Chapter 145: [Sorry for a mandarin duck](1/2)
Dinner is leftovers at noon. Although the Yin family is well-off, Mr. Yin and Yin Ke’s parents both came from hard days and would not dislike leftovers. Yin Ke is naturally not the kind of child who cannot eat such food, otherwise he would have to be beaten to death by Mr. Yin.
Xu Ning made a small pot of dumpling soup in the kitchen, which was made of space water, which tasted delicious and mellow. Even though he had eaten a lot at noon, several men still drank three bowls each. If it weren't for the fact that there was no place to fill it in his stomach, he would have to continue drinking it.
Due to Yin Ke's death here tonight, Xie Zheng did not have the chance to have any ambiguous relationship with Xu Ning, so he could only sit in the living room and watch TV. The TV was imported, and the colored 29-inch is also the largest in China at present. The price is naturally not cheap, but it can't stand the color. Xu Rui especially likes to watch cartoons with Xiao Huihui.
Until ten o'clock in the evening, Qin Xuejuan stepped forward and picked up her son who was sleeping in the sand and asked Xiao Huihui to go to bed together.
In fact, Qin Xuejuan didn't want Xiao Huihui to sleep in the house, but she has been guarding Xu Rui since she was a child. She didn't let him enter the house at night and kept screaming. When Xu Rui woke up, she still had to put it in. However, she built a nest for Xiao Huihui in the corner of the bedroom, and there was something inside. Huihui knew that it was convenient to go to the bathroom, otherwise Qin Xuejuan would not agree if her son cried.
When Qin Xuejuan plans to let Xu Rui sleep alone next year, it’s time to exercise.
Seeing that his mother went back, Xu Ning also greeted Xie Zheng and Yin Ke, "Don't watch it too late, I'll go to bed too."
"Go, don't forget to close the window tonight. The weather forecast just now said that it might rain lightly tonight, so don't catch a cold." Xie Zheng carefully reminded.
Yin Ke looked at his good buddy with a sloppy look and followed him with such concern.
How could he know that if he hadn't stayed with shamelessness, these two young couples would have found a place to kiss me and me long ago.
"I know." Xu Ning got up and yawned, walking slowly along the janitorial at home to the backyard.
After entering through the gate, the veranda is built along the eaves of the walls along the eaves of the veranda. There are also rolled curtains under the eaves of the veranda. If they are all put down, they can ensure that the floor under their feet will not be moldy due to the erosion of wind and rain too early, and can also be moved through the veranda and will not be wet when passing through the veranda.
Yin Ke stood beside the bed, looking at the floor lamps on the backyard, making the backyard look dreamy.
"This place is obviously the imperial capital, but at Xu Ning's home, it seems like he is in the water town of Jiangnan."
Xie Zheng curled his lips and said, "This house has been spent a lot of money from buying it, to the later renovation, and now it has been built. However, compared to those newly built tall buildings, I still like this style of houses, which combines retro and modernity, and Rizhao has also adopted it to the maximum extent. Compared with the high-rise buildings with steel structures, it is much more comfortable and comfortable."
"That's what it means." Yin Ke opened his mouth and yawned, "Go upstairs to sleep. I was struggling in school until the early morning before falling asleep. I was awakened by my brother in the dormitory very early in the morning."
"Well, you go first, I'll go after reading the news." Xie Zheng pointed to CCTV News on TV and said.
Yin Ke didn't say much, and walked upstairs yawning. He went upstairs in the afternoon to see it first. Although the house was not big, the bed was very comfortable.
If the front and rear windows are opened in summer, it will be absolutely cool and comfortable to sleep at night. In winter, there are radiators in the room that can be heated by yourself to ensure that it will not be cold.
After taking a shower, Xu Ning was included in the quilt. The quilt was a little cool, but it would not make people feel cold. Lying on for a while, the smooth fabric sticks to the skin, as if it makes people in the clouds.
She just pulled the layer of gauze inside the curtains. The thick sky blue curtain outside did not move. The faint light outside the window shone in through the gauze curtains, with a hazy beauty. There was a faint smell of wood in the room, which was very light but not pungent. This fragrance of grass and wood will make people feel relaxed.
In the hazy state, the light outside seemed to be pressed down, and Xu Ning fell asleep unknowingly.
The next morning, she was woken up by the light.
Huihui could faintly hear Huihui screams outside the window. Xu Ning got off the bed barefoot, walked to the window and opened the curtains, and pushed open the wooden door of the balcony. A faint moisture came to his face. It must have been a light rain last night, and the sky in the distance was stained with fog. On the lawn downstairs, Xu Rui was chasing each other with Huihui. Huihui's tail was like a propeller, chasing the little master while chasing him. Occasionally, he saw Xu Rui showing signs of falling down, Huihui would rush over to make meat pads for the little master.
"Sister, get up and have dinner." Seeing Xu Ning on the balcony, Xu Rui held Huihui's neck below and shouted at her with a smile. His voice was crisp and full of vitality.
