Time flows slowly, but for the people of Shanshui Village, the days pass by exceptionally quickly.
They wished there were twenty hours in a day, and they wished they had eight hands so they could do farm work, feed livestock, cook, and do handicrafts.
The men who went out were eager to return home, thinking about quickly coming back to manage the medicinal herb fields and build new houses and courtyards. After returning, they looked forward to going out again to earn a hundred coins a day.
As August began amidst mixed feelings of conflict and anticipation, the delivery team from Shanshui Village, who had been away for more than two months, returned!
The team, originally scheduled to depart in mid-to-late April, was postponed for more than half a month due to the weddings of more than ten men, and was rescheduled to depart in early May.
A trip to Yuhang would take about 40 to 50 days round trip, but this time it was not just about delivering goods, but more about selling goods, and we also had to go to the prefectural cities along the way, so it was bound to take a lot of time. In fact, it took nearly three months.
When Hu Wenhua returned to the village, his sun-darkened face broke into a wide grin upon seeing Ding Jiajia. He strode towards the woman he had been longing for, and if there hadn't been so many people around, he would have loved to pull her into his arms.
After restraining himself again and again, he asked in a low, hoarse voice, "Jiajia, is everything in the house ready? Have you gone to see it? Are you satisfied?"
Before he left, he managed to finish building the walls around the house, but he hadn't had time to put the furniture, stove, or well in the yard in. He didn't know how far along he was.
He wanted to know quickly if everything was ready, and even more so if Jiajia was satisfied. Only if Jiajia was satisfied would it be their little nest.
Fan He, also tanned dark, saw Ding Jiajia grinning and showing her big teeth, and asked in confusion, "Uncle, why don't you go and take a look? Why are you asking Aunt Jiajia?"
Hu's mother couldn't help but pull him across the river, whispering as they walked away from the crowd, "You're still young, you don't understand."
How could anyone understand the urgency of wanting to marry the one you love?
Seeing his troublesome nephew being taken away by his mother, Hu Wenhua's gaze burned, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "Dahe doesn't understand, do you?"
He wanted to marry her; he wanted to marry her so badly.
Ding Jiajia's blush hadn't faded yet, and it rose again at this moment.
She nodded gently and said softly, "I've gone to see it, and it's all taken care of. Your parents ask for my opinion every time they buy something, and everything is very good."
I used to see Wen Hua often and didn't think much of it. After he went out, I thought the first few days would be the hardest and that my longing for him would lessen over time. But as time went on, my longing for him grew even deeper.
Hu Wenhua's lips curled up even more. Taking advantage of the crowd's inattention, he couldn't help but squeeze her hand briefly before quickly letting go, whispering, "I really want to marry you tomorrow."
Ding Jiajia's face turned red, and her hand, which he had held, felt even hotter. After a while, she reminded him, "Go find Sister Shuiqing first. It's important to take care of business."
We can't just stand here forever.
Hu Wenhua didn't want to leave, but he had to. After all, they weren't married yet, and he was afraid he wouldn't be able to control himself and might do something outrageous again. He pleaded, "Would you come with me? I want to talk to you for a while."
".....good."

Looking at the lovey-dovey young couple, radiating pink bubbles, Shui Qing felt like a wicked auntie holding a stick, ready to separate the lovers.
She hesitated before speaking, "How about I step aside?"
