The new home of the Lu family is a two-entry quadrangle. It covers a large area, and it is about four or five hundred square meters according to Chunying's visual measurement. The gate is located in the southwest corner, just two half-old doors of ordinary size, and after entering the door, there is a newly painted shadow wall, with a brick carving pattern of a flowing cloud bat embedded in it, and two large sea tanks behind it, filled with water. There are three main houses in the front yard, two rooms in the east and west wings, and two inverted rooms. A few begonias have been planted in the courtyard, and half of the bud has been hung, and there are many other trees, including jujube trees, pomegranate trees, and toon trees. Walking back along the open space on both sides of the main house, there is the backyard, in which there are four back cover rooms, all freshly painted white walls and brand new door panels, and on the side are two newly transplanted peaches, which are still too thin, with only some young leaves on the branches, plus three or four small buds.

Unlike the mansions that Chunying is used to, there is no verandah here to connect the houses, although the place is quite large, but compared to the houses of high-ranking families such as the Hou Mansion and the East Mansion. It's much more down-to-earth.

All the houses had been repainted, the ground had been paved with new stone slabs, the freshly turned earth exuded a fresh scent, and several large wooden boxes were placed in front of the main house and the east wing, and a few miscellaneous items were scattered all over the ground. Obviously, it's because the owner is cleaning up the room.

Chunying looked inside and out of her new home, was amazed, and ran back to her father and said, "Dad, I heard that it's just a small house, how can it be so big?!" There are only four people in our family, where can we use such a big yard? It's more cost-effective to rent it out, right?! ”

Lu Yougui took a sip of tea, smacked his lips, shook his head and said: "You look at the big one, because the place where we lived in the past was small, in fact, compared with those big families, this size is nothing, that is, it is one more than the yard where we used to live in the back street, and there is no place to raise horses and put carts." I originally bought it, and I also planned to rent it to officials or businessmen from other places, but after buying it for a year, I only got two tenants and earned five or six taels of silver, which was less than the income of other small courtyards. It cost me a hundred taels of silver! Renters say that the house is old, the façade is not grand enough, and the furniture is old. I asked Son-in-law Lu to find someone to renovate it, and you will receive a letter from there. I thought, wait until we get out of the house. Anyway, I have a little bit of wealth, and there is no reason to still squeeze a yard with others. It is not cost-effective to spend money to buy a single courtyard, after all, the housing prices in the capital are not comparable with those in the village. [A lot of good] Heng vertical this house no one rented, so he took it back and lived in it himself. Girl, our family is bleeding this time, living in such a place, I feel like a master! ”

Chunying couldn't help laughing when she heard this, and the second uncle next to her sprayed a mouthful of tea all over the ground: "Big brother, you are also called master like this?" You're wearing a patched cloth jacket! Mother Lu ran out of the upside-down room and gave her husband a blank look: "Heard?" The second uncle said so, I told you not to wear it, you just want to wear it! No jokes! ”

Lu Yougui didn't care: "Clean up the house, it's too bad to wear clean new clothes, it's better to wear this, tear it up and throw it away." ”

Chunying covered her mouth and smiled: "You don't need to throw it away, the old clothes are broken, cut them into strips, tie a mop, and clean the ground in the house." Leave this job to me! Then he said to his mother, "Where else has it not been cleaned up?" I'll help you do it, I'm the one I know best. ”

Mother Lu waved her hand. Pointing to the west wing: "I'm cleaning up the kitchen, I don't need you, you just clean up your own room." The furniture is fresh, the covers are new, and everything else is up to you. Go ahead, and when you're done, come and help me cook." ”

Chun Ying became interested at once, responded loudly, and rushed to the room where she had been thinking about it for a long time.

Qiu Yu rolled up her sleeves and came out of the kitchen, looked at her sister's back with a smile, and said to her mother: "Mother, the guys in the kitchen are almost cleaned up, you rest first, I'll go back and hug Brother Kang." Today, your son-in-law is out of the city, and he doesn't eat lunch at home, and I'm bored at home with my children, so it's not interesting, so it's better to let Sister-in-law Ye and Xiao'er come over to help cook and clean. Dad and mother have been busy for a few days, and it is time to take a breath. ”

Mother Lu was overjoyed: "That's a good dare!" It's just that you still have to clean up your home, won't it be too troublesome? ”

"It's just cooking and sweeping the floor, and there is no heavy work, what's the trouble? They waited for me at home. Could it be that I can still watch my father and mother busy before and after, but my own girl and cook are idle and have nothing to do? Feel relieved. I'll be right back. After that, Qiuyu took off her apron, said to her father, and saluted her second uncle: "You sit slowly, and your niece will come when she goes." And he went out.

Chunying heard the sound and rushed out only to see Qiu Yu's back, so she had to turn back to the house and continue to clean up.

This west wing is said to be two, but in fact, one large and one small. It's more like three rooms, but because the original area is too small, it is inconvenient to plate the kang, so two of them are opened, and a multi-treasure grid is placed as a partition, and the outer room is put on the table and chairs and other furniture, which can be used as a reception room, and the inner room is a kang that occupies one-third of the area, as well as two large wardrobes, and two windows are opened on the wall facing the courtyard, and under the window is a table, half-old texture, but it is re-varnished.

The luggage taken back from Dongfu was hastily piled on the side of the kang, and the coat box was placed on the ground. Chunying picked out the clothes, put them in the closet one by one, and pushed the suitcase to the corner of the house, then turned around, climbed onto the kang, pulled out the mirror box from the corner, and put the family and jewelry and belongings who combed their hair inside.

It was already spring, so there was no kang in the house, but the pink quilt and green quilt were soft and cotton. It's very comfortable to sit on, the kang is big, as soon as Chunying packs up her things, she can't help but roll on the kang, and the place is more than enough.

