The morning breeze blew, and the towering sycamore trees swayed in the wind, making rustling sounds. 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 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 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 her 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 given to me by Yun'er." 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 is 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 here?" asked an old lady carrying a basket of vegetables as she stood at the gate of the yard.
The old lady was wearing a brown cotton jacket and black cotton trousers. Her hair was neatly cut short to the ears. She looked particularly smart, but her eyes were curved and gentle and kind.
"Not really, I just officially moved in today." Su Nan had a strong affection for this 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 all be neighbors living on Wutong Street.
As the saying goes, a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative. Since they are not familiar with the place, it is best for them to build relationships with the people around them so that they can help them if there is any problem in the future.
"Thank you, little girl." Everyone was so generous that they all thanked with a smile.
"You're welcome. Dear uncles and aunts, please come visit us often when you are free." Su Nan's face was full of smiles. He spoke in a friendly manner, was sweet-mouthed and knew how to behave. Moreover, he was handsome and quickly won the hearts of these old grandfathers and ladies.
After a while, the crowd dispersed and only the old lady was left.
"Xiao Su, I live at No. 18 Wutong Street. You can just 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 burning 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 he was embarrassed, Su Nan still remained calm and pulled Zhou Rang behind him.
"Boyfriend, I was planning to introduce him to my eldest daughter, but it seems I won't have that blessing." Aunt Zhao did not shy away from the topic and stated her purpose directly.
Su Nan managed to pull the corners of his mouth and laughed dryly: "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, 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 weird voice while closing the courtyard door: "Look, it's only been a short time, and another peach blossom has flown over. If my brother is so attractive, what should I do? Will I be jealous every day?"
Zhou Rang shook his head with a smile, picked up Su Nan horizontally, looked down at 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? There are so many things you don't know." 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 to drink lean meat porridge and boil an egg." Su Nan ordered the dishes without hesitation. When he nodded, she ran to the corner of the yard to look at the flowers.
The originally dirty 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 several camellias are planted in it, pink, white and red. The three colors complement each other, it is so beautiful.
But because they have just been planted, the flowers and leaves are still a little weak.
Su Nan squatted in front of the flowerbed, 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 will be sad without you."
Liu Yu and Xiao Fangyun bought these flowers from a family in the village. They bought them for Su Nan because she likes flowers and beauty, and she had just moved into a new house and needed to decorate it.
In addition, they also jointly gave Su Nan a red braided skirt.
At that time, Su Nan was so moved that she burst into tears.
"Zhou Rang, do you want to water the flowers? The leaves are turning yellow." Su Nan saw that the leaves of a white camellia had turned yellow in large patches. He panicked and shouted loudly.
"No, it's normal for the leaves to turn yellow. They will disappear in two days." Zhou Rang stood at the kitchen door wearing an apron and answered patiently.
Su Nan ripped off a yellow leaf, held it up and ran to Zhou Rang, looking up and asking uncertainly, "Really?"
"Really." Zhou Rang touched her head and reminded her, "Don't you still have to pack your clothes?"
"Oh, right. I'll go first then." Su Nan took Zhou Rang's hand, then put the leaf in his palm.
After completing this step, she quickly washed her hands before returning to the room to pack her large bag of clothes.
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 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 room also underwent a major 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 a curtain with a blue background and white flowers hanging 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.
