Early on, it's about family matters, and later it becomes about the daily life of farming and living in the mountains. The space isn't that large; it can only store supplies, grow vegetable...
Although Grandpa Time meant well, she didn't want her plans to be disrupted by the sudden arrival of a new family.
"No," Shi Guang said decisively. "Grandpa has already bought this three-courtyard house. That family of four was originally there to look after the house. Once we go into the mountains, we'll have them look after the houses and shops in town."
"There are shops too?" Lin Momo was somewhat surprised.
Shi Guang said, "When we were buying the house, the brokerage firm happened to have a few shops for sale, so we asked Grandpa if he wanted to buy them. Grandpa was looking to acquire some property for us, so he picked out two shops with backyards."
“We said that in the future we can either open our own shop or rent it out, so that we will at least have some income and not just sit around and do nothing.”
"But natural disasters and wars are going to happen in the future, will anyone rent out shops?"
As for opening her own shop, Lin Momo had never even considered it.
To be precise, before the world is at peace, she has no interest in things like buying land or property.
Shi Guang patiently explained, "Even if natural disasters and wars occur, as long as people still need to eat and wear clothes, there will be people who open shops. Business may be affected to some extent, but people's lives will still have to go on."
Lin Momo inexplicably recalled the period of the Republic of China she had learned from history textbooks and TV dramas.
At that time, the world was in chaos, with warlords fighting each other to the death, and various countries trying to divide up their territories as much as possible. However, many new capitalists also emerged during that era, and all walks of life made great progress.
However, times have changed.
This was an ancient world with extremely low productivity, and it cannot be compared to what we see today.
Judging from her dream alone, it must have depicted a scene of people fleeing everywhere and living in misery.
At this moment, Shi Guang said firmly, "However, we should still store some more supplies. I think you don't have enough food stored there. Just in case, we must store more."
"Great, there's still room."
Lin Momo had no objection to this. "Three years of natural disasters and eight years of war, it will take about ten years in total, so we should stock up more. However, we can also farm in the mountains. Have you forgotten? There are still twenty or thirty acres of land in the valley."
"But neither of us knows how to farm."
Upon hearing this, Lin Momo immediately retorted, "Who said I can't! Didn't you visit my hometown? I'm a country kid. I've watched and helped the adults farm since I was little. How could it be difficult for me?"
"There are no machines available right now, and farming requires a lot of physical strength. It's very hard work to rely entirely on manpower. If we stock up on some now, we can plant less in the future."
"That's true."
Lin nodded silently, then recalled, "I remember when I was a child, although some people in the village still used oxen to plow the fields, most families had tractors. So we planted less and did what we could."
Besides farming, you can also gather all sorts of mountain produce in the mountains, so you're sure to never go hungry.
As for the food in the space, as long as we don't help others, it's more than enough for them to eat.
Before long, drowsiness came over them, and the two fell asleep in each other's arms.
On their first day of marriage, the couple got up at dawn, neither too early nor too late.
In the morning, you'll be offered tea and introduced to relatives; there should also be red envelopes to receive.
Xiao Miao carried the water for washing her face directly into the house and said, "The old master is already sitting in the hall, waiting for the eldest young mistress to serve tea."
In the countryside, there is no custom of serving tea, but since Lin Momo has married into a wealthy family, she naturally has to follow her husband's family's rules.
Lin Momo said anxiously, "Oh, he's up so early. Let's hurry up."
As she spoke, she quickened her pace in washing her face and brushing her teeth.
"No need to rush, it's not an important matter. Grandfather doesn't sleep much and always gets up very early." Shi Guang took the towel from the washstand and wiped her face.
After washing up, the newlyweds came to the hall hand in hand and knelt together on the prayer mat in front of Old Master Shi.
Lin Momo took the teacup from Xiao Miao's hand and said respectfully, "Grandfather, please have some tea."
"Hehehe, good child, this is for you!" After drinking his granddaughter-in-law's tea, Grandpa Shi handed her the brocade box on the table beside him.
Lin Momo paused for a moment, thanked him, and then accepted it.
It feels heavy in my hand, as if it contains quite a lot of things.
Is this much given out?
This must be a gift for the entire Shi family.
It seems that Grandpa Shi is quite satisfied with his granddaughter-in-law.
Looking at his grandson and granddaughter-in-law, Grandpa Shi earnestly instructed them: "Guangyao, Erya, you will have to rely on yourselves from now on. If there is anything you can't decide, go and ask Erya's grandfather."
"Grandson understands, Grandfather."
"Granddaughter-in-law understands, Grandfather."
The two exchanged a glance and responded simultaneously.
*
Before we knew it, it was time for the day to return to the bride's parents' home.
The two rode in the Shi family's stylish carriage, carrying the return gifts prepared by Old Master Shi, and bumped their way to Linjia Village.
Actually, Lin Momo wasn't very willing to come back, but it was a matter of etiquette, and she had no choice but to comply.
Even before the carriage arrived, people could be seen standing at the door, eagerly waiting.
"They're back! They're back!"
Immediately, a large crowd surged out.
The two had just jumped off the carriage.
Grandpa Lin greeted his granddaughter and grandson-in-law with a cheerful smile: "Guangyao, Erya, you're back! It's cold outside, come inside and let's talk!"
Lin Momo glanced behind Old Master Lin and saw that all the members of the Lin family were there, including the eldest branch of the family, except for Lin Hongmei and her eldest sister-in-law.
It seems that the eldest sister-in-law is at home watching over Lin Hongmei.
