"Okay, if you don't want to talk about it, then I won't ask. Have you two finished learning the characters for today?"
Chunxiao let them do whatever they wanted, but she was very strict about studying. When the two heard this, they immediately felt overwhelmed. "Well, Miss, we're almost there. Please give us another half hour and come back to check after half an hour."
"Okay, I'll give you half an hour."
The next day, Chunxia went to find a carpenter and asked him to move all the furniture out of the room in the second courtyard. He wanted two beds, as well as the two beds in her main courtyard, which had been moved out before and had never been replaced. He also asked Xingfu to go to town to buy four mattresses. Now that the weather was getting warmer, there was no need for two quilts. Naturally, Xingfu took the responsibility of making the sheets and quilt covers herself.
Xingfu told Chunxiao that she would pay for the mattress and cloth, and that Chunxiao should not be asked to pay for it. Chunxiao and Meiman laughed at her.
"Some people keep saying it has nothing to do with them, but you see, at a time like this, they're making such a clear distinction."
"Miss, in your heart, we are already a family. You are just being stubborn."
"Yes, I saved 300 coins for her every month for free. You should thank me."
"Oh, miss, please stop making fun of me." Xingfu was so embarrassed by the endless chatter from the two people that she simply ignored them and went back to her room to make the quilt cover.
By the 20th, the farm was so short of manpower that she hired 50 regular workers from the village to help weed the fields every day. By March 23rd, all the carpentry work in Yard 1 was complete.
Carpenters began to move into Yard No. 2.
At the end of the month, Xingfu went to the county town to pick up Zhao Shitou and his family of three. On the day of their arrival, Zhao Shitou was very happy, but Zhao An was very nervous. Zhao Shitou's mother sat on the soft bed, feeling very emotional. She held Zhao An's hand and said, "Xiao An, your second uncle has worked hard to find a job like this. You have to work hard and never give up this job."
"I understand, Grandma."
The old woman touched his head and asked, "What's this place like? Is it in the countryside? How's the house we live in? Is it better than the one we lived in before?"
"Grandma, this place is great. The room we live in is very clean. There are new cabinets, tables, chairs, and benches. The quilts on the beds are all new. There are two beds. We live in a small courtyard. The courtyard is also very clean and beautiful. There are many rooms. Now our family lives here. Grandma, this place is great."
"Then you have to work hard. Your second uncle said that if you work hard, our rent and meals will be free, and you will be making a lot of money for the family."
The boy smiled and nodded, "I will definitely do my job well." He was finally no longer a burden and could help his family. Although the unfamiliar environment made him nervous, he was sure that he could do his job well.
