Chapter 70 Chapter 70 Moving to a New Home

In fact, they didn't have many things, and Zhao Ruyue had already started to pack up some of the things that were not used frequently.

She had moved her winter clothes, quilts, blankets, and mattresses to her new home after the weather got warmer and they were no longer needed. They were temporarily placed in her son and daughter's closet during the holidays.

Now I only need to pack the clothes and daily necessities I use most, and packing is quick.

These days everyone doesn’t have many clothes, especially spring and summer clothes which are relatively light and thin and very easy to pack.

She rode her son's bicycle and finished moving everything in two or three trips.

After packing up the things that were easy to pack, Zhao Ruyue went to her mother's house and asked her brother and cousins ​​to help move the furniture.

The most troublesome thing to move was only her and Ning Shaoming's bed.

There was also the wardrobe set and dressing table that came with her as a dowry.

The bed had to be dismantled and moved to the new house and then reassembled.

The wooden boards of the combination cabinet cannot be disassembled, and the material used is very solid and heavy solid wood.

Only two or three men could move it out slowly, then put it on a tractor, transport it to the new home, and then slowly move it to her and Ning Shaoming's room.

The dressing table is easier to move than these two, but because it has a mirror, you have to be extra careful to avoid breaking it.

It was just after two in the afternoon when everything was moved.

Ning Shaoming went to buy some meat and vegetables in advance when there were no customers in the store.

Estimating the time it would take to finish moving the things, I cooked a few dishes to entertain the brothers from Zhao Ruyue's family who came to help with the move.

There were few customers in the afternoon, and by around three o'clock, there were almost no customers left.

Zhao Ruyue and Ning Shaoming simply hung up a sign to announce that the store was closed for the day, and had dinner with Zhao Ruyue's brothers who came from her mother's family to help.

No one at the table asked why Zhao Ruyue and Ning Shaoming moved suddenly. After all, every family has its own problems.

Everyone ate, drank and chatted, and when they were almost done they dispersed.

Before they left, Ning Shaoming packed up the hot dog buns he had reserved for them and gave each of them a few to take home for their family and children as a way of saying thank you.

At 4:30 during lunch, Zhao Ruyue went to the primary school gate.

Elementary school ends at 4:30, but she forgot that nowadays elementary schools have cultural and sports activities after school.

In fact, it just requires each class to send their own class leaders to go to the gym to get sports equipment, and each class organizes their own play.

There are shuttlecock kicking, badminton, table tennis, basketball, skipping rope, etc., and each class takes turns.

Zhao Ruyue arrived at the school gate and saw her son playing badminton with his classmates. She asked the security guard at the gate and then she remembered this matter.

Fortunately, if parents come to pick up their children early, students can leave early.

Zhao Ruyue thought that since she was already here, she might as well take the children back in advance to avoid the two children running back to the old house and getting anxious when they found that everything in the room was gone.

Ning Shiqiu had never attended preschool before and went directly to first grade at the age of six.

He was taken to and from school by his cousins ​​and neighbors' brothers and sisters, and had never been picked up by his parents.

It was quite novel to hear his mother coming to pick him up.

He gave his racket to another classmate, packed up his things and ran to the preschool area to find his sister.

The preschool teacher was a little worried, so she followed them all the way to the school gate and confirmed that it was indeed their mother who came to pick up the children before she felt comfortable handing the children over to her.

Ning Shixia didn't understand anything, she just knew that she was very happy that her mother came to pick her up.

She jumped up and down holding her mother's hand.

"Mom, will you come pick us up again in the future?"

Looking at the expectant eyes of the two children, Zhao Ruyue thought for a moment and said, "When the store is not busy one day, your father and I will take turns to pick you up."

Ning Shixia cheered: "That's great!"

Ning Shiqiu also pursed his lips, with a bright smile on his face.

Back at the new house, Zhao Ruyue asked them to clean up the room themselves.

She had already made the bed and put away the large items.

All the thick winter clothes and quilts that were originally temporarily placed in the closet in their room were moved to the closet in her and Ning Shaoming's room.

The two children only need to pack their personal belongings according to their own preferences.

This was a first experience for both Ning Shixia and Ning Shiqiu.

The two of them excitedly put down their schoolbags, said hello to their uncles, and quickly ran back to their rooms to start packing.

Zhao Ruyue didn't care how they cleaned it or whether the room was messy or not.

Anyway, as long as they like it and can find their own things later.

The two children treated this as a game and played it so much that they forgot to eat and sleep.

In the past, when Ning Shiqiu got home, he would always finish the homework assigned by the teacher first, and at the same time supervise his sister to finish her homework, and then he would go out to play with his friends.

Today even he completely forgot that he had homework.

It was not until Zhao Ruyue saw that it was getting darker and the two children still didn't remember to eat that she went into their room and took them out that they realized they were hungry.

"It's so fun!" Ning Shixia said as she ate, still unsatisfied, "Can we still clean up the house tomorrow?"

