all the way

Chapter 130

All the etiquette procedures required for Liu Xia's moving were arranged by his parents and elder brother, because under normal circumstances, moving is usually caused by a family composed of younger couples and children due to separation or other reasons. According to customs, the parents of both husband and wife will express it.

For example, the woman's natal family needs to buy a relatively large kitchen item for the child, and send a pot of noodles to bring when moving. The meaning is simple and clear, taking the meaning of "hair" in "fa noodles". The children will make a fortune in the future.

From the beginning of written records, the lives of Chinese people's ancestors have not been very rich, and most people have to struggle for survival all their lives. Therefore, no matter how the blessings that imply wealth are expressed, they are very popular.

The man’s family must at least prepare enough dumplings for everyone to eat. Eating dumplings is a must for many festivals in this area. The reason is unknown, but eating dumplings now means reunion.

Usually, the man's parents or other very close family members will also prepare a set of more festive bedding, and the new house will be equipped with new bedding. It seems that only in this way can the festive feeling of moving to a new house be more complete.

There is basically no such thing as Liu Xia who moves when he is alone, and there is no precedent for his family members to follow, so they simply prepare according to the most satisfactory standards.

Sun Chang'e and Xiumei distributed a large pot of noodles in advance, and also made a brand new set of quilts. The quilts are made of bright red bases and decorated with various bright flowers, because Liu Xia and Mao'er's big bed was put together It was extra large, and there were no ready-made sheets to buy, so Xiumei used the same large patterned cloth as the quilt, added a lining and sewed one, and spread it together with the quilt, not to mention how festive and beautiful it was.

Xiumei did not expect that because she thought the bed was too big, and she was afraid that the single-layer cotton sheet would be too thin and easy to wrinkle, so she came up with a temporary idea of ​​adding a layer of lining to wrap the edges, and it would become a kind of bedclothes in 20 years. Very trendy bedding from "Bed Cover".

Liu Chuan and Su Xiaohui bought a large pot, meat filling and other ingredients. After Sun Chang'e and the others picked them up, the women and men started preparing dumpling fillings.

Spacious three bedrooms and two living rooms, every corner is lively.

Tomorrow, we can start cooking at noon. Tonight's meal was eaten by Liu Chuan, Su Xiaohui and Mao'er with the whole family at the restaurant. There was a little dispute at the checkout, and Mao'er wanted to pay the bill, but Liu Chuan gave it to him by ear. Stuffed it into Liu Kui's arms.

What Liu Xia came back to eat was porridge steamed buns and fried plum beans made for him by Maoer in the dormitory.

Liu Xia often feels thirsty after spending a day outside in the wind and sun. When he gets home, he likes to eat this kind of comfortable and delicious home-cooked food, especially porridge, which is two big bowls every time.

It turned out that the presence of the large small dining table in the spacious dining room has weakened a lot. Sun Chang'e, Xiumei and Su Xiaohui are preparing tomorrow's food and drink around it. Moving to such a nice new house, if only eating dumplings It was so deserted, they decided to make another table of dishes, and let the men have a few drinks to be lively.

Yufang didn't come with everyone, and she was due to give birth in a month. For safety, Liu Kui and Liu Yu spent a whole day sending her back to her natal home half a month ago, so that when she was due to give birth Sometimes, it will be much more convenient to go to the health center.

Liu Yu hasn't come yet, the factory has been full of work recently, he has been working overtime, and he agreed to come here before the fire tomorrow.

Liu Changqing, Liu Changchun, Liu Kui, Liu Chuan and Liu Xia were sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV and talking.

Liu Wei and Liu Rui sat in the room where Simmons's bed was placed, doing their homework nervously, and at the same time had to deal with Liu Yun and Liu Lei who were about to come laughing and running around them in a short while.

In order to have fun tomorrow, I must finish my homework today, but the two little Hades can’t afford to offend them. If I don’t take time out of my busy schedule to talk to them and praise them for being so obedient and sensible, then I’m afraid the next thing is Don't even think about writing a word.

In order to welcome the arrival of the family today and the happy moving ceremony tomorrow, Maoer did not go out to play during all the get out of class time at noon today, and returned home after school at noon, and only started cooking and eating after finishing the rest of the homework.

Now, he is fighting on multiple fronts, and if Sun Chang'e and the others in the restaurant need anything, he will run over to find it;

In the living room, Liu Changqing and the others are studying how to make the open space in front of their new house beautiful and practical, and he also wants to participate in the opinion;

He also needs to help Liu Xin fix Liu Yun and Liu Lei's madness, so that they don't get too crazy when they run around the room, bumping themselves.

