Jiang Weihua and A Lian are also very satisfied with the building, especially the sun tiles on the second floor, which allow every room to be bathed in sunshine, making people feel comfortable. They can also turn the yard on the first floor into a garden and make a swing.
Jiang Weihua naturally wanted to be neighbors with his teacher, and the teacher and student chose two sets of apartments next to each other facing east.
When Ling Ran said that no one else would be allowed to live in the warehouse, the teacher and student chose to leave the middle unit empty.
After deciding on a place to live, Jiang Weihua, because of his elder sister's reminder, decided to tidy up the place properly. "Teacher, let me arrange the furniture and appliances for you!"
"Yeah! That's fine," Professor Chu nodded. This student had good taste in clothing, food, housing, and transportation. However, "Don't make it too fancy. I like plain colors."
"Okay, okay, I'll make it natural wood color for you."
"Yes, I want the original wood color."
Jiang Weihua took A Lian and Xiong Mingli to the county town, or maybe to the city, anyway, to buy furniture and electrical appliances.
When Professor Chu returned to Zhou's house, he began to rummage through his luggage, finding the gifts that his old boss and his friends had given to the three treasures. He also found a picture frame. "Come on, Ling Ran, give these to Zhou Xiang."
Ling Ran took the picture frame and several small gift boxes, which contained precious photos of him, He Lao, Hong Lao and others from the wedding day. "Thank you, teacher."
"You're welcome. This photo was framed like this when it was given to me. The gift boxes contain the jewelry that the old leaders gave to the three treasures."
"Yes! I have to thank the old leaders."
"Don't be so polite. What you gave me cannot be bought with these common things. The old leader feels guilty towards Zhou Xiang, so just accept it."
"Yes! Listen to the teacher."
When Zhou Xiang saw the gifts, he accepted them without hesitation. "Think of these as dried fish. Next time, I'll send them dried fish and some food."
"good!"
"Hang this mirror frame on the north wall of the living room so people can see it as soon as they enter the living room."
"good!"
"Teacher, after viewing the warehouse building, what are your plans?"
"We've already chosen a house, and Senior Jiang's gone shopping for furniture and appliances. I also need to hire someone to tidy up the yard for him. Even if he wants a fruit tree, where can I get it?"
"Tell Uncle Chen what the teacher wants for the yard, and have him and his son take care of it. As farmers themselves, they know how to make the best use of the land."
"Yes, it's more appropriate to leave it to Uncle Chen and his son."
Ling Ran hung up the photos and went to the front yard to make arrangements. Lu Jin, who was looking for a place to rent, came running back and followed him with a smug look on his face, "Boss, Boss."
"If you have something to say, just say it."
"Boss, didn't they say that the warehouse building would be our little home in the future?"
"Just tell me."
"I want to choose a house, too. I also want a house with a door facing east."
Ling Ran stopped and said, "I'm telling you! The house is yours, but it has to be a new one. Do you understand me?"
Lu Jin nodded repeatedly, "I know, I know. After I've made my selection, I'll quickly order the furniture and other things. Zhenzhen and I are planning to set a date for next spring. After the wedding here, we'll go home and hold another one."
"I still need to ask your sister-in-law about this matter to see if she has any other plans for the building."
"Yeah! Thank you, boss."
Uncle Chen and his son received the task and quickly made preparations. "Don't worry, we have fruit trees in our village. I can transplant one that's over six years old."
"Give them the money they need to buy the vegetables, and also prepare the small tools they need to grow vegetables."
"Okay!"
When Tian Li and Chen Wenlian moved, they didn't actually have much stuff with them, just some spare clothes and new bedding that had been ordered in advance.
The joy of the two families moving in made the blind old lady envious. She found her son and said, "Achao! Do you and Anwen want to apply for a warehouse apartment?"
Jin Chao disagreed, "Mom, I still want to go out with Zhou Niao. I'll feel at ease if you and An Wen live in Zhou's house next to my cousin. We have a house in the front yard. When you come back, we'll have a place to stay."
"That's fine. An Wen and I really don't dare live alone when you're not at home."
"Yes! The Zhou family has a big house. You and Anwen can help out occasionally. Auntie is too busy to handle it."
"Okay! I'll listen to you."
Ling Ran told his wife about Lu Jin's request, and Zhou Xiang agreed. "But don't pick too many random places. The south side of the first and second rows is already occupied by Aunt Chen and the teachers. Lu Jin and his family can only choose the warehouse on the north side of the first row. Oh, and ask Sister Guo if her family wants to move in there. They can live on the north side of the second row, right next to the teachers. It'll be quiet."
"Okay, I'll go ask."
Guo Xuehua hesitated. Would it be safe for a family of five women to live outside? Moreover, it was quite far away. Sometimes when she was working, the old man and the youngest were still asleep. She felt safe being a few steps away from the front yard. If she went to the grain station, she would have to wake the old man and the youngest up every time.
She went to the second floor and told Zhou Xiang her concerns in person.
Zhou Xiang advised: "Sister Guo, when the old street is renovated, the room you live in will be demolished. Now that you live there, you can choose to be closer to my teacher and senior. They are not short-sighted people and will not look at you with strange eyes.
When you come to work in the morning, just wrap the old and the children in a blanket. Over there, all the houses have their own doors and yards, so it's very safe to live there. You can also raise a dog to guard the door, and your safety will be completely guaranteed."
Guo Xuehua was somewhat tempted.
Zhou wanted to add fuel to the fire, "Go and take a look first, then make a decision."
"good!"
More than half an hour later, Guo Xuehua came upstairs with a smile, "Miss Zhou, thank you. I really like that building. It's big and has a big yard. It's convenient to raise a dog. Closing the door can also block many people's inquiring eyes."
"Sister Guo, in a few years, divorce will be common. Just sit back and behave properly, and don't worry about what others think."
Guo Xuehua nodded, "Give me some time, I will get over it."
Not long after Guo Xuehua went downstairs, Guo Jia came up, "Miss Zhou, can I get some advance on my wages?"
"What's it for?"
"I just went to see that building with my mom. She's decided to live there, and we need to buy some things."
Zhou Xiang nodded and handed her two hundred yuan. "All you need to buy are kitchen utensils. As for the furniture for the bedroom and living room, I have plenty here. I'll have someone move it over for you. There are also dining tables and chairs in the alley. You can pick them up there. You can take the bedding you have now."
Guo Jia nodded repeatedly, "Thank you, Miss Zhou."
After Guo Jia came downstairs, Zhou Xiang pulled Ling Ran into the bathroom, a place that was considered private and wouldn't be deliberately explored. She asked Ling Ran to pick out five sets of beds and low cabinets from his ring, one for each of the five mothers and daughters! She wouldn't care if they added more in the future.
He then searched the space warehouse to find something suitable for the living room, but it couldn't be too eye-catching. Guo Xuehua and the others' things had to be low-key.
I pieced together a three-seater sofa, two single armchairs, and a long wooden coffee table.
