"Husband, is this our new home?" Su Wenyue looked at the small courtyard in front of her, her heart leaping with excitement. During the days at the Han family, she really couldn't think of it as her home. Even after they separated, they always lived in the same courtyard, which made her feel uncomfortable. This was the real "home" in her heart, her and Han Yu's common home. She tried hard to remember some things from her previous life. They would live here for at least one or two years.
"Yes, I'll take you to see our new home." Han Yu was also very interested. He took Su Wenyue's hand and gave a general introduction to the situation in the yard.
"You see, although this place is simple, it is spacious. Although it is just a courtyard, there are many rooms. It is spacious enough for us to live in. There is also a vegetable garden in the back, which is rented together. If you like, you can let Xiaoxi grow her favorite vegetables there.
"It's very good, I like this place very much. My husband, this place you found is really good. My husband is really capable!" Su Wenyue praised her man without hesitation. In fact, she was really satisfied with the place Han Yu chose. Although the yard looked a little old, it was very tidy and clean everywhere. They only needed to move their things in and clean up a little before they could move in.
Xiaoxi followed behind and was obviously very fond of this courtyard. Although it was not as good as the Su family's, it was already quite good compared to the simple conditions of the Han family. She also had her own room, and the most important thing was that she didn't have to move around under the gaze of others. Especially when she was cooking, Liu always stared at her with a greedy look. She must be under a lot of pressure!
"Okay, just take a quick look. You and the baby in your belly must be tired after a whole day's travel. Go and have a rest first. We'll have to stay here for quite a while in the future, so there's plenty of time for you to study 'our home' to your heart's content!" Han Yu said jokingly when he saw that Su Wenyue was still energetic and wanted to take a look around the yard. Xiaoxi had already tidied up the master bedroom at this time, so Han Yu hugged Su Wenyue and asked her to lie down and have a rest.
"Xiao Xi, go clean up the kitchen first and make some food for Yue Niang. It's not convenient to be in the carriage today. All we have to eat is dry food, and nothing warm can warm our wounds." Han Yu sent Xiao Xi to the kitchen and he was not idle either. He cleaned up the room by himself. Children from poor families have to learn everything and their family is not so particular.
Su Wenyue quietly watched Han Yu tidy up the room, feeling particularly peaceful and satisfied in her heart. With such a husband, what could she be dissatisfied with? Han Yu was really a very good husband. It was thanks to her grandfather's good vision that he could see Han Yu's potential so early and engaged him. Otherwise, when Han Yu became successful in the future, how could she have the chance to marry such a good husband?
After a whole day's journey, she was indeed a little tired. She was pregnant and did not have enough energy. Su Wenyue went to bed early after dinner and had a good night's sleep. When she woke up the next day, Han Yu was no longer around. He had gone to the town to do some business. However, before leaving, he asked Xiaoxi to prepare and arrange everything that Su Wenyue would eat in the morning.
After moving into the new home, Su Wenyue couldn't sit still after breakfast and took Xiaoxi to visit the new home. She only took a quick look yesterday and didn't take a close look. Today, she felt that it looked different. She noted down the places in the yard that were not pleasing and planned to ask Xiaoxi to help her rearrange it later.
"Miss, you have walked a long way. You should take a rest. These things are not urgent. My master knows your temper and has specially instructed me to watch you and make sure you don't get tired." Xiaoxi saw that Su Wenyue had walked around most of the yard and didn't stop to rest.
Su Wenyue also felt a little tired, so she sat down to rest for a while, then went to the vegetable garden at the back. Because it had been abandoned for too long, the vegetable garden at the back was overgrown with grass. It took a lot of work just to reclaim it. The area of the vegetable garden was indeed large enough, about three or four acres in size, and there was also a small river there, which was just right for irrigation. It would be best to grow some edible vegetables there on weekdays.
"Miss, this place is really good for growing vegetables. Although it's abandoned now, the soil is fertile and the vegetables grown here are guaranteed to grow well." Xiaoxi said happily, eager to try and want to start right away. If she didn't have to take care of Su Wenyue, Xiaoxi would have rolled up her sleeves and started working.
"You look like a seasoned veteran." Su Wenyue said with a smile, a hint of sarcasm in her words.
Xiao Xi responded to Su Wenyue's words without being modest: "That's right. I helped you with your work during that time. I didn't stay in the farm for nothing. I learned a lot. Besides, I was born in a farm family. When I was a child, I often followed my family to work in the fields. Farming is not difficult for me. You can just wait to eat the vegetables I grow. I guarantee that they are better than those grown by ordinary farmers."
"Is anyone there? Is Captain Han's wife at home?" Su Wenyue and Xiaoxi had just returned to the front yard for a short time when they heard someone knocking on the door. At first, they were a little slow to react when someone called Captain Han's wife, but then they thought about the fact that Han Yu's current official position was a captain of the eighth rank.
Xiao Xile ran over to open the door, and saw a woman in her twenties wearing autumn-colored clothes standing at the door, holding a basket in her hands and with a smile on her face.
"Who are you?" Su Wenyue and Xiaoxi were both new here and didn't recognize anyone.
"My last name is Zhao, and my husband is Liu Cong, an eighth-rank lieutenant and a subordinate of Captain Han. We will work together in the future. I heard the noise here yesterday and thought that the captain's wife had arrived, so I came here specially to visit today. The men work together in the barracks, so we women should also visit each other and take care of each other on a daily basis." Liu Zhaoshi spoke very fluently and seemed to be a straightforward person.
"It's Madam Zhao. Please come in! I'm new here and I don't recognize many people. I hope you can forgive me for any inconvenience. I'll take you to see our lady right away." Xiaoxi was brought up in the Su family. She had good manners and etiquette. When she heard Liu Zhao introduce herself, she was not flustered and politely let the person in.
"Thank you." Zhao nodded secretly. Even the maids in the house were so well-mannered, well-dressed, and spoke and behaved like those who were trained by a wealthy family. She had a higher opinion of Su Wenyue. She originally thought that Captain Han was from a peasant family, and didn't know how he got to this position. His wife must be vulgar. After all, the wife from a peasant family couldn't even read a single word, let alone other things. Now it seems that this is not entirely true. Thinking of this, she is looking forward to meeting the captain's wife.
