The house was designed by He Yuhan, and she didn't create a complicated design, but rather drew up plans that incorporated the characteristics of local houses. For convenience, it includes a kitchen and bathroom. He Yuhan strives to ensure her family's quality of life, so the living conditions are paramount.
The He and Han families built their houses next to each other, so the two families could live together and look after each other. When Han Yixian and his family returned, they could take care of the elderly on both sides.
Han Yixian also had a hand pump well dug in the yard so that the elderly could have convenient access to water in the future.
There's so much to do: arranging the house construction and preparing furniture.
He Yuhan's space is furnished with a lot of furniture, all made of solid wood. She designed it herself after learning she was moving here, and then had Du Zhuoyuan find someone to make it. The furniture is very rustic and suitable for modern use. He Yuhan did this to save time.
Even after the house is built, it still needs to be tidied up and furnished. She'll have to take the furniture out of the space, and she'll have to arrange many things.
Seeing that Han Yixian no longer needed to oversee the construction, He Yuhan wanted him to go back first. She would stay here and keep an eye on things with her uncle, as she was worried about leaving him alone.
After listening to his wife's words, Han Yixian said, "If you and your uncle stay here, what will happen to the family? The children can't keep going without seeing you."
He Yuhan said, "We've been out for about twenty days now, so I guess the baby is used to being with his mother. The baby has formula to drink and can eat some other foods now. As long as he's well taken care of, I'll be fine even without him."
Even after the house is built, there will still be a lot of things to do. I'm worried that my uncle won't be able to manage it all by himself, and I don't want to keep troubling Uncle Gao and the others. My uncle is so old; I'm afraid of tiring him out.
"You've been out for so many days, you should go back now. You still need to go back and hand over your work."
Han Yixian knew his wife was right, but the thought of being separated from her for a month or two made him really reluctant.
Seeing that Han Yixian was frowning and not speaking, He Yuhan continued to persuade him, "Once the house is built, I will furnish it as soon as possible, and then I will go home and move in with you. I estimate it will be finished in a month."
Han Yixian said, "Can it really be finished in a month? Isn't there still the wall to be built around the yard? That will take quite a while too."
He Yuhan said, "With so many people in the village helping out, it will be quick. Building a wall doesn't require any special skills, and with more people, it will be faster. It will definitely be finished in a month."
The furniture is all in the room, so only I can manage. There are also many household items that need to be prepared. These things are quite varied, and I don't want my uncle to worry about them. He'll have to ask Uncle Gao and the others to help him buy them in the county town, which is much more convenient than me preparing them myself.
I'll drive back with all the furniture and household items, so we won't bother anyone. I'll go back as soon as the house is all set up; it'll be quick, so please promise me. I'll make the house as comfortable as possible, so my parents will be comfortable when they come to stay."
He Yuhan shook Han Yixian's hand, which immediately made Han Yixian's heart flutter. He rarely saw his wife act coquettishly towards him, which was really irresistible.
Finally, Han Yixian said helplessly, "Then you have to come back as soon as possible. I'm waiting for you to come back so we can move together."
He Yuhan nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll go back as soon as possible. Before you leave, let's go into the mountains today and hunt a couple of wild boars to share with the people who helped us, so everyone can have a taste."
Han Yixian naturally listened to his wife. He Yuhan pretended to take out a bow and arrow from her suitcase, and the two of them asked the Gao family for some rope before heading into the mountains.
When Gao Shuwen heard that Han Yixian and his wife were going into the mountains, he was worried, so he sent his second, third, and fourth sons with them. The eldest son stayed home to continue overseeing the house construction.
Gao Shuwen didn't expect Han Yixian and his group to be heading into the deep mountains; he thought they were just wandering around the outskirts, so he didn't stop them.
The youngest, the fourth brother, was already seventeen, a strong young man at the prime of his life. Han Yixian, seeing that these brothers could help carry the wild boar, agreed to let three of them come along.
There are quite a few wild boars in Y province, but they live deep in the mountains. Because they are too dangerous, people rarely provoke them, otherwise they will not only fail to get pork but also lose their lives.
Han Yixian led He Yuhan ahead, with the Gao brothers following behind.
Before heading into the mountains, He Yuhan gave each of the three Gao brothers a medicine packet to repel snakes and insects. Who knows what dangers they might encounter? It's best to be cautious.
Once inside the mountains, Han Yixian led the way, shooting any pheasants or rabbits he encountered with a single arrow. This way, even if they didn't encounter any wild boars, they wouldn't return empty-handed.
The three Gao brothers were extremely envious of Han Yixian's skills. If they had those skills, would it be difficult to eat meat?
However, they also knew that it would be very difficult to reach Brother Han's level.
They may not have the skill, but they are strong enough to carry prey.
As they ventured deeper into the mountains, Gao Guoan said, "Brother Han, let's not go any further. If we go any further, we'll be in the deep mountains, and we might encounter wild boars, which is very dangerous."
Han Yixian said, "Today we just want to hunt two wild boars to share with everyone. If we do encounter any wild boars, just follow my instructions and you won't be in any danger."
The Gao brothers were also excited. Maybe they could really hunt a wild boar today. Brother Han's skills should be enough to handle a wild boar.
They all said they would follow instructions. The five of them then continued deeper into the mountains.
Persistence pays off, and they actually encountered several wild boars drinking spring water in a mountain valley.
Han Yixian quietly instructed Gao Guoan and his brothers to climb up a tree, preferably a very thick and sturdy one, as it would be safer that way.
Then he and He Yuhan each climbed one of the two big trees. The Gao brothers were quite surprised to see He Yuhan's nimble tree-climbing skills; they hadn't expected her to have such abilities.
All five people climbed up the big tree. Han Yixian observed for a while and found there were four wild boars in total, two large and two small. Han Yixian decided to keep the two large ones and let the two small ones go.
Han Yi first aimed at the eye of a wild boar and shot the arrow.
Han Yixian's archery skills were unparalleled; his arrow pierced the eye of the largest wild boar. Immediately after firing the first arrow, Han Yixian released a second, also aimed at the eye of another wild boar.
Both wild boars were shot in the eyes, and the Gao brothers in the tree were overjoyed, knowing they would have wild boar meat to eat.
The two wild boars squealed and thrashed about for a while before collapsing and remaining motionless. The other two small wild boars, already panicked, screamed and ran away when they saw the big boar was dead.
After a while, the two wild boars still didn't make a move, so Han Yi asked the others to wait and went down to check.
