As Haitang walked, she suddenly couldn't help but turn back to look at Dongfang Long. "Little Long... let's build the house closer to winter this year,"
She suddenly realized something: if all these things were prepared, it would take at least several years. She didn't care about the time it would take.
But when she saw this silly boy so happily preparing for all of this, wishing they could get married tomorrow but also afraid of upsetting him, her heart softened.
Her current behavior is somewhat like she insists on having financial security before marrying Dongfang Long. The problem is, Dongfang Long can provide her with financial security, but she still wants a mansion. Suddenly, she seems a bit scummy.
"Hmm," Dongfang Long nodded immediately upon hearing this. "What will the house be made of? Still wood?"
“Wood is fine, but we’ll use different kinds of wood. We can lay mud bricks on the ground and then cover it with marble. It will still be a good house,” Haitang said.
"Really? Tangtang..." Dongfang Long reached out and hugged Haitang, spinning her around several times. "I thought Tangtang thought I was too useless and wanted me to transform into a beast before saying she didn't want the wood anymore,"
"Silly boy, where did you come from? Nothing like that," Haitang shook her head and said. Looking at this silly boy, even though she felt that she was disliking him for not being able to transform into a beast, she was still secretly preparing on her own.
He remembered everything she had said before and tried his best to make things for Haitang. This feeling made Haitang feel a bit like her. Oh well... what's the point of worrying too much? She felt that things were fine as they were. Perhaps she now had the mindset that love is enough to make her feel content.
“But we need to start making mud bricks. We’ll prepare together then,” Haitang said. Dongfang Long nodded and took Haitang’s hand to go home.
Shi Hu stood at the door and watched, and couldn't help but sigh. "A daughter is like a tree that cannot be kept at home once she grows up," that's probably what they mean by this child. The problem... he understood Dongfang Long's thoughts.
During the day, he would go hunting by himself. When he returned, he would find good stones, take his prey, and then carry the stones back to the place where he planned to build his house.
Then there was the night when he would go out alone and secretly polish those stones, thinking that these were for him and Haitang, and he didn't want anyone else to handle them.
He had thought about this kind of young man's thoughts before, probably when he married Xingxing and Yueyue. That woman gave him the feeling of water, gentle and considerate.
However, he was not good at manual labor. Even when it came to gathering materials, it was his daughter who went. He didn't know this at the time. By the time he found out, the woman had already run away. Yueyue told him about it.
However, although he hated that woman, he couldn't deny that half of it was because he was blind to her true nature.
Haitang had a frank talk with Dongfanglong, and Dongfanglong didn't dare to go out and work at night anymore because Haitang caught him. Haitang said that the construction of the house would be postponed, and of course Dongfanglong didn't dare to do anything reckless.
Under such circumstances, Dongfanglong also returned to normal. When Haitang took her younger siblings to collect things, they would also communicate with other females in the village.
From the female, Haitang learned that Huo Qiu had mentioned the person was Guo'er, which didn't surprise her much. "Guo'er is so lucky. She won't have to worry about anything after marrying Huo Qiu. Huo Qiu can take the lion's share of meat! By the way… Haitang heard that Dongfang Long has chosen a place to build a house. When do you plan to build your house? Huo Qiu's family is building a house now; they said they'd go over as soon as it's finished,"
“It’s almost winter in my family, so now is not the right time,” Haitang said. She heard the others nod, and she felt a little regretful.
Dongfang Long was a slave and also a human, so no one could understand why Haitang had chosen him. However, there was nothing else they could say about it.
As for Haitang's current choice, it's hard for others to say. Of course, if things don't work out in the future, she can just break up with Dongfang Long. In this day and age, females and beastmen who can't get along will leave each other.
It's because Haitang's stepmother went too far, and she even ran off with the snake tribe, which is why everyone felt disgusted.
When Haitang was picking wild vegetables, she started washing them. After washing them, she carried them back, and Xiaolu started helping with the work in the field.
While Xiaohe was weeding and watering, Xiaolu loosened the soil on her side. Seeing Xiaohe working, Xiaolu immediately went over to help.
"Go sit down," Xiaohe nodded upon hearing this, and sat down not far away. She took a water jug and poured water. The water jug was a straight, round one that could hold two liters of boiling water.
After Haitang arrived, she forbade her younger siblings from drinking tap water, even when hot water was available. "By the way, did you go see Brother Xiaolong's house?"
“I went to see it,” Little Deer nodded. “It’s very nice.” The stone tools were all well-polished, and the tables and chairs were all the same. Although simple, they looked like top-quality items for this era.
Not only that, the other party also soaked the stone in water, then ground it until it was smooth, and Dongfang Long said he planned to use it to pave the ground so that it would be easier to clean.
Xiao Lu knew Dongfang Long's intentions from the beginning. He was a little helpless. Shi Hu had given in, and as the least family member in the family, he couldn't possibly say a word.
Sometimes Dongfang Long would ask him for help, and he felt that Dongfang Long was showing off. Xiao Lu still felt a little uncomfortable thinking about that smug expression.
“Yes, I think it’s great too. In the future, I also want to find a beastman like Brother Xiaolong. It doesn’t matter if he’s not a beastman or not. Someone who is willing to do these things for me will love me very much,” Xiaohe said.
