The little cook in the book has fallen asleep

Old Mrs. Cheng has been very busy these days. She takes Cheng Lixiao to the county town almost every day.

There is a reason why she is so busy. The Cheng family is moving to a new house!

Old Mrs. Cheng was busy running around just to buy some necessary furniture and valuables for her home.

The furniture had actually already been customized from Jiang Ling, so now all we had to do was go to the county town and move them back.

But purchasing those valuables really gave Mrs. Cheng a headache.

Life is getting better and better now, and Grandma Cheng is no longer as tight on money as before. The nine grandchildren have grown up and need to sleep in separate rooms. Fortunately, there are enough rooms now, and she can't let them down.

So Old Lady Cheng made a new bed for each of the Cheng family boys, and Cheng Yu's bed was also prepared early.

As a result, the nine of them had to get some new cotton wool and quilts, so Old Mrs. Cheng went to the county town early to order them.

Fortunately, after they bought the items, they had the merchant deliver them directly to their new house, which was some distance from the village. Otherwise, someone would be eyeing their house again.

However, for the sheets and quilt covers, Cheng Yu took out a pile of cloth from the space, and then Mrs. Cheng and her two daughters-in-law worked together to cut and sew a lot of them themselves.

After several months of careful preparation, each room had at least two sets of sheets and quilt covers available for replacement.

Lord Zheng is also a man of his words. After he negotiated the price of potatoes and corn with Cheng Yu, he got the emperor's approval.

The royal guards were immediately arranged to come to the Cheng family in official uniforms and transport the seeds back to the capital. Not only that, even the county constables were borrowed to help.

The corn of the Cheng family in Qingshan Village can be eaten as food. Before many people could react, they heard that the seeds were donated to the imperial court by the Cheng family for free!

This incident quickly spread throughout the entire Western Province. Some people laughed at the Cheng family for being stupid for giving corn seeds to the court for free; but some people praised them for their righteous act.

Although outsiders have mixed opinions about the Cheng family, it does not affect the Cheng family's joy in moving into the new house.

On the second day after arriving in Bai Ze County, Lord Zheng went to Qingtian Village and saw Old Mrs. Zhao crying. He was as old as Cheng Xiaowu when his second sister disappeared, so he naturally had some impression of her.

Moreover, his eldest sister was already married at that time, and it was his second sister who stayed with him all the time and taught him how to recite and write. Therefore, even after more than 40 years, he still remembers it clearly.

"Second sister, when will you come home?" Lord Zheng asked with some sadness. His mother had been waiting for this day for nearly forty years.

"I will take my grandchildren back to see their mother when they go to Beijing to take the imperial examination!" Cheng Yiyu had already gone to the provincial capital to take the provincial examination, but General Yuan was injured and he only came back in the past two days.

"Okay, then I'll leave Rongrong to accompany you. I'll go back after I finish my work!" Lord Zheng looked at his second sister. Although she was not as pampered as she was in the capital, it was obvious that she was living a good life.

"What does Rong'er think?" Mrs. Zhao did not respond directly, but asked Zheng Rong who was standing beside her.

"Then I'll go back with my aunt!" Zheng Rong's heart had long been wild. Now that she was given a chance not to return to the capital, she must seize it.

Lord Zheng looked at his second sister, his brother-in-law who was gentle and considerate, his children and grandchildren who were filial, and his fair skin, and knew that she had never suffered any hardship.

"Okay! By the way, Yunniang, aren't you going to move to a new house? How do you still have time to come over?" Old Mrs. Zhao was naturally happy to see that her daughter's life was getting better and better, and she asked with a smile.

"My mother-in-law asked me to accompany my uncle back, and by the way, she asked me to invite you and my eldest sister-in-law to have a drink at her parents' home! Help us warm the house." Zhao Yun's mother pulled Cheng Yu and wouldn't let her go out. It was sunny, and this damn girl actually wanted to see the sweet potatoes and peppers at her uncle's house!

"Aunt, please give my sister to me, I will take her to see her!" Zhao Fan took his sister and carried her out of the main room.

"These children are well raised!" Lord Zheng said with a smile as he looked at his two grandsons who were a little tanned.

"They just took part in the college entrance examination, and look! Their grandfather let them have fun for a few days and forced them to work in the fields every day! They got all tanned!" Old Mrs. Zhao said with a smile. Her grandson and granddaughter are both pretty good.

The third day of August is a good day to move into a new house, move into a new home, or get married.

"Oh, old sisters, you are here? Why are you carrying things?" Old Mrs. Cheng was delighted when she saw Old Mrs. Zhao and Old Mrs. Li carrying rice and flour tied with red thread.

"Oh, what is this?" Seeing the two Zhao Ye brothers carrying a large bundle of sugarcane, they were even more delighted.

"Congratulations on moving into a new home. I wish the Cheng family will be better and better every year!" the two brothers said at the same time.

Zhao Hua slapped them both and said, "Let's talk about it later when we get to the new house."

Old Mrs. Li was also carrying a new bucket tied with red cloth, and following the Cheng family with a smile on her face.

The young men of the Li family followed old lady Li holding incense and candles.

"Come on, come on, don't miss the time, everyone come in quickly!" Grandpa Cheng invited everyone to go into the old house. He distributed some things to each person and asked them to carry them on their backs during the ceremony. They could come back to move other things after the ceremony was over.

