After a busy day, He Yuhan felt sticky all over. She needed to take a shower quickly, otherwise she wouldn't be able to sleep. She packed all the clothes she had brought into the closet and found the pajamas that she and Han Yixian would wear later.
She prepared her clothes and said, "Brother Yi, let's go inside the space to take a bath. It's too inconvenient to bathe outside. I'll bring out a bathtub and a tub later. There's no bathroom in this courtyard, it's too inconvenient to take a bath."
Han Yixian thought about it and said, "It is indeed inconvenient. In a few days, Qi Shen and I will build two bathrooms in the two courtyards. We can put toiletries in them and it will be convenient to take a bath. Also, there is no toilet in this courtyard. If we want to use the toilet, we have to go to the public toilet outside the alley. It is too inconvenient. We need to build a toilet."
He Yuhan said, "The toilet can be built in the southeast corner of the yard. Dig a septic tank and build a clean flush toilet."
To make life more comfortable, issues like bathing and using the restroom need to be properly addressed.
Han Yixian said, "I'll prepare the materials later. The three of us can build it quickly during our off-get off work break."
The two of them took their clothes and went into the space. They then took a refreshing hot shower.
With no one else at home this time, and no need to get up early tomorrow, Han Yixian let loose and thoroughly toyed with He Yuhan. He had been missing his wife a lot while she was away, and this time he was finally satisfied.
The two eventually went back to sleep in their new bed in their new home outside the space. It was their first time sleeping in a new bed in a new home, so they needed to get used to it.
However, both of them, feeling satisfied yet exhausted, slept soundly without hesitation. Han Yixian felt very content at the thought of being able to sleep with his wife in his arms from now on.
When He Yuhan woke up the next day, it was already broad daylight. She turned her head and looked at the spot next to her; Han Yixian was no longer there. She stretched in bed, hugged the blanket, and thought about how she would be living in this new home from now on, feeling quite happy.
He Yuhan listened intently to the sounds coming from the kitchen outside; it must be her husband making breakfast. This guy, he has plenty of food in his space, why bother with all that trouble? But she wouldn't complain about her husband's thoughtfulness.
Han Yi first prepared breakfast and placed it on the dining table in the living room before going into the bedroom.
He Yuhan smiled at Han Yixian, who was wearing a floral apron, and said, "Good morning, husband."
Han Yixian replied in kind, "Good morning, wife. Breakfast is ready. Do you want to get up and eat, or sleep a little longer?"
He Yuhan said, "I'd better get up. Help me up." As she spoke, she extended her hand to Han Yixian.
Seeing this, Han Yixian pulled He Yuhan up. He Yuhan went to wash up, and Han Yixian folded the blankets. After tidying up, Han Yixian and He Yuhan sat down at the dining table together.
Looking at the perfectly fried eggs, the golden scallion pancakes, and the thick rice porridge, He Yuhan immediately felt hungry.
She laughed and said, "Brother Yi, your cooking skills are getting better and better. I haven't had your cooking in so long."
Han Yixian placed a poached egg into He Yuhan's empty bowl and said with a smile, "That's all thanks to your excellent teaching. If you like my cooking, I'll cook for you often from now on, and I'll cook for you for the rest of my life."
He Yuhan blushed slightly and glared at Han Yixian, saying, "Your sweet talk skills are getting more and more refined; you can just open your mouth and it comes out naturally."
Han Yixian pretended to be serious and said, "This is not sweet talk; it is my true feeling."
He Yuhan smiled and said, "I know, I believe you."
Han Yixian said, "I was supposed to make you some chicken soup, but the chicken has to be taken from my space. I didn't wake you up since you were sleeping so soundly. You can eat a few more poached eggs."
He Yuhan also put a fried egg on Han Yixian's plate and said, "You should eat more. Look how much weight you've lost. It will take me a long time to make up for it."
Han Yixian said, "To be honest, without you by my side, I don't feel like eating anything. Not to mention I don't get to eat anything good at all. Qianyuan County is really too poor, resources are scarce, and many supplies are not available, especially food. If it weren't for the fact that we can eat wild vegetables all year round, I really don't know what would happen to us."
There are many mountains here, and the total arable land area is not large. Coupled with low grain yields, there is a significant grain shortage every year. Qi Shenlai is under considerable pressure in Qianyuan County.”
He Yuhan nodded and said, "Yes, back in City C, at least you helped him share some of the burden. Your position in City C allowed you to get supplies for him, and it was all legitimate. Now that you're the factory manager of the pharmaceutical plant, you can't manage the supply of materials anymore. Not to mention the economic aspects, just the supply of materials is enough to give Brother Gu a headache."
"Brother Yi, should we help him?"
Han Yixian shook his head and said, "It's not advisable for us to make a move now. I haven't fully grasped the situation and relationships in Qianyuan County yet. We need to keep a low profile and be cautious in everything we do. As for helping Qi Shen, we can talk about that later."
After breakfast, the two continued tidying up their new home, wiping down all the furniture. Han Yixian even mixed some mud to seal the gaps in the kitchen stove to prevent smoke from escaping when the fire was lit.
There's a small flower bed under the window of the main house in the courtyard, filled with some flowers and plants. It looks quite nice.
He Yuhan saw some weeds growing in the vegetable garden and pulled them all out, since they would be eating the vegetables in the garden themselves from now on.
Han Yixian watched as his wife cleared the weeds from the vegetable patch, then drew water from the well and watered all the vegetables.
The two of them were very enthusiastic about tidying up their little home, and they would fix anything that didn't look right to them.
After the two of them had been busy for a while, Han Yi checked the time and said, "Yu Han, Qi Shen and the others will be getting off work soon at noon. I'll go help them move."
He Yuhan said, "I won't go with you. I'll cook at home, so you can have dinner as soon as you come in."
Han Yixian said, "Okay, let's arrange it this way."
Han Yi washed his hands, changed his clothes, and drove to the county committee's residential compound. When he arrived at the entrance of Gu Qishen's building, he ran into Gu Qishen and He Zhenhua, who were riding their bicycles back.
Han Yixian asked, "Is everything packed?"
Gu Qishen nodded and said, "Everything is packed. We'll move everything over today. We'll hand over the keys tomorrow."
Without delay, the three of them started moving things downstairs and loading them all onto the truck.
The neighbors were all curious as to why Gu Qishen and his family had moved out again so soon after moving in. Could there have been some changes?
Some people knew the inside story, that Gu Qishen and the others had voluntarily given up their house to avoid gossip and had bought their own houses to live in.
Some people were secretly pleased that Gu Qishen and his group had moved out, wondering if they could apply for the vacant house. In short, the house that Gu Qishen and his group had just vacated was immediately coveted by others.
