This time, Zhou Dajiang's family built ten rooms and two wing rooms in the east and west.

The family of three had divided the house early on. The master bedroom was left to Zhou Dajiang and Chen Xiuying, their daughter had a boudoir, and Ang'er had a room. No matter how long he lived here, he was a child they rescued after all, so he had to have a room in the house.

At the same time, a room was reserved for Zhou's mother, father-in-law and mother-in-law. As the elderly get older, they can live with whichever child they like, so the necessary rooms must be available.

The rest had a living room, two guest rooms, and two study rooms. Zhou Dajiang and Master Chen used one room, and his daughter, Anger, Chen Xiuying, and Chen's mother used one room.

There are two rooms in the east wing, used as a storehouse and warehouse respectively; the two rooms in the west wing are also used as kitchens.

Zhou Dajiang told Wu Chunsheng about the general layout of the room. The construction team was responsible for digging the kang hole, bed frame, bookshelf, cabinets, stove and table top.

At Zhou Dajiang's request, as Zhou Dajiang built more houses, Wu Chunsheng agreed to let the carpenter make him a bathtub and several toilets with lids.

The rest of the soft furnishings, including wallpaper, window paper, curtains, door curtains, bedding and pillows, all need to be prepared by Chen Xiuying herself.

Because Zhou Dajiang had to take care of the factory, Chen Xiuying had to take care of everything herself. She was so busy that she was constantly out shopping. Seeing how busy she was, Zhou's mother took over the cooking duties. She led Zhang and Li to cook for everyone every day. It didn't matter whether the food was good or not, as long as they were full.

Mother Chen helped Chen Xiuying with the chores, pasting windows and walls, buying cloth and cotton, making curtains, door curtains, bedding, sheets, quilt covers, pillows, pillowcases, pillowcases, etc. The mother and daughter were so busy that they wished they had eight hands working together. Mother Zhou and her two daughters-in-law would also help them sew in their spare time between meals.

As for Lou Ji and the others, since Lou Ji agreed to be the children's martial arts master, he no longer served as secret guards, but chose to appear in front of everyone.

In the morning, after Lou Ji finished teaching the children martial arts, he stayed by the young master's side. No matter where Ang'er went, he followed him.

After Zhong Yinze went from being in the dark to being in the open, he always followed Chen Xiuying. Whenever Chen Xiuying went out to buy something, he would follow behind and help carry things. Sometimes when Chen Xiuying couldn't leave and needed someone to go out to purchase something, he would also help run errands.

Ye Wei's back injury is no longer serious, but after all, he had lost too much blood before, so Chen Xiuying did not allow him to do heavy work and just asked him to take good care of Xu Wu.

Xu Wu's injuries were the most serious. With a broken arm and internal injuries, he wouldn't be fully recovered for at least three months. Doctor Qian ordered him to stay in bed, and even if he did, he couldn't walk for more than half an hour at a time.

Most of the time, Mr. Chen takes the children to study at home in the morning. When the weather is good in the afternoon, he will also take them to the mountains to collect folk songs.

I learned the term "collecting folk songs" from my childhood friend Zhou Sisi. Master Chen feels it's a fitting phrase. In autumn, amidst the golden hills, children run across the fields, sometimes gathering wild fruits, sometimes beautiful leaves, sometimes nothing at all, just running back. Isn't that "collecting folk songs"? Returning from collecting folk songs.

Busy times always pass quickly, as if the beam-raising event happened just yesterday, and more than 20 days have passed in a blink of an eye.

The house is finally decorated and we can pick a good day to move in!

Since the house began to be renovated, Zhou Dajiang has not visited it because he is busy with work. Anyway, everything that needs to be ordered has been ordered. Wu Chunsheng is very reliable in terms of quality. With him around, we can be assured of the quality. The rest is up to Chen Xiuying, and she will be in charge of it. The children are even forbidden to go to the construction site to prevent them from bumping into things.

Apart from Wu Chunsheng and the workers, the only ones who knew the whole picture of the house were Chen Xiuying and a few other female generals.

So, the men and children in the family are all looking forward to what the house will look like after it is decorated.

The eighth day of September was an auspicious day for moving, as calculated by Mr. Jia.

It just so happened that this day was also the factory's holiday.

At first light this morning, everyone was up and busy. Everyone's face was filled with joy, especially the children, who were as excited as if it was New Year's Day.

