"Okay." Gu Chenghuai nodded.
He smiled, his stern face melting like ice and snow, "That was originally the plan. I'll move when I get back."
"You don't like the old house being crowded, so why not just move in this afternoon?"
Zhaozhao likes to live a simple life. It’s okay for her to live in the old house for a short period of time, but she will feel uncomfortable if she lives in it for a long time.
Lin Zhao glanced away, feeling slightly uncomfortable. "It's not that I don't like it. Living in the old house... is pretty good."
Gu Chenghuai bent down, lowered his head, locked his dark eyes with hers, and the smile in his eyes deepened, "It's good, but not as good as my own home, right?"
Lin Zhao reached out and pushed him, pretending to be annoyed, "...hateful."
Gu Chenghuai clasped the soft hand, held it in his palm, and said softly, "When you move in, I'll make you longevity noodles."
He knew that in the past, when Zhaozhao celebrated her birthday, her father-in-law would make longevity noodles for her, a single white noodle decorated with chopped green onions, green vegetables, and a poached egg on top.
My father-in-law is not here this year, so he will do it.
Lin Zhao smiled, "You can do it?"
"I've asked mom for advice." Gu Chenghuai said honestly, "Maybe she can't do as well as dad, so just bear with it. I'll go ask dad for advice later."
The "mother" in the first half of the sentence refers to the biological mother, and the "father" in the second half refers to the father-in-law.
"Okay." Lin Zhao felt warm inside and smiled beautifully. "If it doesn't taste good, give it to your son."
Gu Chenghuai laughed in a low and pleasant voice, his chest was shaking, and he looked at his wife with an especially gentle look, "Okay, if it doesn't taste good, let our son eat it."
Lin Zhao's cheeks turned red when he looked at her. It was strange. They had been married for several years, so why should she be shy?
It’s all because this guy smiles too beautifully.
She pushed Gu Chenghuai forward, muttering, "Since we are moving, then move quickly, don't dawdle, and move Dahuang and Amber's nests here too."
Gu Chenghuai used Lin Zhao's strength to walk out.
Wang Chunhua went to the door to pick onions and saw the affectionate young couple. She smiled and said, "Mother Yu Bao, I see your yard is ready. When are you planning to move back?"
Lin Zhao smiled and said, "We'll move in the afternoon."
"Oh, so soon! Da Zhuang has been looking forward to Yu Bao and Heng Bao moving in all day. Call me if you need help." Wang Chunhua's face was full of enthusiasm. Country women like to gossip about others, but most of them are kind-hearted. They are never stingy in helping their neighbors when they need help.
"Thank you, Aunt Wang. There are enough people." Lin Zhao thanked the enthusiastic neighbor.
Wang Chunhua thought that there were so many people in the Gu family's old house, so it was normal that they didn't need help, so she hurriedly said, "That's enough."
She pulled out two onions, smiled at them, and went into the house.
Lin Zhao and Gu Chenghuai returned to Lao Gu and talked about moving back to the new courtyard.
"When will you move?" Mother Gu was reluctant. The two families lived not far from each other, but it would not be as convenient as it is now with four children.
The other members of the Gu family were even more reluctant.
The third daughter-in-law (the third aunt) lived in the old house. There was meat every now and then at home, and fine rice and fine noodles every few days. After the third wife moved out, they could only eat sweet potato rice.
Uncomfortable.
"There's no smell in the new house anymore. We plan to move in today." Gu Chenghuai's handsome face was calm and composed.
"So urgent." Gu's mother blurted out.
It was not the first time that the third branch moved out of the old house. They were a little reluctant, but it was much better than the separation a few years ago.
She quickly reacted and said, "You have a lot of stuff in your house. When you start moving, just give a shout and everyone in the family will come to help."
Gu Chenghuai did not refuse. They were a family, and if they were too formal, their mother would feel that they were alienated from the old house.
"We'll move after dinner."
Mother Gu said, "Okay!"
The move was just settled when Yubao and Hengbao ran into the yard and came back to eat.
"Grandma, is the meal ready? Your precious grandson is hungry!" Hengbao with a long mouth shouted loudly.
Mother Gu's face was full of smiles, "Okay, okay."
After saying this, he took the eldest and second daughters-in-law into the kitchen to serve food.
The adults were busy with their own things, and the grandchildren of the Gu family cast envious glances at the twins.
"Yubao, Hengbao, you are going to have your own room now, a brick house at that. Are you happy?" Xingye said enviously, pinching his twin cousin's cheeks for fun.
These two days are so beautiful!
"!"
Yu Baohengbao's eyes sparkled.
What, they are going to live in a brick house?
I couldn't suppress the excitement in my heart.
Yu Bao looked at Lin Zhao, his voice slightly raised, and a little rippled, "Mom, are we moving back home~?"
"Yes, we are moving back. From now on, the four of you will live in one room. It will be your own room. Are you happy?" Lin Zhao smiled with her eyes curved.
