Seeing that she was holding the puppy doll, An Qiuxi said, "Do you like it? If you like it, I'll give it to you."
Yu Xiaoyu quickly put the doll down and said nonchalantly, "No, I just picked it up to look at it. I don't like it."
An Qiuxi smiled.
"Take it, we're family, no need to be polite with family."
These words deeply moved Yu Xiaoyu, and she couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness. When she picked up the gray and white puppy, it was as if she were picking up her past self, the Yu Xiaoyu who had died in the fire, the Yu Xiaoyu who had no relatives.
"Thank you, Sister Xi." After saying this, Yu Xiaoyu hugged the doll and disappeared from the room.
This surprised Nangong and An Qiuxi.
Nangong picked up a small dinosaur doll and looked at An Qiuxi's somewhat plain room.
"Xiaoxi, if it weren't for these dolls, your room really wouldn't look like a girl's room."
An Qiuxi blinked. Couldn't the room be simpler? Does it have to be pink and princess-like to be a girl's room?
Nangong reached out and pinched An Qiuxi's little face.
"But it's okay, our little stream is the cutest in the world, I love the little stream the most."
An Qiuxi was stunned by Nangong's sudden confession, and Nangong laughed heartily at An Qiuxi's reaction.
Realizing that Nangong was teasing her on purpose, An Qiuxi blushed and walked to the table. She reached into the basin, took out the completely soaked tattered towel, wrung it out, and then silently began to wipe the bookshelf in the room.
Seeing that An Qiuxi's face was red and she was still not speaking, Nangong blinked in confusion.
Suddenly she realized something, and her red eyes widened.
Oh no, I've raised my child badly.
It became immediately clear where Yanluo's attributes came from.
Meanwhile, in the capital, after lunch, Tu Yier went out to play with her grandparents, while Ye Min and Ye Shuang followed Tu Xing and the others at Tu Luoxue's instruction.
Su Qing rolled up her sleeves, tied her hair into a bun, then put on a white paper hat, transforming into the family commander and assigning everyone their responsibilities.
The spring cleaning has officially begun.
Thankfully, this wasn't in Ngee Ann. Most of the furniture in Ngee Ann is made of wood. Only children in Ngee Ann understand this pain, especially those who live in self-built houses. Those wooden stair railings are a nightmare.
Just then, Yan Luo was carrying the wooden chairs from the dining table to the backyard to wash them when Chu Hang made a video call.
Yanluo put down her chair to answer the phone, only to be met with a deafening wail from the Yi'an trio.
Yanluo, who hadn't been home for several years, recalled that her and her friends' homes were the nightmares of the children of Yi'an, with Chu Hang's wails being the loudest.
"No way!! I'm about to graduate from university, why would I need to wipe the handrails?"
Zhang Chuchu squeezed in to show Yan Luo her bright red little hands, "Why did we buy mahogany furniture before?!"
Xu Yang didn't wail much; he just adjusted his glasses, but the hand he used to adjust them was also terribly red and trembling.
Yan Luo flipped the camera and pointed at the dining chair.
"Don't shout, I want some too."
Chu Hang and Zhang Chuchu gave Yan Luo a cool middle finger in unison. Zhang Chuchu took the phone and turned it 360 degrees before Yan Luo realized that this was his own home.
"Yanluo, do you even want to listen to what you're saying?! The three of us worked so hard to clean your house so that it would be easier for you when you came back on the second day of the Lunar New Year, and this is how you talk to me? Do you believe I'll burn your house down?"
Yan Luo smiled; it seemed that cleaning had broken her guard.
He quickly reassured them, "Oh, it's nothing. We'll bring you some local specialties from the capital when we go back on the second day of the Lunar New Year to treat you. Make sure you clean up properly!"
Zhang Chuchu gave Yan Luo the middle finger again, "Give the phone to my sister-in-law and get out of here. I hate the sight of you."
Yanluo smacked her lips as she walked into the house and handed her phone to Su Qing, who was sitting on the stepladder.
"Honey, it's for you."
Su Qing took the phone and found it was Zhang Chuchu. She listened to Zhang Chuchu and Chu Hang complaining while wiping the window.
Yanluo turned around to go back to the backyard to wash the chairs, but saw the little golden retriever wiping the cabinet in the corner of the living room, while Tu Keke was singing.
"Woo-wa-tang, woo-wa-tang, I'll get a wife who wets her pants."
Yanluo pouted. She hadn't even cleaned properly yet and someone had already gone crazy. She secretly gave Tu Keke the middle finger, and then gave Mansui, who was sweeping, the middle finger as well. Satisfied, Yanluo went to the backyard to wash the wooden chairs.
Chi Miaomiao was tidying up the kitchen. She took off the oil tray of the range hood and was a little stunned to see that the oil tray was quite clean. But since she had already taken it off, Chi Miaomiao decided to clean it and put it back.
Tu Luoxue and Lu Jiajing tidied up the second floor. Tu Luoxue pushed open the door to the room where Tu Yi and Yan Li used to live. Everything seemed unchanged, and the couple's belongings were still in the same place.
After staying for two or three days, this was the first time Lu Jiajing had come to this room with Tu Luoxue.
"Xuexue, what is this room?"
“This room belongs to my parents,” Tu Luoxue said softly.
Upon hearing this, Lu Jiajing hugged Tu Luoxue from behind, rested her chin on Tu Luoxue's shoulder, and wrapped her arms around her.
"Don't be too sad. Their spirits are watching over you from heaven. If you keep being sad, they will feel bad too."
Tu Luoxue wiped her slightly moist eyes and looked at the clean room, saying, "My grandma often sends people to clean the house, so the house is always quite clean. Let's just leave this room like this."
"Let's go clean the other rooms."
Lu Jiajing nodded and walked out of the room with Tu Luoxue in her arms.
On the third floor, Shang Xinci looked at the clean place and fell into deep thought. Why make things so complicated when a simple dust-cleansing spell could solve the problem?
Although Bai Ningbing's idea of "when in Rome, do as the Romans do" makes a lot of sense, Shang Xinci still thinks that there are more convenient methods, so why not use them?
You also have to clean it yourself.
However, Shang Xinci could understand, so she didn't voice her thoughts, but instead cleaned the rooms and floors on the third floor with Bai Ningbing.
Bai Ningbing's mouth was like it was coated with poison; she kept bickering with Shang Xinci while cleaning up.
Shen Yulan often sent people to clean her house, but it wasn't actually very dirty, and there was nothing that needed cleaning.
In one afternoon, everyone cleaned the entire villa inside and out.
Yan Luo lay on the sofa. After rinsing the wooden chairs, he tidied up the entire yard, inside and out.
Tu Keke kicked Yan Luo's butt.
"I, the Great King, also wish to sit. Please rise."
Yan Luo pointed to her back, then looked up at Tu Keke and said, "Give your dear uncle a massage, and he will mercifully get up and let you sit down."
Surprisingly, Tu Keke did not object, but instead actually reached out and started massaging Yan Luo's back.
Tu Keke's strength was a little light, and Yan Luo shamelessly said, "King Keke, stand on my back and let me massage your back so that your noble hands can rest."
The little golden retriever glared at Yanluo, took off its slippers, stood on Yanluo's back, and began to massage Yanluo's back.
