Chapter 468 Before Leaving
It must be said that sleeping on this sidecar is really uncomfortable. Han Li woke up today without waiting for the biological clock to remind him. He rubbed his numb and sore legs and waist, shook his neck and jumped out.
Since he couldn't sleep, he started a new day. Han Li simply pulled the fist frame and then went into the basement.
Next, expand the wall a little further outward, add a limestone space, and there is a layer of stone outside the limestone, which should be able to minimize the humidity in the room.
Then use stones, mud, and wooden boards to make a bed and a very small table, and finally move the two small water tanks in.
Finally, Han Li looked at the two basements in front of him, one large and one small, and when he felt that there was nothing missing, he came up and started to repair the house.
But at this time, Yun Dad and the others had all woken up, because it was time for all the livestock here to be fed, and if no one fed them, they would keep calling.
Yun Yingying saw Han Li getting up so early to work, and there were a lot of things in the house and the yard, so she hurried forward and said very distressedly.
"Brother Li, you brought back so many things last night, and I don't know what time you went to bed. Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
"I didn't work that late yesterday, and I'm not sleepy. By the way, the house is finished. You can take your uncle and aunt in to have a look. If there are any other places that need to be changed, it's not too late now."
"You said it's not too late. The house is finished. You didn't stay up all night."
"How is that possible? I slept well last night."
When the two of them got together to talk, Yun's father and mother looked at the pile of supplies with complicated expressions. It would be a lie to say that they were not moved.
They really didn't expect Han Li to prepare so many things overnight, from cooking pots to eating bowls, chopsticks and spoons, several animal skins to keep warm at night, white flour, cornmeal, soybeans, peanuts, bacon, salted fish, lard and various nuts.
And the basement that was dug and built. This child took all their food and shelter into consideration. If they couldn't wear new clothes, I'm afraid he would have prepared clothes too.
With a basement, they won't shiver in a leaky house. With animal skins, they can sleep comfortably. With sufficient food, they won't be hungry anymore, and they can bear the heavy labor in the future.
Such a son-in-law, let alone when they are so poor, even if they are still in the past, they may not be able to find such a caring person.
Moreover, the couple have seen too many people who cut off their relationship with their parents and friends in order to protect themselves.
If Han Li is a little more selfish, no one would say he is wrong even if he doesn't come to avoid suspicion.
But Han Li not only came, but also spent so much effort to prepare all this for the couple, which makes Han Li more reliable and precious. He is definitely a person worth entrusting.
Dad Yun has a lot of thoughts in his mind. He knows in his heart that if Han Li didn't really like his daughter, he wouldn't have to do so many things for the two of them.
Moreover, Dad Yun also knew how precious and hard to obtain these materials. He thought in his heart that Han Li had been busy for the couple from the beginning. Such a son-in-law could be said to be hard to find. At this time, the original indifference in his heart about Han Li kidnapping his daughter completely disappeared.
Mom Yun's thoughts were similar to Dad Yun's. She had been entangled in her heart from the beginning, but now she had completely let go of the knot.
The couple was now in a difficult situation and could not provide any help to their two daughters.
It was really good to have someone like Han Li who treated them sincerely, which made the couple feel less worried.
And whether it was from the description of his daughter or the pile of materials that Han Li had found in a strange place, he was definitely a capable person. If he didn't go the wrong way in the future, his own achievements would definitely not be low.
The key point was that Mom Yun had seen too many gossip events over the years. The more capable people were, the more such things would happen to them. Take her husband for example, he was not an honest man before.
The two sisters were united in mind and could tie Han Li firmly to their side, making the family more harmonious.
As for public opinion? The couple has reached this point now. What use are those public opinions to them?
The most important thing is that as long as they don't say it, outsiders will not know it at all. If I am not their mother and I am very familiar with my daughters, I can't notice the difference.
Besides, there is an old saying in Sijiu City that the sister-in-law is half the butt of the brother-in-law. This has been around since ancient times. Even if we know about this kind of thing, everyone will turn a blind eye.
Yun Ma sorted out the situation twice, made her own psychological adjustments, stood up and came to Han Li and others, and said softly and caringly.
"Han Li, if we knew you were going to get these things last night, we would never let you go out. It's too risky. What if something unexpected happens on the way? Don't be so reckless in the future."
"Don't worry, auntie. I promise I won't be so reckless in the future."
Even though Yun Ma did a good job of self-adjustment, her eyes were still complicated when she looked at Han Li at this moment. She wanted to say something several times, but she swallowed it back in the end.
