Chapter 343 Moving into a New Home
"It's not like I don't have a home, I just haven't packed it up yet. I'll move back in a couple of days. If you can't live here for more than two days, just ask your mom to pack it up at home. We'll go to your house after we've settled down." Then he asked, "Have you had lunch yet? Let's eat together."
Fu Shan didn't bother to argue after hearing Ye Qian's answer. After all, Ye Qian was also a homebody in Beijing. "I haven't eaten yet."
"Let's eat together. I'm planning on having cold noodles. I ate them many times last year, and I've been craving this for a long time." She knew how to make it, but it was too much trouble. She was lazy, and after she finished the stock she'd prepared in her space, she could only think about it. She had to buy more on this trip to Beijing, otherwise it would take another year to come back.
Fu Shan didn't hesitate to greet Gu Jinyan and Aunt Lan's children and then sat down to eat together. After dinner, Ye Qian also gave her her report card and promised to come to her house in three days, which persuaded Fu Shan to go back.
The children were tired after the long ride, so Aunt Lan took them to rest. Ye Qian and Gu Jinyan were not idle either. He had to go to work tomorrow and would have no time for the next few days, so he could only accompany Ye Qian to clean up the new house this afternoon.
Having not been here for a long time, Ye Qian thought there should be a lot of spider webs here. But there weren't any. After a closer look, there was no dust at all. She turned to look at Gu Jinyan, who said helplessly, "Didn't I tell you that I found someone to look after the house for us?"
Ye Qian: "House viewing doesn't include cleaning."
"I told you in advance that I would come and stay here, so I will naturally clean this place." The two talked as they walked. Ye Qian first took a look at her bedroom and was surprised because it had been completely renovated according to the requirements she had put forward before, and it was even more luxurious than she said.
Not only was there a flush toilet, but there was also a bathtub, a washbasin, and so on. Ye Qian wasn't surprised to see these, but she was surprised that Gu Jinyan would think of installing them. However, before the movement, the capitalists' houses had already been equipped with these, and thinking of this, Ye Qian felt relieved. Why suffer when you can make yourself more comfortable? It's not like she can't afford it.
Ye Qian looked at Gu Jinyan, "When did you start decorating? There was no sound."
"I'm letting people live here, so naturally I need to decorate it. We might all live here in the future, so naturally I want you to live better and more comfortably."
Gu Jinyan's action undoubtedly touched Ye Qian.
After Ye Qian was being hypocritical for a while, she dragged Gu Jinyan to look at the other rooms. The other rooms were just furnished in a simple manner, and the shared bathroom outside was also decorated better. That was right, since it was used by the family anyway. It wouldn't be possible to accommodate guests, as the rooms at home were already full. But they didn't have any guests who needed to stay here.
Ye Qian walked around and took in everything, then returned to her room. She took out her mattress, pillow, and summer air-conditioning quilt, and put on a four-piece set. She did the same for the other rooms. She also added thermoses to each room, an enamel mug for each person to drink water from, and towels and enamel washbasins according to the number of people in the room for everyone's convenience.
Why are they all made of enamel? Because enamel is durable and won't break even if dropped. Those who can afford it these days all use enamel. I didn't really buy any more. When Ye Qian first arrived, she bought a lot and piled them up in the space. Now they can all be used.
Ye Qian went to the kitchen again to take a look. Gas could be used now, but firewood could also be used. Ye Qian placed two large pots on the stove, and then added a lot of bowls and chopsticks and seasonings to the cupboard. She also put rice, flour, noodles and other foods, as well as a lot of vegetables and meat. It was hot now, and it would go bad easily if she took too much, so she prepared enough for two days.
There is also a cellar at home, which is used to store vegetables in winter. However, Ye Qian has no use for the space, but it is not wasted. She will use it as a warehouse in the future to place some electric fans and other things. She was worried that there would be no place to put them during the change of seasons, and now is the perfect time.
Ye Qian added some water from the stream to the small pond at the door, and the turbid water immediately became clear. Ye Qian put some fish and shrimps that had been raised in the space, and if you want to eat them, you can just catch them and eat them.
After preparing these, Ye Qian did not delay and directly picked up Aunt Lan and the three children after dinner. Since everything was already packed, there was no reason not to stay in a hotel, after all, it was dirty outside.
The children were very curious about their new home. Children have limited memories. They remember visiting here last year, but the details are vague. Seeing it again this year was exciting again. The yard here is much larger than the one in Han City, with a pond and a small rockery. It's very novel.
Without waiting for Ye Qian's instructions, the children ran away. Ye Qian quickly caught up with them: "Stay away from the pond, you hear? Don't fall in, what if it floods?"
"Yes," the three children answered in unison. They could ignore others, but they had to listen to Ye Qian, or they would have nothing to eat. She kept her word, and since there were so many delicious foods at home, the children were reluctant to go without, so they listened carefully to what Ye Qian said.
Regardless of the three children, Ye Qian took Aunt Lan over and settled her there first. Aunt Lan hadn't originally thought she'd get a room herself. After all, there were only three rooms in the house, and the two sons each had one, so she and Xixi would have to squeeze into one. Unexpectedly, Ye Qian actually arranged a room for her. To say she wasn't touched would be a lie.
The two have been together for several years. Apart from a period of adjustment when they first met, there have been no problems since then. She respects Ye Qian, and Ye Qian also respects her. But after all, the children are grown up, and it is impossible for them to squeeze into the same room when they get married. So she said, "Why don't the two boys live separately? If they get married in the future, there will be no place to live."
She herself was not very old, and after living with Ye Qian, her health was even better. She really thought she could live to see Ranran and Ningning get married. So she had to consider these things.
Ye Qian wanted to laugh, "How old are the children? You are really thinking too far ahead. Besides, why should they live with me after they get married?" Whether in her previous life or this life, she never wanted to live with her mother-in-law or daughter-in-law. This thing would never happen in their family.
Not to mention that she's so rich she can afford to buy a house for her children. Even if she's broke, don't they plan to raise their own children? I worried about them when they were little, so do I have to worry about them after they start their own families? Can she handle that?
This person needs to learn to let go.
Aunt Lan knew that Ye Qian’s ideas were somewhat different from those of other people, but this was not her concern. She would just do what she had to do. Since Ye Qian arranged it this way, she would not say anything more. She was happy living alone.
After accepting Ye Qian's kindness, he packed his luggage and went to take a look in the kitchen. Although he had eaten dinner, she was the one who cooked the meals, so it would be a good idea to familiarize himself with the kitchen in advance.
