She got up early and cooked for the whole family. It was just the last meal, so she had to show off in front of her man.
The conditions were simple and the ingredients were scarce, but by this time, she had mastered the original owner's usual way of cooking.
Multi-grain pancakes, wild vegetables, porridge... There's no other way. This is the condition of the family. This is all that Old Lady Shi can give them. She won't take the initiative to use the supplies in the space to replenish them.
After cooking, he went to clean up the small stones and then went to eat. Obviously, he was the last one to eat, and everyone was used to it, so no one spoke.
But everyone seemed to have forgotten that her man had also returned. Seeing the inexplicable coldness in the man's eyes, Chu Xi realized that she had just completed a small goal and was deliberately playing the victim.
It seems that she is not having a good time in this family!
Chu Xi quickly cleared the table and dishes.
Then……
Chu Xi picked up the child and looked straight at Shi Peng. The urgency in her eyes was obvious to everyone.
"Okay, let's go right away." After Shi Peng finished speaking, he was about to reach out and touch his wife's head again. However, this time they were close and she was short, so his hand reached directly to the top of her head. When he wanted to stop, he had already touched the top of her head. For a moment, both of them were stunned.
Shi Peng awkwardly rubbed it lightly and quickly took his hand away, while Chu Xi immediately lowered her head, as if hiding or shy...
Grandpa Shi Peng's house is closer to the mountain, at the end of the village. They basically passed through the entire village, which made Chu Xi happy again. The farther away from those extreme family members, the better.
The house is still an adobe house, and the thatched roof has started to leak due to wind and rain and lack of maintenance. Fortunately, it has been vacant for less than two years, otherwise it would have collapsed completely in five or six years.
But the conditions are like this now. After another year of repairs, Chu Xi also wants to live in a mansion or a villa, but I can't do it...
By the way, after deciding to split up the family, she unknowingly exposed her girlish nature and some of her little thoughts. She should be careful in the future and not accidentally reveal the secrets of her past life, otherwise she would become a monster.
Soon they arrived at Grandpa Shi Peng's old house. There were three main rooms. The east wing was the kitchen and woodshed, the west wing was a storage room, and the toilet was in the corner.
The yard is small, but it has all the functional rooms. The large area of land left in the yard and behind it is suitable for growing vegetables and raising livestock.
It's absolutely perfect! The house is in a prime location, with the mountains at the back and the nearest neighbor more than a hundred meters away. The courtyard wall is still intact, and once it's repaired, the secret here won't be easily exposed. Of course, it would be even more perfect if half the roof wasn't leaking.
After thinking about it, Chu Xi decided to divide the family completely. Otherwise, even if their family became better off and wealthy in the future, they would still be entangled in the issue of this house.
While Shi Peng was looking at houses, Chu Xi came to the home of Shi Kong, the team leader of the production team. Shi Kong was a farmer in his forties. Because he was well-educated and fair in his work, he was trusted by everyone and had the final say in the village.
"Uncle Shi, he's at home." Chu Xi said enthusiastically, and took out a few candies from his pocket and gave them to the children playing in the yard.
Upon hearing this, Shi Kong stopped what he was doing and turned to look at Chu Xi.
He also heard about what happened at Old Man Shi's house. There was a big commotion last night, so he thought about going to check it out today. He didn't expect Chu Xi to come to him today and even take out a few candies. He seemed to be a very capable person.
So he greeted with a smile, "Is Shi Peng from here? What's going on?"
The simple folk customs, the captain asked directly.
"Uncle Shi, we split up last night. Did you hear about it? They said they'd give us the old house, and we don't want anything else. Does this house require any documentation or proof? Don't let us get confused later..."
The captain quickly understood Chu Xi's intention and was obviously afraid that the Shi family would harass them again with the house issue in the future.
"You've split up your family, haven't you? I'll give you a letter of introduction. First, go to the commune and separate your household registrations. Then I'll ask Old Man Shi and the others. Since the two elders in this old house have passed away, they're supposed to reclaim the land. Should they just redistribute it to you, or do you want to carve out a new piece for yourselves?"
Chu Xi thought about it and decided that it would be better to make a clear distinction. Although it would be a bit hard, it would make her feel comfortable living there.
"Then let's mark out a new area next to the old house. If no one lives in the old house, we can grow some vegetables or use it as a warehouse."
"Okay, then I'll give you a letter of introduction." The captain readily gave him the letter of introduction. After Chu Xi thanked him, he returned to the old house.
Seeing Shi Peng, she opened her mouth, not knowing how to address this man of hers...
"Husband?" Too affectionate, too yet to admit it.
"Husband?" So disgusting.
"Shi Peng?" It felt a bit awkward.
Shi Peng didn't seem to notice her embarrassment and spoke first.
"I didn't notice you for a while, where have you been?"
"I was thinking of asking about the household registration and homestead. This house is too dilapidated. Why don't we rebuild it?" As he said this, he showed him the letter of introduction that had just been issued.
Shi Peng was actually thinking about this problem as well. If the house was repaired, it would definitely not be as solid and comfortable as a new one. This house might be older than he was. He also wanted to take advantage of his half-month vacation to settle the mother and daughter down.
But this daughter-in-law is quite opinionated. She was indeed a bit dull before.
"Okay, you have to go for the household registration. Are you going to take the child to the commune alone? Otherwise, leave Xiao Shitou behind and you go by ox cart. I'll go find Dad and the team leader to allocate a new homestead and then do some simple renovations on this old house today."
His household registration is still in the army, and his family is basically an illegal resident.
Chu Xi quickly told him what he was thinking and looked at the location again. It was not bad. It was like having two more courtyards.
"It's okay, I've been there several times. Don't worry. At worst, I can just walk slowly and come back in the afternoon." She was deliberately paving the way for going to the black market, otherwise there wouldn't be enough time.
So, Chu Xi happily took Xiao Shitou to the commune.
In fact, she mainly wanted to handle more goods. The new house would cost a lot of money, and she also needed to buy a lot of things in the house.
Not long after leaving the village, Chu Xi once again put the little stone into the space children's room, and thus the wonderful and rich preschool education began again.
Little Stone, who sat quietly listening and occasionally cooperating with the movements, was even more meticulous. I guess she has gotten used to the life here.
They quickly went to the commune to apply for a new household registration. Since Shi Peng was a soldier and his household registration was in the army, Chu Xi was the head of the new household registration, and the only member was Shi Feiyu, also known as Little Stone.
After coming out, she thought about it and decided to go to the county town to ship the goods. At least she knew Wang Tao and could cash out quickly.
