"Let's go and take a look at our new home."
After walking out of the school office, Qiao Ru, holding Dabao Su Xingchen's hand, turned back and smiled as she proposed to her husband, son, and daughter-in-law.
They still had their luggage with them, so they went to check out their new home first. They wanted to buy any furniture and kitchen supplies they needed today so they would have somewhere to stay for the night.
Su Huaiyuan, Su Ze and Zhou Wanwan all thought this way in their hearts. The school had given them a house, so they had to go and take a look, buy what they needed to buy, and change what they needed to change. It would be best if they could move in within the next two days.
The two houses allocated were both built in the Peking University family compound. I was very familiar with the location and did not need anyone to take me there.
The family walked in the familiar school, feeling quite emotional. They had lived well in the countryside over the years and had no resentment.
"Professor Su and Teacher Qiao?!"
As the family was walking and observing with their luggage, suddenly, a hesitant and unbelieving voice came from behind them.
Su Huaiyuan and Qiao Jiru subconsciously stopped and turned around when they heard the sound. About five or six meters away from their family stood a woman who was not much older than Qiao Jiru.
"So it's Sister Lu."
Qiao Xiaoru immediately recognized the woman in front of her, Sister Lu, the neighbor in the family compound who had helped the Su family look after Dabao and Xiaobao.
"Teacher Qiao, you have been rehabilitated. It's really great that you are finally back."
Really, Professor Su and Teacher Qiao's family, Sister Lu was very happy at once, and looked up and down at the four big and two big guys.
"Is this Dabao and Xiaobao?! I didn't expect them to grow so big in the blink of an eye. They still look just like they did when they were little, so beautiful."
Sister Lu recognized from Dabao and Xiaobao's facial expressions that they were the two Xiao guys she had helped take care of back then, and was immediately surprised and delighted.
She really didn't think that during the five years or so that the Su family had been sent down to the countryside, they were not as thin, exhausted, or decadent as others. On the contrary, they were not only in very good spirits, but from their complexions and clothes, you couldn't tell that they were having a hard time in the countryside or that they had suffered much.
The Su family must have been taken care of in the place where they were sent down, Sister Lu thought to herself. However, good people are rewarded.
"Dabao, Xiaobao, this is Grandma Lu, come and say hello to her. When you were still young, you asked Grandma Lu to help take care of you."
Sister Lu was a really nice person, especially when they were reported, the other party secretly sent something to their home. Qiao Xiaoru was very grateful to her and quickly asked the two children to say hello to her.
"Hello, Grandma Lu. I'm Dabao."
"My dear, thank you Grandma Lu for taking care of me."
Dabao and Xiaobao naturally didn't remember Sister Lu, after all, they were not even two years old at the time. But they did whatever their grandmother asked them to do.
Sister Lu was very happy with the well-behaved, sensible and polite Dabao and Xiaobao, and she loved them as much as before.
"Okay, okay, Grandma Lu is very happy to know that you are doing well. You just came back, why don't you come to Grandma Lu's house for dinner tonight."
Sister Lu warmly extended an invitation to the Su family. The Su family had been rehabilitated and their work and other things must be the same as before. She was very willing to interact with them.
"Sister Lu, I'm so sorry. We just got our share of the house, and we need to go check out the situation there first. We might be busy buying beds and pots and pans today. When we have time in a few days, our family will come visit you."
Qiao Ruru politely declined her warm invitation. She really wanted to move into the new home as soon as possible, otherwise the whole family would have to live in a guesthouse outside.
Sister Lu knew that after the house was divided, she had to quickly buy furniture and other important matters. She was not unhappy about being rejected at all, and repeatedly told Qiao that if she needed her help in anything, she must come to her.
She also quickly listed a few places to buy furniture. However, Qiao Jiru knew these places well, and they hadn't changed much in the years since their family left.
After entering the family compound, Sister Lu took a different path from them: the newly built buildings were on one side, and the old courtyard was on another.
The family quickly found the five orders they had received. Su Huaiyuan and Qiao Ruru's two-bedroom, one-living room apartment was on the third floor, while Su Ze's family of four lived on the fourth floor.
The building allocated to the Su family had been built not long ago this year, and basically two families lived on each floor. The family went up to the third floor first and used the key to open the new house.
This two-bedroom, one-living room house is over 40 square meters, with two rooms, a living room, a balcony, a kitchen and a bathroom.
The house was empty except for the door and windows. The walls were unpainted and there was a cement floor.
Fortunately, there is no problem for people to move in directly, after all, it is still summer.
"I'm going to go find Lao Lu now and ask him to help me find someone to paint the walls and lay some tiles for the bathroom and kitchen."
After Su Huaiyuan looked around the entire house, he immediately went out to ask Lu Baoguo for help.
"Wait, let's take a look at the one upstairs. Let's finish that one first, and then we can do this one."
Seeing her husband's hurried look, Qiao Yuru quickly stopped him. Besides, it was almost noon, so why not go out as a family to have lunch first before going their separate ways.
After a while, they finished looking at the apartment on the fourth floor. It had one more room than the one on the third floor and was about 50 square meters. After looking at both apartments, the family was very satisfied.
Then, we put all the luggage we brought back in the house on the third floor, and the whole family went out to find a state-owned restaurant for lunch.