Yubao's childish voice was crisp, "Happy!"
Hengbao is a clingy kid who dares to express himself. He frowned and said in a tangled way, "Mom, I want to sleep with you."
Lin Zhao shook her head with a smile on her face.
"You are grown-ups now. You can't sleep with adults anymore."
Fearing that the smart twins would cause her problems, the mother took a step back and whispered softly, "How about this, I'll go to your room every night and tell you stories. After you fall asleep, I'll go back to my room, okay?"
Hengbao scratched his hands and lowered his head slightly.
He still wants to be held by his mother when sleeping.
Yubao's brain was quick, and he negotiated, "Mom, we can sleep with you every three days, okay?"
Lin Zhao thought this frequency was a bit high, so she smiled and said, "Maybe once a week, on my day off."
Having four kids is less of a hassle, but it’s still tiring to take care of them.
Gu Chenghuai didn't want to tire his wife out, so he also spoke up: "Your mother has to go to work and needs a good sleep. The four of you are not good at sleeping, you like to kick people, you like to move your arms around, and some of you even snore, which will affect your mother..."
Hengbao was frightened and guilty.
He kicks people, moves around a lot, and snores a little. Is that him?
Before his father could finish, Yu Bao interrupted Gu Chenghuai with a serious face: "Okay, one week is enough. We can do it."
I can’t let my mother sleep poorly.
Hearing that he could sleep with his mother once a week, Hengbao was very satisfied, and his droopy brows suddenly brightened up.
Happy.
Tiechui was reluctant to let the twins leave. He hugged Yubao and Hengbao, tears welling up in his eyes. "Yubao, Hengbao, I can't bear to leave you." He said in a tearful voice.
Yubao patted his good brother's shoulder like a little adult, "It's okay, you can sleep with us."
Tiechui's tearful expression paused, and his eyes, as if washed by water, were unusually bright, full of anticipation, "Is it okay?"
"Of course." Yubao said, "You and I can sleep in the same bed, and we can hug Xiaojin to sleep."
Tiechui was even more excited. He looked at Lin Zhao and Gu Chenghuai, put his hands together, and his palm-sized black face was full of sincere pleading, "Aunt San, Uncle San, is it okay?"
Lin Zhao nodded. "Sure, Libao can stay as long as you want. Your uncle and I welcome you. But there is a prerequisite. You have to get your father and mother's permission."
Hearing this, Xiao Tiechui went to bother Gu Yuanshan and Huang Xiulan.
"Dad, Mom..."
Huang Xiulan smiled, "Go, go, go if you want to go. Since you like the third room so much, why not just give you to your third uncle and aunt!"
In an instant, Xiao Tiechui's eyes were brighter than the sun, and he said excitedly, "Is it okay?"
"Give me to my uncle and aunt!?"
That way he will have countless candies.
(≧??)
Huang Xiulan: “…”
Huang Xiulan was so angry that she pinched her youngest son's cheek, "You are such a heartless little bastard."
The little boy Tiechui screamed loudly because he was pinched.
He asked incoherently: "...Love, no, love?"
It's about asking if it's possible.
Huang Xiulan let go of her hand and gave her son a look, "Don't even think about it."
Little Tiechui's eyes dimmed, and he looked at his mother accusingly, "Then you said you would give me to my uncle and aunt. You are an adult, why are you still lying to children? You are so mean!"
Hengbao also snorted at his aunt, like a cute little pig, and expressed dissatisfaction: "My aunt is so mean!"
Even the sensible Yu Bao looked at his aunt with resentment and sighed like a child.
"Pfft..." Zhao Liuniang couldn't help laughing and looked at her sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, don't make such jokes in the future. My kids will take it seriously."
Three cute five-year-old+ children nodded their heads seriously.
That's right.
They will take it seriously.
After dinner, the third family went back to their room to pack up.
First roll up the bedding, then fold the clothes, and put the folded clothes into the wooden box.
The books are put into the bamboo basket.
There are still a lot of malted milk, sugar, biscuits, etc. in the snack cabinet.
"Yubao, Hengbao, there are still a lot of candies left here. I'll leave half of them for you. When you finish them, I'll buy you new ones. What do you think?" Lin Zhao discussed with his sons, "Children can't eat too much candy, or their teeth will get rotten. If these candies are left there all the time, they will get rotten, and it will be a waste."
Yubao had no objection, "Sure, keep half. Give it to me, so I can share it."
Lin Zhao felt that her eldest son was very smart and that it was most reasonable for him to take care of his mother, which also saved her a lot of worry.
He looked at Yu Bao with appreciation.
"Okay, let's listen to Yubao."
Hengbao grabbed Lin Zhao's arm and said eagerly, "I'm willing to share, too."
Lin Zhao rubbed her son's soft face and smiled with her eyes curved.
"Our Hengbao is also a generous child."
Hengbao grinned foolishly.
