Lin Shugan placed his homework books one by one on the desk, his eyes full of excitement.
In fact, the desk was only half the size of the original dining table, and the dining table was a square table with eight seats. But when the children did their homework, four people shared the table. Compared with now when one person occupies a desk, there is a world of difference.
There are two drawers under the desk, so he can put all his new notebooks and pens! They no longer have to be piled up with the toy guns of the third child!
Lin Shuchao was jumping up and down in his room. He only had a few sets of clothes, which he stuffed into the closet in a mess. There was a school bag thrown on the desk, and he had no intention of tidying it up at all.
He was practicing Shaolin stick techniques with a toy gun in his left hand and a stick in his right hand. When he was tired, he would roll around on his new bed.
Even though there was no bedding on the bed, only wooden boards filled with the smell of wood, he still rolled around with great excitement.
He finally has his own bed! No more being criticized by his brother for sleeping in a bad posture or farting in the covers!
Lin Shumei put her hairbands and hairpins neatly into the drawers of her desk. There were two drawers, one for accessories and the other for school supplies, so she didn't miss out on either.
There are also her dolls, not many, only two or three, but they can be placed on the bed peacefully and openly, instead of being despised by her grandmother for having to make room for the dolls when there is no place for people to sleep.
Well... I'll have to go back with my dad to grind a mirror when the time comes, and be prepared to be laughed at by my third brother for being vain.
I wonder if there are new sheets and quilt covers. There should be some, otherwise there wouldn’t be so many sheets and quilt covers for them at home. She wants pink ones!
The four children's rooms are actually arranged in the same way: a bed, a bedside table, a desk, a large wardrobe, and that's it. Even with these few things, the four of them still haven't had enough of looking at them.
There are four rooms, three facing south and one facing north. There was no other way, the house was so small, so we finally chose the room by drawing lots.
Shumei drew the one facing north, and curled her lips, thinking that she was not very lucky. But when Shuying said she wanted to change with her, she hid the paper she had drawn behind her back.
"No, that won't work. Whichever you choose by drawing lots is the one. My sister is from the south, so she has to live in the south. Otherwise, it won't be fair." After saying that, he carried his things to the north room.
Chen Chunhua rolled her eyes to the sky. She believed that if the third child said that he wanted to exchange the north room with the youngest child, she would definitely not hesitate for a second, and would even add that it was the puppy who regretted it.
Of course, even if you beat the third brother to death, he wouldn't be able to do such a thing.
The space upstairs belongs to the children. In addition to the four rooms, there is also an area divided by Chen Chunhua into two bathrooms, although the village still cannot use flush toilets.
The children are older now and have a sense of gender. Even if it's a wooden toilet, they have to be separated. There's no flush toilet, but the water outlet and drain pipe are still installed, and the water can be directly discharged to the back of the yard.
This way, girls can take a shower in the upstairs bathroom, but they have to carry the water upstairs. But both sisters said that it’s okay, they can do it!
There is a platform in the middle of the stairs from the first floor to the second floor. Although it faces north, they have no neighbors on either side. The building is also the tallest in the village. No matter east, south, west or north, there is no need to worry about lack of sunshine. If they want to dry something, this platform is very convenient.
The first three rooms on the first floor were the main hall in the middle, with Lin Guoqing and Shen Chunhua's rooms to the left and Liang Shengdi's room to the right. The last three rooms, through the middle of the main hall, were the stairwells. The right side was currently vacant, and the left side was the bathroom.
The first-floor bathroom was in the same location as the two small bathrooms upstairs. There was also a door leading directly from Chen Chunhua's room to this bathroom. Although there was no running water or flush toilets yet, this location had to be reserved. Once the village had access in a few years, she would install them!
The furniture in the two rooms on the first floor was all new, including the beds. The only difference from the upstairs rooms was that the beds on the first floor were a bit bigger. Liang Shengdi occupied a double bed by herself, and once she lay down she didn't want to get up.
"Why is my closet so small?" Liang Shengdi lay on the wooden bed and pointed at the wardrobe against the wall. This was the one Sun Defa and Lin Guoqing had just moved into.
Lin Guoqing wiped his sweat and looked at his mother speechlessly.
"How is it small? It's the same size as the four kids' closet upstairs. It's 1.5 meters wide!"
"The room I just saw in yours is very big."
Lin Guoqing: "...Mom, it's just the two of us."
"Oh, I forgot." Old Mrs. Liang smacked her lips. Sorry, it was the first time she lived in such a big room and such a big bed, and she felt a little dizzy.
There was no desk in her room, but there were two bedside tables and a wicker lounge chair. Well, the old lady originally wanted to make it herself, but she had pulled back the wood.
But apart from weaving, she was really not good at making chairs. After struggling for a long time, Lin Guoqing couldn't stand it anymore and spent money to buy her a chair, and also bought her a small wicker coffee table.
Liang Shengdi's room has a door facing south that leads directly to the outside. When the door is opened, she can drag the chairs and coffee table under the eaves, fulfilling her dream of lying on them and eating while basking in the sun.
In Lin Guoqing and Shen Chunhua's room, in addition to the double wardrobe and bed, there is also an eight-drawer chest and a double desk.
Chen Chunhua said that one of them is a section chief with some education, while the other is illiterate and still learning to read. As they earn more money, they may become more educated and need the table more and more.
For example, she has to do some accounting from time to time, so a desk is very necessary.
So much furniture had been put in, and there was still a table missing? Lin Guoqing had no objection and put them all in.
As for the kitchen, it was moved directly into the two bungalows on the left side of the courtyard gate, and the kitchen and the dining room were directly connected. The original square eight-immortal table was moved in and covered with a round table top that was only placed when guests came.
The children are growing up, especially Lin Shugan. Maybe it's because he joined the track and field team, but he has become much stronger and tougher. The eight-immortals table can no longer accommodate two people at each side.
The kitchen is still equipped with a large wood-fired stove, but it used to have only one large iron pot, but now it has two. Lin Guoqing said that if the children get married early, the sons-in-law and daughters-in-law will sit together to eat, and one pot will definitely not be enough.
Lin Guoqing really was thinking about having more children in the future all day long, even though the eldest was only 15 years old.
The other pots, pans, and utensils were also moved in one after another, but they couldn't live here today, and they couldn't even eat here. The incense burner of the Kitchen God was still in the old house, so they still had to stay in the old house tonight.
