The kang on Ji Xia's side was not very hot, but she had a lot of cushions on her bed and covered herself with a down quilt, so she wouldn't feel cold if she slept alone. After Qin Xiao came up, she rolled into Qin Xiao's arms, as if she was hugging a stove.
Qin Xiao felt that his wife's boudoir was very nice. The bed was soft and comfortable to sleep on. The best thing about moving around on the kang was that no matter how hard he exerted, he didn't have to worry about the bed creaking.
At the end of the first reincarnation, Ji Xia was still trying to recall her lost soul when she heard Qin Xiao whisper in her ear, "Let's build a fire pit at home to keep warm in the winter."
Ji Xia had no idea what was going on in this man's mind. He just thought he was thinking about himself and was afraid that he would get cold in the winter. He hummed, and then heard him say, "The fire pit is really strong. I don't think our bed will last for many days."
Ji Xia kicked him in the stomach. What was this guy thinking about all day long? Qin Xiao quickly caught her foot. It was small. He squeezed it and felt as if an electric shock had passed through his body. He felt high again.
It was so tiring! This was Ji Xia’s last moment of consciousness before he fell asleep.
The next day, after the snow stopped and the sky cleared up, Carpenter Yang continued to build the stove. Rongbin and Ronghua came to help, and they finished it in half a day.
Liang Yunyue and the other three people each cleaned the kang in their room. Carpenter Yang asked them to light the stove to work faster.
There are two pots on the stove, the front one is bigger than the back one. There is a large cabinet in the room, and two vats, one big and one small. The big one is used for drinking water, and the small one is used for washing pots. It is very suitable for raising pigs and watering the yard.
There is a small square table in the middle hall, which is enough for four people to eat.
We spent the whole day moving yesterday, so today we just need to move our luggage and bedding over.
"Are you really planning to move to Ji Xia's place? Her family is really interesting. They would rather rent the house to you than let the second wife live in it. Ji Fang is still living in the cowshed. How can you be a brother, sister-in-law and niece like this?" Shen Yan said.
He Yaoming echoed, "That's too much. It's so cold in winter, and they're not bad people, but they actually drove them to live in the cowshed. Otherwise, Ji Fang's mother wouldn't have died like that."
Liang Yunyue glanced at Shen Yan, "How funny! The village has made such a clear decision on this case. You all know it, so why are you accusing Ji Xia's family of being wrong?"
Chen Suhua urged Liang Yunyue, "Let's go. What's the point of saying all this? There are some people you can't reason with. It's a waste of time. Ji Xia isn't someone you can easily bully. Think about the shit you picked up when you criticize her!"
Qian Jingdan was very envious, but she didn't dare to ask to go with them, so she took the initiative to help them move things. Shen Yan immediately understood what was going on and was also very attentive.
Chen Jingyi also came here on the pretext of getting acquainted with the place. She also wanted a better place to live. Even though Chen Suhua and Liang Yunyue had moved out, there were still five or six female educated youth squeezed on one kang in the educated youth center, with no privacy at all.
When I got there, I saw the kitchen. There was a small room next to it which was used for bathing. There were two rooms with doors facing each other, and a living room in the middle. It was fully equipped with square tables and benches, and the woodshed was also very large.
Even though Ji Xia's family lives in the front, there is a wall in the middle and the front and back are not connected, it is still very quiet. If you don't want to go through the front door, there is a door in the back, which is simply too nice.
The room was also very large, with walls covered with newspapers, a table, a cabinet and two kang cabinets, all neatly tidied up. Liang Yunyue and Chen Suhua each occupied one end of the kang, and there was still some space left after putting a kang table in the middle.
Not only Chen Jingyi was envious, but Shen Yan and Qian Jingdan were also extremely envious.
"Yunyue, your room is almost as big as the ones at the educated youth camp. Living here with two of you is truly luxurious," Qian Jingdan said jealously. "The rent is only fifty cents a quarter. How about I move in with you and pay the rent all by myself?"
It’s just a matter of two kilograms of rice, and this house is essentially free to live in.
"No need. Suhua and I feel it's too crowded to live here." Liang Yunyue declined.
"You don't care, but Suhua may not. Suhua, twenty-five cents is not cheap, right?" Shen Yan patted.
Chen Suhua glanced at her and said, "Shen Yan, do you want to be slapped again? Your face is still swollen."
Jixia cooked again at noon. Today she stewed a pot of potatoes and beef brisket, and put pancakes around the pot. In the back pot was stewed mutton and carrots, and another circle of pancakes, all made of white flour.
Both dishes were ready-made dishes taken out from the space. There were too many people, so she was too lazy to cook.
Ronghua came a little late today. At such a young age, she had to wash clothes and sweep the floor at home. Her two little hands were red and a little swollen from the cold. Ji Xia gave her two boxes of hand cream in new packaging and asked her to remember to apply them every day.
The little girl saw that this was not an ordinary item and must be very expensive, so she didn't dare to accept it. Ji Xia pretended to be angry, and then she took it. She was particularly dedicated when she was lighting the fire for Ji Xia.
Ji Xia didn't know so many people had come to the educated youth center. When he came over to take a look, he ignored Shen Yan and the other two and called Liang Yunyue and the other three, "I'm going to treat Uncle Carpenter to a meal, so I'll treat you guys as well."
Liang Yunyue and the other three didn't know that today's dishes would be so sumptuous. They agreed and brought their own rations to see what was on the table. There were two large pots of meat and vegetables, smooth and soft white flour pancakes, and the aroma of wheat.
Shen Yan and the other two went out from the front door, took a look at the table, and immediately drooled.
"No way, Ji Xia, you're treating us to such delicious food?" Liang Yunyue suddenly felt that the two taels of white flour in her hand were too shabby, but she also felt distressed to take out two taels of white flour.
"Come, eat. The two kids are hungry!" Ji Xia raised his chin towards the door and said to Shen Yan and the other two, "Sorry, it's time to eat. I won't keep you here any longer."
Chen Jingyi was extremely jealous of Ji Xia. It was simply too much for this country woman to squander Brother Qin Xiao's money like this.
"Ji Xia, this is simply a capitalist style of yours!" Chen Jingyi knew the principle of hitting the snake at its most vulnerable part, so she directly labeled Ji Xia a capitalist.
Ji Xia wasn't afraid of the hat. She asked casually, "Really?"
Then, pointing to the mutton hotpot on the table, he asked, "Do you know what this is?"
It’s so bullying!
She actually thought she was lacking in knowledge. Chen Jingyi said without even thinking, "Who do you think has never eaten this? This is lamb stewed with carrots."
"Oh, so you have eaten it before. You also used a capitalist style when you ate it. No wonder you are so familiar with it!" Ji Xia looked at her as if she were an idiot.
Only then did Chen Jingyi realize that she had been fooled. What a damn cunning woman! No wonder Brother Qin Xiao was tricked into marriage by her.
"Ji Xia, you, a country woman, can actually afford to eat mutton. Did you spend Brother Qin Xiao's money? The Qin family is not someone you can cling to. I must tell Brother Qin Xiao that you married him just for his money." Chen Jingyi clenched her fists and said fiercely.
Qin Xiao came out of the room and glanced at Chen Jingyi with cold eyes. "Who are you? I married my wife just to let her spend my money. What's it to you?"
