Chapter Seventy-Eight: Proper Arrangement
Li Yuqing arranged for the things they brought over and Chen Dazhuang and they returned, and they were very puzzled when they saw Old Man Chen and Cai standing at the door of the house wiping their tears, frowning and asking Li Yuxin who was standing aside, "What's wrong with Xin'er's grandparents and grandmothers?"
Li Yuxin didn't know how to answer for a while, because she didn't know either.
Li Yuqing saw that Li Yuxin couldn't tell why, so she turned her face and asked the old man Chen and his wife, who were still wiping their tears, "Grandpa, what's wrong with grandma, why did you shed tears." ”
"Yuqing, we are happy, look at this big yard inside and out, we never dreamed in our lives, we will be able to live in it one day. Old man Chen patted the Cai family beside him, silently comforting.
"Look at what you said, we will be a family from now on. I'm going to have my uncle and grandfather help me in two days, and we'll have a better life in the future."
Old man Chen, as soon as Cai heard Li Yuqing say that he had something to do in two days, he immediately stopped wiping his tears and asked curiously, "What's the matter, you said we can do it." ”
Li Yuqing saw that they were finally not sad, so she took the opportunity to tell them about the potato harvest. As soon as Old Man Chen heard that potatoes were a rare thing, they could be made into a lot of food and sold for a lot of money, and he was excited and couldn't care about the previous sentimentality. All his thoughts were on the body of the potato in the near future, if it weren't for Li Yuqing pulling it, he would have wanted to rush to the mountain to see the legendary potato now.
arranged their respective accommodations in turn, and there were all kinds of bedding in the rooms, so Li Yuqing let them rest in their respective rooms. In the form of a quadrangle, there is a four-room house on the left, a three-room room in the middle, and a three-room room on the right.
Li Yuqing and several other children live on the left side of the four rooms, in the middle of the old man Chen and Cai's live, the other Chen Dazhuang and He live, the last room is reserved for living room, for eating, when building the house, there are more bricks and tiles left, so the cooking place is built separately in the open space. The last two rooms are reserved for guest rooms and the last one is a toilet.
Because it is a 21st-century flush toilet type, the squat pit is stone-polished. Dig a canal next to it, hang a bucket on the house, which is filled with water, and pour out the water naturally after going to the toilet with a wooden bucket, and flush the excrement in the squatting pit directly into the pit below with the impact force of the canal.
After arranging the residence of Old Man Chen and Cai, Li Yuqing left, and they each sighed again. I haven't slept well in the past few days with the excitement of packing up my things, and now I'm sitting on a spacious big bed with a soft futon under my buttocks. Old man Chen and Cai's acquaintance smiled, took off their shoes, lifted the quilt and lay inside, covered the quilt, smelled the unique smell of the quilt, and after a while, there was a sound of snoring.
Chen Dazhuang didn't need Li Yuqing to make special arrangements, and they were familiar with each other after getting along for a long time. Li Yuqing told him where he lived, and let him go by himself, anyway, everything was equally prepared.
There was a little episode when arranging Chen Jiali, Li Yuqing asked Li Yuxin to take Chen Jiali to her room, at first Chen Jiali was very happy and curious, this touch and that touch, and saw the beautiful new quilt on the bed happily rolling on it. After tossing with Li Yuxin and Li Minghao for a while, he shouted to see where Li Yuxin and Li Minghao lived.
went to Li Yuxin's room and found that she was as lacking in interest as hers, but Li Minghao's residence did not have much reaction. originally thought that it would be over, but when she heard that Li Yuxin and Li Minghao lived together, Chen Jiali's eyes were bright and she was not calm.
Because in addition to helping at home, he practiced embroidery with Cai's family, so he basically didn't have excessive contact with the children in the village. Only Li Yuxin can play well with her in the past, and now she knows that her sister and brother can't give up playing with them if they live together, so they also shouted that they should live together, Li Yuxin has no choice and can't make a decision to take her to Li Yuqing.
