Chapter 126 Building a House
Chapter 126 Building a House
The next morning, Chi Xiaotong started packing.
If we want to expand on the current site, we will have to demolish the current residence.
All the things at home need to be packed up and moved to Chen's house.
When Chi Xiaotong said she wanted to expand the house, Chen's mother said that they could live in their house during the construction period, saving Chi Xiaotong and her family from having to build a temporary residence.
Chi Xiaotong was not polite at all to the Chen family. She did not refuse at all and accepted the offer directly.
In this world, Chi Xiaotong has no relatives. The Chen family is her benefactor and even more her relative.
There is no need to be polite to your mother, father, sisters and brothers. If you are too polite, it will seem like distance.
"Xiao Yu, are you done cleaning up?" Seeing Chen Chengshan coming, Chi Xiaotong turned around and shouted into the house.
"Not yet, it will be soon!" Tian Yu answered loudly.
"Brother-in-law, let me help you!" Chen Chengshan went into the house and helped pack up.
You need to bring all your daily necessities with you, and pack up the things you don’t need for the time being but want to keep. For the rest, just throw them away!
Tian Yu looked at this, then looked at that, and was reluctant to throw away any of them. He was struggling over and over again, and had not finished cleaning up.
Chi Xiaotong was also conflicted, but luckily everything she packed up was something she would use, so she just had to organize it. As long as it wasn't broken, she would definitely use it in the future.
Chen Chengshan was much more straightforward and picked and chose.
"This dress is old, don't want it! And this one is broken in several places!" Chen Chengshan picked it out and Tian Yu picked it up in his arms.
"You gave me this. I can mend it and wear it for work!"
Chen Chengshan had no choice but to bring them all back: "Then keep them, we'll stack them up and pack them up!"
When Chen Chengyu came and saw that Chi Xiaotong had packed almost everything, he was speechless.
"Are you going to move your entire home? There are so many, just throw away the useless ones!"
"They are all useful! This and this, they will be useful in the future!"
Chen Chengyu held his forehead with his hand, and Chen Chengshan just came out.
“Sister, just don’t worry about it, it’s not just Sister Xiaotong, it’s also my brother-in-law! He’s really a wife-husband! Come and help me move things!”
Chi Xiaotong turned around, looked at Tian Yu, and both smiled embarrassedly.
"Let me do it. I've packed it up! No need to move it, just put it aside!" said Chi Xiaotong.
"Let's go!" What else could Chen Chengyu say but to work.
"These are not needed for now!" Tian Yu said, pointing to two big bags.
"Then, let's move to the sugar factory! It won't be in the way and it's not far away!"
"Okay." Chen Chengyu took action immediately.
Chi Xiaotong went to get another one.
"Mom, we'll help you!" Yuanyuan said.
"No need, you and Daddy take your things and go to Grandma's house first!"
"This is heavy, we don't need it, let's take the lighter ones!" said Chen Chengshan.
After Chen Chengyu and Chi Xiaotong left, the four of them also picked up their things and set off. Chen Chengshan specially picked out two light bags for them.
"Can we not wait for mother and aunt?"
"Why not? It's not like they can't find the way!"
"But we are men. How can we let women do heavy work? Why don't we wait for them and go by ourselves?" Yuanyuan was confused.
"What's wrong with men? Women are stronger. If they don't do the heavy work, who will?" Chen Chengshan said as a matter of course.
Yuanyuan stopped talking and walked with her head down.
"Before, everyone around you told you that, right?" Tian Yu asked.
Nodding his head.
"Our family and my grandmother's family are different from those families! In those families, men have a low status and are born to work. When they reach a certain age, they get married and earn a betrothal gift. Then they work in their wives' families and give birth to daughters!
But in our family, men are also treasures. Men are born weak, so women do the dirty and tiring work. Men are careful, so they sew and mend things and take care of the family! Everyone has their own division of labor, and they do different things according to their personalities and abilities!
I used to be the same as you. Your mother told me all this after we got married. She proved her words with her actions and made me believe it!
From now on, you must find a wife who loves you and treats you well!"
Tian Yu said gently.
The remaining three people looked at Tian Yu's happy expression and had different thoughts.
Chen Chengshan thought: If Sister Xiaotong heard these words, she would be so happy that she would die. It’s a pity that she didn’t hear them!
For Yuanyuanman, it will take time to verify and experience these words.
In half a day, four adults and two children emptied Chi Xiaotong's house. They didn't have many things to begin with, and the house was small, so if they bought too much, there would be no place to put them.
Most of them were tools and various jars that Chi Xiaotong bought when she was making canned food and preserved fruits. They were all moved to the sugar factory.
When the Chen family's house was first built, they reserved guest rooms for Chen Shang, Chen Yu and others. Now that Chi Xiaotong and the others have moved in, they only occupy two rooms.
In the afternoon, they had to look for workers. Chen's mother took Chen Chengyu and Chi Xiaotong to several places before they found all the people they needed. They were waiting to start work tomorrow.
I asked in advance what materials and tools were needed, but after I got back, I didn't even have time to rest.
Chi Xiaotong went to the town and bought things according to the list, and Chen Chengyu followed her.
With Chen Chengyu's help, Chi Xiaotong felt relaxed and at ease.
The two of them returned home after dark. They pulled a cart full of things and unloaded them at Chi Xiaotong's house before going back to Chen's house for dinner.
The others had already finished eating, leaving the food for the two of them. The two of them didn't bother to set up a table, but directly took two small stools and sat in the kitchen to eat.
Yuanyuan stood at the door and watched for a while. If this happened in her original home, this scene would never happen.
After everyone finished eating, they sat individually on small stools and ate in the kitchen. If it were his own mother, she would have smashed the bowl and then beaten the three of them, father and son.
But at this moment, Chi Xiaotong and Chen Chengyu were still chatting and laughing while eating.
Not only Chi Xiaotong, but also Chen Chengyu is like this. Looking at the conditions of the Chen family, as the only daughter of Chen's mother, she should have had extremely good conditions since childhood. How could she not be angry when eating leftovers on the stove?
"Yuanyuan? What are you looking at? Come here!" Chi Xiaotong saw him and called him over.
Yuanyuan slowly walked to Chi Xiaotong and called out "Mom".
"Well, are you hungry?" As he said that, he picked out a piece of meat to feed him.
Yuanyuan shook her head: "I'm not hungry, just come and take a look!"
Chi Xiaotong fed him the meat and asked, "What are you looking at? Are you watching us eat?"
Yuanyuan could only swallow the meat before speaking: "We'll eat first. You guys are tired after a whole day, and you still have to eat here!"
"So what? It's so troublesome to put a table. It's just the two of us. We can eat anywhere!" Chi Xiaotong said casually.
"Are you afraid that we will be angry, so you didn't wait for us?" Chen Chengyu asked.
Yuanyuan was silent.
"Didn't my mother eat with you?"
"Yes, so grandpa eats, uncle eats, but Manman and I should wait for mom!" Yuanyuan said in a low voice.
"Just for this? Yuanyuan, has your father eaten yet?"
"We have, grandma asked us to eat together!"
"Well, just eat it!" Chi Xiaotong was afraid of these three stubborn people, so she hasn't eaten yet.
Fortunately, this is at Chen's house, and Chen's mother is there, so that kind of situation will not happen.
