The next day, Zhou Xiang started sewing quilt covers and pillowcases, taking Guo Xuehua with him.
Zhou's father took over the cooking task.
In just one day, she sewed ten sets of quilt covers, sheets and pillowcases. After two days, she sewed twenty sets and then gave up the job.
That's all for now! No matter how fast you pedal, it won't go as fast as the motor.
On the 17th, she took her elder brother and her little chubby baby to the cotton-floss shop and brought back quilts, mattresses and pillows.
This time, they were not sewing the quilt cover, but starting to sew bean curd cloth outside the cotton batting. The bean curd cloth was bought back by Zhou's mother from the fabric store of the supply and marketing cooperative according to Zhou Xiang's request.
Aunt Wang and Tang Mei could also help with sewing the quilt, so the sofa in the living room was moved away.
Zhou Niao and Zhou Hua were both caught by Zhou Xiang, who helped them pull the bean curd cloth, carry the cotton wool, and thread the needle.
It took five people one day to sew 24 quilts by hand.
Then I put on the quilt covers and pillowcases, and sorted them according to the colors chosen by each person. This work is finally completed, and I can sew the rest when I have time.
On the morning of the 18th, Zhou's father found four carts and loaded all the quilts onto two of them.
A red envelope was placed on top of the rice bucket, six new sets of bowls and chopsticks were placed in a three-quarters full water bucket, a burning stove, a dustpan and a broom tied with red cloth strips, these six necessary things were placed on a cart.
All the packed old things were tied with red cloth strips and placed on a cart.
Zhou Xiang also made fun of Rourouqiuqiu by tying a red cloth strip and a bow around its neck.
At this time, Zhong Xiong came back to get the key and said that the Lingbi stone they bought had arrived.
Just then, Zhou's father waved his hand and pushed the cart to the south. Zhou Xiang was holding a thermos in her hand, but she still insisted on entering the bottle first and then the mirror.
When they arrived at the door of the new house, a large Dongfeng truck carrying a large, light yellow vertical Lingbi stone stopped in the depression in front of the Zhou family's house.
Zhu Hang opened the gate, and Wu Haotian and others came to help. Zhou's father stepped into the yard first carrying the rice bucket, and Zhou Xiang immediately followed with the thermos.
Zhou's mother carried a bucket of water, Zhou Niao held the stove, and Zhou Hua held a dustpan and broom, and they followed in one after another.
Everything was brought into the kitchen, and Zhu Hang and Wu Haotian helped move the things onto the cart.
Zhou Niao and Zhou Hua carried their quilts and entered the building they had chosen.
Zhou's mother and Zhou Xiang also began to carry the quilts they had chosen into their respective rooms.
Wu Haotian and his friends moved the things on the cart to the living room, and then called on four cart drivers to help unload the Lingbi stone.
The rope was tied, the stick was passed through the rope, and after shouting one, two, three, they were ready to be carried down from the carriage.
Zhou wanted to go downstairs again to get the quilt, but saw only ten people unloading the Lingbi stone, so he hurriedly stopped them.
"How heavy is this?"
"About three tons."
"Wait a minute, then. Ten of you each have to bear five or six hundred kilograms. That's definitely not going to work. Wait for my eldest and third brothers to come down."
Not long after, Zhou Niao and Zhou Hua made their beds and came down. "Big brother, third brother, come and carry the things."
"Okay!"
With Zhou Niao and Zhou Hua joining in, Zhou Xiang also participated, plus the driver, there were fourteen people, seven sticks, and one, two, three, they lifted it down smoothly.
The driver of the cart was still skeptical that it was not heavy enough, but he was moving to a new house today, so he had to be careful with his words.
Zhou's father came out and was about to replace his daughter, but was stopped by Zhou's mother. "Thinking about it is very powerful."
So, thirteen people lifted it with their shoulders, but Zhou wanted to lift it with her arms. Fortunately, it was Zhou Hua who was lifting the same stick with her. He understood his sister's habits and they cooperated tacitly to carry it to the land in the west that was prepared for planting vegetables, placing it vertically in an east-west direction.
