A joke made the two elderly people laugh.
"Qin Jing, come in and take a look too. This is Uncle and Aunt's house, just like the other side. It will all be your own house from now on, understand?"
There's water and snacks on the table. Help yourself, but please wash your hands first.
After saying that, he didn't care about the children.
"Mom and Dad, these are the vegetables we grow here. It gets warmer here later than in other places, so they're smaller."
"You didn't have time to turn the soil over, but I still have some seedlings. Let's plant them tomorrow if we have time."
“Okay, okay, perfect! Your dad's been complaining about not farming for years, let's do it tomorrow!”
The two people went inside, looked around, and then came out.
“Daughter-in-law, you’ve been busy all day, so don’t keep up. Let’s go back and check on the odds and ends. I need to take care of them myself.”
"Okay, by the way, Mom, I didn't think about having guards. There might not be enough rooms. Are they staying here long-term? If they are, can we find someone to build a small room like this here tomorrow?"
Next to the west wall of the simple house was a shed they built to store firewood; if they were to build a house, it should be on that west wall.
The old man thought about it.
"Okay, one is fine too,"
"Then I'll have Xiao Yi find some people to stay with him for a few days? The house is small, so it'll be quick."
"Boss, we can sleep on the floor. I see there's a small room in the back; we can tidy that up."
This house is similar to the one in Jian Dan's area, with two rooms on the east and west sides. However, the west room is not as wide, and there is a slightly smaller room at the back, with one side next to the west room and the other side next to the back wall. It looks like it's for storing odds and ends. It's not very big. It's okay for one person, but not very spacious for two people. However, it's fine if you're just sleeping.
"Uh, that room doesn't have a kang (heated brick bed). If people want to live there, they'll need to build one."
The old man went in and took a look.
“Okay, then you don’t need to sleep on the floor. Let the two younger ones sleep with us tonight, and you can stay in the west room with Qin Jing and the others. I think that kang (heated brick bed) is big enough.”
"Take your time tidying up this house, no rush. It's a place people live in, so we can't be too careless."
With that arrangement made, Jian Dan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mom and Dad, you two rest for a while. I'll go back and cook. Let's have dinner at our place tonight to welcome you back."
Watching Jian Dan walk around the gate and return to his own yard, the old lady looked excited.
"Old man, let me tell you, we made the right choice coming here."
