The morning breeze blew, and the sycamore trees in the forest swayed in the wind, making a rustling sound. On such a beautiful morning, the gate of No. 21 Wutong Street was opened.
People kept coming in and out, moving all kinds of furniture. There was also a cute and quiet little girl standing on a high stool giving orders, her voice as sweet as a lark.
People passing by couldn't help but stand on tiptoe to take a look inside, but after taking one look, they wanted to take a second look, so many people gathered at the door to watch the fun.
Su Nan wore her black coat and small leather shoes, which made her look both fashionable and elegant.
"Hey, be careful, put that over there, don't break it." Su Nan directed Zhou Rang to put the dressing table away, puffing up his cheeks angrily.
"I didn't touch it." Zhou Rang carefully put down the dressing table and turned it carefully before he was done.
"That was a gift from Yun'er to me." Su Nan wiped the sweat off Zhou Rang's forehead with a handkerchief, speaking coquettishly.
Zhou Rang glanced at the workers who were hired to move things and saw them looking at them. He cleared his throat uncomfortably, then hid Su Nan behind him and spoke to them.
"Thank you, there's nothing else I can help you with, you can leave now."
Soon the room was empty, and Su Nan and Zhou Rang stood in the yard and watched them leave.
"Hey, did you just move in here?" asked an old lady standing at the gate of the yard with a basket on her shoulder.
The old lady was wearing a khaki cotton jacket and black cotton trousers. Her hair was neatly cut short to the ears, making her look particularly smart. However, her eyes were curved, gentle and kind.
"Not really, I just officially moved in today." Su Nan had a strong affection for this old lady. He went back to the house, got a basket of egg cakes, and distributed them to the people who gathered around.
Those who can appear here at this time should be neighbors living on Wutong Street.
As the saying goes, a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative. They are unfamiliar with the place, so the best thing for them is to build relationships with the people around them so that they can help them if they need anything in the future.
"Thank you, little girl." Everyone was so generous that they all thanked with a smile.
"You're welcome, uncles and aunts, please come visit us often when you are free." Su Nan's face was full of smiles, and he spoke in a friendly manner. He was sweet-mouthed and knew how to behave. In addition, he was handsome, so he quickly won the hearts of these old grandfathers and grandmothers.
After a while, the crowd dispersed and only the old lady was left.
"Xiao Su, I live at No. 18 Wutong Street. You can call me Aunt Zhao." Aunt Zhao was very enthusiastic. She not only introduced herself but also told Su Nan the addresses of the nearby supply and marketing cooperative and state-owned restaurant.
Finally, he changed the subject and asked, "Is this your brother?"
Su Nan looked at Aunt Zhao's fiery eyes and her heart trembled. If Aunt Zhao was not in her forties and her husband was not still alive, she would really think that Aunt Zhao had feelings for Zhou Rang.
"This is my boyfriend, his last name is Zhou." Although, Su Nan still remained calm and pulled Zhou Rang behind him.
"My boyfriend, Auntie, I was planning to introduce him to my eldest daughter, but it seems I won't have that luck anymore." Auntie Zhao did not shy away from the topic and stated her intention directly.
Su Nan forced a smile and said, "That's really unfortunate."
"Then he lives here too?" Aunt Zhao looked at Zhou Rang twice, with a hint of regret in her eyes.
"I don't live here." Zhou Rang explained.
"Oh, oh, oh. Then you guys are busy. I'll go back to cook first. Xiao Su, I'll come and chat with you next time." Aunt Zhao left in a hurry, as if she just remembered that she hadn't made breakfast.
Su Nan stopped laughing, glared at Zhou Rang, and said in a strange voice as he closed the courtyard door, "Look, it hasn't been long, and another peach blossom has already flown over. If my brother is so attractive, what should I do? I'm going to be jealous every day."
Zhou Rang shook his head with a smile, picked up Su Nan horizontally, looked down into her eyes, and said with a smile: "Where did you learn to emphasize? It's weird and unruly."
"Brother, haven't you seen Lin Daiyu? I'm being ironic in the style of Lin Daiyu." Su Nan pinched her throat and spoke tenderly while hugging Zhou Rang's neck.
"Dream of the Red Chamber? I didn't know Lin Daiyu spoke like this." Zhou Rang gently kissed Su Nan on the lips and raised his eyebrows.
"Hey, why are you so serious? Don't you know that there are so many things in love?" Su Nan returned to his normal tone, patted Zhou Rang's cheek, and snorted arrogantly.
"What do you want to eat in the morning? I'll make it for you." Zhou Rang put her down and helped her straighten the hem of her coat.
"I want some lean meat porridge and a boiled egg." Su Nan ordered the dishes without hesitation. Seeing him nod, she ran to the corner of the yard to look at the flowers.
The originally messy and simple yard has now changed a lot. A small flower bed has been built in the corner of the wall, filled with soil, and there are a few camellias planted in it. The pink, white and red colors complement each other, which is so beautiful.
But because it was just planted, the flowers and leaves are still a little weak.
Su Nan squatted in front of the flower bed, occasionally fiddling with the petals with his hands, muttering, "You better fight to survive, otherwise next time Sister Xiaoyu and Yun'er come here to see me, they'll be sad without you."
Liu Yu and Xiao Fangyun bought these flowers from a family in the village because Su Nan likes flowers and loves beauty, and she has moved into a new house and needs to decorate it, so they bought them for her.
In addition, they also jointly gave Su Nan a red khaki skirt.
At that time, Su Nan was so moved that she burst into tears.
"Zhou Rang, do you want to water the flowers? I see the leaves are all turning yellow." Su Nan saw a white camellia with large patches of yellow leaves, and he panicked and shouted immediately.
"No, it's normal for the leaves to turn yellow. They will be gone in a couple of days." Zhou Rang stood at the kitchen door wearing an apron and answered patiently.
Su Nan picked up a withered yellow leaf, held it up and ran to Zhou Rang, looking up uncertainly, "Really?"
"Really?" Zhou Rang patted her head and reminded her, "Don't you still have to pack your clothes?"
"Oh, yes. I'll go first then." Su Nan took Zhou Rang's hand and put the leaf in his palm.
After doing this, she went to wash her hands and then went back to the room to pack the big bag of clothes she had left.
Seeing that Su Nan's attention had been diverted, Zhou Rang glanced at the withered yellow leaves in his hand, smiled and shook his head, then turned and went into the kitchen and began to concentrate on making breakfast.
Su Nan began to pour all the clothes onto the bed, and then hung them one by one in the new wardrobe.
The furnishings in the main house also underwent a big change. The old wardrobe and other tables and chairs were moved into the small room. Considering that Su Nan was the only one living there, the design was simple yet not simplistic.
First, a screen was used to separate the bedroom and the small living room. The bed was moved from the window to the inner wall. A dressing table was placed by the window, and a new large wardrobe was placed next to the screen.
There is also a blue curtain with white flowers on the window. When you go to bed, you can lock the window and draw the curtain to enjoy extreme privacy.
The small living room was furnished with a long table and several chairs. There was a wooden cabinet against the wall, filled with snacks and sundries.
