"Come here, Four Girls and Five Girls, come to Daddy."
The two sisters hid in fear, grabbing Du Xiaoying's clothes, and occasionally poking their little heads out to take a look curiously, then immediately shrinking back.
Du Xiaoying smiled and touched her two daughters' heads. "They are timid and shy, but they will be fine once they get used to it."
Not missing the flash of disappointment in the man's eyes, Du Xiaoying pursed her lips and said, "Go to the cellar and see if there are any tools. You can work faster."
"Um."
Du Xiaoying exhaled slowly and waved her hand, "Let's go into the house and clean up. We should try to finish it before dark so that we can temporarily stay here."
The tightly closed wooden door was pushed open, and a thick cloud of dust blew in.
The house had been uninhabited for many years, and was covered in thick dust. There were spider webs of all sizes in every corner.
Du Xiaoying grabbed a handful of weeds and started sweeping the dust. "Daya, you and mommy should sweep the dust first. Erya, you should throw away the unused things first."
"Oh, I know, Mom."
The ten-year-old Sanya hurriedly said, "Mom, what should I do?"
Du Xiaoying met the eager eyes of her three sisters and smiled, "Call your dad to get some water. Once there's water, you can take your sisters and clean the place."
"Dad~"
After receiving the task, San Ya ran out immediately, leaving Si Ya and Wu Ya standing there holding hands.
"Fourth and Fifth Girls, stay away, you are all in disgrace."
"Oh~"

Song Guoliang found nothing in the cellar, so he had to fetch water. Fortunately, there was a well in the backyard.
"Wife, there are only some rotten boxes in the cellar, but no tools."
Du Xiaoying nodded. She had been mentally prepared from the beginning and did not feel disappointed. When the old landlord's family was overthrown, everything that could be taken away from the house was picked up and everything that could not be taken away was smashed.
Without any tools, the family of seven worked until dark before they could barely clean up a room.
Du Xiaoying lit a fire and cooked a big pot of sweet potato porridge, which was much thicker than the clear porridge she had eaten at the Song family before.
"Mom, why is the porridge so thick today?" Daya looked at the porridge in the pot, her little face wrinkled.
"It's the first day we move into our new home, so let's eat a little better. From now on, we'll be together as a family and work together to live a good life!"
"I've retired from the army, and I'm not leaving this time."
