Su Lin frowned and asked, "Xiaohua, where was Dad assigned to build the railway?"
"West Sichuan," Su Hua explained, "The railway in West Sichuan had just been built, and they were in great need of talent. The Shanghai Railway Bureau wanted to send someone abroad, but no one wanted to go, so the position naturally fell on Dad."
"Western Sichuan..." Su Lin said worriedly, "The conditions there aren't very good."
"It's Dad's turn because of bad things." Su Hua said helplessly: "Good things can't fall on Dad's head."
It is normal for the whole family to be implicated when a bad person appears in the family. Su Lin never thought that the consequences would be so serious.
Not only were the twins sent to the countryside, but even Su Kang was exiled far away from Shanghai by his unit.
We can’t even keep people, let alone houses.
"Sister, it's cold outside, come in." Su Hua opened the attic door and let Su Lin in.
As she entered the room, she said, "This room is small, only big enough for two people at most. Dad went to western Sichuan and won't be back for a couple of days, so I'm the only one living here now. If you don't have anywhere else to go, you can stay with me for a couple of days before you go to work at the bakery."
The attic is not big, and it is filled with various things pulled out from the original house, making the already narrow space even more cramped.
There were two wooden beds in the innermost part, with a tattered bed sheet hanging in the middle as a curtain.
Looking at the simple room, Su Lin frowned, a look of disgust flashed in her eyes. She had nowhere to go at the moment, and even if she disliked this attic, she had to move in temporarily.
The attic had not been renovated for a long time, and Su Lin smelled a strong musty smell as soon as she entered the room.
The musty smell lingered at the tip of her nose, and Su Lin subconsciously covered her nose: "Xiaohua, why is there such a strong musty smell in this room? Why don't you do something about it?"
Su Hua replied, "That's how it is in the attic. The musty smell comes from the wood on the beams. Unless you spend a lot of money to replace the wood on the upper beams, it will still smell the same no matter how you fix it."
Replace the wood of the beams?
This is no small project, and it would cost a few bucks to do it.
Su Lin stopped talking for a moment, coughed lightly to cover up, and said to Su Hua, "Xiao Hua, besides the musty smell, the room is also a bit too messy. If you have time, you'd better tidy up the room properly, otherwise it will give people a bad impression. When I first came in, I thought I had entered a pigpen."
"The room is messy because there are too many things. There are too many things, and no matter how hard you try to organize them, they won't be organized neatly." Su Hua cleans every day, so the room is just messy, not dirty.
"Since there are so many things, let's clean some of them out. It's hard to live with so many things piled up in the house."
When Su Lin decided to settle down at Su Hua's house, she was dissatisfied with the clutter in the house.
The room is small to begin with, and it is now filled with all these miscellaneous items. The space for people to move around is not as big as the space taken up by the miscellaneous items.
"These are fruits I've cleaned up several times," Su Hua explained. "I've sold what I can, and I've given away what I can't. The rest are things others don't want, but I can't bear to throw them away, so I'll just put them here for now."
Su Lin said, "Things you don't need should be thrown away. Don't be reluctant to throw them away. Not only do they take up space, but if you don't use them in the end, you still have to throw them away."
Having said that, Su Hua really couldn't bear to let him go.
She also hoped that Su Kang's unit would return the yard where her family had lived for more than ten square meters.
These things were used in her previous home, but they are not needed now. When her family gets the house back in the future, she can continue to use them when she moves back. Otherwise, won’t she have to spend money to buy them?
She was determined to keep it and refused to listen no matter how hard Su Lin tried to persuade her.
Su Hua felt a little annoyed at his wasted words.
After going to the countryside for a while, even Su Hua, who had always been honest and obedient, dared to disobey her.
"Okay, okay, it's just a pile of junk. If you want to keep it, keep it. It'll just attract insects and rats."
"No way." Su Hua retorted.
Su Lin was too lazy to argue with Su Hua anymore and said perfunctorily: "Okay, okay, if you say you can't do it, then you can't do it."
She yawned and said sleepily, "Xiaohua, I've been sitting in a hard seat on the train for five days. I'm tired and sleepy, and my waist and legs ache. I'll sleep on your bed for a while. Call me when it's time for dinner."
"You want to sleep?" Su Hua said in surprise.
"No way?" Su Lin had already started taking off her cotton jacket and was ready to lie down on the bed.
