"Thank you, Grandma." Lin Wan gratefully smiled at Grandma. She knew that just like in the past life, Grandma was still so understanding, never looking down on their family for coming from the countryside.
"You haven’t eaten yet, have you? Grandma will go and cook for you now."
"Grandma, let me help you." As Lin Wan spoke, she followed Grandma to the kitchen. After walking a few steps, Grandma gently pushed her, feeling even more satisfied with Lin Wan. "The food will be ready soon. Let Xiao Yi show you around the house. Whatever you need, tell Xiao Yi, and you can add as needed." Our house. These three words made Lin Wan blush with embarrassment.
"I’ll take you to my room." At this moment, Han Yi, who was beside her, took Lin Wan’s hand and led her to the room.
Lin Wan felt awkward. She nodded randomly, blushing, as she followed Han Yi to the room.
Han Yi’s room is in the west wing of the main house. The room isn’t very big. There’s a bed with blue and white striped sheets, and the quilt is folded squarely, just like the military style. He truly brought the military habits home. On the desk beside the bed, there are many books, all about military topics. There’s a square chair, and by the wall is a two-door wardrobe. Other than that, the room is spotless without any unnecessary items.
Suddenly entering the room, both felt awkward. Although it was his own room, Han Yi stood inside, unsure whether to sit or not. Conversely, Lin Wan seemed much more relaxed than him.
"After joining the army, Grandma has been cleaning the room. It hasn’t changed much since my high school days. See if there’s anything else you need, and we’ll add more then."
"Hmm." Lin Wan responded softly, sitting on the edge of the bed and looking around, "Everything in the room seems complete, nothing else needed. Han Yi, can we please keep the fact that we’ve registered from my mom for now?"
"Alright, I’ll try to talk to Auntie tonight," Han Yi answered, turned, and opened the wardrobe beside him. He rummaged through, handing a red booklet to Lin Wan, "This is my bankbook. Aside from my monthly expenses, everything else is here. You take it, buy whatever you like. There’s no need to buy household items yet, as there isn’t much lacking. When you join me in the army next year, we’ll furnish the new home then."
Lin Wan didn’t take the bankbook, looking up at Han Yi and shaking her head, "I have my own money."
In the past life, Han Yi also handed the bankbook to Lin Wan. The money was accumulated by Han Yi from when he started military service, saved bit by bit. Later, after meeting Li Liang, most of it was spent on Li Liang.
"You take the bankbook. I seldom use money while in the military," Han Yi said decisively, placing the bankbook in her hand. "The password is my birthday." He noted a string of numbers on paper from the desk for Lin Wan. "Use this money for household needs, keep your own money as private savings. I’m sorry for the rush in getting the marriage certificate. Regarding the wedding, once I’m back on leave next time, I’ll make sure we have a proper ceremony. Please share if you have any opinions."
He felt guilty. Honestly, they hadn’t met many times, and it was abrupt to propose marriage suddenly after one meeting, not fully considering everything, although he could sense Lin Wan’s affection for him.
Seeing him speak this way, Lin Wan accepted the bankbook with ease, opened it for a look, and found two thousand two hundred yuan inside.
It was the same amount from the past life. Lin Wan remembered seeing this number and her heart almost leaping out. She was used to living frugally, doing odd jobs and tutoring, earning only ten yuan a month and being thrilled by it, never imagining getting married would bring so much, she had never thought about it in this lifetime.
