In the past, the bathroom was a small one, and the inner wall was the original appearance of red brick and cement, and it was very cramped for people to stay in it.

After Lixia demolished and rebuilt, the area of the bathroom was much larger, and there was more place to put clothes and toiletries, and a layer of smooth cement was scraped on the wall, and the windows were opened above, so there was finally no suffocation on the previous side.

Because there are elderly people in the family, Li Xia also installed armrests on the walls, and the chairs specially used for bathing were also prepared, but they were all stored in Chen Xinchun's house, and they were only taken out when they were used.

The laundry room is also of a similar layout, but the windows are smaller and larger, with wires and faucets connected to them, and the walls are painted with white walls and green skirts.

"That's good, it'll be convenient to do laundry in the future." The Zhao family came back and walked around twice outside the bathroom and laundry room.

Xu Wenwen was also watching, and sneered when he heard this, "Uncle Zhao, the washing machine is private, not a public thing." ”

I really want to take advantage of any cheapness, and I can't take advantage of any cheapness.

Zhao Xuantian glanced at Xu Wenwen with drooping eyes, and left unhappily, Xu Wenwen pursed his lips, feeling that the laundry room in Lixia was very well built.

"When I buy a yard, I'll build a hut like this." Xu Wenwen took a closer look and found that there was still a place to dry clothes in the laundry room, and he was not afraid of rain.

Li Xia was cleaning, and raised her head when she heard this, "Sister Wenwen, are you going to buy a house?" ”

Xu Wenwen nodded, "You always have to buy it, Huahua has a partner, you can't have a house when you get married, and you can still squeeze with us." ”

No wonder Xu Huahua is always smiling when he goes out recently, Li Xia smiled and congratulated a few words, and then asked where Xu Wenwen was looking at the house.

Li Xia is also interested in buying a house, but this is at least a plan after the year.

Although the housing price in Jiang Province is low, only about 300, Li Xia only has less than 10,000 yuan in his hand, and it is not enough to buy a small house of 60 square meters.

What's more, Li Xia didn't plan to buy a commercial house or unit house with a very unreasonable layout, she wanted to buy a small yard nearby.

"We can't afford a house in the city, so we looked at a house in the suburbs, and we could buy it for 20,000 yuan, and we are still talking about it." Xu Wenwen said.

She wants to buy a house in the city, but every inch of land in the city is expensive, and with her and Xu Huahua's salaries, she may not be able to afford it for a lifetime if she saves the 180 yuan a month.

Houses in the suburbs are much cheaper, and they are close to the city anyway, so they don't affect work or anything.

The object of Xu Huahua's conversation is also from another city to work in the provincial capital, she is a very simple and hard-working girl, she has no requirements for the location of the house, even if she rents a house to get married, she has no opinion.

Although the matter of the house is still being discussed, looking at the joy in the corners of Xu Wenwen's eyes, there is a good chance that this matter will be settled.

"Then I'll wait to eat housewarming candy." Li Xia smiled and congratulated first.

Xu Wenwen was in a good mood, "Soon, if you Brother Hua Hua work harder, maybe you can still eat wedding candy before the year." ”

Just as Xu Huahua came out of the room and asked curiously, "What kind of wedding candy?" Who wants to get married? ”

Xu Wenwen and Li Xia glanced at each other, and laughed at the same time, Xu Huahua was inexplicably laughed by them, and was a little embarrassed to realize something.

At dinner in the evening, Li Xia talked to Chen Xinchun about Xu Wenwen's house purchase, and Chen Xinchun nodded, indicating that he already knew.

"This is what Wenwen told me, I plan to take back this house in the future, and I won't rent it." The rent of those two rooms was very low, so Chen Xinchun did not live on the rent of the house.

Chen Xinchun discussed with them, "It's not so convenient for you to learn to make leather bags in Xiaonan's house, and when the time comes, Wenwen's house will be changed to a study or a workshop?" ”

Li Xia was stunned, although she wanted to buy a house, she didn't plan to cross the river and tear down the bridge after moving away, and she didn't care about the old couple in the future, but when she heard Chen Xinchun say this, she still felt a little guilty in her heart.

If you don't live together, it's not so convenient to take care of it, and you still have to buy the house, but if you want to move after you buy it, let's look at it again.

"Okay." Li Xia actually wanted to take back the house where the Zhao family lived, and the wall on the south side of the house was the wall facing the street.

If you take it back, you can open a window directly, you can get a commissary to rent a bookstore or something, and your grandparents usually have a pastime income.

The most important thing is that whether it is in terms of hygiene or dealing with people, the Zhao family always makes people want to stay away, which is far less comfortable than Xu Wenwen's sister and brother.

If the house where Xu Wenwen lives is taken back, who knows what the next tenant will look like.

"Wenwen, they should move soon, do you want to order a few cabinets, I'll go to the carpenter." Chen Xinchun happily discussed with Li Xia.

