Yan Qiuxing and the others chattered as they introduced Zhaodi to her.
The side rooms on either side of the main house are where the two girls, Yan Qiu and Xing Hui, live. Fan Zhaodi had stayed in Yan Qiu's room for the two months that Fan Zhaodi had come, but that was temporary. Today is different. She will be staying there for at least many years until she gets married, so having her own room is very important.
Shuiqing always felt that girls needed their own rooms, their own space to be alone.
The five large houses near the courtyard gate are where Jiang Hehu, Ling Ran, and Bai Ziqian live. They are all boys. Even if one of them were moved to make room for Zhao Di, it would still be inconvenient for her, a young girl.
There are three rooms in the west wing: one for Hu's parents, one for Hu Wenhua, and one is empty. However, the biggest drawback of the west wing is that it gets very hot in the west. The summer sun in Shanshui Village is still very strong. It is okay to use it as a guest room for short stays, but for long-term stays, it is best to choose a room that faces south.
Ultimately, the room chosen for Fan Zhaodi was the one next to the side room where Yan Qiu lived.
It was even smaller than the side room where Yan Qiu lived, less than 20 square meters. It was originally a storeroom used to store valuable items. They had lockers in the mall and didn't have any valuable items, so it had been empty. This time, it was cleaned up.
"It's a bit small, but after thinking it over, this is the most suitable room for me," Shui Qingchao told Zhao Di in advance, so that she could be mentally prepared.
Fan Zhaodi's eyes were red. When she heard Shuiqing's words, she didn't know whether to shake her head or nod. Her aunt didn't know how much she wanted to have her own house!
Even if it's only the size of a bed, even if it's separated by straw mats, she'll still like it.
Before the family split up, the eldest and second eldest sisters lived with their grandmother. After the split, the second uncle and aunt's house became empty, and their parents let the second eldest brother move in, so she and their grandmother could live together.
Before going to bed, she had to fetch water for her grandmother to wash her feet and pour out the water. When it was her turn, her grandmother would always complain that she was too loud or that the water was splashing out. She would keep scolding and nagging her. After she finally finished and went to bed, her grandmother would say that she was crowding her and would pinch and kick her if she was in a bad mood.
She would cry out for water every now and then at night, so I would pinch her to wake her up and make her bring me water.
In the morning, Grandma woke up early and scolded her for being lazy, kicking her awake and making her fetch water for her to wash up.
She only dared to dream of having her own house, but unexpectedly, her second aunt actually made her dream come true...
Shuiqing took out the key, opened the door, and then handed the key to Zhaodi—each room had a lock, and the keys were given to the children to keep for themselves.
The room door was opened, revealing the entire interior space.
It was indeed not as big as the side room where Yan Qiu and Xing Hui lived, so there were no partitions, but it was fully equipped with a bed, wardrobe, and desk.
A mattress was laid on the bed, and a straw mat was placed on top of the mattress. The bed was covered with the same small floral quilt as Yan Qiuxing's.
The cabinet, made of natural wood, is two meters tall and has two levels. You can tell what it looks like without even looking at Zhao Di—the top level contains cotton quilts and mattresses, and the bottom level is a wooden frame with clothes for all four seasons hanging on it.
The same thing happened in the rooms of my eldest and second eldest sisters.
A long table, identical to the cabinet, was placed by the window, complete with writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones. The wooden window was covered with a thin, breathable silk gauze, and a light blue curtain was also provided. My aunt said that the curtain had to be drawn at night when there was light and when sleeping.
Fan Zhaodi felt that she was crying unusually much today, and she couldn't stop.
Seeing the clean and bright house in front of me, a house with everything I needed, tears streamed down my face uncontrollably.
My aunt said the house was small, but how is it small?
This is even bigger than his parents' house!