After breakfast, everyone worked together to move everything into the new house. Everyone was stunned, and the children were even more exaggerated. They ran into one room, exclaiming "Wow!", ran into another room, and exclaimed "Wow!" again. It was so exaggerated that people who had never seen it before were very anxious.

Only the female generals led by Chen's mother and Zhou's mother are calm and composed. You can just say "Wow", and it won't be in vain for our hard work during this period.

Chen Xiuying directed the men to move bedding and other things to the corresponding rooms. Following her instructions, everyone looked at each room one by one.

We entered the living room first, and saw a decorative calligraphy hanging in front of the living room. In the middle was a big word "home", and on the lower left side of the calligraphy was a painting of a small boat. There were also words written around the word "home", which read "People are drifting boats, home is a warm shore". A closer look revealed that the calligraphy was actually embroidered.

There are also three paintings hanging next to each other on the left wall of the living room. If you look at the three paintings individually, each one is independent.

The first painting shows a dragonfly playing with a lotus. A pale pink lotus stands upright, with a dragonfly flying above the lotus, about to land on it.

The second painting depicts lotus leaves and lotus pods stretching to the horizon, with only a lotus bud about to bloom in the lower right corner, and the word "years" written in the blank space in the upper left corner.

The third painting depicts a pavilion with a burning incense burner placed on the railing. The smoke from the incense is curling up as if it is about to float out of the painting. Outside the pavilion are a series of lotus leaves and a large lotus flower. The words "quiet and good" are written in the blank space in the upper right corner.

The three paintings are connected together to form a new painting, and the years are quiet and good.

Three paintings, three artistic conceptions, when put together, form a new painting and a new artistic conception. It must be said that the artist has a clever idea.

Zhou Sisi was praised, um, I drew it, didn’t you see my seal below the words?

The last time Grandma Chen went to the provincial capital, after signing the contract, in order to prevent piracy in the future, I carved a seal for her, which she used here.

Beneath the three paintings stood a strange bench, covered in cloth and topped with a few blue and white cushions that matched the colors of the paintings. Master Chen sat on it and said, "Hmm! This bench is nice. It's very soft to sit on."

Zhou Dajiang explained: This can be called a "sofa".

"Gauze hair? It's made of gauze, like steamed cake, which is quite appropriate." Grandpa Chen nodded.

Zhou Dajiang, it's fine as long as you can explain it yourself.

Opposite the sofa, there were several freestanding chairs, also covered in cloth. Grandpa Zhou knew what was going on, so he called it "sofa." Hanging on the wall was a large calligraphy piece: "A harmonious family brings prosperity." Master Chen nodded. I asked why the maid had asked me to write those words every day. It turned out she had picked some she'd already written and hung them here.

He saw a teapot, teacups, and a fruit plate on the coffee table between the two sets of "sofas." He turned around and called Xiuying, asking her to fill the teapot with water. He wanted to drink some tea here. The duck eggs he had eaten in the morning were a bit salty, and he was determined not to stay here just to read his calligraphy.

At this time, Zhou Sisi came over quickly and offered her courtesy, "Grandpa, there is water in the teapot. Mom poured it in when you were not in just now." As she said that, she poured a cup of tea and handed it to Master Chen.

Master Chen stayed to have tea, while the others followed Chen Xiuying to look at the next room.

The living room is located in the middle of a row of houses. The first room on the west side is the master bedroom of Zhou Dajiang and Chen Xiuying. There is a dressing table not far from the door in the room, and further in is a large wardrobe that leads directly to the bottom of the roof. The wardrobe consists of two parts, with two double doors on the top and sliding doors on the bottom. Long lotus pink curtains hang on both sides of the sliding doors facing the windows, and small cloud dolls are sewn on the straps of the curtains, with vertical feet and two cute little eyes.

Between the wardrobe and the window, near the wall, was a heated kang (a kang). Above the kang, a painting depicted Zhou Dajiang and Chen Xiuying seated on chairs. Behind Chen Xiuying stood a mischievous little girl with two pigtails tied with red hairbands. At Zhou Dajiang's feet, a little boy crouched, playing with a ball. The girl and boy could clearly be Zhou Sisi and Anger.

The children were not surprised by the paintings or the cabinets, but by the fact that the paper on the wall was a light yellow and there was a slight scent of flowers in the room.

Furthermore, behind the cabinet at the back of the room, there were two small rooms. One contained a stool, washbasin, and bathtub, while the other contained a toilet with a lid. Now, washing and going to the toilet no longer required going to the yard.
