Chapter 158 Chapter 158 Daily life in the new home.
February 18, 1978, sunny, suitable for traveling or moving.
There are many people in the family, and except Beibei and Xinxin, everyone is capable of working. In half a morning, most of the things were moved.
It’s also quick to clean up. You clean this room and I clean that room. The main feature is clear division of labor and efficiency.
In the kitchen, the old lady and Liu Shuangcui were busy preparing meals, and bursts of fragrance wafted out from time to time.
When it was almost twelve o'clock, the dishes were brought one by one from the west wing to the large round table in the main living room.
There are five rooms in the main house. The one in the middle is used as the living room. The first bedroom on the left is where Mu Mian and Wen Zhan live. The second room is smaller, and Mu Mian plans to use it as a study. The bookshelf has not been built yet, and he will do it when he has time.
The first room on the right is where Mu Fugui and his wife live. The room next to it is unoccupied. You can live there when you grow up.
In addition to the main house, there are three rooms in the east and west wing rooms.
The old lady, Nie Sihui and Xixi live in the east wing, and a room in the west wing is turned into a kitchen.
In addition to these, there are several other rooms in the back building next to the gate. In the corner is the toilet, and next to it are rooms for sundries and showers.
A place of 500 to 600 square meters is really quite large, with many rooms.
In the living room, the whole family sat around a large round table. On the cabinet in the middle was a black and white TV. The installer had just come this morning to install the antenna.
In fact, Comrade Mu Fugui had mentioned the issue of buying a television as early as when he was in Ningzhang.
At that time, Mu Mian had just received a letter from the film studio. Comrade Mu Fugui was very happy and said that they had to buy a TV, otherwise they would not be able to see their daughter's story when it was broadcast on TV.
Although Mu Mian said that making cartoons is a long process and it would take at least two or three years for "Xiao Ya and Friends" to be released, this did not affect Comrade Mu Fugui's desire to buy a TV.
So in the end we unanimously decided to buy it once we moved to the capital.
The TV and plane tickets were found by Wen Zhen, and the money for buying the TV was paid by three elders, which amounted to 700 to 800 yuan, which was the largest expense in this move except for the house.
Originally, Mu Zhuo said he would pay for it, but the old couple refused, so most of the furniture and miscellaneous pots, pans, and utensils were bought by Nie Sihui.
You buy a little and I buy a little, and just like that, such a big house is tidied up.
The TV was on at the moment, and a kung fu movie was playing. The fighting scenes were so intense that people of all ages were fascinated by it.
Xixi stared at him intently, "Auntie, do you think they really fought when they were filming?"
Mu Mian: "Part of it is true."
The old lady knocked on the table and said, "Eat, eat, it will get cold soon."
Mu Fugui agreed, "Yes, yes, yes, eat quickly. Didn't you buy that soda? Why didn't you bring it over?"
Liu Shuangcui: "Where did Mian Ya buy it?"
Mu Mian moved his chair, "It seems to be in our room. I'll go get it."
Wen Chen: "You sit down, I'll go."
Mu Fugui followed up and said, "Xiao Wen, bring some of that to daddy. It's such a great day, it would be a shame if we don't drink a little."
Wen Zhuan laughed, "Okay."
Mu Zhuo stood up and went to get the cup, "Dad, should I give you the whole jar?"
Mu Fugui glanced at his wife and mother and said, "Why use a big jar? Just take a few sips from a small cup."
The little kid loves to drink sweet soda the most. After Mu Zhuo brought the cups over, the brother and sister Xinxin and Beibei held their own small cups, eagerly waiting for the adults to pour them.
Xinxin looked at the soda in Wen Chen's hand and moved her small cup, "Daddy, fill it up~"
Wen Chen: "Don't drink too much and then you won't have room for food."
The little girl is very clever and has her own logic, "The cup is small, but the belly is big~"
As he said this, he patted his stomach, indicating that he could finish both the drink and the food.
Mu Mian reached out his hand and said, "Let me feel it. It doesn't seem to be very swollen."
Xinxin nodded seriously, "I'm too tired from work, and I'm hungry~"
This morning, the little girl did run around and got a lot of things for the adults. At this age, she wants to participate in everything.
Mu Mian laughed out loud, "You're so tired, then eat more."
Xinxin nodded her little head, "Yeah!"
When the little girl was drinking the soda, Beibei next to her was also waiting for an adult to pour him some soda, but halfway through, the little boy's attention was attracted by something in his grandfather's hand.
The little boy poked his head out and said, "I want to drink grandpa's."
Xixi: "That's wine, you can't drink it, not even kids can drink it."
Nie Sihui: "I really want to try everything."
Mu Zhuo: "After drinking, you become a fool. That's stupid enough."
Xiao Beibei understood and snorted twice, "No!"
Mu Zhuo poured a full glass for his boy, "Don't be stupid, drink your soda and don't think about your grandfather's two sips."
There was a constant buzz of chatter in the room. Mu Mian held up the enamel pot and said, "Come on, let's have a toast."
Xixi immediately agreed, "Cheers!"
Xinxin held the cup with both hands, her arms were too short, "I can't do it~"
Beibei: “I can’t do it either.”
The adults smiled and turned around to touch the brother and sister.
Mu Fugui took a sip of wine and a bite of meat, looked around and said with emotion: "This life is so comfortable."
Living in a big house and watching TV, I never thought of such a life before.
