The group burst into laughter, making Lin Han feel a little embarrassed.
Huo Qizheng walked to Lin Han's side, reached out his large hand and held her hand, giving her a sense of security.
"Don't bother with all this work. Sit on the sofa and rest for a while. Don't tire yourself out."
Lin Han hasn't even touched a needle since she came back; she's only been talking. How could she be tired? Isn't Huo Qizheng exaggerating a bit?
“I have two older sisters helping to till the soil in the yard, and I bring them water.”
Huo Qizheng had read in Liu Jiang's diary that Lin Han was bullied by He Jingjing when she stayed at the guesthouse, and that her two close female friends took good care of her.
His young wife came all the way from Shanghai to join him in the army. In the compound, she had a few familiar people to take care of her, so she wasn't too bored.
"I'll go out with you."
Sister Wang and Sister Zhang were used to farm work, and they dug a hole for planting a tree in no time.
"Sister Wang, Sister Zhang, come and have some water and rest."
The two looked over at the sound and saw a tall, young man following behind Lin Han.
"Lin, is this your man?"
Lin Han pulled Huo Qizheng over and introduced him, "This is my... man, Huo Qizheng."
She originally wanted to say "husband," but Sister Wang and Sister Zhang always referred to their husbands as "my man," so to avoid being treated differently, she simply followed suit and called them "my man."
Huo Qizheng was usually stern and rarely smiled, but he was very polite to Sister Wang and Sister Zhang.
"I heard from Xiaohan that she was very grateful for the care she received from her two sisters-in-law when she stayed at the guesthouse. Once the house is all sorted out, Xiaohan and I will be hosting a banquet, and your two sisters-in-law must come!"
Sister Wang and Sister Zhang looked at Huo Qizheng and thought Lin Han was lucky. They were married women who had children, and they could tell at a glance whether a man was good or not.
The man in Lin's family is simply amazing. A woman's married life, besides the daily necessities, also requires a man to nourish her, otherwise, life will become more and more boring over time.
In their view, Lin Meizi's married life should not be boring at all; it will only get better and better.
“Okay, let us know in advance if you need to set up the table, and your Sister Zhang and I will come over to help.”
Lin Meizi can't cook, so she can't just bring the food from the cafeteria to the table when she's hosting guests, can she?
Sister Wang and Sister Zhang took on the task themselves, preparing to arrive early to help Lin Han prepare the feast.
It wouldn't be good to leave her alone to worry about a whole table of food.
After the furniture in the house was put away, the soldiers that Huo Qizheng had summoned went back.
Only Sister Wang and Sister Zhang were left to help turn over the soil in the garden.
Lin Han asked Huo Qizheng to get some stone slabs to pave the road, and then sent him away.
She took out the pomegranate saplings and cherry trees that she had bought in Shanghai.
The strawberry seedlings, blueberry seedlings, and grass seeds were sent to her by Fangfang from the 21st century last night.
"Sister Wang, this is a cherry tree, planted by the window. This is a pomegranate tree, planted by the wall. In a little while, Huo Qizheng will bring back the stone slabs to lay them down, and then plant grass seeds and fruit seedlings on both sides."
"Come and rest when you're done. I bought a watermelon; I'll go to the kitchen, cut it up, and bring it out."
Sister Wang and Sister Zhang each planted a tree, and it only took them a few minutes.
They put down their tools and washed their hands at the sink.
"Miss Lin, you're just leaving this nice soap here to wash your hands?"
They usually use the soap they buy at the service station to wash their face and hair. If their hands aren't dirty, they wash them with water; if they are, they use soap or laundry detergent. They would definitely not be willing to use such a nice soap like Lin Han does, leaving it on the sink to wash their hands.
