Chapter 20 Homestead



Han Zhenyu thought about it and first ruled out the residential land in the village.

Su Xieqiu said that she liked quietness. The village was crowded and gossipy, and it was close to the Han family, which obviously did not meet her requirements.

The land next to the Youth League Home is very fertile. It is a good place to build a house in the front and have private land in the back. Otherwise, the shrewd Blind Han would not have taken a fancy to it.

Han Zhenyu knew that the captain was sincerely doing this for his own good, but he was not prepared to choose that option.

There are only a few people in the Youth Corps Home, but it is already so complicated. If there are more Youth Corps Homes, it will only get more chaotic. Even if they don't get involved, it will definitely not be peaceful if they are so close.

So there is only one place left, which is the one to the north of Sun Dahan, and this is also the place he considered last night.

Although it is close to the mountains, it is far from the village and quiet. Su Xieqiu must like it too.

Sun Dahan is a good person, and his wife is not a nosy person.

In the future, when he travels far away, he can ask Sun Dahan’s wife to take care of him.

He said to Han Hongbing: "Captain, since Blind Han has set his eyes on the homestead of the Youth Farm, I will not compete with him, and it will save you from trouble.

I'll choose the area to the north of Sun Dahan. My wife likes quietness, and I think that place is also good."

Han Hongbing frowned. "Think it over carefully. That piece of land is really remote and close to the mountains. It's still 20 to 30 meters away from Sun Dahan's house. It's quiet, but if something happens, I'm afraid the villagers won't be able to hear it."

Han Zhenyu said with certainty: "I've thought it over carefully, Captain, I want that piece."

"Okay, I'll have someone measure it for you this afternoon. When are you going to build it?"

Han Zhengyu was just about to talk to him about getting a letter of introduction, but when he heard him ask about it, he brought up the matter as well.

"Captain, I have to go out in two days, and my wife doesn't understand these things. I will build the house when I come back."

Han Hongbing glanced at him and asked, "How many days will you be away?"

"It will take a long time this time. I'm afraid it will take 10 to 20 days."

Chen Hongbing didn't ask any more questions. He went to the inner room, got the stamped letter paper and a pen, and started writing.

These stamped letters were specially prepared for Han Zhenyu. This kid went out every few days, and it was inconvenient for him to go to the brigade headquarters frequently, so he took a few and kept them at home.

Han Zhenyu received the letter of introduction and stood up to thank him.

When he left, he said to Chen Hongbing, "I haven't discussed the division of the family with my family yet. I hope the captain can keep it a secret for me first, so that they won't find trouble with my wife when they see that I'm not at home."

Han Hongbing responded readily, "Okay, I understand. I'll measure the homestead when you come back."

"Thank you, Captain. I'll go back now."

Han Hongbing sent him to the door and turned to go to the kitchen.

His wife Liu Guilan was cooking. When she saw him come in, she happily pointed to the basket beside her and said, "The pork elbow that Zhenyu brought today is really fat. It must be two or three pounds. And the two canned meats are all rare good things."

Han Hongbing took a look and smiled, and then he told his wife, "Marinate the elbow with salt first, and eat it in a few days. Take some time to go to the city in the next two days."

Someone must have seen Han Zhenyu when he came just now. If he cooks meat today, the neighbors will smell the smell and spread gossip.

Liu Guilan knew what the man meant and nodded with a smile.

Her man finally became the captain, and she would not let anyone find any evidence against her.

"His father, I think Zhenyu is quite capable. The things he got are all rare. Do you know what he does outside? Is he working in the black market?"

Liu Guilan was a little worried. She was afraid that if Han Zhenyu was caught doing something bad, it would definitely implicate her man.

Because he was the one who helped Han Zhenyu to write the letters of introduction when he went out.

Han Hongbing thought for a moment and said, "He probably isn't on the black market. I asked him before, and he said he was learning to drive from someone."

What Han Hongbing didn't say is, which driver doesn't do some private work? Doesn't he bring some stuff back and forth to resell?

If it weren't for the fact that Han Zhenyu was steady and sensible, he would never have given him a letter of introduction just for a small thing.

But he didn't tell his wife about this, so as to avoid raising a alarm.

"Oh, driving is a really good job. If you learn it, you'll have a chance to get a stable job in the future."

Liu Guilan was very envious after hearing this. Drivers are very popular nowadays, and if you don’t have a very good relationship with them, they won’t teach you.

She asked Han Hongbing, "His father, who helped Zhenyu find such a good job?"

"I don't know. I didn't ask." Han Hongbing saw that she wanted to find out more, so he glared at her and said, "Why are you asking these questions? What does it have to do with us? Hurry up and cook. We have a lot of things to do today." After that, he went out with his hands behind his back.

Liu Guilan laughed and scolded, "You bastard, let's see what you can do. If you have the guts, don't eat the food I cook."

It was almost dawn when Han Zhenyu came out of the captain's house.

He didn't go home, but went directly to the homestead to find Sun Dahan to see if he had time to help make some bricks.

He will leave early the day after tomorrow, so we have to arrange the building of the house in the next two days and start construction as soon as he comes back.

It took Han Zhenyu about seven or eight minutes to reach the homestead.

In the past, this was a large pear orchard, which belonged to the village landlord Feng. During the reform a few years ago, it was confiscated and became the property of the village.

Now the place is overgrown with weeds and there are a few crooked pear and jujube trees.

Every year when the fruits are ripe, the children in the village come here to pick them.

The gate of Sun Dahan's house not far away was closed, and smoke was coming out of the kitchen chimney.

On the east side there is an earthen house with only half of the roof left. It was where the servants of landlord Feng who looked after the orchard lived in the past. Now it is in a dilapidated state.

Han Zhenyu walked around for a while, and thought that Sun Dahan should have finished his meal, so he walked over and knocked on the door.

Sun Dahan's eldest son Tiezhu came to open the door. When he saw him, he immediately greeted him warmly, "Uncle Zhenyu? Why are you here? Come in quickly."

Han Zhenyu asked with a smile: "Tiezhu, is your father home?"

"Here, here." Tiezhu shouted to the courtyard, "Dad, Uncle Zhenyu is here."

When Sun Dahan heard his son's cry, he immediately came out of the house.

When he saw Han Zhenyu, he smiled and joked, "Wow, what a rare visitor. How come you, a busy man like you, have time to come here?"

Han Zhenyu followed Tiezhu into the yard and laughed heartily, "Brother Sun, you really know how to make fun of people. Everyone in our village knows that I am a second-rate person who does not work properly. But when I came to you, I became a busy man. Are you making fun of me?"

Sun Dahan said disdainfully: "Why do you care about those people with long hair and short knowledge? They have nothing to do all day long except gossiping."

Han Zhenyu smiled and didn't continue the topic.

He said, "Brother Sun, I came here today to trouble you with something."

Sun Dahan said straightforwardly: "You say, as long as it can be done, no questions asked."
