There were so many people helping Yingzi on the day she moved, and it was all over in a short while.
She originally planned to move it slowly by herself using the kitchen donkey, but Zhang Li refused and called a logistics purchasing truck. Hua Qing found five young men, plus Zhu Debao, and it was done in a short time.
"Everything has been arranged upstairs for you, you can clean it up yourself." After Zhang Li finished speaking, she was about to go downstairs. Seeing that Zhu Debao was there, she gestured and said, "Lao Zhu, you have nothing to do, help me tidy up."
Zhu Debao nodded in agreement.
"No, the child and I will be fine." Yingzi hurriedly stopped her.
"What's he doing while he's idle? It's okay to go back. Why don't you hurry up and ask him to help you?" After Zhang Li finished speaking, she went downstairs.
Zhu Debao helped save a lot of effort, and soon the house was almost tidied up. Seeing that there was nothing left, Zhu Debao was about to leave, and Yingzi wanted to keep him for dinner, so he smiled and went downstairs.
"Mom, does Uncle Zhu have trouble with his ears?" Ruoxi asked while making the bed.
"Well, I can't hear in my left ear." Yingzi said.
"How was it done?"
"It was said that when I was a kid, I set off firecrackers during the Chinese New Year."
"How big of a firecracker will that be?"
"have no idea------"
Ruoxi is very happy to move to a new house. She is happy that she has her own room so that her studies and homework will not affect her mother's rest. She is fourteen and has personal affairs and secrets in the girl's family. She hopes to have an independent life.
Space.
The little girl has already started planning her room eagerly.
Yingzi is also happy. Of course, she is grateful to Zhang Li. This big house only charges the same price as the original rented house, and she will be given as much as she wants. There is no land left, so why not make her grateful.
She stood in the living room smiling and looking around.
There is nothing missing in the house, which is equivalent to moving in with your bags.
There are air conditioners, washing machines, and water heaters. You no longer need to use a washboard to wash clothes, and you can take a shower every day.
The thought of taking a bath made her sad and she felt sorry for her child.
When the children were young, it was fine. They boiled a pot of hot water and washed them in the basin. But when they grew up and became ashamed, they no longer wanted to wash in the basin, and the basin could not hold them.
She wanted to take her child to the bathtub, but she didn't dare to take off her mask. It wasn't because she was afraid of other people's jokes or fear, but because she was afraid of other people's jokes and the psychological shadow it would have on her child.
She knew how terrifying the scar on her face was, and she also knew how others would scream in terror when they saw it, and then they would avoid it with fear and disgust on their faces, like they were avoiding the plague.
You can not care about yourself, but not your children.
Fortunately, Xiao Ruoxi is very sensible and always stands in the basin alone, wiping and washing herself.
That was when Ruoxi was eight years old and already in elementary school. One day she said to her, "Mom, I'm going to take a bath by myself. Don't worry, I can do it."
She was stunned and looked at her daughter.
Yes, the child is eight years old and has grown up-----
"Okay, mom will take you there and wait for you outside," she said.
She watched her thin and frail daughter walk into the bathtub alone, and tears fell down------
My daughter came out of the bath, raised her little rosy face and said, "Mom, it's so hot in there and the water is so good. There was an aunt who watched me wash alone and even rubbed my back."
"Really? Thank you, auntie?" she asked, holding back tears. It was a mother's job to rub her daughter's back, but she could only wait outside -----
"Thank you." The daughter said again: "The aunt who was looking at the bathhouse didn't let me in because I was young. She said I was young and had to be led by an adult. I lied and said I came with my mother, and my mother went in first.
I was left behind. After I said that, I gave her the bath ticket and went in, hehe."
That was the first time she didn't reprimand her daughter for lying, but there were tears in her eyes.
She has always wanted to buy a water heater for the rented house, but she earns too little money and has many places to spend money------
To be honest, she hasn't taken a bath in a bathtub in ten years------
Tears soaked in the eye circles------
"Dang Dang Dang" someone knocked on the door.
Yingzi hurriedly wiped away her tears, walked to the door, opened it, and saw that it was Jiaheng.
Jiaheng was holding a cardboard box with a desk lamp stacked on top of it.
"Oh, I'm exhausted." Jiaheng said as he entered the house, "I thought you hadn't finished moving. I just came back from training."
Ruoxi had already come out of the room. When she saw the lamp, she grabbed it first and said happily: "I really brought the lamp."
"Well, this is for you, I have another one." Jia Heng pointed to the cardboard box on the ground and said to Yingzi: "Aunt Yingzi, this is the washing powder and laundry detergent that my mother brought."
"That's a lot, thank you." Yingzi said.
"My mother told me not to buy washing powder and laundry detergent at home from now on. She buys them in group online, which is cheaper," Jia Heng said.
"When did your mother come back?"
"Last night, she came back not long after I returned from dinner at your house. I told her that your family was moving today, and she asked me to deliver these things."
"I brought it to my aunt. What do you need at home?"
"There's more." Jiaheng smiled playfully at Yingzi: "Auntie, I'm eating at your house today. My mother said she got off work late."
"Okay, I'm not happy about this."
Yingzi put away the washing powder and laundry detergent, and then went to the kitchen to cook.
Ruoxi led Jiaheng into her room, put the desk lamp away, plugged it in, turned on the switch, and the light came on.
"I've always wanted to have a desk lamp." Ruoxi said, looking at the bright light.
"My mother bought this for me. The previous one was given to me by Uncle Li. It works well, but it's not as good as this one------" Jia Heng said.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome, I can't use it now. When I was young, my family rented a house just like yours. The house was quite small, with three houses and one kitchen. I would sit on the bed and do my homework on the dining table. Uncle Li watched me write. After a lot of effort, I asked Mrs. Li to buy me a desk lamp.
That desk lamp is not as good as this one, but I like it, so I brought this one to you." Jia Heng said.
"Thank you, brother." Ruoxi said seriously with her big eyes flashing.
"Haha, what did you call me?" Jiaheng asked in confusion.
"I'll call you brother, aren't you older than me?" Ruoxi said, with a cunning look in her big eyes.
"It should have been called a long time ago."
"cut!"
Suzhou, Siheyuan.
The evening breeze was blowing, the moon and stars were sparse, and a square table was placed under the tall plane tree. On the table were several delicious side dishes and several bottles of old wine.
Lao Tan, Gu Yi, Sister Wang, Qiao Shan, Qiao Gang, and Ya Ru were sitting around. Although they were not as elegant as literati, they were still having a drink at night, which was very pleasant.
"This time, you are right to listen to Lao Tan. There are not many stores, but being able to do well is the most important thing. The same goes for outsiders. How much money a person earns in this life is limited. As Lao Tan said, even if you don't have that great virtue, you can't bear that. All the great wealth will have to be vomited out when the time comes, I agree." Gu Yi said.
"Houde Zaiwu." Qiao Gang said: "You and Qiao Shan are good now. It's hard to say that you two already have a restaurant. What if you don't? Just open the existing store well. How much can you earn? I Now I don’t make any money, I just need to spend the money in one year, and it’s not easy to distribute the rest to the employees.”
Sister Wang said: "You are already old, you can't look away from anything, just be happy." Then she glanced at Gu Yi and said, "If you have something to do in a day, your parents are healthy, you are in good health, and your children don't have to worry about it, it is a good life."
"The main thing is to have a good wife." Gu Yi joked.
