On this day, the sun shone on the winding mountain road. Lin Yuexi, as usual, walked briskly and firmly through the mountains and forests.
It has to be said that the weather this year was really good, with very little rain, which made it very convenient for her to go into the mountains. She carefully searched for various Chinese herbal medicines, and finally found a large area of wild Gastrodia elata. She dug carefully, and after digging, she carefully put it into the backpack.
After the backpack was filled with about ten kilograms, he put the rest into the space and quickly went down the mountain. He took out another 20 kilograms from the space, put 15 kilograms on each of the two backpacks hung on the bicycle, and then rode the bicycle towards the county town.
When I arrived at the county, I found "Bencao Yiyuntang" as usual, walked into the backyard familiarly, and saw Master Bai who was busy at work.
Master Bai is a kind person and has great knowledge in medicinal materials. Lin Yuexi has developed a special friendship with him.
During this period, Lin Yuexi knew very well that ginseng was precious and rare. In order to avoid arousing suspicion, she was extremely cautious and only took out a ginseng to sell every two days. This way she could save money much faster.
This time, Lin Yuexi didn't take any of them, but the amount of Gastrodia elata increased to 100 kilograms.
Seeing her working so hard, Master Bai couldn't help but feel a little curious and concerned, and couldn't help asking, "Little comrade, you work so hard every day to make money, is there something going on at home that needs money?"
"Master Bai, to be honest, I have no other choice. My man has been in the army for five years and there is no news from him. I still have two children to raise at home. Besides, I don't want to stay in the village forever. I will have to leave sooner or later.
It is better to make more money now while it is easy to make money, and then bring the two kids to the city to go to school." Lin Yuexi replied.
"Young comrade, you are very ambitious! You want to settle down in the city, but now you are not allowed to buy houses, you can only rent them..."
"Mr. Bai, renting is fine! Just write a longer lease term. When you are allowed to buy a house, it won't be too late to transfer the ownership..."
"Hey, you have a good idea, girl. How about this! I'm moving back to Beijing before the end of the year. I have a two-story quadrangle house not far from here that I want to leave empty. If you want it, I'll rent it to you for a long time, and then transfer the ownership when the house can be sold. How about that?"
"Master Bai, are you serious? That's great..." Lin Yuexi said in surprise.
This is really the case of "after searching everywhere for something, it is easy to find it!"
"Really? I'm not lying to you! Wait a minute, I'll take you to have a look and see if you like it. I can't take the furniture with me, so I'll leave it all to you..."
"Okay, I'll wait here for a while..." Lin Yuexi was very happy!
Mr. Bai is a trustworthy person, and his yard must be nice.
Sure enough, not long after, after Master Bai finished his work, he took Lin Yuexi out of Bencao Yiyun Hall and walked through several quiet alleys.
Soon, an elegant two-story courtyard house appeared in front of Lin Yuexi.
The blue-gray brick walls reveal the charm of time, the vermilion gate is solemn and majestic, and the door knocker is shiny.
As you enter the yard, the first thing that catches your eye is the spacious front yard, the ground of which is paved with square bricks, neat and clean.
The main house and wing rooms are well laid out, and the carvings under the eaves are exquisite and delicate, as if telling stories from the past.
There are also several towering trees in the yard, which will definitely provide a cool environment in the summer.
Master Bai took Lin Yuexi to check each room one by one. Although the furniture in the house was not new, they were all made of solid good wood and exuded a faint wood fragrance.
The tables, chairs and benches are neatly arranged, and the beds and wardrobes are all available. Some of the items are also decorated with antique ornaments, adding a bit of elegance.
Lin Yuexi was filled with joy. She seemed to have seen herself, Ziyan and Xiyun living here.
The children are laughing and playing in the yard while I am doing housework in the house. In my free time, I can read and rest in this quiet environment.
"Master Bai, I like this yard so much. I want to rent it instead of buying it. What do you think?" Lin Yuexi asked.
Master Bai waved his hand and said, "Of course you can. I think you are a sincere girl, and I admire your ambition. You also have a connection with this courtyard.
How about a 50-year lease for 3,000 yuan? What do you think? This price is much cheaper than outside.”
Lin Yuexi nodded quickly, "Master Bai, this price is too fair, you really helped me a lot."
Afterwards, the two discussed some details of renting instead of buying, such as the start time of the lease, the responsibility for house repairs, etc., and drafted a simple contract.
Lin Yuexi took out part of her savings and paid the 3,000 yuan rent.
Old Bai was also very happy when he saw it. "My yard is quite old, and I really don't want to give it to others. You are a girl with great taste and ambition, so I will go no wrong with giving it to you..."
"Thank you, Mr. Bai, for your trust..." Lin Yuexi said happily.
From now on, I am a family man. No matter whether Mr. Lu gets divorced or not, I can live alone with the child.
By the way, I will take the college entrance examination in three years. After that, I will have a city hukou, and I can bring my two children to the city to study.
After coming out of the courtyard, Lin Yuexi walked briskly. She felt that she was one step closer to her dream life.
In the following days, she continued her medicinal materials business while preparing to move to the county town.
She planned to clean and decorate the yard first, and then select some suitable daily necessities and school supplies for the children.
As for Lu Cheng, she just hoped that he would come back soon and divorce her.
…
At this moment, Lu Cheng, who was far away in the southern army, sneezed several times inadvertently.
Xiao Yichen, a subordinate next to him, joked, "Brother Cheng, you haven't been home for five years, and your sister-in-law is still thinking about you? She really loves you..."
"What sister-in-law? She has no feelings for me at all. I think I have to give her freedom when I go home this year..."
"Brother Cheng, you are such a joke. You've been gone for five years and you want to divorce your sister-in-law when you come back. Aren't you harming her?"
"Yi Chen, you don't understand. She doesn't like me at all. Maybe in the five years I was away, she has left my house with the person she loves. Even if she hasn't left, the 30 yuan allowance I send her every month is considered compensation for her." Lu Cheng sighed.
"Brother Cheng, let me tell you that you are just being stubborn! You obviously like my sister-in-law, but you don't go back to give them a chance..."
After hearing what Xiao Yichen said, Lu Cheng fell into deep thought.
He thought of Lin Yuexi's cold eyes on the day of their wedding, and his heart felt like it was blocked by a stone.
He also remembered the light in Lin Yuexi's eyes when she saw Xu Mingyuan.
In these five years, he had actually fantasized countless times about going home and living a good life with her, but he was afraid to face her indifference.
