Chapter 180
The whole family was up early in the morning, even the little ones, who all got up at once, no need to be called. Feng Guizhi simply made a few pancakes, boiled a few eggs, and half a pot of porridge. After a quick breakfast, everyone was ready to set off.
Thinking that she would have to return home later, Feng Guizhi carefully hid some of the remaining food. After finally making sure that nothing was leaked, the whole family went out together.
Song Aiguo contacted the ox cart yesterday. Now several children were sitting on it, and the adults were walking beside it. They slowly left the Hongqi Production Brigade and went farther and farther away.
As the road ahead became increasingly unfamiliar, the Song family members couldn't help but glance back in the direction of the brigade, their eyes filled with indescribable complex emotions. Only when they could no longer see the road did they turn back and continue forward.
They boarded the bus to the county town. The adults were fine, but the children, seeing it was their first time riding a car, felt a bit carsick. Li Qingyan quickly found two motion sickness pills for them to take, and they finally felt better.
After stumbling along the way, we still had a long way to go after reaching the county town. Gradually, the spirits of the children began to wane. Tired and hungry, our pace slowed down.
"We'll be there soon. Our house is very close to the market. There are a lot of new things there that you haven't seen before. I'm sure you will like them."
"There's a department store over there. When I have time in a few days, I'll take you there for a tour."
"Look, it's over there."
Seeing that the children were not in good spirits, Song Jianye and Song Aiguo started talking, pointing at the building not far away. The children really perked up a little when they heard it, and looked over curiously.
They usually saw one-story brick and tile houses in the Hongqi Production Brigade. Now that they were in the county town, it was the first time they saw such a tall house. Although it was still some distance away, they could see it at a glance.
"Wow, that house is so tall~"
"Uncle, Third Uncle, is that the department store?"
"What's in the department store? Are there any White Rabbit candies?"
“There are so many houses here.”
“…”
Seeing the children showing interest, Song Aiguo and Song Jianye said with a smile, "Yes, there are not only White Rabbit candies in it, but also many other delicious foods, as well as Dacron clothes and watches..."
The two talked all the way, and the children also listened all the way.
They listened and walked without feeling tired, their eyes sparkling. Yang Yulan and Feng Guizhi were also returning to the county town for the first time. Seeing everything around them was so unfamiliar, so completely different from where they had lived before, they felt a strange feeling in their hearts. They didn't say anything at this moment, just listened quietly.
Before they knew it, they were almost there. Song Jianye pointed ahead and said, "We're almost there. Do you see that house in front? That's our home."
"Almost home?"
"What's your new home like? Is it the same as your previous home?"
The children were so excited that they didn't ask any more questions and just ran over. Feng Guizhi, Song Jianye and the others were carrying a lot of things in their hands and couldn't run any longer. They just walked slowly behind, keeping their eyes on the children in front.
Baoya was a little tired after riding in the car and walking for so long, so she didn't follow and walked beside Yang Yulan holding Tiantian's hand.
Yuanbao and the others had already arrived at the door of their home, but they didn't dare to go in for a moment. They turned to look at Song Jianye and Song Aiguo to confirm with them, for fear that they had found the wrong door and ran into someone else's house.
Song Jianye and Song Aiguo smiled and nodded at them: "That's the one, knock on the door."
After receiving a positive answer, Wenjie and Wenzhi bravely knocked on the door: "Dad, Mom, we're here~!"
"Dad, open the door quickly."
Chen Xiuxiu heard the noise and smiled: "They are all here, I will go open the door."
After saying that, she put down the things in her hands and quickly opened the door. Seeing the few children outside, Chen Xiuxiu's smile became even bigger and she called out, "Come in quickly."
Yuanbao Tianen and the others entered the house first, looking around curiously. Chen Xiuxiu didn't follow them in. She saw Feng Guizhi and the others not far away, walked forward, took the things and joined them.
As he walked, he said, "You're finally here. The house is almost cleaned up, and the kang in my mother's room is also set up. We have made up for some of the missing things. I don't know if everything is complete. You can go into the house and see if there is anything missing."
As they were talking, they arrived at the door. The chicken coop in the corner of the yard had already been set up, and Song Jianye quickly put the live chicken he brought in.
They had all seen their new home before, and now only Feng Guizhi and Yang Yulan had not been there. The two of them slowly looked at this place where they would live in the future, and they felt very satisfied.
"Mom, Third Sister-in-law, you are here." Song Jianshe greeted them and held their hands.
I took over everything in it.