Zhao Ruyue couldn't help laughing at her words: "Starting tonight, you will live in your own room. Not only tomorrow, but also the day after tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, you can tidy up the room however you want."

Ning Shiqiu asked in surprise: "Mom, are we moving?"

"Didn't your mother tell you on the way back?" Ning Shaoming looked at Zhao Ruyue. He thought she had told you, and that was why the two children were so happy.

Zhao Ruyue really forgot to say it, but it's not too late to say it now: "From today on, we will officially move to the new house. When the family divided up the house we lived in before, your grandparents gave it to your second uncle's family. From now on, this will be your second uncle's house."

After she finished speaking, she looked at the two children's reactions nervously, worried that they had feelings for their previous rooms and would be sad because of this.

But for children, no matter it is a new house or an old house, only the house where their parents are is their home, and only then will they have a sense of belonging.

The two children had been mentally prepared to move since their family started building a new house.

After hearing her words, they cheered happily.

Zhao Ruyue looked at their happy faces and knew that her worries were completely unnecessary.

After dinner, Ning Shiqiu finally remembered that he still had homework to do.

He grabbed his sister who was about to run back to her room after finishing her meal and wanted to continue tinkering with her room: "Do your homework first."

Zhao Ruyue became worried when she saw this, fearing that her daughter would get angry and the two children would start quarreling.

As a result, my daughter was not angry at all. She nodded obediently and went to do her homework with her brother.

Because they had to do their homework together, the two children did not go to their own rooms but went to the study together.

But as soon as Ning Shiqiu sat down and put his hands on the table, he felt that this desk and chair were very suitable for them.

Studying at a dedicated desk feels very different from writing on a box, a chair, or the dining table at home.

Ning Shiqiu couldn't describe the feeling, he just felt that he didn't have to worry about sore neck, waist and back from lying down for too long, and sitting was very comfortable.

There is also a desk lamp on the table. When it is turned on, the light is brighter than the bulb in the old house, but not dazzling.

He used to read in the old house, but the light was too dim and his eyes would feel sore after reading for a while.

All this made him very happy and made learning more interesting.

Ning Shixia was young and didn't understand these things. She was only thinking about finishing her homework quickly and then going back to clean up her room.

With such an anxious mood, she had no patience when she started writing and wrote the new words assigned by the teacher crookedly.

Ning Shiqiu withdrew his attention from the table, chairs and desk lamp.

As soon as he saw his sister's handwriting, he immediately frowned: "Why is your handwriting so messy? You are not allowed to write like that. The teacher said that handwriting reflects the person. Do you want to grow up like that?"

After saying that, he still had a stern face and asked his sister to go back to work.

Zhao Ruyue, who was sitting nearby calculating accounts and watching them do their homework, suddenly became anxious again.

As a result, it was another false alarm. The impatient little girl scratched her head and looked at the messy words she had written, feeling a little embarrassed.

She stuck out her tongue and said, "I will definitely be able to write well if I work hard. I will be beautiful and powerful in the future, like the female warriors on TV, who can kill people with one swipe of a sword."

After she finished speaking, she actually calmed down and painted carefully, stroke by stroke.

Zhao Ruyue took a quick glance at it and found that her daughter's writing was indeed very good after she got serious.

It turns out that they have been practicing calligraphy so seriously since they were young. No wonder when they grew up, almost everyone praised their handwriting for being beautiful.

Zhao Ruyue lowered her head and looked at the account book in front of her.

The children can take care of their own studies. She has no experience in this area and it’s good enough that she doesn’t hinder them. She can’t be of much help.

In that case, she will try her best to create a better environment for them in other areas.

Zhao Ruyue turned her gaze back to the account book.

There were a lot of customers on the first day, which made her and Ning Shaoming very tired, but the rewards were also generous.

Because there is no rent, water and electricity costs are so cheap that they are almost negligible.

At the end of the day, after deducting the costs, I made a little over three hundred yuan.

This amount of money may not be a big deal in the city, but it is really good in their small town where prices are not high.

It was just the right timing yesterday, as market day coincided with the students returning to school.

Today there is not that much. After deducting the cost, there is only a little over a hundred, almost two hundred.

After that, no fried eggs will be delivered, so the price may drop a little on ordinary days.

But if nothing unexpected happens, there should be more than a hundred every day.

This income is almost five to ten times what ordinary people earn in the town!

As there are no market days yet, Zhao Ruyue has carefully and in detail recorded what day it is. When she remembers more and summarizes them, she will be able to estimate how much she can earn every month.

However, the money earned every month is not constant. The weather is warm now, but not as hot as midsummer, so fried rice noodles and boiled rice noodles are selling better.

When summer comes, the menu will have to change.

Zhao Ruyue thought about it and wrote this down in her memo, and would discuss it with Ning Shaoming later.

They have to prepare in advance and not wait until things happen and their business is affected before rushing to make changes.
