Guihua shook her head dismissively.
Liu Sisi smiled, hiding her lips, having no particular feelings toward Ms. Xin. It was just her overpowering perfume that Liu Sisi found especially hard to bear.
It would be best to keep her distance in the future, she thought. She really could not stand that scent.
Outside, Liu Zhi’er and Guihua were still engrossed in conversation, their chatter accompanied by the sound of daubing shoe polish, the audible reading from Xuan’er in the hall, Zhang Yun’s querulous rebuttals, and the playful clamor of YingEr and Da Mao playing around the house, the squeals of the chickens, and the gentle admonishments of their father…
All these different sounds mingling together made Liu Sisi feel particularly at peace, feeling enveloped in a cocoon of warmth, and involuntarily slipping into dreamland.
It was almost dark in the afternoon when Di Yelei returned home, his face glowing with unrestrained joy. The moment he reached the yard, he dismounted from his jujube red horse and began calling loudly out towards the house.
“Sisi! Sisi, it worked! It all worked out! ”
With his spirits high, he dashed into the house, his joyous expression met by Guihua and the others who had come to see what the commotion was. He scratched the back of his head sheepishly, his face beaming.
” Sister Guihua is here too? I was just saying I wanted to stop by your house later. ”
Naturally, Guihua had heard his previous shout and hurriedly asked, “Brother
Ye Lei, you’re back. How did things go? Was the land purchase process smooth?
Why didn ‘t Zhang Peng come back with you?”
“Brother Zhang has already gone back, we parted ways at the village entrance. Sister Guihua, why don ‘t you have dinner at our house tonight? Ye Lei already mentioned it to Zhang Peng, we’re going to have a gathering tonight to celebrate the double joy! ”
Di Yelei was laughing so hard he couldn’t close his mouth.
“Brother Ye Lei! You look so cheerful, like one does when they receive joyful news! Sisi is still inside. You better go and accompany her. ”
As she spoke, Guihua began laughing with the others by her side.
Di Yelei’s face was reddened by the laughter of the crowd, even his bronzecolored skin couldn ‘t hide the blush.
He coughed lightly, “Yes! Sisi doesn’t know about the good news yet. I’ll go tell her. ” As he snoke. he onened the curtain and went into the house.
“Hmph! There’s no way Sisi didn’t hear such a loud noise. Can ‘t you think of a better excuse?”
Guihua ‘s teasing made everyone laugh even more heartily.
Blushing, Di Yelei entered the house. When he lifted the grass curtain, he saw that Sisi had already gotten up. She was sitting on the bed, looking somewhat uncertain. Seeing him come in, she looked at him with a beaming smile.
“How did it go? What’s the result?” Liu Sisi was eager to know too.
“It’s done!”
Di Ye Lei was so ecstatic that as he spoke, he pulled a cloth bag he had been carrying close to him from his bosom, “Didn’t I already tell you about my colleagues yesterday? Everyone was joking about coming with me. I thought they were just kidding. But to my surprise, they really came today. They instantly verified the authenticity of the house and land contracts on the spot, measured the land and set the boundaries. Lord County Magistrate said he was going to ‘seal’ it soon, so it would be better to arrange things sooner rather than later. So we got it stamped today. Then my colleagues and I celebrated together, insisting that I treat them… ”
His face was wreathed in smiles, his excitement evident. Clearly, he was delighted, elated!
It’s actually quite natural, people throughout history have been eager to buy land. Even here, be it for marrying a wife or giving away a daughter, the most substantial asset and dowry was land. From this, one could see the importance of land in people’s minds.
He took out a neatly folded piece of paper from the opened cloth bag and unfolded it to show to Liu Sisi.
Liu Sisi took it and carefully checked the official seal on it, as well as the private seals of the buyer and seller, and the detailed descriptions of the house and land contracts. Once she had confirmed that everything was correct, her brows relaxed into a smile.
“We should celebrate this with a meal! Brother Nan and I just opened a new wine-house in the county, it’s barely been open for long and doesn’t have many customers. Since we’re planning a celebration, why don ‘t we invite everyone here? It could serve as free advertising for the wine-house. ”
Liu Sisi was thinking ahead, no matter where you are, having the backing of the government would ensure that business continues to flourish.
If the Lord County Magistrate and his constables frequented this new wine house, it would naturally attract countless customers. With that, wouldn ‘t the business prosper?
Di Yelei was confused for a moment: “What… advertisement?”
“Oh, I mean… promotion. I’m talking about promoting and marketing. ”
Liu Sisi quickly changed the topic: “What should we do with this house and land contract? Where should we keep it?”
“Silly girl! Naturally, you should keep it! When our child is born, whether it’s a boy or a girl, we have to leave something for them.” Di Yelei affectionately hugged her waist and couldn ‘t help but gently rub her belly.
“Little Treasure, daddy’s back, be good. ”
This place was already nurturing a new life, a child of him and her! Thinking about it, he felt energized, believing his hard work was well worth it!
“Oh? Are you really giving this property to the child in my stomach?” Liu Sisi raised an eyebrow in surprise, waving the contract in her hand: “You best make sure you understand, once you give me this land, it’ll be mine. How I handle it in the future is my business. You don’t get a say!”
“You! When have I ever broken a promise?”
Unable to resist, he gently flicked her small nose. Watching her frown and dodge away from him, he laughed triumphantly, then pulled her back into his arms.
“Besides, most of the money for this land was earned by you. Giving you control of it is the right thing to do. Why would I intervene?”
Liu Sisi wrinkled her small nose: “That’s not necessarily true! Even if you have nothing to say, what about other people? The world is unpredictable, who knows what the future holds. ”
“Rest assured! When I Di Yelei give my word, it’s as good as gold! ” Holding the fragrant woman in his arms, his hand gently rubbed her belly: “This little guy really is a blessing. He just arrived and we’ve already added this large tract of land to our assets. It’s truly a double blessing. I’m thinking tonight we should invite Zhang Peng’ s family over for a get-together, so we can all celebrate. ” Exactly!
It seems ever since she found out she was pregnant, they’ve added this new land to their property.
Liu Sisi also gently touched her still flat stomach, now she was feeling particularly eager for this new life to arrive.
“Just inviting Zhang Peng’s family might not be appropriate. Since you ‘re inviting, you may as well invite the Land Officer and the Land Officer’s wife as well, there aren ‘t many people in the Land Officer’s home anyway. Also, your mom and your brothers… I guess we should invite them all. “
