Han Yixian and Liu Gang were talking about the house in the east room, while Yu Huiru and Du Yuhan were talking about Han Yixian in the west room.
After putting the two younger children to sleep, Yu Huiru asked her daughter, "Yuhan, I think Xiao Han is a good person; he knows how to care for others. Have you two made up?"
Du Yuhan said, "Mom, I forgave him a long time ago. I just haven't figured out how to live our future. Brother Han has been trying to convince me with his actions, and I want to try again with him and give him another chance."
Yu Huiru said happily, "That's right, you have to look on the bright side. This Xiao Han has fully realized his mistake and is willing to correct it. Moreover, I think he is truly sincere towards you, so let's give him a chance. We'll see how he acts in the future."
If you don't want to get married too early, you can get engaged first. All the previous engagements don't count; an engagement needs a ceremony, at least a meal with some relatives and friends to announce it.
Hearing her mother's somewhat impatient words, Du Yuhan said helplessly, "Mom, why are you in such a hurry? I'm just giving him a chance. Besides, I'm not even eighteen yet, I'm not in a rush at all. Didn't you say you wanted to keep me for a few more years? Why are you in such a hurry to marry me off now? Mom, are you annoyed with me?"
Yu Huiru quickly said, "Nonsense, how could I be annoyed by you? I wish I could live with you every day, it would be so much fun. Of course, your mother is reluctant to let you get married, but I'm worried that Han Yixian is getting old and I'm afraid he'll get impatient."
Du Yuhan said, "There's nothing he can do if he's anxious. If he can't wait, he can go find someone else. I certainly won't stop him."
Yu Huiru scolded, "Don't talk nonsense. You're not allowed to say that again. Since you've decided to give it a try with Han Yi, you two should treat each other well and be serious about each other. Don't cause any more trouble. Mom hopes you can find someone who loves you and be happy for the rest of your life."
Yu Huiru talked to her daughter about many issues that women should pay attention to, giving her a lesson in mental health.
The next day, Han Yixian got up early and did all the chores around Du Yuhan's house. He watered the vegetable garden, swept the yard, and chopped firewood; he was incredibly diligent.
Du Yuhan didn't stop him from working; being too polite would be counterproductive.
She and Han Yixian had known each other for decades, including her previous life. Although she went abroad in her past life and never saw Han Yixian again, she never forgot him. She remembered every little thing they did in Luancheng, and it was the same in this life.
The name Han Yixian was already etched in her heart. If they could become husband and wife in this life, it would be a blessing from heaven.
They did not express their feelings in their past lives, so it is already a great fortune that they can understand each other and be of one mind in this life.
No one is luckier than her, and she will cherish everything in this life.
The hen has started laying eggs, and with the eggs, Du Yuhan feeds her three younger brothers and two little ones eggs every day. It's good to have more eggs since there's no meat.
Du Yuhan also got about ten chickens for the Du family to raise, but with food shortages, they're only fed wild vegetables and aren't growing fast, so they haven't laid eggs yet. But it'll be soon.
Yu Huiru saw that Du Yuhan raised ten hens and two roosters, and that she could collect eight eggs from the henhouse every day. In other words, these hens laid eggs every day without a single one being idle. She greatly admired her daughter's ability to raise chickens.
The family's hens laid many eggs, and Du Yuhan often smuggled some out from her spatial dimension, so the family had a very good supply of eggs. Even though the children ate them every day, they still managed to accumulate quite a few.
Han Yixian arrived, so Du Yuhan naturally wanted to give them a good nourishing meal.
In the morning, Du Yuhan cooked rice porridge in one large pot and made scallion pancakes in another. After making the pancakes, Du Yuhan added chopped scallions and fried eggs, frying more than a dozen eggs into a large plate. The golden fried eggs looked so delicious that it made one's mouth water.
With an egg, Du Yuhan also made a cold salad with two cucumbers. Lettuce and scallions dipped in sauce were also delicious. Adding some pickled vegetables, tossed with sesame oil, and serving with rice porridge made it even more delicious.
Han Yixian and Liu Gang did all the heavy chores that needed to be done at Du Yuhan's house before it was time for breakfast.
Du Yuhan told the two of them to wash their hands and eat before they stopped what they were doing.
After enjoying a delicious and hearty breakfast, Han Yixian left with Liu Gang, carrying plenty of food prepared by Du Yuhan. He had no choice; he had a lot of work to do, and with his mother-in-law there, he couldn't stay at Du Yuhan's house indefinitely.
After Han Yixian's diligent search, he finally found a suitable place a little off the outskirts of City C. The house was very old, almost collapsing. What Han Yixian valued wasn't the house itself, but the location.
The house had yards in both the front and back, and they were quite large, not much smaller than Du Yuhan's house in Laohewan Village. Moreover, the yards were surrounded by high walls, so no one could see inside from the outside, ensuring excellent privacy.
Han Yixian's idea was to demolish all the old houses and rebuild them. He planned to build them according to the style of Du Yuhan's house in Laohewan Village, and also to build several side rooms in the front yard so that there would be a place for guests to stay when they came to visit.
Du Yuhan's parents, brother, and younger brother will inevitably be coming to stay at their house, so Han Yixian needs to plan ahead.
He didn't tell Du Yuhan after he bought the house. He planned to bring her over after the house was built to give her a surprise.
As time went by, thanks to Du Yuhan's help and the joint efforts of Han Yixian, Gu Qishen, and others, the situation in City C stabilized, and people's hearts were much more at ease than before.
As the autumn harvest season draws ever closer, smiles are appearing on people's faces more and more often.
Thanks to everyone's joint efforts, most of the crops in the villages were saved this year. Gu Qishen basically spent all his time in the countryside, checking the condition of the crops one by one before the autumn harvest, so that he had a clear understanding of the situation.
The more he looked, the happier he became. This year's crops were even better than he had expected; Du Yuhan's talk of high-yield varieties was indeed true. Looking at the nearly ripe corn, the ears were long and thick, the kernels large and plump. He just had to wait and see how it fared in the final stages.
The soybeans are growing very well this year. There are many beans on the soybean plants, and the beans are also quite large. I estimate that they will grow a little longer before they are ready for harvest.
As for the potatoes and sweet potatoes, they are growing better than before. In the few fields I've inspected so far, the potatoes and sweet potatoes are growing large and plentiful.
The grain seeds that Du Yuhan provided to Gu Qishen mostly came from her spatial dimension; they were all optimized varieties, making them far superior to ordinary grain seeds.
An experienced farmer told Gu Qishen that this year's grain seeds were exceptionally good. If it weren't for the drought, the yield would certainly have been even higher. Even under such drought conditions, this year's harvest shouldn't be too bad.
