Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 168 Moving to a new home

An Nian saw his grandfather and his family standing outside the gate of the courtyard in the main room. He quickly put down the coarse cloth in his hand and ran towards them, laughing and shouting, "Grandfather, grandmother."

An Yue, who had just finished washing the dishes in the kitchen, heard An Nian calling her grandparents outside. She took off the apron around her waist and walked towards the gate of the yard.

Arriving at the gate of the courtyard, An Yue looked at the ox cart carrying a lot of things and asked in confusion, "Grandma, why did you buy so many things?"

Grandmother hugged An Nian and said softly, "You are moving to a new home. Yesterday, there was a market in town. Your grandfather and uncle went to town specially to buy these food and lodging supplies for you to warm your home."

An Yue walked over and took a look. There were two large jars, red paper, a pair of dustpans and brooms, two bags of rice and flour, and new pots and pans.

"Grandma, the old pots are still usable, and we have enough bowls and chopsticks, why did you buy so many things?"

Grandma helped An Nian roll up his sleeves and said with a smile, "Of course we need to buy new appliances when we move to a new house, and we also need to look for good luck, right?"

An Yue scratched her head in confusion and asked again, "So there is a reason for this?"

Grandmother stood up and pointed to the two large vats on the oxcart and said, "Yueyue, look at these two large vats. One is for rice and the other is for flour. If you press them with red paper, the grain in the vats will be as valuable as gold."

An Yue walked over and hugged her grandmother's arm, and asked in a coquettish voice: "Grandma, you bought so many things, you must have spent a lot of money, right?"

Grandma patted the back of An Yue's hand lovingly and whispered, "Silly girl, our Jiang family can live a good life without worrying about food and clothing now, isn't it all thanks to you!"

At this time, Qin came towards them from the main room carrying a cloth bag, laughing and saying, "Brother and sister-in-law are here!"

Grandmother quickly responded, "Yes! Sister-in-law, the two children have been bothering you for many days. Now they finally have their own house and will move in today."

Qin walked up to An Yue and said, "Time flies! It feels like the two children will move away in a few days. At this moment, I feel a little reluctant to let them go." After saying that, she picked up the cloth bag and put it on the ox cart.

"Aunt, what are you doing?"

After Qin put it away, she turned around and said to An Yue with a smile: "There is rice in the cloth bag. This is the house-warming gift prepared by your uncle and aunt."

An Yue waved her hands and said, "Aunt, you can't do that. My sister and I are already disturbing you by staying at your house..."

Before An Yue could finish, the village chief Li Huairen came over with a bundle of firewood and said, "With rice and firewood, good times will come naturally. From now on, you two siblings will be living on your own, so you will need firewood, rice, oil and salt. Just keep them!"

An Yue looked at the village head and his wife, leaned over and thanked them, "Then Yueyue and Niannian, I would like to thank you, uncle and aunt!"

Uncle Jiang Chenghai took An Nian and hurried to the east room to help load the things onto the ox cart.

Grandfather said, "Now that everyone is here, let's go!"

Then, the group walked towards the new house.

Along the way, An Nian danced with joy, and ran back and forth with his short legs.

The uncle, who was walking behind driving the ox cart, saw An Nian's unusual excitement and said jokingly with a smile: "Niannian, I'm afraid your heart has already flown to your new home, right?"

Qin took over the conversation and said jokingly, "Niannian, my aunt also wants to live in a blue brick and tile house with you. What should we do?"

An Nian ran to Qin, smiled and said, "I'm happy, but if my uncles and aunts live with us, we'll have to call you grandparents from now on! Are they happy?"

Uncle Jiang Chenghai was pulling the ox cart from behind and said with a smile: "Little meatball, you're dreaming big! You're thinking of picking up a grandparent for free!"

We arrived at our new home while chatting and laughing.

When they arrived at the gate of the new house, everyone stopped. Uncle Jiang Chenghai was leading the ox cart and tied it to the open space outside the gate.

An Yue took the key and went to open the gate of the yard.

The door is open.

The brother and sister pushed open the door and everyone started to get busy.

They carried items from the ox cart, and shouted auspicious blessings every time they brought something in.

My grandfather and the village chief Li Huairen moved two large vats into the kitchen and placed them in the corner.

Grandmother and Qin moved the siblings' bedding and clothes to the two west wings and folded them neatly and laid them out.

An Yue moved the newly bought pots, pans, and utensils to the kitchen and put them in place one by one.

An Nian ran back and forth between the rooms happily, cheering.

My grandmother lit a stick of incense and walked around the courtyard under the eaves, muttering to herself, "I pray to the God of Heaven to bless the two children with safety and good fortune..."

complete!

Qin invited her grandmother Zheng and said, "Sister-in-law, let's go to the kitchen to light a fire and boil some water to quench our thirst."

Grandmother nodded and smiled and went to the kitchen with Qin.

An Yue suddenly remembered that she had accidentally discovered mint outside the yard a few days ago, so she hurried to pick some and bring it back to make tea.

So she said, "Grandma, Aunt, please light a fire first. Yueyue will go pick some mint and bring it back to make tea."

Grandmother Zheng waved her hand at her: "Go, go!"

Qin asked curiously, "Sister-in-law, what is mint?"

"That... you'll have to ask Yue girl. She has a lot of weird ideas in her head."

An Yue walked a few steps out of the gate of the yard and saw mint with tender leaves just emerging from the ground.

Because they were previously clearing the land, they were all cut off as weeds. Fortunately, they still had roots, and in just one month, their leaf tips emerged from the soil again.

An Yue picked a handful of mint leaves and held them in her hand, preparing to go to the kitchen.

I looked up inadvertently and saw a wisp of green smoke slowly rising from the brand new chimney on the roof.

A breeze blew by, and the green smoke floated in the air like a veil, and then disappeared.

In this scene, the sun is shining brightly, smoke is curling up from the adobe houses, and a peaceful and pleasant atmosphere of life fills the air.

At this moment, An Yue couldn't help but think of the scenes in TV dramas in the 21st century. She envied the life of the people in the small village at that time, but she never expected that she would actually live this kind of life now.

She smiled helplessly and shook her head, sighing: "Although the small village life is beautiful, the trivialities of life are inevitable."

After saying that, she took the mint and walked straight to the kitchen.

In the main hall, the village chief's grandfather, uncle and An Nian were sitting around the eight-immortals table in the main hall with smiles on their faces, seemingly discussing the topic of blue brick and tile houses.

After cooking, An Yue brought the mint water to the main hall.

I poured a bowl of mint tea for each of them and placed it in front of them.

They chatted and laughed without bothering to drink, and the mint water gradually became cold.
