The couple, one named Dai Yong and the other named Liu Xiaolan, live in the nearby countryside.
They came to find Lin Xi this time because they suspected that something dirty had entered their home!
This story begins a year ago.
In 2002, Dai Yong and Liu Xiaolan returned to their hometown and built a country house with the support of their children.
Although the couple were born in the countryside, they left home to work very early and worked hard in big cities.
After working hard for so many years, I also bought a house in the city.
Before I retired, it was naturally more convenient to live in the city.
But a few years ago, the couple retired one after another, and their lives suddenly became free. It was really boring to stay at home all day.
As for traveling, the couple is not very interested and thinks it is too troublesome to go out.
Perhaps when people reach a certain age, the farming gene will eventually awaken, and the couple is more interested in growing flowers and vegetables.
The more they watched videos of farming and growing vegetables, the more addicted they became. The couple decided to just go back to the countryside to retire.
There are fields and land in the countryside, the air is fresh, and they both can drive, so their retirement plan is perfect.
Apart from the fact that the house in their hometown had collapsed many years ago and needed to be rebuilt, there was no other flaw to be found.
The couple thought about it for a while and discussed it with their children. They thought their children would find it troublesome to go back to their hometown to renovate the house, but they didn't expect that their children would fully support their decision.
According to them, the rural life now is comfortable and not at all like the hardship in the past. They can go back to their hometown to spend their holidays and grow vegetables together, which is so pleasant.
Everyone in the family supported returning to their hometown to build a house, so Dai Yong and his wife naturally didn't hesitate at all and started working right away.
The original idea was to completely demolish the collapsed old house and build a new one on the original foundation.
But when Dai Yong looked at the collapsed old house, he couldn't help but recall his childhood.
Even though only broken walls and ruins remained of the mud house, he actually still didn't want to see the place where he used to live being completely covered up, as if the time he had experienced in the past had been completely wiped out, leaving nothing behind, as if it had disappeared forever.
His wife Liu Xiaolan can also understand her husband's feelings.
There weren't many people left living in their village. Although many houses were still there, most of them had moved to the city.
So there is actually no shortage of residential land around here.
So the couple simply went to the village committee to inquire about the situation and see if they could be approved for a new residential plot to build a house elsewhere.
After the village committee learned about their situation, they readily allocated them a new piece of land.
However, some of the more remote areas have already been selected, and only some remote areas, perhaps some areas near the foot of the mountain and uncultivated wasteland, are left to choose from.
But when Dai Yong and Liu Xiaolan heard this, they were not disappointed, but quite happy instead.
Because there are fewer residents in the village, no one cultivates the land of each household, and naturally no one wants the wasteland.
If they lived in a more remote area, they could reclaim the nearby wasteland and grow their own vegetables, raise chickens, etc.
The vegetable garden is right at my doorstep, how convenient!
They asked the village chief and learned that if they were willing to reclaim the wasteland for cultivation, the villagers would not object but would strongly support them.
After all, returning farmland to forest is no longer popular now, and we have started to return forest to farmland.
There are too many wastelands in their village. During a previous meeting, the town leaders asked them to find ways to make use of the wasteland.
At this time, Dai Yong and Liu Xiaolan planned to reclaim wasteland to grow vegetables. The village committee was very happy and approved a large piece of land for them, which was enough for them to build any villa.
The land allocation went smoothly, and the subsequent house construction also went smoothly.
We started working on it at the beginning of the year, and the house was completed by the middle of the year.
But the couple thought that after the house was renovated, they had to ventilate it first to get rid of the smell before they could live in it, so they delayed it for a few more months, and only in November of the following year were they ready to move in.
The whole family has decided to celebrate the Chinese New Year in the new house.
The new house has three floors. Dai Yong and his wife and their two children each have a floor, which makes it very spacious and comfortable for the whole family to live in.
Because the children would not have their holiday until around the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, Dai Yong and his wife moved into the small villa, planning to arrange everything and prepare New Year's goods, waiting for the children to come back for the New Year holiday.
During the first two days after moving into the house, the couple liked every aspect of it and were extremely happy to live in it.
After just two days of living there, they suddenly felt that something was inexplicably wrong in the house.
