Chapter 16: A New Home
The atmosphere at the dinner table became lively again, Doctor Song took out the wine and poured three glasses, Tang Jianguo and Little Doctor Song had their share, Chu Sheng and Lin Xi could only take a look. Chu Sheng and Lin Xi each poured a glass of water, and everyone raised their glasses to celebrate Chu Sheng's departure from the Chu family. After drinking, Tang Jianguo took care of Chu Sheng: "You will follow Lin Zhiqing in the future, be well-behaved, help with the things at home, don't be naughty, remember Lin Zhiqing's kindness, understand?" Chu Sheng stood up, bowed respectfully to Tang Zhishu, and said, "Uncle, don't worry, I remember my sister's affection, and thank you Uncle for helping me." I have all this in mind, and when I grow up, I will definitely repay everyone. After speaking, he bowed to Dr. Song and Dr. Xiao Song.
Seeing Chu Sheng's solemn and sincere expression, everyone felt comforted. On the way Chu Sheng sent Lin Xi home, Lin Xi said: "Chu Sheng, sister doesn't need you to repay you, sister only hopes that you can live a good life, understand?" "Well, sister, I remember." Chu Sheng took Lin Xi's hand, his tone was full of excitement, and said, "Sister, I'm so happy, we will be a family in the future." ”
Lin Xi was also very happy, she had thrown the unhappiness between Wang Xiaozhen and Han Meifang before. Liu Xia explained to her that Wang Xiaozhen's clothes were dried outside today, and when she collected her clothes at night, she found that there was bird feces on her clothes, and there was more than one piece of bird feces on her clothes, which made Wang Xiaozhen lose her temper. Unlucky is also Han Meifang, her clothes are also dirty, and she is still washing clothes by the well at this time. Lin Xi smiled unkindly.
Two days later, a piece of news exploded in Castle Peak Village. The newcomer Lin Zhiqing adopted Chu Sheng, and Lin Xi took Chu Sheng to sign the documents with the Chu family in the village committee. The signatures of the Tang branch secretary and Doctor Song, and the paintings of several village elders as witnesses, proving that Chu Sheng and the Chu family had no relationship from now on, and Lin Xi took out ten yuan to compensate Chu Dagen. It was also agreed in the document that the parties could not repudiate themselves.
When the Chu family went home happily with ten yuan, behind them was the gossip and pointing of the villagers.
Hearing the news, the youth point also made trouble, and Wang Xiaozhen was the first to jump out. "Lin Xi, is there something wrong with you, you adopted Chu Sheng, where do you plan to let him live? Don't get me wrong. ”
Lin Xi ignored Wang Xiaozhen's roar, and looked at the educated youth who surrounded her, most of them were confused in their eyes, and there were no complaints and accusations, Lin Xi felt that everyone was still kind, and explained to everyone: "Chu Sheng will not live here, and it will not affect everyone's life, everything is as usual in the educated youth." After all, adopting Chu Sheng is my own business, everyone can rest assured. ”
Since Lin Xi gave everyone a guarantee, the educated youths have nothing to say, just like Lin Xi said, this matter is her own business. Liu Xia was a little uneasy, pulled Lin Xi and said: "Lin Xi, you can figure it out, let me tell you, working here, that is, you can fill your stomach, you still have to raise a child, the food is not enough to eat, do you plan it, don't be impulsive." ”
Lin Xi comforted Liu Xia: "Don't worry, I've arranged everything." Looking at Lin Xi's determined smile, Liu Xia could only guess that her family gave her a subsidy, otherwise she would definitely go hungry if she relied on centimeters.
Wang Xiaozhen and Yu Linlin relied on Han Meifang tightly, forming a small group, the three of them ignored Lin Xi's love more and more, Lin Xi didn't care, she was waiting for the news of the Tang branch secretary. Tang Zhishu did not disappoint her, he found a family in the village, the son of that family went to be a soldier, and at the beginning of this year, he took his wife and children to join the army, and the house was vacant.
When Lin Xi saw the small courtyard, he fell in love with it at a glance. The house is located at the foot of Shuangping Mountain, with four rooms and a large yard outside, which is cleaned up. There is still a vegetable patch in the yard where vegetables are grown. Sister-in-law Qian pointed to the house and introduced it to Lin Xi: "This house was built when my son got married, but it was just renovated a few years ago, and I saw that this house was expanded at that time. ”
Entering the courtyard, Lin Xi took a closer look at the house, the house was seventy percent new, the walls were painted white, and the house looked bright. Lin Xi liked it in his heart, and asked: "The house is good, I like it too, so how much do you plan to rent?" Sister-in-law Qian glanced at Tang Jianguo, and Tang Jianguo urged her: "Lin Zhiqing is a refreshing person, you can tell me a price." Sister-in-law Qian held up a finger and a dollar. The price is not low, although the house is good, but it is a rural house, and it is not valuable. And this price is a bit more expensive for Lin Xi.
Sister-in-law Qian saw that Lin Xi was silent, and hurriedly added: "And these furniture are also for you, and the vegetable patch outside the yard is also for you, how about it?" Tang Jianguo glanced at Sister-in-law Qian and said: "This child is not easy, and now he is still living with Chu Sheng, and he is not rich, so you can give in a little more, okay?" Lin Xi also answered: "I really like the house, but the price is a little more expensive." You let me do it, I'll add a little more, it's okay!" With the intercession of the Tang branch secretary, the rent of eight cents and five cents a month was finally set.
