Xia Weian didn't stay at home for long. After chatting with the children for a while, he went to find Uncle Lao Gen.
"Uncle Lao Gen." Xia Weian greeted him.
Shuanzi has already told Uncle Lao Gen that Xia Weian and his family are moving to the county.
Uncle Lao Gen knew that Xia Weian came here to ask him to make furniture. "Wait for me to pack up my tools, then we'll go."
"Thank you, Uncle Lao Gen."
"Family members don't talk about outsiders. Shuanzi said that I would give him a message when I went to get off work, and he would come to help after work. With more people lending a hand, the work will go much faster." Uncle Lao Gen said.
"You guys just take care of yourselves and don't worry about home." Aunt Gen took out rations from the kitchen.
"Aunt Gen, you don't need to bring rations. I have prepared everything. Sister Yun is busy these days, so I will cook for the family." Xia Weian refused to let Uncle Gen bring his own rations no matter what.
The old couple couldn't persuade him and only took tools and two sets of clothes.
The two of them went to the small building together.
"This yard is nice, and the house is nice too." Uncle Lao Gen said with emotion.
"The children in our family can all have their own houses after moving in, and we are happy to see it," said Xia Weian.
Uncle Lao Gen looked around and said, "This is the first time I've seen a whole house covered with wood flooring. It looks really nice. This color is the color of wood and it's bright."
"Uncle Lao Gen, this is the picture Yunmei drew. The children's rooms will also be furnished with the simplest furniture: beds, bookcases, desks, and chairs. Nothing else will be placed. As for the small living room upstairs, we plan to use the platform as a sofa."
Xia Weian planned the location while explaining to Uncle Lao Gen.
Uncle Lao Gen measured the ruler.
The two people cooperated well.
"I've never seen anything like this, but I think it would look pretty good." Uncle Lao Gen tucked the pencil behind his ear.
Xia Weian said with a hint of pride, "My sister Yun is very clever and skillful, and everything she comes up with is beautiful."
Uncle Lao Gen laughed heartily, "You two are still so loving and affectionate."
Xia Weian felt a little embarrassed. They already had seven children and were no longer considered a young couple.
Two people can talk without interfering with their work.
There were a lot of wooden boards. Uncle Lao Gen measured the dimensions of all the rooms and estimated that there were still quite a few boards left.
"I'll get the board. Lao San, you go tell Shuanzi to come directly after get off work, and we can just sleep on the floor." Uncle Lao Gen said.
Uncle Lao Gen realized it belatedly after he finished speaking, "Why is your room so warm? I'm sweating all the time."
"The heater's on."
"How can this kid be such a spendthrift? Work is hot, and you need to cool it down. I heard that you have to buy firewood from all over the city, which costs a lot of money." Uncle Lao Gen said with concern.
"Uncle Lao Gen, I'm afraid of the cold. Just consider it as accommodating to me. I'll go find Shuanzi." Xia Weian said as he strode out.
Uncle Lao Gen cursed with a smile, looked at Xia Weian who had already walked away, and started to work neatly.
When Xia Weian went to the vegetable company to tell Shuanzi that Uncle Lao Gen had come to work, he met Li Li.
"Third Brother." Li Li greeted with a smile. He used to call him Brother An, but he always felt a little awkward. Later, he just followed Shuanzi and called him Third Brother.
"Ali." Xia Weian greeted with a smile.
"Are you here to look for Shuanzi?"
"Yes, Uncle Lao Gen is helping me make furniture and asked me to come over and tell Shuanzi."
"Are you moving or something?" Li Li didn't know that Xia Weian was coming to the county, so he asked with concern.
Xia Weian briefly explained that he also wanted to work in the county.
Li Li pulled Xia Weian in surprise.
"Third brother, this is your fault. Why didn't you tell me that you came to the county to work? I'm very free now, so I can come and help you." Li Li said hurriedly.
Xia Weian smiled and patted Li Li's shoulder.
"Ali, I know how busy you are with work. I haven't finished packing yet. When I'm done and it's time for the warm-up party, I'll definitely let you know."
"Okay, we have to keep our word. I must be there for the warm-up wine. We will be in the county from now on, so we can communicate if there is anything. Can we still go hunting in the future?" Li Li asked.
"Of course I can. I don't have a work permit. When the steel mill is not busy, I will go wander around in the mountains."
Anyway, I have weekends off.
"I can get as much as I want, but I can't guarantee the supply like before." Xia Weian said with a smile.
"You are now a formal employee of the steel plant. You really can't keep doing this job forever. We'll see when the time comes. If you have it, just give it to me anytime. If not, forget it. I'll think of other ways." Li Li said.
Xia Weian nodded.
The two chatted for a few more minutes.
Xia Weian went to Sui Chengxiao's house as soon as he left the vegetable company.
Shen Wan happened to be having dinner with Sui Chengxiao. The two had decided to remarry, so they found a time to go through the registration procedures.
Sui Chengxiao has moved to the courtyard of Shen Wan's house.
When Xia Weian said that several children wanted to come and stay with them, of course they all agreed.
"You can stay as long as you want." Sui Chengxiao said immediately.
"They are our own children, so don't be shy. We have everything at home, so they don't need to bring anything. Just bring your own clothes, and you don't have to worry about food and drink." Sui Chengxiao said.
Xia Wei'an thanked him.
"Okay, I'll bring the kids over tomorrow morning."
Sui Chengxiao waved his hand, meaning that he should hurry up and leave, and come back when the children come.
Xia Weian didn't stay long and went back to the small building to work.
On the way back, I went to a state-owned restaurant and packed up twenty or so meat buns. It was time for lunch now.
Xia Weian thought about just making a meal first and then cooking in the evening.
When Uncle Lao Gen saw so many meat buns, he got so angry that he scolded Xia Weian again.
"How can you eat like this? You're not doing it right!"
Xia Weian was left in a state of confusion by what Uncle Lao Gen said, but he still stubbornly picked up five or six buns for Uncle Lao Gen.
The two of them had a full meal and continued working in the afternoon.
When it was time to get off work, Shuanzi also came over, and the three of them came together.
Because there was a light, they worked a little late at night, until after ten o'clock in the evening, and Xia Weian still insisted on turning off the lights and taking a rest.
The two of them slept on the floor together.
Originally, Xia Weian wanted to let them into the house, but the father and son refused to do anything.
They said the living room was already very warm, and they didn't know why they always felt that the ground was warm. They thought that the ground in the city was like this.
Xia Weian briefly talked about how he laid a layer of hot water pipes underground.
Shuanzi gave a thumbs up repeatedly, "Third brother, you are really awesome!"
Xia Weian smiled and said, "I just happened to have a permit, so I got some."
Shuanzi nodded and said, "As expected, you still need a ticket. Without a ticket, no matter how good your idea is, it won't come true."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, they went to bed.
Xia Weian also slept on the floor in the living room with them.
The next morning, Shuanzi stretched out for a while, ate the breakfast made by Xia Weian, and went to work.
Han Chengwu, Li Zhao and others came early.
