Chapter 123: Big Purchase and Moving into a New Home
On the other side, Lin Qingxue and Liu Jiali went to the clothing store and directly bought 42 sets of winter clothes for adults, 42 sets of spring and autumn clothes, and summer clothes made of coarse cloth. They also bought 40 pairs of shoes, 40 thin quilts, and 40 thick quilts.
After paying the money and asking the clothing shop to deliver the goods to their door, the aunt and sister-in-law left the clothing shop and went directly to Xicheng Food Restaurant, where they ordered two tables of hot pot and waited until the hot pot customers left before coming back.
After finishing all these, the aunt and sister-in-law returned to their home in Xicheng. When they arrived home, Li Yanniang and the others had just finished cleaning and were recording a list of things that needed to be purchased.
At this moment, Lin Qingxue and Liu Jiali were seen walking slowly side by side. Li Yanniang was sharp-eyed and as soon as she saw them coming back, she hurried forward to meet them.
She looked a little anxious, and said hurriedly, "Qingxue, and my third sister-in-law, come here quickly! Please help me remember this. I'm afraid I'll forget it in a moment. We need to buy a lot of things for our family! Let's talk about the courtyards first. They have all the necessary tables, chairs, and benches, but we lack boxes for clothes and bedding. In addition, things like bath tubs and washbasins for washing face and hands need to be bought new. And those kitchen utensils such as spatulas, spoons, chopsticks, bowl scrapers, and so on, although we have most of them now, it would be better to buy some spare ones."
"Okay, sister-in-law, I'll go shopping tomorrow. I'll pick up Jiang Lei from the village when the time comes. There's not much to do in the village, but there's more to do in the city, so I'll need him."
Lin Qingxue felt that Jiang Lei, the housekeeper, could not stay in the village. There was really nothing to do in the village, and some trivial matters could be handled by Uncle Lin himself.
But it's different here in the city. There are a lot of things to do, and Jiang Lei needs to take care of it. It's impossible for Lin Qingxue and the others to buy everything they need at home, while Jiang Lei, the housekeeper, stays in the village and has nothing to do.
"Okay! The family needs a housekeeper to take care of things," Li Yanniang agreed without thinking, as long as she was not allowed to be in charge.
Liu Jiali nodded gently and said, "Sister-in-law, Qingxue and I will go buy these things tomorrow. When we go to pick up Uncle and the others in two days, we will bring Jiang Lei with us. Oh, by the way, we have booked two tables of hot pot at the Food Restaurant. We will go there to eat later. Sister-in-law, you guys are all tired all day, so you don't have to go back to South City to eat."
Li Yanniang smiled and said, "You guys are really thoughtful. I have to try the hot pot at Xicheng Food Restaurant. I haven't had hot pot in a long time."
After a short rest, everyone headed to Xicheng Food House. The hot pot restaurant was steaming and filled with aroma.
Since Lin Qingxue and her friends had booked two tables and ordered dishes in advance, and there were not many customers in the restaurant when they arrived, they simply found an empty table and sat down to eat.
Everyone sat around the table eating hot pot. Lin Qingxue saw that everyone had already started eating, so they went upstairs to eat. They also booked a private room upstairs for themselves, and the two tables downstairs were for the servants they bought.
After eating hot pot, Lin Qingxue and Liu Jiali returned home and carefully checked the shopping list to make sure nothing was missed.
Lin Qingxue and her sisters-in-law spent three days cleaning up the house in West City and replenishing the missing items.
Fortunately, the weather is gradually improving and warming up, and the storm has completely stopped. Although there is still no sign of melting, it is not that cold after all, and there is some sun in the sky.
In the West City courtyard, Lin Qingming and Lin Qingran came over with their wives, as well as the sisters Lin Qingxue and Lin Qingyue after finishing breakfast.
At this time, they stood in the yard looking at their tidy and clean new home, their hearts filled with satisfaction. They finally settled down in the city.
For them, the house near the academy is not their home, it is just a transition point, and the house in West City is their home.
"I see the weather has gotten much warmer these past couple of days. I'll go to the village this afternoon to pick up my parents and grandparents. The children have a day off tomorrow, so let's move here to stay tonight! The academy will be left for Old Six and the children."
Lin Qingming brought everyone to the front hall and sat down. Someone immediately brought them tea. He looked at Lin Qingxue and Lin Qingran with a smile on his face. As for Lin Qingbai and his wife, they had gone to work at the neighboring restaurant.
"Okay, we just need to move the clothes over. We've bought quilts here and everything is ready. We'll live here from now on," Lin Qingran agreed with a smile. Although he was envious of this yard, he knew he would have one in the future.
"Then I'll bring out some dishes later, and we'll have a reunion dinner tonight to celebrate. Do you want to invite my uncle and his family over?"
Lin Qingxue looked at Lin Qingming. Village Chief Lin, their uncle, was very important to their family, so now that their family conditions had improved, they also wanted to give something back.
"Then take it over! Leave one of the five courtyards in the backyard empty for my uncle's family to live in. As for my uncle and his wife, they can live in the front yard with my grandparents!"
Lin Qingming agreed without thinking. After his second uncle and his wife passed away, his great uncle's family helped him the most in the entire village. This kind of friendship was rare.
"We have no objection. It's getting late. Let's go to the backyard first and see which yard everyone lives in!" Lin Qingran said with a smile. He hasn't had a good look around the house yet!
"Okay! When I came here, I told the maids at home to gather everyone's clothes and pack them in boxes. I'll ask the servants to go back to the academy and bring the clothes over later," Lin Qingxue said as she stood up and wanted to choose a courtyard for herself. She planned to choose one on the edge.
"Didn't we say before that the study would be left to the sixth child? Then each of us will have our own yard, and the children can just sleep in our yard when they come back to stay," Lin Qingran also stood up, and Li Yanniang and the others naturally followed.
Fortunately, Lin Qingxue and the others knew the layout of the house before. They all came to the backyard together and saw a deep courtyard with winding paths. The yards were of different sizes, but they were all exquisitely decorated and had their own characteristics.
Lin Qingxue walked slowly along the corridor, her eyes moving between the courtyards, thinking about which one to choose. She thought that although the courtyard on the side was a little remote, it was more peaceful and suitable for her to live in. After all, her space was not enough for outsiders to know.
Lin Qingran looked around excitedly, full of anticipation for his future living life. He talked in a low voice with his wife, discussing how to decorate the yard to make it more homey.
Li Yanniang and Lin Qingming were also pointing and discussing, exchanging their ideas. Some of them liked to have a small flower garden or vegetable garden in the yard.
