Breakfast was simple: I made some porridge and fried some scrambled eggs.
After Zhao Xiaolan finished eating, she discovered that all the materials she used for making clothes had been put away, and only then did she realize that they were moving.
Unable to help, Lu Wanqing let her play with Xueqiu in the yard, which was also her last day there.
While we were busy packing, a noisy commotion came from the east room.
It was nothing more than Wang Xiuqin wanting Zhou Ling to get up in the morning to cook, but Zhou Ling was too lazy to pay attention to her and slept until Wang Xiuqin had finished cooking before getting up. Neither of them was willing to give in, so they started arguing.
"Mom, Lingling works very hard at night, so please don't wake her up so early in the future!" Lin Gou Dan was very protective of Zhou Ling.
Wang Xiuqin was furious. There were some unpleasant noises in their room all night, which prevented her from sleeping well. She also had to get up and cook for one more person. They had agreed to push all the work out to others!
She said irritably, "Can't you all just be quiet tonight? Can't a person get a good night's sleep?!"
Zhou Ling glanced at the porridge mixed with a lot of sorghum rice with disdain, and slowly began to drink it. The sorghum rice made her throat hurt, so she had to stop and whine to Lin Gou Dan, "Gou Dan, this food is so awful. Can't you just drink plain rice porridge?"
Lin Gou Dan smiled and coaxed her, "Okay, okay, I'll make you something delicious for lunch."
He turned to Wang Xiuqin and said rudely, "Mom, did you hear that? After you finish eating, hurry up and cut some meat. We want to eat meat!"
This time, Lin Jianguo couldn't stand it anymore and hit him on the back of the head with the tip of his chopsticks. "You brat, how dare you talk to your mother like that? If you want meat, go buy it and cook it yourself!"
Wang Xiuqin glared at Zhou Ling and said coldly, "The neighbors next door are starting to move. Stop thinking about food all day and get to work!"
Zhou Ling rolled her eyes, slammed the bowl down on the table, and said angrily, "I know!"
She didn't want her neighbors to have an easy time either. Last time, the couple embarrassed her brother in front of so many people, and she had wanted revenge for a long time.
Unexpectedly, Lin Ye has been exchanging grain for so much money these days, enough to make Lu Wanqing eat and drink well every day.
How come Lu Wanqing is so lucky?
She was also a married woman, but she had nothing.
Last time, I was thinking of letting Lin Gou Dan take the family's grain to exchange for money, but I found out that because Lin Gou Dan didn't work hard, he didn't even get basic grain. In the end, the whole family only got more than 800 catties of grain, which wasn't enough for their own family to eat, let alone exchange for money.
However, the thought of her neighbor moving out soon brightened her mind again.
She slowly walked to the west side and began to deliberately try to get closer to Zhao Xiaolan. Zhao Xiaolan, unable to distinguish between good and bad, actually exchanged a few words with her.
"Auntie, your family is moving. Is there anything you don't want anymore? Could you give it to me?" Zhou Ling asked with a smile.
Zhao Xiaolan pursed her lips and thought for a moment, then said, "I won't take the manure from the latrine behind my house; I'll give it all to you!"
Zhou Ling was furious, but she continued to provoke him, "I meant some food and household items, like hairy crabs or something. Could you give me some?"
Upon hearing the word "hairy crab," Zhao Xiaolan immediately looked at her warily and said, "I think you look like a hairy crab. Stop asking me all these questions, you ugly thing!"
Zhou Ling was furious. The person in question was an elder, and not very clear-headed. She couldn't argue back after being scolded. She was so frustrated.
Fortunately, Lin Gou Dan came over and stood with her.
Lin Gou Dan hasn't even had a taste of Zhou Ling's flesh yet, so he's been coaxing and pampering her, afraid of upsetting her.
Seeing that she only wanted to eat hairy crabs, he shouted into the house, "Brother and sister-in-law, we're coming over, why don't you come out and see us? Isn't that incredibly impolite!"
After a long silence, he shouted even louder: "Since you're not coming out, I'll come in. You didn't even give us a wedding gift, so I'll just take a few hairy crabs myself!"
Before he could even lift his foot, Zhao Xiaolan had already blocked his way, and Xueqiu bared its teeth, striking an unapproachable pose in front of them.
"If you dare step into my house, I'll stab you to death with crabs!"
Seeing that he couldn't ignore it anymore, Lin Ye came out of the house with his fists raised.
“We didn’t give you anything for your wedding, so how about we give you a couple of punches now?” He waved his fist.
Zhou Ling quickly put on a smile and said in a high-pitched voice, "Big brother, don't be so angry! We heard you were moving, so we just wanted to come and help."
Lin Ye felt a churning in his stomach. Hearing Zhou Ling speak, he felt nauseous!
"Get out of here, we don't need your help here." He didn't hold back at all.
I really admire these two's thick skin, it's thicker than a city wall! Lin Ye gave them a stern look and told them to leave, but it had no effect on them. They just stood there, peering longingly into the house.
Lu Wanqing couldn't bear to watch any longer, so she took a basin of crab bathwater and splashed it on the spot where they were standing.
"Where did these crows come from? They've been cawing at the door all morning. Snowball, get rid of those eyesores!"
Zhou Ling and Lin Gou Dan were so angry that they screamed and yelled, but in the end they were chased away by Xue Qiu.
Their clothes got soaked, so they went home to change, grumbled to each other for a long time, and then went out.
After they left, Luo Hao and Luo Chunlei finished their breakfast and came over to help.
Luo Hao arrived in a tractor. The tractor driver was scared by Lin Ye last time and didn't dare to come and help again.
There is a narrow road in front of Lin Ye's house, so the tractor can't drive in and has to be parked on a wider road about 200 meters away.
Two hundred meters isn't far, but those large items require several people to carry. And a traditional Chinese canopy bed can't be disassembled too much; once disassembled, it might not be able to be reassembled.
To lift the bed, Lu Wanqing also lifted one corner of the bed, and she was covered in sweat as soon as she stepped out of the room.
"Sister-in-law Wanqing, you should stay here. I'll call my older brother over," Luo Chunlei said hurriedly. They had really underestimated the weight of the bed.
At this moment, Lin Jianguo walked over with his hands behind his back and silently extended his hand.
"Come on, I'll help you move it."
"Uncle~" Lin Ye called out, wanting to speak but not knowing what to say.
Lin Jianguo's deeply lined face twitched. "You little brat, you still know I'm your uncle, but you don't even ask if I can help you. After you move away, it'll be hard to see you again."
To be honest, apart from being a bit of a coward, Lin Jianguo didn't have any other major flaws.
Lin Ye was grateful to him for finally giving up the house and not causing any more trouble.
Since he wants to help, let him help!
Lin Ye looked at Lu Wanqing, exchanged a glance with her, and then shouted "one, two, three" to lift the bed up.
They hadn't walked far when Wang Xiuqin chased after Lin Jianguo, yelling, "You good-for-nothing! Now you know how to do good deeds? Take a piss and look in the mirror, see if people appreciate it!"
In Wang Xiuqin's view, Lin Jianguo is a terrible teammate on the road to a better life!