"Here you come, don't play anymore." After coming back to change your clothes, after washing up, he went downstairs to the front yard.
Xu Ning got up not too late. Yin Ke had not yet gotten up, and Xie Zheng had not come down from the upper floor. However, grandparents seemed to have been wandering around the house for a few times and had just returned from morning exercises.
"Grandpa and grandma!" Xu Ning looked at the two of them holding hands and stepping into the door, "Isn't there a park nearby? Are there many people practicing in the morning?"
"Not old or young." Yu Chunhua looked at her granddaughter, "Did you sleep well last night?"
"A new bed and new quilt, of course I've been sleeping well." Xu Ning held grandma's arm, "Where are you two elders?"
"Of course it's comfortable." Uncle Yao squinted his eyes and was so happy. This was where he lived when he was a child. Now he slept with the old woman. He also slept when he was a child. Although the layout has been slightly changed, the bed is not the kind of step-pulling bed he used to when he was a child, but it still makes him feel comfortable.
Because the two old men were old, Qin Xuejuan did not get Simmons for them, but they just laid a few soft quilts on the bed board. The old man's body could not withstand Simmons' tossing, and his whole body would probably be sore after sleeping for a night.
Next to the kitchen in the east wing in the front yard, there is a kang, which is prepared for the two elderly people in winter. Sleeping in a kang is good for the body and can drive away the cold and nourish the body. When the weather is cold, you can move in and sleep. Although the room is not big and the lighting is not good, you are better at sleeping and not doing anything else.
After all, every room in the house is equipped with radiators, so it will not be cold in any room at home in winter.
Qin Xuejuan came out of the kitchen and saw the morning exercises coming back, and said to Xu Rui: "Ruirui, go upstairs and call your brother to get up and have dinner."
"Oh, I'll go now." Xu Rui rushed into the living room and ran to the second floor with his calf.
Xie Zheng had already gotten up, and was lying on the balcony reading a book with a book on the deck chair. Yin Ke next door was probably still staying in bed. It was just seven o'clock in the morning, and that guy always liked to be rubbing in bed.
"Brother." Xu Rui rushed in, saw that the quilt had been folded, and then turned his head to go to the next door.
At half past seven, everyone sat in the living room for breakfast.
"You are going to the flower and bird market in the morning?" Yu Chunhua looked at the children in front of her, "Then buy some flowers and don't want to attract insects."
"We plan to see if there are any lotus roots sold, come back and plant them in the backyard pond, and then buy a few colors of koi and put them in." Xu Ning drank millet porridge, "This kind of words looks good and clean. If it is particularly fragrant, it is impossible not to attract insects, right? It is not good to provoke bees."
"Lotus is OK, too." Yu Chunhua nodded, and then said to the old uncle Yao beside her: "The lotus pond behind our village is still beautiful. We can plant at most twenty or thirty candies in our backyard. It would be better if the house is bigger."
Lao Yao laughed and said, "How big do you want if you are bigger? When the Qing Dynasty was an official, the size of the official residences was strictly regulated. Of course, those favorite ministers could not say that the emperor could give them imperial residences, and the residences where the royal relatives lived. Look at what is destroyed and what is defeated, the ones that are preserved are limited, which have been converted into scenic spots by the state. How could it be sold to us?"
"That's right." Yu Chunhua nodded, "I'm not saying that I want to live in a big house. I feel that it's spacious when I go out in our village. Let's look at the imperial capital. In addition to houses, it's also a house when I go out. Speaking of which, our family is very good."
Xu Ning put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth, "If grandma thinks that the garden at home is small, we will open up the house next door. The house in the backyard is dilapidated and can be demolished and expanded."
"You're going to open a shop in the next house?"
"I need to study for eight years now, but the house next door cannot be stored for eight years. At worst, I can look at it again later. The land in my mother's hand will probably start construction in the past two years. I can also ask my mother to give me a seat there, or if my mother buys land in the future, I can pick it."
"I think this idea is pretty good." Xie Zheng agreed with Xu Ning's opinion, "Grandma hasn't seen it next door yet?"
"Why didn't you go? I went around the next door half a month ago. Has no one lived in it before? There were weeds, insects and mice inside, so dirty, and the house was also broken." Yu Chunhua said with regret.
Speaking of this, Yin Ke knew more clearly than Xie Zheng. "It turns out that this house was lived in by the Garden Bureau. It seems that there is a unit next door to work, but Grandma Yu didn't know that it was very troublesome to maintain such a house. Then the department next door moved to the new government building. It has been almost six or seven years since I wanted to manage it, and there is no time for the house. Twenty or thirty years ago, there were many houses like the Imperial Capital. Later, since I was a child, many of these houses were uninhabited for a long time, and many of them were simply unable to live in. Even if someone wanted to buy it, who would be willing to buy it when he saw that look, it would be better to buy a new one. Compared to this kind of wooden house, they would rather live in that kind of foreign villa."
"No matter what, since you have bought all the next door, you will definitely not be able to let the house continue to be abandoned. If you can wait for a short time, just repair it." Yu Chunhua and Qin Xuejuan said.
