After the meal, Zhao Huanhuan was pushed by Wen Yan and Aunt Chu to go with Lin Yuan to his room to take a look.

Once inside, Zhao Huanhuan noticed that Lin Yuan's room had changed drastically. However, the large kang (heated brick bed) against the east wall was still there. This was essential for northerners to get through the winter, so it was impossible for the kang to have been dismantled.

The interior was completely renovated, and even the roof was boarded up, making the whole room look neat and bright.

The walls were also painted white, and on the wall above the kang (a heated brick bed) were pasted portraits of great men and several beautiful paintings depicting scenes from traditional operas.

Moreover, the old cabinet that originally stood in his room was gone. Now, in front of him was a set of tall and short cabinets. The tall cabinet had four doors and should be a wardrobe, placed against the west corner of the wall.

There are two low cabinets next to the tall cabinets. The middle low cabinet is divided into two layers, with three drawers at the bottom and about a foot of space at the top. There is also a sliding glass door on the outside. You can put some things inside to keep out dust.

The other low cabinet is also divided into two layers, with a double door on the bottom and a large drawer on top.

Looking at them, these cabinets have quite a few drawers, and they look like they can hold a lot of things.

Each drawer has a lock, and the cabinet doors also have locks. They are all painted apple green, which looks very clean and beautiful.

My second uncle's family has a similar cabinet; they saw it when they visited his house yesterday.

This cabinet looks brand new.

Ahem, I drew this myself, it's not professional, so please bear with me. This is what the cabinets in Huanhuan's new house look like.

"Huanhuan, do you like this cabinet? Aunt Chu took Yanyan to choose it, and she said you'd definitely like these." Aunt Chu asked Zhao Huanhuan with a smile.

Actually, if you look at them separately, they should be three cabinets of different sizes, but they are placed side by side like this, with the same color, and the same petal shape on the legs and the bottom panel. It looks like they were deliberately combined, and it is indeed very beautiful.

Zhao Huanhuan chuckled and nodded, "I like it, it's very beautiful. This must have cost a lot of money, it's too extravagant. Aunt Chu, Lin Yuan's old cabinet can still be used."

Aunt Chu shook her head. "I only have one son, and he'll only marry one wife in his lifetime. We've been saving up for you. Whatever other families' new wives have, Aunt Chu will prepare for you too. If you don't want the sewing machine, we'll replace all the cabinets in your house with new ones."

Last time, Aunt Chu asked Zhao Huanhuan, and she said she didn't want a sewing machine because she didn't know how to use it. Besides, she saw that Aunt Chu had a sewing machine in her room, so she didn't need to buy one. She just wanted a bicycle.

The west wall is currently empty. When Aunt Chu saw Zhao Huanhuan looking over, she smiled and said, "We've also ordered a writing desk, a square table, and a few stools for you here. They said you can pick them up in a few days. They haven't been painted yet. When you have children in the future, they can study on these tables."

Zhao Huanhuan chuckled upon hearing this, but didn't dare to respond.

Lin Yuan looked around and thought his parents had prepared a good set of cabinets and a desk, but he figured they must cost at least two or three hundred yuan. Did his parents have enough money for the wedding?

"Mom also bought a new mat and a felt blanket for the kang (heated brick bed), and a half-full red lacquered cloth for the kang,"

Felt is usually used to cover only half of the kang (heated brick bed), where two people sleep. The other half is basically unused. A piece of lacquered cloth covering half of the kang is just right, and it's easy to wipe and clean.

However, the items are still on the kang (heated brick bed), not yet laid out. New items will be laid out when the wedding is held.

"Those are the wedding bedding and pillows we made for you," Aunt Chu explained to Zhao Huanhuan when she saw her looking at the large bag of things packed on the kang (heated brick bed).

"Thank you, Aunt Chu. Everything is very well prepared."

Zhao Huanhuan had no doubt about the Lin family couple's love for their son, Lin Yuan. They would definitely do everything they could to make Lin Yuan's wedding the best it could be.

"Okay, I'm glad you like it. Lin Yuan, go stay with your parents for a few days and let the house air out a bit more," Aunt Chu said to Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan responded, glanced at Zhao Huanhuan, pursed her lips, and turned her head away.

Today is April 12th, and there are still ten days until the wedding.

After reading it, Zhao Huanhuan said goodbye to Aunt Chu and Lin Yuan, and went hand in hand with Wen Yan back to their small west room to talk.

These past few days, there hasn't been much work to do in the fields, so the brigade leader organized the villagers to start building a compound for the educated youth.

There were more than a dozen rooms built in the courtyard, separated in the middle, with men on the left and women on the right, one room per person, and the back row was the kitchen, storeroom and their dining area.

When more educated youth come, they will have to live with them, two people to a room.

These past few days, the villagers have been helping to build the houses, and they've all gone to help out as well. After all, it's for them to live in the houses, and the educated youth have even started discussing who will live in which room.

After hearing about this, Zhao Huanhuan nodded. In the original book, it was around this time that houses were built at the educated youth settlement after Yang Man married into the Lin family.

In the original book, no house was arranged for Yang Man. After she got married and Lin Yuan left, she would often go to the educated youth compound. Everyone thought she was going to see the female educated youth.

But Zhao Huanhuan knew that it was through this opportunity that their relationship deepened.

"By the way, Huanhuan, Qiu Yi has already told the brigade leader that he doesn't want to be the leader anymore. He said he's a teacher's college student and wants to apply to the higher authorities to open a primary school in the village to teach the village children to read," Wen Yan whispered to Zhao Huanhuan.

Zhao Huanhuan listened and nodded, "Hmm, that's a good idea. What did the captain say?"

"The brigade leader said that this was not something he could decide, but he would report Qiu Yi's suggestion to his superiors. He also said that when everyone moved to the educated youth settlement, he would organize everyone to re-elect the brigade leader."