The two little guys have already turned on the shower head once in the afternoon without authorization, and poured themselves into a soaked chicken once. Although there has been no cold snap this year and the weather is not too cold, it is already past the cold clothes festival. The two little guys Still shivering from the cold.

Fortunately, Sun Chang'e and Xiumei had the foresight to bring them an extra set of thin cotton underwear when they came, otherwise the two of them would have to lie naked in the bed and go crazy.

When the women prepared a table of twelve dishes, the men stopped talking for a while.

In the open space in front of the new building, the units have already established rules: residents on the first floor can enclose a yard, the size of which is: the length of their own house, the width of ten meters from the outer wall of the balcony, the courtyard wall and the wall between the adjacent two houses The height of the courtyard shall not exceed 1.5 meters, and they are all built with red bricks. No buildings are allowed in the courtyard.

The six households on the first floor of the building to the west have already bought bricks to build the courtyard wall together. Liu Xia and the six people on the first floor of this building discussed it and handed over the matter to Fu Dong.

But Fu Dong has been so busy recently with dormitory allocation, home decoration and the purchase of a new car for his unit that he hasn't taken care of it. Liu Xia and the others are not in a hurry. Everyone can rest assured that Fu Dong will do things. If you have a good yard, then everyone will definitely have a small yard that is more beautiful than the few houses in the west during the Spring Festival.

Mao'er and Liu Xia watched the movie "Revisiting the Mandarin Dream" on TV once. Mao'er had no interest in the plot, but he especially liked Smith and Paula's fenced courtyard full of roses.

Liu Xia originally made up his mind that as long as other people in the unit dare to enclose the yard without authorization, he also dares to build a beautiful fence for the cat to surround the yard. Of course, there are no roses for the time being, and a yard full of roses is not satisfactory. .

But now, the unit graciously allowed them to enclose the courtyard, but asked to use red brick walls uniformly. After discussing with Maoer, Liu Xia and Maoer decided that the fenced courtyard must be hopeless, so they got a vaulted roof. Let's talk about the fence gate to comfort the old pregnant.

Liu Kui contracted this job, just a few long and short pieces of wood, just paint some paint on it, it will be done in three or two days, it is not difficult at all.

It has already been decided to plant two more trees in the yard, one oak tree and one persimmon tree, or the yard is bare, no different from living upstairs, without the shade of trees, I feel uncomfortable. Too much like a complete home.

The tree can be dug and moved when its leaves are completely gone in winter and enters the dormant period. Liu Kui is responsible for finding suitable saplings, and Liu Chuan is responsible for sending them to plant them.

Also, there are water pipes left in the yard, and a pool needs to be built. Liu Changqing looked at it and asked Liu Xia to build the pool near the west wall of the yard, where the oak tree can cover the shade after it grows up, and wash it in the yard later. Easy to brush.

The steps from the balcony to the small courtyard are now only five bare concrete platforms. Liu Changqing has already measured the size, and decided to make a whole set of stone steps and railings for them after going back. The balcony should also be remodeled at the same time. If it is replaced by stone, the cement will still loosen and fade after a long time, and the stone can last much longer.

All the preparations are done, the whole family is ready to go to bed, but allocating rooms has become a problem, especially the two little Hades, who keep saying that they have grown into big children, and they insist on sleeping with their brothers today.

The master bedroom and the north room are two single beds put together, which can sleep several people.

The family discussed for a while before deciding: Although Liu Changqing and Sun Chang'e are the elders, Liu Xia and Mao'er are the permanent owners of the house. They brought Liu Wei, Liu Rui, Liu Xin, Liu Yun, and Liu Lei to sleep. In the master bedroom, Sun Chang'e, Xiumei, and Su Xiaohui's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sleep Simmons; Liu Changqing, Liu Changchun, and Liu Kui sleep in the north room, and Liu Chuan sleeps on the sofa.

The two little Hades probably didn't expect their request to be approved. They were so happy that they completely forgot what they had just said when they had grown into grown-up children. Press the bed, press out a house full of children and grandchildren, hahaha, hahaha, hahahahaha..."

Liu Xin called to the two of them: "Little idiot, uncle and elder brother Liu An are moving, not getting married, who told you two to press the bed?"

"Ah?!" The two little Hades stopped, not knowing why: "The red quilt is so beautiful, why aren't they married?"

Liu Rui said: "Moving is also a very festive event, so grandma and mother spread a red quilt for my uncle. Who told you two that putting on a red quilt means getting married?"

