Chapter 72 Moving to the Little Qingwafang
Chapter 72 Moving to Xiaoqingwa House
Everyone is very satisfied with this newly built small blue-tiled house.
I wish I could move out of the small thatched house and live here right away.
Father Zhang did not agree.
The reason is that moving is such a big happy event.
You must choose a good and auspicious day.
From now on, start preparing to purchase the items you need to prepare for moving to your new home.
Zhang Jinlin and Liu Mei expressed their envy on the spot.
I hope I can move back and live with you all.
Father Zhang asked: "You have separated your family.
This house looks big now.
But he only built one kitchen.
If you move back here.
How to solve the cooking problem?
It's impossible for your mother to serve food for 9 people by herself."
Zhang Jinlin’s meaning is also very clear: “Dad, you should treat us brothers fairly.
My family was separated and I didn't get your house at all.
I built the house on the mountain with my own loan money.
The repairs are also very crude.
And the four members of the family smelled the pig manure there every day.
Very uncomfortable.
Besides, Liu Mei is pregnant now.
He retches every day when he smells pig manure."
Father Zhang: "Fair?
How unfair.
Your thousand big fat pigs will be sold soon.
Shouldn’t the money you earn be given to the old man to be distributed uniformly?”
Zhang Jinlin replied: "That is the result of the joint efforts of the four of us. How can we hand it over and distribute it uniformly?"
Father Zhang replied: "This new house was not paid for by the old man himself.
They were all repaired by Zhang Jinhai using the money earned from Lao Er and Lao San's factories.
You want to move back, have you asked their opinion?"
Zhang Jinlin smiled naively and said, "Isn't this something I just thought of when I saw the new house?
Of course, I need to ask the old man for your instructions first.
As for the brothers.
I'll ask immediately.
Second child, third child, fourth child.
Let the three of you talk about it, this house now has extra room anyway.
There are some available.
Just let me move back and live there for a while.
How about it?
After all, the mountain is too close to the pig farm.
The smell is too strong.”
The second child, Zhang Jinshan, thought for a while and then replied: "I have no objection.
But if you come back to live, you and your family must be diligent.
You can't let mom cook alone every day.
In that case, mom will definitely be too busy."
Zhang Jincheng, the third child, said: "I think it's not impossible for you to move back here.
But after all, as the boss, you have already separated the family.
Your financial income belongs entirely to your family.
Unlike my second brother and I, our financial income is still managed by my mother.
To come back to live, at least a few conditions must be met:
1. Food expenses must be paid on an average basis per head.
2. Arrange people equally according to the number of people to help the kitchen cook, wash dishes, and feed pigs.
3. When the food in the kitchen is not delicious, you have to keep gossiping."
Zhang Jinhai said: "What the second brother and the third brother said are also what I meant."
The boss Zhang Jinlin replied: "There are no problems with these.
The cost and manpower of the stall are calculated based on the number of people.
In this way, the living conditions of the four of us now and the five of us in the future will be significantly improved."
Father Zhang smiled and said: "Let me make it clear first, if you fail to fulfill these promises in the future.
But don’t blame me for kicking you out.”
Zhang Jinlin and Liu Mei jointly stated: "It can definitely be done."
A large family arranged the bedrooms on the spot.
Zhang Jinhai asked for the bedroom at the farthest end of the upstairs corridor.
Next to it is Zhang Jincheng's bedroom, and next to it is Zhang Jinshan's room.
Next to it is the bedroom of Zhang's father and Zhang's mother.
Zhang Jinlin and his wife chose the downstairs room of Zhang Jinshan as their bedroom.
Liu Mei's parents chose the downstairs room of Zhang's father and Zhang's mother as their bedroom.
There are still two bedrooms available as temporary guest rooms.
In case a small number of guests come, we have a certain capacity to stay.
Father Zhang found the most famous gentleman in every village and farm around him to choose an auspicious day.
Some said July 29th, some said July 30th, and some said August 15th.
All in all, they are all awesome.
But the answers they gave never repeated themselves, and they looked very individual.
Zhang’s father is also an old soldier with military experience.
Think about it, these are just some feudal superstitions.
Since they can't choose a good day that they can mutually agree on.
Then just choose a good day recognized by the country.
In this way, Zhang’s father set the happy day of moving on the great day of August 1st.
Zhang Jinhai knew that he would soon move out of this new house.
There is no need to put too many things in your bedroom.
Based on the principle of economy, I only purchased a new set of bedding.
When each bedroom was built, a desk was already installed as standard.
Others have shopping lists for their bedrooms based on their needs.
Zhang Jinshan drove a tractor and took his family to Qingyi County for centralized purchasing.
7 o'clock in the morning on August 1, 1985.
Under the leadership of Father Zhang, everyone had items that needed to be moved.
Father Zhang is holding a rice jar.
Zhang's mother held a new broom in her left hand and a vegetable oil bottle in her right hand.
Zhang Jinlin’s salt and bacon.
Zhang Jinshan hugged a bed of thick cotton wool.
Zhang Jincheng hugged a set of sheets and quilt covers.
Zhang Jinhai hugged a set of sheets and quilt covers.
Liu Mei took a set of bowls of different sizes and a new pair of chopsticks.
Father Liu brought fresh vegetarian dishes.
Mother Liu took a big piece of fresh pork belly.
A group of nine people.
It only took a few minutes to get out of the thatched hut and arrive at the new house.
After Zhang's father entered the new house, he first entered the kitchen room.
There are words in the mouth.
Then Zhang’s mother symbolically cleaned the kitchen with a broom.
All items needed for the kitchen are stacked in the kitchen.
The three female comrades Zhang Mu, Liu Mu and Liu Mei arranged the arrangements one by one and started to prepare breakfast.
Other items will be placed where they should be by the mover himself.
The remaining people all returned to the thatched house to carry various items to the newly built small blue-tiled house.
The slightly more troublesome thing is that we need to move a few pigs raised in the pen.
Zhang Jinshan, Zhang Jincheng, and Zhang Jinhai were dragging and pulling, but they couldn't get the pig away at all.
Zhang Jinhai thought about whether he should ask Zhang Jinlin to complete the task of driving pigs.
What everyone didn't expect was that as soon as Zhang Jinlin took action, several pigs naturally followed him away.
No effort required at all.
Zhang Jincheng also joked: "Big brother is very powerful now.
These pigs have to listen to him."
Zhang Jinshan smiled and said: "After all, the eldest brother is the one who raises more than 1,000 big fat pigs.
These pigs smelled his unique smell.
I will follow him obediently."
Zhang Jinlin expressed dissatisfaction from the front: "You guys.
Stop gossiping there.
It's business to come over quickly and help the pig."
The three brothers obeyed and followed him to help.
What if the pigs that came out to let loose today really escaped during the moving process.
Then the trouble will definitely be big.
The brothers have just put some pigs into a new pigsty.
Mother Zhang called for dinner.