Liu Shuangcui: "It would be unbearable to live in such an expensive house."
Don’t mention it, I’m still a little dazed. They just moved into a big house in the capital.
In fact, a few days ago, when the three elders heard that the house would cost twelve thousand yuan, they were shocked. You know, when they were in the brigade, they could build a nice house with only two hundred yuan.
As a result, everyone was still surprised at the price the day before, but the next day, Mian Ya bought the house by catching three big yellow croakers.
This feeling is really a bit strange.
Outsiders may not know, but they know very well where their maids' gold comes from.
When the yellow croaker was hiding in my house before, I didn’t think it was a big deal, but now I have such a big house. Who wouldn’t be confused?
The old lady raised the enamel pot again and smiled, "It's the last minute, it's really a blessing."
Mu Mian clinked glasses with him, "From now on, grandma will enjoy happiness, great happiness!"
Xixi followed suit and made a big promise, "We are living in the house bought by my aunt now, and we will live in the house bought by me in the future. I will also make money to buy a big house."
The little girl's words made all the adults laugh.
Liu Shuangcui: "You still owe a few big cars, how much money do you need to earn to buy them all?"
Xixi is very confident, "I will definitely make a lot of money when I finish my studies!"
Mu Mian: "I believe this."
She had a lot of money without finishing her studies. Two of the three pictures of "Mountains and Rivers in Red" sandwiched between her books were picked up by Xixi.
In a dozen years, it could be sold for two or three hundred thousand yuan, enough to buy a big house, or maybe even a villa.
Xinxin: "I also make money~"
Beibei was not to be outdone, "Make a lot of money!"
The old lady was very happy, "Great, great, we all make money."
The first meal in the new home took particularly long. The house was warm and cozy, with the sounds from the TV and talking coming one after another.
In the afternoon, the family was naturally tidying up their new home again. Mu Zhuo and Wen Chen climbed up the persimmon tree in the yard and pruned the tree.
There are two persimmon trees planted in the large yard in the middle, one on the left and one on the right, symmetrically. They haven't been trimmed for a long time, and their branches are growing messily, which doesn't look very good.
When we are busy, time always passes quickly and it is evening in the blink of an eye.
Because there was TV to watch, everyone went to bed a little later than usual. But it couldn't be much later because the TV stations would stop broadcasting at a certain time, so there was nothing to watch even if they wanted to stay up late.
When Mu Mian finished washing and returned to the room, Wen Chen had already coaxed his daughter to sleep.
Mu Mian smiled and sat by the bed, applying cream. It was the first night she slept in her new home. It was quite novel.
The courtyards all have their own doors and are very quiet at night.
Wen Chen laughed along, "So happy?"
Mu Mian took off his shoes and walked over, hugging his fourth brother, "I'm happy, so happy!"
Finally live in a courtyard house!
So big and spacious! !
Mu Mian whispered, "If I come across a suitable price and location in the future, I want to buy a few more. They don't need to be this big. The ones that are just in one are also good."
Wen Chen naturally agreed, "I'll pay more attention."
When you are happy, of course you want to do something happier. On the first night after moving into their new home, the young couple explored the new environment enthusiastically.
The next day was Sunday.
After getting up and washing up in the morning, Wen Chen and Mu Zhuo went out to buy groceries before having breakfast, as they would be stale if they went too late.
After moving into a new house, we always have to have some fun. We agreed on it two days ago, so let’s have some fun together as a family.
In the middle of the morning, except for Wen Zhe who was on duty and could not rest, everyone else in the Wen family came, including Dong Qie's mother, the third son of the Dong family, and Yang Youqin who was also carrying large and small bags.
The spacious courtyard suddenly became lively.
Xixi pulled Wen Anjing to her room, and the two little girls agreed to sleep together tonight.
When he heard Anhang complain that he was abandoned and learned that there was an empty room for him to sleep in that night, the young man became happy again and was really easy to coax.
While the kids were playing, the adults gathered together to chat.
The process from viewing the house to purchasing it was quite quick. Apart from brother and sister Chai Shunan and Wen Anjing, no one else had come to see it.
After a brief tour, they started to gather in the kitchen one after another, none of them were idle.
The female comrades filled the room. Wen Chen moved a stool to sit outside and dig peanuts. Wen Yi followed him and whispered, "Is your family still able to make ends meet? If you have any difficulties, tell me."
Wen Yi also knew the price of this house. It was true that you get what you pay for.
Wen Yi didn't know much about the couple's financial situation, but he guessed that at least half of the fourth brother and his wife's savings were spent, and possibly more than half.
Wen Chen laughed, "I appreciate your kindness. I can still open the pot. You can leave those to your future third sister-in-law."
Wen Yi: "I didn't even see your third sister-in-law's shadow."
Wen Yi asked again, "Really not necessary?"
Wen Chen: “No need.”
Wen Yi looked at the relaxed look on his fourth child's face and said with a smile, "Then you and your sister-in-law have saved a lot in the past few years."
You know, the fourth brother and his wife are not very frugal with money, and his brother's wife seems to be quite good at making money, but he is not sure how much they can earn exactly.
Wen Chen thought about the bankbook at home that had not touched a cent, and said sincerely, "It's mainly because I married a good wife."
Wen Yi, who was inexplicably shown off, said: “………………”
Wen Yi: "I just asked you this for no reason!"
Wen Chen: “Just telling the truth.”
It is true that he married a good wife, you are absolutely right!
