I Reached the Pinnacle of Life in the 60s by Raising Children

Li Qingyun transmigrated into a book she had read, becoming the male supporting character's early-deceased, vicious biological mother. She took on the responsibility of caring for and educating...

Chapter 169 Arrangement

In the morning, Li Qingyun brought Dabao and they cleaned the house to ensure that it was spotless.

Seeing the bright windows at home, she remembered that there was a piece of cloth in her space that matched the style of her home very well. She could use it to make a few curtains and hang them up to block the sunlight in summer and the wind in winter. They also looked beautiful at other times.

You can also use fabric of the same color to make a coffee table cloth, which looks more literary and romantic.

In the past, it was not easy to decorate your home in a bourgeois style in the village, but now that you live in a military area, it doesn’t matter.

She can finally decorate her own home according to her own preferences.

I got down to work right away, found a tape measure, and with Dabao's help, measured the sizes of the windows and the dining table and coffee table in my house.

The fabrics for the dining table and coffee table only need to be cut according to size, and then the edges can be locked and laid directly.

The curtains are a little bit troublesome. Just cut the cloth, sew it up, and find a thin rope to pass through, and a simple curtain is ready.

In a miscellaneous drawer, she found the nails and other tools left over from when Gu Tingzhou made the swing.

Nail the nails on both sides of the window and hang the rope, and a simple curtain is ready.

The curtains in the main room and the tablecloths and coffee table cloths are the same color. With this combination, the house actually feels warmer and more charming.

Following the same method, she also hung curtains in the three rooms. Her and Gu Tingzhou's room was a light champagne color, and Dabao's future room was a light sky blue color that he chose himself.

As for the last room, if nothing unexpected happens, it will belong to Erbao in a few years. Li Qingyun made the decision and chose a light green color, which looks very fresh.

With this arrangement, the whole room looks more lively.

Li Qingyun suddenly remembered a friend who made a lot of money by making micro-landscapes. She was quite envious at that time, but it was okay for her to make bonsai, but it was still impossible for her to make a living from it.

If you make one or two micro landscapes and match them in the main room, it should create a nice atmosphere.

It is actually not too difficult to create this kind of micro landscape if you don’t pay too much attention to perfection.

So she picked and chose in the space and found two ceramic basins that had been used to store things, one large and one small.

It looks old, with a dated feel, but it fits the theme better.

I took Dabao outside and found a dark corner to look for moss, and then started shoveling.

Take away the beautiful stones, take away the sand and soil, take away the beautiful grass and moss, take them all away.

I returned home and simply put together and tidied up the various things I had picked up, and they turned into two micro-landscapes with a very atmospheric feel.

Li Qingyun placed the smaller pot on the coffee table in the main hall, and the larger pot was placed on the antique shelf at the door, so that it could be seen as soon as you entered.

This antique display cabinet looks like a good thing, but due to the limitations of the times, there is nothing that can be placed on it, and only some vulgar items are placed on it.

There are no flowers to decorate, but this way we can bring some greenery into the house, which is particularly pleasing to the eye.

Of course, this is for those who know how to appreciate it.

Now that the main room has been decorated, the courtyard cannot be neglected either. She dug out a string of wind chimes that she had bought at a scenic spot before from the space, removed the modern decorations on it, and it turned into an original shell wind chime.

Hanging in a corner of the pavilion, when the breeze blows, a crisp and pleasant sound of collision is heard.

If I had a recliner, in the spring, I could lie here and read a book, and fall asleep slowly listening to the sound of wind chimes. It would be a great blessing in life.

The bare hemp rope swing was also decorated with her handmade velvet flowers.

Dabao was tired of playing on the swing yesterday, but when he saw it looked brand new, he became interested again and sat on it and swung back and forth.

The second baby was also babbling in the baby chair, calling his brother, and seemed to want to try what it felt like to swing on the swing.

Fortunately, I brought the baby chair with me into the space, and it’s now very useful.

When something happens, put the child in there and give him a toy, and he can play with it for a long time.

After Li Qingyun's skillful decoration, the whole courtyard looks more cozy.

The only thing is that the open space on one side is bare, which seems a bit out of place. But there is nothing we can do about it. This piece of land is reserved for private use. When the weather gets better, we will plow the soil and sow seeds.

At noon, the mother and son had a simple meal of buns and hot milk. After taking a nap, they started preparing dinner.

Li Qingyun took out the set of bowls and plates from her own space and used them as today's tableware.

The tableware looks retro, but it is very distinctive and matches the style of the home.

When brothers get together, wine is definitely indispensable. Just pour the white wine bought in the space into the wine pot, and no clues will be seen.

Of course, women must also have drinks.

The wild grapes she picked in the mountains last year have turned into a jar of delicious wine, which she has treasured in her space. It finally came in handy today.

It was her mother Gu who taught her how to make this wine. Speaking of mother Gu, she should write a letter back to let her know she is safe when she has time.

Erbao was sleeping, so Li Qingyun sent Dabao to the yard, keeping an eye out for anyone coming to the house and calling her immediately.

She had enough time to react and bring out the dishes from the space.

She had just put the Mapo Tofu on the stove when Dabao called out from the yard, "Mom, someone's coming."

Li Qingyun hurriedly put out the dishes and steamed buns she had prepared and placed them on the table.

The first person to arrive was Jiang Fan’s wife Bai Yu.

"Sister-in-law, what did you cook? It smells so good, and it tastes both spicy and numbing.

Did I disturb you? This kid can't sit still at home and insists on coming over to see his brother. I brought him over to play for a while." Bai Yu said a little embarrassedly.

Even an eagle-like woman has to submit to her son in the end.

Li Qingyun quickly called Dabao over to call for help.

"Dabao, this is brother Taotao. Taotao, this is brother Dabao. You two should shake hands. You will be good friends from now on."

The two looked at each other curiously, but were not opposed to shaking hands. They touched each other's hands and quickly separated.

Taotao noticed the swing in the yard as soon as he entered the door. However, due to his family education, he was afraid to sit on it when he was at someone else's house without his mother's permission.

Li Qingyun noticed the boy's fascinated look and quickly came to his rescue: "Dabao, take your brother to swing for a while. Be careful."

"Okay, Mom, let's go." The two little guys went to play together happily.

Bai Yu reminded him a little worriedly: "Taotao, slow down!"

"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry to bother you. If you need any help at home, I can help you.

I'm not very good at cooking, but I can definitely wash and cut vegetables." Bai Yu rolled up her sleeves and prepared to go into the kitchen to help.

It seems that she has rarely been in the kitchen at home. I think her family must be very good, which is why she has developed such a straightforward and generous personality without any affectation, which makes people like her very much.

Li Qingyun quickly pulled her back: "Don't get involved, I'm almost done, just play with the child."

Bai Yu touched his head awkwardly and smiled: "That's so embarrassing."
