Qin Qinghuai was also thinking about his wife's secret, so he never intended for everyone to crowd into his house, as it would be inconvenient for everyone.
"Alright, stop thinking about that. When are they arriving? Which house? We still need to tidy up and see what's missing, and get it ready as soon as possible."
Their courtyard was on the far west side, but there were two other courtyards on the west side, which had always been empty. They were close to the foot of the mountain and no one came here, so Qin Qinghuai simply chose this place, which was also convenient to take care of.
However, this courtyard is similar to theirs; both have been abandoned for several years, with weeds growing everywhere and the houses needing to be cleaned up, so the workload is actually quite considerable.
However, Qin Qinghuai was naturally reluctant to let his wife do these rough jobs, so he asked Qin Yi to find a few people to come over. The soldiers worked quickly and efficiently, and by evening, the courtyard was completely transformed.
The weeds have been cleared away, the house and courtyard walls have been repaired and reinforced, and a new heated kang (a traditional Chinese bed-stove) has been built. The basic sanitation is almost complete; all that's left is to add furniture and daily necessities.
After looking around, he simply invited them over for dinner. This was a private job they were doing for the political commissar's family, so a meal was a must.
The next day, in the capital, Qin Qingze saw the old man, his wife, and their five children off on the train. However, they were still accompanied by two bodyguards, which was normal treatment for someone of their rank.
However, Qin Qingze was relieved to hear this; otherwise, he would have had to take leave to deliver it personally. Watching the train depart, Sun Jianhong couldn't help but tear up.
"Qingze, I want to confront Fang He right now. My child is perfectly fine. When will I ever see him again?"
Now she doesn't even want to call her sister-in-law anymore.
"And my parents, I saw that half of my dad's hair has turned white."
Qin Qingze was well aware of this.
"Wait a minute, my brother will be back tomorrow night. Let's see how he reacts first."
From now on, Mom and Dad will have to rely on our third son and his wife.
Sun Jianhong rubbed her eyes.
"We're so glad my third sister-in-law is such a good person. Otherwise, which family would want all these kids? The young couple is living a good life. They don't even have any children of their own, yet they've brought so many nephews over, saying that their parents will take care of them. But with their parents being so old, their sister-in-law will inevitably have to worry about them too."
After their child left, both parents felt a void in their hearts, and Qin Qingze, the father, was no exception.
"Yes, my parents have been in the military all these years. They haven't had to worry about anything at home. I bet my younger siblings have to take care of everything, from changing clothes for the seasons to doing laundry and cooking."
The more the couple talked, the more upset they became. Their parents had always had a caregiver at home, except when they were on the battlefield and after the founding of the People's Republic of China when they held high positions. But now that they were old, they still had to do the work themselves.
The more they thought about it, the deeper their hatred for Fang He became.
"No way, I can't swallow this. If you can tolerate this, I won't stand for it. I'll smash her face to pieces with my own hands."
Their train journey was a bit faster; it would take two days to get from the capital to Anji County. Qin Qinghuai and Jian Dan weren't in a hurry. They got furniture from the logistics department and found suitable bedding, pots and pans, oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar from their spatial storage. They also put some grain in. Anyway, to outsiders, it would look like they took it from their own home, so they weren't afraid of arousing suspicion.
After looking around twice, he nodded simply in satisfaction.
“This kang will be ready to live in after two more days of heating. It will be ready around the time they arrive. Oh, and firewood too. It’s warm now, so we don’t need to heat the kang. The heat from cooking is enough. Let’s bring some from home.”
"Okay, I'll go back and move it."
Qin Qinghuai rolled up his sleeves and walked back. It was just a wall away, only a few steps. Jian Dan didn't try to stop him. She checked inside and out to make sure nothing was missed before locking the door and going back.
"The garden over there is still empty. Can I bring some seedlings over?"
Since the space was shared, Qin Qinghuai naturally knew the origin of this talent, but he shook his head.
"No need. We'll just send it over and let them handle it themselves. It'll keep them busy and prevent them from having nothing better to do than overthink things."
"That's true. I'll make some in a bit."
The neighbor's yard is also quite large, and the garden is about the same size. If we plant vegetables there, we'll have something to do every day, and we can spare some of our energy.
With so many people this time, Qin Qinghuai didn't plan to drive a small car. Instead, he applied for a large van with a cargo box, which made Jian Dan's lips twitch.
"Who are you planning to have sit in the back?"
The road conditions are terrible now; even small cars can't avoid the bumps, let alone large vehicles. The jolting and swaying inside the truck is quite an ordeal.
"They're just kids, what are they afraid of? Not only are we going to pick them up, but Brother Chao is back too, he might even arrive before them,"
"Huh? You're not going to use this cart to transport piglets, are you?"
"No, he drove there; the piglets were already on their way."
He also got more than ten threshing machines and found a trucking company to transport them, which conveniently brought them back when we arrived.”
"ah!"
After noon that day, Qin Qinghuai didn't have enough time to go into the space to study anything, so he still had no clue about the automatic machinery and didn't dare to say anything for the time being. This threshing machine was obviously a good thing.
As for Jian Dan, during her years in Liujiatun, she knew she couldn't bring these things out, so she never bothered to look at them carefully. It was only after Qin Qinghuai mentioned them that she finally looked through them. There were some books about agricultural machinery, but she couldn't get into them. She had planned to give them to her husband, but then this happened, and she forgot about them.