"You must be tired from just arriving. Come inside and rest for a while." Song Jianshe explained the room layout to them. "Mom will still live in the room on the right. Eldest brother and his wife will live in the side room opposite. The smaller room next to hers will be perfect for Bowen, Boyu and the others. The two rooms side by side in the yard belong to second brother and his wife, and the other to third brother and his wife. Qingyan and I will live in the gatehouse."
The concierge Song Jianshe worked for was the one opposite the kitchen, right at the door, so he could hear any noise outside.
The housing allocation issue had been discussed before, so no one objected at this point. Feng Guizhi and Yang Yulan were feeling a bit tired after traveling all the way from the brigade to the county town, so everyone went back to their rooms.
"You guys take a rest. Suyun and I will go cook. We'll call you when we're done. Just lie down and relax for a while."
The kang in Feng Guizhi's room has been built, followed by the one in Bowen Boyu's room. Considering that Tiantian is still young, the third one is in Song Jianshe's room, which is now large enough for people to sleep in.
The remaining rooms of Song Aiguo and Song Aimin had not yet been started, while Song Jianye's room had just been built, with some finishing work to be done soon. However, no one could lie down yet, so Feng Guizhi called Yang Yulan and Baoya Tianen to her room.
However, the younger ones had no intention of resting at this moment. They all ran to the small side room, all very excited: "Big brother, second brother, are you going to live here from now on?"
"That's great. I want to live here too."
"Big Brother, if I don't want to sleep in my room anymore, can I come sleep in your room?"
"This house is so clean. It looks so nice."
“…”
The little ones walked around the room again and again, with indescribable envy on their faces.
Although the small side room was not large, it had a kang (a heated bed) on which Chen Xiuxiu had spread a clean quilt. It looked neat and tidy, and particularly comfortable. There was a small table next to it, where Bowen and Boyu's schoolbags and textbooks lay. In the corner was a simple clothes hanger for their winter clothes.
There aren’t many things and the layout is very simple, but the little ones all look very nice.
When they were in the brigade, every family lived in one room. But when they grew up, it was a little inconvenient. But there was no other way. There were no extra rooms for them to live in. Now that I am here, I see that Bowen Boyu has
Of course, they were envious of the separate room.
Bowen Boyu was very happy to have his own room. Seeing the envious eyes of his brothers and sisters, he said, "Okay, you can come over whenever you want."
He looked around and saw that the kang in the room was about 1.8 meters wide, which was enough for four or five people to sleep on horizontally. So, if Yuanbao and the others wanted to sleep on it, there would be enough space.
After staying in the house for a while, the children went out for a walk and looked around the new house carefully several times. They had felt tired on the way, but now they didn't feel tired at all.
It didn't take long for Chen Xiuxiu and Sun Suyun to prepare the meal, and the whole family had their first reunion dinner in the main hall of their new home.
Chen Xiuxiu said, "Time is tight, and Jianye has too much work to do, so we bought one first. The fourth brother knows someone who bought it for him for a small amount of money. As for the smaller one, your second brother can build a simple one first. When he has time in a few days, we can make a new table for him."
"Eat first, you must be exhausted from the journey."
Yang Yulan said a little embarrassedly: "Thank you for your hard work these days, sister-in-law and sister-in-law. You must have been busy too."
Chen Xiuxiu waved her hand: "This is what we should do. What's the big deal? We are working hard here, and you are also working hard cleaning up at home."
After saying that, he smiled and said, "Eat quickly. After you finish eating, let's see if there is anything you are missing. We still have a lot of work to do these few days."
Everyone was indeed tired and hungry, so they buried their heads and started eating.
When they were almost done eating, Song Jianshe put down his bowl and chopsticks and said, "School starts the day after tomorrow. The kids should go to Qingyan's school. It's convenient there and not far away. It will be easier to enroll with her."
Having family members at the school was a good thing, and Chen Xiuxiu and the others certainly had no objections. After they had almost finished eating, the family turned their heads to look at their new home, their eyes filled with infinite hope for the future.
The children looked at this somewhat unfamiliar new home and felt curious. But when they thought about going to a new school in a few days, they became a little nervous.
After dinner, the children felt tired and went to sleep in the small side room. Baoya, Tiantian, and Yunduo slept in Feng Guizhi's room. It was their first rest day in their new home, and the children all slept soundly.
After a short rest, the adults got back to work. They had packed up everything they had before, but today they brought a lot more stuff with them: food, clothes, and daily necessities. There were several large bags, and they had to pack them all up slowly.
In the evening, Feng Guizhi cooked, and Song Jianshe went out to buy a pound of pork and some snacks. The family had a good meal to celebrate the first day of reunion in their new home.
