"I still have a lot of things to do, so I'm not considering marriage right now. If in the future, everything is settled and you're still interested, and I'm satisfied with you, I'll consider you."
This was Yun Huaying's answer to him.
There was no acceptance, nor was there an explicit rejection. Instead, time and space were given to both people.
Marriage is sacred to her and cannot be taken lightly. She will be as picky and testy as ever when choosing a marriage partner. Testing a person requires a lot of patience and a long enough time.
She was like this, and so was he.
"good."
Her reply made Han Zheng happy.
He also knew that they had not known each other for long and did not know each other well, so they needed time to get to know each other better.
Although he fell in love with her at first sight, he was not in a hurry to get married. He hoped that they could get to know each other, recognize and affirm each other, and finally spend their lives together.
"Is there anything else?" Yun Huaying changed the subject directly.
Han Zheng wanted to talk to her alone, but when he thought about how tired she was after a morning of work and how she would definitely take a nap at noon, and how there would be many opportunities to talk in the future, he curled his lips slightly and said, "No more, go and rest."
Yun Huaying nodded, waved at him, and went back to her room to sleep.
Old Man Han had already finished his meal and was sitting by the door mending his worn-out straw hat. Seeing his grandson return, a smile crept into his usually serious face. He looked very happy and asked, "What's the good news?"
"Grandpa." Han Zheng sat down on the bench next to him and told him with a smile: "I just told her."
Mr. Han raised his eyebrows slightly: "Did she agree to date you?"
"No." Han Zheng shook his head.
"No?" Mr. Han was stunned. "If there is nothing, why are you so happy?"
"She's not considering marriage right now. We haven't known each other long, so we still need to get to know each other better. As long as I perform to her satisfaction, she promised to consider me in the future."
Mr. Han also smiled when he heard this: "This is good. Only when we understand and recognize each other can our marriage last and our family be happier."
As he spoke, he recalled the days when he and his wife were young, and he reminisced with nostalgia: "When I married your grandmother, it was my leader who acted as a matchmaker. We were a little different from other revolutionary couples. We knew each other before we officially went on a blind date. Your grandmother was a communications officer at the time, and she followed us through countless battles. In fact, we had already established a deep comradeship. Therefore, after we got married, there were basically no family conflicts. We didn't argue over trivial matters like other families. Whether it was matters outside or at home, we always discussed them together, which made people envious of us."
Han Zheng also envies the relationship between his grandparents. Their marriage can withstand any test of wind and rain. From the time they met, knew each other, and got acquainted to marriage, their relationship was pure and spotless, truly interpreting the profound meaning of the phrase "supporting each other in times of trouble".
“It is a blessing to meet someone in your life who makes your heart beat fast.”
"You've decided on her, and she's not averse to you, so just get to know her slowly. A relationship that lasts a long time is relatively more reliable and solid."
Grandpa Han also hopes that his grandchildren can get married and have children as soon as possible, but he hopes even more that they can live a happy life and keep their eyes open when choosing a partner so as not to make one wrong step and ruin their otherwise beautiful life.
The grandfather and grandson were discussing this at home, while Lin Shan was also chatting with Yun Huaying downstairs.
Yun Huaying had just been very generous and frank in telling her. Lin Shan had long since seen through Han Zheng's thoughts. Seeing her friend acting so calm and rational, not as shy as other lesbians, she couldn't help but sigh, "Huaying, I really admire your composure. A great gay man confessed his love to you, and you acted like nothing happened. If something like that happened to me, I'd be so nervous I wouldn't be able to sleep for at least three days."
"In the past, several male classmates confessed their love to you openly or secretly, but I never saw you suffer from insomnia often." Yun Huaying looked at her with a smile.
Lin Shan: "...That's because I know their motives are not pure."
When she was in high school, two boys confessed their love to her. In addition, her neighbors introduced two boys to her. They also wrote letters to her pretending to be affectionate and stopped her on the road to give her gifts. However, she had no interest in these people at all, and she also saw through that they were attracted by the Lin family's financial situation.
Although their family is not wealthy, both parents are working, the eldest brother also has a job, and the eldest uncle works in the armed forces and is considered a small leader, so many people are targeting their family.
Lin Shan can see through it, and Yun Huaying can certainly see through it too.
The two of them had a good relationship during their school years. Both of them were beautiful. They were often harassed by male classmates who confessed their love to them during middle school, but they always cooperated with each other tacitly to avoid it.
Of course, Lin Shan’s two brothers also helped a lot.
"Okay, no more talking, let's go to sleep."
Yun Huaying felt a little tired and sleepy, so she turned over, lay down, closed her eyes and went to sleep.
Yun Huaying went back to weeding in the fields in the afternoon. But before she started working, she asked Zhao Xuelin, "Team Leader, is there anyone in the village who can do house repairs?"
"Yes." Zhao Xuelin happened to see the village bricklayer coming over and waved to him: "Uncle Jiao Liu, come here."
A middle-aged man with tanned skin, a hoe on his shoulder, and a cigarette in his hand strode over. "Captain, what's going on?"
"Yun Zhiqing and the other three newly arrived educated youth have rented Old He's house and want to do some repairs," Zhao Xuelin answered him, then said to Yun Huaying, "Uncle Jiao Liu is skilled. He can do house repairs and simple carpentry work. Just talk to him directly."
Yun Huaying nodded and said to Uncle Jiao Liu, "Hello, Uncle Jiao Liu. The roofs of our kitchen and toilet are a bit worn and leaking. We'd like to fix them before the rain comes. We'd also like you to help us build a wooden house for the bathroom."
"Okay, no problem." Uncle Jiao responded immediately.
"Uncle Jiao Liu, we just came here to work in the countryside, and there is a shortage of food and vegetables, so we won't provide meals. We will give you more wages later." Lin Shan continued.
"Okay." Uncle Jiao had no objection.
Although the work was not much, building a small wooden house still required a lot of wood. Uncle Jiao Liu promised to prepare it today and tomorrow and help them finish it before the rain came.
Lin Shan and Jiang Yuan continued to work in teams with the other female comrades in the afternoon, while Yun Huaying continued to work alone. She had completed a quarter of the task in the morning and planned to finish the three acres of land within two days, and then take some time to go to the mountains.
For the next two days, they were extremely busy and truly experienced the hard work of rural people in growing crops.
Uncle Jiao Liu was also very efficient. He did farm work in the team during the day, and after work he rushed over to help them repair the roof and build the wooden house. He also called his two sons for help, and they quickly finished the work.
