Chapter 14: A New Home

My mother's life is still the same as the previous life, and the school she transferred to is still Chengguan Middle School in the county.

It was already eight o'clock in the evening when we arrived, and it wasn't too late on a long summer night. The moon isn't full tonight, but it's bright. Moonlight shone down through the mottled trees, casting a layer of fluorescence on the ground. The breeze brought us a touch of coolness.

The accommodation is not in the Faculty Building, but in an office on the fourth floor of the top floor of the First Teaching Building. This qiē has not changed much from the previous life. Mom was temporarily transferred, there are no empty rooms in the teacher's building, and the office connected to the student's classroom has been vacant. Now it's summer vacation again, and the teacher in charge of the school asked us to settle here first, and then figure out a way when school starts. Xiaoxiao knows and doesn't know for what reason, after the start of school, the dormitory that is vacant in the teacher's building is still not allocated to us, and this residence is two years.

Where there are people, there are conspiracies and struggles.

But I still like it very much, compared to the old and narrow teacher building, this is a new teaching building, the house is new, the room is large, and the water is convenient (because the office has running water), the only inconvenient thing is to go to the toilet. At that time, unlike later generations, there were toilets on every floor, and now a school has a half-male and female toilet, in the northeast corner of the upper playground. The road is a little farther, almost half of the playground, but the light smile uses it as exercise.

Mom, uncle and Uncle Li moved the large items together, and Xiaoxiao and her sister moved the small ones. When everyone was tired and sweaty, and out of breath, they finally moved their things.

"Big brother, little brother and Comrade Li, you just sit down and rest, I'll take out the kettle and boil some boiling water to moisten your throat."

There aren't many things, but it's a bit disorganized to find something at once. Lin Mi'er is in such a situation, the kettle is biased and there is no trace, and things are turned out in a pile, and the already messy room is even more impossible to stand.

"Alright, don't look for it. My brother and sister are polite, it's getting late, let's go back first, don't tidy up the rest of the rest, hurry up and make the bed, wash and sleep, you see that Meiqin and Meiyin are tired and can't open their eyes. Things don't run away, and you'll be the same tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. ”

"Hey, I see." Lin Mi'er looked at her daughter who was dozing off on the side and nodded, "I'll make the bed right away and let them sleep first." Then big brother, I won't send you down. This road is not easy to drive, and this street light is broken again, you should be careful. Lin Mi'er sent them to the staircase, and stopped talking.

"If you have something to say, don't talk about it." Lin Jianhua glanced at Lin Mi'er's words and deeds and said with a dark face: "Your behavior is not as generous as Meiqin's." ”

"Big brother, I won't go home tomorrow, you can help me talk to my parents. I'll tidy up my things first, and I'll go back the day after tomorrow, don't you think? Facing her eldest brother, Lin Mier was also a little apprehensive.

"That's fine, I'll talk to my parents first, and you'll come back when you're done. It's okay to be late, and my parents won't be so angry by then. Lin Jianhua agreed after a little thought.

"Thank you, big brother."

"I'm your eldest brother, and you're polite to me. Are you treating me like an outsider? ”

"No, no. You know mine, I'm just... It's just..."

"Well, I don't know your personality yet. Let's go back! ”

"Yes, goodbye."

When Lin Mier returned to the room, all she saw was a hot and energetic look. The bed has been wiped clean, the bunk has been laid out, and things have been slightly tidied up to make it less messy and crowded. The whole room has come out, and then cleaned, put it away, decorate, and a warm home is born.

"Mom, my sister and I have done it roughly, it's too late today, and you're tired. We'll get the rest tomorrow. ”

"Okay." Lin Mier's eyes are a little moist, a caring daughter, a sensible daughter.

Maybe they were too tired, but the three of them had a good night's sleep and woke up to dawn. Wake up, get dressed, wash up, and start a new day.

"It's over, I forgot about the coal stove last night."

"Mom, it's okay to rise now. I'll help you get it, I've learned this now. Xiaoxiao skillfully carried the coal stove to the corridor, took out two of the burned briquettes inside, and took out one from the cardboard box where the new briquettes were placed, poked all the holes, put them down at the briquette holes in the coal stove, grabbed a handful of shavings and lit them in the coal stove, threw a few pieces of charcoal into them, picked up a fan and swung it left and right at the opening below.

The smoke was rising, and there was some choking.

"Mai Trin, you can help your mother do it for you." Lin Mi'er looked at the movements of a light smile, not dragging mud and water, but neatly. I am relieved and grateful.

"Mom, my sister and I will help with these little things, don't worry about us. We are now grown up to help my mom with the housework. Isn't it, sister? "Hmm. Mom, in the future, my sister and I will do all the work, and you will go and do your business. I'll arrange a qiē. Miin nodded in agreement.

"Good, Mommy's good daughter, Mommy's good daughter. Mom will let you do what you want to do. In the face of such a well-behaved and sensible pair of daughters, Lin Mier was as sweet and happy as drinking honey.

Lin Mi'er told her two daughters about what to eat in the morning, and where the things were, she went back to the house to sort out the things that had not been put in place last night.

In less than an hour, a rich breakfast was prepared under the joint efforts of the two sisters. Boiled a little thin porridge (added too much water), poached eggs that are not yet cooked (the skin is burnt off), slightly yellowed small rolls (burned too much), in short, it is still decent.

"Mom, you taste." The two sisters stared at Lin Mi'er nervously, for fear that she would spit out a sentence of "not delicious". My sister is the first time here, and the light smile is indeed made by not using the coal stove for many years.

Lin Mier smiled and looked at the sisters with their lips closed, looking like they were listening with their hands down, not only to laugh. But thinking that this was their intention, they accepted the meaning of joking and teasing. To: "Very good. Mom's first time was worse than that. The next time my mother burns it, you can watch it from the side, and you won't make a second mistake if you pay attention to some details. All right, sit down and taste your craft. ”

Xiaoxiao sandwiched a little bit of everything and tasted it, and said, "Practice makes perfect." Practice a few more times, and your mother will keep you to eat it really delicious next time. ”

"Okay, mom waits."

After breakfast, the three of them sorted out the rest of the things together. The most in the house are books, mother's teaching books, materials, and magazines; The sisters' storybooks, children's pictorials, composition books, and more. Mom never skimps on money when it comes to buying books. One by one filled two large bookcases, wafting with a strong scent of ink.

Looking at the east and the west, the room is neat and tidy, and I always feel that there is something missing.

"Mom, sister. Don't you think there's something missing? Sitting on the small bench, he said with a chin propped up.

"No, I think it's good." Miin spun around and shook her head.

"It's less, it feels empty." Lin Mier was reminded by a light smile and also seconded: "By the way, wouldn't it be better to add a curtain in the middle." ”

"Curtains? Yes, this separates the kitchen from the bedroom, so that you can no longer see the bottom at a glance. Xiaoxiao jumped up and found tools for her mother to nail nails on the walls on both sides, and used a thin wire to pass through the small iron rings on the curtain in the middle, and the two sides were fixed, and a screen was formed naturally.

Light smile turned out the red paper, folded in half and folded in half, picked up the scissors and quickly cut it according to what he learned and thought, and opened it after cutting it was a blessing word. Nodding with a light smile, there will be no cumbersome tricks, and the simple Fu word is not bad. The windows and doors are pasted, adding a little more color and adding a festive feeling.

"Mom, the three of us are free to take a picture, a family photo. Hang it on the head of the bed, okay? ”

"Okay, family portrait."

Home, a new home with a smile, a new home with a mother and a sister was officially completed. Life is like a book that opens a new chapter, with hope and purpose.
