stuffed the hot water bottle that had been prepared long ago into her arms.

"Grandma, I'm not cold. You're older now, so you should take better care of yourself."

Ye Jin wanted to put the hot water bottle into her grandmother's arms, but she didn't expect it to be pushed back forcefully.

"It's snowing outside. The weather is unusually cold. As a girl, you should pay more attention to keeping warm."

The grandparents and grandchildren understood each other, and in the end neither could persuade the other. Ye Jin could only say that he would take turns using it, and only then did the grandmother reluctantly agree.

Grandma went to the kitchen to busy herself. As soon as she opened the lid of the rice jar, she sighed heavily. People get confused when they get old, and they can't remember how much rice there is at home.

In this weather, even if you have money, you can't buy anything. If the snow continues for a long time, the two of them, the grandmother and the granddaughter, will probably run out of food.

While grandma was still sighing, Ye Jin had already returned to her room and taken out the rice, flour, oil and seasonings she had bought yesterday.

When she came to the kitchen carrying a sack with great effort, her grandmother's eyes widened.

"You are a girl, it is not your turn to do these physical tasks. Let me, an old woman, do it."

Grandma pushed Ye Jin aside and lifted the sack with all her strength, but the sack didn't move at all.

"What's in this? Why is it so heavy?"

“It’s all good stuff.”

Ye Jin cut open a hole with a kitchen knife, and because the contents were so full, they rushed out one after another.

"This is flour, this is millet, these are red dates and longans, and there's so much brown sugar. How many treasures are in this bag?"

These things are currently in short supply at home. If this bag contains all the food and daily necessities, we won’t have to worry about them for ten days or half a month, let alone three or five days.

"All of them. The one at the bottom is rice. I saw there was no rice at home, so I bought some in advance."

"How did you, a girl, manage to get such a big bag?"

Grandma took Ye Jin's hand with concern and checked it carefully. She was relieved after making sure that there were no wounds on her hand. Then she thought, these things couldn't be picked up by Jin'er, how heavy must they be?

Grandma was going to check her granddaughter's shoulder again. As soon as her skinny hand touched Ye Jin's neck, Ye Jin shivered from the cold.

"Grandma, I'm fine. I didn't carry these things back by myself. I asked others for help. Don't worry, I'm not as stupid as you think."

Ye Jin smiled and comforted her, and only then did her grandmother feel relieved. The two of them put all the things in the sack back in their places.

Looking at the fully packed kitchen, grandma's heart was also filled with joy.

But this pile of stuff probably cost a lot of money, right?

Grandma reached into the lining of her trouser pocket and pulled out a handful of rolled-up old banknotes.

"Jin'er, take this money. If it's not enough, I'll give you some more. Now that you're living at my house, I can't let you spend only your own money. This is all earned through your hard work."

Seeing the distressed look in her grandmother's eyes, Ye Jin couldn't help but tell her everything.

When she was lucky, she could earn two to three thousand yuan a day. She only spent a few hundred yuan on these things, which was really insignificant.