Chen Jiali followed Li Yuxin to find Li Yuqing, at this time Li Yuqing was preparing lunch, although Chen Jiali was not very close to Li Yuqing, but she still had a good impression of this cousin who always kept a gentle smile.
Seeing Li Yuqing who was busy in an apron, Chen Jiali stepped forward to hug her slender waist, and called "cousin" sweetly, which startled Li Yuqing, who didn't know why.
looked down at Chen Jiali, who buried her head in her waist, touched her head lovingly, and asked, "What's wrong, Jiali, Sister Xin'er bullied you?" ”
Chen Jiali hurriedly raised her head and shook it desperately, "No, I like it very much." It's that I want to sleep with Sister Xin'er and Brother Hao'er. ”
"What to sleep with" Li Yuqing was a little surprised, but she didn't expect her to want to sleep with them. After a pause, "The three of you sleep together are very crowded, and it is comfortable to sleep alone without you, do you still want to sleep together." ”
"Well, I want to be with them"
Li Yuqing saw that her face was firm, and she glanced at Li Yuxin and asked her opinion. Li Yuxin saw her eldest sister looking at her, and quickly nodded. Li Yuqing held her forehead, and after doing it for a long time, Li Yuxin herself was willing to ask her what she was doing, but she didn't ask much, and patted Chen Jiali's little face, "Okay, if you don't feel well, go back to your room to sleep, you know." ”
Seeing that Li Yuqing agreed so easily, Chen Jiali shouted happily and thanked Li Yuqing, happily pulled Li Yuxin and Li Minghao back to their room.
Leaving Li Yuqing in place, she shook her head helplessly, and sighed, "Sure enough, there is still a group of children, and they will be satisfied." She was secretly proud again, fortunately she had the foresight to make the bed very big in order to make her stay comfortable, plus the three of them were small and didn't have much meat on their bodies, so it was proper to sleep together.
Li Yuqing's lunch was very rich, and she didn't do much to do it, but for the old man Chen, who used to be able to eat white flour steamed buns and white rice, it was already very hearty. Not to mention the large plate of meat, and some unknown dishes are served in delicate white porcelain plates, and the fragrant bone broth is served in a crockpot, so they are under pressure to eat, and they dare not put down chopsticks.
Li Yuqing reluctantly urged Old Man Chen and Cai's several times before they dared to put down the chopsticks, and they were embarrassed to clip more. Old man Chen swallowed his saliva when he saw the red and oily pig on the plate, added a piece and put it in the mouth of a few lost teeth, thinking that he couldn't bite it. Later, when I ate it, it was moderately soft and hard, very chewy, and spicy and spicy. Cai's saw that his wife was eating, and he also took a piece with the intention of trying it, and fell in love with the taste as soon as he ate it.
Li Yuxin saw that her grandparents were happy to eat, and secretly became happy for Li Yuqing, her eldest sister was amazing, and proudly glanced at her uncle and family who were eating on the table.
looked at Li Yuqing with a gentle smile on her face, and then slowly picked up her chopsticks and ate them, and she couldn't stop eating them. I thought to myself, "It's worthy of being the eldest sister, the food is really boring, and it's better than the big restaurant in the town." She knew that the largest Fuman building in the town also bought her eldest sister's menu. ”
Everyone was happy to let go of their bellies to eat, and several people ate the food on the table to the bottom, and each drank a bowl of bone broth before putting down the dishes and chopsticks with satisfaction.
Now is not the busy season, Li Yuqing saw that they were full of food and drink, so they let each go back to the room to rest, Old Man Chen and they saw that they really had nothing to do except clean up the dishes and chopsticks on the table, so they left He to help and went back to the room.
He is very grateful to Li Yuqing, thinking about the current life, if it weren't for Li Yuqing, they would still be nested in those two small earthen houses, how could there be the current blue brick house to live in.
Chong Li Yuqing smiled gratefully, what he wanted to say couldn't be expressed in words, so he could only clean up the dishes and chopsticks with his hands and feet, wanting to do as much work as possible. Li Yuqing couldn't intervene, so she had no choice but to retreat to the back silently, leaving He to work alone.