After renting the house, Lin Xi went back directly to pack his luggage. She talked to Liu Xia and Fang Chuanzhi for a while, and said that she was going to move. Liu Xia sighed, renting a house costs money, so Lin Xi's expenses have increased again. Fang Chuanzhi could see it clearly, and felt that Lin Xi had made the right decision, and in order to show his support, he helped Lin Xi move things together.
With the help of Liu Xia and Fang Chuanzhi, Lin Xi moved into his new home in half a day. Chu Sheng was already waiting at the door with a small package. Seeing Lin Xi, the child's face was full of joy, and he pulled Lin Xi and kept saying, "Sister, is this our home?
Lin Xi opened the courtyard door and instructed him to help get things, Sister-in-law Qian was good, and she also lit a stove, Lin Xi wanted to boil water for everyone to drink, Liu Xia and Fang Chuanzhi both declined, asked Lin Xi to clean up his things, and left after speaking.
Chu Sheng and Lin Xi were left in the house, Chu Sheng excitedly ran to each room to take a look, pulled Lin Xi and asked, "Sister, which room do I live in?" Lin Xi asked him to pick at will. In fact, there are two bedrooms, a kitchen, a barn, and a latrine in the corner of the yard.
Chu Sheng left the east one to Lin Xi, and he lived in the middle one. After assigning the room, Lin Xi sorted out his things, and Chu Sheng went to boil water. Lin Xi still has two and a half bags of grain left, and it is estimated that he will not be able to eat it for too long. However, she is not worried, there is food for sale in the system mall, but the price is a little expensive. At this time, there was a beautiful sound of music in Lin Xi's ears, and after the music ended, the sound of the system sounded. "Congratulations, complete the stage task - get Chu Sheng's favor, the completion rate is 100%, get 200 system reward coins, give a random lottery, open all goods in the system mall, the system will be updated soon, please later. ”
After a slow update, the system's voice sounded again: "The update has been completed, and a new task has been started - to raise Chu Sheng to adulthood." This is a stage mission, and for every 10% of completion, you can get a system reward, please choose to accept the mission. Miss Lin Xi, please work hard, there are more rich prizes waiting for you. ”
Lin Xi frowned, after this update, the system gave her a strange feeling. But what the hell was the problem, she didn't figure out. Pressing the accept button, she remembered that she could still draw a lottery. The system displayed a lottery page on the interface, and there were six rotating boxes on the page, Lin Xi was dizzy, and clicked on one casually, and then she saw a book, which was still not too thick. Lin Xi: ......
Lin Xi was very disappointed, Lin Xi was very angry, she wanted something practical, pots and pans, she lacked this now. The result is a book, this system of slamming the door.
The system received Lin Xi's anger and explained: "Congratulations, you have drawn cooking, and the system will help you learn this skill." This book is a cookbook where you can learn how to cook many dishes and improve your cooking skills. Lin Xi just wanted to roll his eyes after hearing this: "There is a saying that it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, where did I get the money to buy materials, can I learn this by reading a book?" The system continued: "Please control your emotions, the ingredients on the recipe are provided by the system for free." The anger in Lin Xi's heart was instantly extinguished, and it dissipated into a wisp of green smoke. "It's free!"
The system secretly despised Lin Xi, and when he heard that it was free, he smiled like a flower on his face, which was really shallow. Lin Xi's little abacus crackled in her heart, which meant that as long as the dishes she cooked were in the recipe, she could eat without spending money, which was great, and it could save her a lot of money. With confidence, Lin Xi saw the fully open system mall, and unceremoniously bought and bought.
If there is an earthen stove in the kitchen, if there are no pots and pans, then buy it; if the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are not complete, then buy it; if Chu Sheng does not have a quilt or mattress to sleep on, then buy it; after buying and buying water tanks, hot water bottles, and washbasins, Lin Xi's gold coins quickly dropped to 100 gold coins.
Lin Xi entered Chu Sheng's room, helped him make the bed, prepared towels and basins, and when Chu Sheng entered the house, the room was already arranged. Chu Sheng said in surprise: "Sister, you prepared all these things for me? Thank you, sister, thank you, sister, you are really good." "The way a child is happy is to roll on the quilt.
Lin Xi dragged him down and complained: "Look at it, the clean quilt is going to be dirty, and you can only go to bed after changing your pajamas." "Pajamas, what's that?" "Pajamas are the clothes you wear when you sleep. Lin Xi explained to him.
Chu Sheng didn't care: "Sister, I don't wear clothes when I sleep, just have pants." Lin Xi: "......." ”
Lin Xi felt that he had to instill in him some necessary common sense of life, such as brushing his teeth and washing his face every day, changing into clean clothes when he slept, drilling quilts without wearing coats, and not eating on the kang when eating. Chu Sheng looked stunned when he heard this, and said weakly: "Sister, I don't have pajamas either!" Lin Xi went back to the room and bought a set of pajamas directly from the system.
Chu Sheng looked at the light blue pajamas, the fabric of the pajamas was particularly soft, and it was very comfortable to the touch. Lin Xi took special care of him: "This set of clothes is not allowed to be worn out of the house, and after changing it every day, it must be folded and placed next to the pillow." Chu Sheng obediently agreed. Lin Xi also specially told him: "In the future, this will be our home, and we are not allowed to talk about things at home, such as what we have eaten, what we have at home, etc., and we are not allowed to tell others." Chu Sheng blinked his eyes and agreed. After arranging everything, Lin Xi was happy and planned to try the new recipe.
