He Yuhan didn't expect her drawings to be valued so much, with even Gu Qishen and Han Yixian showing concern and trying to find solutions.
He Yuhan thought that a few days after she took out the blueprint, her experience points and gold coins in her space increased a lot. It seemed that the blueprint was really important, and even her space was reflecting it.
Han Yixian added, "The tractor factory has evaluated your blueprints. The blueprints are very valuable. They are basically a relatively mature model. If they can be produced, they may fill a gap in this field in China."
Yuhan, I really don't know how your brain works. You haven't studied mechanical design for very long, yet you've managed to design such complex machines. I truly admire you.
Everyone is now trying to produce prototypes for testing. Are you confident in your mechanical design?
He Yuhan said, "Of course I'm confident, otherwise I wouldn't have taken it out. I've verified it repeatedly in theory, so it should be fine."
Han Yi nodded and said, "I have already instructed Factory Director Liu Jiangtao to keep your situation confidential. If your information gets out, I'm afraid people from the same industry all over the country will come looking for you, and I'm afraid you'll find it annoying."
Upon hearing this, He Yuhan said gratefully, "Brother Han, thank you so much. I hate trouble the most. I don't want to deal with so many people. I only need to deal with the tractor factory in our city. I'll pass on the others."
Han Yixian laughed and said, "You're thanking me? Your business is my business. From now on, you're rightfully under my protection. I know you hate dealing with interpersonal relationships, so I won't let anyone bother you. Anyone who wants to bother you in the future will have to ask me first."
He Yuhan laughed and said, "Then you'll be my shield from now on. I'll just hide behind you and not come out."
The two chatted and laughed as they chopped down several rows of cabbages, which Han Yi first stored in the cellar. Some were left in the storeroom for the next few days.
Du Yuhan gave some of the potatoes and sweet potatoes from the cellar to her adoptive parents, otherwise she and her family wouldn't have been able to use them all.
She would often have her younger brother take some home to quietly support her adoptive parents.
After working at He Yuhan's house all day, Han Yixian happily returned to the city to prepare for his engagement with He Yuhan.
Although He Yuhan's parents said that no betrothal gifts were needed for the engagement, he still had to prepare some gifts for He Yuhan.
He had a lot of things, and he wished he could give them all to He Yuhan right now, but he knew He Yuhan wouldn't accept them. Only if they got married would He Yuhan accept his property.
However, he should at least buy He Yuhan some clothes, some fabric, and some jewelry.
He knew He Yuhan liked antiques, so this time he planned to give her a few of the more valuable jade pieces he already owned as an engagement gift.
We also need to speed up the construction of the house that's about to be completed, and try to finish it before the engagement. It will be a birthday gift and engagement present for Yuhan.
The new house is very similar to He Yuhan's house in Laohewan Village, with several additional side rooms in the front yard. The house has running water, and a hand pump well was dug in the backyard, making water use very convenient.
Now we're just waiting for the final decorations to be done after it's completed.
Seeing that things weren't too busy in the countryside, Yu Huiru took her two children back to the city. She had lived in the countryside long enough, and she needed to take care of her home in the city as well.
Moreover, she had to go back and prepare for her daughter's engagement. She needed to make some new clothes for her daughter and inform her relatives and friends.
He Chenglin invited several close old friends to his daughter's engagement banquet, and also specially invited Jian Xiaolin. The Liang and Du families from Laohewan Village will also be invited to attend.
He Chenglin decided to host a banquet at his home with two or three tables to entertain guests, thus making his daughter's relationship with Han Yixian public.
This also let the people in the compound know that their daughter was engaged to Han Yixian, which put an end to the plans of some families who had been hoping to have Han Yixian as their son-in-law.
After Yu Huiru returned to the city, Han Yi made several trips to He Yuhan's house. Each time, he brought He Yuhan many things, many of which were engagement gifts.
Han Yixian knew that there would be some outsiders present on their engagement day, so he decided to give some of his things to He Yuhan in advance and not show them at the engagement banquet.
He shared the same idea as He Yuhan: to keep a low profile and only let their own people know what's going on.
Although He Yuhan repeatedly emphasized that she had no shortage of food, Han Yixian would bring her some fine grains every time he came, fearing that she might not have enough to eat.
Every time, He Yuhan would leave behind the food that Han Yixian brought, and then she would let Han Yixian take away the food she had prepared herself.
The two cared for each other, their eyes filled with affection.
Han Yixian brought a cartload of firewood, which was piled up in the backyard. The larger pieces of firewood had to be chopped into smaller pieces with an axe before they could be burned.
Every time Han Yixian came, he would use an axe to cut out a pile of firewood suitable for He Yuhan to burn.
With firewood in hand, Han Yixian then brought in a large truckload of coal, ensuring He Yuhan would have coal to burn throughout the winter.
Han Yixian had connections, and even the Liang and Du families received a whole cartload, ensuring they wouldn't freeze in the winter.
Looking at the small mountain of coal piled up in the backyard, He Yuhan said to Han Yixian, "How did you get so much coal? This coal must be hard to get."
Han Yixian said, "It's not hard to get, much easier than getting grain. You can burn as much as you want in the winter, and I'll get you more if you run out. Just don't get cold."
Our engagement day is in a few days, so come back to the city with me today.
It's getting cold in the mornings and evenings now. Next time I bring you back, I'll light the stove for you. It's not too cold during the day, so you can keep it sealed up and open it at night. You can also cook and boil water on the stove.
Keep everything I gave you and decide how to use it as you see fit. Don't be stingy with the fabric either; make yourself a few more outfits according to your own preferences.
"When we get married, I'll get you more fabric and make you several more outfits."
He Yuhan said, "It's easier for me to do these things than for you. You're so busy with work, so don't bother. I know you mean well."
Han Yixian held He Yuhan's hand and said, "No matter how busy I am with work, I can't neglect you. You are the most important person in my heart. I am happy to go to great lengths for you, and I enjoy the feeling of giving to the one I love."
He Yuhan noticed that Han Yixian was now able to use sweet words so easily and was becoming more and more adept at coaxing people, which was a huge change from before.
However, Han Yixian still maintains a cold and aloof demeanor in front of outsiders, perhaps only able to fully open up and reveal his true self in front of the person he loves.
