Chapter 403 Moving to a New Home

The auspicious time to move on New Year's Day is three o'clock in the morning.

The family went to bed at eight o'clock in the evening and woke up on time at two-thirty in the morning. After brushing their teeth and washing their faces, everyone held something with good meaning in their hands and moved from the old house to the new house.

The custom of entering a new house is different from what Jiang Xia had seen on the Internet before.

Zhou's father was the first to go in. He was holding a cage of chickens and walked into the house first.

There were also two oranges, a red envelope and longan leaves tied to the chicken coop.

Zhou's mother was the second one to come in. She was carrying a load of water. Two oranges and a red envelope were also tied to the bucket. There were longan leaves and cypress leaves in the water.

Zhou Chenglei followed, carrying a basket, one end of which was filled with rice and the other end was filled with paddy.

Red envelopes, oranges and cypress leaves were also placed on the rice and paddy.

In his hands he also held two round winnowing baskets without holes, one large and one small, on which were also hung oranges and red envelopes.

Jiang Xia carried a basket containing an abacus, a scale, a mirror, a ruler, apples, grain seeds, coins, candies, pork, an oil lamp, cakes and other things, as well as a pair of new trousers for the couple.

Finally, Zhou Zhou was holding two sugarcanes with red envelopes tied to them.

In short, no one can enter the house empty-handed.

According to the custom, the things brought by the hostess Jiangxia to the new home were the most abundant, but fortunately they were not too heavy.

The heaviest load of food was carried by Zhou Chenglei.

When the family walked out of the old house, they saw Zhou Bingqiang's family approaching, each carrying a load of things on their shoulders, and everyone holding a flashlight in their hands.

Wen Wan took a look at Jiang Xia and took a look at what Jiang Xia had picked.

I found that the things everyone picked were similar, so they should be the same.

But their home was far away, and Wen Wan's shoulders were sore from carrying all the things! At this time, neither of them said hello to each other, nor could they say hello.

Everyone opened the gate and went into the house.

The family lined up to enter the house. Zhou Chenglei put down his burden as soon as he entered the house, turned around and took over Jiang Xia's burden: "Is it heavy?"

Jiang Xia: "It's not heavy. It's only a dozen meters away. I can get there in a few steps. I'm not afraid even if it's heavy."

No matter how heavy this burden is, she is willing to bear it several times! Zhou Chenglei was thinking of the house in the city. When he moved to the new house, Jiang Xia would still have to carry such a load of things up the stairs, which would not be as convenient as it is now.

He felt that these were unnecessary! The customs of entering a new house vary from place to place, so just bring in some things with good meanings.

When you move into your new home, just bring in what kind of life you want to live.

But his father and mother insisted on doing this.

Jiang Xia also said that we should follow the custom.

If he had done as he said, Jiang Xia wouldn't have to pick so many things.

He asked her to hold an apple in one hand and a candy in the other.

He hopes that she will be safe and healthy in her life and her life will be as sweet as sugar.

Mother Zhou said with a smile: "Okay, just go into the house, Xiaoxia, go back to your room and continue sleeping!"

Father Zhou picked up the oil lamp that Jiang Xia had brought in and placed it on the altar. Then he picked up the two pieces of pork and the cakes and said to Zhou Chenglei, "You can go back to sleep! Your mother and I will just put the things in order. A'lei, put the pair of baskets that Xiao Xia brought in in your room. Just leave them there for three days."

Jiang Xia responded: "Okay."

She looked at Zhou Zhou: "Zhou Zhou, why don't you go back to your room and sleep? Do you dare to sleep on the third floor alone?"

Zhou Zhou nodded: "I dare!"

Jiang Xia: "Come, auntie will take you upstairs to sleep."

Zhou Chenglei carried the load of things and went upstairs to his room with Jiang Xia and Zhou Zhou to continue sleeping.

Jiang Xia sent Zhou Zhou back to his room first, "Do you dare? Do you want to sleep on the second floor?"

Zhou Zhou looked at Jiang Xia in confusion: "Dare! Why not?"

Jiang Xia was just afraid that she would be scared alone. Seeing that she was really not afraid, he let her do what she wanted: "Then I'll stay here with you until you fall asleep, and then I'll go downstairs."

"No, little aunt, you should go to bed soon! I can't sleep if you're still talking to me."

Jiang Xia: "...Then I'll go downstairs and sleep first."

"good."

Jiang Xia left Zhou Zhou's room, leaving a bedside lamp on.

Then the lights in the hall and staircase were not turned off.

After Jiang Xia came downstairs, Zhou Zhou couldn't help but look around his room, touching the mattress, the bedside lamp, and the quilt cover.

This bed is so comfortable!

The quilt is beautiful too! The pattern on it is so cute!

The desk lamp is also very nice.

Zhou Zhou hid in the quilt, a little excited. He couldn't sleep and couldn't help rolling around. But he was a child after all, so he played for a while, closed his eyes, and fell asleep in a short while.

Zhou Chenglei came up to see her fifteen minutes later. Seeing that she was asleep, he turned off the lights and went downstairs to sleep.

At seven o'clock the next morning, Tian Caihua, my great-grandmother's family, and cousins ​​from the same village also came to help. Li Xiuxian also came back early in the morning to help.

The chef today is Uncle Dong. Usually when people in the village have weddings, they ask him to help with the cooking.

Zhou Bingqiang invited him first, but he refused and came to help the Jiang Xia family.

The braised pork should be stewed first, so Uncle Dong said, "Find two people to peel the taro first, and I will stew the braised pork first."

After Uncle Dong finished speaking, he went to process the pork.

He Xinghuan immediately said, "I'll do it!"

Tian Caihua said, "Second sister-in-law, go and peel the taro too!"

Li Xiuxian's face turned black. Tian Caihua did it on purpose. She knew that she was most afraid of peeling taro. Every time she peeled taro, her hands would be allergic and itchy. "I can't do this. I get allergic every time I peel taro."

Tian Caihua did this on purpose, of course. She guessed that Li Xiuxian would refuse, so she immediately said, "Then you and grandma can kill the chicken! I'll peel it."

Rather than killing chickens, Tian Caihua prefers peeling taro.

Li Xiuxian: “…”

She also doesn't like killing chickens because when plucking the chicken feathers, they are scalded by the boiling water and become so smelly!

And killing chickens is the most troublesome.

She just wanted to wash the vegetables or the dishes, but she came back late and someone else was already washing the vegetables and dishes. Someone else was already doing those simple, clean jobs.

Zhou Chengsen said, "Come and help me catch the chicken, and I will kill it."

Li Xiuxian had no choice but to go and kill chickens with Zhou Chengsen. After killing more than a dozen chickens, the skin on her hands was wrinkled and her whole body smelled of chicken shit and chicken feathers.

Li Xiuxian was just about to go back to the house to drink some water and take a rest when Tian Caihua said, "Second sister-in-law, go kill the fish quickly. It's too late. Uncle Dong is about to start frying the fish! It just so happens that you are the only ones free!"

Zhou Chengsen: “Okay!”

Li Xiuxian: “…”

Very good, in one morning, Li Xiuxian was successfully made fishy and smelly by Tian Caihua! Tian Caihua was very happy.

When the second wife moved to the new house, she was also doing the work of killing chickens and fish. Today, she finally got her revenge! *It was almost noon when two brand new green jeeps stopped outside the new house of the Jiang Xia family.

The car in front has not been registered yet.

Jiang Dong jumped out of the car.
