The reason why Bai Jing chose to build the house here was, firstly, because he had previously promised the Bai family that he would move to Lijia Village to settle down. Now that Bai Jing was going to marry Li Jia, it was most appropriate to live in Lijia Village. Secondly, because this place was right next to Li Xiaoxiao's house, it would be more convenient to visit in the future.

The house he built was much smaller than the yard of Li Xiaoxiao's house. After all, he had limited money. Although Li Xiaoxiao said that he could advance the money to Bai Jing after learning about his plan to build a house, Bai Jing was a man who knew how to do things within his means. He felt that a house should be enough to live in. Therefore, after discussing with Li Jia, he decided to build a small yard with two entrances.

In order to make the house look good and more comfortable to live in, Bai Jing specially asked Li Xiaoxiao to help design the blueprint of the new house. Li Xiaoxiao quickly finished the blueprint in the evening.

Bai Jing was very satisfied with the blueprints, and the next day he asked Li Xiaoxiao to take him to find Uncle Wang in the village and ask him to help build the house. Uncle Wang happened to have no other work on hand, so he took it.

Bai Jing directly gave the drawings drawn by Li Xiaoxiao to Uncle Wang and asked him to start work according to the drawings.

In order to speed up the progress, Uncle Wang directly found five young and strong men in the village to help, including Wang Dali, a total of seven people.

When Bai Jing and Bai Dong are not busy, they will go to the new house to help, and Li Jia will take on the task of making lunch for them. Seeing the loving couple helping each other, Li Xiaoxiao is happy for them and envious at the same time.

Under Bai Jing's supervision, the new house was completed in two months by the end of September. By then, crayfish were almost out of season, so Bai Jing no longer had to go to town every day and could focus on taking care of the crayfish in the shrimp farm.

After spending some time together, Bai Jing and Li Jia's relationship has become increasingly better. Aunt Zhang sees it and is delighted. She is becoming more and more satisfied with Bai Jing as her son-in-law. Later, when she sees that Bai Jing built a house directly in Lijia Village, she is even more delighted. As a mother, she is naturally happy that her daughter is marrying close to her parents' home.

Bai often lamented about this, fearing that Li Xiaoxiao would marry far away in the future and it would be difficult for her to return to her parents' home. Every time Bai lamented, Li Xiaoxiao would tell her that she would not marry, so Bai didn't dare to say anything later.

On the day they moved into their new home, Bai Jing invited Li Xiaoxiao's family and other close friends from the village to a meal. Wang Shi also came with her eldest daughter-in-law, Xiuqin, and their two children. Everyone was full of praise for the new house, praising Bai Jing's ability and saying that Li Jia had found a good husband.

Bai Jing felt very happy after hearing this. He felt that marrying Li Jia was the luckiest thing in his life.

"It's so beautiful, uncle, you are so capable!" Li Xiaoxiao exclaimed as she looked at the warm decoration inside the house.

Bai Jing smiled and said, "This is all thanks to your design. Li Jia and I are very satisfied."

Li Jia also smiled and said, "Xiaoxiao, we will be neighbors from now on. We will take care of each other."

Li Xiaoxiao nodded. After getting along with her for a long time, she also liked her aunt Li Jia very much.

All in all, Bai Jing's house has only five main rooms, plus a kitchen, a shower room and a toilet. Bai Jing also developed several small vegetable plots in the yard, where he can grow some vegetables, fruits and so on. To be honest, Li Xiaoxiao likes Bai Jing's small yard very much. It is warm and full of life.

After visiting the courtyard and having lunch at Bai Jing's house, Li Xiaoxiao, Bai Shi and others went back first. Bai Jing also moved out of Li Xiaoxiao's house and lived in the new house, saying that he wanted to gain some popularity first. Bai Jing asked Bai Dong to move in with him, but considering that only Bai Dong and his wife would live there at that time, it would not be convenient for Bai Dong, a grown man, to move in, so Bai Dong did not agree and continued to live in Li Xiaoxiao's house.

"Uncle, you can just live in our house with peace of mind. When the Chinese New Year comes this year, let grandma and the others come over, and we will celebrate the New Year together as a family, and it will be lively and exciting." Li Xiaoxiao said to Bai Dong with a smile.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. Xiaoxiao, uncle wants to discuss something with you." Bai Dong said, scratching his head a little embarrassedly.

Seeing Bai Dong, a grown man, so embarrassed, Li Xiaoxiao just found it funny, "Uncle, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly, don't be embarrassed."

"Uncle is thinking that now your uncle's house is finished, and your grandmother and aunt will move in during the Chinese New Year. It's not a good idea to live here forever. Uncle is thinking about whether we can get some advance wages so that we can build a house next door."

Li Xiaoxiao understood Bai Dong's idea, and she readily agreed to the advance payment.

"Uncle, why don't you build your house like my uncle's? What do you think?" Li Xiaoxiao asked Bai Dong.

"That's certainly good. Your uncle's house is well built. Your aunt and I like it very much." Bai Dong said with a smile.

Bai Jing simply gave Bai Dong the blueprints of his previous house. A few days later, construction began on Bai Dong's new house. It was Uncle Wang from the village who took on the job.

Bai Jing and Li Jia often went to help, and the family enjoyed themselves very much. Wang and his family in Baishui Village heard that Bai Dong was going to build a house, so they came to help after the busy farming season. With more people, there was more power, and the construction went much faster.

Now Bai Dong is also responsible for chopping peppers. Manager Zhao said that while the weather is not too cold and there are still peppers, they should prepare more chopped peppers. So Li Xiaoxiao's family has been busy making chopped peppers recently. The villagers saw that truckloads of peppers were shipped into Li Xiaoxiao's house during this period, and they envied those who could work in Li Xiaoxiao's house.

In order to save time, Li Xiaoxiao selected five or six capable women and young men in the village to join the ranks of making chopped peppers.

That day, when Li Xiaoxiao was busy at home, Yun Che came over with Yun Yi again.

The two hadn't seen each other for several months, and had only exchanged letters once or twice. Li Xiaoxiao also knew that Yun Che had returned to the capital.

He just didn't expect Yun Che to come back at this time. Looking at the person he had been thinking about, Yun Che wanted to hug him directly, but he still restrained his impulse.

“Yun Che, how are you?” Li Xiaoxiao nodded slightly.

“I rushed here after finishing my business in the capital. I kind of missed the delicious food you cooked.” Yun Che said with a smile.

"I'm afraid I don't have time to entertain you today. I'm really sorry." Li Xiaoxiao looked embarrassed.

“But what’s going on at home? If you need any help, just let me know.” Yun Che said hurriedly.

"I'm making chopped peppers and I'm really too busy to do anything else," Li Xiaoxiao explained.

"Chopped peppers?" Yun Che asked curiously.

"Yes, Manager Zhao ordered a batch of chopped peppers, and we are speeding up the production." Li Xiaoxiao said.

Yun Che looked at the busy crowd and a thought occurred to him, “Can I join in?”

"This..." Li Xiaoxiao hesitated.

"I have plenty of strength, and Yun Yi can help me. Just tell me what to do." Yun Che said. After hearing what his master said, Yun Yi, who was standing next to him, could only helplessly take off the sword he was carrying and put it aside.

Li Xiaoxiao thought about it and nodded in agreement, "Then I'll trouble you."

Yun Che was overjoyed and immediately rolled up his sleeves to join the team making the chopped peppers.
