However, when her eyes swept over the staggered lines and markings.
But unexpectedly, I was deeply attracted by one of the drawings.
She remembered that place very clearly. It was right next to the moonlit path last night.
"Grandpa Village Director, this piece of land...is it expensive?"
There was a hint of excitement in her words that was hard to conceal for a moment.
She actually forgot to ask Yin Yunjie's opinion first, and that innocent impulse almost overflowed from her eyes.
Upon hearing this, the village chief rubbed the edge of the map with his slightly mottled fingers and took a deep puff of the pipe in his hand.
Then he exhaled a puff of smoke. "This piece of land is quite remote, with few neighbors around it. Because of this, it's the least noticeable of all the plots, and also the most affordable. Miss Xu, don't just choose this place because it's cheap. When Yin Yunjie goes out to make a living, wouldn't it be better for you and grandma to live in a more populated area so you can look after each other?"
The village director's mind was full of thoughts about the future life of the young couple.
He thought Xu Qinghe was being frugal for the sake of her family, and he couldn't help but secretly admire her virtue and housekeeping skills.
After all, having lived on this land for most of his life, he knows how important it is for neighbors to support each other.
Upon hearing this, Xu Qinghe glanced at Yin Yunjie and saw that he had a calm expression and didn't seem to be too concerned about the site selection.
So, she put on a sincere and natural smile and said earnestly, "It's okay, Village Director Grandpa. Actually, my grandma and I both like quietness. Although that piece of land is cheap, it's spacious. Compared to other places, it can give us more space to get close to nature. I think it's great."
Her words revealed a maturity and independence beyond her age.
That sincerity warmed people's hearts, but it also made the village chief feel more worried, as he always felt that she was overly concerned about the economic burden.
The village director turned his gaze slightly to the taciturn Yin Yunjie, as if seeking his opinion.
Yin Yunjie felt Xu Qinghe's expectant gaze.
Those bright eyes sparkled with an insatiable desire for that piece of land.
He knew clearly in his heart that what her heart desired was the direction of his choice.
"Since she likes it, let's take this piece of land."
Although Yin Yunjie's words were concise, they contained infinite love and support for Xu Qinghe.
Hearing this, a huge stone in Xu Qinghe's heart fell to the ground quietly.
On the other hand, the village director's eyes revealed a hint of disapproval.
Inwardly, she lamented Yin Yunjie's youth and lack of understanding of romance, and felt that he had not yet been able to fully understand a woman's delicate mind.
But on second thought, he had fulfilled his responsibilities as an elder.
Now that the couple agreed, he didn't say anything more and simply quoted the price of the land.
Yin Yunjie's purpose of this trip was very clear, and he had already carefully prepared the funds needed to purchase the land.
Almost without hesitation, he handed the prepared silver to the village chief and took the heavy land deed.
Xu Qinghe followed closely behind, and the two of them set out on their journey home side by side.
On the way, Xu Qinghe's heart was beating like a deer, and she was a little nervous.
I didn't know how to explain why I had such a special liking for that remote place.
Yin Yunjie usually doesn't talk much, and at this moment he is even more silent than usual.
After leaving the village director's house, he did not rush to ask questions, and seemed willing to give her enough time and space to let her speak on her own initiative.
Finally, after a period of inner struggle, Xu Qinghe mustered up the courage and quietly broke the silence: "Why don't you ask me why I insisted on choosing that piece of land?"
When Yin Yunjie heard this, he seemed not to have expected her to ask this question.
He turned his head gently, his eyes deep and warm, and replied softly, "You like it, and you have your reasons. When we build a house, the most important thing is to make you live comfortably and safely. The place you like is the best choice for me."
In Yin Yunjie's heart, he knew very well that Xu Qinghe was not a woman who would be tempted by small profits. Before the village director even opened his mouth to offer a price, her love for the land was already revealed in her eyes.
There was also a subtle feeling that made him believe that even if the land was priceless, she would want to own it without hesitation.
Recalling her eyes at that time, it was not just pure joy, but also an almost fanatical expectation.
Although he didn't understand the reason, his intuition told him that in this subtle atmosphere.
The wisest thing to do is to go with the flow and show your sincerity and support by opening your wallet.
This inexplicable tacit understanding made him smile slightly.
Xu Qinghe caught his matter-of-fact expression, and the uneasiness in his heart instantly disappeared.
She secretly felt lucky that her worries were unnecessary.
"Well, when we get back to our little nest later, I'll show you something. Then you'll understand my intention."
Her voice was soft and expectant.
After she finished speaking, Xu Qinghe's pace unconsciously quickened. She was eager to share the surprise.
The moment she pushed open the door, she quickly glanced around to confirm that her neighbor Sun Youfang was not chatting outside, then quickly closed the door with a mysterious smile on her face.
She walked around the room and finally carefully took out a heavy gold brick from a hidden corner.
It was placed solemnly on the table.
"It was on that seemingly ordinary piece of land, under the hazy moonlight last night, that I discovered this treasure. I suspect there may be more secrets hidden underground, so we must obtain that piece of land."
There was excitement in Xu Qinghe's tone as if he had discovered a treasure.
Her eyes were fixed on Yin Yunjie's face, unwilling to miss any subtle change in his expression.
She was very curious to know what he thought of this sudden wealth.
Yin Yunjie looked at the gold bricks in front of him and was stunned for a moment, then the old owner of the land emerged in his mind.
A once prosperous landlord lost his family and the land became a deserted place with no one paying attention to it.
He thought to himself that this gold brick was most likely lost during the war.
He picked up the gold brick carefully and examined it carefully.
After confirming that it was correct, he gently placed it back in its original place and said earnestly, "Since you found it yourself, you must keep it properly and keep it confidential for the near future to avoid causing any trouble. As for that area, we need to clean it up thoroughly. I will go and check on the details as soon as possible."
Xu Qinghe's heart relaxed and a relaxed and happy smile appeared on his face.
"Then let's find some time to go there together."
Yin Yunjie nodded silently, turned around and began to pack their newly moved luggage, preparing to sleep on the floor in the simple house for the night.