Qin Xuejuan nodded with a smile and agreed.
In fact, it doesn’t take my mother-in-law to say that Qin Xuejuan also needs to repair it. Since her daughter is not going to open a store here, she will open the yard and expand the pond. At that time, she will have a variety of lotus flowers, raise more koi, and then build a pavilion in the middle and plant a little more trees by the way. Of course, she will also have to build a garage on the other side. In the future, the family will definitely buy a car. Thinking about it, the family will soon become a small 2,000 square meters, which is simply too good.
She likes this retro style house very much. After all, it’s just that when she lived in a European villa since she was a child. She slept in the room all night last night. Her sleep quality was very high and she had a good night of dreams. She didn’t even hear her son getting up and swearing by herself.
In the morning, the little guy proudly told him about this.
"Then start construction early and strive to finish the decoration before the New Year." Qin Xuejuan looked at Xie Zheng and smiled: "Take your grandparents here to live during the New Year."
"Okay." Xie Zheng nodded.
Yin Ke opened his mouth and said that he wanted to come, but when he thought about the relationship between his family and the Xu family, he had to give up.
"Yin Ke wants to come, don't be polite." Qin Xuejuan smiled warmly.
Yin Ke sighed, "It's the New Year, and my family can't let me come out and run around, but in the first month, I came back to pay New Year's greetings to my grandparents, uncles and aunts."
"Okay, we're waiting for you at home."
Since we need to renovate, we will not go to the flower and bird market today. However, living near the Imperial City, there are many places to play, such as Houhai, Jingshan, etc., and a day will be gone.
"Go to Quanjude at noon." Xie Zheng looked at Xu Ning, "Have you gone to eat it yet?"
"No." Xu Ning's eyes suddenly lit up. Although he had never eaten it, these three words were well-known.
Xie Zheng saw the little girl's shiny eyes, with a smile on her lips, and her eyes were as soft as water, "Take you here to try it at noon."
"Um!"
"Does your parents want to eat?" Qin Xuejuan looked at the two old men.
Uncle Lao Yao smiled very proudly, "You guys play with you, we go together if we want to eat."
Well, the relationship between these two old people is really good. They usually go to and from school to and from morning exercises and shopping. Occasionally, they will take the bus to and from nearby tourist attractions while their grandson is in school.
The most awesome time was last week. The two spent five days working days in the Forbidden City. They had been watching it until they changed to other attractions such as Jingshan and even thought that they would go to the Great Wall if they were free.
Qin Xuejuan was worried. It would be so tiring for you two old men to climb the Great Wall, but unfortunately they couldn't persuade them.
In the afternoon of that day, Xie Zheng returned to school, but Xu Ning did not rush to go back because there was no class on Monday morning.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, because there is only one day's legal leave, Xu Jianjun could not come to the family to reunite. He could only call his wife to relieve his longing. He kept saying on the phone that he wanted to celebrate the New Year soon, and he missed his wife.
Qin Xuejuan was listening carefully next to her. After all, her father-in-law was watching TV with her grandson in the living room, and her mother-in-law and daughter were cooking lunch in the kitchen. She was really afraid that her father-in-law and son would hear her husband's coquettish voice on the phone, which would make her so embarrassed.
"Do you think I don't miss you?" Qin Xuejuan said in a low voice.
Xu Jianjun laughed over there like a fool, "I must miss me, I know."
"Just know, you work harder, you have gone from town to county. I believe you will definitely be able to come from county to imperial capital." Qin Xuejuan held the phone and said with a red cheek, "I know your abilities the best, so there is no problem."
"Then I will go from town to city, then the province, and then I can run to the imperial capital. It won't last for more than ten or twenty years. At that time, I will be old." Xu Jianjun said this, but his voice was not disappointed, but he was full of energy. "I won't let you down. I will continue to move up. No matter where you go, people will say that you, Qin Xuejuan, have no mistakes in your eyes."
Qin Xuejuan's eyes suddenly became wet, and she nodded repeatedly here, "Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. Even now, I can tell everyone that I have never missed my vision."
"It's a holiday today. You can't cry, so that your parents and children will laugh at you." Xu Jianjun also felt sour. How long has it been since he hugged his wife to sleep? It's so fucking painful. "I'm waiting to call me behind me. I won't talk about it today. I'll call you by phone at night. Will it be fine if my parents fall asleep after 10 o'clock?"
"Okay, I'll wait for your call."
"Goodbye my wife."
A pair of miserable mandarin ducks hung up the phone reluctantly.
Qin Xuejuan was about to go to the kitchen to help, but when she turned around, she almost knocked her son beside her down.
"Oh my good son, what are you doing when you stand behind mom?"
"Dad's phone number?" Xu Rui and Huihui looked up at their mother together, "I haven't talked to Dad yet."
"..." Qin Xuejuan wanted to dig a hole and drill in.
Just now, I was just concerned about talking to my husband, but I forgot to let my children say a few words to their father.
To be continued...
