"Yes, she has a lot of ideas and is very capable."
Wu Chen nodded, agreeing with Master Huang's statement.
"Look at you, you're not bad either. You survived the battlefield, so you can't be an ordinary person."
Master Huang saw that Wu Chen was not a coward, and he admired these people who protected the safety of the people from the bottom of his heart.
"Master Huang, you flatter me. The battlefield is indeed very dangerous. I was just lucky. Look, my leg injury is still not healed."
Wu Chen looked at his leg, wishing it wasn't injured so he could go home sooner and protect Wei Yuyan and his younger siblings.
"There's not much work to do in winter anyway, so I should rest and recover my leg."
Master Huang patted Wu Chen on the shoulder.
"Yeah, brother, your house is great, it passed the test. Yuyan will come over this afternoon to settle the rest of the wages with you."
Wu Chen had finished looking around and, since there was nothing else to do, prepared to go back.
"Okay, thank you, thank you for your trust."
Master Huang escorted Wu Chen to the main gate.
Wu Chen happened to be visiting Li Fu's house.
"Brother Fu, don't you need to sell steamed buns today?"
Wu Chen saw Zhang Lifu at home.
"Yes, my older brother and I take turns every two weeks. If we don't go to the market for two weeks, he'll be the one to do the work."
At this moment, Zhang Lifu is carving a comb with a carving knife.
"Oh, are you making a comb for Sister-in-law Xiuhua?"
Wu Chen asked curiously.
"Yes, your sister-in-law Xiuhua sometimes has trouble sleeping. She combs her hair with this thick comb and sleeps better."
Zhang Lifu carved it carefully, like a precious treasure.
"How about I carve one for Yuyan too?"
Wu Chen also wanted to do something for Wei Yuyan.
"You little rascal, you're just copying what I do. You should also consider what your partner needs."
If someone sleeps well and doesn't need a comb, then there's no point in you making one.
"Oh, right, you're right, I'll think about it some more."
Wu Chen felt that something made by hand was like a token of love, and it was very meaningful.
It must be an item that Wei Yuyan uses frequently.
With these thoughts in mind, Wu Chen walked home.
"You're back. How was it? Is it really finished?"
When Wei Yuyan saw Wu Chen return, she casually asked him a question.
"Yes, they're doing the finishing touches now. I've seen it; the house's structure is excellent. Your design is truly superb."
Wu Chen praised earnestly.
"It was just a random design."
Wei Yuyan was a little embarrassed because she didn't expect Wu Chen to be so serious when praising someone.
"This is it~".
"Wu Chen's wife~".
Wei Yuyan heard someone calling her from outside; it sounded a bit like the village chief's wife's voice.
"Hey~".
Wei Yuyan opened the door and saw several people standing there.
"Sister, brother-in-law, Yueyue, you're here."
Wei Yuyan was pleasantly surprised to find that her sister's family had arrived, and happily put her arm around her sister Wei Yuhan's shoulder.
"Yes, Yuyan, we were so happy to receive your letter saying that you built a new house. It's not too late for us to come today, is it?"
Wei Yuhan smiled gently, which made Wei Yuyan feel better.
"It's perfect that you came today, Auntie. Thank you so much for bringing my sister over. Come in and have a cup of tea."
When Wei Yuyan saw the village chief's wife standing to the side, she took the initiative to greet her.
"No, I have to cook dinner at home. Maybe next time."
The village chief's wife waved and went home.
"Girl, I didn't bring anything fancy this time. Two chickens, some meat, and dried fish. These dried fish, about the size of a little finger, are also delicious when stir-fried."
Brother-in-law Chen Yu was carrying a basket and a bamboo basket. The basket contained two chickens, and the bamboo basket was filled with all sorts of things, including meat, dried fish, pastries, and candy.
"Oh dear, brother-in-law, there's no need to spend so much. You really don't earn money easily. Please don't do this again next time."
Wei Yuyan looked at her sister and brother-in-law with heartache; they must be reluctant to eat or wear anything nice.
"Yu Yan, who's here?"
Wu Chen had just gone to the outhouse, and when he came out, he heard them chattering away at the door.
"My sister and brother-in-law came, along with my niece Yueyue."
Wei Yuyan led her sister and brother-in-law through the gate.
"This is ~".
The older sister and brother-in-law were confused. Hadn't they said Wu Chen was missing? Why was he back?
Before Wei Yuyan got married, Wu Chen visited her home once, and her sister had met Wu Chen before.
However, after two years, my sister couldn't quite remember.
"Sister, brother-in-law, I'm Wu Chen. I've only been back for a few days. Welcome to visit me."
Wu Chen quickly introduced himself, explaining that these were Wei Yuyan's most cherished family members, and he had to extend that love to them as well.
"You've only been back for a few days? It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back, as long as you're safe and sound."
The older sister, Wei Yuhan, looked at Wu Chen's crutches and wondered if he had become a cripple.
"Brother-in-law, why did you bring so many things? You're too kind."
Wu Chen helped take his brother-in-law's basket down.
"No, just some household items, including cured pork, cured duck, pork, and dried small fish."
My brother-in-law put down the basket and took out the contents one by one.
"Oh, there's also preserved duck. Doesn't your family raise ducks?"
Wei Yuyan really likes to eat preserved duck, and she was even thinking of raising some ducks next year.
“These are wild ducks. Your brother-in-law went up the mountain to dig for medicinal herbs, and he was lucky enough to catch two wild ducks and brought them all to you.”
Wei Yuhan sat down with Yueyue in her arms and explained.
"I'll go make some tea; you must be thirsty."
Wu Chen quickly went to boil water and make tea.
“I’ll go cook. Sister, brother-in-law, you’re bringing Yueyue here for Chinese New Year this year.”
Wei Yuyan also remembered that she should cook a meal, and she should make a more substantial lunch today.
“Sister, that won’t do. We just came to visit you. Staying for a day or two is fine, but we can’t stay until the New Year.”
The older sister, Wei Yuhan, quickly refused, saying, "If the three of us stayed here for a month, how much food would we have to eat?"
"You can't stay for just one or two days, sister and brother-in-law. We'll take you to see the new house this afternoon. The rooms are all ready for you."
Wu Chen, holding a plate of pastries, said that he understood that Yu Yan's family was also considering his feelings and did not want to cause trouble for Wei Yu Yan.
Therefore, he had to ask them to stay longer.
"Yes, sister and brother-in-law, now you've heard that, right? Just settle in and relax."
Besides, brother-in-law, I really need your help right now. I'll tell you after we finish eating.
Wei Yuyan planned to tell her brother-in-law after dinner that he should go help out at the steamed bun shop.
"Okay, I'll help you with anything you need."
Brother-in-law Chen Yu didn't even know how he could help, but he agreed anyway.
"Have some tea, sister, brother-in-law, can Yueyue eat this pastry?"