Gu's mother was making cloth shoes for the younger generation in the house. People in the countryside used to wear out their shoes and had to replace them every few months. Women in every household made shoes whenever they had time, and the Gu family was no exception.
“Boom boom boom…”
There were several knocks on the door.
As soon as she heard the knock on the door, Gu's mother knew it was the third son's wife.
The eldest and second sons' wives had no idea to knock on the door.
"The door is not closed." she said loudly.
Lin Zhao opened the bamboo curtain and entered the room, placing the things she had brought with her on the wooden cabinet. "Mom, please accept these candies."
Mother Gu put down the half-finished insole, stood up and walked over.
I was surprised to see the various kinds of candies in the bamboo basket.
"What is this for? Keep it for the four kids."
Lin Zhao smiled, "I'm saving them for them. They can't be kept for too long or they'll go bad. You can keep them and share them with the children in the old house."
Since her daughter-in-law had said so, Mother Gu did not act pretentiously and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll take it."
After delivering the candies, Lin Zhao didn't delay any longer and went back to the third room to continue cleaning up. It took her less than half an hour to finish.
Then.
All members of the Gu family went out.
"I'm going to my second uncle's house to borrow a car!" Gu Qingzhou said, and trotted to his second uncle's house.
The children in the old house didn't wait for the cart. They picked up what they could carry and went to the new yard of the third house one by one.
"Yubao, Hengbao, take the things you are moving now to your room, where the beds are." Lin Zhao was afraid that the children would put their things in the yard and block the way, so when she saw them walking out, she hurriedly reminded them.
"I know." Hengbao said loudly.
He was carrying his own small backpack and holding in his arms the small pillows of him, his brother and the twins, which were piled very high, but he walked very nimbly with his short legs.
Under the attention of the whole village, a group of children came to the Gu family's new yard.
Yubao looked at each room one by one, and in the room on the left he saw... a bed?
This bed is weird.
Half of it has two floors, and the other half is a low wooden bed. They are connected together, which looks very novel.
There are no sharp corners, and the wood is all polished smooth and in round shapes.
"Brother, is this a small ladder!?" Heng Bao shouted loudly, "It's the same as the upper bunk on the train."
He said happily, "Brother, I want to live on the upper bunk."
With his mother's encouragement, Yubao no longer always gives way to his younger siblings and starts to express his own ideas.
The little boy looked at his brother and said, "Hengbao, I want to live on the upper bunk, too. Can we take turns?"
Hengbao is not overbearing and is especially generous to his brother who is his half-sister.
Her smile is like the little sun.
"sure."
"We came out of our mother's belly together, so we like the same things. I know that my brother also likes the top bunk."
He acted like a spoiled child towards his brother, "Brother, can I stay first?"
Yubao was happy to let his brother stay, "Well, you stay first, I'll stay tomorrow night."
"OK."
At this time, Xiao Jin jumped onto the wooden bed, climbed to the upper bunk, patrolled every corner, and finally slid down from the leftmost slide.
Seeing it in action, the children all opened their mouths wide.
"!!"
"Brother, this is slideable!" Hengbao leaned over to the slide, his eyes shining, and exclaimed: "Brother, you don't have to use the small ladder to get out of bed, you can slide down from here."
Yubao also knew it and his face turned red with excitement.
The twins' eyes danced.
Seeing this, the children in the village were extremely envious.
Yubao and Hengbao have such a fun bed, but they don’t have such a fun bed.
The twins' parents are so nice!
Yuanbao also wanted a bed like this. He asked Yubao, "Yubao, did your father make this bed for you?"
"No, my father can only do simple carpentry work, not complicated carpentry work." Yu Bao smiled happily, "My father asked a carpenter to do it for us, and my mother drew the blueprint."
Yuanbao asked in confusion: "What is a blueprint?"
Yubao thought his friend was a little clumsy, but he didn't mind. He touched his own bed and explained in a crisp voice, "The blueprint is a drawing. My mother drew the shape of the bed and marked the dimensions. The carpenter grandfather made it according to the drawing. That's it... We have a new bed."
Little Yuanbao felt it was impressive.
Wow in admiration.
"Yubao, my mother can't draw blueprints. Can I borrow the blueprints drawn by Aunt Lin? I want your bed too."
Children will never feel embarrassed. They say whatever they think and are very innocent.
Yubao hesitated, "The blueprint belongs to my mother. I need to ask her."
Yuan Bao nodded heavily, reminding his friend, "Don't forget it."
"Yeah, I remember that!"
After admiring the bed, the children looked at the wooden table by the window.
Original wood color.
The height is suitable for children and it is very wide. There are several shelves against the left wall. I don’t know what they are used for.
Tie Niu asked curiously, "Yubao, Hengbao, what are these racks for?"
Hengbao said excitedly, "I know, this is for comic books and picture albums! And our copybooks and notebooks can also be put in there!"
There was a noise outside the yard.
The men of the Gu family came, and they carried the bed and went into the room on the right in one go.
