He pushed open the bedroom door, preparing to put the wooden planks inside first.
Then, he stood frozen at the doorway.
He was completely still, as if he had been frozen in place, his eyes wide open and his mouth slightly agape, looking like he had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
"This...this..."
He looked at the newly renovated bedroom and stammered, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.
Is this still the same bare-walled room from before?
The soft blankets, the thick curtains, and the carpet underfoot that you can sink into...
Compared to these curtains, even the best fabrics in the supply and marketing cooperative are like bath towels!
"What's wrong?" Su Tang peeked out from behind him, blinking innocently.
"Oh, you mean these things?" She pointed to the room. "I was just unpacking my suitcase and found these at the bottom. They're all my dowry that my mom prepared for me. They've been sitting at the bottom of the trunk for years, and I'd almost forgotten about them. I took them out to air them out; they'll come in handy now."
dowry?
Qin Ye felt that his wife was like a treasure chest, always able to suddenly produce many surprises.
But looking at Su Tang's calm and innocent face...
He had only one thought in his mind: his wife was a treasure trove of treasures, and also a mystery in herself.
He silently placed the wooden board against the wall and decided not to ask any more questions.
No matter how many secrets she has, he will protect them.
He was willing to wait. Until she felt he was trustworthy and willingly opened her heart to him.
After tidying up the house, Su Tang pulled Qin Ye into the yard.
The courtyard was quite large, but it was bare except for one old tree of unknown species.
"Qin Ye, let's tidy up this yard too!" Su Tang gestured enthusiastically.
“This plot of land faces the sun. Let’s clear it out and make a small vegetable garden. We can plant some tomatoes, cucumbers, and bok choy, so we won’t have to go to the mess hall to get them anymore.”
“Over there, by the corner of the wall, let’s plant some fruit trees, a pear tree, a peach tree, and a grapevine. When they bear fruit, I’ll make you some jam.”
Qin Ye listened quietly, and it was as if he could already see the yard with vegetables growing and fruit ripening, and she was standing under the tree smiling at him.
His heart was incredibly soft.
As if by magic, Su Tang pulled out several small packets wrapped in oil paper from her pocket.
"Look, this was secretly given to me by my grandma. She said it was an old seed she saved herself, and it's very precious."
She opened a paper package, inside which were not only seeds, but also two small saplings with clods of soil still attached. Their root systems were exceptionally developed, clearly indicating that they were no ordinary plants.
“My grandmother said that these two trees are a variety passed down in her family, and they will bear fruit in the second year after they are planted.”
Su Tang made up a story without batting an eye.
These are all fast-growing varieties that she has cultivated using the spatial spring.
She planted fruit trees in the black soil of the space, and they grew half a meter tall in less than a week.
Qin Ye found it amazing, but he didn't think much of it, assuming it was a trick only found in large families.
Looking at the courtyard, Su Tang casually remarked:
"When I lived in Shanghai, I loved going fishing in the ponds in the suburbs. It was quiet and very relaxing."
What was said without malice may have been taken to heart by the listener.
Qin Ye's eyes lit up, as if he had received some important instructions.
He strode to another corner of the yard and drew a circle on the ground with his foot, two meters in diameter.
"Here! I'll dig a small pond for you!"
"If you want to go fishing in the future, I will take you to the lake to fish, and the fish you catch will be kept in your own yard."
"I'll go back to the river and catch some fish fry for you to raise. You can catch them whenever you want to eat them!"
Su Tang was completely stunned.
Watching the man in front of me, he picked up a shovel and got to work, digging the soil with all his might, his shirt quickly soaked with sweat.
