He Yuhan first looked at Gu Qishen and his elder brother's residence, which was an apartment building. Gu Qishen and He Zhenhua were both allocated two-bedroom apartments, which, given their status, were probably the best apartments in Qianyuan County. It was said that each apartment also had a storage room downstairs, which was really quite nice.
He Yuhan looked around and thought it was pretty good. The two of them were neighbors on the same floor, which would be convenient for their work and life in the future.
Gu Qishen and He Zhenhua were both single and their children weren't living with them, so they decided to live together from now on, which would be much more convenient.
He Yuhan looked around the house and saw that there was very little furniture and almost nothing else. There were many things that needed to be added.
He Yuhan said to He Zhenhua, "Brother, I see you're missing quite a few things here. Let's go out and buy some. Brother Gu, you can stay home and pack up first. Once we've bought the things, we'll go to Beili Village together."
As she spoke, He Yuhan winked at her older brother.
Although He Zhenhua didn't quite understand what his younger sister meant, he supported her and quickly said, "Yes, there are still many daily necessities to buy. Yuhan and I can go out for a while."
Gu Qishen said, "Alright, you two go ahead. If you see anything suitable, buy some for me too."
As he spoke, Gu Qishen slipped a handful of money and tickets into He Zhenhua's hand.
He Zhenhua didn't stand on ceremony, put it directly into his pocket, and then went out with He Yuhan.
Once they reached the street, He Yuhan said, "I prepared a lot of things for you in advance. We'll find a quiet place to take them out later. Let's go to the department store and grocery store first and buy some seasonings and such."
He Zhenhua knew some of his younger sister's secrets and knew that she had hidden talents, so he wasn't surprised. He smiled and said, "To be honest, I've always lived with Mom and Dad, so I've never really worried about this before. I'm not very good at decorating a house. Luckily you're here. I hope there won't be any problems with where Mom and Dad will live from now on?"
He Yuhan said, "Beili Village is a beautiful place with clear waters and lush mountains. Although it's a bit poor, the villagers are all very kind. I've finished decorating the new house, and my parents will be very comfortable living there."
My mother-in-law knows medicine, so she'll definitely be more popular. We live in the same county, so we can visit them often. This place is remote, which will save us a lot of trouble in the future.
The brother and sister went to the department store. He Yuhan saw that they sold bicycles, so she bought two, which Gu Qishen and her older brother would need in the future. Looking at the thermos flasks in the department store counter, He Yuhan bought two thermos flasks that were very characteristic of that era. She also bought kettles, pots and pans.
The brother and sister bought some more condiments like oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar, then pushed their bicycles back. Finding a secluded spot, He Yuhan took out two new quilts from her spatial storage, along with sheets, duvet covers, curtains, and other necessities—enough for both houses. She also packed several large bags of other household items, including pots, pans, and other kitchenware she had bought earlier, and two thermos flasks and kettles hanging from the handlebars before heading home.
He Zhenhua unloaded the items from both bicycles and pushed them into the downstairs storage room, so they didn't have to be carried upstairs.
He Yuhan looked at the small storage room, which was less than ten square meters. It was not bad for storing things that she wouldn't use often, and it also provided a place to put her bicycle.
Gu Qishen also came downstairs to help carry things. When he saw that the brother and sister had brought back so many things, he asked in surprise, "Why did you buy so much stuff?"
He Yuhan said, "These are all things you'll need. I had someone make these quilts a while ago, and I brought them back for you today. I'll make two more for you later, so the children can use them when they come."
After all the belongings were moved home, He Yuhan unpacked the bags and directed Gu Qishen and the others to hang up the curtains and make the beds. The house was already cleaned and just needed some tidying up.
After the room was furnished, although it was still missing a lot of things, it already looked like a home, and a warm one at that.
He Zhenhua laughed and said, "This is not bad. Yuhan is really resourceful. Buy a stove and some grain and we can start cooking ourselves."
He Yuhan said, "We can add the missing things slowly later. At least you're doing fine now."
Gu Qishen glanced at his watch and said, "Let's have lunch at the state-run restaurant, and then go to Beili Village."
He Zhenhua said, "We bought bicycles and came back, so we'll ride them back."
The three of them rode their bicycles to eat first, and then went to the department store to buy some pastries and candies before setting off.
He Zhenhua drove He Yuhan, while Gu Qishen carried the things. The three of them chatted and laughed all the way, and seemed quite at ease.
Along the way, Gu Qishen and He Zhenhua also took a general look at the condition of the farmland. From now on, Gu Qishen would be in charge of this area, and he also learned that Qianyuan County was very poor, so how to get it out of poverty was a problem he would have to worry about.
He Yuhan said, "There is a lot of farmland in Qianyuan County, because there are mountains, and some of it is terraced fields. You can do a survey later. There is no fertilizer plant in Qianyuan County, but we can build one ourselves and have Brother Yi order a set of equipment from the fertilizer equipment factory in the provincial capital."
Their fertilizer production equipment is quite good. Buying one set can significantly alleviate the fertilizer shortage in Qianyuan County.
Gu Qishen said, "You're right. To increase grain production, fertilizer needs to keep up. Farmyard manure alone is not enough. Building a fertilizer plant is indeed necessary. I'll hold a meeting to discuss this when I get back."
He Yuhan said, "I can provide you with some high-yield grain varieties at that time, and I believe the food problem will be alleviated soon."
He Zhenhua said, "In this way, the two of us can gain a foothold in Qianyuan County."
He Yuhan said, "It's a blessing for the people of Qianyuan County that you were able to come here. Otherwise, Brother Gu should be in a higher position. Governing Qianyuan County would be a waste of his talents."
Gu Qishen laughed and said, "Back in City C, without your and Yixian's help, how could I have found a good way to solve those thorny problems? Now that I'm in Qianyuan County, I still need your help. So don't say it's a waste of talent. Without you, I would be just as overwhelmed."
Besides, I prefer a quieter place, without so much backstabbing and intrigue.
He Zhenhua said, "Yes, this is just a remote small county town after all. The interpersonal relationships are much simpler, and few people from higher up pay attention to this place. It shouldn't be difficult for us to live a peaceful life here."
Once Yi Xian and his team have built the new factory, it won't be difficult for Qianyuan County to escape poverty.
He Yuhan said, "If the pharmaceutical factory develops well, it can develop related industrial chains, thereby driving the economic development of Qianyuan County. We'll have to see how things develop in the future."
The group's shared vision for the future along the way eased Gu Qishen's anxiety considerably. With the help of Han Yixian and He Yuhan, he believed that Qianyuan County would only get better and better.
