Households relocated in the 1990s

Chapter 94 Moving
Shi Youqin stroked the bunk bed, which had lost its paint to reveal its original color and had become darker over the years, almost losing its original appearance. She missed it very much.

"That was part of the dowry your grandmother gave me when she married me." An Shunhe said softly to the children:

"Your grandmother's family wasn't rich either."

"But her father loves his children."

"Trees were planted when their brothers and sisters were born."

“No matter how difficult the family life was, we never moved.”

"When the children reach marriageable age, we cut down the tree, and then we look for a suitable family and prepare the furniture for the dowry."

"When I married your grandmother, our family was very poor. Apart from the furniture your grandmother brought as a dowry, we had nothing else in the house."

"Even for a long time afterwards, there were only those furniture in the house."

"Later, life got better and better, and we had more and more things at home."

"But your grandmother's dowry is getting less and less."

"Now, all that's left is this bed."

And this time, the last bed has to be thrown away.

"Or... let Dad and the others send this bed to the reservoir?" An Songyu secretly pushed An Songlin and asked softly.

An Songlin hesitated slightly.

It’s not that it’s troublesome to move an old bed.

But this old bed has been used for a long time, and I don’t know if it can be disassembled completely.

Fortunately, Anshunhe and the other two were very reasonable.

Although I felt particularly sad in my heart, I did not force it.

Soon, with the help of An Songyu and his siblings, their luggage was packed.

The two people's luggage was divided into three parts.

Some of them were sent to a good place, and they would have to live with their three sons for quite some time.

Some of them will be taken with them later and will stay at An Songyu's house temporarily.

But these two parts of luggage only accounted for a small part of their total belongings.

Most of the luggage actually consisted of old things that the two elders had been reluctant to throw away or sell.

An Songyu was holding a glass bottle that he had found in the utility room. The cork on it had rotted away.

But it was tidied very well.

She asked curiously, "Grandpa, Grandma, how old is this glass bottle?"

"Why are you still cleaning up?"

Shi Youqin looked back and couldn't help laughing when she saw the thing: "Hey, this thing is still here!"

"This thing?" The two sisters were confused. Isn't this just an ordinary glass bottle?

"Of course you won't think this thing is rare now." Shi Youqin took the bottle and looked at her husband, as if time had gone back to when she was still a girl.

An Jianguo came over, pulling his hair, and just saw what his mother was holding. He said directly:

"Isn't that the bottle of salt water my mother used to cover my feet when I was little?"

"Salt water bottle?"

"Yes, it's the kind of bottle used for infusion in hospitals." After An Jianguo explained this, An Songyu also had an impression of it.

She just didn't think about it that way.

But why would grandpa and grandma keep a bottle like this?
"That was after I got married. Your grandfather saw that my feet were cold in the winter, so he brought it back for me."

"This thing used to be extremely rare."

"So everyone from me to the youngest one is still using it!" An Jianguo also laughed.

This salt water bottle can really be considered a family heirloom.

But this time when moving, it seems that there is really no need to bring it with me.

Seeing Shi Youqin put it among the things she was going to throw away with regret, An Songyu thought about it and picked it up again.

The others who were packing up looked at her.

An Songyu smiled and said, "Grandpa and grandma, I'll take it back and put it in my brother's room and arrange it with flowers for you."

"That's great!" Shi Youqin's eyes lit up and she said happily, "There's no need to buy flowers."

"I just saw some old sweaters. If I unravel the yarn, I can crochet them into flowers."

An Songyu was slightly stunned and was about to stop Shi Youqin's actions.

She saw that she had already taken back some of the things she was about to throw away. An Songyu put down her hand helplessly.

She guessed that she really wanted to make woolen flowers.

But it is true that I can’t bear to part with these old things that are full of memories.

This time, they are moving away not only the traces of their growth for most of their lives.

And my hometown is about to disappear.

Thinking of this, An Songyu couldn't bear to continue refusing the two old people.

By the afternoon, the first truck to move to the good land left.

The furniture that was pulled in was to be placed in a rental house in a good location.

This is almost a selection of the best.

But after several families combined, there were still a lot of good furniture left.

After all, it's just a rental house with limited rooms and limited furniture needed.

But not all furniture that cannot be removed will be disposed of.

Seeing this situation of the two elderly people.

After the brothers discussed it seriously.

Some still-new furniture and old items that people really couldn't bear to throw away were taken to the reservoir.

The original foundation on the reservoir side was not narrow.

The reservoir covers an area of ​​800 acres, and usually there is not one person living there to manage it.

In addition, I would occasionally invite friends to go fishing together.

Not only does the house occupy a large area, but it is also surrounded by vegetable fields and fruit trees!

Even drinking water is spring water brought down from the mountains.

An Jianping took into consideration the large size of their family.

The area near the reservoir is large, and if we live there together occasionally, we'll need a larger area.

So when building the house, we hired a lot of workers to work together.

Single-story brick and tile houses are built extremely quickly.

The tiles used on the roof are not traditional tiles, but asbestos tiles that are often used to build sheds in the village.

Nowadays, the house is not only built, but also almost ready to dry.

The car heading to the reservoir set off even faster.

An Songyu has seen several families stuffing things into the gaps in the car more than once.

As the saying goes, a broken home is worth a thousand dollars.

When it comes to living at home, it’s not a question of how much money you have.

But the things are complete enough and easy to use.

An Songyu understood this mentality and didn't say much.

Anyway, as time goes by, you will slowly get used to the new changes.

At that time, it doesn't matter whether they are living in the rental house or moving to the new house.

There are always new habits being formed.

When you look back at these things that you can’t bear to part with, they may no longer be important.

Wait until most of the things in the house have been moved.

An Songyu and his group got on the bus with their last piece of luggage.

Many people in Jiangcun rushed over after hearing the news.

Looking at the old furniture that had been taken away by the car, and the completely empty yard and house.

Everyone's mood was a little complicated.

"What's with everyone's expressions? It's not like we're not going back to the village!" An Jianguo couldn't help but say as he looked at everyone's expressions.

Not to mention anything else, the third brother’s silkworm house hasn’t been moved yet!

Today they will go back to the rental house to pack up.

I have to go back to the village to move the silkworm house tomorrow.
