Zhao Yilu pulled Fan Hua into the yard. The yard was not big, only about thirty or forty square meters. There was nothing except a faucet that had just been installed in the corner on the west side.

Zhao Yilu continued to pull Fan Hua inside. When they pushed open the door, they saw a small living room. On the left side of the small living room were two bedrooms, and a small kitchen was separated at the innermost part of the living room. The layout was very simple. Not counting the yard, the pure building area was only about 60 square meters.

The house has all the basic facilities such as beds, cabinets, tables and chairs, all made of wood. They look quite old. Some of the wood and walls have scratches and crooked pencil writings, which shows that a family with children once lived here.

Zhao held Fan Hua's hand tightly all the way, took her for a spin, and looked at her expectantly, "How is it, wife? Do you like it?"

Fan Hua immediately smiled and nodded in approval: "Aside from the inconvenience of using the toilet and showering, everything else is fine. With some proper decoration, it should be very cozy!"

Zhao Yilu nodded thoughtfully.

In this day and age, few people build toilets in their homes, so if they want to relieve themselves, they have to go to public toilets. Although Fan Hua found it inconvenient, she gradually accepted it.

Zhao Yilu found a stool for Fan Hua to sit on, and he started cleaning with the rag and broom he brought with him.

Fan Hua was not going to sit there stupidly and watch Zhao Yilu busy himself. She took the rag from Zhao Yilu and the two of them cleaned up their new home together.

One of them cleaned the bedroom, the other cleaned the living room; one was responsible for sweeping the floor, and the other was responsible for wiping the table. It really lived up to the saying "When men and women work together, work is not tiring!"

The house was not big, and the two of them cleaned it up in a short while.

Fan Hua looked at the clean and empty house and couldn't help but feel more excited about it.

"Yilu, I want to put a desk here. I will read my calligraphy and painting manuscripts here in the future." Fan Hua said, pointing to an area near the window in the bedroom.

Zhao Yilu smiled and took Fan Hua's hand, his eyes full of tenderness. "When I went to get the key just now, I asked about the furniture shop nearby. I'll take you to choose some later."

Fan Hua nodded and continued to pull Zhao Yilu to the living room. "Here in the living room, I want to ask a carpenter to build a set of storage cabinets for the corners to hold the toys and sundries of Yuyu and Xiaoxiao. As for the rest, I'll put a sewing machine and two small rattan chairs there. We won't put any other furniture there for now. Yuyu and Xiaoxiao are still unsteady on their feet and fall easily. It would be better to give them more space to play. What do you think?"

"Everything is up to my wife's arrangement!"

Fan Hua walked around again, thought for a moment, and then said, "We need to build another wardrobe. My two children and I have a lot of clothes, and I like to hang clothes on hangers instead of folding them in low cabinets like this."

Zhao Yilu nodded, "No problem, anything else?"

"Well... then there's the yard. I want it to be like my grandparents' yard in the mountains. I'd put a small stone table at the end and plant a grape vine along the corner. Then when summer comes, we can go to the yard to eat in the evening."

"Okay, let's do as you say!"

Zhao Yilu felt very happy when he saw Fan Hua seriously planning her family. He felt that all his previous efforts were worth it!

His comrades in the barracks all thought he was gifted, a natural born soldier with outstanding abilities in all areas. Only he himself knew how hard he had worked over the past year and a half.
