Chapter 18 Living in a New House
Xie Shuangbai was reluctant to leave, and looked back at the Wang family members at the door every three steps.
The three sisters were also sad and said goodbye to Uncle Wang and Aunt Cui with red eyes.
Although we are in the same village and not far away from each other, I still feel sad, as if two people who have been together for a long time are about to separate.
They didn't feel this bad when they left the Xie family.
Xie Shuangbai was very grateful for the help from Village Chief Wang and his family, and he would always remember this kindness.
The Wang brothers looked at the sad people and did not urge him. They knew that they were all loyal people.
They had just put the bedding in place and sent them to the old house.
No one spoke on the road, and the Wang brothers pulled the cart silently.
It was not yet dinner time, and many villagers were busy working in the fields.
There were also many people chatting under the big locust tree.
They were all surprised to see that the Xie family’s house had been repaired and Xie Xiaoxiucai was also well.
I remembered that some time ago, Huang was still saying that he was about to die.
Seeing her look, I thought it was really fast...
Xie Xiaoxiucai seemed much better now. The chaos in Huang's family that he had heard about was just retribution for her abuse of her stepson.
An old lady looked at them and asked:
"Thank you, boy. Is the house repaired?"
Everyone knows about the house repairs a few days ago. He said frankly:
"Yes, Auntie, it was just yesterday. We moved back today. It's not good to disturb the village chief all the time."
The old lady also nodded: "Yes, the village chief is a good person, we can't be rude."
Xie Shuangbai smiled and greeted:
"Auntie is right. It's getting late. Let's go first."
"Go ahead, come back quickly."
"This young scholar Xie is more handsome than his father," said another younger aunt.
"Of course not. The old tree bark in your house can't compare to it." Several aunties nearby teased.
"Your family's is comparable."
"Bah, you little vixen, so disgusting!"
"How can you talk like that? You're ugly and you're still cursing at people!"
The aunt got angry when she heard it.
The person who cursed walked away without saying a word and without looking back.
"Is she mentally ill?" said an aunt.
"Hmph, is there anyone normal in their family?" another aunt said with disdain.
Xie Shuangbai didn't know about the little incident that happened here.
He will be very happy now, he is home, their home.
Xie Chunmiao was very excited.
Xie Qiushi and Xie Xiachan looked calm on the surface, but their hands holding each other also revealed their excitement.
Looking at the repaired courtyard wall and the clean wooden door.
Xie Shuangbai had a smile on his lips.
Xie Chunmiao was impatient and ran to open the door. Xie Shuangbai shouted, "The key is here!"
She slapped her head, took the key and unlocked the door skillfully.
The lock fell and he pushed the door open and walked in.
A gust of wind blew, and a few petals gently fell in front of his eyes. Xie Shuangbai gently picked them up.
The purple petals look very beautiful on the slender white fingertips.
"Where are these flowers?" Xie Xiachan looked up.
She looked up and saw that the crape myrtle trees on the east side of the courtyard wall were in full bloom, which was very pleasing to the eye.
Xie Shuangbai couldn't help but think, and unconsciously recited: "Purple air comes from the east, rippling the blue lake, and the immortal guest from the Jade Pool descends on his phoenix chariot."
"What do you mean?" Xie Chunmiao asked.
"You see, as soon as we entered the door, we were greeted by several purple flowers floating from the east. The purple air coming from the east means that we are going to get rich." Xie Shuangbai explained simply.
Xie Chunmiao didn’t understand what purple energy meant, she only understood that she was going to get rich.
"Really? Brother, I told you that we'd be fine if we left that vicious woman. Mother really did bless us!"
She ran into the yard excitedly, chirping around.
The Xie family's old house is larger than the yards of other families in the village. It is probably because they plan to expand it slowly in the future.
But who would have known that not long after Grandpa Xie Shuangbai passed away, Xie Zhi built a large blue brick and tile house directly at the entrance of the village.
The old house was slowly forgotten.
Now, after Xie Shuangbai's renovation, the three originally dilapidated thatched houses have become complete and clean tiled houses.
The main hall is in the center of the yard, with a bedroom on each side, a utility room on the east side, and a kitchen on the west side.
The bedroom on the north side is a suite, and according to Xie Shuangbai's idea, it is for his three younger sisters to live in.
He went to live in the room without a suite.
But the three sisters disagreed.
He said he would give them a difficult problem, making it difficult for them to decide who would live in the inner room and who would live in the outer room.
It would be better if the three of us could sleep on the kang together so we don’t have to divide it.
Xie Shuangbai knew that his sisters wanted him to have a study.
I didn't refuse and just went along with their wishes.
What he was most satisfied with about the yard was the renovated toilet and bathroom.
At first he was worried about the money, but Zhao Dunzi persuaded him that these were all manual labor and the porcelain pieces were free of charge.
He thought about it and couldn't stand the dirty environment, so he changed it.
The toilets are all paved with light-colored tiles, which are clean and tidy. The slope for flushing the toilet is made of dark-colored tiles. The slope is very long and can slide directly from the rice field to the septic tank. There is a special water pool next to it. You can just flush it after filling it with water, and it will be clean afterwards.
Although the bathroom was not built to the original standards, it had a bathtub.
The bathroom is next to the kitchen and is connected to the stove underneath, so you don’t have to worry about the cold when taking a bath in the winter. However, it would be too comfortable to take a hot bath by adding a board to the bathtub.
The bathroom floor was also paved with tiles. Xie Shuangbai couldn't stand it, so he washed it clean and stepped on mud in the end.
The same goes for the kitchen. The stove and walls are covered with light-colored tiles, which looks very clean.
Both bedrooms had kang beds, which were large enough for them to roll around on.
The end of the bed was connected to the kang, and a partition wall was built to prevent danger. He had seen too many news reports about stoves falling down, and he was traumatized.
Having a partition wall allows you to sleep peacefully no matter how you turn.
The small rooms in the house are also covered with broken tiles, and half of the walls are also covered with them, so that a lazy sofa can be leaned against the wall without getting dirty.
"Brother, I just went to see the toilet and the kitchen. I don't dare to use them. The kang bed in the room is also big. It's enough for the three of us to lie side by side!" Xie Qiushi said happily.
"Brother, you are so awesome!" Xie Xiachan looked at him admiringly.
"Brother, you are so nice!" Xie Chunmiao pulled his sleeve and said with a smile.
The smile on Xie Shuangbai's lips has never faded since he entered the old house. "As long as you like it, we will be even better in the future."
Xie Shuangbai felt warm in his heart as he looked at his happy sisters.
That's right, little girls should be happy
He will make his sisters happier in the future.
Now let’s move the luggage from the yard into the house.”
When the family split up, there was nothing left except a few torn quilts and old clothes.
It looked so pitiful in the empty room.
"Your room is too empty. There's not even a table, chair or bench," said Wang Shunfa.
Xie Shuangbai slapped his forehead, realizing that he had been negligent. He had been so focused on decorating the house that he had forgotten about the furniture. He quickly asked:
“Is there a carpenter in our village?”
"Yes, Carpenter Zhang's house is not far from you, but I'm afraid you won't like the appearance."
Xie Shuangbai: "It's getting late today, please ask Brother Wang to take me to see it tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll come see you tomorrow. You guys clean up first."
"Okay, Brother Wang, you guys go back later and be careful."
"Don't worry!"
