In the previous Chapter, it was posted incorrectly, the Chapter name cannot be changed, the content is from Chapter 1072.

"We’ve eaten, everything’s fine at home, you don’t have to worry about us, just take care of yourselves."

"Xiaohe is due next month, and I’ll let you know once she gives birth."

Ji Ying chatted away with Xu Nianhua about the circumstances at home, saying, "By the way, the concrete road from the county to our house has started construction. You should thank your parents on behalf of the villagers."

Ji Ying and the others already knew the result of the paternity test, and also that Nianhua had switched to using his new name. While she and Xu Qinghe felt a bit sour, they were more happy for Nianhua, as it meant more people to love him.

"Yeah, so it should be finished soon?" Xu Nianhua was also happy, thinking that everyone always says to get rich, first build a road. Once the road is fixed, the village will definitely become better.

"Yes, the road isn’t very long—about one or two months, and it will be completed." Talking about the concrete road made Ji Ying happy, and she spoke more about the furniture factory and village matters, which made Xu Nianhua even more delighted.

After hanging up, she joyfully shared the road news.

Xu Nian’an said, "We have to thank your parents, otherwise, who knows when the village would’ve managed to build the road? When we go back during summer vacation, it’ll be wide and smooth."

"Yeah."

Xu Nianhua smiled softly as she returned to the Su Family, looking at Su Jinrong and Jiang Wanru, and expressed her thanks once again: "Dad, Mom, thank you for helping the village build the road."

"Silly Girl, you’re our daughter, what’s there to thank?" Jiang Wanru said lovingly, "Once the road is built, it’ll be convenient to go home in the future."

"Yeah." Xu Nianhua’s little face was flushed from joy, her bright eyes shining, like stars in the sky.

"Nianhua, take a look at these house design plans and let us know if there’s anything you want to change." Su Jinrong took out the design plans, not only Xu Nianhua was there, but Su Lie and his family were there too.

Su Hong’en was already attending school normally. Apart from being a bit quiet, he appeared much like a normal child, without much difference.

Therefore, Su Lie and his family now stayed at the Su Family house, rather than living in the sanatorium as they did before.

"Is this the house that’s planned to be built in the village?" Xu Nianhua looked at the blueprint, speechless. She thought her family’s house was spacious enough, but looking at the Su Family’s house, she felt the Xu Family’s house was quite small in comparison.

"That’s right, I’m thinking of building two stories, spacious enough so that your older brothers can have their own space when they visit."

Su Jinrong’s idea was endorsed by Su Lie, who said, "Dad, two stories seem a bit short, why don’t we go for a few more floors?"

Su Jinrong gave him a glance and said, "This is a village; do you want to build so uniquely just to flaunt your wealth?"

Su Lie touched his nose, saying, "But this house is already big!"

"Dad, Brother Lie, I think a standalone courtyard could work. The rooms don’t need to be too big; if they’re too large, they’ll feel empty. Our family isn’t that large, and with the courtyard connected, it’s still one family." Xu Nianhua, after looking at the design draft, felt that if such a house were built in the village, it would definitely stand out.

However, a standalone courtyard wouldn’t stand out. In the village, while not every household has rebuilt, many have compared to before, and there will certainly be more in the future. By then, if they build a series of standalone courtyards, it wouldn’t be as conspicuous.
