Lin Ying was still a little confused when Zhao Qinghuai entered the room. She sat in the kitchen for a long time before realizing the meaning of what Zhao Qinghuai had just said.
It turns out she was already married, and this wasn't just a temporary refuge for her, but her future home.
Thinking about Zhao Qinghuai's words about "a lifetime," and looking at how dilapidated the place was, Lin Ying felt a sense of belonging for the first time.
There's a difference between staying temporarily and staying at home. When staying temporarily at someone else's house, Lin Ying would prioritize not troubling them. But this is her future home, so Lin Ying feels that every corner needs to be properly decorated.
Because it's a family compound, the houses can't be altered without permission, but building a shed for the toilet or kitchen is allowed.
Just like Lin Ying's house, the current kitchen is a shed built by the previous resident. This shed is only used in the summer. In the winter, everyone cooks at home because it is too cold here.
However, even in the summer, the shed was drafty and leaky, which was a problem, so Lin Ying decided to renovate it properly.
She has the memories of the youngest son, and the youngest son's mind contains memories of the future. In addition, she has gradually developed her practical skills by combining the memories of the youngest son with her own. Lin Ying feels that she is now terrifyingly strong.
She was very excited; she realized that even without traditional Chinese medicine, there were other interesting things in her life.
Full of fighting spirit, Lin Ying grabbed her machete and headed up the mountain. Lin Ying was strong, and soon after reaching the top, she found a tree that looked quite good and began chopping away. Before long, a large tree crashed to the ground, startling the surrounding small animals into scattering in all directions.
Lin Ying was also worried that she might accidentally hurt someone if someone came while she was cutting down trees, so she went to a relatively remote place. In addition, there weren't many people in the family compound, so even though Lin Ying made quite a commotion, she still didn't attract the attention of others.
In Lin Ying's hands, a machete was like a magical weapon. With her swing, branches from the big tree were all cut down. Lin Ying didn't throw them away, but instead organized them and tied them up with hemp rope.
The tree she cut down was then cut into two-meter sections by Lin Ying, who carried them home one by one.
The news of Lin Ying's great strength had spread throughout the family compound recently. In this era of food and drink scarcity, it was already enviable that Lin Ying was as plump as she was. When people heard that she was strong, they were even more envious.
Seeing others carrying firewood home time and time again, who wouldn't want to do the same? But they just can't.
So when they saw Lin Ying carrying a tree home, they could only say sourly, "She really is the daughter of a capitalist. We don't have the ability to raise a child this strong."
Later, everyone simply stopped caring and avoiding the issue. There were so many trees on the mountain; every household would cut them down, and you couldn't very well cause trouble for someone over this. Otherwise, you'd just be tarnishing your husband's reputation for no reason.
Besides, that man is a regimental commander, the highest-ranking officer in their division. Although this division has three regiments, plus the political commissar, there are six officers like Zhao Qinghuai, but they are still higher than these deputy regimental and battalion commanders.
When Zhao Qinghuai woke up, he found a lot more wood in his yard, but he couldn't find Lin Yingren anywhere.
He searched for a long time but couldn't find anyone. Just then, he saw Li Yue'e coming out of her house and blurted out, "Sister-in-law, have you seen my husband?"
Li Yue'e greeted Zhao Qinghuai happily: "You're awake? Don't worry, your sister went up the mountain. If you ask me, Commander Zhao is really lucky to have married such a capable wife as my sister. Although her family is wealthy, she's not delicate at all when it comes to work."
When Zhao Qinghuai heard Li Yue'e say that Lin Ying was on the mountain, he couldn't help but feel a little worried: "Well, sister-in-law, could you go up the mountain to check on her for me?"
Li Yue'e knew that newlyweds were very affectionate, so she smiled and waved her hand, saying, "Go on, go on."
When Zhao Qinghuai looked for Lin Ying, Lin Ying wasn't cutting down trees; instead, she was digging for wild vegetables and gathering herbs. She had already cut down two trees and transported them back. Next, she needed to dry the trees, peel off the bark, and cut them into planks.
There was no way to cut the wooden planks with a machete, and Lin Ying didn't have a saw, so she could only think of going to town tomorrow to see if there were any for sale.
Moreover, two trees a day is already incredible; if there were too many, the people around would be jealous.
In addition, she also planned to gather some sleep-aiding herbs today, as forcing her to shut down her computer had always been too painful.
Lin Ying has a psychological trauma. She knows that medication can't solve it, so she can only try some sleep-inducing incense in the hope that it will work. Otherwise, she will still have to give herself acupuncture.
When Zhao Qinghuai found Lin Ying, she had already collected a basketful of various things and was preparing to go back.
Seeing Lin Ying like this, Zhao Qinghuai quickly went over and took the basket from behind her.
Feeling the weight of the basket on his back, Zhao Qinghuai felt even more distressed: "Why did you make so many? If you're missing anything, we'll buy it tomorrow."
To everyone's surprise, Lin Ying glanced at Zhao Qinghuai, then reached out and took the basket from his hands, even weighing it in his hand in front of him. This action immediately shut Zhao Qinghuai up.
Zhao Qinghuai had known Lin Ying before and had been silently watching her ever since. He was certain that the Lin Ying of the past did not have such great strength.
Lin Ying naturally noticed Zhao Qinghuai's confusion, then pointed to the flesh on her body and gestured a couple of times, implying that this might be a sequela of poisoning.
Zhao Qinghuai guessed the same thing, and became even more worried: "Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? Should we go see Grandpa tomorrow?"
Lin Ying certainly wanted to see her grandfather and get cured of the poison as soon as possible, but she knew that going now would make her grandfather's future life more difficult and would also cause trouble for Zhao Qinghuai. So she shook her head and patted her chest to indicate that she was fine.
Although Zhao Qinghuai knew that Lin Ying was incredibly strong, he was still worried that using too much strength would have a negative impact on her. Lin Ying noticed his concern but was still very happy.
But she didn't plan to mention the matter of the youngest child to anyone. She could only write on a piece of paper: 'I woke up to find myself stronger. It's been so long, and apart from eating a bit too much, everything else is fine. Don't worry.'
Zhao Qinghuai was no longer worried when he heard that Lin Ying ate a lot. He had a comrade-in-arms who was also incredibly strong and ate a lot. In his words, his strength came entirely from eating a lot.
Zhao Qinghuai thought that Lin Ying must be in the same situation now; her strength was being consumed by food, not by her own body.
Nevertheless, Zhao Qinghuai didn't let Lin Ying carry the basket; instead, he carried it himself: "Is there anything else?"
Seeing Lin Ying shake her head, Zhao Qinghuai said, "Then let's go home."
