The old lady's house is a traditional courtyard house in Southern Province.

The face width is 36 meters, the depth is 16 meters, the blue bricks and tiles, because the historical heritage is deep enough, the naked eye can see that it is not so glamorous, but it reveals the simplicity of Chinese architecture, and the solemnity of the mansion.

The layout is a horizontal three-span courtyard, with three classic four-water return patios.

In the center, the three courtyards correspond to the three entrance doors, and the middle is the gate.

Side doors were opened on both sides.

The house is large, and the three courtyard rooms add up to more than twenty rooms.

I can't live at all.

What to do?

The second elder was reluctant to go around, so the child took his cat and the second elder to live in the courtyard.

Jian Yuelan and her husband live in the courtyard on the right.

The space is large, the privacy is strong, and once the courtyard door is locked, it is an independent large space.

The old man also thoughtfully asked people to clean up two rooms in the courtyard of the couple, one for Jian Yuelan to make a working room, and the other for Ye Linxing to make a study.

There is also a study room in the main courtyard, which is shared with the two elders.

In the words of the old man, if a mother does not seek to be motivated, his great-grandson can't learn from him.

Therefore, the old man and the old lady decided to take over the education of the children.

In this regard, Jian Yuelan raised her hands in agreement, the two elders are from big families, and they really have nothing to say about their academic background.

It's also quick to embrace new things.

But these are not the point, the point is that the second elder came with this country.

What they have seen and heard, the level of contact, the way they see things, the pattern, etc., are the existence that the couple will not be able to learn if they live for a lifetime.

There are two elders to educate children, which is only good for children, and there can be no harm.

Therefore, Jian Yuelan has no reason to disagree.

Bai Ye, who was cleaning up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "I used to think that a big house was good, but today I found that living in a big house is painful and happy." ”

Jian Yuelan, who came in carrying a long solid wood table, heard his words and wondered, "What do you say?" ”

"We need to be hygienic."

Bai Ye was serious, "We've been doing this for more than three hours, and we haven't even finished half of it, I finally know why those big families raised so many people in ancient times." ”

This can't be done if you don't raise it, such a big house, if you don't support people, you have to tire people to death if you don't support the main family.

Before Jian Yuelan could do anything, Ye Linxing complained, "You are less nonsense, my daughter-in-law has done all the physical work, and the three of us men will wash and scrub, you are tired, you are still a man?!" ”

Bai Ye, "??? I just sighed, why is it related to a man who is not a man? ”

Liu Chengqi smiled, "Xiao Ye thinks you talk too much, I hope you talk less and do more." ”

"Tsk."

Bai Ye shook his head, took the rag and went up the ladder to wipe the dust, and said to Jian Yuelan, "Brother and sister, for the sake of us being cleaners today, you have to clean up and eat for us at night." ”

"Gotta get it."

Jian Yuelan, who had placed the table against the wall, patted the dust on her hands, "I have placed all the heavy objects, you are responsible for the next cleaning work, I will go shopping and come back to cook." ”

"Okay."

Then, Jian Yuelan went to find them and asked if they wanted to go grocery shopping with them.

"Go."

The child was leading Daji and them to step on the ground everywhere, and when they heard the sound, they ran over and hugged her legs, and asked with a cute little face, "Mom, bring them with you." ”

"Nope."

She smiled and refused, "Mom went grocery shopping to find coolies, not to do it herself, understand?" ”

"Understood."

Mom wanted him to help carry the vegetables, but she didn't want to carry them.

"Then I'm not going."

He let go, stepped back, waved his little hand at Jian Yuelan, and smiled brightly, "Mom, you send a few sends, Daji and I will be at home obediently, and I won't burden you." ”

Yo, this little idea is getting clearer and clearer.

"Okay, then mom is gone."

"Go and get back!"

"Yes."

She turned to leave, and the old lady got up from her chair with a smile, "I'll go with you." ”

"Lest you find no place where you are unfamiliar."

"Okay."

So, Jian Yuelan took the old lady's arm and went out with the basket.

The old lady grew up in this area, and she was clear about where to buy things.

On the first day of staying in the old house and entertaining guests, meat is definitely an indispensable dish.

But instead of taking her to the vegetable station, the old lady led her around to the free market.

"Trial camp, don't go to the supply and marketing cooperative's vegetable station to buy vegetables in the future, you can come here directly."

That's right, as one of the first two provinces and cities to open up to the outside world, Anseong has seen the emergence of free markets, small vendors and self-employed individuals.

The free market is officially run and is quite lively.

The number of small vendors and self-employed is small, and most of them are in a wait-and-see mode.

As for the free market, except for some official stalls, the rest are random vendors.

Most of them are rural villagers who bring their own dishes that they can't eat, and they are reluctant to eat eggs, duck eggs, etc., in exchange for some money.

Jian Yuelan and the others were very lucky, and when they arrived at the free market, they were just in time for the official stall to pull meat to sell.

The first ones came out with pork, and the last ones came out with sheep.

Like beef, lamb is a rarity.

Jian Yuelan was sharp-eyed, and took a good position and directly bought half a sheep.

The main reason why you can buy half of them at a time is that mutton does not need meat tickets, but the price is higher than that of pork.

In addition, the sheep has a fishy smell, and many people can't stand the taste at the same time, and they are not sure that the mutton is delicious, so they choose pork.

In this way, Jian Yuelan picked up a leak.

But on the other hand, the good pork is gone, and the rest is leftovers, as well as a few pairs of water.

She is not interested in leftovers, the meat is too bad, and the leftovers used to entertain guests are really good to say that they are not good-looking.

So I asked for two pairs of water, ready to start the night work and brine it out.

Soak it overnight tomorrow to taste it, and the day after tomorrow, Ye Linxing and they will be able to take the lo-mei to school to add a meal to themselves.

This time I entered the school, and I couldn't get out of it if it wasn't a holiday.

The food in the school cafeteria is not much worse in today's conditions, and it is impossible to say how good it is.

So, it's not wrong to carry more food on their backs.

In the evening, the whole family sat down to eat together, followed Liu Chengqi, who had been busy all day, to look at the rich dishes on the table, and then looked at the meals that Jian Yuelan specially cooked for the elderly and children, and felt that his heart could be completely relaxed.

You can also go back to deal with your father and mother.

As far as the Ye family's younger siblings are concerned, not to mention that she is not her granddaughter-in-law, even if her granddaughter-in-law is not necessarily able to do this to the elderly in the family.

Looking at the second elder and the child who were smiling at the food, he took a sip of the wine in the cup and took Ye Linxing's hand. "Xiao Ye, you married a good daughter-in-law."
