Chapter 8

Fourth Aunt Xu quickly explained, "No, mother, it's Third Brother and the others, they... oh, they're doing shameless things!"

"Whatever they do is not a reason for you to be lazy, why don't you go to work for me! Do you want me, an old woman, to come in person?"

Fourth Aunt Xu didn't dare to refute, and immediately responded, "Mother, don't be angry, I'll go right away."

After speaking, he turned around and rushed into the kitchen.

After talking about Aunt Xu, Mrs. Xu walked quickly to Xu Qingmu's side.

She looked suspiciously at the family of three who were busy, and expressed doubts about what Aunt Xu said.

She knew that the old four's family was indeed the same as the old four's, and they were used to cheating and cheating.

She can accept her son's cheating and cheating, but it doesn't mean she can accept her daughter-in-law's cheating and cheating, so her dissatisfaction with Fourth Aunt Xu has increased a bit.

But now is not the time to teach the fourth family a lesson.

She frowned, stared at Xu Qingmu's family of three, and urged them, "Hurry up, I won't give you a meal even if it delays any longer!"

Xu Qingmu: "...don't worry, our family won't take an extra bite from you!"

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and said to Cui Lanhua in a gentle voice: "Don't worry, after I dismantle the girls' beds, I will borrow a scooter to pull them."

Now is the busy time, and the brigade of cattle needs to be used to plow and plow the fields, so he can only borrow a cart to pull things away.

Xu Qingmu moved quickly, and after removing the inner bed, he went out.

When he came back, he pulled a cart over.

Because I couldn't enter the courtyard gate, I put it outside the gate.

Xu Qingmu asked Cui Lanhua and Xu Shuxin to wait outside the door first, while he moved things out one after another.

First the planks, then the boxes and packages.

He was holding wooden boxes and packages in his hands, and just as he stepped out of the courtyard door, there was a "clang" door closing sound behind him.

He paused, but didn't look back.

"Father, let's go home." Xu Shuxin looked at the closed courtyard door and waved to her father with a bright smile on her face.

Xu Qingmu also smiled at her, "Yes, let's go home."

After finishing speaking, he strode towards Cui Lanhua's mother and daughter.

After putting the things in the car, he picked up the little girl and put it on the cart, "Let's go home by car!"

After finishing speaking, he asked Cui Lanhua, "Lanhua, do you want to sit on it too?"

His eyes are gentle and firm.

Cui Lanhua suddenly felt her heart beating fast and her face was hot.

Avoiding his gaze, Cui Lanhua said, "No need, you pull the cart, and I will push it behind."

Xu Qingmu refused, "No, I can still pull this weight."

Cui Lanhua didn't listen to him and insisted on following behind.

Xu Qingmu had no choice but to follow her.

The three of them walked through the village and stopped in front of a somewhat dilapidated house.

"When I went to borrow a car just now, I took the key with the captain, and this will be our home from now on."

Xu Qingmu took out the key and opened the courtyard door.

As soon as you enter the door, you will find a small courtyard, about [-] square meters. Opposite the courtyard door, there are three rooms. On the right side of the room, there is a small kitchen.

Surprisingly, there is a water well at the door of the kitchen.

"There is a well in the yard, so we won't have to carry water to drink from now on." Cui Lanhua looked at the well with some surprise.

The Peace Brigade is a good place surrounded by mountains and rivers. Members have no shortage of water, but they cannot use river water for drinking. They have to go to the well in the middle of the village to fetch water.

No matter how large or small the family is, carrying water is a troublesome job.

Now they live here and have a well, which can save a lot of trouble.

Xu Qingmu removed the threshold of the courtyard gate, and said: "Uncle An and his wife are martyrs, and they have no shortage of money, so they dug this well. Now it is convenient for us."

Speaking of Uncle An, Xu Qingmu was still a little bit embarrassed. The seven sons of the two were sent to the battlefield, and they all died heroically in the end.

After the two old men lost their sons one after another, they lived in seclusion on weekdays, and did not have much contact with the members except for work.

Three years ago, the two passed away one after another, and they had no other descendants, so the house was vacant.

When the later educated youths came, because the original house was full, the team leader wanted to arrange for them to come and live there, but they hated the remoteness of the place, and people died in the house, so they didn't want to come.

The team leader had no choice but to arrange for members of the commune to build two more houses for the educated youth, and the place continued to be vacant.

The members of the separated family do not want to live in it, not because they dislike the bad luck here, but because if they buy it with money, it will cost 60 yuan.

60 yuan can build a new house, and it can be closer to the village.

Xu Qingmu didn't dislike this place, and felt that the 60 yuan was worth it, after all, it was a tile-roofed house.

Most importantly, it's clean here.

He put the wooden planks in his hand in the yard, and asked Cui Lanhua, "I'm thinking of buying this house, what do you think?"

"Buy it?" Cui Lanhua asked.

"Yes, although it's a bit dilapidated, you can live there for a long time after repairing it. There is a well in the courtyard, which is very convenient. The most important thing is that it's clean here. It's just right for our family to live here."

"I thought that we have to pay rent every month anyway, so we might as well buy it directly. Although we also pay a little money every month, it feels different. After buying it, this is our home."

"Our family will make decisions for you in the future." Xu Qingmu added another sentence.

Although his pockets are empty now, Xu Qingmu is very confident about the future.

He believes that as long as he is diligent, he will be able to save enough money to buy a house and give his wife and daughters a home.

Cui Lanhua was moved.

Xu Shuxin looked at his father with bright eyes, "Father, let's buy it. I like this place too, and my sisters must like it too!"

Cui Lanhua nodded, "Okay, then buy it."

At this moment, the confusion in Cui Lanhua's heart disappeared without a trace.

They will also have their own home in the future, and she can finally be the master of the house!
Cui Lanhua found a working broom from the kitchen, first cleaned up the yard, put the things they brought out in the yard, and then found a broken earthen basin, fetched water, and took a piece of The broken rag started tidying up the house.

Because of the motivation, she is full of energy.

"Housekeeper, you should go and return the cart first, then go to work, and tell Erya and the others by the way, we have moved, so don't go to the wrong door."

He also told Xu Shuxin, "Qiya, don't be idle, come and work with me."

Speaking of this, Cui Lanhua seemed to have been pressed the pause button.

She just remembered that her little girl doesn't seem to be stupid anymore? ! ! !
"Qiya, you, are you no, no, are you awake?"

Just as Xu Shuxin was about to nod, she remembered how she was crying before, and smiled at her, "Mom, I'm awake, I'm not stupid anymore."

"The head of the family, Qi Ya is not stupid anymore, and our daughter is not stupid anymore!" Cui Lanhua was very excited.
