It was just the beginning of winter and there was only the finishing touches left to the house, so Ye Ze went to the town to pick up the furniture that he had ordered earlier. The carpenter shop also sent two ox carts to deliver the furniture, and it took the three ox carts seven or eight trips to finish the work.

The rooms that were to be lived in had already been dried over charcoal fires, so now they could just put the new furniture in and move in directly.

However, there are also some rules for moving in the countryside. Old Mrs. Ye asked someone to pick a date in advance and decided that they could move in on the ninth day of the winter month, which would allow the new house to air out for a few more days.

On the day Ye Ze came back from pulling furniture, many villagers gathered outside the house to watch the fun. Old Mrs. Ye and her three daughters-in-law were surrounded by a group of people, asking them all kinds of questions. They were so envious, and of course there were also those who were jealous.

Ma Po looked at Zhao Li beside Old Lady Ye and asked, "Is this your third daughter-in-law? She is so beautiful."

Old Mrs. Ye smiled and nodded. Before she could say anything, Mrs. Ma said, "Eh? Did Shen Zhao and she get married on the same day? I heard that Shen Zhao is pregnant, and your daughter-in-law..." As she spoke, Mrs. Ma's eyes couldn't help but fall on Zhao Li's belly.

Zhao Li subconsciously covered her stomach and leaned behind Old Lady Ye. She didn't want to be looked at like a monkey.

If it was when Zhao Li had just gotten married, Old Lady Ye would definitely be unhappy to hear this, but now, Old Lady Ye is in a much calmer mood, "Pregnancy depends on fate, and my Li'er's fate has not come yet."

"What's the point of fate? Every woman gets pregnant as soon as she gets married. She's so thin. Could there be something wrong with her body?" Mrs. Ma muttered in a low voice.

She just couldn't stand the fact that Old Lady Ye's family was living better and better, and wanted to make her unhappy. It was obvious that everyone was equally poor before, but only your family became rich. Who wouldn't feel upset?

Old Lady Ye immediately stopped smiling and said with a straight face, "My daughter-in-law is in good health!"

Thinking of what her mother-in-law said on the day of the tea ceremony, Zhao Li felt inexplicably nervous. Why did she suddenly mention pregnancy? Zhao Li shook Old Lady Ye's arm and shouted worriedly, "Mom?"

Old Lady Ye thought she was scared, so she patted her hands and whispered to comfort her, "It's okay, you have been married for a short time, so there is no need to rush to have a baby."

Zhao Li: "Yeah." The mother-in-law didn't seem angry. That's good, that's good. Zhao Li breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

"Mrs. Ma, I think you are just meddling in other people's affairs. What does it have to do with you whether my daughter-in-law is pregnant or not?"

"Exactly. Who can say for sure about pregnancy? It took me three years to give birth to my first child."

The ones talking were Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Li, who often chatted with Old Lady Ye. They all lived in the same village and knew each other's temper.

Mrs. Ma couldn't help shrinking her neck when she heard this: "I just asked casually, why are you so anxious?"

The rumbling of an oxcart came from the small path, and the people standing outside the door subconsciously took a few steps back to make way for the oxcart.

Aunt Ye Liu and her daughter-in-law Qin also came early. Looking at the ox cart that just came in, they asked, "Hey, was that a bed just pulled in? It's so beautiful. Sister-in-law is so lucky."

Qin also said: "I counted and pulled in five or six dressing tables alone..." Envy!

Listening to people's envious tone, Old Mrs. Ye smiled without saying anything.

As carts of new furniture were pulled in, Ma couldn't help but come closer: "Liu, can we go in and take a look ahead? What's the point of just looking at it from the outside?"

When they heard that they could go in and take a look, everyone's eyes fell on Old Lady Ye. They also wanted to go in and take a look, but they were not as shameless as Old Lady Ma to say it out loud.

Seeing this, Old Lady Ye said generously: "Then let's go in and take a look. Let's go."

Chen had wanted to go in and take a look for a long time. She never dared to dream of living in such a nice house! However, in front of her mother-in-law, she still tried her best to remain calm on the surface.

Old Mrs. Ye was supported by Lin and Zhao Li on her left and right, and entered the yard with everyone else. As soon as they entered the door, they saw a white marble carved screen wall. They walked around the screen wall and passed through the hanging flower gate to reach the front yard.

The ground is paved with bluestone bricks, and open space is reserved on the sides for planting flowers and trees.

"Why is this yard cleaner than my house? Is this the same for the yards of the grown men in town?"

"Eh? Why aren't there paving stones over there?"

Old Mrs. Ye took a look and said, "It's for growing vegetables."

"Oh, there's a little less space left."

Old Lady Ye: "It's okay. There's still a lot of open space over there. We can plant some vegetables there when the time comes."

Ye Ze didn't hear these words, otherwise he would have cried. The vacant space over there that Old Lady Ye was talking about was the garden left by Ye Ze. He also built a two-story building with a balcony in the garden.

Thinking about planting flowers, trees and rocks in the garden, and then building a stream, he and his wife could sit on the balcony to admire the flowers and bask in the sun, and enjoy their retirement life in advance.

If the old lady planted vegetables here, the situation would change drastically!

......

It took me a whole day and a half to finally put all the furniture back in place.

In the afternoon, Ye Ze took Zhao Li upstairs to decorate their own room, hung curtains on the windows, pulled the bedspread over the bed, and spread out new bedding...just waiting to move in in a few days to spend the winter!

"This fabric is so nice. Isn't it a waste to use it to make curtains?" Zhao Li asked, touching the light blue fabric in her hand. The fabric was soft and smooth. It would look so beautiful if it was used to make clothes.

"If you like it, I'll buy more and you can do whatever you want with it." Ye Ze said with a smile.

"Okay."

The two of them decorated the room upstairs. Zhao Li happily admired the fruits of their labor, and Ye Ze admired her.

“This room is really nice.”

"Yeah, she's pretty, too."

"Hmm?" Zhao Li looked up and saw Ye Ze's smiling eyes staring at her. A blush immediately rose on her pretty face and she lowered her head quickly: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I like to watch it." Ye Ze hugged her in his arms lovingly. His little wife was so cute that he couldn't help but want to have a taste of her.

Zhao Li leaned shyly in his arms, her heart beating fast.

There were only the two of them in the room, snuggling together, and the atmosphere was just right.

"Pear..."

"What..." Looking at the handsome face that was slowly enlarging in front of me, I forgot to react for a moment. What did he want to do?

Ye Ze was also very nervous, but one of them had to take the first step, and that person could only be him. He didn't experience the benefits of being a woman in his previous life. Now that he had a wife, if he still acted pretentiously in this life, he would be sick!

Ye Ze prepared himself mentally and finally mustered up the courage to approach Zhao Li, wanting to kiss his wife. Zhao Li cooperated and did not dodge, even though her heart was pounding like a drum and her cheeks were almost flushed.

As a result, just when Ye Ze was about to succeed, the sound of "clang clang clang" of gongs suddenly rang out outside.
