After resting for another day, Lu Shurui and his family decided to move.
In the morning, my brother-in-law specially borrowed a truck from his company and drove it over to help with the move.
There weren't many things; there was no need to move any furniture or anything. It was just the common items used by the family of six, with the majority being Lu Shurui's books.
After everything was loaded onto the truck, Yu Yin locked the door and took Lu Erjie and the others to their new home. Lu Shuqi and Lu Shurui followed the truck.
It's four bus stops away, one stop from Shanghai University, and two stops from An An An's school.
It's only a two-minute walk from the station. The children had already run over, while Yu Yin, her second sister, and Lu Shuyun walked slowly behind.
"arrive."
Yu Yin opened the door, and the children rushed inside first.
"Brother Zhuangzhuang, let me take you upstairs to see, there's a piano there too."
"OK!"
The children went inside, and the world became quiet.
"Yinyin, this is so spacious! The yard is so big, and there are even vegetables!"
Sister Lu was overwhelmed with choices, unsure whether to look at the mansion or the courtyard first.
“This area used to be all withered grass. We had someone dig it up several times and planted vegetables before we went to Beijing. Once they’ve grown well, you can come and pick some to take back.”
Yu Yin and the others planted cabbage, Shanghai bok choy, cilantro, spinach, shepherd's purse, garland chrysanthemum... all seeds left in the space, and so far, they are growing well.
Lu Shuyun wasn't interested in the vegetable garden; she saw the swing and the deck chair. As a child, she always wished her family had a swing, where she could wear a pretty dress and gently sway back and forth.
"Second sister, let me show you around, and then we'll go inside later."
Yu Yin led Lu Erjie slowly along the iron fence.
"Next spring, I plan to plant green beans all around here, so I won't need any trellises. I still prefer the Northeast green beans."
"Hmm, I've eaten there once, it was delicious. Oh, there's a row of houses behind that!"
Behind the courtyard wall, Yu Yin had Huang Qiang build a row of brick houses, similar to storefronts, which could be used as living quarters or warehouses. They were all ready, six rooms in a row, and each room was quite large.
Yu Yin thought that her yard was quite big, and since she planned to experiment with growing vegetables, she would need to find someone to take care of it, as she didn't have the time. She would also need to find a live-in housekeeper, preferably a couple, so they could live together in the backyard.
To the east of the building, there is Yu Yin's greenhouse, which is now empty.
Lu Shurui and the others arrived just as they came out of the greenhouse.
My second brother-in-law drove the car in and exclaimed how spacious the yard was!
There weren't many things, and the group carried them all in a few trips. Yu Yin didn't unpack them; she just put them all in the room on the first floor.
The others began their tour. Every room was tidy, the furniture was neatly arranged, and the curtains were all in place. The rooms were clean and bright, making it a pleasant place to be.
As Lu Erjie looked around, she sighed inwardly. If her mother saw this, she would be so upset. Such a nice house, and she couldn't move in.
Ah, life is all about fate!
Shu Rui is lucky to have met Yu Yin and have a good life. This is his good fortune, something others can only envy.
All the food at home was prepared. Yu Yin also bought a refrigerator and a washing machine. This was thanks to Brother Liang's connections. The transportation team went south and brought them back. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to get the tickets.
Yu Yin planned that when they went again, she would ask them to help her buy a large color TV, as she really couldn't stand the 14-inch black and white television. Yu Yin had thought it through; she had suffered a lot in her past life, so she would definitely enjoy herself in this one.
It was hot, so they didn't plan to make any complicated dishes. Yu Yin and Lu Erjie made some simple home-style dishes in the kitchen and bought a few main dishes from a nearby restaurant. If they hadn't been thinking about eating their first meal at home, they would have gone straight to the restaurant.
After the meal, Lu Erjie and the others left, leaving only Yu Yin's family of six.
"Alright, kids, put your things in your rooms and tidy up yourselves."
Yu Yin and her family all live on the second floor. Yu Yin and Lu Shurui live in the master bedroom, and the other four rooms have been chosen, one room for each of the children.
All the rooms on the first floor were empty, but one guest room was set up, which Yu Kang sometimes stays in. After returning from Beijing, Yu Kang went to visit West Lake with his classmates and will come back before the start of the new semester.
Lu Shurui and Yu Yin were each busy with their own things. Lu Shurui moved all the books to the study on the first floor and organized them little by little. He also bought some books in Beijing. Yu Yin took their clothes to the walk-in closet in the bedroom.
Looking at the empty walk-in closet, Yu Yin secretly thought to herself that she would definitely fill it up with all the clothes she liked in the future. For years, Yu Yin had always worn other people's discarded clothes and rarely had any new clothes of her own.
Having lived two lives, Yu Yin has too many regrets and too many injustices, which she is slowly making up for herself.
Yu Yin lay on the large bed in her bedroom, reflecting on her life over the past 30 years, which had been quite eventful.
Now, she has a harmonious family, a loving man, and four lively and lovely children. She should have no regrets in the future! Thinking about this, Yu Yin drifted off to sleep.
The four children's rooms are arranged as follows: Manman's room is next to the master bedroom, next to An'an's room, on the other side of the master bedroom is Kuai Kuai's room, and then Ping Ping's room.
There are two toilets on the second floor, each with a bathroom. You need to boil water and pour it in to take a shower.
Yu Yin said that An'an and Manman should use one, and Pingping and Kuaikuai should use one. As the children grow older, it's important to be mindful of the differences between boys and girls, especially for girls, who have many close-fitting garments.
The children are very self-reliant; they are quick and do things very well.
After packing their things, the children went downstairs to see if their father needed any help.
"Dad, do you need any help?"
"No need, Dad will organize it himself, so it won't be hard to find later. Also, the bookshelf on the east side of the study is for you to put your books in. You can put any books you want in there."
Lu Shurui took notes as he sorted through the books; many of them were very precious, and he was worried about the children.
"Dad, could you put a small bookshelf in our room sometime? We don't want to use the study on the first floor."
An'an made a request: she didn't like reading as much as Pingping, so a small bookshelf would be enough, conveniently placed in her room.
"Is that what you think too?"
"Yes."
Pingping loves reading, so having a bookshelf in her room is convenient, and she can arrange it according to her own preferences.
"Okay, Dad will go to the flea market tomorrow and buy you something suitable."
After the children finished making their requests, their father didn't need any help. They went up to the third floor to study the musical instruments, wondering if they could play any tunes.
The house was well soundproofed; the howling and wailing from the third floor didn't reach the downstairs neighbors. Otherwise, Yu Yin wouldn't be able to sleep at all; she'd be constantly disturbed in her dreams.
In the early 1980s, Yu Yin's family achieved housing freedom, with each person having their own room. Yu Yin's long-dreamed-of garden villa was now a reality, but her organic farm remained just a dream, and she didn't know when it would come true.
