Chapter 179

It's may now. There are still four months before the enrollment of primary and secondary schools in September. During this time, Yan Chu needs to deal with the goods that need to be sold urgently. At the same time, he keeps running back and forth in the urban area and provincial capital to find a house suitable for renting.

In addition, we should also complete the temporary residence permit and the materials for children to register for admission after they go to the provincial capital.

In the past four months, because of the family's previous savings, the profits of the goods that came back from Shencheng last time, and the 200 yuan that Yan Chu's second cousin's family reluctantly took out, it was far from the time when they ran out of ammunition and food.

At the end of June, the day before July, Yan Chu finally finished everything. At the same time, the old lady and several granddaughters prepared almost everything that needed to be moved from home.

Until the moving van drove to the entrance of the Hutong, the neighbors heard that the Yan family was moving.

"How did you move well?"

An old lady with small feet holding Lu Aihua's hand said that she was one of the few talkable friends of the old lady in this alley.

"Ah Chu has found a job elsewhere. The children can't be separated from their father for a long time. Just move in with the whole family and rent a house."

The small yard of the Yan family is not big, but a small family can live more than enough.

In addition, there was a yard with a water well in the yard. A family who wanted to rent a house nearby came to see it and gave a deposit that day, waiting for the Yan family to move out and move in.

Lu Aihua also told her old sister about it. Don't let the tenant come and be regarded as a thief.

"I'm far away from home, and I don't know if I can meet again."

The old lady was a little reluctant, but people of their generation had experienced war and had long been used to separation. Now they are feeling sad.

"There will always be a day to come back."

The old lady thought, when her grandchildren are old, if she is still alive, she must go back to the old yard to have a look. Maybe there will be a day to get together at that time.

When they were about to leave, all the old grievances and disagreements were put aside. The neighbors nearby came to help carry some furniture and luggage to the truck at the entrance of the alley. Some people were curious about where Yan Chu's new job was and where his family moved. Yan Chu fooled them in a few words and talked a lot. As a result, no one asked where their new home was, People didn't realize this until they got into the car and looked at the smaller and smaller shadow of the truck.

"I'm afraid I have to hide from his relatives."

A sensible man suddenly said.

"I guess so."

Everyone then sighed a few words and said how kind the Yan Chu family was and how bad their old relatives were. They completely forgot their joy of watching the excitement and the words they thought they were joking when teasing several daughters of the Yan family.

Thousands of mistakes are the fault of those relatives of the Yan family. I'm afraid that the people on the side of Uncle Yan Chu's lobby and second cousin will be unable to lift their heads in this area for a long time to come.

"Dad, look at the vest I made."

There are only two positions in the front of the truck, one is the driver's seat and the other is the co driver's seat. When the old lady is old, she sits in front with her two-year-old grandson. Yan Chu sits in the car pocket with five daughters and those furniture and luggage.

Now the weather is a little muggy. Sitting in the car pocket blowing the wind is also an interesting thing for several children.

The youngest jade sisters are tired of their father and show off their achievements in the past month.

This is a simple little vest. The white cotton cloth has been watered once and feels soft and comfortable. In the center of the vest, four or five different colors of cloth are used to sew a flower. The cutting and sewing techniques are not very clever. It looks strange, but it also has a taste of childlike fun.

"Which little princess sewed this flower? It looks so beautiful."

Yan Chu was not stingy with his praise. He was not stingy as long as he didn't spend money.

Yan Jin and Yan Zhen blushed slightly. Their sisters were not old enough to touch the sewing machine. Now grandma taught them some basic sewing. Now the flowers on the vest held by the twins were sewn by the two sisters.

Originally, the two sisters thought that the sewing was a little ugly. It was far worse than the clothes grandma used to make for them with a sewing machine, but now listening to the sincere praise of her father, the two sisters felt that their embroidery work was not bad, and their mood to improve their embroidery level was more and more exuberant.

"Dad, Dad, I chose the color of the petals with four Jadeites and five emeralds."

Yan Zhu ranks third among the sisters. She is not as old as the first two sisters and can help with some housework. Unlike her two little sisters, it is rare for twins to let people come.

It is hard to avoid being ignored when you are in a position of being in a top-down position.

Over the past few months, Yan Zhu became more cheerful. She felt that she was as important as other sisters in her father's eyes and began to actively show herself in front of her family.

This is a good habit and should be cultivated from an early age.

"Well, the color of the flowers selected from three beads, four Jadeites and five emeralds is also very beautiful. This vest looks better than the clothes sold in the mall. Dad can't wait to see what you look like when you wear it."

The Yan Family's genes are good, and every child is particularly outstanding. Even if it's worn with rags, it's estimated that it won't be ugly. What's more, this vest is really not ugly. The old lady keeps it off.

"I didn't plan this time, otherwise the saved cloth can make some urine rings for my brother."

The eldest daughter Yan Jin sighed and said that now in her heart, in order to be able to study for herself and her younger brothers and sisters, there are places to save money at home. The utilization rate of the white cotton cloth bought by her father before is not high enough. After finishing the little vests and trousers of several sisters, there are a pile of fragmented cloth ends. When they are put together, they are not small.