There must be a cabinet, and many tools in Lixia are now piled up in cardboard boxes, and it is much more convenient to have cabinets to classify.

She plans to go to the house to measure the size when it is convenient for Xu Wenwen one day.

A week after the laundry room was built, Lin Jing brought the washing machine back to Li Xia, the light green double-cylinder washing machine, which had to be changed manually.

When Lin Jingyun came to the washing machine, it was a normal working day, and most of the onlookers were old men and old ladies, and they were enviable, but when they asked about the price, they were a little discouraged.

Envy is envy, but some old people can't help but remind Chen Xinchun, "Old Chen, you don't spend your money like this, this is a refrigerator and a washing machine, you have to keep some money in your hands for the elderly." ”

Chen Xinchun was happy, "This is all spent where it should be used, besides, the children are filial, it's okay." ”

He's not stupid, you see when Chen Linxiu used to provide for their pension, did he buy any big items?

It's not all about making it up.

Sincerity for sincerity, what Li Xia's sisters and sisters are like, he sees it in his eyes, and he is willing to treat the children better.

I don't pay anything, I pick all kinds of doors, but I blindly expect my children to provide for the elderly, which is too unrealistic.

The old man who persuaded shook his head, he persuaded him, but whether he listened or not was Chen Xinchun's own business.

Lin Jing helped put the washing machine away, and was ready to dismantle the sheets and quilts of the old couple in the new year to test the machine.

"Don't don't, Xia Xia just changed it to a new one a few days ago, you take two old clothes and try it." Chen Xinchun hurriedly stopped.

Lin Jing raised his eyebrows, the washing machine was about to arrive, and he thought that Li Xia would wait for the washing machine to arrive before dismantling and washing, after all, it would be troublesome.

Watching the machine spin, the old people walked over one by one with their hands behind their backs.

"That's going to cost a lot of water, isn't it?"

"I guess it will take a lot of money to do the laundry."

"I'm looking at it, it's not funny, I don't feel like it's clean, isn't this money for nothing? Don't end up having to wash it yourself. ”

At this time, the washing machine does have the problem of insufficient cleaning strength, and many times it is necessary to rub it by hand in advance before putting it in the washing machine.

In order to save water and electricity, some simply wash them directly by hand, and at most they are dried with a throwing bucket.

However, there were no children's clothes to wash at Lixia's house, nor did they have clothes to wash for laborers who were working outside. The family is either an elderly person or a student, and the existing cleaning strength of the washing machine is enough.

After installing the washing machine, Lin Jing didn't leave, he rarely took a vacation, and he didn't bother to go back to the dormitory, so he sat in the courtyard of the new spring.

I worked hard to get a washing machine, and it was not too much to leave for a meal.

"Would you like to go into the house and read a book?" Li Xia and their house, Chen Xinchun has the key in his hand.

Lin Jing glanced at the locked door and said with a smile, "It's okay, I'll just sit outside, the sun is still good today." ”

Chen Xinchun didn't insist, he accompanied Grandma Hu to look at some photos at home, first look at the photos taken when he was in the park with Huang Fucheng last time, and some landscape photos, photos of small animals, and take care of her a little bit Who is this and what it is.

After reading the photos, I took Grandma Hu to touch it here and there, and then led her out for a walk.

These are things that Li Xia asked the doctor about and learned from books, and this will be good for Grandma Hu's dementia.

Although the use can be minimal, Chen Xinchun still insists on doing these things every day, and when Li Xia usually accompanies him, he also consciously guides his grandmother to know and feel these things.

When she came back from school at noon, Li Xia looked at Lin Jing who was eating popsicles leisurely, and felt cold.

The popsicle was found in the refrigerator, and the leftover mung bean porridge I drank yesterday morning, Li Xia added some more sugar on a whim and froze it in the refrigerator.

I regretted it after freezing, who still eats popsicles on this cold day, at this time the freezer layer of the refrigerator is not big, and then stuffing a popsicle with a cup and half a chopsticks will take up more space.

If it hadn't been for the forest realm to wipe it out, maybe Li Xia would have thrown it away today.

Seeing Li Xia, Lin Jing, who was so cold that the roots of his teeth were cold, pointed to the laundry, "The washing machine has been brought to you, you can go and take a look." ”

Li Xia's eyes lit up, and she immediately ran over, and the brand new washing machine was placed by the window.

"Thank you, what do you want to eat at noon, just say." Li Xia came out of the laundry room, her eyes were bright and bright, and she was obviously in a good mood, so she directly asked Lin Jing to order.

Usually at noon, Lixia makes relatively simple and fast dishes, and does not deliberately bother to make those time-consuming dishes.

"I want to eat braised pork ribs, the potato stew chicken last time was also delicious, and I also want to eat pork belly." Lin Jing will not be polite.

