Era: The naive beauty charmed the villain!

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Gu Qingsong and Lin An'an set off with the children.

Lin Jincheng had already decided that he would follow them wherever they went.

For her, no matter where she went, in her memory, she only had good days with Gu Qingsong and Lin An'an.

After learning that they were moving to Haishi, Lin Jincheng didn't hesitate for a second.

After confirming that she would not be a burden or cause them any inconvenience, she decisively decided to go with them to develop their careers in Haishi.

So at this moment, Lin Jincheng followed behind like a little tail, helping to carry the packages.

In this day and age, the experience of long-distance train travel is often less than ideal.

In the past, when Gu Qingsong and his brothers went to the south, they always did whatever was most convenient.

Sometimes, in order to get to their destination, they would even cling to the freight car and stand all the way there in the middle of the night.

Being able to travel by train safely is already a luxury for them.

On the train, the group of men would just make do with whatever they could find.

But this time was different. Since he had his wife and children with him, Gu Qingsong naturally did his best to make proper arrangements.

Even so, it only means less suffering; the time spent on the journey is definitely not comparable to that at home.

After getting off the train, Lin An'an looked completely dejected.

She thought to herself sullenly that she really didn't want to take the train again unless absolutely necessary.

Lin An'an has taken a long-distance train twice, the last time being when she first came to the countryside as an educated youth.

That was also an "unforgettable" experience.

However, with Gu Qingsong with us this time, even though we had two children, it was much better than when we went to Yuanshan County before.

At that time, Lin An'an was alone and sat on a hard seat for several days in a row, her buttocks were almost flattened from sitting so long.

She didn't have much money on her, so she didn't dare spend it all on food. Lin An'an ended up eating nothing but plain steamed buns for several days in a row.

Even when resting, they dared not fall into a deep sleep, for fear that their meager belongings would be stolen, making their already impoverished lives even worse.

When they finally arrived at the advance team, Lin An'an felt like she was about to die from exhaustion again.

It took her several days to recover after being settled in the educated youth settlement.

With someone taking care of her this time, Lin An'an felt that her train journey was much better than last time, but it still made her not want to go through it again.

Fortunately, Gu Qingsong was experienced. The family didn't bring much stuff. After arriving at Haishi Station, they divided the luggage among themselves and got off the train carrying their children.

Gu Qingsong had already arranged their accommodation in Haishi: a secluded courtyard house near Haishi University.

The courtyard is located in a quiet and peaceful area, and the surrounding neighbors are all employees and their families of Shanghai University, with simple interpersonal relationships.

While they were still in Yuanshan County, brothers who had arrived in Haishi ahead of time had already helped them pack up as instructed by Gu Qingsong.

After arriving at the courtyard, Lin An'an collapsed on the stone bench and refused to move.

For a moment, let alone packing luggage, I didn't even have the energy to go inside and visit the house where I would be staying.

Gu Qingsong put the children into the fenced area that had been prepared beforehand and let them play by themselves, instructing Lin An'an to sit in the yard and look after the children.

She and Lin Jincheng cleaned the courtyard inside and out.

This small courtyard was originally where an elderly person lived alone. Some time ago, the elderly person's son was exonerated in another city and brought the elderly person to the city where he now resides.

After receiving the news, Gu Qingsong seized the opportunity and bought the small courtyard.

After Gu Qingsong bought the courtyard, it had already been roughly tidied up, and large pieces of furniture such as beds and tables had been renovated.

However, it hasn't been thoroughly cleaned and is not yet suitable for living in.

Gu Qingsong and Lin Jincheng were both very quick and efficient workers. They worked together and drew more than a dozen buckets of water from the well in the yard.

In no time at all, the house was cleaned inside and out.

Now, thanks to their hard work and careful cleaning, the once old and dilapidated courtyard has been completely transformed and is full of new life.

"Wow, this little courtyard looks really nice."

Lin An'an sat in the yard for a while to recover, and finally felt better. Looking at the clean and tidy yard, she sighed.

The courtyard is not large, and the house is L-shaped.

Upon entering the courtyard, the first thing you see is the main house's living room, with two bedrooms on either side of the living room.

To the left of the main house are two more rooms: a larger one is the bedroom, and the other is the kitchen.

There used to be a small, separate outhouse on the right side near the courtyard wall, but Gu Qingsong demolished it after buying the courtyard.

Gu Qingsong knew that his wife wasn't used to using the outhouse, and since the outhouse was separate outside the yard, it was inconvenient to use at night in winter.

Some people already have flush toilets at home, and even if you install one in your own home, it's not particularly noticeable.

While Gu Qingsong was arranging things in his hometown, he asked someone to buy toilets and installed one in each bedroom.

After the original outhouse was cleaned up, a bathroom was built near the house.

Even in winter, temperatures in the south rarely drop below zero.

Even if the bathroom is a bit small and doesn't have heating, you can still use it normally by heating more hot water when you want to.

Gu Qingsong and his gang of brothers were all native northerners. Even if they had been to the south, they had no experience living there for an extended period.

After consulting with local friends and combining my own imagination, I managed to arrange accommodations.

Anyway, we've finally settled down in Haishi.

Lin An'an's favorite spot was the well in the courtyard.

It's convenient for using water and has a rustic and beautiful design.

She tasted the water that was drawn up; it was clear, refreshing, and sweet.

As Lin An'an looked at the well, countless images flashed through her mind.

The summer heat gradually dissipates as evening approaches.

Buy a round watermelon and sink it into the well. After dinner, the whole family sits together to eat the cool and refreshing watermelon.

How comfortable that would be!

However, since there is a toddler in the family who is about to learn to walk, Gu Qingsong decided to seal the well and use it for pumping water after officially moving in.

Lin An'an was somewhat disappointed, but for the safety of the two children, she still agreed.

Gu Qingsong hugged Lin An'an and comforted her, "It's just a little ugly, but it won't affect your daily water usage."

"If you want to eat chilled watermelon, I'll go buy a deep water tank, draw up more well water, and soak the watermelon in it. It'll be just as cool, very convenient."

Lin An'an was always easily satisfied, and she became happy again after knowing that her iced watermelon was secured.

Seeing this, Gu Qingsong breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it was necessary to place a stone slab over the well for the child's safety, his wife's feelings were equally important.

Gu Qingsong thought with a relaxed expression, thankfully Lin An'an was happy again.