Yan Jin felt sorry for the wasted cloth. If they hadn't cut the scissors in a hurry and painted the cutting range on the cloth again, they might have saved a lot of cloth.

The eldest daughter now has the sense of housekeeper, which makes Yan Chu very happy.

"It doesn't matter. Isn't there a useless cloth at home? Think about it before you start this time. When you arrive in the provincial capital, dad will take you to the mall to see what other people's clothes are like, and we can learn."

Yan Chu thought that he didn't go against his original idea just to see or buy.

The mall?

The five girls' eyes were so bright that they almost blinded Yan Chu.

*****

The house rented by Yan Chu considered the problem of children going to school in the future. Across an alley is a small town in the city. The old lady has to take care of other children in the family who are not old enough to go to school. It must be impossible to send her granddaughter to and from school. In this way, the school is closer and safer.

The yard is very large. It is an old-fashioned courtyard in the form of a single family, which is similar to the yard of the Yan family.

The landlord's son was abroad. The old couple were intellectuals. They were probably persecuted in those years. They were afraid of fighting. As soon as they were rehabilitated, they quickly found a relationship and went abroad to find their son.

Their Sanheyuan is a ancestral house, but the old couple probably don't want to come back. The trustee wants to sell it, but the price is too high, 15000 yuan, which is far beyond the current price of the same type of house, and many people are deterred.

The old couple urgently needed money, so they changed their words to rent. The monthly rent was 38, once a year, that is, Yan Chu didn't have to worry about the house being sold in this year.

The main room has four bedrooms, one for Yan Chu, one for the old lady and two for the children. When they are older and need each child to have their own private space, they can clean up several empty rooms in the left and right wing rooms.

However, Yan Chu estimated that at that time, the family might have bought their own house and could not use the wing rooms on both sides for the time being.

Now the old three, the old four, the old five and the youngest son still have to sleep with the old lady, otherwise she is not at ease. Yan Jin, nine, and Yan Zhu, seven, owned a house jointly belonging to their sisters before starting their primary school career, and Yan Chu allowed them to decorate their room with those broken cloth trinkets, making the two sisters happy all day.

Until I went out at night to get familiar with the surrounding environment, the corners of my mouth didn't come down.

The Yan family went out after dinner. The sun was long in summer. When they finished dinner at more than five o'clock, it was still very lively outside.

The whole family is ready to go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to purchase some necessities of life. When they move, they bring most things with them, but there is always something missing.

Now, some vendors have begun to appear in the streets, most of them selling food or fashionable gadgets in the south.

One of them sells sweet scented osmanthus porridge. The business is particularly good. The main reason is that the smell of sweet scented osmanthus is too overbearing. Everyone can't help coming to the stall when they smell the smell.

It's still the end of June. It's far from the blooming season of osmanthus. It's estimated that the osmanthus used by the family to cook porridge was left last year, but I don't know how to save it.

Even after dinner, the children couldn't help being greedy when they smelled the smell.

The sweet scented osmanthus fragrance is mixed with the fragrance of millet porridge. Sugar should be added. The air is sweet.

Yan Fei and Yan Cui took their sisters' hands and swallowed their saliva. They did not speak.

"Let's have osmanthus porridge. It's not expensive. It's eight cents a bowl."

When Yan Chu passed by, the boss said to him that the price was really reasonable, but Yan Chu looked at it. The bowl was the size of an ordinary family bowl. You can drink it in three or two. Ordinary adults have to have at least three bowls if they want to be full.

"Boss, a bowl of Osmanthus porridge."

Yan Chu handed over eight cents and then carried the bowl of Osmanthus porridge handed over by the boss, still steaming.

"Mom, you taste it. I smell good."

Yan Chu scooped a spoonful and handed it to the old lady holding little sun.

"I don't drink it. Give it to the children."

The old lady shook her head. The old man always wanted to leave good things to his children.

"You brought up all the children. What good things do you have in our family? You are most qualified to drink."

Yan Chu didn't want the children to develop the idea that all the good things of their parents and elders should be left to them. Filial piety to their elders is the virtue that children should learn most.

"Grandma drinks."

Several little girls were greedy when they looked at osmanthus porridge, but no one thought dad's words were wrong.

The sons and granddaughters were filial, and the old lady's eyes were red. She drank the spoon of porridge handed over by her son happily. She thought it was particularly sweet. This was the best osmanthus porridge she had ever drunk.

In the second bite, Yan Chu left it to himself, and then there were five girls in turn. The youngest son was lucky enough to drink a small spoon of Osmanthus porridge at the bottom of the porridge. His small tongue licked the corners of his mouth, so beautiful that his eyes narrowed into a small crack.

When everyone took a bite, the bowl of porridge just disappeared. Yan Chu returned the bowl to the boss. Even if the money in his bag was enough to buy all the porridge in the stall, he only chose to buy that bowl.

The whole family was very happy. No one thought that everyone had less porridge.

Yan Chu thought proudly that he was rich but stingy, but he was a good father.
