For the rest of the time, Gu Qichen began to repair the roof of the sheepfold.
Xia Yangyang had no real way to help, her aid was limited to steadying the ladder and handing him tools.
However, Xia Yangyang never expected Gu Qichen to repair the roof so expertly.
In less than half a day, the entire sheepfold roof looked brand new.
When Gu Qichen came down, astonishingly, he remained neat and clean, and didn’t look as if he had been doing heavy work at all.
Xia Yangyang looked at Gu Qichen with a worshipful gaze, “Husband, is there anything you can’t do in this world? Even the roof you can repair.”
Gu Qichen gave a light smile, “Now you know how perfect your husband is, don’t you?”
This man cannot be complimented, once praised, he becomes self-absorbed.
However, Xia Yangyang surprisingly found Gu Qichen’s narcissism extremely charming.
Nevertheless, it had been hard work for half a day.
Gu Qichen, being such a clean person, would undoubtedly want to take a bath.
But if they had to heat water, it would take a long time.
Moreover, Gu Qichen undoubtedly wouldn’t be used to using that kind of bath basin.
Xia Yangyang thought for a moment and suddenly said, “Go to Uncle Han’s house to borrow his bathroom, their house has a water heater. When I stayed here before, I occasionally used their bathroom.”
Gu Qichen frowned slightly, “That doesn’t seem quite right.”
However, Xia Yangyang quickly went inside to get Gu Qichen’s clothes.
Xia Yangyang said, “There’s nothing wrong with it, my Grandma has a very good relationship with Uncle Han’s family. They’ve been close neighbours for decades, like a big family. When I used to come back in the past, I often went to their house for meals.”
Gu Qichen felt that he absolutely needed to take a bath.
He really couldn’t stand the smell of sheep on himself.
Thus, he didn’t object.
The Han residence wasn’t far from their home, a brief three-five minute walk.
However, the Han residence was a two-storey western-style building, quite the best house in the entire village.
As they walked, Xia Yangyang explained to Gu Qichen, “This house was rebuilt by Sister Xiaomei. She’s Uncle Han’s daughter, exceptionally successful, a returned overseas student working in a foreign company now. She’s stunningly beautiful, the pride of the whole village. But she rarely comes back since she settled in Shanghai.”
As soon as Xia Yangyang and Gu Qichen stepped into the Han residence, they saw Uncle Han, Han Dashan, in the yard cracking winter dates.
Uncle Han’s wife, Miao Shuhui, was sitting on a little stool at the entrance, picking vegetables.
Miao Shuhui saw Xia Yangyang first and quickly walked over happily, “Isn’t this Yangyang? When did you come back?”
Xia Yangyang went over and handed over some gifts she was carrying, “Thanks so much to Uncle Han and Auntie for taking good care of Grandma. Here’s some tea for Uncle Han.”
Miao Shuhui said, “You child, why do you bring back so many things every time? Your grandma raised us up as if we were her own children. When we were younger, your grandma fed us many meals when our family was poor. It’s only right for us to treat your grandma well. You take your things back, I can’t accept them.”
Xia Yangyang gently hooked her arm through Miao Shuhui’s, “I’ll know better next time. This time I only brought them because someone gave them to my dad, and since you know he doesn’t drink tea, I brought it back for Uncle Han.”
Miao Shuhui pretended to be cross while her face was filled with smiles.
At that moment, Miao Shuhui noticed Gu Qichen standing nearby and asked curiously, “And who is this?”
Xia Yangyang quickly introduced him, “This is my husband Gu Qichen.”
Miao Shuhui was extremely surprised, “Yangyang, you’re married?”
Xia Yangyang nodded, “Yes, but we haven’t held a wedding ceremony yet. When we do, you and Uncle Han must come.”
“Of course, of course. We’ll definitely come,” Miao Shuhui replied.
Miao Shuhui pulled Xia Yangyang and Gu Qichen into the house, “Come inside quickly. Stay for dinner tonight. Your sister Xiaomei is back today and Uncle Han has bought a lot of seafood; we’re preparing a seafood feast for tonight..”
