Chapter 217 New residence
—
"arrive."
Mu Kuan lisuo jumped off the carriage.
Above the steps on the left side of the road is an ordinary yard with gray walls and a thick wooden door, which looks very plain.
Mu Kuan stepped forward to knock on the door quickly, and shouted: "Cheng'er, open the door."
Wang Zhuangzhi parked the carriage under the tree in front, Liu Zhihua came down with Jiaojiao in his arms, and told Erya Xiaoli behind, "Slow down, be careful of spraining your feet."
"Got it, mother."
Erya and Xiao Li helped each other down.
There are not many people in this place, there is a courtyard just a short distance away, and there are quite a few people living nearby.
This place is located at the border of Ancheng, and it is relatively close to the pier, so most of the people who settle here are family members who live in the pier. Although it is a bit far away from the bustling Ancheng, the rental price is much cheaper than that in Ancheng, and the price performance ratio is high .
squeak —
The door was opened from the inside, Mu Cheng poked his head out wearing an old straw hat, his white face was dusty, and he held a broom in his hand.
Seeing his father coming back, Mu Cheng asked puzzledly, "Father, why are you back? Did you leave something behind?"
"No." Mu Kuan took the broom in his son's hand casually, and said with a smile, "Your aunt's family is here. Cheng'er, hurry up and prepare some tea."
Hearing that the auntie and the others were coming, Mu Cheng looked happy, leaned out half of his body and searched around, only to find a carriage parked under a tree not far away, and uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters were walking towards this side.
Mu Cheng waved his hand, then said "Hey" with excitement on his face, and said to his father, "I'm going to prepare tea."
Mu Cheng turned around and ran into the yard in a hurry.
Wang Zhuangzhi and Liu Zhihua led the children over, and there were some pastries and some red fish brought to their family in the carriage.
Mu Kuan felt a little embarrassed when he saw it, and said, "It's fine if you come, don't spend money to get these things next time."
Liu Zhihua waved his hand, and said with a smile: "It's all from my own home. I'll cook a fish for you later. The fish is very fragrant."
A group of people entered the yard while talking,
The courtyard at the entrance is not big, it looks similar to a brick house in the country, but it is better than clean, and the three square rooms are enough for their family of three.
But at the moment, there are a lot of things piled up at the door of the house, which looks a bit messy.
At this time, Xiuhua with a cloth on her head came out of the house, waved her hands and smiled and shouted: "Sister, brother-in-law, I have cleaned up the back room, you guys come and sit inside."
"You don't need to be busy, and don't make Cheng'er busy, our family is here to help with work."
Liu Zhihua laughed while talking, and led the children into the house.
Xiuhua's heart warmed when she heard that, she waved her hands and said with a smile: "How can I keep you busy, don't look at the piles of things in the yard, Cheng'er and I have already cleaned up the kitchen and the room, and we will move those things in and arrange them later." It's over."
"Hello, Aunt Xiu."
"Hello, Aunt Xiu."
"Hello Aunt Xiu~"
Erya Xiaoli Jiaojiao called out sensiblely.
"Oh, good, all good." Xiuhua smiled.
Mu Kuan rummaged through boxes and chests to find melon seeds for the children. Wang Zhuangzhi stepped forward to stop him, and said with a smile: "They have never lost their snacks on the road, so don't look for them. We will pack up and save our stomachs for lunch later."
Wang Zhuangzhi put the things he brought aside, rolled up his sleeves and went out to help move things.
Mu Kuan hurriedly chased him out and stopped him, "Oh, brother-in-law, don't hold your hand, I'll come."
Wang Zhuangzhi easily picked up a tank, and said with a smile: "It's all a family, why don't you be polite, let them chat with the sisters, the two of us will finish it in a while, after lunch, I will help you with the warehouse in the afternoon."
Mu Kuan is not an inkblot person. Seeing that his brother-in-law is so agile, he is not polite. He smiles and helps to move the rice vat to the kitchen.
Seeing how diligent the two of them are, Liu Zhihua and his younger sister Xiuhua looked at each other and smiled.
Liu Zhihua said: "Okay, let the elders go, let's sit and have a rest, and when they clean up the kitchen, I will cook lunch for them."
"That's a good relationship." Xiuhua smiled, looking at the faces of the children in her sister's house with surprise.
She subconsciously raised her hand to hug Jiaojiao, but after cleaning her body was full of dust, she took off the cloth on her head, and it was covered with a layer of dust during cleaning, so fortunately she rolled it up and threw it in the basin.
She patted the ashes off her body, washed her hands in the copper basin beside her, walked over and stroked Erya Xiaoli's head, and took Jiaojiao from her sister's arms.
"Jiaojiao hasn't seen aunt for a long time, do you think about it?"
"Think~"
Jiaojiao is wearing a white and pink skirt today, with colorful headbands tied on her buns. She is white and glutinous, with **** eyes and a small cherry mouth, very cute and cute.
Xiuhua kissed her fair and tender face, and said with a satisfied smile, "Jiaojiao is so good."
Seeing this, Liu Zhihua hurriedly said: "Jiaojiao is not light now, and you have just recovered, so stop hugging and let the baby stand on its own."
Xiuhua weighs only eighty or ninety catties now. Although her body is better than before, her waist is indeed a little sore from holding the six-year-old baby, so she let her sister carry Jiaojiao to the ground.
Liu Zhihua looked around but did not see Mu Cheng, "Cheng'er, did you go to the kitchen to boil water again? We have water bladders on the road and we are not thirsty. How can a family be so particular."
After finishing speaking, Liu Zhihua attracted Xiao Li to pat his head and said, "Xiao Li, go and call Cousin Cheng back."
Xiao Li couldn't stay in the house, so he rushed out to find his cousin.
"Mom, I'm going out to help too." Erya also ran over.
Jiaojiao saw her elder sister and younger brother leaving, and she was also a little bored. She didn't bring Miaomiao when she went out today, and she also wanted to go outside the yard to see if there was anything she could do to help.
Jiaojiao raised her head and said softly to her mother, "Mother~ I also want to go out to play in the yard."
Liu Zhihua smiled, knowing that Guaibao couldn't stay alone, touched her daughter's head and said: "Go, walk slowly and don't bump into each other."
"Um."
Jiaojiao happily went to find her little brother and sister.
Liu Zhihua took her sister to sit down and asked about the recent situation in the past two days.
Xiuhua said that she picked the best ones, and she didn't want to worry about the others.
Liu Zhihua glanced at the residence upon hearing this, patted the back of her sister's hand, and took out two bank notes from the money bag in her arms.
Xiuhua shook her head quickly when she saw it, "Sister, we have flowers now, and you just gave them so much two days ago. Qiusheng's going to the capital will cost a lot, so you can keep them for yourself."
Liu Zhihua glanced at her sister with a smile, took her hand and stuffed the banknote into her palm, patted it and said: "We still have it, my brother-in-law probably invested all the money in that business, the business on the boat is no different than others, the business at the moment If you have any income at the beginning, you can keep it.”
Xiuhua's heart was warm, her eyes were a little hot, she looked down at the bank note in her palm, and was startled again, "Sister, this is too much."
