Chapter 22 Sleeping Separately

"It's delicious. Brother, please try it." Jiang Qing handed the bun in his hand to Jiang Ye.

Before he handed it over, Jiang Ye jumped away.

"Eat it quickly, don't waste it, or I'll tell mom."

"And don't touch what I left for mom, eat something else."

After saying that, she broke a bun with thin skin and large filling into two halves in front of him. The filling in the middle was even oozing with juice, which looked very tempting.

The good-looking ones should be given to mom, and you can eat the uglier ones yourself.

Jiang Qing looked at the thick-skinned bun in his hand. It was the one he had made yesterday. Yesterday he only ate the ones his mother made.

This has been left until today. I looked at my brother with grievance. He also wanted to eat the buns made by my mother.

I took a bite of the thick dough. It was fragrant but I couldn’t taste the filling. Even the skin didn’t feel as fragrant as the ones my mom made.

"Oh, I see. I see."

In the afternoon, the whole family started the spring cleaning mode again, and also put on new quilt covers and beds.

I also cleaned the house. I had already cleaned the first floor, and now it was the second floor's turn.

As for the third floor, which is still an unfinished house, you can just ignore it.

"Throw it away, we don't need it anymore." Su Mian cleaned his house thoroughly once again.

Everything has been cleaned up and it will be comfortable to live in from now on. After I cleaned up my own room, I came over to see how they were doing.

Looking at the old bed sheets they had packed out, which had several big holes in them and were covered with patches, I couldn't help but tell them where they went.

"The old must go before the new can come, and this one is too worn out, otherwise I could keep it for future use."

"I'll buy some quilts in the winter and throw these away."

Jiang Ye was still making the bed, and he looked back after listening. "Well, we just didn't have time to throw it away."

"Mom, don't move. We will throw it away later. Don't get it dirty." They brought this quilt back just because they didn't want to trouble Dad.

The only things that could be left in that room were the unimportant things that could not be taken away.

They chose to bring it back, fearing that they would be disliked for wasting money.

As for now, they have a mother, and what mother said is right: the old must go before the new can come, so let’s just throw away all the bad things from the past.

Jiang Qing reacted even faster. He dragged in a tattered snakeskin bag and started putting things in it.

"Brother, I will give you a bath tonight. Wash it clean and don't dirty my quilt." He said this with disgust.

Because now the two of them live in Jiang Qing's house, which is opposite this house.

There is a staircase leading up to the second floor from the kitchen. The layout of the second floor is that the left side of the staircase is divided into two rooms, one for each brother.

Su Mian's master bedroom is on the right side, occupying more than half of the entire large house, with an independent bathroom. However, at present, there is only a toilet in such a large bathroom, and the rest is empty.

Because there is no water heater, I can't always fetch water to wash myself, which is very tiring.

Jiang Ye patted the quilt he had just made, not knowing which heartless person said he was scared.

He had been letting me accompany him all this time, but now he was disgusted. "Okay, let me rub the mud off your body."

"You sleep alone at night. I'm going to sleep in my room." He glanced at Jiang Qing quietly.

Thinking about the possibility of this happening, you shouldn't be scared anymore, right? You don't have to worry about what will happen at night.

Before, I was mainly afraid that the woman would go crazy and come to Jiang Qing at night. It happened once, so Jiang Qing was scared, and I was also afraid that something would happen to him, so I stayed with him all the time.

"You go to sleep by yourself tonight. You are seven years old, don't you, Mom?"

This is really a big deal. Su Mian nodded helplessly, very tactful.

"Be good, little one. Now that we have grown up, we should sleep separately."

"This is the only way to grow into a man. You are already seven years old, and your brother is nine."

"You are all grown-up kids now." He said this and subconsciously touched Jiang Qing's little head.

"Besides, our family only allows you to sleep separately because we have the rooms and conditions. Other families don't have this condition."

He said this with a bit of pride. This three-story Western-style building is the only one in the village, and the decoration is relatively good.

The walls of the first floor are all tiled, which is much better than painted ones. This is also thanks to Jiang Zhe having some money to build this house.

Otherwise, the conditions would not exist. There are still many mud houses and a few brick houses in the village. They are not only small in size but also not tall.

Jiang Qing turned his eyes to look at them. In fact, he didn't say he was unwilling, and he was not afraid now.

But my mother's hands are really soft and warm. "Okay, I'll sleep by myself then."

"Brother, please help me clean it tonight." Looking at her sweet and soft quilt, she knew she couldn't get it dirty.

Jiang Ye was very pleased that he agreed quickly.

Su Mian held back her laughter as she watched them muttering about sleeping at night, and followed them into the room.

It is considered quite large, with a 1.8-meter bed and a wardrobe next to it, but there is still a lot of free space.

Not to mention my own room. I'll try to get them a desk in the village when the time comes so that it will be convenient for them to read and do homework.

I don’t see what else I need for the time being, except that I need a set of curtains.

Nodding and looking silently...
