Han Lei thought for a moment and said, "Brother Zhenyu should be at home today. I'll go over and explain it to him."
Since his father had already said it, there was no way to take it back, so he could only say hello to Brother Zhenyu in advance.
If Brother Zhenyu doesn't want the two educated youth to live there, then they should go and talk to the team leader first.
After all, we are from the same village, and the captain will never side with outsiders.
Han Youlai nodded quickly, "Okay, okay, then go quickly and ask your elder brother to ask for leave for you."
He meant well but ended up doing something bad. I wouldn't have said a word to him earlier.
When Han Lei arrived at the foot of the mountain, Han Zhenyu and Su Xieqiu were looking for mushrooms in the woods.
Chenchen, Xiaogoudan and a few other kids were swinging on the swings in the yard.
"Brother Zhenyu, sister-in-law, are you busy?"
Han Zhenyu asked: "Leizi, why are you here? Is there something wrong?"
Su Xieqiu also greeted him with a smile.
Han Lei walked up to the two of them and said embarrassedly: "Brother Zhenyu, sister-in-law, I'm here to apologize to you."
"What's the matter? Do we two brothers need to talk like this?" Han Zhenyu asked with a smile.
Han Lei sighed helplessly and told the two what his father had just done.
"My father didn't think too much about it at the time. He just thought this place was too remote and it would be safer if more people moved here. He regrets it now and asked me to come over and tell you."
After hearing this, Han Zhenyu was silent for a moment and looked at the adobe house not far away.
It is about thirty or forty meters away from their yard, neither far nor near.
If you are an easy-going person, then having more neighbors doesn't matter.
He is just afraid of encountering unreasonable people. Han Zhenyu is not afraid of trouble, he just thinks it is troublesome.
"What are the characters of those two young men you mentioned? Are they troublesome?"
Han Lei said quickly: "I have worked with them for a few days. They are not the kind of people who like to do a lot of work. No matter what dirty or tiring work the captain assigns them, I have never heard them complain. They also speak and act in a measured way."
Han Zhenyu nodded. "That's fine. This house is public property. As long as the captain agrees, it'll be fine."
He smiled and patted Han Lei's shoulder again, "Go back and tell Uncle Han, I know he is doing this for my own good, I won't think too much about it."
Han Lei breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his brother was not angry.
It was indeed his father who did not think the matter through, and fortunately his brother was magnanimous. If it were someone else, they would definitely feel uncomfortable.
He smiled and said, "Brother Zhenyu, sister-in-law, I'm really sorry this time, I hope you don't take it to heart."
Han Zhenyu glared at him and said, "Alright, hurry back to work. This is just a small matter, how can it be worth your trip? This round trip will earn you one less work point."
"It's okay, I just want to be lazy."
Han Lei smiled and said, "Brother Zhenyu, sister-in-law, I'm going to work first."
"Go ahead." Han Zhenyu smiled and waved at him, "Go back and tell your sister-in-law and Daqing that Goudan and the other two won't be going home for lunch, so they can eat here. Tell their families not to come pick them up, I'll take them home in the evening."
"Got it, bro."
After Han Lei left, Han Zhenyu said to Su Xieqiu, "I should have known not to clean up this house. Not only will it benefit others, but now there is another family here. I'm afraid it won't be so quiet in the future."
Su Xieqiu smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. This adobe house is so far away from our home. Even if someone moves in, it won't bother us."
"Besides, I also know the two educated youths Han Lei mentioned. They seem to be nice people and don't like to meddle in other people's business. They can live their own lives in the future and won't affect us."
"That's good. If people behave themselves, it would be good for a few more people to live here. If there are more people, the wild beasts won't dare to come down in winter." Han Zhenyu said.
Su Xieqiu listened to the bell-like laughter of several children coming from the yard. She smiled and picked up the basket, "Let's go home. Don't you have to go to the factory for a meeting this afternoon? Let's eat early, don't be late."
Han Zhenyu smiled and nodded, took the basket from her, and then put his hand on her shoulder.
Su Xieqiu glanced at him and saw that he looked as if nothing had happened.
She rolled her eyes and quietly scratched his waist.
Han Zhenyu twisted quickly and was about to grab her rebellious hand.
Su Xieqiu dodged and ran home laughing.
She discovered yesterday that this person was very ticklish, especially around his waist, and was afraid of being touched.
Han Zhenyu looked at her helplessly, his eyes full of doting.
Chenchen saw her coming back and ran over to hug her legs, "Auntie Su, do you want to play on the swing for a while?"
"You guys play, I'll go cook." Su Xieqiu smiled and touched his head.
When Xiao Gou Dan and the others heard that people were preparing to cook, they immediately got off the swing and asked, "Auntie, are you cooking so early?"
"Yes, your Uncle Han has to go to the factory for a meeting this afternoon, so eat early."
Su Xieqiu was just about to ask them to stay for dinner when Xiao Gou Dan said, "Auntie, Chenchen, let's go. Can we come back to your house to play on the swings in the afternoon?"
Although living conditions are poor nowadays, children are quite sensible. Generally, when they hear that someone is going to cook, they will leave tactfully. Few people will stay in someone else's house.
Su Xieqiu quickly smiled and pulled them back, "Don't go back at noon, just eat here."
"Ah, eating at your house?" Xiao Gou Dan quickly shook his head, "No, no, I'll get beaten when I get home."
When they went out in the morning, their families reminded them to be more considerate and go home quickly when they saw others preparing food.
Su Xieqiu smiled and said to them, "It's okay. Your uncle Han has already told your family that you can play here in the afternoon and I will take you back in the evening."
Xiao Gou Dan touched his butt and confirmed again, "Aunt, does my father agree?"
Su Xieqiu couldn't help laughing when he saw his little action.
It looks like this kid got beaten up a lot.
"Don't worry, your father agreed." Han Zhenyu walked in with a smile and patted Xiao Gou Dan on the butt. "Go and play. I'll make you some cabbage vermicelli stew for lunch."
The three children said happily: "Thank you uncle, thank you aunt."
Su Xieqiu smiled and went to the kitchen.
Han Zhenyu poured the mushrooms into the backyard to dry, and then went to the cellar to get some cabbages.
Seeing Su Xieqiu adding water to the pot, he said, "Take a rest, I'll do it."
"fine."
Han Zhenyu glanced at her, went to the main room and made her a bowl of brown sugar water, "Then you light the fire, I'll do the rest, don't touch cold water today."
Su Xieqiu held the bowl of brown sugar water and felt extremely warm in his heart.
She sat in front of the stove, sipping brown sugar water, and asked him, "What are you eating for lunch?"
"Stew cabbage with vermicelli, add some bacon, and some corn cakes." Then he smiled and said to her, "I'll stew you a bowl of egg custard."
Su Xieqiu understood what he meant. He didn't want others to know that their family ate so well, so as to avoid arousing jealousy.
In fact, pork and cabbage stewed with vermicelli and corn cakes are already very good meals in rural areas.
"Steam more egg custard and share some with the kids later."
"Okay." Han Zhenyu nodded with a smile and started washing the cabbage.
