446: Moving to a New Home
..
On the day of the official move, Yu Xiaoye rushed back from the headquarters.
The company sent a total of one tractor and three horse-drawn carriages. Jia Song, Lao Pu, Sai Jinhua, Widow Wang, and Hong Cheng all went to help.
Help carry things and load the truck.
The chickens at home alone filled three huge wicker baskets.
There were also wooden boxes, radishes, cabbages, potatoes from home, two jars of pickled vegetables, pots, pans, and so on, which filled up a tractor and three horse-drawn carriages.
After packing up their belongings, Yu Jiahui, Xu Ying and Yu Xiaoye looked at so many things and suddenly remembered that when their family first arrived here, they were penniless and had nothing.
Not to mention luggage and bedding, there wasn't even any change of clothes!
But now looking at it, they actually have so much property.
Not only is there more property, but there are also two more people!
I couldn’t imagine that this day would come.
After loading the luggage, everyone climbed into the car, and the team set off towards the field office in the howling cold wind.
The weather was very cold. Yu Xiaoye had already put on two cotton-padded jackets, a cotton hat, a cloth mask, and a long red scarf, covering his head and face tightly, leaving only his two frozen, tearful eyes exposed.
After arriving at the new house, everyone worked together to carry things downstairs.
Sai Jinhua placed a pile of bedding on the kang in the inner room, then looked around the Yu family's new home, unable to help but sigh:
"A new house is great. Everything looks good and it smells like a new home!"
Widow Wang also entered the house and, seeing that the Yu family was not there, she whispered to Sai Jinhua:
"The house they lived in at the company was said to be haunted, so no one dared to live there, and it had been abandoned for many years.
Look, the old Yu family doesn’t mind this. People who move in here are very prosperous, and the whole family is also prosperous.
It can be seen that whether a house is good or not depends on the people in it.
If a person is not good, no matter how good the house is, it will be useless. If a person is good, even a shabby thatched house can make him rich!
After being reminded by Widow Wang, Sai Jinhua suddenly thought of something and went to Widow Wang and whispered:
"Hey, how about you ask Lao Yu to talk to Captain Yang and ask them to vacate their house so you and your mother can move in? You can also share in their good fortune and maybe even prosper."
Widow Wang said with an unnatural expression:
"What else can I be proud of?"
Sai Jinhua poked Widow Wang with an ambiguous look on her face and said mysteriously:
"Maybe you'll have a second chance. Your man died all those years ago, and you've been a widow for so many years. You've done your best for him. You should also make plans for yourself. You can't just keep enduring this all the time."
Widow Wang knew what Sai Jinhua was referring to, and blushed a little:
"Stop it, you're not ashamed!"
Widow Wang was about to leave, but Sai Jinhua grabbed hold of her sleeve and stopped her:
"You're not telling me the truth. Didn't I hear that Master Hong wanted to divorce his wife in the city some time ago?"
"Whether he gets a divorce or not is none of my business. Besides, the divorce didn't go through, and they don't want to get a divorce anymore!"
"Ah, why don't you leave again?"
"I don't know. It seems like the children at home don't agree with the divorce, but they're not getting a divorce anyway."
Sai Jinhua rolled her eyes and said:
"Well, if you ask me, you're adding fuel to the fire and instigating Master Hong to get a divorce.
He has been separated from his wife for many years. Master Hong has been reforming here and has not returned to the city for many years. He probably won't be able to go back in the future.
What's the point of both sides wasting time like this? Maybe his wife in the city has already found someone else.
Just divorce, each of you give the other a way out, and Master Hong can live peacefully with you."
Widow Wang was so upset by Sai Jinhua's words that she felt a little embarrassed and said impatiently:
"Oh, my dear sister, please stop talking nonsense. It's better to demolish a temple than to break up a marriage. Why are you instigating a divorce? What kind of talk will that make people laugh?

..
Besides, Master Hong and I are not the same kind of people. Our status should be the same as his.
The Peking Opera masters from the city have ancestors who were prominent people, but I am just an illiterate rural woman. There is no one educated person in my three generations.
Even if they were to stay here for their entire lives, they wouldn't be able to get along with people like us!
Seeing that Widow Wang was so hypocritical, Sai Jinhua felt a little discouraged:
"I was giving you advice out of kindness, but you didn't listen. You deserve to be a widow forever!"
Widow Wang, who was always good-tempered, became impatient with Sai Jinhua's words and could not help but say:
"I think you should move to Old Yu's house. Maybe you can share in the good fortune and give birth to a big fat boy next year!"
Sai Jinhua: "..."
The two were teasing each other in the room when Hong Cheng came in holding a pickle jar that was more than half a meter high.
Putting the tank against the wall, Hong Cheng asked, panting heavily:
"What are you two talking about? Why are you so excited?"
Widow Wang took the lead and said:
"Nothing, someone's gone crazy."
After saying that, he went out.
Sai Jinhua looked at Widow Wang's departing figure and murmured with great regret:
"This woman is really tough!"
After saying that, he left.
Hong Cheng looked at the backs of the two people and vaguely realized that what they said might be related to him.

Outside, Yu Xiaoye was also moving things into the house and walking into the yard carrying a large bag of bedding.
Jia Song followed beside him, carrying the table on the kang, and asked in a low voice:
"Hey, is Zhou harassing you again?"
Jia Song was wearing a dog-skin hat with its ears drooping, his nose was red from the cold, and white steam was coming out of his mouth when he spoke.
Yu Xiaoye answered as he walked into the house:
"No."
"No? Why wouldn't I believe it?"
"Really? No! He's busy, and I'm busy too. There are so many people around, how could he have the time to bother me?"
Jia Song sneered:
"It's strange that he can be so patient."
Yu Xiaoye was also quite puzzled. Zhou Ziheng had become much more obedient recently.
I guess I'm really too busy with work.
Also, maybe because the two of them were close to each other and knew where each other was, they were not so anxious.
Moreover, the two of them were not completely unable to see each other. They could occasionally see each other from a distance, in the office, in the cafeteria, on the road. Anyway, they would meet each other, but they just had no chance to talk.
When he spoke, he only said a few polite words.
Zhou Ziheng had no room to perform.
This is also good, Yu Xiaoye is happy and relaxed.
The two entered the house, and Yu Xiaoye put the bedding on the kang in the inner room.
Jia Song put the kang table on the kang in the outer room.
After putting the things away, the two went to move other things.
On the other side, Xu Ying and Cuihua carried three wicker baskets and poured the chickens in the baskets into the newly built chicken coop.
The chicken coop was built very luxuriously, like a small villa. Yu Jiahui took time out to build it with his own hands. It was indeed bigger and stronger than the company's chicken coop. Xu Ying was very satisfied.
After dumping all three baskets of chickens into the chicken coop, Lao Pu came over and looked at the dozens of grown chickens with a bit of worry:
"It's different here than at the company. Back there, it's so remote, no one cares. No one cares how many side jobs you have or how much land you occupy. It's best not to be too ostentatious at the headquarters. If you keep too many, people might gossip."
Sai Jinhua happened to pass by and heard what Lao Pu said. She gave him an idea:
"It's okay. Kill one every two days and give it to my second son's wife to nourish her. She'll be fat so she can give birth to a big fat boy next year."
Cuihua lowered her head as she listened.
Xu Ying looked reluctant:
"I raise my own chickens, and I feel bad about killing them."
Sai Jinhua: "Or you give it to me, I will take it back to Lian ()

..
Captain, I'll help you kill.
Xu Ying: "Forget it, I'll just kill it myself—I'll kill it at noon today and we'll stew the chicken!"
