Age: My Small World

Chapter 175 New House
"Mom, our house looks spacious now."

Yang Yumei stood in front of the house with some excitement in her eyes.

The layout of the new house is one on the left and one on the right, with the main hall in the middle, and it looks more than twice as wide.

In addition, Yang Jun also fenced off the yard, giving it the feeling of a small courtyard in the countryside.

"After spending so much money, how can it not be spacious?" My mother was happy when she saw the new house, but she felt more distressed because it was all bought with money.

I originally planned to spend around fifty or sixty dollars, but ended up spending more than seventy dollars.

The extra money was used on the main hall mentioned by Yang Jun, and some was used to modify the roof of the old house.

At first, I didn’t want to build a main hall, so I just wanted to keep the original front room.

But that was already planned by Yang Jun as my mother's room, and I couldn't let her stay in front of the kang all the time.

Everyone tacitly agreed that the new house was his, and he had no way of refusing. He could only try his best to rearrange the two rooms in front and back.

The back room is for my eldest and second sisters to live in. It is actually quite spacious. After all, my eldest sister only comes home on weekends, and my second sister is alone there on weekdays.

The front room where my mother lives is more spacious, and the kang is big enough for three people to sleep.

Just prepare more firewood, otherwise it will be difficult to heat up the three kangs.

The kangs in the front and back rooms are connected, so Yang Jun has to burn a separate fire, which doubles the firewood expenses.

"Mom, let's make lunch for everyone first."

Yang Jun sent away the neighbors who came to watch the fun, and then spoke.

Today's lunch should be the last meal. Yang Jun can easily handle the remaining chores and does not need help from others.

"Okay, aunt, come and help me."

"Here comes sister-in-law."

"Let me come too." Fan Ping and her family were also there.

Cheng Xiaoyu has been much quieter these days. She tries not to disturb Yang Jun while he is working, and just helps silently.

Yang Jun smiled at her, but didn't show much concern. A tacit understanding formed between the two of them.

Because it was the last meal, he secretly made some tofu and bought some sweet potato noodles. Today's lunch was vermicelli boiled with tofu and pickles. There was no meat, only a hint of soybean oil flavor left.

Despite this, the meal was still very appetizing.

Who doesn’t drink sweet potato porridge now? Not to mention sweet potato stewed with tofu. Even porridge can’t be cooked this thick, so it’s naturally difficult to eat.

The amount prepared is large enough, so there is no need to worry about not having enough to eat.

After the meal, the Yu couple happily carried a few kilograms of food back home.

As for his uncle and aunt-in-law, Yang Jun wanted to ask them to take some things back, but they both refused.

Especially his aunt, she almost spanked him, saying that he treated himself as an outsider.

"Mom, can I go home in two days?"

Li Weimin was reluctant to leave. He had been playing at Yang Jun's house all this time. He had become very close to his cousin. He was mainly thinking about the crispy candies that his cousin often brought out. They were really sweet.
"No, don't think I don't know what you are planning."

Yang Qingping knew that he had been able to eat candy these days because he was spoiled by Yang Jun, but he would not be able to do so in the future.

"Brother, please help me say something to mom."

Yang Jun shrugged: "There's nothing I can do about it. I have to listen to my mother."

Li Xiaohua grinned when she heard that.

The second sister rolled her eyes. She knew that her younger brother was becoming more and more independent-minded, and everyone in the family had to listen to him. Even their mother still followed his orders.

Then he added, "But, Auntie, if Weimin wants to stay here for a few more days, then let him stay. After all, this is his uncle's house, so it's like his own home."

Li Yancai felt happy and guilty after hearing this, because his uncle's words were not very effective at home.

Yang Qingping hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded in agreement.

"Okay, Xiaoshan, keep an eye on him. If he gets too noisy, spank him."

"Mom, I won't make my brother angry." Li Weimin was very happy. After his aunt and uncle went back, Yang Jun stuffed a candy into Li Weimin's pocket and let him play with it by himself. This kid was really thinking about his candy.

"The next step is to move things."

"Why don't we wait until your sister comes back before moving?" Li Xiaohua said.

My eldest sister helped at home for two days and then had to go back to the factory.

Now it's time for her to rest.

"No need to wait, there's not much stuff, just move it around."

After more than ten days, the lime and clay have not dried up yet, but it does not affect people living in it. You just need to light a fire and bake it.

It is best to burn the fire channel of the kang to remove moisture.

Generally speaking, a new house needs to be heated by fire for a day or two before it can be occupied.

But Yang Jun thought that since his eldest sister was back, it would be a good opportunity to give everyone a room so that his mother and his eldest and second sisters wouldn't always have to squeeze together.

He didn't have much stuff, so he moved to the new house quickly.

After a while, the new house began to take shape.

The main thing is to move the original desk here and put his textbooks and other things on it, so that it can have a more scholarly feel.

In addition to a door on the side connecting to the side house, the new house also has a separate door in the front and an enlarged window, which makes it very bright.

The windows are covered with plastic sheets and newspapers, which also keeps the heat in.

The room is about twenty square meters, which doesn't seem too big, but it's more than enough.

The kang is newly built and needs to be heated all day today.

Once the anger flared up, the room became stuffy and hot, and opening the windows for ventilation was of no use.

Fortunately, everyone can sit in the main room now.

Stools, tables, cabinets and so on were all moved here, and the stove was the same.

The ground is paved with relatively flat stone slabs, which feels like floor tiles when you step on them.

When Yang Hongmei returned home, the whole house had changed a lot and looked brand new.

"I almost thought this wasn't my home anymore."

It was rare for the elder sister to make a joke.
"Then you have to make sure, sister, so you don't go the wrong way next time." The second sister said happily.

She pulled her eldest sister to the back room and said, "Look, sister, this will be our room from now on."

"Well, I just happened to bring back some new pillowcases. Yumei, you can change them."

The eldest sister took out the things she brought, which were a few pillowcases with red wedding characters on them. They looked very festive. The eldest sister was really thoughtful.

Seeing this, Yang Jun couldn't help but ask, "Sister, how is Yu Liang doing at the factory? Does he still come to see you often?"

He hadn't been to the steel plant for a while, and he didn't know if Yan Wu would be angry.

But there is nothing on Mr. Hu's side.

Li Xiaohua listened to a few more sentences and her expression suddenly changed slightly.

"Wow, what do you mean? Who is this Yu He?"

The eldest sister looked a little overwhelmed, obviously not expecting Yang Jun to suddenly mention Yu Liang.

Facing my mother's scrutinizing gaze, I couldn't utter a word.

After a while, he said, "Mom, it's nothing. I behave myself well in the factory."

Li Xiaohua breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she didn't dodge.

But after thinking about it, she sighed and said, "Big girl, you are not young anymore. You should think about it."
