Qin Yang had nearly finished tidying up outside when he heard footsteps and saw Lin Chuxia, his eyes curving into a smile, "Awake? I thought you’d sleep until noon. Seems like you’re improving."
He had not held back at all last night.
In the past, whether at ho or in the company dorms, he would consider his wife’s modesty and not make too much noise.
Now that they had their own space, they could do as they pleased.
Having had his fun, he knew his wife must be tired.
Lin Chuxia secretly rolled her eyes.
When they first got married, she admitted that she lacked stamina, but with over a year of nourishnt from the spiritual spring water and regular exercise, she was no longer the vulnerable chick she once was.
Not wanting to discuss this shaless topic with him, she bent down to move the washed dishes and bowls he had set aside into the kitchen.
"Let’s eat breakfast then go look at so furniture, we should get a cabinet for the dishes."
It’d be great if there were ready-made ones; if not, they’d have to find a carpenter to make one.
Qin Yang brought in the rest of the items, "Just moved in and already lacking so much, causing you discomfort."
"Who doesn’t go through this when living life, what discomfort?"
Lin Chuxia looked around, there was flour, eggs, potatoes, and green onions in the house.
"Have you cooked for yourself before?"
"Yeah, I cooked dinner once."
That day, he had been delayed at work, missed the company canteen’s dinner ti, so he bought so ingredients to cook for himself.
"Tell what you want to eat, and I’ll cook it for you."
Lin Chuxia raised her eyebrows; she hadn’t tasted Qin Yang’s cooking before.
"You decide, I’m not picky."
Qin Yang thought for a mont, then turned around and began to work, "It’s not that you’re not picky, you’re just afraid I won’t know how to make it. How about a potato and egg pancake? I can make that."
"Sure."
Lin Chuxia would, of course, offer unconditional support.
Thin shreds of potato, tender yellow farm eggs, finely chopped green onion, mixed and pan-fried in oil.
Soon Lin Chuxia was eating a potato pancake that was golden and crispy on the outside, tender and flavorful on the inside.
Lin Chuxia generously gave him a thumbs-up, "Your cooking skills are up to par with mine."
Despite the backhanded complint, Qin Yang still smiled contentedly, "Thank you for the praise, dear wife."
After eating, the two went to a furniture store’s showroom. The furniture selection was comprehensive, and if sothing didn’t fit, they could also custom order.
Lin Chuxia didn’t have high expectations for furniture from this era, and since they lived in the company housing complex, it wouldn’t be good to be too unconventional; just practical furniture would do.
Lin Chuxia had already planned with Qin Yang: four rooms, three connected, with the middle one as the living room, the left as a study, and the right to keep as a bedroom.
The separate room would serve as a guest room for now.
Currently, the rooms were nearly empty, with even Qin Yang’s books still packed in boxes.
Once at the showroom, Lin Chuxia imdiately bought bookcases, wardrobes, sofas, TV stands, and two desks. The bed they had was an impractical tal fra one, so they decided to buy two new beds.
The usually silent Qin Yang finally spoke up, "Let’s just get one bed."
Lin Chuxia thought it made sense; they could move their current tal fra bed to the guest room to avoid attracting too much attention and negatively impacting Qin Yang.
As soon as she thought this, she heard Qin Yang ask the salesperson, "Can we order a larger bed?"
Lin Chuxia: "..."
She was too naive.
All the double beds here are the standard size of 1.9 by 1.5 ters, but Qin Yang wants a big bed of 2 by 2.2 ters, purportedly so that if there’s a baby in the future, the three of them wouldn’t be squeezed together.
Lin Chuxia felt that Qin Yang was indeed thoughtful, after all, the baby would definitely need to sleep with the parents at the start.
However, the ntion of a baby made Lin Chuxia take a couple more glances at Qin Yang.
They had been married for over a year, and because of her career, they had been practicing contraception, and Qin Yang respected her decision.
Now that her career had stabilized temporarily, and they had ended their long-distance living, it really was about ti to have a child.
But in her previous life, she had never had children, and even though she hadn’t injured herself in this life, she still wasn’t confident regarding children.
"What’s wrong?"
Seeing her lost in thought, Qin Yang ca over and asked softly.
Lin Chuxia shook her head, "Nothing. Should we look around so more? The kitchen needs a cabinet for bowls, and we also need a dining table."
"Let’s go take a look."
The furniture here was quite comprehensive, basically having everything they wanted, and the designs were fairly modern too. What made Lin Chuxia happiest was that they even had mattresses for sale.
Although it was just a foam mattress, for Lin Chuxia, who suffered from sleeping on a hard bed last night, it was a pleasant surprise.
She imdiately bought a mattress.
In this era, there was no such thing as ho delivery service, but they could still manage to get it delivered for a fee since they had bought so much furniture.
The two of them decided not to look around further and personally supervised the loading of the furniture, then accompanied it back to the family residential compound.
Furniture didn’t co with assembly service; whatever lay in the furniture factory was loaded onto the vehicle as is, so the full load of furniture attracted quite a bit of attention as soon as it entered the residential compound.
Fortunately, there had been so staff changes in the compound recently, and several new families had moved in who knew that this was a fresh colleague arriving.
"We’re here."
Riding his motorcycle with Lin Chuxia, Qin Yang stopped at the entrance of their courtyard and greeted the workers behind them.
Lin Chuxia went to open the courtyard door. The car couldn’t enter the yard, so they had to carry the items down at the gate.
"Xiao Qin, you’re just moving in, aren’t you?"
As soon as the door lock was opened, a voice ca from the side.
A middle-aged woman in her forties, wearing an apron, looked at Lin Chuxia with a smile. The words were directed at Qin Yang.
"Is this your family mber?"
Qin Yang also saw the other party and pulled Lin Chuxia over to greet her, "Xiaxia, this is Sister-in-law Fu, our neighbor. Her husband, Brother Hu, works in the sa office as I do."
Lin Chuxia understood Qin Yang; anyone he introduced in such detail was regarded highly by him.
Being neighbors, Lin Chuxia imdiately greeted her warmly, "Sister-in-law Fu, I am Qin Yang’s wife, Lin Chuxia. It’s my first ti here, so I’ll be counting on Sister-in-law Fu’s kindness in the future."
Sister-in-law Fu imdiately burst into laughter, "What kindness to talk about? We all live together, it’s what we should do. I heard so noises in your yard yesterday and guessed sobody had arrived. Usually, it’s just Xiao Qin going back and forth, too quiet."
Although she knew she was overthinking it, Lin Chuxia still blushed at Sister-in-law Fu’s ntion of the noise. They had indeed been quite loud last night.
The delivery workers were still waiting, so there was no ti for extended pleasantries with Sister-in-law Fu, but luckily, she had the tact to go back to cooking after the greeting.
The house was empty to begin with, so placing the furniture was straightforward; they just had to put it where it belonged.
This furniture had been at the factory for so ti and had also been kept in the storefront, so there was no need to air it out.
And, furniture in this era was mostly made of solid wood with mortise and tenon joints, much healthier than the ones in later generations.