There were two windows on the side of the kang and on the opposite wall, and Chunying opened one on the side of the kang, and a cool breeze blew in from outside. Half a meter away from the window is the fence, and at the other end of the wall, it seems to be someone else's yard, next to the root of the wall, a few tall plantains are planted, and large green banana leaves stretch over the wall. It should be cool in the summer, right? It's cheaper for her.

Chunying smiled and looked at the plantain, and suddenly heard a faint shouting sound in the distance, walked to the door and listened carefully, it turned out to be "delicious rock sugar gourd-", "Vegetable and meat wontons-fresh just out of the pot, hot and fragrant-", "Lao Liu's Jiangmi bean and jujube rice cake, the portion is full and tastes good-", "Repair shoes-", "The latest tricks, the big girl and the little daughter-in-law will come to take a look, and you will wear it to become a fairy-", etc., one after another. Chunying laughed while listening, and shouted, "Mother, isn't there a place to sell flowers nearby?" Why do you seem to have added a lot of stalls? ”

Mother Lu stretched her neck from the window of the east wing and looked over, but she didn't understand, Xiaohu was already shouting behind her: "There are also rock sugar gourds that sell!" I want to eat the rock sugar gourd of Lao Zhang's family, not Lao Wang's, his family is not delicious. Mother, let's go buy rice cakes, shall we? I love to eat Lao Liu's Jiangmi rice cakes! Mother Lu turned around and slapped him on the ass: "What's the mess?!" Pack up your books and pen and ink! Ming'er is going back to school! Have you done your homework? Eat all day long! ”

Second Uncle Lu leaned on the door of the main house, and when he heard the amusement, he turned back to his brother and said, "Big brother, I'll go outside to buy a few meat and vegetables, and then come back with half a catty of wine." Today, Chunying is home, and everyone has a drink to celebrate. Lu Da did not postpone it: "Then you go, there is a newly opened restaurant at the mouth of Shangtoutiao Hutong, marinated duck, and it is a must for the roast chicken of the store." Walking further inside, the Qianli incense next to the Xingjia silk flower shop has a good wine made from a secret recipe, didn't I bring it back when I went back to you? You've been complimenting it on how good it is. ”

When Second Uncle Lu heard this, he immediately got up: "Then I'll go now, don't wait for me to come back before eating!" And he hurried away.

Chunying listened and already understood that the area of Chongwenmen Street was no longer the world of flower shops, and it turned out that in the past few years, all kinds of new shops had been added, and it seemed to be very lively. She remembered that there were many big girls and little daughters-in-law in that area in the past, and there was nothing taboo about it. My heart started to itch, and I immediately decided to go out shopping when I had free time!

Back in the room, Chunying smelled the faint aroma of soap clips on the quilt and the faint smell of tung oil from the furniture, threw herself on the kang, closed her eyes, and stretched her limbs comfortably.

Isn't this the kind of life she has been pursuing since she crossed over? The house is your own, you can do whatever you want, and you can go out if you like to go out. In the future, I don't have to serve others, I don't have to be afraid, and I don't have to worry about the intrigue between the girl and the mother-in-law. She doesn't want to be rich or rich, she just wants to live this easy and rich life for the rest of her life.

The lunch was very rich, not only the good dishes of the Lu family's chef Sister-in-law Ye, but also the smoked chicken and braised duck that Uncle Lu bought from outside, and a small jar of wine to take. Lu Yougui and Lu Chongjun chatted while drinking, and they talked about it, and before they knew it, they drank all the wine in a jar, and they were still a little unsatisfied, shouting that they wanted to fight some more.

Mother Lu took her two daughters and little grandson to sit on the kang, since she was busy watching her son and not letting him touch the wine, and helping the eldest daughter to feed the little grandson, she also politely asked the cook and girl of Qiu Yufu's family to eat more food, turned her head and saw that her husband and uncle were drinking red, and hurriedly called Chunying: "Quickly persuade your father and your second uncle, it's still daytime, after noon, you have to continue to clean up the house, you must settle down tonight!" ”

Chunying couldn't help but laugh, walked over and snatched the wine jar from the second uncle's hand, and said, "Forget it today, Dad, second uncle, you said that you bought the wine to celebrate my homecoming, why didn't I even have half a cup?" After a while, I got so drunk that I wanted to cook hangover soup! ”

Lu Yougui burped and grinned: "What kind of wine does the girl drink?" It's rare to be happy today, and it doesn't matter if you indulge for a while. Second Uncle Lu was a little ridiculous, he had always loved Chunying, so he made amends: "It's uncle's negligence, I'll get you something good tomorrow, it's an apology." ”

Chunying just laughed, boiled hot tea, and watched the two of them drink a bowl of each, and their minds were clearer, so they were relieved.

Although the wine was relieved a little, the sleepiness became deeper and deeper. Lu Yougui kept yawning, and Second Uncle Lu also began to droop his eyelids. Mother Lu hurriedly said: "Sister Qiu'er, help your father back to the room, Chun'er, you go and help your second uncle." There's a room in the back room for guests, so you can help him go to sleep. Then he complained twice: "Now there are two fewer people!" ”

Chunying and Qiuyu glanced at each other, and they both endured the smile below, one hugged Lu Yougui, and the other supported Lu Chongjun, so they wanted to move out.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, and Mother Lu walked to the door and shouted, "Who is it?!" An answer came from outside the door: "Eldest sister, it's me, all noble!" ”

When Mother Lu heard this, she immediately walked over and opened the door. Chunying felt that this name was quite familiar in a daze, and suddenly remembered, isn't that her uncle Jin Quangui, who has not been in contact for a long time?
