After being reborn, the young master returned to his village and led his wife and daughters to prosp

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhi put down what he was doing, walked over to Xie Hongye, and looked at her thin, fair body. He couldn't help but lower his head in shame and scratch the back of his head.

Xie Hongye had actually noticed the new man Lin Fan brought today long ago.

This guy looks alright, honest and simple, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. Although he's a bit dark-skinned, he's tall and strong with a muscular build, which gives you a sense of security.

"Hello, Second Brother Lin."

Xie Hongye stood up and politely greeted Lin Zhi.

Lin Zhi hurriedly replied, "Oh, okay, hello."

Seeing his awkwardness, Xie Hongye couldn't help but chuckle softly.

Lin Fan smiled even more broadly upon seeing this. There was hope! As long as the first impression wasn't unpleasant, there was still a good chance of success.

“Sister Hongye, we’re all adults now, so I’ll be frank with you. Actually, I’d like you to get to know my second brother, which is like setting him up on a blind date.”

"I just asked Uncle Xie and Aunt Xie, and they said that if you like my second brother and don't mind our family, you can marry into our family. So, would you like to get to know my second brother?"

Lin Fan tentatively asked.

These days, blind dates are arranged without any pressure or urgency, unlike in later generations. Both men and women, once they've agreed to a blind date, are expected to actively engage with each other.

Xie Hongye knows she's getting on in years and it's time for her to get married, but she hasn't met anyone she likes, and her family also needs help, so she's been putting it off until now.

Upon hearing Lin Fan's words, Xie Hongye couldn't help but blush.

She carefully examined Lin Zhi, nodded almost imperceptibly, and whispered, "Brother Lin is capable, and I believe your second brother is no less so. So let's... get to know each other..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Fan clapped his hands and laughed.

"OK!"

"Don't worry, Sister Hongye, my second brother is very good to our family. He'll definitely treat his wife well when he gets married!"

"Second Brother, did you hear that? Sister Hongye wants to spend more time with you, so be more diligent in helping out at the shop from now on!"

Lin Zhi was surprised that the shy girl in front of him actually agreed to go on a blind date with him, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Okay, I'll come and work every day from now on. I'm strong!"

Lin Zhi spoke with a serious expression.

Seeing Lin Zhi's dazed and silly appearance, Xie Hongye couldn't help but chuckle again, finding the big guy quite amusing.

……

As he left the shop and walked home, Lin Fan couldn't help but sigh.

People in this era are so great! They go on blind dates without any hesitation!

Given my second brother's personality, I believe that with more interaction, this matter might actually work out!

After returning home, Liu Chunlian cooked a separate meal for Lin Zhi to make sure he was full.

Although Lin Fan had already taken Lin Zhi to eat when they were in the county town, Lin Zhi often did physical labor and had a big appetite, so now that they had the opportunity, they naturally couldn't let him go hungry.

After lunch, in the afternoon, the villagers came to deliver more snails. By the time they finished collecting the snails, it was already past 5 p.m.

After a while of work, Lin Desheng squatted on the threshold and smoked a cigarette, while Lin Zhi next to him picked up a big white steamed bun and started eating it.

Zhang Weihao and Lin Fan brought over a few cups of water and placed them on the ground. Everyone drank and chatted while resting.

"Dad, brother-in-law, second brother, I have an idea!"

Lin Fan looked at the men in the house, thought for a moment, and then spoke.

"What's up, third brother? You've come up with another way to make money?"

Lin Desheng exhaled the smoke from his mouth and looked at Lin Fan, asking a question.

Zhang Weihao and Lin Zhi, who were standing next to him, also looked at him.

Lin Fan smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's not a way to make money. I was thinking that my second brother is back now, and it's time to build him a new house!"

"And we should also renovate our respective homes, don't you think?"

Now, including the money from selling snails in the past two days and the money from selling fur coats before, Lin Fan has at least 20,000 yuan in hand. Once all the fur coats are sold this month, his income will be around 30,000 to 40,000 yuan.

Building a new house, like the one Lin Fan and the others lived in before, a simple one, would only cost a thousand yuan.

If a larger one were to be built, it would be more expensive. If all the bricks were of the highest quality, and then the old house, the older sister's place, and the room where Lin Fan himself lived were all renovated, Lin Fan estimated that it would cost close to ten thousand yuan.

If Lin Fan hadn't had enough funds before, he would have planned to delay further, but now that he has money, it's time to take action.

"Why did you suddenly decide to build a house?"

Lin Desheng frowned slightly and looked at Lin Fan, asking a question.

Lin Fan recounted what had happened at the tailor shop that day to the group, then said with a smile, "If this works out, then Second Brother will be getting married soon."

"We can't neglect that young lady; the new house must be built!"

"And in our own homes, it's inconvenient for everyone to take a shower or use the toilet. Let's renovate them properly and build a special place for showering, so that we can improve our quality of life just like city people."

Lin Fan spoke with great enthusiasm.

Upon hearing this, Lin Desheng immediately put away his pipe, tapped it on the ground, and said, "That's right, the second brother is at the age where he should settle down and start a family. Since you're willing to take care of this, the third brother, I'll go find someone!"

Like my second brother, there are many people in the village who work on construction sites, so they don't need to hire people from outside to build a new house.

If we pay everyone their wages and get the villagers involved, we can build this new house very quickly.

With this matter settled, dinner was almost ready.

After dinner, the family gathered in the yard for a chat.

As the evening breeze blows, the pressure and worries in my heart disappear, and the busyness of the whole day is swept away.

Lin Fan, carrying his books, entered the room where Lin Shuying and the others were resting.

Seeing Lin Shuying intently reading the elementary-level textbook that Teacher Wei had given her while leaning against the headboard, he couldn't help but quietly move closer.

Lin Shuying is currently learning basic English. Although her foundation is very weak, she is working very hard!

Lin Fan stood to the side for a long time, and seeing that Lin Shuying hadn't noticed him coming in, he couldn't help but cough.

Lin Shuying was startled and couldn't help but look up at Lin Fan reproachfully, whispering, "Honey, you scared me!"

Lin Fan grinned and moved closer to Lin Shuying, taking the textbook from in front of her: "You've been busy all day and haven't been able to spend much time with me. Did you miss your husband?"

Lin Shuying rolled her eyes at Lin Fan, blushing as she said, "What do you mean by 'want' or 'don't you're ashamed'?"
