Sheng Xiping quickly pulled his daughter's hand away and got up.

"Daddy, I need to pee." Xin Yue turned around and pointed to her bed.

Sheng Xiping looked over and immediately cried out in pain, "My God, you two wet the bed!"

Sheng Xiping didn't care about anything else. He quickly climbed out of bed, opened the wardrobe door of the kangqin (a traditional heated brick bed), and rummaged through it for clothes to change the two girls.

"What happened? Oh dear, did you two wet the bed?"

Aunt Li was in the outer room when she heard the noise and came in. She saw that the two girls' underpants were soaked.

Usually, Aunt Li would sleep with Zhou Qinglan and her daughter in the east room. After Zhou Qinglan went to work, Aunt Li would watch over the two children and quickly help them urinate when they woke up.

Isn't Sheng Xiping back? Aunt Li just wanted Sheng Xiping to get some rest, so she didn't come over to disturb him.

Before I knew it, the two girls had wet the bed.

"Alright, Xiping, go wash your face and eat. I'll change their clothes. You're rarely home, so you can't find things."

This grown man acts like he can't see things when he's looking for them. Even though the thing is right in front of his eyelid, he just can't see it.

Seeing Sheng Xiping rummaging through the cupboard looking for the clothes the child needed, Aunt Li could only sigh and go over to do it herself.

Aunt Li took out two sets of shirts and trousers from the closet, and Sheng Xiping helped the two children take off their clothes and quickly put them on.

Then Aunt Li took apart all the bedding, draped the quilt covers and mattress covers over the heated wall to dry, and said that the quilt lining and covers would need to be washed later.

Sheng Xiping folded the couple's bedding and put it in the kang (heated brick bed), then swept the kang with a broom before washing his face and tidying up.

Just then, Aunt Li dressed the two children in cotton-padded jackets and trousers, and the food was served. The two of them coaxed Xin Yue and Xin Qi to eat breakfast.

These two girls were originally being fed a combination of breast milk and formula. In the fall, Zhou Qinglan was on duty and had to go to school very early in the morning and come back late at night, so she directly weaned the two children off breast milk and fed them formula.

Anyway, these two girls aren't picky eaters; they'll eat anything.

In the morning, they eat some steamed egg custard, millet porridge, noodles, etc. Around 9:30 or 10:00 AM, they drink milk powder. At noon, they eat lunch with the adults.

After lunch, take a nap, then have some formula. Dinner is followed by another bottle before bed, and that's how the day goes.

Zhou Qingyue arrived just as we finished eating and before we could even clear the table.

The two of them had already discussed it yesterday, and today they would go buy an outdoor antenna and set up an antenna pole, etc.

Zhou Mingyuan and Wang Chunxiu left for work in the morning, and Zhou Qingyue was so bored at home that she decided to visit her brother-in-law.

So the two of them went to a hardware store and bought an outdoor antenna, as well as a flat, flexible cable about one centimeter wide for connecting the antenna.

The two first went to the Zhou family's house, found a pole of suitable length, connected the outdoor antenna and the flexible wire, and then installed the outdoor antenna on the pole.

Finally, the wooden pole was tied to the base of the round cane post at the east end, and the antenna was thus erected.

Next, use a drill to drill a hole about the thickness of a little finger in the wooden window frame, and insert a soft wire through the hole to connect it to the television.

These days, CCTV mostly relies on local relay channels for broadcasting, and there's no signal during the day.

Zhou Qingyue excitedly turned on the TV, but after flipping through the channels, there was nothing to see, so he had to turn it off again in frustration.

"Okay, let's wait until tonight. Um, could you go find a flatbed cart? We can carry the refrigerator and washing machine upstairs together."

Last night, Wang Chunxiu said she wanted to move the refrigerator and washing machine upstairs.

It's best to place the washing machine where there's a drain; otherwise, after washing the clothes, you'll have to carry the water out, which is not convenient at all.

Most old houses don't have sewers, and most people use washing machines, which are moved to the yard in the summer and the dirty water is drained directly into the drainage ditch, which is convenient.

In winter, the washing machine becomes practically useless, since no one can go outside to wash clothes in the freezing cold.

How many years has this Zhou family's bungalow been around? Where is the sewer?

So Wang Chunxiu suggested that they move the washing machine upstairs, so that they could wash large items there, and leave the small, miscellaneous items at home to wash as they were less troublesome.

As for the refrigerator, it's not needed in the winter in a bungalow, so let's put it upstairs and freeze some things for use in the summer.

"Why don't our parents live upstairs? It's so much more convenient upstairs. Besides, it's warmer upstairs than in a bungalow."

Sheng Xiping and Zhou Qingyue carried the things upstairs, both of them panting heavily. Sheng Xiping said with great confusion.

"Mom thinks the upstairs space is too small and cramped, and Dad thinks it's too far from his workplace and not as convenient as the other side of Baishan Street," Zhou Qingyue said helplessly.

"Besides, my older brother and sister-in-law will come back to stay for the New Year, and my mother is worried that she will make too much of a mess upstairs and my sister-in-law will be unhappy."

Sheng Xiping nodded, agreeing.

Zhou Qingyang and Chen Jie's families are all here. Why don't they come back for a few days to reunite with their families during the Spring Festival?

If Zhou Mingyuan and his wife move upstairs, where will Zhou Qingyang's family stay when they come back?

"The house we live in now isn't very big, and it's low and cramped, and not bright at all."

If you ask me, wouldn't it be better to find another place and rebuild it from scratch? Wouldn't it be much better to build five rooms, bright and spacious?

The apartment allocated by the work unit was given to the eldest son for his wedding, and Zhou Mingyuan and his wife still live in the work unit's public housing.

The public housing was small, actually quite cramped. Anyway, in Sheng Xiping's mind, a house should be spacious and comfortable, and even just looking at it would make him feel good.
