He let out a simple, comfortable sigh.
"Home-cooked meals are still the best!"
Qin Qinghuai focused intently on the hot pot, picking up pieces of meat with ease. He ate without even looking up, not even needing to use his chopsticks. Mingzhu and Lin Dongfang across from him exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with amusement.
A lot can be seen from the details; Qin Qinghuai seemed to care more than they thought.
Simple, and it seems like they're quite used to this way of getting along.
That's good, so even if they leave, they can feel more at ease.
After eating until she was half full, Jian Dan finally looked up and remembered to speak.
"call!
How much stuff do we still need to pack?
Qin Qinghuai didn't stop what he was doing; he just started talking.
"Besides the meat that wasn't cleaned outside, there was only the kitchen and some things in the east room left."
Anyway, there's room in the car. You're used to using everything, so bring as much as you can. The place over there isn't small; I only put in large furniture. Moving all this over won't be cramped.
After a quick look around, I realized that the room was originally furnished with shelves built directly against the wall. There wasn't much movable furniture to begin with. Over the years, there were only two cabinets, a table, a kang table, a few large stools, and a few small stools.
The kitchen and floor tools were quite complete, even more than most households had.
"The tools are fine, but can you move all my big and small vats? It's so far, it must be inconvenient."
Mingzhu also remembered,
"By the way, did you pickle sauerkraut this year?"
"Yes, I've pickled two big vats. I figured my second aunt was coming over, and she might come often, so I even prepared a lot more winter vegetables."
As she spoke, she glanced at Qin Qinghuai's expression.
"I also pickled several jars of vegetables and a small vat of salted duck eggs, all behind the firewood against the north wall of the kitchen. Those things are delicate, and they won't be convenient to transport on the road. Maybe we shouldn't bring them?"
Qin Qinghuai was taken aback for a moment, then smiled.
"You're so good at managing your finances!"
"It's alright, there's plenty of stuff. Just tie it up with rope, put it in a sack, and everything will be fine."
In the past, Jian Dan was always alone. Whether going out or not, she would just put all her things away in her personal space and leave only a small part outside to avoid attracting attention. She never worried about it.
Theoretically, it's fine, but she's not sure about the practical aspects. However, since someone else is in charge, she's happy to have some peace of mind.
"Okay, then we can move everything over here?"
“These are all your familiar things. Moving them over here will make it easier for you to do anything. Besides, if we move them all over at once, I can set them up when I get back while I have time, which will save you the trouble of tidying them up little by little.”
Everything's included. If something suddenly happens to me, it won't disrupt your normal life at home. If we find anything missing, we can gradually replace it.
She looked at him with simple surprise; he was quite thoughtful.
After eating and drinking their fill and putting the children to sleep, the two of them carried ten animals to the car. Lin Dongfang tidied up at home, while Qin Qinghuai took advantage of the darkness to deliver the meat to Cheng Chao.
Over the course of the meal, the group gained a genuine appreciation for Qin Qinghuai's thoughtfulness. While boiling water, Mingzhu remarked in admiration...
"I was initially worried because it was so sudden, I didn't know the person well, I didn't know their personality, and I wasn't sure if we could get along."
Upon closer inspection, I realized this person takes better care of you than you do yourself; I can't find any fault with them at all.
Even Jian Dan herself hadn't expected it. She had noticed and kept every detail of today's events in mind. To be honest, almost every step had been beyond her expectations.
"Perhaps it's because I'm not familiar with it yet, or perhaps it's because I'm strong enough?"
Mingzhu thought for a moment, then slowly shook her head.
"It doesn't seem like it. Even if it's an act, your eyes can't lie."
Moreover, when I look at his movements, they are all subconscious and natural; there is not a trace of deliberate effort in them.
To be honest, if I didn't know you two had just met, I would have thought you were an old married couple. Those subconscious actions of his—really, even Lin Dongfang couldn't do some of them.
This isn't Mingzhu complaining; it's just the truth. Everyone has a different personality, and Mingzhu knows that Lin Dongfang usually does everything perfectly in every aspect, but he's just not a very meticulous person.
As Jian Dan moved the jar in her hands, it would be a lie to say that she wasn't moved. She was somewhat cold-hearted and not very emotionally intelligent, but she wasn't truly heartless or ungrateful.
To be honest, in the years since she transmigrated, she has kept her distance from everyone. The closest she's been to Mingzhu and Tanya Jun are not really close friends.
Especially after both of them started their own families, their focus naturally shifted to their families. It could be said that they devoted themselves to Jian Dan, putting her first in their words, actions, and overall devotion. This was truly the first time in history that they had done so.
The feeling is naturally different.
No matter how capable she is, she is still a young girl who hasn't yet experienced love. After living alone for several years, it goes without saying that someone is showing her such thoughtful care, and he is her soon-to-be legal husband.
Over there, Qin Qinghuai drove straight to the garrison. Cheng Chao was taken aback when he saw him. He had been so busy lately that he hadn't gone out at all and had completely forgotten about Jian Dan's situation. Upon seeing Qin Qinghuai, he was stunned, and his first words were...
What are you doing here? Has something happened over there?
Qin Qinghuai grinned, revealing a set of bright white teeth.
"Brother, my marriage application has been approved."
Cheng Chao...
"You, you little wolf cub, you've finally managed to get your hands on my sister!"
