Chapter 34 Moving to a new home

Heavy snow, one of the twenty-four solar terms, the temperature in southern Shu dropped sharply. In the past, the lively children also began to change into clothes that prevent cold and keep warm. This day, according to the folk sayings of the almanac, is also a good day to move.

From the completion of the bamboo house to the decoration of the rear-end house, the uncle and others who would come to visit each other from time to time finally understood how capable this nephew was. Even a few masters who helped to do things said bluntly that the bamboo house was decorated so beautifully.

Although it was still more than half a month before Mu Zhengfeng had opened his house. However, the new house had been renovated, and Mu Zhengfeng felt that there was no need to delay it. So he decided to move his house to Zhulin on the day of heavy snow.

The sound of firecrackers sounded, carrying the last few things left, Mu Zhengfeng walked in front with the charcoal fire installed from his own kitchen. This also means too much in the countryside. In order to ask the Kitchen God to move to his new home and continue to protect the prosperity of the family.

Listening to the sound of cannons from the Mu family, many villagers sighed: "Oh, this guy from the Mu family is really successful."

"Who said no! I heard from the children in the village that the bamboo house built by his family is so beautiful."

"He was carrying out a housewarming today, why didn't he invite the villagers to dinner?"

"If he comes to invite him, will you go? I guess the cadres in the village are afraid they will have no face to eat."

As Mu Zhengfeng said, today he moved his house and only invited his uncle and his close relatives. The extra guests were only six masters who helped build the house. When he notified earlier, Mu Zhengfeng also made a special trip to invite him.

The charcoal fire received from the old house was stuffed directly into the stove in the new house, and the housewarming ceremony was officially over. From now on, Mu Zhengfeng also began to cook on the stove in the new house, and I am afraid that there are very few trips to the old house.

Looking at the relatives who looked happy, Mu Zhengfeng also smiled and said, "Uncle, please help greet the guests. Aunt, please help to organize the room. You can also help to clean up the things of those girls and boys.

These guys probably don’t have the mood to stay in school today, and they yell every day to move in. Now they have finally moved in and put things in order to save them from the time being, and I don’t know how to clean up!”

"Okay! They live here, have they caused a lot of trouble?"

Listening to what my aunt said, Mu Zhengfeng shook his head and said, "That can be a problem! Actually, I think this is good. The school teachers said before that Abao and Aying's grades have improved a lot during this period.

In the past, they lived home and probably got very late. So when they had time to study and do their homework? Now they live in my house, and a few children learn from each other. I think the learning atmosphere is good. The most important thing is that Xiaoting is very sensible!"

"Really? That's good! They live here in the future, so you can only worry more."

Since I saw Mu Zhengfeng’s new home, my two uncles and uncles have been clamored by their children to build new houses, and they want to build new houses as beautiful as my cousin’s house. They are all bamboo houses. Why is the bamboo house of my cousin so beautifully decorated?

Only two uncles knew that this bamboo house seemed to have a lot of materials on their own. However, the things added later were probably costing 30,000 to 40,000 yuan. This money is not a small amount for them!

Compared to adults, they are either busy in the room or sitting in the living room downstairs. The remaining few children who are still young and unsuccessful in the living room upstairs are making noise. They sit on the spacious bamboo sofa and watch cartoons on TV with interest.

The two aunts who were cleaning the room for their children, sighed when they saw this scene: "Oh, this child Afeng is really promising! Before, my family wanted to bring the three brothers and sisters to our village!"

"Yes! Not to mention anything else, Master Alang said that he could not compare with Afeng's decoration skills! Sister-in-law, I think the house is very beautiful and it doesn't seem to cost much. When I have time, I will build one to make the child happy."

As mothers, they naturally could see their children. They really like such a house. But my second aunt smiled bitterly and shook her head and said, "Will those two guys in our family do this kind of meticulous work? I'm afraid it will cost more money to ask others for help!"

"That's right! If you want to live in a new house, you have to save more money."

"Look! I heard from Ah Xiong that our nephew should think of other ways to make money. Not to mention anything else, just the last time they entered the mountain, our two families also made more than 3,000 yuan. By the time next year, we will probably have more."

"Well, this child Afeng seems to be a good player in making money. His two younger brothers and sisters are afraid that they will be blessed, but they will suffer themselves."

"Oh, who said no! I really don't know what it feels like when my sister comes back and sees this scene in the future!"

As the hostess of the uncle's family, the relationship between the sisters-in-law was good when she was young. It was different from other sisters-in-laws. Not only did Bai Axiong have a good relationship, but even the relationship between the two sisters-in-laws was the same as that of the sisters.

While drinking tea and chatting, Mu Zhengfeng thought of his previous idea, and asked again: "Master Alang, you should have nothing to do during this period, right? If it is convenient, I would like to ask you to help you do some work for a few days."

Bai Alang, who was asked, hurriedly responded with a smile: "It's winter now, what can we do? You really have to live, we are not happy yet! Your house has been built, are you planning to do something else?"

"Yes! Although I can do some things, I am a little slower than a person. I am definitely not as skilled as you masters in building houses and setting up sheds. I plan to tie up the bamboo fence in front of the house and just circle the surrounding open space.

When I entered the door, I planned to build a corridor so that when it was windy and rainy, I could walk into the house without holding an umbrella. Beside the bamboo forest, I planned to build a bamboo pavilion. If guests come here in the future, they would also invite them to have tea there.

Also, there is a bamboo forest behind the house. I plan to build two bamboo houses, which will probably be available next year. For details, I will draw the drawings at that time, and you will probably know. Is this wage enough for fifty days?"

"It's not that expensive! We usually work for people, so it only takes thirty-one days to pack food!"

"Then it's fifty! Your craftsmanship is worth this price. I would like to say, when you build a bamboo corridor and a bamboo pavilion, please spend more time. I have friends in the city, so I may be able to introduce some work to you in the future.

You also know that by digging food and making mountain products alone, we probably have a limited income per year. Although we don’t have to worry about food and clothing, we have to think about our children. Saving more money for them will make us feel more at ease, right?”

Just as Bai Alang and others looked at Bai Axiong as if they were a little embarrassed, the second uncle also smiled heartily and said, "Look at what I do? My nephew can see your skills. He said it is worth fifty days, just take it and do it well."

"Okay! When we look back, we will bring some guys here."

Although I don’t know how many days I can do it, I can earn fifty more if I work one more day. For most people in the mountains who are idle in winter, it is undoubtedly a pleasure to find a job to make money at this time.

Make more money and prepare more New Year’s goods during the Chinese New Year. Who would refuse these heads of families with old and young families? While happy, I felt more and more that Mu Zhengfeng was as righteous as his grandfather.

When Mu Xuan and others got off school, they trotted home. Looking at the beds that had been prepared for them and the wardrobe, the children were so happy. The living room on the second floor was even more troubled by these children.

After dinner, looking at the children who were driven back to their room for a nap, the two uncles and aunts felt that these children had become well-behaved and sensible in front of Mu Zhengfeng. Compared to their troubles at home, they were more obedient and sensible here.
