Hearing what her eldest son said, Grandma He and her husband looked at each other and then began to remind him:
"Wanqing, grandma thinks you don't need to build a new house. Just clean up the old house and live there first. You won't be living there for long anyway."
She doesn't mind her granddaughter living in her parents' home after marriage, but she has to take care of her grandson-in-law and not make him feel uncomfortable.
It is better for a newly married couple to live in their own home, so that they can feel more comfortable.
After thinking about her situation for a while, He Wanqing looked up at her family in the room.
Seeing that they were all looking at her, she pulled up the corners of her mouth and smiled slightly:
“Grandma, I thought so before. He won’t stay in the village for long, so he won’t build a house.
But I want to find an old house with a bigger yard and we can buy it.
So I will have a place to stay when I come back. I can’t always go back to my parents’ home and live at home.
It’s OK if my brother and his family are not married, but if they were married, there would be no place for them to live at home.”
She thought about where to live after getting married all night last night, and finally decided not to live in her parents' home.
It’s not that her mother’s family is bad, but she wants her mother to join the army and find her father!
If she lived in her mother's house, I'm afraid her mother would not want to join the army.
"Okay, that's settled. As for the old house, it's easy to find. Let's live in the one your father built in Houpo."
Grandma He's words made everyone in the room suddenly realize.
Yes, when the family split up, they all had their own residential plots, but they stayed here and built their houses only because the yard was big enough.
But they still have a house on their homestead. Although it is not big, it is big enough for the couple to live in.
"Okay, if you want to live in that house, I won't buy it. I'll pay rent."
That was what her father left for her brother, so she wouldn't fight with her brother for it.
When the residential land was divided that year, they did not move out, but built a house here in the old courtyard. Some people in the village gossiped about it, so her father and his family built two rooms there.
When the house was built, it was said that it was left for her twin brother, and that the old house would be given to the eldest brother in the future.
"No need. It's my own house anyway. What's the difference between giving it to you and giving it to your brother?"
He's mother thought of the two rooms in her own home and booked them directly, saying that she would not charge any money.
He Wanqing was about to say a few more words when she was stopped by Grandma He.
"Okay, your mom is right. It's your parents' house anyway. It doesn't matter whether it's given to you or your brother.
Besides, you don't live there all the time, so if your dad knew about it, he would be so angry that he would come back from the army to argue with you."
"Okay then, I'll listen to you!" After taking a look at her mother's dissatisfied look, she nodded in agreement.
"In that case, I'll take your brother and the others to clean up the house tonight, and try to finish it as soon as possible so that you can get married."
"We'll go too."
After Uncle He and his brothers finished speaking, they left home without looking back.
The only people left in the house were Grandma He, Grandpa He, their mother and daughter, and Aunt He.
A few people talked about the wedding banquet and dowry, but seeing that she looked listless and annoying, they sent her away.
He Wanqing, who was driven out, looked at the entrance of the village and then looked around the village.
Finally, remembering that her return gift was not ready yet, he went back into the house, picked up the backpack and sickle, and went up the mountain.
When she met some people who were joining in the fun on the way, she stopped to chat with them and told them all the stories about the Xu family and He Cao. Only after she saw them happily heading towards the village entrance did she continue to climb the mountain.
When she passed by the Youth League Home, she took a look inside and found the door was locked. Then she remembered that everyone had gone to work.
Thinking about the current time, he quickened his pace and went up the mountain.
At this time, the mountain was quiet except for a few children and a pregnant young wife digging wild vegetables and picking grass for pigs. There was no liveliness at all as in the morning.
After taking a look at the people who were talking, she did not disturb them and walked directly along the path she often walked in her previous life, winding all the way to the place where she found ginseng in her previous life.
Looking at the three ginseng trees in front of him that were more than 50 years old, and thinking that the other places were too far away and there was not enough time to go back and forth, he quietly took out a red rope, tied it on the ginseng leaves and started digging.
Two hours later, three ginsengs were dug.
Looking at the fat and plump ginseng, she laughed.
Although it is not as good as the hundred-year-old ginseng there, it is also more than fifty years old. It should be enough to give back to the Gu family.
After sending the ginseng into the space, she dug up a few astragalus and rehmannia roots on the spot before going down the mountain.
On the way, I picked some cucumbers and put them in the backpack. After covering all the herbs, I quickly went down the mountain.
As soon as I reached the mountain pass, I met Gu Chengan who was coming up the mountain.
"Why did you go up the mountain? Do you know it's dangerous up there?"
Hearing Gu Chengan's caring words, He Wanqing, who originally thought he was going up the mountain, pulled up the corners of her dry mouth and explained:
"It's okay. The girls from our mountain often go up the mountain. Don't worry. Besides, I didn't go deep into the mountain."
"Give it to me. When I went to your house with some things this afternoon, your aunt said you were not there, so she came out with a backpack.
I looked for all the places where the team could dig wild vegetables, but I didn't find you. I was almost scared to death."
He put the backpack in her hand on his back and said with lingering fear.
Thinking of the wild boar he encountered for the first time when he went up the mountain, he turned around and looked at her carefully. Only after he found that she was really fine did he breathe a sigh of relief.
Looking at his movements and worried eyes, she felt a sense of happiness that someone was thinking about her.
“I didn’t want to go at first, but I remembered a few things I found on the mountain before, and I didn’t want them to be dug up, so I came.
Don't worry, I'm paying attention, so I won't put myself in danger."
She is not stupid. She has walked in the mountains for nearly fifty years in two lifetimes. How could she not know how to avoid those things?
Understanding what she meant, Gu Chengan stopped and looked at her seriously:
“No matter how important things are, people are not as important as them, so don’t go there in the future.
If you really want to go, wait for me to go with you." Looking at her lively eyes, his tough words suddenly changed in tone at the end.
"Okay, I'll take you with me next time." Looking at his serious and concerned face with smiling eyes, she nodded seriously.
It was the first time that she was cared for by a man other than her family, and she felt a little excited and warm.
"By the way, what are you taking to my house?" he asked as he turned and walked down the mountain.
"Dowry and marriage certificate." He had someone prepare this for him these past two days, and had originally planned to deliver it tomorrow morning.
But thinking of the little red soldier who left in the morning, in order to prevent her from getting into trouble, he could only go in the afternoon.
Fortunately, the effect is good. He Cao was reduced to dust again. I think she will be very happy if she knows this.
He looked at her profile tenderly with his eyes, thinking about things that would make her happy.
"Didn't you say there was no rush?" She glanced back at him before walking down the mountain again.
Listening to her words, Gu Cheng'an expressed his concerns and also explained why he sent the marriage certificate and betrothal gifts in the afternoon.
The man's deep voice came into her ears, and she felt a warmth in her heart that she had never felt before as she listened to his concern.