He kept repeating in his heart that if he was not stupid or deaf, he would not be a father-in-law. Children would have their own blessings. He could not definitely bring this up. Otherwise, he did not know how far things would develop. He would just pretend that he had not discovered anything. At this time, Yun Yingying pulled Yun's mother's arm and said.
"Mom, Brother Li has already finished the room. Let's go over and take a look. If there is anything inappropriate, we can change it."
"Let's take a look later. Now we can feed the animals quickly so that we can eat early. Han Li has been busy all night. Let him eat something and rest for a while."
Han Li was not in a hurry to clean up the house at this time. He went outside with Yun's mother and others to cut grass and cook porridge to feed the animals.
After doing all this, Yun Jingjing still cooked breakfast. The others went to the basement for a walk and then came out very satisfied. In their situation, they were very satisfied to have a stable environment. They did not dare to ask for more.
Everyone still ate breakfast around the stone mill, but today, whether it was father Yun, mother Yun or the two sisters, their expressions were much better, and there were more relaxed smiles on their faces.
After breakfast, they all advised Han Li to rest for a while, but Han Li shook his head and said he was fine.
Then they started a new round of busyness. Han Li mixed the soil for the basement with water to make mud. Father Yun helped him by the side, slapping the mud on the inner wall of this broken house. This does not require a smooth and beautiful appearance, nor can it be smooth and beautiful, just plug the gaps and holes on the wall.
Yun Jingjing was outside making black fish soup and snow clam for the old couple, and cleaned out the other fish that Han Li brought back last night. The big ones were cut into small pieces, and finally a thick layer of salt was applied on them to extend their shelf life as much as possible.
Yun Yingying and mother Yun were sewing the animal skins according to the conditions of the basement bed so that they could play their role to the maximum extent.
After Han Li blocked the hole in the wall, he started to repair the doors and windows.
These doors and windows also do not need to be beautiful, but only practical, strong and safe.
Dad Yun was stunned when he saw Han Li holding an axe in one hand and holding a tree trunk in the other, and splitting a similar wooden board in a few strokes.
How much strength and accurate eyesight does it take to achieve this level? At the same time, he now knows where the wooden board on the bed in the basement came from.
Han Li fixed these split wooden boards or thinner tree trunks together to make two windows, and finally fixed them on the inside of the original window frame. As long as the inside is fixed with a wooden stick, outsiders want to come in from here unless they demolish the wall or smash the window.
However, these two windows are very ugly. Not only do they leak air, but almost no light can penetrate after closing them. However, these are nothing in front of safety and practicality.
Han Li also handled the door in the same way, but there is a thick door rod inside the door, and the main feature is safety and strength.
At this time, Han Li and Yun's father cleared all the remaining soil in the house, and put the original bed-like thing back to its original position, and put hay on it, and the fire pit in the house was the same.
These are placed outside to hide from others, otherwise someone will feel uncomfortable if they see that you are not living a hard life, which will cause some unnecessary trouble.
Yun's father finally tried it himself and was very satisfied. With such doors and windows, their safety and privacy are guaranteed.
Even if someone suddenly comes to find them when they are sleeping in the basement, it's okay. Those outsiders can't enter the house directly, so they have enough time to come out of the basement and do a good job of covering up in the house.
After doing all this, it was time for dinner. Yun Jingjing made black fish soup, mushroom fried bacon, potato stewed bacon, and braised grass carp. As for the snow clam, she had already force-fed it to Yun's mother.
During the meal, everyone was discussing what to do next, but after talking for a long time, it seemed that there was nothing to do. The atmosphere on the scene suddenly became depressed, because having nothing to do meant that it was time to say goodbye. Han Li saw this and quickly comforted them.
"Don't be so unhappy. Anyway, there is nothing important for us to do when we return to Sijiu City. It's better to stay here with uncle and aunt for a few more days. When it gets later, I will go to Captain Hao's house to explain the situation."
Han Li said this and the sisters immediately became happy, but Dad Yun said helplessly.
"We also hope that you can stay a little longer, but it's not appropriate to do so. One is that even if Captain Hao doesn't say anything if you stay for too long, the villagers here won't think so.
The other is that your vehicle is borrowed from Old Liu. Although he said that it's okay to ride for as long as you want, you have to know your limits. Staying too long will give people a very bad impression, so if you have nothing to do, you'd better go back as soon as possible."
Han Li narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard what Yun's father said before. At this time, Yun's mother held her daughter in one hand and said with reluctance.
"Your father and I are also reluctant to let you leave, but your father is right. Besides, it's not like we can't meet in the future."
