The next morning, Mr. and Mrs. Lu had breakfast and went to work.
Lu Xiaotang will also be going to the army soon. Xu Ning is afraid that the old people will be bored at home, so he plans to take them to visit the courtyard.
See if there is anything missing and go buy it as soon as possible. The three elderly people feel a little constrained living in the military compound, so she plans to pack up and move in.
Lu Xiaotang sent them to the courtyard and then went to the army.
Xu An, Xiao Mo, Jianmin and others were already cleaning.
Xu Ning asked Xiao Mo to play with the toffee. When Grandpa Qi, Grandpa Wang and Grandma Wang came here, they took the brooms and went to sweep the floor in the house.
Xu Ning planned to go to the backyard to see what was missing and buy some when Lu Xiaotang came back.
Xiao Mo followed her sister with a sticky face and said excitedly: Sister, the house of my brother-in-law is almost as big as ours.
I just counted and there are more than twenty rooms. Please reserve one for me and I will come to live here later. ”
Xu Ning smiled and said, "Okay, go and see which one you like, and tell me later so I can decorate it for you."
Xiao Mo said happily: "Sister, I have already chosen it. It is in the east wing of the backyard. There are five rooms in that row. Niu Niu Pi Pi and I will each live in one room.
Xiao An saw Xiao Mo jumping up and down happily there, and said with a smile: "Sister, Xiao Mo has been here since this morning and has done nothing but running around the front and back yards. I have already assigned you guys which room to live in."
Xiao Mo glared at him and said, "Second brother, I asked you to do some work, you look so uncomfortable, didn't I also assign a room for you?"
Xu An was so angry that he laughed, "This is our brother-in-law's house, not your house, and you gave me a room."
Xiao Mo glanced at him and said, "Second brother, you are so narrow-minded. What's mine and yours? We are all family, why do we have to be so clear about it?
What's wrong with me giving you a room? Didn’t our sister and brother-in-law tell you not to live here? ”
After that, she sighed again and waved at him, "Go clean up the front quickly. I'll take you to the backyard."
Xu Ning glanced at the deflated Xu An, held back his laughter, and followed Xiao Mo to the backyard.
Niu Niu and Pi Pi both went to chase their uncle.
Tangtang waved her hands to her second uncle and said, "Second uncle, Tangtang will play with you later."
When they walked to the backyard, Xu Ning was amazed by the house.
Three main rooms, two side rooms, five rooms in total, five rooms in the east and west wing rooms, and four rooms in the south room (the back room)
There is a large courtyard in the middle, with a crabapple tree next to it, a grape trellis in the middle, and a stone table under the trellis where you can sit and rest and enjoy the cool air in the summer.
This house is well maintained. No wonder Lu Xiaotang's aunt and sister-in-law are so envious of it.
Xu Ning pushed open the door and saw that the furniture inside was very complete and had an antique feel.
She particularly likes everything here and has no intention of making any changes, not even replacing the furniture. Decades later, these furniture will be great things that money cannot buy.
Since she entered the backyard, she has been smiling with joy. Holding a broom in her hand, she walked around the rooms. She was satisfied and liked everything she saw.
Seeing that she was so happy that she didn't know where to go, Xiao Mo took the broom from her hand and said, "Sister, you play with the sticky candy, I'll go sweep the floor."
Xu Ning was afraid that he didn't know the seriousness of the matter and would knock over things in the house again.
I snatched the broom from his hand and said, "Xiao Mo, I'm going to sweep the floor. You and Niupitang are playing in the yard. Be careful not to damage the furniture."
After saying that, he ran into the house excitedly with a broom in his hand.
Xiao Mo looked at his sister who had already entered the room and scratched his head in confusion. He must have heard it wrong.
What his sister should have said was to watch out for the taffy and not touch it. How could she have said that she was afraid of breaking something?
Xu Ning looked at the carved wooden bed in the main room and wanted to lie down on it and roll around.
She touched it with her hand and found a thick layer of dust. She decided to just leave it alone and wait until it was clean and moved over, and then she could roll around wherever she wanted.
Xu An and his friends cleaned the front yard and went to the backyard.
Xu Ning saw that each of the young men was holding a big broom.
Grandpa Wang, Grandma Wang, and Grandpa Qi each held a rotten towel.
He looked at the furniture in the room again and said to Xu An and the others, "You can't use a broom to sweep."
Xu An looked at her strangely and said, "Sister, what else can we use if we don't need a broom? Go play with the sticky candy, and we can just clean it up."
Then he said to Grandpa Qi and the others, "Grandpa Qi, Grandpa Wang and Grandma Wang, you and my sister can go sit in the front yard for a while. We will clean up here in a moment."
Xu Ning warned worriedly: "Xiao An, you guys must be careful not to bump into the furniture."
Xu An looked at her speechlessly, wondering why his sister was acting so strangely today.
You weren't like this when you were in the countryside. Could it be that you have become pretentious after coming to Beijing?
It’s all my brother-in-law’s fault. He always lets her do whatever she wants, and that’s why she’s become like this.
Xiao Mo raised his head in surprise and asked, "Sister, I heard you right. You really just said, don't let the sticky candy break the furniture, not don't touch the sticky candy."
After hearing what Xiao Mo said, the people in the yard looked at her in disbelief.
Xu Ning...
Although she meant it, it wasn't this.
