Chapter 225 New House
The new house has been built, and the newly purchased carriage was driven into the new house and parked in the special stable.
The whole family happily familiarized themselves with the layout of the new house.
"When were the quilts and other things bought? We don't even know." Tang Luwu was surprised.
Li Taohua said with a smile: "I went out for a stroll with Chuntao and Juying a few days ago, and that's when I picked it out. You can use it for now. If you don't like the color, you can buy new ones after the New Year."
"Mom has such good taste, I like it very much." Tang Luwu said sweetly, "It's a pity that the third sister doesn't want to come back with us for the New Year, otherwise I would let her live with me. I'm not used to living alone in such a big room."
Each room has a dressing table, desk, tea table, wardrobe and even a separate toilet.
Before, the whole family shared a toilet. If we woke up in the middle of the night and had to go out to relieve ourselves, we could do it in our own room. Not only that, but we could also flush water next to the toilet, and it didn’t smell at all.
Tang Sanmei's throat has recovered. Although it is a little hoarse than before, at least she can speak.
After her throat healed, she went to an embroidery workshop as an apprentice, and occasionally went to Chuan Chuan Xiang to visit Li Taohua and others.
Qin Huiyin visited her from time to time and found that she was gradually coming out of the haze, a smile appeared on her face again, and she became full of energy, so she felt relieved.
Before she returned to the village, she asked her if she wanted to come back to celebrate the New Year together, but Tang Sanmei refused. She gave each of the Tang family a handkerchief with a persimmon embroidered on it, wishing them all the best. However, she said she didn't want to return to this village.
"Why does the room feel not cold at all?" Li Taohua asked, "Is there any clever idea?"
"When I designed the house, I asked them to leave pipes. When the kitchen is lit, the heat goes into the pipes and the whole house is warm. If you don't leave the room, you won't feel the cold at all." Qin Huiyin said, "The warmest place is the bed. You will know when you lie in bed at night."
The Tang family returned to the village and visited several families they were on good terms with.
"When the new house was built, we wanted to come and take a look, but Tang Cheng wouldn't let us in, saying that no one could come in without the owner's permission. We thought he was too cautious. It was just a new house, and there was nothing else except tiles and stone walls. Was he afraid that we would tear it down? After seeing him today, we finally understand why he was so nervous. I say, Huiyin girl, what treasures are in your head? Why don't we go in and take a look?"
"Aunt, you're being too scary. Don't scare Huiyin." The woman next to him said, "The new house is built and the New Year is coming soon. Shouldn't we hold the house-warming party?"
"Tomorrow is a good day, please invite everyone to dinner." Qin Huiyin said, "But we don't plan to have a big party, just invite relatives and friends to have a simple meal."
Everyone understood.
Moving into a new house is a big happy event, but they don't plan to invite unnecessary people. At this time, it is obvious who the Tang family is on good terms with. Those who are invited must be very proud, and those who are not invited will be unhappy. However, the Tang family does not care about other people's attitudes now.
"These things were made by Carpenter Zhang and his team, right? Their craftsmanship is getting better and better. I think they are not worse than those master carpenters."
"Mrs. Lin, the dam is on New Year's Day holiday. Has Brother Chunsheng arrived yet?"
"Not yet. He walks slowly. It will take him several hours to get back from the city. He should be there before dark..."
"Mrs. Lin, you are still here. Your husband is back." A villager stood at the door of the new house and said to the young woman who was speaking.
"Why so fast?"
"He was riding in the carriage of the kid from the Song family. The kid from the Song family brought back a whole carriage of people."
When Qin Huiyin heard that Song Ruize had returned, she said to Li Taohua, "Mom, I'll go see you."
Li Taohua said unhappily, "You've worked so hard for so long, just go play. Can I still restrain you?"
Qin Huiyin rushed to Song Ruize's door.
Song Ruize had just tied up the carriage when he saw her come in and said, "I went to look for you, but you left first."
There was a hint of resentment in those words.
"I thought you had a lot of things to do at the dam and wouldn't be here so soon, so I didn't wait for you." Qin Huiyin said, "If I had known you would come back today, I would have waited for you."
"I haven't been back for a long time. The room is full of dust. I'll clean it up first."
"I'll help you."
"No need." Song Ruize said, "You have a lot of things to do at home, go and do your thing."
"We are moving to a new house tomorrow. Come and help us tomorrow!" Qin Huiyin touched the horse's head and grabbed a handful of hay to feed it.
"good."
"Then it's settled, you come early. By the way, don't cook tonight, I'll bring it to you." Qin Huiyin said, waved her hand, and left.
Qin Huiyin walked through the village and passed by Grandma Zhang's house. She saw the old lady talking to the room. She spoke in a low voice, as if she was afraid that others would hear her.
Qin Huiyin was puzzled. When she returned home, she saw Xiang Chuntao and Wang Juying still helping to clean the yard. She went over and asked, "Sister-in-law Chuntao, has Zhang Lei been home?"
"Zhang Lei? If you didn't mention him, we wouldn't have remembered him." Xiang Chuntao said, "I haven't seen him since the last debt collection. Why are you suddenly mentioning him?"
"I just passed by Grandma Zhang's house and heard her talking to someone."
"Don't pay attention to her. The old lady has some problems with her brain now. She is always crazy. Sister Huiyin, stay away from her next time you see her. A few days ago, she snatched candy from Xiao Shitou in the village! When Xiao Shitou tried to take it back, she bit his hand and broke it. Everyone says she is a crazy woman now."
"Is it so scary?" Li Taohua asked, "Is he pretending to be crazy and stupid to win the sympathy of Carpenter Zhang and others?"
"Carpenter Zhang has indeed softened his heart and wants to take her in to take care of her. You know Aunt Zhou's personality. She is also indecisive. Fortunately, Dazhu is the head of the family now. If Dazhu doesn't want to, Carpenter Zhang can't do anything about it. Now the family's money is in Dazhu's hands. Otherwise, Carpenter Zhang would have to support that old lady."
"By the way, the Zhang family is also going to build a new house after the Chinese New Year. They said they want it to be bigger. One side will be their living quarters, and the other side will be where they do their carpentry work."
"They are doing very well in business now, and everyone is envious. Many people want to learn the craft, and Carpenter Zhang can't refuse. Fortunately, Dazhu's cousin is a smart man. He made those lazy guys in the village work for free for a few days, so that they gave up and never rushed to share a piece of the pie again."
Xiang Chuntao was a good talker, and she told them what had happened in the village in recent days. It was quite interesting to see these things from the perspective of an outsider.
