What Fu Haozhe wanted was a small courtyard with two rooms, and a bathroom and kitchen were built in the back.
A partition was built between the two rooms, turning them into four small rooms.
The two small rooms on the left side of the entrance are Fu Haozhe and Chen Chuchu's wedding room. The inner one is the bedroom, and the outer one is the living room, which are specially used to entertain guests.
The room on the right is the dining room, and the room outside is for Grandpa Fu. If there are guests, you can add a camp bed in the room inside.
If there are more people, we can add an extra bed at Fu Haozhe's place.
A cement road is paved in the front yard, and the two sides of the road are divided into a vegetable garden, a flower bed, and a grass leisure area.
Each area is separated by stone slabs, which looks very pleasing to the eye.
Fu Xianhua fell in love with this place as soon as he arrived, especially the flower garden, where a lot of flowers had been transplanted. Some were in bud, and some were half-opened, which looked very beautiful.
"Chu Chu! Did you design this? It's so beautiful. There are my favorite gardenias, roses, Chinese roses, and jasmine flowers. If it's a sunny day, I can move a chair and sit here to read, drink tea, and chat. It's so comfortable."
"As long as you like it." Chen Chuchu held an umbrella in her hand and watched Fu Xianhua bend down to smell the fragrance of the flowers. "Xianhua! You will live here from now on. Help me take care of these flowers and plants when you have nothing to do."
"Okay, I have no problem with that."
Fu Xianhua took several deep breaths of the fragrance, closed his eyes, and felt it carefully. Suddenly, he felt that it would not be bad to live in a different place.
When she was in Kyoto, everyone she met in the compound looked at her with sympathy. She was afraid of being looked at by others, as if she were a pitiful creature.
It made her feel extremely humble.
At work, everyone looked at her with a look of superiority, or mocked, sneered, or whispered after she walked by.
Xianyun was also discriminated against and excluded at school, and cried secretly several times after returning home. Grandpa and dad also comforted her, but she had to study and could not leave casually.
Unlike her, she already has a job, and if things really don't work out, she would rather give up her salary and escape from that place.
With Fu Xianhua in the yard, it became much more lively.
Chen Chuchu went to the hospital in the morning, came back from get off work in the afternoon to accompany her, and took her to the city on weekends.
Fu Haozhe made an appointment and brought Zhou Long home for dinner, and Chen Chuchu was also there.
She had already told Fu Xianhua about Zhou Long's matter, and asked her to meet Zhou Long once, and they would discuss whether it was possible later. She specially arranged to come at night to avoid too many people.
Zhou Long was flattered when he arrived at Fu Haozhe's house. He was very satisfied to see that Fu Xianhua was graceful and good-looking. However, he was afraid that he would bring bad luck to her because of his tough fate. He hesitated and didn't know what to do.
Fu Xianhua cooked the meal, and Chen Chuchu just helped. After the four of them finished their meal, Chen Chuchu took Fu Haozhe to the kitchen to wash the dishes, leaving the space for Fu Xianhua and Zhou Long.
Fu Xianhua is already 24 years old and is no longer a shy little girl. She speaks her mind openly whenever she has something to say.
"Zhou Long! You should understand what my elder brother means, right? Do you know my situation?"
"I know a little, but not very clearly." Fu Tuan only said that she was his sister and didn't say anything else.
"Then I'll tell you!" Fu Xianhua took a deep breath and calmed himself down. "I'm 24 this year. I was engaged before and we were about to get married, but suddenly something happened to my mother and she was arrested.
That family thought they could use this excuse to control me and asked me to bring all the furniture as a dowry, and the money in the bottom of the box must be 1,080 yuan. I disagreed and refused.
My mother committed a crime and was sentenced to suspended death penalty. My father will divorce her. If you can accept my family status, we can look at it from all sides. If you can't, just forget it. I won't force you."
Zhou Long showed distress on his face, wondering if the man's brain was a piece of tofu. When his girlfriend's family was in trouble, he didn't think about comforting her, but was trying to take advantage of her. He was really not a man.
"Let me tell you about my situation. I have a tough life. I've been engaged twice before, but both times the partners died."
Fu Xianhua was curious: "How did he die?"
Zhou Long looked at her and hesitated for a moment: "One drowned when the boat she was crossing the river capsized. The other had an argument with her sister-in-law and got angry, so she drank pesticide and died."
"Can you blame yourself for this?" Fu Xianhua thought it was ridiculous. "You are so unlucky."
Zhou Long also laughed: "That's not the case. It's mainly because my family believes this. They say I have a lot of bad luck and most women can't stand it. I'm 25 years old, one year older than you. If you don't mind me and are not afraid of my bad luck, then we can get along."
Fu Xianhua looked at his silly appearance and thought he was quite cute. Although he was not as good-looking as his elder brother, he was also handsome and not ugly. He was also a battalion commander. He could follow the army after marriage and live with his sister-in-law in the future, which was good.
only......
"I don't mind, but will your family agree? Why don't you write a letter and ask first?" Fu Xianhua was worried that the Zhou family would dislike him.
"My father is the brigade secretary of our place. I have three older brothers and one older sister. I am the fifth one and I have a younger sister. They are all married, leaving me alone." Zhou Long felt a little uncomfortable talking about himself like this, but he couldn't lie, so he could only tell the truth. "If they knew that I solved my personal problem, they would be very happy and would never stop me."
Fu Xianhua nodded slightly: "That's the best. Don't let me settle down here, and there will be a lot of trouble in your family. Also, my eldest brother and I are not born by the same mother. My mother is my stepmother. Would you mind?"
"I don't mind. You are Fu Tuan's sister and you are from Kyoto. It's a shame for you to be paired with someone like me who comes from the countryside." Zhou Long spoke very straightforwardly without beating around the bush. "I don't have a high level of education. I only graduated from junior high school. I hope you don't mind me."
Both of them are older and want to solve their own problems as soon as possible, so they don't hide anything and just say whatever they think.
Fu Xianhua smiled: "I don't mind, I don't ask for anything else, I just hope you can treat me sincerely, don't be chauvinistic, I don't buy it. We are equals, don't think of suppressing me."
"No, no." Zhou Long also laughed, "I am a rough man, my fists will only be directed at the enemy, not at women and children. I will respect you, anyway, the way Fu Tuan pampers his wife, I will pamper you the same way.
My family conditions are relatively poor, but I will work hard to make myself better and strive to be worthy of you, so that people won’t say that you are a flower stuck in my pile of cow dung. "
"Okay, then let's make it a deal. I will stay here until after May Day. You have passed my test, but whether you can pass my grandfather and father's test depends on your performance." Fu Xianhua deliberately put some pressure on Zhou Long, "My eldest brother is getting married on May Day, and they will come."
Zhou Long was overjoyed: "Hehehe! I will definitely perform well and strive to gain their recognition."
In just a short while, their marriage was settled.
