Chapter 116 To be honest, this house was bought, right?
Soon it was the sixth day of the first lunar month. Jiang Xinbai and his wife, who had not slept well the whole night, opened their eyes before dawn.
"Jinsheng, have you asked your colleagues to save all the meat?" Jiang Xinbai asked worriedly, as they were going to have a moving meal in the courtyard at noon today.
"Of course, I've already talked to them. Although we haven't started work yet, the pig is still there! Everything that needs to be bought has been prepared, and absolutely nothing is missing." It was the first day of cooking in the new home, and Yang Jinsheng was very attentive and had already prepared all the necessary ingredients.
"Okay, then get up. We'll slowly move the things over there." Jiang Xinbai gritted his teeth and got out of the warm bed in one go, quickly putting on his clothes while shivering.
Yang Jinsheng also got out of bed and said with a smile: "Hehe, when winter comes, it's hard to put on clothes. I really want to stay with the bed forever!"
"Who said it wasn't? It's really uncomfortable. I heard that there is such a thing as heating in the north that the whole bed is warm. Why don't we have it here?" Jiang Xinbai is afraid of heat when it's hot, and afraid of cold when it's cold. Getting up early every morning is a torture for her.
"That's because it snows a lot there, so it's definitely colder than here."
"Hiss, but I think it's already very cold here. I can't imagine how cold it is in the north." Jiang Xinbai said as he deliberately glanced at his son who was sleeping in the corner and tucked the quilt in for him.
Sun Erni also got up early and cooked a pot of porridge. She asked Jiang Xinbai and the others to sit down, "Hurry up and eat. Xiaobao is not awake yet! I will take him to Xiumin's room later. Otherwise, you will disturb him when you pack up."
"Well, thanks, Mom. You'll have to take care of Xiaobao today. Jinsheng and I will move the things back to the yard first." In fact, there weren't many things, and they could be moved in two or three trips.
"Jinsheng, Xinbai, get up. I'll help you move the cabinet to the yard." Zhao Yita rubbed his hands, exhaled a breath of white air and said with a smile.
Jiang Xinbai waved his hand hurriedly and said, "Brother-in-law, we don't need you. It's just a few things. We can move them quickly."
"No, that won't work. Your second sister specifically asked me to get up early to help. Why are you still being polite to me? Do you want to move now?" Zhao Yita came here on a mission from his wife, so how could he just leave without doing anything?
"Yitai, have you had breakfast? Auntie will serve you a bowl of porridge." Sun Erni said as she was about to get up and go to the kitchen to serve porridge.
Zhao Yitai quickly stopped her and said, "Aunt Sun, no need. I came down after eating. You don't have to worry about it. Hehe, are you still worried about not having food to eat today? Jinsheng will treat me to a good meal at noon."
"That's for sure. We will definitely treat you to a moving dinner."
"Okay, brother-in-law, let's take this cabinet down!" Yang Jinsheng said, pointing to the cabinet where clothes were kept in the room.
Because the room is small, the cabinet was made smaller when it was first built. Now it really can’t hold the clothes of three people, but it can be used to store clothes for Xiaobao.
"Okay, go ahead. You go ahead."
Jiang Xinbai also followed to the courtyard, and the pork that had been reserved was delivered, with an extra pig's trotter.
"Jinsheng, go buy two pieces of tofu later."
"Oh, I see. Xiaobai, I calculated that we should set up two tables today. Have you decided what dishes to make?"
Jiang Xinbai glanced at the food in the kitchen and said with a smile, "Red-braised pork, red-braised tofu, fried radish balls, stewed chicken with potatoes, fried pork liver, and stir-fried vegetables. Six dishes are enough."
"What about the staple food?"
"Cook rice and add some whole grains."
"Okay, I'll go buy some tofu first and come back to wash the vegetables later. The water is cold, so don't move. Be careful not to get frostbite again." After saying that, Yang Jinsheng picked up a plate and left.
Jiang Xinbai glanced at the cold water in the bucket and couldn't help shivering. He knew how cold it was before he even got into the water.
"Xiaobai, are you home?" Jiang Xinlan's voice came from the front yard. She asked as she walked towards the backyard. When she saw Jiang Xinbai, she smiled, "I knew you were here. Mom and Dad are here. They are in the front yard!"
When Jiang Xinbai heard that her parents were here, she wiped her hands quickly, walked through the living room to the front yard, and said with a smile: "Dad, Mom, why are you here so early? Where are my eldest brother and second brother? Why aren't they here?"
Chen Cui'e and Jiang Youtian were talking to a bare tree in the yard. When they heard their little daughter's voice, they immediately turned around and said with a smile, "What are they doing here? I didn't ask them to come. By the way, Xiaobai, is this tree a pear tree?"
Jiang Xinbai was sidetracked by this and took a closer look at the tree in front of him. "I really don't know. The landlord didn't tell me. I was planning to chop it down for firewood, but now that you mentioned it, I'll keep it. If it's really a pear tree, I can still eat the fruit in the fall!"
"It looks similar, but it's hard to tell without the leaves."
"Well, never mind that. Dad, Mom, take a look at my yard." Jiang Xinbai looked at his parents with pride. They had tidied up the yard so well that no one could say anything bad about it.
Chen Cui'e nodded as she looked at it. "It looks good. We can leave some land in the front yard to grow something. In your city, even a scallion costs money. It's more cost-effective to grow something yourself. I also brought you the seeds."
"That's great. I was just wondering when I'd go to the seed store to have a look. Mom, what did you bring me?"
"Just the common ones, cucumbers, cabbages and so on. I asked your eldest brother to write them down. You can check them yourself when the time comes!" In the past, the family's private plots were taken care of by the two daughters, and there was no need to worry that they would not know how to grow them.
"There are two rooms here, and the living room is also okay. It's really nice and more spacious than your in-laws' house." Chen Cui'e looked at the two rooms and nodded with satisfaction. This house was worth renting.
"That area was the kitchen before. Jinsheng and I discussed and decided to demolish the kitchen, separate it into a new room, and reduce the size of the living room a little bit." Jiang Xinbai gestured as she spoke. This was the place she was most satisfied with, as everything was utilized.
"Where did you put the kitchen?"
"The backyard is here. Mom, come with me. The long strip on the left is the kitchen, and next to it is the place to wash clothes. At the end we also built a bathroom with a squat toilet."
"This, isn't it smelly so close to the kitchen?" Chen Cui'e looked at the kitchen and then at the toilet, fearing that the smell would be too strong and suffocating in the summer.
Jiang Xinbai laughed when he heard it, and quickly explained: "Mom, come and see, ours can be flushed away with water. It cost a lot of money just to build this toilet, but it's worth it."
"Oh, it's really magical," Chen Cui'e tried to pour a bucket of water into the squat toilet, and it quickly flushed down. It really works.
"Yeah, then we don't have to worry about the smell."
Chen Cui'e suddenly turned around and asked, "Tell me the truth, is this house really rented? Did you buy it?"
