In the stove, the firewood was burning vigorously, the flames were jumping, and there was a "crackling" sound from time to time.

The boy's eyes were half-closed, and he held a pen in his right hand, scribbling on the paper with a calm and focused expression.

Song Yan's eyes fell uncontrollably on the other person's thin lips.

His lips seemed to still retain the warmth of the kiss just now, moist, warm, and lingering, like a drizzle in spring, nourishing the heart.

Song Yan couldn't help but feel dry in the mouth and subconsciously licked her lips. She could still vaguely smell the scent of Shu Changyu, which was cold and distant.

At this moment, he felt as if he was floating in the clouds, light and unreal.

He is in love with Shu Changyu.

Hey.

Song Yan smiled foolishly for a while until her earlobe was pinched a few times.

This time Song Yan didn't feel angry. Instead, she wanted to get closer and let Shu Changyu pinch her a few more times.

Song Yan sighed silently, he must have been from Southwest Province in his previous life, otherwise how could he be a bit of a henpecked man.

"Come back to your senses." Shu Changyu's slightly cold voice fell into his ears.

Song Yan's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and she felt a subtle throbbing in her chest.

He seemed unable to resist Shu Changyu's voice.

Every time Shu Changyu spoke in his ear, his cochlea felt like it was being gently tickled by a feather, causing a tingling sensation.

Song Yan tilted her head and looked at the blueprint drawn by Shu Changyu on the table, pretending to be calm and said, "Ahem, that's it."

After the yard was built, he asked a matchmaker to go to the Shu family to propose marriage.

Shu Changyu added: "I will send someone to order the stone table you want."

At this moment, Song Yan's thoughts were still wandering, and she didn't notice that Shu Changyu said "send someone" instead of "invite someone."

"How much silver? I'll pay for it all." He said in a generous tone.

Shu Changyu glanced at him and said casually, "One thousand taels."

"One, one thousand taels?!"

Song Yan gasped and her voice became trembling.

He asked tentatively: "That is to say, can we negotiate and buy cheaper stones?"

Shu Changyu uttered a "huh".

Song Yan gritted her teeth and decided to buy it!

You can't let Shu Changyu follow him and suffer injustice.

Shu Changyu smiled and pointed at the drawing: "Dig another pond here."

"dig!"

"Put a swing here."

"Swing?" Song Yan was surprised, then said with a smile, "You still like to play on the swing."

Shu Changyu gave him an ambiguous look.

Song Yan didn't notice the deep meaning in his eyes, and nodded readily: "Okay."

A year later, when Song Yan realized it, it was too late.

For countless nights, he bit the corner of the quilt and regretted it so much that his intestines turned green.

It’s all because I was blinded by her beauty and agreed to build a swing in the yard with Shu Changyu.

However, that was a year later.

At this moment, Song Yan still didn't know how he would regret it in the future. He even asked Shu Changyu happily: "Is there anything else that needs to be changed?"

Shu Changyu reluctantly said, "That's all for now."

However, Song Yan remembered something and asked him, "How do you get spring water from the mountain? I also want to get spring water in my new house."

Shu Changyu pinched a strand of hair spread out on the table and said nonchalantly, "We have to go into the mountains to find a water source, preferably one nearby."

Seeing that it was still early, Song Yan asked, "Can we go now?"

Shu Changyu responded reluctantly.

Song Yan couldn't wait to stand up. Suddenly, his hair felt like it was being pulled and his scalp hurt. He hissed softly.

He looked back suspiciously.

Shu Changyu withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened and looked back calmly.

Song Yan was too lazy to bother about what happened just now. He said, "Wait a moment. I'll go talk to Brother Shitou and ask them to tear down the east wing."

After a while.

"What? It's being demolished?" Shitou was shocked and looked at Song Yan with a ridiculous look. "Why is it being demolished for no reason?"

Song Yan had no choice but to explain: "I plan to convert the east wing into a pavilion, and put the livestock shed outside."

As he spoke, he took out the blueprint that Shu Changyu had just drawn and showed it to him.

"In addition, I want to build a courtyard behind the main house."

Shi Tou was not a stupid person. He guessed the whole story after a little thought.

Xiao Song just took people to visit his new house, and when he came back he said that he wanted to tear down the house that was almost completed.

It was obvious that the girl was not satisfied with the new house and asked Song Yan to tear it down.

This is too arrogant. She is already giving orders to her husband's family before she even enters the house.

Shitou shook his head and said earnestly, "Xiao Song, this woman can't be spoiled like this."

Song Yan naturally wanted to protect Shu Changyu. He smiled and said, "Brother, I wanted to change it myself. It has nothing to do with him."

Shitou saw that he insisted and didn't want to persuade him anymore. After all, this was not the only outrageous thing Xiao Song had done.

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to demolish the east wing right away."

When the others heard this, they were dumbfounded.

What?

The house was almost completed, why did they tear it down just like that?

Shitou glared at them and said, "Just tear it down when I told you to. Why are you asking so many questions?"

Baldy Eyes asked cautiously, "How should the wages be calculated?"

"As usual, I earn my wages day by day."

Shitou then continued, "We'll build a yard behind the main house, and try to finish the house by the end of next month before the snow starts to fall."

When the others calculated that they could get an extra month's salary, they stopped complaining.

On the contrary, they were secretly delighted in their hearts.

After Song Yan finished instructing Shi Tou, she went back to take a look at the bone soup being cooked in the clay pot.

The soup is rich in color and fragrant, and the soup base is almost cooked.

He took out the firewood, leaving some charcoal to continue simmering.

"Okay, let's go into the mountains." He told Song Wanzhou, then went out with Shu Changyu.

Before going out, Song Yan wanted to pick up his backpack and pick some mushrooms, but Shu Changyu grabbed his wrist and pulled him away.

Song Yan: Forget it, if you don’t want to pick them up, then don’t pick them up. We have some mushrooms at home.

The two of them walked up the mountain slowly.

It is now October and the beginning of winter has passed.

Although it is late autumn, it is actually early winter.

The winters here are not very cold, but the north side of the mountain is often attacked by cold snow.

Many people freeze to death every winter.

Song Yan, who had studied geography, knew that this was because the cold current was blocked by the mountains when it moved south, so Yunshan County in the south of the mountain was relatively warm.

Despite this, winters in Yunshan County can still be very cold.

He still needs to prepare some winter clothes.

In this era when cotton was not popular, people could only rely on animal fur to keep out the cold.

For example, sheepskin or rabbit fur.

Song's father was a hunter and the family had some furs, but most of them were pawned to buy medicine for Song's mother.

It seems that he will have to go to the county town at the end of the month to buy some furs.

But the last time he was imprisoned still left him with lingering fears.

He asked Shu Changyu hesitantly: "Shu Changyu, do you want to go to the county town together at the end of the month?"

Shu Changyu just responded calmly: "Oh."
