Adorable Kids in Space: Lucky Wife is So Carefree

Chapter 51: Buying an oxcart and looking at the heart house delighted the children.

After signing the contract, Ru Xiu went to confirm with Manager Wang about taking a ride to Taocheng to help the old lady take a pulse in the next episode before meeting up with Uncle Shuanzi and the others.

Uncle Li, on the other hand, took Uncle Shuanzi directly to the cattle market. The cattle market in Qinghe Town was not big, with only a dozen or so cattle per market. They looked at all the cattle in the market from head to toe, and had a general idea of ​​what they wanted. Finally, after discussing it with Uncle Shuanzi, they decided on a big bull with good teeth, two years old, and spent eight taels of silver for it.

According to Ruxiu, they bought a spacious oxcart nearby. The cart canopy could be made in half an hour, and after paying two taels of silver, they could simply harness the ox and head home, saving a lot of trouble. They even gave Uncle Shuanzi twenty coins as a token of their appreciation for his time.

The children excitedly touched the big bull and the oxcart. The water buffalo, Ruxiu, was fed some spring water and became very docile, as if it knew it was one of its own. Ge'er and Taozi, however, were too afraid to touch it and just circled around it.

Hearing that they had rented a house in Qinghe Town and could move to the city after the New Year, everyone was very happy. The children were especially excited, asking all sorts of questions. Ru Xiu decided to let them go and see it the next day, treating it as a day off, and also to clean up and see what they needed to buy, just to broaden the children's horizons.

They gathered a few extra quilts and a change of clothes. Uncle Li had Xi Ge drive the oxcart around the village a few times to make sure everything was alright before letting Xi Ge drive the oxcart out. Eight people, of all ages, squeezed into the back of the cart.

Hirako and Momoko were full of curiosity when they rode in the oxcart for the first time. They held their mother's hand tightly and shook it, always worried that they would fall off.

Le Ge clapped and laughed heartily beside her, while Ge'er pulled Taozi along, mimicking her second aunt's comforting words: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Anyone who didn't know better would think she was the older sister.

"Everyone will have to work when we get there. After we finish our work, we'll go to Baixianglou for a big meal."

"Wow, that's great! Baixianglou! That's the best restaurant in Qinghe Town."

"I know, I know, that restaurant has two floors."

"Mommy, Mommy, let's go upstairs. The food up there must be delicious."

"Oh, we're going out for a big meal. We're city people now, we're not country bumpkins anymore."

Brother Le still looks like a country bumpkin.

"Mother, are we all going to live here? What about my handicrafts? I think I'll stay in the village." Sister Shi's thoughts were often out of sync with others' joy, so she was always struggling painfully inside.

"What are you talking about? A family will definitely live together. I will find a way myself. Shi'er is still young, so don't think too much about it." Ru Xiu patted her head to comfort her.

"That's right, our whole family should be together, and my second aunt should be with us too!"

"Peach wants to be with us too."

“And Hirako.”

Ru Xiu hadn't thought that far ahead. For some, moving to a different place might mean separation, even if it's not very far. But separation is a natural part of life, and it's something children need to learn to accept.

"Wow, are we going to live here from now on? This is so beautiful, even more beautiful than the houses of the richest people."

"I have never seen such a beautiful house before."

"Mommy, Mommy, can I have a room by myself? I love it so much."

The children happily ran around every corner of all the houses, which took them almost half an hour. They stopped here and there to sit, asking questions about things they didn't understand.

"Mommy, where should we live?" With so many houses, the children were overwhelmed and didn't know how to choose.

"That's what Mother thinks. Xige and Lege need to study, so they need to be quiet."

"The front yard is constantly being used for coming and going, and the door is frequently opened, which might cause some inconvenience. It would be more appropriate for my mother, second aunt, and sister-in-law to live in the front yard, as it's quicker for them to open the door for others."

“Ge’er sleeps with her mother, and Taozi sleeps with her second aunt.”

"No, I still want to sleep with Peach." Ge'er was the first to object.

“Why should we sleep? I’ll guard the houses in the village for you,” Auntie Er quickly declined.

Second Aunt: We stay in the village occasionally. Anyway, it's convenient now that there are oxcarts. And Taozi and Pingzi won't worry about Caifeng if they stay here.

"Brother Xi and Brother Le will each choose a room and a study in the backyard."

According to ancient customs, the master lived in the main house in the front yard, the children lived in the east and west wing rooms, and the female relatives lived in the back yard if there were many people.

However, Ruxiu didn't pay much attention to the formalities for the sake of convenience. After all, it was a rented house, and she wasn't a wealthy family, so there was no need for so many formalities.

"Let's use the calligraphy room for now, so we can learn from each other." Xi Ge's suggestion made sense to Ru Xiu, since the study was big enough.

"So Pingzi naturally slept with me?" Le Ge asked playfully. The two got along well and naturally wanted to be together. As long as it didn't affect her studies, Ru Xiu had no objections.

"Caifeng can choose a room in the backyard. She can come over and rest here occasionally."

“We don’t need to. There’s so much work to do at home that we can’t leave without someone. In case someone comes up the mountain to cause trouble, we can have someone to look after us.” Cai Feng had no intention of staying.

The main hall in the front yard was naturally not for receiving guests, so Lu Ruxiu chose the east room of the main house and wanted her second aunt to live in the west room.

Second Aunt refused no matter what. The old lady knew some reason, so she chose a side room for herself. Sister Shi lived in the side room next to Second Aunt, and the west room was empty for her parents to live in, which was fine.

There are five main rooms in the backyard. One room on each side of the main hall is a study. Xi Ge naturally lives in the east room next to the study, while Le Ge and Ping Zi live in the west room next to the study.

The two decided to temporarily use the study near the west wing.

Seeing that Caifeng didn't choose, Ruxiu still assigned her a side room in the backyard. The children would definitely come and go often, and it would be normal for the adults to stay overnight occasionally. Anyway, there were so many rooms, it would just be empty anyway.

Once you've chosen a house, you naturally need to clean it. The cleaning staff regularly come to clean it, so it's not actually that dirty.

But you always feel more at ease when you clean and wipe down the place you live in.

Peach and Ge'er are too young to do anything, so let them run around and play to get familiar with the place, otherwise they might run into the wrong house without even realizing it.

Everyone else cleaned their own rooms, which didn't take long.

Once the bedding is laid out, you can sleep in for the night.

There weren't many fallen leaves in the courtyard, so it didn't take much time for everyone to clean them up. By noon, they had basically finished.
