With two trailers helping to transport things, moving will naturally be much easier.
Everyone loaded furniture and other items onto the carriage, and others who were lighter carried or carried them.
There wasn't much to move originally, but now I moved most of it in one trip.
The new house has been tidied up a long time ago.
There is a circle of garden sticks sandwiched between a piece of wood as high as a person around the house. The gate is also newly made, wider than the original one, and has a gate tower.
The linoleum paper covering the top of the gatehouse, the two doors and the doorposts are all painted with light blue paint.
The carriage stopped at the door of the new house, and Sheng Liancheng and his wife came to open the door.
Then Zhang Shuzhen carried the rice bucket and Sheng Liancheng carried the pot. They entered the room first.
Others carried down furniture and other things and followed in.
The two rooms at the west end of the Sheng family's house are public buildings with brick and tile structures. The east end is connected to a room and a half, with brick cladding and rough walls.
For a unified look, the exterior walls are also painted white.
It has red tiles and white walls, and the doors and windows are the same as the main door, painted with light blue paint. It looks particularly neat and clean, making it eye-catching.
Entering the door is the kitchen, with pots and stoves on the east and west sides of the door.
In the north half of the kitchen, there is a stove set against the wall at the east end, which is connected to the kang in the back room.
Next to the stove is the place for the water vat. There is a row of wall cabinets on the west end, and the lower part is empty, which can be used to store cupboards, sauerkraut jars, pickle jars, sauce jars and other things.
The east room has one and a half rooms, with two large kang beds in the north and south, and the west room has one room and only one bed in the south.
Even though the West Room only has one kang bed, the room is not simple.
This was specially prepared for Sheng Xiping's wedding. The room is equipped with a complete set of new furniture made of flowers and willows.
Kangqin, standing cabinet, writing desk, chest of drawers, a pair of boxes, standing aside, and four chairs.
I didn’t even calculate how many legs there were. Anyway, whatever is popular now, Shenglian Chengdu has prepared it.
"Brother Mingyuan, brothers and sisters, look, this house is prepared for Xiping's wedding. It is fully furnished.
I'm saving up industrial coupons, and I'll see what they like when I have enough.
Or buy a radio, or buy a sewing machine, and add something big to your home."
Sheng Liancheng sat the two iron pots on the stove, but he hadn't even had time to smear them with some yellow mud.
Instead, he took Zhou Mingyuan, Wang Chunxiu and his wife around to the West Room first to show the Sheng family's sincerity.
From the moment Zhou Mingyuan and his wife entered the house, they liked every aspect of their new house.
The house they live in now is still rented from the work unit. They do not have a house of their own, and the place is very small.
The three-and-a-half-room house of the Sheng family is spacious, bright, and neat, making it look a bit unfamiliar.
Looking at the furniture and furnishings in the west room, everything shows the Sheng family's intentions and the importance they attach to Zhou Qinglan.
From the first time Zhou Mingyuan and his wife came into contact with Sheng Xiping, they felt that this young man was a nice guy and had a good tutor. His parents must be reasonable people.
Yesterday I met the Sheng couple and after a conversation, I had a particularly good impression of the Sheng family.
He is honest, down-to-earth, and treats others with warmth and thoughtfulness. If your daughter marries into such a family, her life will definitely be good.
"Brother Sheng, you are attentive." Zhou Mingyuan didn't say much, but a few words contained a lot of content.
"Ahem, isn't this what it should be?
Xiping is the eldest son and has helped the family a lot over the years. When he gets married, we must pay attention to that."
Sheng Liancheng laughed when he heard this. The eldest son established the family, and the eldest daughter-in-law was related to the Sheng family's family style and future. How could she ignore it?
"Well, brother, sister-in-law, you two can watch as you like. I'll make the mud first and put the pot on."
When you move, you need to warm up the house and warm up the pot. Besides, you will have to cook and entertain others later. How can you use it if you don’t install the pot?
"Hey, okay, Brother Sheng is here to take care of you. I'll go out and help carry things."
In the new home, except for the west house which has been settled in advance, there is nothing in the east house now and there is nothing to see.
So Zhou Mingyuan hurried out and helped carry furniture and other things into the house.
Wang Chunxiu helped Zhang Shuzhen to clean up the kitchen first so that she could cook later.
Everyone carried all the things in the car into the house, and moved all the furniture and other items to the east room. Those who should be carried to the kang were put on the kang, and everything was placed where they should be placed.
After the cart was all put away, everyone drove the cart back to transport the remaining things.
The men went to move things, while Zhang Shuzhen, Wang Chunxiu, Xu Xiuxiang, and Zhou Qinglan hurriedly cleaned up the kitchen and prepared meals.
This is easy, as the meat that was divided yesterday hasn't been touched much yet.
Just put it away, fry, fry, whatever you like, it's enough to eat it open anyway.
The kang in the new house is actually used every day to light the fire, but the pot is not placed.
Sheng Liancheng mixed the mud and adjusted it slightly according to the size of the pot.
Then smear yellow mud around the circle of the pot, sit on the iron pot, and turn it slightly twice to make the pot and the surrounding area fit tightly.
Just use a mud trowel to look for it a little bit, and that's it.
The Sheng family's pot top is made of bricks, and has a specially made cement surface, which is much cleaner than the yellow mud pot top.
After setting up the stove, Sheng Liancheng went back to move things.
It is said that a broken home is worth a thousand dollars. Anyway, there are a lot of these bits and pieces in one stroke. If anything is missing, it will not be enough.
So everything that is needed right now has been moved here, except for the warehouse, firewood shed and firewood stacks. Sheng Liancheng has told his family a long time ago that he will not move them for the time being.
At the other end of the old house, Sheng Liancheng was not willing to throw it away. He planned to let others live in it first if someone wanted to live in it.
After a few years, when the second and third children are old, they will renovate the old house to use it for their wives.
The warehouses, firewood sheds, etc. are all set up here, so don’t demolish them there yet.
As for the firewood pile, there is no need to move it all over. Let’s put it on that end first. It will take a long time to go to the forest to pick it up before we start the fire here.
With this arrangement, moving is actually very simple. Otherwise, why would Sheng Liancheng and his wife not plan to do anything, and just think of simply moving here.
Of course, the fact that so many people came to help shows that the Sheng family is well connected.
So after everything was moved and put away, Sheng Liancheng invited everyone into the house to drink tea and chat, and then eat when the food was ready.
On the other end, Zhang Shuzhen sent Sheng Xikang away and went to the Tang family to invite Tang Fengying's parents over for a drink.
At half past eleven, all the food was ready and served, and there happened to be a table on each of the north and south Kang bunks.
Several women and the children of the Sheng family were all eating on the North Kang.
Sheng Liancheng and his son accompanied Zhou Mingyuan and others to drink on the South Kang.
The Sheng family has prepared good wine and food, and everyone is familiar with it, so there is no need to go outside and they can eat and drink when they should.
Chatting while eating and drinking, anyway, we can talk about anything in the world, five hundred years ago and five hundred years after.
"Sister-in-law Shuzhen, cousin-in-law, I am Qinglan's cousin, and I also watched Xiping grow up.
Today, I will say it directly in front of you two."
Before the meal was halfway through, Tang Fengying's mother, Li Yuqin, spoke.
"Cousin, you see, Qinglan and Xiping have been together for several months. The two children are a perfect match and their relationship is very good.
The Sheng family also prepared the house and everything in advance.
As for me, I will act as a matchmaker today and ask for the Sheng family, when will you and your cousin have free time, we can decide on the marriage of the two children, what do you think?"
