Chapter 331 I finally have my own home
After burning the kang and the fire wall day and night for seven consecutive days, the Jiu clan's house was finally completely dry.
When they woke up in the morning, they were all full of energy, not for anything else, but because today was the day they would move into their new home.
Grandpa Shen's face was flushed, and his wrinkled face showed the vigor and vigor of his youth. He looked at Shen Zhiqiu with burning eyes: "Little Third Son, announce it!"
Shen Zhiqiu laughed and nodded. It was just a move, but why did it have to be so grand? Now everyone in the Nine Clans treated her like her daughter and demanded a sense of ceremony for everything they did!
"I declare that it is time to move. Each household will move into the new homes according to the houses they were previously allocated."
After thinking about it, he added: "We won't work today. We'll go to the nets to catch fish at noon. We'll have a good meal tonight. We'll also go to the village to buy some red dates and steamed white flour dry food.
Put two red dates in it, steam them to make them bigger and whiter, put red dots on them and give two to every household, so that everyone in Tangjia Village can share in our joy.
Also, before going to bed today, I must clean up after myself. I am covered in dust from moving.
We should wash up on the first day anyway, and sleep comfortably in our new home. Remember to use Uncle Guo's lice medicine, so as not to get lice again and infect others. Okay, let's get started."
A group of old men all breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, finally, they had a new home again.
Unlike before, this is no longer a borrowed house from someone else, but a new home that truly belongs to them.
This group of people no longer live in confusion and can live a stable life.
Moreover, after settling down, everyone can work hard with Shen Zhiqiu. They want to make money and live a good life, better than when they were in their hometown.
"Moving!"
Shen Youyou cheered with her sister, brother, younger brother and younger sister. They didn't set up the stall today, but several of her brothers still delivered some jelly.
Only on the day when my grandfather's cenotaph was erected, no jelly and steamed cake were sent.
Shen Luming's face flushed with undisguised joy, and she held Li Jingshu's clothes tightly, "Mom, what are you taking? Lulu will help you carry it."
Before he could finish, Li Jingshu, who was originally very happy, couldn't help but bent down and slapped her son on the face, making Shen Luming's face even redder.
"Oh, it's so embarrassing. Her mother, her sister, and her father all like him too much. They kiss him all the time."
Li Jingshu was also really happy. Finally, she didn't have to sleep with so many people anymore. There was no private space at all, and it was inconvenient to do anything.
After all, one must have his own home at all times. No matter whether sitting, lying, or lying down, one must feel comfortable on the kang in his own home.
This is why when we talk about visiting relatives, even if they are very close relatives, you will never lie down if you can sit.
There is no place like home,
This is the kind of relaxation you can only have at home. No one can control you. You can do whatever you want. Even the air is free.
Li Jingshu is not the only one who thinks this way. It can be said that most people have the same idea: "Finally, the days of not being one family and not being two families have ended. Finally, we no longer have no sense of belonging. Finally, we have real stability."
In this morning filled with laughter and joy, nearly three hundred people were busy.
Shen Youyou and his family's house is in the middle. This is what everyone meant, so that it will be convenient for anyone to find Shen Zhiqiu later.
There are four groups of houses in this row. The five rooms on the east side of the first group are allocated to Mr. Shen, followed by Shen Zhiqiu and his family. The group on the west is for Old Man Shen and his family, and the westernmost group is for Shen Changqing's family.
So, Old Lady Hua and Cui Fen'er became neighbors again, but this time there was no wall between them. They could see each other as soon as they went out because their walls were a whole.
But then again, Grandma Hua and Cui Fen'er haven't had an argument for a long time, so it's a little unusual for everyone to see that they have a good relationship.
Among the five houses of Shen Zhiqiu and his family, the westernmost one has two compartments, one for Shen Luming and one for Shen Youyou.
The second room is the living room. Shen Zhiqiu and Li Jingshu sleep in the middle. The fourth room is the kitchen and bathroom. It could have been used as a bedroom, but there are few people in their family, so it was made into a bathroom, a "pot bath".
The design of Shen Youyou's house is a four-room partition, which is further divided into two small rooms. The small room on the west side of the opening is built as a stove, on which is placed a large iron pot that is much thicker than the usual one used for cooking.
The small room near the east also has a similar stove, but it is connected to the one opposite, and a large iron pot is also placed on it. However, neither of these two stoves has firewood added.
The stove is outside the partition. If someone is taking a bath in these two rooms and the water temperature is not high enough, they can ask people outside the partition to add more fire. After all, the room outside the partition is used as a kitchen and there is another stove.
However, making this kind of bath pot is very labor-intensive, because it needs to be much thicker than an ordinary iron pot, and the diameter is four feet.
It’s not about the money, but because Tietou is the only one who can make an iron pot, so for the time being only a few families have installed it.
Generally, every group of houses has a spare room to make this kind of stove table. Even in houses with a large population, they add a partition in the middle room to make this kind of pot bath.
The pot is not yet fully in place.
And when taking a bath, you don't just sit in the pot to take a bath. After all, the round iron pot is not easy to make, and it may be too hot. At this time, you need to use something called "turtle board".
This wooden board is round and placed at the bottom of the pot. When taking a bath, you sit on this wooden board to separate yourself from the bottom of the pot and prevent yourself from being burned by the hot bottom of the pot.
The two compartments on the east side, one is occupied by Li Quan, and the other two are occupied by Dahu and Erhu.
However, since everyone has their own home, the big iron pot and the pot on the stove at home are not provided by the government.
Shen Zhiqiu had told everyone before that his family paid for the pig iron and asked Shen Tietou to make it, so every household installed one, and some installed two like Shen Zhiqiu's family.
It should be said that only Shen Zhiqiu's family, Old Lady Hua's family, Gao Liehu's family, and Mr. Shen's family had two pot baths of this kind.
The layout of Grandma Hua's house is the same as Shen Zhiqiu's, but the first room on the west side is for Shen Zhidong and his wife, and the first and second girls are for each other.
The second room is also a living room. In the middle are Old Lady Hua and Old Man Shen. The fourth room is the same as Shen Zhiqiu and his family. At the easternmost end are Shen Zhichun and his wife, one room each, and Dabao and Erbao have another room each.
Although many young men in the Nine Clans are almost old enough to get married, this is the way to go for now. They will make other plans when they build brick and tile houses in the future.
Every household was busy tidying up their rooms, and there were signs of jubilation on the west side of the river.
There are also a few families who have vacant houses because of their small population, and boys or girls from other families move in.
But no one asked, "I want to sleep in this room, it's spacious," or "I want to sleep in this room, it has sunlight," etc.
Instead, they were coming in and out, chatting happily, which seemed particularly harmonious, and the entire collective compound was very lively.