Fortunately, he also knew that Li Xia still had to go to school in the afternoon, so he didn't order more dishes.

"Okay." Li Xia readily agreed, and then asked Li Nan to take the money and hurry to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.

Although the meat is frozen in the refrigerator, if you want to thaw it for a while, it is better to buy fresh directly, which is faster.

"How was your business trip, do you have accurate information?" Li Xia scooped the rice out and picked it for Lin Jing, and took the vegetables from the refrigerator to clean up.

Lin Jing put his hands in his pockets, "You treat heroes like this?" ”

"The fruits of your own labor will taste extraordinarily delicious." Li Xia didn't raise her head, carefully peeling the skin of the lettuce.

The current lettuce is a little old, but the skin can be soaked in rice water, soaked until white, and then taken out and cut into shreds and fried meat to eat, which is sour, crispy, delicious and appetizing.

Lettuce meat is generally soaked in the jar, it is also sour, take it out and cut it into cubes, even if you don't add meat to stir-fry, it is delicious, and you can eat it directly as a sour dish.

"Then I'll make it difficult for me." Lin Jing freed his hand and slowly washed the rice, while talking to Li Xia, "You ask me what I am doing on a business trip, do you know what I am doing?" ”

Li Xia peeled off a whole lettuce skin and smiled, "I don't know, I guess, under normal circumstances, you shouldn't need to go to the prefecture-level city below, right, I guessed wrong?" ”

"Woodland.

Li Xia didn't care, "If I guess wrong, you just don't say it, I won't probe into secrets." ”

"Not really." Lin Jing scooped the rice and went into the kitchen to collect water and wash it.

Li Xia hurriedly took out the basin and handed it to him, "Wash the rice water and pour it into this, it's useful." ”

"Now the accident section has been determined, but it will take a lot of effort to find someone." It was found out in the forest realm that people had appeared in Huyang County.

Generally, when looking for people, most of them will walk around the streets and alleys to post missing person notices, inquire everywhere, and maybe even go to the local public security for help.

The clues were broken when they arrived in Huyang County, and they investigated between Huyang and Huzhou, and now they have roughly locked the section of the road where the accident occurred.

However, there are large mountain roads, complex mountains and forests that have not been developed, and there are no residents, so it is very difficult to find.

At least years ago, Lin Jing didn't have time to look for it anymore, so he could only ask local people to help him do things.

"Hope, isn't it?" Li Xia put the rice washing water in the corner of the kitchen and set it up, soaked the freshly peeled lettuce skin, and pressed it with a clean stone.

Lin Jing nodded and asked casually, "That's the case, you're not worried at all?" ”

Lose sleep over something?

Until now, Lin Jing still hasn't dispelled the doubts in his heart.

Even if he helps to open a household registration, he usually takes care of Li Xia's sisters and siblings, but the doubts in his heart have always been there.

Li Xia stood up straight and glanced at Lin Jing with a smile, "I have nothing to worry about, I'm glad to find someone, and I'll give you braised pig's head to eat when the time comes." ”

"Lin Jing, why is the thanksgiving such a heavy thing.

Seeing that Li Xia didn't care, Lin Jing felt that he was just worrying, after he knew the clues, he actually hesitated for many moments and gave up looking for answers.

There's nothing wrong with this now, so why bother to bring everything to the fore.

"Xia Xia, I bought some braised pig ears and chicken feet, and I'll have a drink with A-Jing at noon." Chen Xinchun carried his things into the kitchen.

Li Xia took the thing, "Only one drink." ”

"Okay, one cup is enough." Chen Xinchun smiled and nodded, it was good to have a drink to quench his cravings.

Chen Xinchun came back, the two did not continue the topic just now, and when the rice was boiled in the pot, Li Nan also bought vegetables and ran back.

The kitchen is not small, Lin Jing originally planned to give Li Xia a hand, but seeing that Li Xia and Li Nan cooperated tacitly, he was stunned that there was no place for him to intervene, so he silently went to sit outside.

"That's right, the bag for Sister Xiaoxue is ready, you can help me bring it to her in the afternoon, it's on the desk, or you take it out now, so you don't remember when you leave." Li Xia suddenly remembered this, afraid that he would forget it in a blink of an eye, so he hurriedly reminded Lin Jing.

Lin Jing went to the study to get the bag, and when he picked it up, he didn't pay attention to the textbook that Li Xia put on the table.

The school's weekly schedule is fixed, and all classes will not be taken every day, and some sub-subjects will not even be at all.

The textbook was taken over and it was physical education, and Lin Jing picked it up and prepared to put it as it was, but a letter fell out of the page.

Probably for fear of being discovered immediately by the owner, the letter paper was neatly sandwiched between the pages, well disguised.

When it falls out, you can see the whole thing at a glance.

It's actually a love letter.

The first is the latest.
