As soon as everyone left, Chen Tong went up to Cheng Yue and grabbed her hand expectantly, pleading, "Mom, how are we going to divide our rooms? Please come and help us!"
Now that everyone has left, they finally have time to talk to their mother alone.
All morning, Mom was busy cooking and Dad was busy entertaining guests. As children, they couldn't interrupt, and they had been holding back some things all morning.
I excitedly led a group of friends into the room this morning, only to find that each room was so big and beautiful that we couldn't take it all in and didn't know how to allocate the rooms.
How else should the houses be allocated? Naturally, people can live in whichever room they like! Of course, that's not the right way to put it.
Kids need to be valued emotionally! And their sense of ritual needs to be maximized!
Cheng Yue rubbed their heads and said, "Come on! I'll take you to your rooms right away!"
Lai Xing and Lai Wang were not in a bad mood. After all, when they were servants, they lived in the back room. Now that they had a new house, of course they would live in the back room as well!
As the group entered the inner courtyard, Chen Tong and Chen Ning started chattering again, "Mom, can we choose any of the rooms? Can my sister and I each have our own room, or do we have to stay together?"
Cheng Yue smiled and said, "Of course, choose whichever you like! When you grow up, you'll have your own little secrets, so of course each of you will have your own room. As for whether you want to live together now, that's up to you."
Chen Ning pouted and said, "I want to share a room with my sister. I'm scared to live alone..."
It's already hard enough not being able to sleep with my parents, but if I can't sleep with my sister either, then I won't be able to sleep at all!
She was used to living with her sister, and she was very reluctant to be separated from her at the moment. If she needed to use the outhouse at night, she would not dare to go without her sister by her side.
Besides, she whispers a lot to her sister at night! She has no secrets!
Chen Tong wrapped her little arm around Chen Ning, "Okay! I'll sleep with you again!"
The two sisters have a good relationship, which makes their elderly mother very happy!
Chen Ning smiled and asked Chen Lin, "Big brother, which room do you want?"
Chen Lin had already become quite composed after working at the shop. He simply stood aside with a smile in his eyes and said, "I'm fine with whichever room you choose. You girls can choose first."
Actually, all the rooms are the same, everyone is the same, and the layout is similar, so it doesn't matter which room you choose.
But since his sisters were happy to move to a new house, he, as the eldest brother, naturally had to accommodate them, at least he had to show his respect.
Chen Tong and Chen Ning pointed to the west wing, "Then let's choose these two rooms!"
The two sisters weren't really choosing; they were just overwhelmed by the sheer number of rooms and couldn't help but chatter on.
Chen Lin smiled and said, "Alright, then I'll choose the east wing."
They had no choice but to live together before, but now that the house is bigger, he definitely can't be too close to his sisters, since it would be inconvenient for them to come and go.
The siblings had already divided up the rooms themselves, and Cheng Yue was happy to see that. "Now that the rooms are divided, let's go in and tidy up the bedding."
I've been busy all morning, and I haven't even tidied up the bedding or anything. The kitchen stuff is piled up on the ground, and the yard is a complete mess. Nothing is in order.
She needs to tidy up quickly; she can't stand seeing the house looking messy.
Chen Tong and Chen Ning nodded, and happily entered the room hand in hand.
Chen Lin asked, "Mother, which room will Laixing and Laiwang stay in? Have the bedding been prepared?"
Cheng Yue shook her head and laughed, "You're such a worrywart! How could I forget Lai Xing and Lai Wang! Their bedding is in your room. You can sleep together or separately if you want."
Lai Xing and Lai Wang are usually at the shop and can't stay at home all the time. They only come back when the shop is closed for holidays. They can stay anywhere.
She knew that Chen Lin and Lai Xing and Lai Wang got along well, after all, they were about the same age and worked together every day, so there was nothing wrong with living together.
In her eyes, as long as hearts are united, they are the same family.
The distinction between master and servant is merely a matter of status and does not indicate the depth of affection between them.
Lai Xing and Lai Wang waved their hands repeatedly, "Madam, we should live in the rear room, we can't live with the young master!"
We stayed together in the shop because there weren't enough rooms, there was no other way. Last time I came back for the Dragon Boat Festival, it was also because there was only one bed.
Now that we have a new house, how can we live together anymore? They're servants!
Before Cheng Yue could speak, Chen Lin patted the two of them on the shoulders and said, "Don't say anything, let's live together! Come on, let's come in and tidy up the house!"
Lai Xing and Lai Wang looked at each other, and Cheng Yue joked, "Go ahead! Once you're all married, you won't be able to sleep together even if you want to."
Not only did Lai Xing and Lai Wang blush, but Chen Lin also felt embarrassed. His mother was definitely laughing at him on purpose.
I barely managed to exchange a few words with Cuicui when I got home last night before Aunt Xiangxiu called me home. This morning, I haven't had a chance to speak at all...
The three of them blushed as they entered the house. Cheng Yue couldn't help but laugh a few times. Last night she was eager to talk to someone, but now she couldn't say anything. She's really not easy to tease!
Fine, she should pack her things too!
Don't worry about the boy. Cheng Yue went to check on Chen Tong and Chen Ning first. The two sisters were quick and efficient. The bedding had already been laid out, and they were carefully folding clothes.
Seeing Cheng Yue come in, she started talking non-stop, "Mom! This kang is so comfortable to sleep on! It's so big, my sister and I aren't afraid of falling off!"
"This wardrobe is huge! We've put so many clothes in it and it only takes up a tiny bit of space!"
"..."
Cheng Yue felt both heartbroken and happy. She felt heartbroken because her child was so happy now, while she was happy because the hard times were over and things would only get better from now on!
After helping the two sisters tidy up their room, the mother and her two daughters started tidying up the kitchen and yard. Then they went to the old house to transplant the vegetables from the garden.
"Mom! Look at this watermelon! It's grown so big!"
Chen Ning spotted the round, plump watermelons in the vegetable garden at a glance. They hadn't been to the garden much lately and hadn't even realized the watermelons had grown so big!
I really want to taste what watermelon tastes like. My mom says it's juicy and sweet, and just thinking about it makes my mouth water...
"It really is!" Cheng Yue stepped forward and patted the door, her voice muffled. "Just a few more days and we can start enjoying the gossip!"
She had planted the vegetable garden to the brim, with the watermelon in the far corner, which she had indeed neglected recently.
Eating watermelon is the true happiness of summer!
Wait, the watermelons are ripe, so the potatoes should be ready to be dug up too, right? How could I forget about this important thing!
