On the morning of July 18th, Zuo An had breakfast and went up Bald Mountain to work on cement. Hua Qingcheng also returned to the space, harvested the ripe rice, and planted a new batch.
After Huang Feifeng and others had plowed the 50 acres of newly purchased land, Mulanjin had already asked the villagers to plant 10 acres of sweet potatoes and 10 acres of potatoes, and the remaining 30 acres were planted with rice.
“Qingqing!”
Hua Qingcheng locked herself in the room after breakfast and didn't come out for an hour. Mu Lige came over and knocked on the door worriedly.
“Here I come!”
As soon as she came out of the space, she heard Mu Lige's voice and Hua Qingcheng hurriedly opened the door.
"What are you busy with?"
Seeing that there was nothing wrong with his young wife, Mu Lige felt relieved.
"I'll complete the construction plan for the new house."
Hua Qingcheng smiled at Mu Lige, pulled him over and made him sit at the table.
"Brother Li, look, I plan to renovate the front yard. I'll leave the middle of the yard open, with the cowshed and horse shed on the left, and the sheepfold and chicken coop on the right. I'll install a swing under the big tree in front of the well, and add a stone table and chairs under the tree.
The front yard followed the existing layout, with the largest room in the middle still serving as the main hall. However, dining there would no longer be needed; it would only be used for entertaining guests. To the left were the kitchen and dining room, connected by a door. To the right of the main hall were two utility rooms.
I plan to build a suite in the backyard, with a flower hall in the center and bedrooms connected to it: a master bedroom, five side bedrooms, and two guest rooms. And here's the bathroom and toilet..."
Looking at Hua Qingcheng who was talking freely in front of him, Mu Lige smiled dotingly. Although he had never heard of some of the words she said, he roughly understood what she meant by looking at the drawings.
Perhaps, this is what her former living place looked like! Thinking of this, Mu Lige was quite looking forward to seeing the house that Hua Qingcheng had renovated and rebuilt.
"That's fine, Qingqing. But... building a toilet inside the house... isn't that... a little inappropriate..."
Mu Lige thought everything else was pretty good, except for this one point which he didn't understand.
"No, Brother Li. We'll need to dig a septic tank in the backyard and connect the toilet to it with a pipe. After using the toilet... after using the toilet, you can just flush it clean with water."
Looking at Mu Lige's puzzled expression, Hua Qingcheng curled the corners of her lips slightly. She, as a doctor, was sometimes really... a little cute.
“It seems feasible.”
"It's definitely feasible, Brother Li. Furthermore, septic tanks can be converted into biogas tanks, which can be used as fuel for cooking. If there are enough materials to make energy-saving lamps, the biogas can also be used as energy for lighting."
Hua Qingcheng knew that no matter how shocking what she said was, Mu Lige would never ask her why she knew these things, but would support her ideas and practices to the greatest extent.
Perhaps this doctor had long sensed the difference between him and the original owner, but he never dared to break the silence. This was perhaps why Hua Qingcheng could always show her true self in front of Mu Lige without any psychological burden.
"Wife, big brother, Dad is here!"
The two people who were chatting in the room suddenly heard Yu Xiaotian's voice.
"Coming right up."
Hua Qingcheng then took Mu Lige's hand. When they arrived at the front yard, they saw Hua's father Ye Maochun with several bundles hanging on his neck, shoulders, and arms, and he was walking into the main room with two sacks in his hands.
"Dad, you are...you are not running away from home?"
Hua Qingcheng looked at Ye Maochun in confusion. He looked like he was fleeing. Could it be that her father...had he had a fight with her mother?
"Qingqing, stop talking nonsense!"
Mu Lige held Hua Qingcheng's hand in his own palm with his backhand, tightened it, let her go after a moment, and then quickened his pace into the main room.
"Dad, why did you bring so many things?"
Mu Lige entered the main room and hurried forward to help Hua's father take off his things.
"Let me do it!"
Hua Qingcheng pulled Mu Lige aside and took off the bags from Hua's father one by one.
"Dad, what are all these big and small bags?"
"Of course it's for Li Ge and the baby in his belly."
Ye Maochun patted Hua Qingcheng's forehead and scolded her, "How can you be someone else's wife? Li Ge is already two months pregnant, so of course we have to prepare everything before her belly shows!"
"Dad~"
She had never been pregnant or had a child before, so how could she know what to prepare? However, her father did remind her that she should find time to learn from him so that she would not be so flustered in the future.
"Come, Li Ge, this bag is for you."
Hua's father opened one of the bundles, took out a light blue robe, compared it in front of Mu Lige, and nodded with satisfaction.
"In another month, your belly will start to show, and your clothes will become tighter and tighter, especially after five or six months, when your belly will grow bigger day by day. These clothes are for you."
"Thank you, Dad!"
Mu Lige's eyes reddened as she watched Hua's father fold the clothes and put them back into the bag. There were also robes in navy blue, gray, and lotus root colors.
"This bag contains shoes for you, Li Ge. When you are pregnant, your legs and feet may become swollen, and ordinary shoes may not be suitable. Daddy will prepare a few pairs of shoes specially for pregnant women."
"Thank you, Dad!"
