The children are still the same as before; those who have finished eating come to line up to wash the dishes.
There was always enough hot water in the large stove in Lin Ying's house for bathing.
After washing the dishes and tidying up the house, they didn't go home. Instead, they lazily lay on Lin Ying's floor and posted online.
Because Lin Ying had previously built a kang (heated brick bed), she simply built a large communal bed, with the kang right at the entrance. The wall in the middle was then knocked down.
The things in the back room were all piled on the kang (a heated brick bed), making it look messy. Lin Ying simply shortened the cabinets she had made before and made two kang cabinets.
The cabinets were placed back-to-back, following the original wall layout.
Now, she and Zhao Qinghuai could put their clothes directly in the bedroom closet. The closet in the inner room contained the duvet covers Lin Ying had bought, as well as some other things they wouldn't need for the time being.
As for the small sofa and coffee table, they were placed directly on the kang (heated brick bed) inside. Lin Ying usually rested there.
In addition, since there was no bedside table and the kang (a heated brick bed) was too big, Lin Ying made a bay window along the window using wooden planks.
The space above the window was widened, and the walls on both sides of the window can be used as a table.
The walls on either side of the window were also fitted with wooden shelves, providing ample storage space.
Overall, the storage space is sufficient.
Aside from the bedroom, the children can play anywhere else, but they prefer to play on the living room floor. The futons originally made for them have become pillows, and they've even started snoring.
Luckily, it was quite warm at home when I was cooking, so I don't have to worry about them catching a cold.
After closing the doors and windows to make sure there was no draft, Lin Ying returned to her room.
Once you enter the twelfth lunar month, the New Year is not far away.
Lin Ying thought about how little oil she had left at home. She decided to go into her spatial dimension and plant some sunflowers.
Lin Ying was busy until after 1 a.m. When she came out of her room, the children were listening to the radio.
To prevent them from getting thirsty, Lin Ying would boil sweet drinks. She also made frozen pears and other things. They would bring their own cups every day, and if they wanted to drink water, the older children would help them.
After Lin Ying comes out, she checks their homework. If she finds any mistakes, she will call someone over to explain the problems to them.
After that, she would teach them a few more Chinese characters, have them write them down, and practice at home. They could do their homework tomorrow.
After seeing the children off, Lin Ying stretched.
The sunflowers were already drying in the space. She was free for the time being, so she decided to organize everything she had brought back today.
Just as he finished his work, Zhao Qinghuai came in.
Lin Ying made hot and sour noodles for Zhao Qinghuai for lunch, and she ate a pancake with beef for herself.
Looking at the hot and sour noodles, Zhao Qinghuai couldn't help but glance at Lin Ying: "You ate pickled fish yesterday, and you're eating hot and sour noodles today? I didn't know you liked sour food so much?"
Lin Ying bluntly called him out: "Don't even think about it, I'm not pregnant. My body hasn't fully recovered yet. I don't want anything to happen to the baby later."
Zhao Qinghuai touched his nose: "This powder looks good~ Hmm, this pancake is delicious too."
After finishing their meal, Zhao Qinghuai brought up the army's plan: "Don't go up the mountain for the next few days. The hunting activity has been quite loud these past few days. We don't know what wild animals might come down from the mountain."
Lin Ying didn't plan to go up the mountain and nodded: "Okay. But, with the New Year approaching, what New Year's goods should we buy? Also, should we send ten yuan home for the New Year?"
Zhao Qinghuai said, "I usually send 50 yuan for the New Year, but now that I'm married and have to support my family, I'll send 10 yuan instead."
Lin Ying rolled her eyes: "It's not like I'm short of a few dozen yuan. Didn't your mom make me a cotton-padded quilt and a cotton-padded jacket before? Ten yuan is too much. Just transfer a hundred."
Zhao Qinghuai said, "I paid them for the cotton-padded jackets before. There's really no need to pay so much. I'm not actually that close to them."
This was the first time Lin Ying had heard Zhao Qinghuai talk about his family.
Seeing Lin Ying's curiosity, Zhao Qinghuai explained, "Because my birthday is July 15th, the villagers all say my birthday is unlucky and will bring misfortune to relatives. So my parents sent me to my second uncle's family very early on. Later, when I was six years old, my second uncle joined the army, but he died on the battlefield less than two years later. The village said I was the one who brought misfortune to his death. They didn't take me in. My parents didn't want me either. They only gave me a steamed bun and a piece of pickled vegetable every day, just enough to keep me from starving."
It wasn't until I met my master that my life changed.
Seeing how simply Zhao Qinghuai spoke, Lin Ying felt a pang of sympathy for him: "Then do you hate your parents?"
Zhao Qinghuai shook his head: "I've never loved them, so naturally I don't hate them. But they did give birth to me, so I'll send them ten yuan every month. That's all."
Lin Ying sighed, "Then let's just give you fifty cents for the New Year. Although your household registration is now under your second uncle's name, they are still your biological parents. If they make a fuss, it will have a bad impact on you. We don't need to cause ourselves any trouble for such a small amount of money."
Although Lin Ying is not as wealthy as before, she still has confidence because she has the space.
Therefore, from childhood to adulthood, for her, problems that can be solved with money are not problems.
Similarly, troubles that can be resolved with money are the simplest troubles.
