When Han Zhenyu heard the rooster crowing in Sun Dahan's house, he sat up from the bed.
Seeing that Su Xieqiu was sleeping soundly, he quietly opened the door and went to the new house.
They built their house at the foot of a mountain, surrounded by rough, wasteland with no crops grown.
Han Zhenyu greeted the team leader and handed over a few dollars to the team headquarters.
The team leader discussed it with several team leaders and decided to enclose one acre of land for him, which included the yard and private plot.
In fact, in the Northeast, such a yard is not considered big. If there are many people in the family, the yard alone may be more than one acre in size.
They built a total of four tiled houses. The one on the east side was the master bedroom, and there was also a small storage room inside.
The second room on the east is the main room, the next room is also a large bedroom, and the one on the west is the kitchen.
The toilet and bathroom are built at the back, sharing a fire wall with the main room, so it is not so cold to go to the toilet in winter.
Just like Grandpa Du said, this house is good in every way except that it uses waste firewood in winter.
Han Zhenyu went to the vegetable garden in the backyard again, which occupied six mu of land.
A long thatched shed was built against the west wall to store firewood, and a vegetable cellar was dug next to the shed.
There was a well in the southeast corner. At that time, Grandpa Du and my uncle thought it would cost dozens of dollars to dig a well, so they disagreed.
Han Zhenyu still insisted on digging. There was no well near them, and the nearest well was five or six minutes' walk from their home.
He often went on business trips and had no way to take care of his family. He was worried that Su Xieqiu would have trouble using water, so after much consideration, he decided to make one at home.
He thought, it's just a few dozen dollars, I can just bring more goods when I come back.
We are not so poor that we can't even afford to eat, so why let your wife run so far to fetch water?
It’s okay in the summer, but it’s too painful in the winter, he can’t bear it.
Han Zhenyu walked a few steps further inside and cleaned up the vegetable patch next to him.
Yesterday Su Xieqiu told him that his uncle brought some vegetable seeds from home and sowed them.
It was too late to plant other vegetables, and they could only plant one crop of green vegetables before the snow came.
Looking at the tidy house, thinking about the woman in the house.
Han Zhenyu looked up at the starry sky and couldn't help but smile. He felt that life was becoming more and more hopeful.
When Su Xieqiu woke up, it was just dawn and the person in the bed next to him was gone.
She stretched and opened the door refreshed.
Seeing that the door of the new house was open, he walked over quickly.
There were two carts parked in the yard, and Han Zhenyu and Han Shengwen were carrying a large wardrobe into the house.
The voices of two men talking came from the main room. They should be Carpenter Han and his youngest son.
Han Zhenyu saw her coming and said with a smile: "Get up, come and see where this big wardrobe can be placed?"
"Put it against the inner wall." Su Xieqiu had already thought of these things and hurried over to give instructions.
She custom-made two large wardrobes and two kang cabinets, one in each of her and Han Zhenyu's bedrooms.
There are also several cabinets for storing things in the main room and kitchen.
Together with the table, benches and cabinet that Han Zhenyu bought from Carpenter Han last time, the furniture was basically complete.
Carpenter Han and his two sons put the furniture away, looked at the neat courtyard, and praised: "Zhenyu, you built a really nice house."
Han Zhenyu sighed and said helplessly: "Uncle, my grandfather was so angry when he saw that I was kicked out that he said he would build me a few tiled houses even if he had to borrow money to save face.
My younger uncle and my eldest uncle borrowed money from everywhere, and I also took a year's salary advance from the factory to build this house. It looks good now, but after so many famines, we will have to tighten our belts in the future."
This was what the couple said to the outside world, and they were also afraid that someone would suspect where their money came from.
Carpenter Han heard about their family's affairs, but he was not a talkative man. He sighed, comforted Han Zhenyu a few words, and then went back with his two sons.
Su Xieqiu looked at the large handmade wardrobe made of solid wood and was extremely impressed.
She asked that the furniture not be painted, so the only smell was of wood.
Han Zhenyu walked in and asked her puzzledly, "Shengwen said you didn't allow me to paint it, don't you like that color?"
Su Xieqiu smiled and nodded, "I think the original wood ones are good."
Only then did she remember that the furniture in Han Zhenyu's room was also made according to her own preferences.
She immediately apologized and said, "I'm sorry, I forgot to ask you. If you like to paint, let Han Shengwen help you repaint it."
Han Zhenyu didn't say anything. He stared at her for a while before asking, "Are we going to sleep in separate rooms like this forever?"
Su Xieqiu blinked, and when she realized what he said, her face suddenly turned red.
She turned her face away and said awkwardly, "Didn't you say to try to understand it first? It hasn't been long yet."
Han Zhenyu felt a little embarrassed when he asked this question.
But looking at Su Xieqiu's blushing face, he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips.
He coughed and explained, "I'm not impatient, I just want to say that if we always sleep separately, it's not conducive to cultivating our relationship."
After Han Zhenyu finished speaking, he felt that it would be better not to give this explanation.
This makes you appear more anxious and gives people the feeling that you have bad intentions.
Su Xieqiu's face turned red again after hearing what he said.
Although she has never been in a relationship, she is not very conservative about these things, and she also likes this man a little.
She raised her head and quickly glanced at Han Zhenyu, bit her lip and thought for a while, then said, "How about trying it for another two months? If both of us have no objection, we can live together in the future."
As soon as Su Xieqiu finished speaking, Han Zhenyu immediately said, "Okay, just two months."
It seemed that if he spoke too slowly, Su Xieqiu would regret it.
After the date was set in two months, the atmosphere in the room became even more awkward.
Su Xieqiu touched his hair and said, "I'm going to cook."
Han Zhenyu smiled and said, "I've done it."
Seeing that Su Xieqiu didn't move, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and suddenly grabbed her hand and said, "Let's go eat, and then go shopping in the city together."
Su Xieqiu nodded, thinking that the two people's behavior was quite funny and a little childish.
I didn't expect that I could come here and have a pure love affair with such a man.
But it feels pretty good.