The new house built by the Cheng family this time is quite big, and the blue bricks and white tiles used are also very nice. There is a well in the yard. The yard is very wide. There is a big tree in the front of the yard, and a pavilion is built under the tree.

To the left of the big tree is the kitchen, to the right is the bathroom, and there are six rooms in the main house at the back. One is for the old lady and her family, and the rest are for the big wife. To the left is the second wife's family, and to the right is the third wife's family. Both have five rooms, just enough for one person, and one is reserved as a guest room.

At this time, the Cheng family was having a lively housewarming ceremony in the house:

"Congratulations to the Cheng family, we've moved to a new home!

Move a piece of glory, may our wishes come true, may our wishes be fulfilled; move a piece of good luck, may our happiness continue, better year by year; move a piece of health, may our health be good, and may we be safe and sound every year. "Grandpa Cheng took the lead and led his three sons into the new house, carrying pots and pans.

"We have brought in precious things. May our days be long and peaceful, with peace of mind and happiness for the whole family!" Old Mrs. Cheng and her three daughters-in-law walked in, holding new pillows, quilt covers and sheets.

"Bring in the firewood, may our days be prosperous and our wealth overflow!" Cheng Lixiao and his brothers and sisters walked in, each holding a piece of firewood.

……

"As the sugarcanes come in, they grow taller and taller, and get stronger year by year!" Zhao Fan and Zhao Ye walked in holding a bundle of sugarcane.

After the ceremony, Old Lady Cheng asked Tian Xiaocao and other helpers to cook a big pot of dumplings and distribute them to those who came to congratulate and help, symbolizing a happy life.

Then the kitchen started to move. Cheng Yu got half a pig and some rice, flour, grain and oil from the space, which had been carried in by everyone during the ceremony.

There were three big pots cooking busily. Cheng Cuihua and Jiang Wuyou sat on one side to help pick vegetables while chatting with the villagers.

"Hey, Cuihua, do you still remember the second grandson's wife of your eldest brother?" said an old lady who loved gossip.

"Qian Xiuer?" Jiang Wuyou asked, mainly because she had a very deep impression of him.

She did not go to her grandfather's house with her mother for a drink that day, but she heard people in the village say that Qian Xiuer broke off the engagement on the spot and was taken back to her grandfather's house after making a humiliating scene.

"Yes, wasn't your aunt's family sentenced to exile? Qian Xiu'er ran away. Liu Hua didn't want to be opposed at first, but your grandfather stepped in to settle it! Now Qian Xiu'er has been sold by the Qian family to Dahuangshan Village to be the wife of two brothers!" The aunt said gloatingly.

"It's a good thing that your brother Xiao didn't marry her, because she would be a restless troublemaker!" Tian Xiaocao also echoed from the side. The unfaithful woman wanted to serve two husbands before marriage, and now her wish has come true.

The men of the Cheng family took the men who helped them back to the old house to move the beds, remaining furniture, and some sundries.

"No! I don't want to live in the same room with you. Don't take my house!" Xiao Ou followed Cheng Xiaoba and protested in various ways!

"Myna, let it live with me, otherwise you won't be able to sleep at night!" Cheng Yu helplessly looked at the man and the bird in front of him. When they loved each other, they really loved each other, and when they pinched each other, they really pinched each other!

Look, Cheng Xiaoba's hand was bitten blue by Xiao Ou, and Xiao Ou's hair was pulled out in two strands by Cheng Xiaoba, with a little blood on it.

"Okay! Damn bird, no more friendship!" Cheng Xiaoba put down the bird stand, picked up his things and walked away angrily.

"Sister, good things happen today!" Xiao Ou stood on Cheng Yu's shoulder and couldn't help but say as he watched Cheng Yu messing with its nest and its shelf.

"Moving is indeed a good thing. From now on I will live in a room by myself. I'm happy!" When Cheng Yu heard that they were going to move, he persuaded Zhao Yun's mother for a week before she agreed to let Cheng Yu live by himself for a while.

Now Cheng Yu was looking at the 1.8-meter-high bed in front of her and the quilt cover that she had sewn for her with all her ingenuity, and she couldn't tell you how satisfied she was.

Old Mrs. Cheng specially asked the mason to build her the largest room. At this time, there were two rattan chairs made by Old Man Cheng for her beside the bed, and her uncle (Jiang Ling) made two bedside tables for her.

Her grandmother custom-made a large wardrobe for her, and her small wardrobe was also moved in. Both the big and small wardrobes were filled to the brim. This was all the love her mother, aunt, and cousin showed her!

Zheng Rong was really reluctant to go back to the capital, so she was still living in the guest room of the second house. She was very curious. Why didn’t her grandfather, who usually ran to the Cheng family at dawn, show up on this happy day?

When she was about to go out to see what was going on, she heard the sound of gongs and drums coming from the official road. Was someone getting married?

No, the sound seems to be coming this way?

She curiously followed Xiaoqi, Xiaoba and Cheng Yu out to watch the fun.

Wait! Isn't the one walking in front the grandfather who disappeared early this morning? He even wore his official uniform today!

"Uncle..." Zhao Yunniang wanted to invite Lord Zheng to come in and sit down, but her own mother pulled her sleeve.

If he came to congratulate on the new house as an uncle, he would definitely wear casual clothes. But he came in official clothes, so I'm afraid there is something wrong.

And seeing Lord Zheng smiling happily is a good thing!
