So they had to clean up several courtyards in advance, and replenish the missing bedding and daily necessities. Chen Ming was busy with the engagement, so she had to take care of the household affairs.
It was just right that Xu Jianguo came back, and when she had no classes, Xu Manman dragged him and Jin Zichu to the department store. She was shopping in the front, while Xu Jianguo and Jin Zichu were carrying bags at the back.
After the purchase, Xu Manman checked the list to make sure nothing was missing before taking the two of them out.
"Zichu, are the quilts all ready?" Because only Xu Manman and Chen Ming lived in the house before, and they had a kang at home during the winter, so there were not many quilts in the house. Now that so many people came at once, the quilts had to be made again.
"It's all done. I've also asked someone to make a few more sets of sheets and quilt covers. I'll send them home with the quilt later."
Xu Manman nodded. The quilt cover needed to be washed before use. There was a washing machine at home, so it was not a big deal. There were still two days, enough time for them to clean up the room.
When they went back, they split up into two groups. Not long after they got home, Jin Zichu brought the things over. Xu Manman arranged for Xu Jianguo to wash the sheets and quilt covers, while Jin Zichu followed her with the quilt in his arms.
"My aunt and my third aunt are coming over this time, so we should clean up the master bedrooms of the first and third rooms first. If they have other ideas, they can come and change themselves then." Anyway, every room has been tidied up, the only difference is whether there are beddings or not.
"My uncle and aunt live on the right side of the main house. If they don't like the kang, there's another room next to Jianguo's. It's convenient to move."
Jin Zichu put the quilt and toiletries in the corresponding rooms as Xu Manman said.
The second to last day of September was Saturday, but they all had classes on Wednesday mornings, so they had to ask Jin Zichu to help pick them up.
Considering that there were so many people and a lot of luggage, Jin Zichu directly borrowed a car and picked up the five elders smoothly and safely at the train station.
Xu Gang sat in the passenger seat and looked sideways at Jin Zichu who was driving. "Zichu, I'm really sorry to bother you today."
Jin Zichu gripped the steering wheel, staring straight ahead with a gentle smile on his face. "It's no trouble, Uncle. I'm glad to be able to help. Ming and the others still have classes in the morning, but he and Manman will be back by noon. Jianguo might be late, as he still has two classes in the afternoon."
"Well, it's more important for them to attend classes. Manman and the others are in their third year, so don't they have a lot of classes now?"
"It seems like there aren't many classes this semester, but he and Brother Ming both have to prepare for exams, so they're a bit busier than before."
The car drove forward, and Jin Zichu patiently answered the questions of the elders in the car. Along the way, he did not forget to introduce them to the buildings and attractions along the way.
This made Chen Meiyu, who was sitting in the back row, feel much more satisfied.
It was the first time the elders came, so Jin Zichu drove directly to the main gate and stopped. In the morning, Xu Manman had opened the latch behind the main gate and only locked it from the outside, so Jin Zichu opened the door smoothly.
After putting the luggage in the car, he first took a few elders to visit the yard, and then introduced the accommodation to everyone according to Xu Manman's original arrangement.
Xu Gang and his uncle's family had no objections, but Lu Meihua was a little reluctant. "My place is bigger, but it's too empty. I feel very anxious living alone. I'd rather live in the same yard with my second sister-in-law and her family. Are there any empty rooms over there? If not, Manman and I can squeeze in."
Jin Zichu knew everything about this courtyard. "Yes, there is a room next to Jianguo's. I will go there and exchange the bedding when the time comes."
"Zi Chu, don't bother me. I can do it myself later."
"It's not a big deal." Jin Zichu led them to the courtyard of the third room, focusing on introducing several new electrical appliances that Xu Manman had purchased. Then he arranged for the elders to sit down in the courtyard, and went to get tea and snacks as he knew the place well.
"Uncle and aunt, please sit for a while. I'll go drive and bring the luggage in."
Xu Gang stood up and said, "Zichu, let me go with you."
In the end, all three men present went, drove the car in and parked it at the back door. Although there was a lot of luggage, the three of them finished moving it in one trip.
Jin Zichu stayed here for the whole morning. At noon, when he was about to roll up his sleeves and go into the kitchen to cook, he was stopped by Chen Meiyu, Ye Rong and Lu Meihua.
"Zi Chu, you've been tired all morning, so why should I ask you to cook? Just sit back and chat with your uncle and uncle, and we'll take care of the kitchen."
I don’t know when, but everyone also accepted Jin Zichu’s way of following Xu Manman and calling them uncle and aunt.
