After finishing the meal, Xie Yan washed the dishes as usual. Since it was still early, Xie Yan lay on his recliner, looking at his lush green yard.
A person's state of mind affects how they perceive things. Before, they thought the house was dilapidated and only suitable for a short stay, and they thought they would definitely leave it someday.
Now, it looks beautiful everywhere.
Even the walls, riddled with holes from the heavy rain, looked adorable.
Xie Yan wholeheartedly embraced this house for the first time, no longer considering it a temporary residence, but rather intending to make it her future home.
Even if they go to other places in the future, this will always be their home.
Rather than a temporary residence.
Xie Yan suddenly felt very motivated to make money. He wanted to buy the house, put it in Yu Yuehui's name, renovate and expand it, and make it his real home.
Although they live in the house now, the property deed is still in Yu Shan's name.
Although most villagers didn't care much about these things, Xie Yan did, and he knew that people here would start to care in the future.
When they leave, this place will no longer be Yu Yuehui's and his home, but Yu Yuehua's.
Without hesitation, Xie Yan acted with unprecedented initiative. She first made a plan for herself: every day after get off work, she would go to the mountains to dig for medicinal herbs after dinner.
I need to spend at least two hours digging for medicinal herbs every day. But after thinking about Xie Yan, I crossed that off. Oh well, I'll take it slow and just do one hour a day!
You can sell medicinal herbs once a week. If you don't collect enough in a week, you can save them up and sell them all at once over two weeks.
I'll save up enough money to buy a house later.
If you can't save up money, it's okay, there's always the scallion pancake, right? Give one to your father-in-law, and he'll surely get a house!
Anyway, I'm saving up my money to buy a house later, so buying it now is the same as buying a house!
When Yu Yue came in from outside, she saw Xie Yan looking excited. She was a little surprised. Could it be that something good happened at home that she didn't know about while she was out?
Xie Yan had no idea what Yu Yuehui was thinking.
He excitedly grabbed Yu Yuehui's hand, sat down next to her, and whispered, "I want to buy a house!"
Yu Yue replied: "..."
What?
What's wrong? What triggered this again?
Why the sudden urge to buy a house? Don't we already have a house to live in? What's the point of buying another one?
Could it still be because of that letter? If that's the case... Yu Yue swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue and said carefully, "I think the house we live in now is pretty good!"
Afraid of upsetting Xie Yan, he quickly added, "If you want to live in a new house, that's certainly possible. We can talk to Dad about it after the New Year. Everyone'll be more relaxed then, and there'll be time to build the house!"
"With so many people, the house will be finished in less than half a month."
After saying that, she glanced cautiously at Xie Yan, "What do you think?"
Xie Yan was both amused and exasperated by her. "I don't want to live in a new house. I want to buy the house we live in now and put it in your name, so that it will be our own house in the future."
Oh, so that's what it was about!
Yu Yue breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, it wasn't about wanting to live in a new house.
After all, rebuilding a new house costs a lot of money, and their family doesn't have much money left! They can't afford to go through that!
He waved his hand, "What's there to buy? This is already at home. I'll just have my dad transfer it to my name later! Why would I need money?"
Xie Yan smiled and didn't rush to deny it. "No rush. Wait until I have the money ready before we talk about it. At that time, it's fine whether we buy it or just put it directly in your name."
Xie Yan was not as simple as Yu Yue had imagined. Not to mention this era, even in later generations, few people would be willing to leave property to their daughters.
When it comes to retirement, they'll think of their daughters, but when it comes to dividing the inheritance, they'll consider it their sons'.
Even though Yu Shan is a relatively open-minded person, he still has an old man named Xie Yan. Although he doesn't have much contact with Xie Yan, he knows very well that Xie Yan is an extremely feudal old man.
He had heard that Yu Hai's family always cooked two kinds of food: the old man ate only refined flour, while the rest of the family ate mixed flour.
The old lady was also a very interesting person. She would go around saying that she was having a hard time when she was young, how difficult her life was, and how her husband had never supported her.
But she herself took excellent care of the old man, not only saving the best food in the house for him, but also saving the best clothes for him to wear!
If the old man knew that Yu Shan wanted to give the old house to Yu Yuehui, he would definitely be the first to jump out and object! He might even resort to family discipline.
Yu Shan is also a rather blindly filial person; he knows very well who to listen to, his father or his daughter.
Although this is not absolute, we should still make the most thorough preparations for the thank-you banquet, and make sure the money is in place, so that we don't run out when we need it.
Xie Yan is a rather pessimistic person. He always thinks about the worst possible outcome when doing things. He has experienced too many disappointments in his life, and he doesn't want to go through that kind of experience again, where he is full of joy and anticipation, only to be disappointed and left with nothing but chaos.
Unlike Xie Yan's pessimism, Yu Yuehui is an optimist who always likes to think of things in a positive light.
Every day is filled with energy and motivation.
Even if she always has a blank or expressionless face, she is happy and fulfilled inside.
They are the complete opposites of Xie Yan, who smiles on the surface but cries on the inside.
Xie Yan accepted the village chief's suggestion not only because he was attracted by the vitality in Yu Yuehui, but also because he lacked something in himself. People always yearn for what they don't have.
Xie Yan enjoyed chatting with Yu Yuehui. Although she didn't talk much, she was full of vitality, as if all difficulties could be easily solved in front of her.
No problem can stump her.
What makes her most admirable is that she never imposes her own standards on others.
Just like how she is very diligent, yet she can tolerate Xie Yan's laziness.
Of course, Xie Yan is not the kind of person who lacks tact or respect for the hard work of others.
Yu Yuehui likes her home to be neat and tidy, and Xie Yanyan maintains this cleanliness.
Yu Yuehui wouldn't say anything to Xie Yan for sleeping in late. She also respected some of Xie Yan's little quirks, such as the fact that there were some things Xie Yan just didn't like others to touch.
Xie Yan also wouldn't force Yu Yue to go back and do anything she didn't like.
They are all doing their best to give each other the utmost respect and freedom.
