"Well, I'm not saying anything, just look at how spacious this yard is. Look at the building we live in. Let's not talk about my house, just look at your house, where a large family lives. How can it be as comfortable as this yard?" When Lu Qingyan heard what Qian Xiaomei said, she nodded in agreement.
"Yes, my family lives in a small house, it's too crowded. If we change it to a small yard, it will be more spacious." Qian Xiaomei thought that if her family exchanged the building for a small yard, they could also get two rooms.
Then, they can live separately from her mother-in-law, which is good.
The living environment she had lived in for the past few years was really awkward, but the house was so big that it couldn't be divided. Now that she has a house that can be divided, of course she wants to move.
Several women who were helping Lu Qingyan move heard the conversation between the two and looked at each other.
I decided to discuss it with my husband when I get back to see if we can exchange this small yard.
Their house is similar to Qian Xiaomei's. It would be great if they could live in such a spacious courtyard.
Then they said they would move no matter what, after all, living in a spacious place is better than living in a crowded place.
"Teacher Lu, you see, they told us that we are both thinking about moving to a smaller courtyard." After noticing the looks from the others, Qian Xiaomei said to Lu Qingyan.
"That's not good. If a few more families move in, this area will be more lively. Otherwise, it will be so deserted with just our two families." Lu Qingyan didn't mind who moved in. After all, they moved in first and there was no one living around.
It would be beneficial if a few more families moved here.
In this way, the surroundings can be more lively, and if anyone has any problems, they can take care of each other.
Otherwise, even if there is something wrong, they have to run over there.
"That's right. If a few more families move in, I'll have someone to chat with. Otherwise, apart from chatting with your aunt every day, I basically stay at home." Hearing this, Qian Xiaomei smiled and nodded, thinking that moving a few more families in would indeed be beneficial.
But they have to move in advance, otherwise the good houses will be chosen by others.
"Then come on. Anyway, my parents don't have anything to do at home except taking care of the kids. It would be interesting for you and your aunt to come and chat with my parents." After Lu Qingyan said this, she turned to Qian Xiaomei and said, "But we are going back to our hometown in two days. When we move in, you can help me take care of my house."
"Ah? Why are you suddenly thinking about going back home?" Qian Xiaomei asked in surprise when she heard Lu Qingyan say that they were going back home.
"My parents have been here for several years. They miss my brothers so much that they want to go back to their hometown to visit them." Lu Qingyan put down the things in her hands and said with a smile: "I thought that the child has grown up but has never been back home. So we will take the opportunity of the summer vacation to take the child back to visit them."
"That's okay. I've been away for several years and haven't taken my children and mother-in-law back. Why don't I find time to go back after you come back? In this way, our two families can take care of each other." When Qian Xiaomei heard what Lu Qingyan said, she felt that she should also take her mother-in-law back. Otherwise, her mother-in-law would probably miss her in her heart even if she didn't say it.
"Okay, then we'll go back first. When we come back, you can go back." Lu Qingyan nodded and agreed.
In this way, the two families can visit each other and help each other look after the yard, which is pretty good.
"Xiaoyan, stop talking there and go into the house to pack your things." Mother Lu was moving things there. Seeing her daughter and Qian Xiaomei still talking there, she told her to go into the house to pack her things.
"Hey, I'm coming." Lu Qingyan agreed and moved her things back to the house to pack up.
Section 79
Seeing this, Qian Xiaomei also turned around to help move things. After they finished moving, they refused Lu Qingyan's invitation to stay for dinner and strolled back to the family building.
"I didn't realize there were so many things when I was packing them up. Now I can't believe they are all from my family." After Lu Qingyan sent everyone away, she looked at the large and small bundles in the house and said with a headache.
"How many years has it been? It's normal to have so many things. Don't waste time here. Hurry up and clean up." When Lu's mother heard her daughter's words, she echoed her daughter and urged her to clean up quickly.
Lu Qingyan could only go into the house with a helpless look on her face and slowly clean up.
"Your daughter, your two children are already so old, but you are still so slow to do any work." Mother Lu looked at her daughter's slow movements, turned her head and said to the old man unhappily
"What can we do? At least she can do some work now. If it were before, she probably wouldn't even want to do anything, let alone do it." Father Lu is quite satisfied that his daughter can do some work now.
After all, their daughter didn't do any work before, so now that she can do a little, they should be content.
"Look at you, you are quite content that your daughter can do some work." When Lu's mother heard what the old man said, she said helplessly: "Just spoil her. Now the two children are so big, and she is still nagging at work. When the two children get married in the future, can she help a little?"
"It's too early for you to say that. It will take more than ten years for the two grandsons to get married." Father Lu said to the old woman unhappily: "I am willing to spoil my daughter. As for the two grandsons, they are both bad boys. When they find wives in the future, let them do it. Why should I let my daughter do it?"
"Aren't you afraid that your two grandsons will follow your example? When you find a wife, find one who is as lazy as your daughter. I'll see what you will do then." After saying this, Mother Lu didn't want to bother with the old man anymore, so she turned around and went to the kitchen to clean up.
"No way. If that happens, I will ask my daughter and son-in-law to take me out to live." Father Lu stared at the old woman's back and muttered softly, then turned around to pack his things.
Lu Qingyan was in the room and had no idea about the conversation between her parents.
At this moment, he was looking at his two sons who were making things worse. He rubbed his forehead and said to his two sons, "Jingming, Qiming, you two should go play in the yard first. We don't need you here."
"Mom, my dad said that when he's not at home, we have to help mom with work. So now that my dad is not at home, we can't go out to play. We have to help you with work." Although Gu Jingming was very moved by his mother's words, he firmly refused when he thought of his father's words.
"It's okay. You are still young and can't help your mother with work, so go out and play first. I'll explain to him when you pick him up, okay?" Lu Qingyan felt warm in her heart when she heard her son's words. She reached out and rubbed her two sons' heads, pushed them, and asked them to go out and play.
"Brother, let's go out and play. This way we can free up space for mom to clean up." Gu Qiming was pushed by his mother and immediately took his brother's hand and ran out to play.
