Chapter 106 You are here, I don’t want to move into the new house

The end of the year was approaching and the weather was freezing cold. A few days before the Chinese New Year, the renovation of the courtyard was almost done. After the workers completed the work successfully, Jiang Tang discussed with Qin Xiao about moving in before the Chinese New Year.

Early in the morning at the dinner table, Jiang Tang proposed to Zhou's mother that he wanted to move there.

Zhou's mother frowned, not quite agreeing, "So hurry? My dear, why don't you move in after the New Year? Choose a good day after the New Year and move in."

Jiang Tang smiled and touched her mother's hand, "Mom, I think you want us to stay put forever."

"I will contact Chuyang's school after the New Year. We have just moved there. We will come back to have New Year's Eve dinner with you during the New Year."

"Besides, if Qin Xiao and I stay at home, it will hinder your and Dad's business."

Zhou's mother was reminded of her daughter's thoughts. She really didn't want her daughter to move out so early. She laughed and said, "Okay, but it's not you two who are making trouble. It's us who are making trouble for you two. When are you going to move in?"

Jiang Tang tilted his head and looked at Qin Xiao with a smile, whispering, "We plan to go there after dinner. Qin Xiao has moved all the things we brought before. We don't need to bring anything this time. We can just go there. Qin Xiao has already bought a lot of things."

Mother Zhou sighed, "Mom will accompany you for a trip, just as a way to warm up the house for you two young couples."

Jiang Tang agreed with a smile.

Zhou An blinked his big eyes at Jiang Tang and tilted his head, "Sister, where are you going?"

The young man was speaking clearly now. Jiang Tang replied in a gentle voice, "Sister is moving to a new house. Are you happy?"

Little Tuanzi didn't understand at all, but his sister was happy, so he was happy too. He nodded foolishly, "Happy."

Zhou's mother saw her silly son still having fun with his sister, not knowing that his sister was moving away. She thought he would be sad if he knew.

After dinner, Jiang Tang and Qin Xiao planned to drive there, and Zhou's mother carried Zhou An with her.

Jiang Tang sat in the passenger seat, let Zhou's mother and Qin Chuyang sit in the back seat, and let Heidan sit in the trunk. The family drove towards the newly built house.

Zhou's mother looked at the surrounding environment, a little puzzled, "My dear, what's so good about this yard? It's hard for you to like it so much. Some families don't even want this thing after they divide the house."

Jiang Tang blinked her eyes, perhaps because she had an inexplicable yearning for a courtyard house in her heart. Now that she could buy it, she wanted to realize this yearning.

"Mom, I like this kind of yard. I don't like tall buildings. This is much better."

Zhou's mother shook her head. "Where can we find so many tall buildings? But it's fine as long as you like it."

The lady's like is more important than anything else.

Qin Xiao drove the car to the gate of the yard. The intersection was not wide, but it could accommodate a small car like this.

The family got out of the car, Qin Xiao took the key, opened the door, pushed it open and stepped aside to let Jiang Tang in.

Jiang Tang led Qin Chuyang into the house. The yard had changed a lot compared to what it looked like before. There were many green plants that would not wither even in winter, adding vitality to this simple courtyard.

Some old and damaged items were replaced with new ones. Qin Xiao still installed a Simmons bed in the main house, and all the things he brought back from home were placed neatly in the cabinet.

Zhou's mother was quite satisfied when she saw the gas stove in the kitchen. "With this gas stove, you don't have to burn firewood to cook. We don't have that much firewood here. If you feel cold, you can buy a stove and burn beehive coal."

"If you really feel that it is not working, then go back home and live there."

"Well, don't worry, mom. We won't be cold. In winter, I'll just stay in bed and wait until the weather clears up before going out."

Zhou's mother laughed, "That won't work, you don't do anything."

Jiang Tang walked over and held her wrist, then raised his chin towards Qin Xiao, "Isn't there still Qin Xiao? He works for me every day."

Mother Zhou pinched the lady's nose and said, "Qin Xiao treats you well, so he does this."

After showing Zhou's mother around the yard, Zhou's mother hugged Zhou An and wanted to leave. Jiang Tang couldn't keep her, so she had to let Qin Xiao send her off.

Zhou An was carried in her mother's arms as she walked out. She stretched out her arms to hug Jiang Tang, "Sister, let's go home."

