Not long after Auntie Dahua came home, she heard someone shouting at the door.
She walked out of the kitchen and took a look. When she saw the boy from the Shen family standing at the door, she asked, "Boy from the Shen family, are you here to see your uncle?"
"Yes, aunt, I wonder if my uncle is at home?" Shen Gongqi asked
"He hasn't come back yet. He should still be in the office over at the village committee. You go over there and have a look," Aunt Dahua said.
"Okay, thank you, auntie, for telling me." Shen Gongqi thanked him.
"You're welcome"
Shen Gongqi went to the village committee office again and found the team leader there.
"Young boy from the Shen family, why are you coming to see me now?" the captain asked when he saw him coming.
"The captain is like this. I came here to ask about the land approved for me to build a house in the village," Shen Gongqi asked.
"So that's what happened. I should have approved it for you at the beginning of the year, but everyone was busy with farm work at that time, so it was postponed until now. Do you have any ideas? Where do you want to build the house?" Captain asked
"Uncle Captain, can I choose anywhere?" Shen Gongqi asked.
"You can't choose anywhere. There is no place to build houses in the middle of the village. Now it's just the end of the village. You can choose anything except planting land," the captain said.
"Then can I choose to live next door to Fang Zhiqing's house? I remember there is a piece of flat land there," Shen Gongqi asked.
"You actually chose that side. It's not impossible. I'm just afraid that there will be some gossip in the village. After all, only Fang Zhiqing and her daughter live there," the captain said hesitantly.
What he was also afraid of was what would happen then. After all, Fang himself had a good relationship with his mother-in-law.
"Uncle Captain, you don't know yet. Fang Zhiqing and I are currently in a relationship. We chose which one because we can combine the two courtyards together after we get married." Shen Gongqi also didn't hide that they wanted to combine the two courtyards. The idea of a courtyard was first discussed with the captain.
"You two are in love? When did it happen?" The captain has been busy here today, so he has never heard of it.
"It's just happened in the past few days, uncle, don't worry now. Where can I get my homestead approved?" Shen Gongqi asked.
"Okay, since you two are already in a relationship, let me give you a place. Wait while I get a pen and paper. Let's go take a look and divide your homestead. You can also find someone to hurry up. Let's start construction and move out of the mountains as soon as possible." The captain said, got up and got paper and pen, and then went to the end of the village with Shen Gongqi.
Ten minutes later, the two of them arrived next door to Fang Nuo's house, and Shen Gong took over the flat land next to Fang Nuo's house.
Then he first sent Yaya's things to Fang Nuo, and then he and the team leader roughly drew out the area of the area with lime.
Later, Shen Gongqi told the team leader that he wanted to hire some strong laborers in the village to help build the house.
The captain also agreed. The village has been slack in farming recently and he is still willing to help if it can increase the villagers' income.
The two discussed the next person's day's wages, and then the purchase of sand, bricks, and tiles. Finally, they paid part of the money to the captain, and he returned home.
Fang Nuo is drying wild vegetables here, and Yaya is also waking up over there.
After packing Yaya and putting her clothes on, she carried her to the ground and let her go on her own, then she went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
The staple food for dinner is steamed buns with rice porridge, and a pickle. The main thing is the many wild vegetables she brought back recently. This is also the season for eating.
Then there is a cabbage stewed vermicelli with a few pieces of meat stewed together.
Just this dish and one soup, she had it all ready in no time.
When Shen Gongqi came over, the two of them took Xiao Yaya to have dinner in the kitchen.
While eating the meal, Shen Gongqi said: "The team leader has divided the land today. I will go to bring back all the building materials in the next two days. I may not be able to bring Yaya with me."
"If you have anything to do, go and get busy. Yaya, I can also send it to Aunt Dahua to help bring it. There are a lot of wild vegetables in the mountains these days, so I just want to get some more to prepare and send some to my family when the time comes." Fang Nuo said
"Well, when I finish this period of work, I will go get it with you," Shen Gongqi said.
"Hmm, eat your food quickly, you're welcome." Fang Nuo saw him eating with her and was always embarrassed to pick up the food, so she persuaded him while picking up the food for him.
"Yeah, yeah, I've eaten everything," Shen Gongqi said in a low voice while finishing up.
Yaya was sitting on her small dining chair. Fang Nuo prepared some separate food for her and asked her to eat it by herself first.
Her dining chair was custom-made by Fang Nuo at the beginning of the year. She took the drawings to an old carpenter in the village and spent eight yuan.
At that time, Aunt Dahua thought she was pretty, but when she heard the price, the capital said she was too spendthrift.
But Fang Nuo thought about spending eight yuan to make a dining chair for Yaya so that she could sit and eat by herself during mealtime, otherwise she would have to be chased all over the floor to feed her.
After eating, Shen Gongqi consciously went to wash the dishes. After washing the dishes, he walked to sit down opposite Fang Nuo. He took out a handful of money and two bankbooks from his clothes and handed them some bills. Fang Nuo.
"These are all the money I have saved over the years. Now that you are my partner, I will leave it to you," Shen Gongqi said.
Fang Nuo didn't expect that he would take care of the money just after they fell in love.
Thinking that the two of them would not be able to be together for fear of what would happen later, he refused: "We are just in a relationship now. You should keep these things for yourself first. After we get married, if you want me to take care of them, give them to me."
"I'll give it to you now. You are my partner now. I should be raising you," Shen Gongqi insisted.
"Then you're not afraid of running away with the money?" Fang Nuo asked with a smile.
"Don't be afraid. Since we have decided to be together, I can accept whatever happens in the future," Shen Gongqi said.
"Then what if I spend it all?" Fang Nuo asked again
"Then I will make more money. Don't worry, I will definitely not let Na and Yaya starve with me," Shen Gongqi said
"Okay, then I will save the money for you first. If you want to buy something, just come and get it from me, you know?" Fang Nuo said and took the money.
She thought that the worst she could do was to put it away first, and if the two of them ended up not being together, she would return it intact.
But she didn't say these words. In this era, virgins of both sexes are rushing to get married. Although she also wants him to get married, she is also afraid that when the two of them get along, they find something that is unacceptable to kill her. Then she will definitely Will cut through the mess quickly.
I think so in my heart, but I won't say it out loud, which ruins the current atmosphere between the two of them.
Seeing that she accepted it, Shen Gongqi put a smile on his face, then went to pick up Yaya and took her to run and play in the yard for a while. After seeing that it was getting dark, he went home.
After Shen Gongqi left, Fang Nuo escorted him out of the courtyard and waited until they were far away before returning to the courtyard and closing the door.
