Yu Yue smiled when she saw him breathe a sigh of relief. "You've been reading for so long, you should have some confidence in yourself. I think you're already very capable!"
Xie Yan: "!"
I don't care what you think, I care what I think.
This is medical school!
He's just a half-baked expert!
He hasn't developed confidence yet!
But seeing the trust in Yu Yuehui's eyes, he couldn't say the words he was about to say, and managed only a forced smile.
The little devil in Xie Yan's heart looked up and cried.
Question: "What should I do if my wife blindly idolizes me?"
The answer was: "Cold and refreshing!"
Under Yu Yuehui's firm gaze, Xie Yan reluctantly accepted this trust!
In order not to betray this trust, he had no choice but to start studying diligently, even if it meant hanging his head from the rafters or pricking his thigh with an awl!
This kind of hard work left Gu Bin speechless!
He joked, "If you had this much perseverance before, would you have gone to the countryside because you couldn't find a job?"
Xie Yan put the book away from his hand and said fiercely, "Do you think I wanted this?"
He felt he had lost weight from exhaustion these past few days.
Oh no!
Just then, Yu Yue brought in a bowl of steamed egg custard. "Quick, quick, take advantage of this break and eat this bowl of steamed egg custard to nourish your body!"
Xie Yan: "..."
He really wanted to cry!
With such a diligent wife constantly urging him on, he dares not slack off!
With tears in her eyes, she ate a bowl of steamed egg custard and then started reading again!
After witnessing all this, Gu Bin couldn't help but give Yu Yue a thumbs up. That was a brilliant move!
It took no effort to force Xie Yan, this lazy person, to become diligent, and the key point is that he did it voluntarily. It's not like Yuehui is doing anything wrong!
Give Xie Yan a sympathetic look and then make a quick getaway!
A few days later, Gu Bin received a letter that his grandmother had secretly written to him. The content was similar to what Xie Yan had guessed, telling Gu Bin not to be stingy with money and to build him a house in the village.
They also sent me 200 yuan as a bonus for building the house.
Of course, the two military overcoats that were supposed to be sent to Xie Yan were also sent along with the package.
Gu Bin came to Xie Yan with money and clothes, and asked worriedly, "Do you think two hundred yuan is enough to build a house?"
Xie Yan: "..."
He suspected this guy was just there to show off his wealth!
He snorted coldly and said, "How many houses are you thinking of building? Two hundred dollars isn't even enough!"
Gu Bin: "Look at what you're saying! I just didn't know the price of building a house here."
"I just came to ask you something! Why are you getting so worked up!"
Xie Yan: He hates the rich! He's jealous!
He hates these rich people!
real!
With dead fish eyes, he looked at Gu Bin and said, "You're not even as good as your grandmother. She's more capable than you even in Beijing. The money she gave you was just a rough estimate!"
Gu Bin shook his head. "Don't underestimate my grandma. Don't think she's just an ordinary old lady. She's incredibly capable. Although she lives in a compound now, she fought against the Japanese when she was young."
Xie Yan was shocked, his face filled with respect, and he repeatedly said, "I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! I didn't expect our grandma to be so amazing!"
Gu Bin proudly raised his head, "Of course, my grandma isn't just any grandma!"
"Besides, our hometown is also in the countryside. We only moved to Beijing later. If my grandma came here, she would definitely adapt better than I do!"
Xie Yan understood. No wonder.
He thought it was just Grandma Gu Bin's concern for her grandson, and that she had someone investigate. But it turned out to be based on experience. He continued to say to Gu Bin, "If you want to build three main rooms, that should be enough, right?"
Gu Bin nodded, "Yes, but I also need a yard. Without a yard, I won't feel safe. Even if I go out to wash my face, someone will see me."
Xie Yan laughed and said, "Isn't that great? It's a good opportunity to have someone supervise you while you wash your face!"
Gu Bin: "Get out!"
Xie Yan smiled and got back to the main topic, "The courtyard has been planned for you. The next question is, do you want to build a brick house or an earthen house?"
Gu Bin's first thought was to build a brick house, but he still cautiously asked Xie Yan, "What do you mean? What's the difference between the two?"
Xie Yan said bluntly, "Brick houses are clean, and mud houses are warm! But I suggest you build a mud-brick house!"
Gu Bin: "!"
This was the first time he had heard such a statement. It was different from the views of everyone at the time. Everyone liked to live in brick houses and was proud to have three large brick houses with tiled roofs!
Xie Yan suggested building an adobe house!
Fearing Gu Bin might not understand, Xie Yan explained, "If you like cleanliness, after the house is built, go to the commune and buy some newspapers to cover the whole house, and buy some bricks to lay on the ground. That will keep it very clean."
"If you build a brick house, it will be clean, but the walls are relatively thin and will easily freeze through in winter!"
Upon hearing that it would be cold in winter, Gu Bin quickly nodded, "Stop, no need to say anything more, I'll build an adobe house!"
"I'll ask the brigade leader for approval right now. While everyone has time, let's get it built as soon as possible. Maybe I can move into my new house by winter!"
Thinking of this possibility, Gu Bin didn't want to stay a second longer, to waste time!
He ignored the thank-you banquet and rushed out in a hurry!
After searching around, Gu Bin finally found Yu Shan at the brigade headquarters. He directly stated his purpose, emphasizing that he had a conflict with other educated youth and was now finding it difficult to live at the educated youth settlement, so he had no choice but to bring up this idea!
Seeing that the brigade leader was deep in thought and didn't say anything, Gu Bin continued, "Brigade leader, you see, I'll be going back to the city sooner or later. This house will belong to the brigade headquarters after I leave. Also, I don't know anything about building houses, so I'll definitely need you to recommend a few more people to help me. I'll pay them for their work!"
Yu Shan was very tempted by these words. Many families in the village were short of labor and really needed this wage.
He looked at Gu Bin and nodded secretly. This guy had a good relationship with his son-in-law and was very good at handling things. He also got along well with the young people in the village!
Gu Bin was one of the few educated youths who could get along well with the local young people; he was a good kid.
In this respect, Xie Yan is inferior to Gu Bin.
After nodding in satisfaction, Yu Shan said, "That's right. As you can see from the area around the educated youth settlement, apart from the plot of land reserved for you, there's nowhere else that can be approved for you!"
"The other educated youth definitely wouldn't agree to have their own plots of land!"
Gu Bin nodded and said, "I know, Uncle Yu. Don't worry about that. I don't care if it's near the educated youth settlement or anywhere else!"
"All I want is a house where I can live, so I can come home and rest properly after work!"
"Sigh! Don't laugh at me, but I'm going back to the educated youth settlement now..." After a long sigh, Gu Bin gave a wry smile, "I'm not going to say anything more, Uncle Yu!"
Yu Shan felt a pang of sympathy at the laughter and quickly said, "Then there are only open spaces at the beginning and end of the village. You can choose one!"
Gu Bin looked at Yu Shan and said, "Uncle Yu, I saw that Xie Yan's family also has a lot of vacant land. Do you think you could approve that land for me?"
Yu Shan laughed heartily, "No problem, you said before that you would pay the people who helped build your house! How much are you planning to pay?"
