Chapter 60: A New Home
The next morning, the brothers and sisters-in-law had breakfast in their own small home, and came to the old house one after another to wait, laughing happily one by one.
Each son will build a house and move out when he gets married, and each family will have their own way, and during the New Year's festival or when the family comes to visit, they will each take some ingredients to the old house to eat together.
In the past few days, Chen Xingling has gone home, and his brother and sister-in-law have taken the initiative to come here to eat together.
Today she is leaving, and the sisters-in-law consciously go back to their house to cook.
Soon, the brothers helped Chen Xingling carry her duffel bag and suitcase onto the tractor.
She had a lot of luggage before, coming and going in a hurry, and everyone didn't take a closer look, but today when she saw one by one, she couldn't help but ask why there were so many.
Chen Xingling replied ambiguously: "In addition to clothes, there are also some bedding and daily necessities bought in advance, which can be used when you go to your new home." ”
Gu Yi thought that her sister-in-law had just bought it recently, but the brothers and sisters-in-law thought that she had bought it from Shangjing and brought it over, and after asking, they got into the car separately, and no one doubted it.
A few brothers squeezed in front, parents and sisters-in-law and children sat in the back, fortunately the back of the tractor was spacious enough, otherwise a large family of more than 20 people would not be able to sit at all.
On the road, everyone chatted happily, and did not feel that the road was too far, and arrived at the north gate of the shipyard at nine o'clock.
Chen Xingling had already been here before, and he was busy showing the eldest brother who was driving the tractor in front of him.
Soon, the tractor stopped downstairs on the "first floor of Linjiang", and a large family got out of the car happily, bustling to move things and luggage, and went up to the third floor.
The originally deserted suite instantly became lively, full of voices and laughter inside and out!
Gu Yi was surprised and praised: "Sister-in-law, is this really given to him by my brother's unit?" Isn't that great? ”
Chen Bingxing on the side smiled.
"This is the largest factory in Chongqing! Of course, the welfare salary is also the best. The tallest building in the city is seven and a half storeys, and the shipyard built six buildings in one fell swoop last year, each six storeys high, and is now one of the tallest buildings in the entire city. As soon as you hear it, you know it's a rich unit, right? ”
Gu Yi thought for a moment and nodded suddenly.
This trip, he has completely opened his eyes!
Several sisters-in-law were envious and whispered while visiting the suite.
"My sister-in-law is really blessed, my brother-in-law is tall and handsome, and she has such a good unit! Look at! The unit is so beautiful! ”
"It's so high! You can see far away from the window! ”
"And voila! If you look from the balcony, you can see the sea outlet! ”
The little turnips ran in and out of several rooms, giggling and playing.
Chen Xingling boiled water in the kitchen, took out more than a dozen white ceramic cups from the duffel bag, and asked the old mother to wash and dry them first.
Liu Peiyun asked suspiciously: "I bought it in the capital?" Are you not afraid of breaking on the road? ”
Forehead?
Chen Xingling pretended to answer casually: "Put it in the middle of the futon, the futon is very thick, and I am not afraid of falling." ”
At this time, Chen Wuxing probed his brain and squeezed his eyebrows at his sister.
"Dad asked you to come out, we have something to discuss with you."
Chen Xingling had no choice but to dry his hands and hurriedly went to the living room.
Several sisters-in-law were wiping the wooden sofa and coffee table, the brothers were leaning against the wall and talking, and the old father was leaning on the small museum shelf and swallowing the clouds.
The old man's dark and wrinkled face smiled and said softly: "According to our tradition, when a married daughter and son-in-law move to a new house, the mother's family has to buy some furniture or give a big red envelope, which can be regarded as the mother's wish for you to change to a new house and live a better life." ”
"Really?" Chen Xingling laughed, "There are still such good things? ”
Chen Daxing raised his eyebrows and asked, "When a few of us moved to the new house, your sisters-in-law's maiden families all bought furniture - what?" Have you forgotten? ”
"Nope!" Chen Xingling laughed: "I'm not waiting for you to take the initiative!" ”
Everyone laughed.
Chen Zhongxing doted and chuckled: "After Archie divided the suite, he didn't have time to go back to the village to say a word." Now that you're back, it's officially a new house. What do you say? Do we buy furniture or give you a red envelope to buy it yourself? ”
"That's right! Tell me about it! ”
"You can mention the specific amount of red envelopes!"
Chen Xingling grinned, and was worried about whether to buy a few wooden beds, after all, the split bed in the supermarket was too novel and eye-catching, and it was not easy to move it out directly.
"Do you know where wooden beds are sold? How much does a regular wooden bed cost? ”
Chen Wuxing immediately replied: "The wooden wedding bed I bought was bought at a local product store in the east of the city, and a good quality big bed costs 25 yuan, a smaller one costs 20 yuan, and a child bed costs 10 yuan." ”
"Why don't you buy two wooden beds for us?" Chen Xingling pointed to the other two rooms and explained: "There are beds in our room, and the other two rooms are not, and they look empty. A large one plus a child's bed is enough. ”
"That's it? Too little, right? ”
"Why don't you buy you an extra dresser?" How? ”
Chen Xingling shook his head: "No, no, no, just two wooden beds, and Archie and I will arrange the rest." If Ah Yi doesn't come here to work, we usually live as a family of three, and we can't get too much furniture. There are too many things and furniture, and I have to work hard to clean them. Spare me and let me be lazy. ”
The brothers laughed.
Several sisters-in-law were also present, and although their hands were busy, their ears were pricked up and they listened carefully. Hearing this, they quietly glanced at each other, the corners of their mouths were full of happy smiles, and their hearts became more and more satisfied with this ungreedy sister-in-law.
Chen Sanshui raised his eyebrows and raised his voice: "Okay, since Ling Ling said that as long as there is a wooden bed, then buy a wooden bed." While the tractor was downstairs, he pulled it back and moved it up, and his brother-in-law also had a place to sleep at night. ”
"Good!" Several brothers responded one after another.
"Wait!" Chen Xingling hurriedly reminded: "Xiaohuzi and I are not used to the smell of paint. You buy the unvarnished ones, I like the furniture made of logs. ”
Chen Daxing nodded and said with a smile: "If you don't paint it, maybe it can be cheaper." ”
A few of my brothers went downstairs.
When the two elderly people saw that the children were running in and out too noisy, they took the initiative to take them downstairs to play, so that the women could clean up with peace of mind.
Gu Yi found that he couldn't help, so he also went downstairs to be the "child king".
Several sisters-in-law chatted with Chen Xingling while working, talking and laughing.
"Hello! Is Gu Qi's family here? Someone shouted outside the door.
Chen Xingling wiped his hands and walked out quickly, only to see that the eldest sister who brought him to recognize the way from the personnel department yesterday was looking at the door with a stack of tickets, and hurriedly greeted him.
The eldest sister smiled: "I'm busy cleaning up." This is Engineer Gu's overtime meal ticket, I heard that he went to sea for the business of the factory on the second day of the Lunar New Year, which is really hard. Sister-in-law, look at these - the meal ticket for overtime work during the holidays is twice as high as usual, the level of Engineer Gu is high, and there is a meat ticket subsidy every day, all of which are here. ”
Chen Xingling thanked her and invited her into the house to drink water.
The eldest sister shook her head and said no, explaining: "Yesterday you said that you were going to move over, so I sent it to you in advance." There are two canteens in the factory, and you can eat during the opening time. The subsidy of the ticket is under the management of our personnel department, and the advance allowance or settling-in allowance is received by the finance department, not by us. ”
"Got it, thanks."
