Chapter 236 Joy and Celebration
Zheng Wenbi also knew Zhang Chunxue's thoughts. Given the size of the Song family, it wouldn't be a problem for Zhang Chunxue and the others to stay at home all day without working. However, she knew that they would definitely not be able to stay idle.
Although she could find ways to arrange jobs for Zhang Chunxue and Zhou Mingli, but...
Zhang Chunxue could earn several hundred yuan a month by setting up a stall, but now even if she were given a better job, she would only earn thirty or forty yuan a month at most!
To be honest, Zheng Wenbi actually admires Zhang Chunxue quite a bit.
She has a lot of money now, but she also knows that as long as Zhang Chunxue has nothing to do, she works hard every day making braised dishes and stews to sell, which is really reassuring.
She is now increasingly understanding why her youngest son likes Zhang Chunxue so much.
She likes it too!
Zheng Wenbi suppressed her thoughts and smiled again: "By the way, Chunxue, Mingli, Xiaoxiao, come with me to see the rooms we've arranged for you. Is there anything you don't like, or anything you're missing? I'll go and prepare it in a bit."
She held Zhou Mingli's hand with one hand and Zhong Xiaoxiao's arm with the other.
Song Xingzhi then took Zhang Chunxue's hand and said, "Our room should be the one I stayed in before. Let me show you!"
Zheng Wenbi waved her hand and said, "Alright, alright, you two go ahead. I'll take Mingli and Xiaoxiao to see their rooms."
Song Xingzhi was right; the room Zheng Wenbi arranged for them was indeed the same room Song Xingzhi used to live in.
However, almost all the furniture in the room has been replaced with new ones, and even the blankets, sheets, and pillowcases on the bed are bright red, giving it a very newlywed feel.
Song Xingzhi was speechless: "Mom, really. Chunxue and I have been married for half a year... why doesn't she put up some 'double happiness' characters at home?"
Zhang Chunxue couldn't help but chuckle: "I can understand Mom's thinking. It's my first time visiting my in-laws' house, so she naturally wants to make it as festive as possible."
"Besides, the Chinese New Year is just over a month away, so it's normal to be festive."
Song Xingzhi placed Zhang Chunxue's hand to his lips and gently kissed it: "I was afraid you wouldn't like it, Sister Chunxue."
Although they used bright red sheets and duvet covers when they got married, it was only for a short time. Later, Zhang Chunxue put those away, and the bedding she usually used was in more elegant colors.
Zhang Chunxue, on the other hand, seemed indifferent: "It's just something we need. As long as it works, that's fine. Let's not let Mom down."
Seeing that Zhang Chunxue's face showed no impatience or reluctance, Song Xingzhi breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Chunxue walked to the window, pushed it open, and was greeted by a lush green view.
Although it's already winter, the weather has been nice these past two days, with no snow. There are some evergreen plants in the courtyard, and although some deciduous trees look bare, the ground is very clean, so there's no bleak feeling like winter.
It must be said that Song Xingzhi's family has taken great care of their courtyard house.
Song Xingzhi walked up to her, put his arm around her waist, and rested his head on her shoulder.
"Do you like it, Chunxue?" he asked softly.
Zhang Chunxue hesitated for a moment before answering, "Yes, I like it."
Song Xingzhi couldn't help but laugh: "Sister Chunxue, I know you're thinking that no matter how nice this place is, it's not our home, right?"
He added, "I know that what you mean by 'home' is our little family, not that you dislike the relationship between my parents and my older brother."
He looked at Zhang Chunxue with a smile: "But actually, my parents also prepared a smaller courtyard house for me, not far from here."
"It's just Chinese New Year, so we'll definitely be staying together... I'll take you to see it when I have some free time in a couple of days?"
Zhang Chunxue was genuinely surprised: "You still have a separate house?"
“That’s right!” Song Xingzhi shrugged. “Our Song family has quite a few members, and everyone knows the saying that a big tree branches out.”
“My older brother will definitely be responsible for taking care of my parents in their old age. They will live together, so he will inherit this courtyard house. Therefore, the family will definitely have to arrange another house for me! It can't be that I live with my older brother's family!”
“After all, according to my grandfather’s original plan, my older brother and I would get married and have children, and then our children would get married and have children... If we don’t move out, will we have enough room to live?”
Even his father was like that.
His eldest uncle, Song Yadong, was responsible for his grandparents' care and lived with them, while his parents were separated from them.
Although they separated, their relationship has remained very good.
The Song family has no shortage of unity.
Song Xingzhi hugged Zhang Chunxue even tighter: "If you don't like that little courtyard house later, we can ask Mom and Dad to buy you another one you like, okay?"
Zhang Chunxue nudged him with her elbow: "I'm not that ignorant."
This is the Second Ring Road of Beijing! Even if Song Xingzhi's small courtyard house is not far away, the worst it would be is the Third Ring Road... In this location, if it were sold in later years, it would fetch a huge sum of money!
Song Xingzhi then pressed Zhang Chunxue down into a chair: "Sister Chunxue, rest for a while, I'll bring our luggage up..."
However, he made a point of closing the window before leaving.
It's freezing cold today, I hope the wind doesn't catch Chunxue's chill.
However, as soon as Song Xingzhi opened the door, he saw their luggage already placed outside.
Song Xingzhi smiled knowingly.
He immediately guessed that it was Song Xingyun who delivered it, and in order not to disturb them, he deliberately did not knock on the door.
Song Xingzhi brought in the luggage, and the two of them began to unpack.
As soon as Zhang Chunxue opened the wardrobe, she saw some of the most fashionable cotton-padded clothes and overcoats in Beijing.
It's obvious that this was prepared by Zheng Wenbi and Qian Xiaowan.
I have to say, they are really thoughtful.
Song Xingzhi took them out and let Zhang Chunxue try them on; each one fit perfectly.
Song Xingzhi, however, searched high and low but couldn't find what he had prepared for himself, and his lips twitched.
"Mom and sister-in-law are really biased!"
Zhang Chunxue smiled and said, "Is it because they think Dad and my older brother will prepare it for you?"
Song Xingzhi said with a look of disgust: "There is absolutely no such possibility!"
The two chatted and laughed as they packed their luggage. It got a bit hot, so Song Xingzhi opened the window a crack.
But as soon as the window opened, his eyes lit up immediately: "Sister Chunxue, it's snowing!"
Zhang Chunxue also went to the window and looked out. Sure enough, it started snowing heavily outside.
The snow had just fallen and hadn't accumulated yet; only a few specks of white could be seen on the leaves of the evergreen shrubs.
