After Huo Junshan returned, he went straight to the educated youth settlement.
But he couldn't find anyone, so he had no choice but to put it in his pocket and go to the house behind.
Yun Ningyan was delighted to see him return. "You're back?"
Huo Junshan nodded, looked around, and said, "It's done very well. We can put on the kang (heated brick bed) tomorrow, and we also need to repair the roof tiles."
We also need to make some furniture, but I don't know what kind Yanyan likes.
I'll ask when I get back tonight.
Huo Junshan gave Chaoyun Ningyan a wink: Let's go back first.
The two walked away, one after the other.
We arrived at the educated youth settlement.
Huo Junshan pulled out all the money at once and put it on the bed. The huge pile of money stunned Yun Ningyan.
He then excitedly threw the money into his spatial storage.
Huo Junshan embraced her and kissed her, having missed her terribly after a day apart.
The two kissed for a long time with restraint before Huo Junshan finally couldn't bear it any longer and released Yun Ningyan.
He murmured, "Yanyan, you really know how to torment me."
Yun Ningyan's eyes reddened and her face flushed. She said coquettishly, "Then don't kiss me anymore. You'll only hurt yourself."
Huo Junshan raised an eyebrow. "Really?"
He leaned down and whispered something in Yun Ningyan's ear, which made her face turn even redder, and she angrily slapped him twice.
She even said this person used to be so innocent, but now it seems he's clearly a dissolute person.
The two joked around in the room for a while, then Huo Junshan got up to tidy her clothes and hair. "I'm going to work in the back. Are you coming too?"
Yun Ningyan nodded.
The two walked together toward the house behind.
Huo Junshan went to inspect the wall and nodded in satisfaction.
The brothers complained one after another, "Third brother, you're finally back! You don't know, our father forced us to redo the work several times. If you hadn't come back, we would have all run away."
Huo Changgen was surprised that his sons would dare to complain. He glanced at Huo Junshan with his glasses, and seeing that his third son didn't react, he finally spoke up, "I made you redo the work for your own good. Look at the work you've done!"
Without saying a word, Huo Junshan handed bricks to the people on the wall one by one.
He also wanted to smooth out the wall with cement, but the girl said it was too high-profile and not suitable for the village, so he had to give up.
Yun Ningyan ate dinner at the Huo family's house again that night, mainly because Li Xiangyun had already prepared her portion, and Huo Junshan wouldn't let her go back to cook.
She was just eating, and no one else said anything, but Sister-in-law Huo noticed that her expression wasn't very pleasant, as if she was just eating for free.
But her mother-in-law and father-in-law didn't say anything, and she didn't say a word either, afraid of upsetting her parents and having them send her back to her parents' home.
After finishing his meal, Huo Junshan took Yun Ningyan back to the educated youth settlement, while he and a few of his brothers went to the foot of the mountain to cut down trees and make furniture.
Yun Ningyan specifically asked him, "Are there camphor wood, rosewood, huanghuali wood, or walnut wood on the mountain?"
Huo Junshan thought for a moment and asked her, "Is the trunk of the Zhangzi tree red? If it is red, there are plenty of them on the mountain, as well as the others you mentioned. Which one do you prefer?"
Yun Ningyan's glasses glowed. "I like them all. These kinds are all suitable for making furniture. Let's go together. I want to see them."
She said she wanted to see it for herself, and she was very excited. She wanted to transplant some saplings, which would be a considerable fortune in the future!
There will be less and less of this timber in the future.
Huo Junshan nodded. "Then stay close to me and don't get lost."
Yun Ningyan said, "After you chop down the wood, I'll go back and draw two diagrams. You can make it according to the pictures."
The Huo brothers walked at the front, and no one noticed the two's subtle actions.
Huo Junshan led a few people to a grove of trees. The grove was a bit steep, but it was full of towering trees that looked like zimu trees.
"You wait here for us, we'll go take a look over there."
The brothers nodded.
Afterwards, Huo Junshan led her through many twists and turns until they found a large patch of rosewood. Yun Ningyan looked around excitedly, then waved her hand and transplanted two rosewood trees into her space. In the future, her space would have many more rosewood trees.
Huo Junshan chopped down a few rosewood trees, intending to carry them back, but Yun Ningyan waved her hand and directly stored them in her spatial storage.
The two found several of Huo's brothers.
Several brothers began cutting down the Zhangzi trees. Huo Junshan cut off the top and bottom of each tree and carried three trees on his back.
Huo Jiandang said, "Third brother, isn't this a bit too much?"
Huo Junshan glanced at him and said, "Aren't you getting married? Are we going to have to cut it a second time?"
Huo Jiandang chuckled and said, "You're right. I'm not very good at making furniture, so you'll have to help me."
Huo Junshan rolled his eyes at him and said, "You'll get it after a few tries. Ask your older brothers to help you."
The group returned to the village and carried the wood to the courtyard of his and Yun Ningyan's house.
He clapped his hands and said, "Second brother, you can take your time making the furniture tomorrow. Eldest brother, fourth brother, and I need to install the kang (heated brick bed), and the roof tiles also need to be put on tomorrow. Ask fifth brother to help you."
Huo Jiandang nodded. His mother hadn't said when the wedding would be held, only that she had spoken with the people over there and that they weren't busy anymore, so there hadn't been any further developments.
When he gets back, he'll have to ask when they're going to bring their wives home, since the house is all built!
The cement in the yard has dried, making the area flat and clean, and it's not easy to get the wood dirty.
Huo Junshan then had a few people shine flashlights on the wood, and he and Huo Jianguo split the wood in half to speed things up.
After returning to the educated youth settlement, Yun Ningyan took out a pencil and paper and began to draw.
Most of the furniture nowadays consists of chests and cabinets, all in the old style, which are not convenient to use at all.
She drew the furniture from her previous life; I wonder if Huo Junshan can make it.
When Huo Junshan returned, she had already finished painting. He was still damp from the water, and Yun Ningyan asked him, "Did you take a cold shower again?"
"The water is cold at night now, so don't go there anymore. Besides, the river water isn't clean."
Huo Junshan wiped his hair. "Okay, I won't go anymore. I'll listen to my partner."
Yun Ningyan glared at him and pulled him down to sit. "Come and take a look. Can you understand the drawing I made?"
Huo Junshan nodded. "Okay, but isn't the zoning here a bit unreasonable? We don't have clothes that long right now, so we don't need clothes that long."
Yun Ningyan drew up the long coat area according to the old coat hanging area, which was a place to hang overcoats and trench coats, but these things are not there now.
Yun Ningyan shook her head. "I drew it this way on purpose. Just copy it. Can you even make it?"
Huo Junshan nodded. "Yes, it's possible, but it'll be slow. This cabinet uses a lot of materials. But are these the dimensions you measured?"
He thought about it and realized that the room was indeed very large, but the four-door cabinet might not fit in the room. He would have to go and measure the dimensions tomorrow.
Yun Ningyan's original intention was to put two cabinets in their room, one for clothes and one for blankets, since the weather was cold and the blankets were very thick, and it would be best if they could be stored away.
"I'm thinking of putting two combination cabinets in the bedroom. You can decide how to arrange them. If there's not enough space, make them a little smaller. Do the same in the other room to avoid future trouble!"
Huo Junshan's lips curled up. Yan Yan was already planning their future together. Could he take this opportunity to propose marriage?