Zhou's mother said happily, "You were so stupid when you came here that you didn't know anything. Now that you know your sister won't go home with you, you must be sad."

Jiang Tang took a step forward, raised her hand and squeezed the kid's hand, "An An, go home with mom. I'll go see An An in two days."

The little guy pouted his mouth, not knowing whether to cry or not.

Jiang Tang wanted to coax her, but Zhou's mother carried her out, "It's okay, the more you coax him, the more excited he will be. Just get out of the house."

Jiang Tang could only retract his hand and send the two of them to the car. After watching Qin Xiao get in, he glanced at Zhou An's big red eyes, bent over and approached the car window, "Mom, please coax him for me."

"It's nothing, don't worry."

Jiang Tang nodded and watched the car move forward while she stopped where she was.

After Qin Xiao sent his friends away, Jiang Tang took Qin Chuyang to the kitchen. Qin Xiao had already bought a lot of things for the kitchen, including a refrigerator and an oven. Jiang Tang stood in front of the gas stove, turned it on, and stared at the blue flame in front of him, feeling very satisfied.

Qin Chuyang raised his little face and looked at Jiang Tang, "Sister-in-law, why do you get so angry when you hit her?"

Jiang Tang explained to him with a smile, "This is a gas stove. Chuyang, do you see the big pot next to it?"

Qin Chuyang nodded.

Jiang Tang smiled and said, "The big can is filled with gas, but we have to tighten the button on top after we use it, otherwise it's not safe."

The kid nodded half-comprehendingly.

Jiang Tang brought the iron pot to the stove, filled the pot with water, and began to boil water and scald the bowls.

After she had boiled all the pots and bowls and put them in the cupboard, and swept the yard, Qin Xiao came back after sending Zhou's mother home.

Jiang Tang went up to them and asked softly, "Did you send them back?"

Qin Xiao responded.

Jiang Tang whispered, "An An is home, are you still crying?"

Qin Xiao shook his head, "Don't cry."

He held the little girl's hand and walked to the living room. He sat on the sofa and said in a deep voice, "See if there is anything else that needs to be improved at home. I will go and do it in the next two days."

Jiang Tang raised her hand and pinched his face, shaking her head, "We'll see later. The most important thing now is that the New Year is coming soon, and we need to buy some New Year's goods."

Qin Xiao nodded, "Well, I'll buy it tomorrow."

Jiang Tang sat cross-legged comfortably on the bed, leaning her head on Qin Xiao's shoulder, watching the TV that was turned on.

The little guy squatted beside the sofa, holding Heidan and playing with him.

Jiang Tang turned his head to look at Qin Xiao, "Is there a school nearby?"

If not, they still need to move to the house in the apartment to make it more convenient for Qin Chuyang to go to school.

Qin Xiao responded, "Don't worry, there is a school."

Jiang Tang yawned softly, "That's good."

Qin Xiao hugged the little girl and said softly, "Have dinner with Mo Baian tonight."

Jiang Tang paused and nodded, "Well, this meal should have been eaten a long time ago. We should have treated him to a meal during the few days we were here."

Or maybe Qin Xiao was too busy with buying a house and decorating it, so he never had time.

In the afternoon, Qin Xiao drove the family to the state-owned hotel. After entering the private room, Jiang Tang took the menu and ordered food. Not long after, Mo Baian pushed the door open and apologized with a grin.

"It's late."

Jiang Tang and Qin Xiao both knew that the store was busy, so Jiang Tang quickly asked him to sit down.

Mo Baian sat down and started talking to Qin Xiao, "It's almost the New Year, there are especially many customers these past two days. There were quite a few people when I came."

Jiang Tang handed him the menu and said with a smile, "We are sorry for delaying you."

Mo Baian took the menu and ordered his favorite dishes without hesitation, shaking his head with a smile, "No, no matter how busy I am, I will definitely eat for free."

He ordered the dishes with a smile, and Qin Xiao asked the waiter to take the menu down.

Mo Baian smiled and said, "Why, have you sorted out the family issues? I'll treat you when you have time."

Qin Xiao nodded.

Jiang Tang chuckled and said, "So this meal is not only for you, but also to celebrate our move."

Mo Baian raised his eyebrows, raised the teacup in his hand, and raised it towards Jiang Tang and Qin Xiao, "That's my honor."

"Did you really buy that courtyard house?"

