Han Shuo frowned as he looked at the pot Meng Si Ning had brought. He surveyed the kitchen, then the old stove, and suggested, "This pot is too small, and the stove is too old. It's inconvenient to use. Why don't we find someone to build a new stove?"
Meng Si Ning looked around and saw that the stove was indeed quite old. He nodded in agreement and said, "Han Shuo, I'll trouble you to help me arrange it."
Sun Zhitian walked over to Meng Si Ning, enthusiastically pulling her along, and said, "From here, the main road is a hundred meters away. There's a community breakfast shop at the intersection, and there's also a restaurant next to it. Go out, and walk east along the breakfast shop for three hundred meters to the junior high school. Two intersections past the junior high school is the elementary school."
Hearing Sun Zhitian talking about school, Tao Jie slapped her forehead and remembered the phone call she received yesterday: "Ningning, I received a call yesterday from a primary school near the university. They said that if Siyun went to school there, not only would they arrange accommodation, but they would also provide accompanying allowances. You should consider it."
Meng Si Ning shook his head: "Mom, I thought about it on the way. Let's stick to the original plan and let him go to the nearby elementary school."
She felt that Lin Xiaodi would be excellent wherever he went, so it would be best if he was closer. She would wait until junior high school to choose a good one.
At this time, Han Shuo took over the conversation: "My cousin teaches at the affiliated primary school. She heard that Siyun won first place in the national mathematics competition. She was so excited that she couldn't wait to go to Siyun. They said that they can apply for admission at any time. Besides, my cousin happens to teach the graduating class and has rich teaching experience."
Meng Si Ning's eyes lit up: "Is that so? Then I'll take my little brother there tomorrow."
Han Shuo responded readily, "Okay, I'll come over early tomorrow morning and take you there."
Everyone worked together and quickly finished moving the things.
Lu Chi took two packs of cigarettes and handed them to Rong Bing, who was helping with the move. He said gratefully, "Comrade Wang, you've worked so hard today. Thanks for your help!"
Rong Bing took the cigarette, smiled and waved his hand: "This is my mission, no need to be so polite!"
Amidst everyone's thanks, Rong Bing and his group left.
Tao Jie suggested with a smile: "We have just moved into a new house and need to light up the pot. The whole family can have dinner here tonight."
Little Brother Lin couldn't wait to carry the rabbit and kitten into the house.
But as soon as they put it down, the soles of the little ones' feet were covered with dust, after all, there was still dirt from the move on the floor tiles.
Sun Zhitian was attracted by the scene of the rabbit and the kitten getting along, and curiously pulled Lin Xiaodi to ask: "Little brother, how come this little rabbit doesn't smell at all? Why is the kitten so round and cute?"
Lin Siyun nodded and said, "Xiaobai has been able to go to the toilet since he was young. When he was at home, Bai Xiaobai and Ponyo had their own separate spaces. Now we can only let them live together."
In the evening, the family sat around the table, and the table was filled with steaming hot food.
Lu Zhanting also came over after get off work. Seeing that the yard was tidy, he smiled and praised the two male comrades in the family.
He also asked Meng Si Ning about the situation on the road with concern.
While picking up some food for Meng Si Ning, Tao Jie said, "Ning Ning, let me tell you about the situation around here.
Go out the door and walk west to the intersection. There is a vegetable market. The vegetables there are fresh and cheap.
Lu Tang put down his bowl and chopsticks and added, "The supply and marketing cooperative is diagonally opposite the vegetable market. You can buy daily necessities there. It's very convenient. If you want to buy meat, there are several butcher shops at the back of the vegetable market. The owners are all very honest."
Sun Zhitian smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, when you have nothing to do on the weekend, we can go shopping together. I know a few places that sell good and affordable things."
Meng Si Ning nodded as he listened, and said gratefully, "Well, okay, thank you all for your help today. I feel much more at ease.
I'll have to trouble you all to take care of me and my younger brother in the future."
Little Brother Lin stuffed his mouth with food and mumbled, "It feels so lively here, I like it!"
The whole family couldn't help laughing when they saw how cute little brother Lin was.
After dinner, everyone chatted for a while before leaving.
Before leaving, Tao Jie did not forget to remind them to close the door at night.
"Mom and Dad, I will. Be careful on the road, Tangtang Han Shuo, and your second brother and sister-in-law too."
"You two should go back quickly. We are familiar with this place."
"good."
After seeing off his relatives, Meng Si Ning looked at their new home, took Lin Xiaodi's hand, and said, "Little brother, let's live a good life here from now on."
Brother Lin nodded vigorously.
"Come on, let's get dressed."
I have to say that my mother-in-law took good care of it and even made the beds for them.
They didn't have a lot of clothes.
Easy to organize too.
In fact, Meng Sining has a lot of clothes, but she put them all in her space.
I also took a part. Two big bags looked like a lot, mainly for my in-laws to see.
Otherwise, if she keeps changing her clothes every day and her in-laws see her, what if they accuse her of being a spendthrift?
"Sis, I'm done. Let me help you."
"Okay. You can help me pass these. Tomorrow we'll clean up the room next to the kitchen and give it to the rabbit and cat to live in."
Lin Siyun had thought of it a long time ago: "Sister, I looked at that room. There are coal balls, some firewood, and old wood in it."
"Well... the coal briquettes have to be stored somewhere. Your uncle Han said he'd bring some craftsmen over tomorrow. I'll ask if we can build a small shed next to the backyard then."
"Um."
Han Shuo arrived early the next morning.
Meng Si Ning and Lin Xiaodi packed up their things and followed Han Shuo to the affiliated primary school. They were received by Han Shuo's cousin, Chen Huiru.
"Lin Siyun, what a nice name. You should follow me from now on. I will be teaching the graduating class. There are five graduating classes in our school, and our class is the best in the grade.
Sister Siyun, please rest assured and leave Siyun to me. I will definitely take good care of her for you."
"You're Tangtang and Han Shuo's cousin, so my younger brother and I have to call you cousin too. With our relationship, I'm naturally relieved. You just arrived yesterday, and Han Shuo brought you here today."
Meng Sining's words made Chen Huiru very happy.
I hurriedly took them to the Academic Affairs Office and registered Lin Xiaodi.
Because of my brother's national competition certificate, the school waived all the textbook fees.
However, their class today happens to be Sunday, and Meng Si Ning said they should report next Monday.
Then he left with Han Shuo.
"Sister-in-law, the bricklayers I found will be here soon. You can tell them where to build the bricks. They are all experienced bricklayers. I won't be going over. I have to go back to work now."
"Okay, then drive slowly on your way back. I'll buy you some good food on Sunday."
"OK."
After separating from Han Shuo, Meng Si Ning rode a bike with Lin Xiaodi and got familiar with the surroundings along the way.
Not long after I got home, two bricklayers came.
Meng Sining told them his requirements.
