Every time Mr. Cen talked about the scene of being chased by the big goose, he felt sympathetic. He was a man who dared to take up a gun and kill the enemy, but he was actually traumatized by the big goose. He only said this to his family, and he would never tell this to others because it was too embarrassing.
Cen Zixiang could still recall that scene, but since this was his own grandfather, he couldn't laugh no matter what he said. He quickly changed the subject: "Hey, this watermelon is really grown? The watermelon I just ate was the one we grew ourselves?"
Grandpa Cen was so proud when talking about this: "That's right, don't you see who takes care of this vegetable garden? I, your grandfather, am very good at it. I can learn it just by listening to others talk about it."
"See those next to the watermelon? That's a cantaloupe. The seeds were collected along with the watermelon seeds. I heard they're super sweet. It's a pity you won't be able to enjoy them. It'll be a few days before you can eat them. We'll pick them and eat them after you leave."
Cen Zixiang was so amused that he looked at his grandfather. He didn't have the authority of a leader like before, but acted like a child. "Then I will stay for two more days and leave after I have tasted it."
Grandma Cen was delighted when she heard this: "Can you really stay for two more days this time?" Although she was partial to her granddaughter, she had loved her grandson for all these years for a reason, so she still cared about him.
"Yes, my letter of introduction is valid for five days. I'm afraid something might happen to my younger sister, so I can stay a few more days."
"That's great. See if you can buy us some firewood tomorrow. Buy more. We have a big house and need a lot of firewood. It should be easy to buy in this season so we don't have to worry when the weather gets cold."
Old Man Cen quickly added, "Yes, yes, and let's get more coal and other things. I exchanged a lot of coal tickets with others this time. Let's stock up while others are not in a hurry."
Cen Zixiang...I thought you really missed me. You wanted me to help my little sister with the heavy work!
"Okay, I'll listen to you. If you have anything else, I can do it for you."
"Wait until the autumn harvest, and see if you can buy some more fine grains. Dabao's body doesn't look strong, so he needs more fine grains. I want to bring back as much grain as possible."
"Okay, I heard from the villagers that this year is a bumper year, and the crops in the fields look good." Even though Cen Zixiang has been in the countryside for several years, he doesn't know how to estimate the harvest.
The old couple also had some inconveniences when they came here, such as getting some scarce supplies. It was not as convenient as in the capital. After all, the connections here cannot be used up on trivial matters.
"Oh, and there's also glass. Dabao said they wanted to build a small greenhouse and try to grow vegetables in the winter."
The old man thought it was quite interesting to follow his granddaughter to tinker with things every day. No matter what his granddaughter said, the old man agreed with both hands.
Cen Zixiang...you really think highly of your grandson. He wants everything and you're not afraid that I can't get him.
"Let me ask. You know I'm not as good as my brothers, so I can only try."
Grandpa Cen curled his lips and said, "Promising."
Cen Zixiang stayed here for four days and was almost exhausted. On the last day, he went back to the countryside quickly. His grandfather really didn't treat him as his own grandson and didn't feel sorry at all when he ordered him around.
Grandpa Cen and Grandma Cen had completely opposite ideas to Cen Zixiang. They were very happy looking at the piles of firewood and the shed full of coal. This way they wouldn't have to worry about the winter at all, and their granddaughter wouldn't have to deal with these things, which would save them the heartache.
Chen Ye looked at the firewood piled in the two yards and twitched his lips. He wondered if it was too early to prepare for the winter. But when he saw the happy smiles on his grandparents' faces, he thought, okay, let the two old people work hard.
Chen Ye arrived at the cellar of her new house. She had never seen this cellar since she bought it. This cellar was separated from her original house by a wall, and it was also the one that allowed her to win another bonus.
It was a lot, a full two hundred yuan, which was almost as much as her annual salary.
I opened the cellar door with a flashlight. The entrance to the cellar was not in the kitchen, but in a small room. It was not eye-catching at all, and if you didn't know, you would think it was a storage room.
The cellars on both sides should have been designed by the same person, which means they were dug together with the original mansion, because the layout is almost exactly the same, except that the cellar on this side is larger.
Since she had no materials and couldn't make any changes at the moment, she planned to slowly take out the shelves in the cellar so that she could store more autumn vegetables in the fall.
After all, the greenhouse is still nowhere to be found, so what should we do in winter if we don’t store more autumn vegetables?
"Dabaoer, grandpa and grandma will help you clean up?"
Chen Ye quickly replied from the cellar: "No, the air isn't very good here. You'd better not come down. It's not very big here, I can do it myself."
The old lady didn't force him: "Okay, the bucket, rag and broom are all outside. If you need them, come up and get them."
"Oh, I see. You and my grandfather should go and rest first."
The old lady and the old man walked away, looking back every few steps. Xiao Si, their daughter, said that Ye Zi was used to making decisions on her own and would not let them go against Da Baoer.
Chen Ye took a look and found that the dust in there was not very much, so a simple sweep would be enough. She took a pen and paper to record the length, width and height of the shelf she wanted to make, and calculated the amount of materials needed.
After recording, I left the cellar. The door of the cellar was not closed after all, I had just sprinkled water on it, so I ventilated it to let it dry quickly.
Taking a look at this small house, I don’t know what the original owner was thinking. This house is not big at all, it looks like it is probably less than ten square meters, but it makes people feel cramped when living in it.
She looked around, wondering if it could be connected directly to the house next door. It could be used as a storage room after that. After all, there were not many people in her family and they couldn't live in too many houses.
After entering the next room and taking a look, Chen Ye suddenly found something wrong. She looked inside and outside the two rooms several times before she realized what was wrong.
Looking at the area of the two rooms, it doesn't match the total building area at all. It's at least three square meters less. She looked at the walls and felt that there was no difference from the other rooms. There was no such thing as thickening the walls to reduce the area.
Chen Ye touched her chin and looked at the wall between the two rooms. The problem should be with this wall. She glanced at a cabinet placed against this wall.
This cabinet is a typical old-fashioned cabinet, with carvings and is very heavy. It is also one of the few pieces of furniture in the house. When Chen Ye bought this house, it was almost an empty shell.
Chen Ye moved closer to the cabinet and planned to open the door to take a look, but the door fell down when he touched it lightly. Chen Ye quickly took a step back.
Oh my god, it almost hit my foot. If this heavy thing hits me, it might even damage my bones.
