After the masters left, Tang Shiyan had to hurry to ask for leave from the team leader. Halfway there, she saw the team leader heading to work.
Tang Shiyan: "Uncle Captain, are you going to work? I came to ask you for a day off today. My new house is finished and I plan to move in today."
The team leader said: "Okay, little girl, can you move it by yourself? Do you want me to ask your Aunt Huilan to come and help you?"
"No need, Captain, I can do it by myself. I don't have much stuff anyway, so I can finish it in no time. Don't delay your work. Don't we rely on work points to survive now? If you delay for a day, you will lose a day's work points."
"Well, you're the only one who thinks a lot every day. I'm going to work now. If you have anything, come and find me and your Aunt Huilan."
"Got it, Captain."
Tang Shiyan took a leave and immediately returned to her home to pack up her things and started moving. She moved several times by herself before she finished moving. She first packed up the things she moved and put them in order, then went to clean the house she lived in before. In no time, she cleaned the house spotlessly, locked the door, and returned the key to the team leader.
The captain looked at Tang Shiyan and felt happy for her because she finally had her own new home. At first, he thought this girl was so pitiful when she was separated and had nothing. He was afraid that she would do something stupid. He didn't expect that she is living such a good life now and has even built a new house for herself.
Tang Shiyan looked at her new house with a full sense of accomplishment and felt particularly happy in her heart. This was her true home in this era.
Now she has almost everything, and she would quietly take out some from time to time. Anyway, no one knows how much stuff she has.
After cleaning up everything, she went to the kitchen and started cooking dinner. She had agreed to invite the construction workers for a drink, and she kept her word. She planned to make a few more home-cooked dishes and a pheasant stewed with mushrooms. She couldn't make such a big move with them around.
The rice was mixed with bran, unlike the large, white, and clean rice she usually ate, and the steamed buns were made with cornmeal.
Just when it was getting dark, the masters arrived one after another and called the team leader and his wife Meng Huilan. Everyone sat together, eating and chatting, and the atmosphere was very good.
After eating and drinking, everyone started chatting and talked about their previous lives. The team leader said: The living conditions now are better than before. We used to eat tree bark and roots every day. I am scared when I think about it now.
Master Chen: "Yes, I'm scared when I think about life back then. Even though life now isn't great, it's better than before. At least now I have food to eat and can grow some vegetables myself."
Others also agreed, and Tang Shiyan nodded. She thought that her life would get better and better in the future.
The captain said: "Little girl, the food you cooked is so delicious that I couldn't help but eat a little more. It seems that I will have a good sleep tonight and won't wake up hungry again."
Meng Huilan widened her eyes and said, "Old man, please don't slander me in front of this little girl. It's as if I didn't cook for you."
"With such a large family like ours, if we don't save a little, and the food we have is gone all at once with just a few work points, are you going to become a beggar or a homeless person?"
"You bitch, I didn't say anything to you, but you're still excited. Of course I know you are frugal. I just drank a little tonight and sighed."
Meng Huilan: "I think you've had too much to drink and started talking nonsense. You'd better come back with me, so as not to embarrass yourself in front of this little girl."
Tang Shiyan laughed out loud twice. "Aunt Huilan, this is how you get along with the captain. Maybe the captain is afraid of you. As long as you speak, he will be very obedient."
Meng Huilan: "Haha, little girl, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. It's not as good as you say. Your captain uncle has the final say in everything. I don't care about those things. I just want to be an idle person and do what I should do."
"Little girl, you must have a lot of things to do since you just moved in. I'll be leaving with your captain first. Thank you for treating us to dinner and drinks."
"The others followed suit and said a few words before returning to their homes."
Tang Shiyan quickly cleaned up the dishes, cleaned the room, and after washing up, she quickly lay down on the bed. It was so comfortable to live in a new house. The bed was also new, and the quilt, sheets, and quilt covers were all new. She lay on the soft bed and fell asleep in a short while.
After slept until she woke up naturally, Tang Shiyan got up, washed, and had breakfast. She was about to carry a basket to get the farm tools and go to the hillside to collect grass for the pigs. Just as she locked the door, she saw Mrs. Zhou and her family walking towards her.
Tang Shiyan: "What do you want to see me for? Don't you need to go to work? Why are you coming to me so early in the morning? This is not the place where you work."
Old Lady Zhou: "Hey, how can you talk like that? You don't even know how to call grandpa, grandma, dad, or mom. Now you've really grown up. You have the money to build such a beautiful house by yourself. Since you have built such a big and beautiful house, since you can't live in it alone anyway, let's move in and live with you."
Feng Lihong also agreed, "Yes, little bitch, your grandma is right. We used to be a family. We worked so hard to raise you. Now you have built such a nice house. No matter what, you have to ask us to come and live with you. We are your parents, and your grandparents are your elders."
Tang Shiyan: "Old lady Zhou, I think you have paranoia. I remember that we no longer have any relationship. Don't you know that you signed it in black and white?"
"Since you want to live in a new house so badly, why don't you build it yourself? With such a large family with hands and feet, can't you build a house?"
"And your Aunt Feng, your name seems to be on the family division document as well. It seems like you are no longer my mother and have no right to dictate things to me. You also said that we used to be a family, but that was in the past and it's in the past. We no longer have any relationship."
"If you want to live in a new house, you can ask your two good sons, Tang Zehuai and Tang Zeyu, to find someone to help you build it. Haven't you always loved your two sons? How come they don't even have a decent house now?"
"It's just your two good-for-nothing sons who idle around all day, can't do anything, and only know how to eat for free. How could they have the ability to build a new house? You are destined to live in that shabby house for the rest of your lives."
"Have you forgotten how you treated me back then? Do you want me to remind you of what I did to you? Now that you see I've built a new house, you're trying to curry my favor again. I think you're just jealous."
