But since the current generation wasn’t as strict as restricting beliefs, the members started to abide by them little by little.
Old Man Lin was very attentive as he went back to his village to find someone to check the calendar. He also specifically told eldest brother Lin to come over and tell Lin Lan.
Lin Lan was a modern soul, so she truly couldn’t care less about this, “Eldest brother, it’s better to go with the flow. If we put up the beams earlier, we can move in earlier as well.”
“Is that something that can be handled this simply? Our father said that if we don’t know about it, it’s fine; but if we know about it, we should follow the rules. You should listen to our father. You don’t remember but when you were a child, his second uncle was building his house. Father checked the dates and told him it wouldn’t work, but he wouldn’t listen. In the end, his second uncle fell off the beam and broke his waist. He is still paralyzed on the kang up till this day.”
Lin Lan, “Is it really that serious?”
Things that were originally irrelevant to her suddenly seemed very severe when her eldest brother said it. If things worked out even if she didn’t care, it would be fine; but if something happened, she could only wish that she had taken his advice.
She could only say, “Okay.”
She asked her eldest brother to talk to Han Qingsong, but he refused, “Tell that to brother-in-law.”
He didn’t know if Director Han believed this sort of thing. If he didn’t believe in it, it would be rather embarrassing to try and persuade him. Hence, it would be better if the husband and wife pair talk it out themselves.
In the evening, while waiting for his work at the construction site to end, Lin Lan also finished preparing the meals. She personally went to call Han Qingsong and the children to have dinner.
After dinner, the children ran to their new home with the radio, saying that they would visit the house to avoid having their bricks and tiles stolen.
As soon as the children left, the lively room instantly became quiet, filled with only the sounds of Han Qingsong eating.
He handed her a bowl and motioned for Lin Lan to help him pour some water.
The water jug was by Lin Lan’s hand.
Lin Lan touched his hand when she was picking up the bowl as she hurriedly brought it over. She was a little afraid of Han Qingsong these past two days and almost didn’t dare to be alone with him. She always felt that the way he looked at her was rather aggressive and oppressive.
Especially at night, when the children were asleep and he hadn’t gotten on the kang, there was a brief moment where she thought he would forcefully get into her bed.
Fortunately, he didn’t. Of course, she might be thinking too much.
When she couldn’t fall asleep, she even searched for the memory of the original owner’s married life, but unfortunately there was nothing much to learn from.
For example, it took less than five days from knowing each other to getting married. They met at the wedding ceremony and then went to bed at night.
At that time, she was young and he was reckless, so it was really not pleasant. If she were to talk about the memory of that night, it would just be summarized in three keywords— pain, huge and scared.
In just two nights, he returned to the army. Somehow, she still managed to get pregnant.
When they met afterwards, there were still not many good experiences either. He came and went in a hurry, either staying for one night or just 3 to 5 days.
During the day, there was always a large family around them, so the two of them didn’t have much time to talk.