After he finished speaking, he raised his head and took a sip of tea. When he came here with Qin Xiao before, Qin Xiao went to look at houses and he followed him to look, until he knew that Qin Xiao had chosen a courtyard house.

Jiang Tang and Qin Xiao followed suit and raised their glasses to take a sip.

Jiang Tang nodded, "Yeah, the courtyard is pretty good."

Mo Baian nodded in agreement, "It's pretty good. I'll buy it and live here if I have the chance."

"Then you have to hurry up."

They chatted for a while before the food started to be served one after another. They were not talkative people, so after all the dishes were served, they raised their cups of tea and started eating.

Qin Xiao drove here, and Jiang Tang didn't let him drink. Mo Baian wasn't a wine lover either, so he drank tea instead of wine throughout the trip.

"Business in the store is good, Boss Qin. We can clean up and expand the store next year." Mo Bai said leisurely with an expression of happiness.

"The situation in various places is very good now. If we have the strength, we can definitely expand from the capital and Pengcheng outwards."

Since returning to the capital, Mo Baian has a better understanding of the situation and his words are calm and confident.

It was not until now that he actually returned to the capital that he realized how important it was to go to Wuli County with Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao didn't think he was fanciful and nodded slightly, "I have this plan."

I had already thought about it when I was planning to come to the capital. Now that people are here, we should expand wherever necessary.

As the two of them were chatting, Jiang Tang picked up some food for Qin Chuyang who was eating obediently beside him. While eating the food, the little guy was still muttering about the black eggs at home that he hadn't eaten yet.

Jiang Tang was helpless, "It's okay, I'll go back and pack a portion for Heidan later."

Qin Chuyang immediately nodded his head with a smile, "Sister-in-law, Heidan likes to eat meat, give him some meat."

Jiang Tang picked up a piece of meat and put it into the kid's bowl. "Well, try it first to see if it tastes good. Eat more. If you like it, give it to Heidan later."

After the two negotiators had almost finished their conversation, Jiang Tang stood up, left the box, paid the bill, and asked someone to pack a portion for Heidan as well.

Qin Xiao led Qin Chuyang, and the three of them came out of the box. They walked to the door together, said goodbye to Mo Baian, and sent Mo Baian off. Then the family got in the car. Jiang Tang and the young man sat in the back seat. Qin Xiao did not drink at night, so he sat in the driver's seat and drove home.

Jiang Tang looked at the passing scenery outside the car window. It was now completely dark. She was carrying the packing box for Heidan and quietly watching the darkening night.

They drove smoothly all the way home. Qin Xiao parked the car in the corner of the yard, and Jiang Tang led Qin Chuyang out of the car.

As soon as he got off the car, Little Heidan ran over happily, wagging his tail, and circled around Jiang Tang and Qin Chuyang.

Jiang Tang smiled and solemnly handed the packaged box in his hand to Qin Chuyang.

Patting the boy's head, he said, "Chuyang, I'll leave the black egg to you."

The little guy nodded seriously while holding the take-away box, and then carried the lunch box to the kitchen door. Little Heidan followed with his tail wagging, sniffing the aroma all the time. He wanted to stretch out his little paws to grab the lunch box in Qin Chuyang's hand, but was expressly forbidden by his little master. So he did not dare to act rashly and waited obediently by the side with his tail wagging.

Jiang Tang asked the boy to feed Heidan. She heaved a sigh of relief and went straight to the living room, half lying on the sofa, staring blankly ahead.

After a while, Qin Xiao came out after boiling the water. When he entered the living room, he saw the little girl lying on the sofa. He walked over, bent down and kissed the little girl's cheek, "Tired?"

Jiang Tang stood up, rested his chin on Qin Xiao's shoulder, and rubbed it gently, "Yeah."

"I washed dishes and cleaned today, and then went out again, so I'm a little tired."

Qin Xiao kneaded the little girl's shoulders and said, "Go take a shower first."

Jiang Tang sighed, "Go take a shower, it's too cold."

After saying that, he reached out and pushed Qin Xiao away, hurried him to take a shower, picked up the small blanket beside him and covered himself with it, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

After Qin Xiao took Qin Chuyang to take a bath, they returned to the living room and saw the little girl sleeping with a thin blanket covering her.

The man frowned, walked to the sofa, bent down, put his arms around the girl and tried to pick her up.