After putting it in place, they worked together to pull out the rope under the stone slab, tidied up the edge of the base, and gave each of the four masters six dollars. The four masters smiled and said congratulations before taking the money and leaving.
Wu Haotian paid the fare to Dadongfeng. After all the outsiders left, Zhou Xiang began to observe the Lingbi stone.
There are many irregular textures on it, but no engravings or paintings, retaining its original flavor. The north and south sides are similar, and you can't tell the front and back.
This is actually better. No one knows much about Feng Shui, so it is best to simplify and popularize it.
The living room door is to the west, closer to the main door, and the dining room door is to the east, with the two doors half facing each other. This nearly two-meter-wide screen wall just blocks the middle.
"Thank you!"
Zhou wanted to thank Wu Haotian, Zhong Xiong and the others, but Zhong Xiong waved his hand and said, "You're welcome."
The six people congratulated Zhou's father together, "Congratulations on your new home, and all the best."
Father Zhou smiled and said, "Thank you! Thank you! Let's cook the hot pot here this afternoon. I'll be the one who cooks."
"Okay, okay! Let's help together."
Zhou Xiang took his eldest and third brothers to sort out the things they had moved, while his mother continued to move the quilts and make the bed.
Wu Haotian saw that Zhou Xiang was very busy, so he came over to help.
Zhou Xiang sorted out the things and directed the three people to put them in place until everything was in place.
Then I went to install three liquefied gas valves and tried them. The liquefied gas stove and water heater were working normally.
So he took his eldest and third brothers back to the north end and continued to move things.
This time, we used a cart to move all the miscellaneous items.
Zhou Yu anxiously pulled his sister and asked, "When can I bring Jiankangkang and the others back?"
"The day after tomorrow, after the banquet, you and your brother-in-law will take care of her for two days. Our mother won't come over anymore. She has a lot of things to do over there."
"Shall I get dressed first?"
"Sure, just pack a few days' worth of clothes. If you don't have enough, come back and get more."
"good!"
Guo Xuehua asked hesitantly: "Should I go with them then? Or should I stay here?"
"Of course you followed. You came to help my second sister. Wherever she is, you should be there."
Guo Xuehua breathed a sigh of relief. It was really inconvenient for her to stay here now that Mother Zhou had left.
After moving the things back to the new building and sorting them out for a while, Zhou's father called us to eat.
Zhou Xiang took out the new dishes and chopsticks from the big cardboard box, washed them, and then scalded them with boiling water.
At the long dining table, Zhou's father sat at the wide seat on the east side, Zhou's mother and Zhou Xiang and their two companions sat at the long seat on the south side, and Zhu Hang and his six companions sat at the long seat on the north side.
Looking at the remaining half on the west side, Zhong Xiong smiled, "It won't be crowded this time."
Zhou Xiang pointed to a shallow gap in the middle and said, "It can be split into two tables. After splitting into two tables, you can lift up the side board and it will become a round table."
Zhong Xiong looked down and saw that there was indeed a semicircular board on his side.
"This is a good design. It's comfortable to use the round table during the Chinese New Year."
Wu Haotian pulled Zhong Xiong and signaled him to speak less so that he wouldn't speak without restraint.
Zhong Xiong raised his glass to toast Zhou's father. Zhou's father smiled so hard that his mouth couldn't close. He picked up the wine in the glass given by his little girl and said, "Thank you! Cheers!"
After finishing the wine, Zhou's father looked at his daughter and asked, "Is this wine?"
Zhou Xiang nodded, "Yeah! It smells very strongly of alcohol, doesn't it?"
Zhou's father had no choice but to continue drinking this wine with Zhong Xiong and the others.
Of course Zhong Xiong knew that the wine in Zhou's father's drink was adulterated, but since they were going to have a formal drinking party tomorrow, he had to let Uncle Zhou control his drinking capacity.
After eating and drinking, the Gang of Six retreated, and Zhou wanted to go back to his own apartment to sort things out.
