When Chenchen woke up the next day, he found himself still sleeping in the same room.
An An was lying next to him and sleeping soundly. An An saw Aunt Su and didn't see Uncle Han.
Chenchen rubbed his eyes in confusion, started to put on his clothes, and then climbed down from the kang quietly.
He first went to Han Zhenyu's bedroom and saw that there was no one inside, but the door to the main room was open.
Chenchen walked into the yard and saw smoke coming out of the kitchen, so he rubbed his eyes and walked over.
Han Zhenyu was cooking in the kitchen. Seeing the sleepy Chenchen, he smiled and asked, "Chenchen, why did you get up so early? Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
"Uncle Han, I'm awake." He sat in front of the stove and asked, "Uncle Han, where did you sleep last night?"
Han Zhenyu smiled as he rolled the noodles: "Have you forgotten that I slept with you? When I hugged you yesterday, you called me."
"I don't remember." Chenchen shook his head and asked him puzzledly: "Uncle Han, didn't Aunt Su tell you to sleep in that room yesterday? Why did you sleep in our room again?"
Han Zhenyu glanced at him and scolded him with a smile: "You little bastard, how did that become your room? It's obviously the bedroom of your aunt Su and me. You are a man now, so you should sleep in your own room after the New Year."
Chenchen felt that Uncle Han was right. He was too old to always sleep with Aunt Su, otherwise he would be laughed at in the future.
He thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Han, how about we sleep in another room tonight? Let my sister and Aunt Su sleep over there."
Han Zhenyu gritted his teeth in anger, thinking that this brat was too ignorant. He glared at him and said, "Your Aunt Su is my wife. We are a couple. How can we sleep separately?"
"That's right." Chenchen scratched his head in embarrassment, feeling that this matter was not easy to handle.
He stroked his chin and thought for a while, then said worriedly, "Uncle Han, what should I do? How about I sleep alone?"
Han Zhenyu looked at his sad face and felt like laughing.
"No need. Your great-grandmother will come to our house to stay for a while in a couple of days. You and An An will sleep with her, and your aunt Su and I will live in that room."
Chenchen frowned when he heard this, "Uncle Han, then I still have to sleep with adults. Didn't you say that I am a man now? Wouldn't it be embarrassing to sleep with adults?"
Han Zhenyu said: "Your great-grandmother is old, it's okay for you to sleep with her. Others will think you are taking care of her and will only praise you for being filial, not laugh at you."
"Oh, I understand, Uncle Han." Although Chenchen always felt that something was wrong, he still nodded obediently.
Han Zhenyu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that he had fooled him. Although this kid is young, he is very smart.
He rolled out the noodles, but Su Xieqiu and An An hadn't gotten up yet.
Han Zhenyu went back to the room and took a look. The two were still sleeping soundly, so he went to the backyard with Chenchen.
It was almost seven o'clock when Su Xieqiu woke up.
She had a conversation with Han Zhenyu before going to bed last night, and they read for a while, so she got up a little late today.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she touched the small quilt that An An was using as a cushion. It was dry.
Ever since An An wet the bed last time, Su Xieqiu made a small quilt for her to put under her body so that it would be easier to clean even if she wet the bed.
"Auntie, An An needs to pee."
Su Xieqiu was getting dressed when she heard An An's shout, "An An, bear with it, I'll take you to the bathroom right away."
She quickly put on her clothes, wrapped An An in a small quilt, and ran out.
Han Zhenyu was coming from the backyard with a bundle of firewood. When he saw her running out of the house holding An An, he thought something had happened and asked hurriedly, "What happened?"
"It's okay, An An needs to go to the bathroom."
Han Zhenyu smiled and shook his head, then went into the house to cook noodles.
By the time Su Xieqiu and An An finished washing up, the noodles were just out of the pot.
After the family finished their meal, Su Xieqiu went to the kitchen to get a basket and said, "Let's go to the woods outside to see if there are any more mushrooms."
Han Zhenyu pointed to the backyard and asked, "Did you pick those mushrooms in the woods?"
Su Xieqiu nodded, "Yes, there were a lot in the past two days, and Sister Fengqin also picked a lot."
She stewed half a chicken with mushrooms that day, and it tasted so delicious that she now goes to the woods every day and picks mushrooms whenever she sees one.
As soon as they walked out the door, they heard faint sounds of quarreling.
Han Zhenyu walked to the main road to take a look, then came back and said to Su Xieqiu, "It should be the Youth House. It sounds like there's a lot of noise."
Su Xieqiu had already guessed that there were about twenty or thirty people living in such a small yard.
Everyone has a different lifestyle. If you eat and live together every day, there will definitely be conflicts over time.
She put a small mushroom in the basket and said with a smile, "Luckily you didn't choose that place as your foundation, otherwise we wouldn't have the peaceful life we have now."
Su Xieqiu really likes this place. It is some distance away from the village and the only neighbor is also easy to get along with.
Unless the villagers go up the mountain, it is not easy to get here.
You don’t have to be secretive when making something delicious. It’s so comfortable when the whole family can just lock the door and live their simple life together.

Youth House
Today it was Miao Lili and Li Bihua's turn to cook, and the two had an argument about fetching water.
Although the Youth League Home was not far from the well, neither of them wanted to go there.
Miao Lili, relying on the fact that she had been here longer, wanted to throw the heavy work to Li Bihua.
But Li Bihua is not a pushover and doesn't want to suffer any loss.
So the two of them started arguing with each other, neither of them giving in.
I don't know who started the fight first, but you grabbed my hair and I grabbed your face, and even smashed the dishes in the kitchen.
If a few male educated youth hadn’t stopped them, I’m afraid the only iron pot would have been destroyed.
It's almost time to go to work, but the people in the Youth League Home haven't eaten yet.
Everyone was very unhappy, and everyone was arguing with each other, until they split into two factions and started arguing.
Xiang Guoqiang and Roger looked at each other and knew that they would not be able to have breakfast today.
The two didn't want to get involved, so they went into the house to get a few biscuits and quickly walked out of the Youth League Home.
Roger said, "Guoqiang, I'm afraid we can't go back to the city for a while. Why don't we rent a house and move out? It's too noisy for so many people to live together. You'll see, there will be more quarrels in the future."
Xiang Guoqiang was also very annoyed. Several male educated youth were crowded in one room, and it was difficult for them to turn over at night.
Every night there are people grinding their teeth, farting, and talking in their sleep, making it impossible to sleep.
He is a light sleeper and has not had a good night's sleep since he came here.
Xiang Guoqiang sighed, "I asked the team leader a few days ago, and he said there were no vacant houses.
If we want to rent a house, we can only ask the people in the village who have more houses to see if they can rent one to us."
Roger shook his head. "We can't rent a house from a fellow villager. Most of the people here live together as a family. It's too inconvenient. If we live with a fellow villager, it's better to live in the Youth Home."
"Yes, that's why I didn't agree." Xiang Guoqiang said helplessly.