Jiang Tang opened his eyes in a daze, looking at the man so close to him, his head shaking, "Qin Xiao, you're done."

"Um."

Qin Xiao said in a deep voice, "I won't take a shower tonight. I'll go to bed first."

Jiang Tang refused to do that. She lifted the blanket, sat up, and rubbed her eyes. "I'm not that sleepy."

She blinked repeatedly to force out the sleepy tears in her eyes, trying to keep her mind clear, and said softly, "Take Chuyang to bed first."

Qin Xiao felt helpless when he saw the little girl swaying as she stood up. He stood up and took Qin Chuyang to his new room to sleep.

Afraid that the kid would not be used to the new home, Qin Xiao pulled Heidan over to keep him company.

Qin Chuyang was trapped in the nest again and closed his eyes obediently.

Qin Xiao said in a deep voice, "Qin Chuyang, are you afraid?"

The little guy shook his head under the quilt.

Qin Xiao put his hand on his brother's head, "It's okay to be scared on your first day in a new home."

"If you're afraid, sleep with me and your sister-in-law."

Qin Chuyang opened his eyes wide and blinked, "I'm not afraid, brother, Heidan sleeps with me."

Qin Xiao turned his head and looked at Heidan lying in his nest, his head facing Qin Chuyang's bed, and it seemed that he was seriously accompanying his little master.

After a response, the big hands patted the quilt on Qin Chuyang's body again and again, and Qin Chuyang closed his eyes again.

Qin Xiao didn't stop until Qin Chuyang's breathing became even and he was obviously asleep. He stood up and left the room quietly.

After returning to the living room, Jiang Tang came in wearing pajamas. Seeing Qin Xiao, he quickly walked over and wrinkled his nose. "Qin Xiao, aren't you cold? Go back to your room and sleep."

The man was lightly dressed and freezing in the living room.

She walked up and pushed Qin Xiao back to the bedroom. The temperature of her hands was a little cold. Qin Xiao was pushed onto the bed. She turned around and picked up the little girl into her arms, and they lay on the bed together.

Jiang Tang was hugged by him, with her head on the man's chest, and she was a little concerned about the boy, "Is Chuyang asleep?"

Qin Xiao carried the girl to bed, lifted the quilt and covered her, wrapped Jiang Tang tightly, and replied softly, "She's asleep."

"Let Heidan sleep with him."

Jiang Tang finally felt relieved. He reached out and hugged Qin Xiao's waist. His dark eyes stared at this new home. He said softly, "Qin Xiao, are you happy?"

Qin Xiao put his hands on Jiang Tang's shoulders and said, "Yeah, I'm happy."

Jiang Tang turned over, put his hands on Qin Xiao, stared at Qin Xiao, leaned over and kissed Qin Xiao's lips, and whispered, "Do you want to go back to Wuli County?"

Qin Xiao's throat rolled. He raised his hand to hold the back of the girl's head, pressed her against himself, and kissed her deeply.

One hand gently inserted into the little girl's soft hair, and the other hand moved down to caress the girl's slender waist.

Jiang Tang's hands were on Qin Xiao's chest, and she was forced to slide onto the bed. Her lips felt numb and itchy, and her breathing became disordered. Qin Xiao pinched the back of the girl's neck and held her in his arms.

Jiang Tang lay on top of Qin Xiao, listening to the rise and fall of his chest.

"You're here, don't want to."

Jiang Tang couldn't help swallowing. Qin Xiao was no longer the same Qin Xiao as before. He was now becoming more and more eloquent, which made it hard for people to handle him.

The corners of her lips rose higher and higher, and she entangled Qin Xiao with her hands and feet, rubbing against the man's hard body, and said softly, "Me too."

Qin Xiao held the girl's waist tightly, took a deep breath, and engraved in his heart that the girl was tired today. Then he raised his hand and gently stroked the back of Jiang Tang's head, massaging her shoulders and neck bit by bit.

His voice was hoarse and heavy, "It's too late, go to bed."

Jiang Tang responded muffledly, leaned on Qin Xiao's body and adjusted himself into a comfortable position, closed his sleepy eyes drowsily, and then fell asleep.

Qin Xiao's hands gently massaged the girl's shoulders and neck until he felt the person in his arms fell asleep. He stopped and fell asleep holding the person in his arms until late at night.
