This person is He Yujie. He wanted to see if Su Xueli had returned home.
He came in when he saw the courtyard gate was open.
"What time did you get back?" he asked as soon as he came in and saw Su Xueli.
When Su Xueli saw him arrive, she quickly offered him a seat and said, "I've been here for a while. Have you eaten, Teacher He?"
He Yujie said, "I just ate. I'm on my way to school, so I stopped by to see if you were back. By the way, you talked to your parents last night, right? They didn't complain about anything, did they?"
He finished speaking and looked at her with concern.
Su Xueli said, "Thank you for your concern, Teacher He. My parents have accepted it without any problems."
He Yujie said, "That's great. As long as they can accept it, they won't have any objections to you living here, right?"
Su Xueli nodded: "No objection. They were worried that I wouldn't be able to withstand the gossip from the villagers, so this way out of sight, out of mind. By the way, my parents have both been here and are very satisfied with this courtyard. Thank you so much, Teacher He."
He Yujie looked at Su Xueli and said, "Xueli, I don't want to hear you say thank you anymore. It's not good to be so polite. We're friends now, right?"
Su Xueli said, "Of course we're friends, and I hope we can become good friends."
He Yujie smiled and said, "Okay, I'm going to class now. If you need anything, just let me know. If it's inconvenient for you to contact me, just tell Yulan at the hair salon."
"Okay, Teacher He, then I won't see you off."
After He Yujie left, Su Xueli prepared to tidy up the courtyard. From now on, this would be her home, and she wanted to make it the way she liked it.
She has loved growing flowers since she was a child, but her family raised pigs, geese, and chickens, so she couldn't grow flowers at all, which has always been a regret for her.
She could do whatever she wanted here; she wanted to turn this courtyard into a garden.
Spring has arrived, so she went to the market to buy some flower seeds and sowed them. They sprouted as soon as the weather warmed up, and when it got even warmer, they bloomed. How beautiful!
The courtyard had everything she needed. She found a shovel, grabbed the handle, and started turning over the soil.
The ground wasn't completely thawed yet, and it was still very hard underneath, but Su Xueli was an impatient person. She was eager to do things well once she wanted to, so she didn't wait even though it was hard to turn over. She used all her strength to push the shovel into the soil.
She quickly got sweaty, so she took off her coat and continued tilling the land wearing only a light red sweater.
With a "whoosh," Wei Mingshen arrived driving a mule cart, which was full of thatch.
Su Xueli's eyes lit up when she saw the thatch, completely forgetting her father's instructions. She skipped and hopped to the gate, "You brought the thatch? Come in quickly, come in quickly, let's see where to put it."
Wei Mingshen led the mule into the yard, pointed to a shed near the toilet and said, "Just put it in the shed, that way it won't get wet in the rain."
Su Xueli agreed: "Yes, yes, that's a good idea. Let's put it in the shed, but we need to tidy it up a bit."
Wei Mingshen parked the mule cart in the middle of the yard and said, "I'll take care of it. You put these little people away."
I couldn't bring these figurines with me when I went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce yesterday. They're still at Wei Mingshen's house, and he brought them over today.
Su Xueli happily accepted the half-snake-skin bag of straw-woven products and ran inside to find a place to put it.
When she came out, Wei Mingshen had already taken off his coat and was only wearing a military green shirt, with his sleeves rolled up as he tidied up the shed.
Beneath his shirt, the outline of his strong and perfect waist was clearly visible, and the muscles on his bare arms bulged. Su Xueli was stunned.
"What are you looking at? It's not like we haven't seen it before," he said casually with his back to her.
Su Xueli's face flushed red, but she retorted stubbornly, "Who's looking at you? I'm looking at how you've tidied up."
"See for yourself, what's there to be ashamed of? We've already slept together."