The two little Hades stubbornly refused to accept it: "Mother said, covering the red quilt means getting married, and uncle means getting married, what's going on? Press the bed, press the bed, press out a good man, hahaha, hahaha , Hahahahahaha..." The two little things didn't know what it was like to get married, so they challenged everyone's nerves openly without any scruples.

Mao'er crossed her hips and was thinking about how to fix the two little guys. Sun Chang'e, Xiumei, Su Xiaohui and Liu Chuan all came in.

The two little Hades were afraid of being taken away by Xiumei and the others, so they immediately sat on the bed and pretended to be obedient.

Not being fooled, Liu Chuan pointed at the two of them and said, "If you dare to give me a hard time, you all go to sleep with me, do you hear me?"

The two shook their heads together: "Father, we are good boys, we are good boys, we should sleep well."

Xiumei said: "Well, my child is just a good boy, go to bed quickly, and get up early tomorrow morning to eat dumplings and meat."

The two little guys nodded obediently: "Medium, you can eat a lot."

Sun Chang'e pointed to the two little guys: "You two little grandchildren, your uncle has never even met a relative, so he told you two to press the bed in advance, are you planning to tell him to follow the same example now?" Those shameless masters, are you giving birth to a child before you get married?"

Su Xiaohui said: "Mom, don't talk to them. The more you talk about them, the more they will act. Let's go back to sleep. They will stay here to be annoying and ask Liu Chuan to clean them up."

The two little guys looked at Chang'e Sun and blinked innocently. Chang'e Sun felt distressed and patted the heads of the two of them: "You two are obedient. Grandma looks at your father and doesn't tell him to clean up you two."

Liu Yun and Liu Lei nodded together: "Yes."

But as soon as Su Xiaohui closed the door, the two little Hades climbed up, jumped higher than before, and yelled louder than before: "Press the bed, press the bed, press out the children and grandchildren..."

Liu Xia supported the wall and his forehead.

He would miss these two little guys after a while, but every time he saw them, he would feel sorry for his hands if he didn't give them two slaps.

The cat ran to the door and said to Liu Chuan and Sun Chang'e, who were about to open the door and come in again: "Third Uncle, Grandma, you should go to bed, the children should go to bed after playing for a while, don't worry about it, I will let them stay here and lead them." Well, nothing will happen." After saying that, he knocked on the door and put the insurance on it.

The two little Hades continued to dance around on the bed, jumping up and down, and Liu Xin was also happy with their excitement, eager to try and go up.

Mao'er pushed Liu Xia to a chair and sat down: "Uncle, take a rest for a while, just for a while, I'll tidy them up and we'll go to sleep."

Liu Xia sat on the chair with his legs crossed and prepared to watch the battle. He had full confidence in the cat.

Mao'er said to Liu Xin: "You go up to the boy too, and jump with them, Brother Rui, you will count them for a while, and you are not allowed to stop if you do not have a hundred times."

He walked to the bedside and slapped the two little Hades: "Boy, come here quickly, brother will discuss something nice for you two."

Mao'er used to repair these two things when he was at home, and the prestige in the two people's hearts is still there. The two little Hades jumped over and stood in front of Mao'er: "What are you doing, brother?"

Mao'er smiled and said: "My brother is very happy that you pressed the bed for my uncle. Since you like to see the bed so much, then my brother will let you two press it enough today. Can you hit it? Don't stop, jump on the bed a hundred times." Circle, if the jump is not enough and stops in the middle, you two have to sleep with the third uncle, how about it?"

The two little Hades had no idea about numbers at all, and of course they didn't know what it meant to jump a hundred laps in a row, so they laughed foolishly and happily: "Haha, beautiful, you can jump a hundred laps."

The cat said: "Yes, Kemei, let's start then, remember, if the jumping is not enough to stop," he turned his head and asked, "Uncle, who are you responsible for?"

Liu Xia said, "Xiao Yun."

Mao'er turned her head again: "Brother Xiao Wei."

Liu Wei raised her eyebrows at Liu Lei with a smirk: "Boy, then you, you can't run away with my arm, you just wait for Hei to ask your father to fix it today. You don't even dare to fart."

Liu Chuan said outside the door: "No one needs to send them off, I will just take them away."

Liu Yun and Liu Lei shouted at the same time: "No, we want to sleep with my brother, we have grown up."

Mao'er raised his hand: "Get ready——Brother Rui, start counting, start."

Liu Yun, Liu Lei and Liu Xin jumped up together: "Press the bed, press the bed, press out a whole house of children and grandchildren."

Liu Xia took the lead, and Liu Wei and Maoer cheered together: "Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey!"

"Press the bed, press the bed, press out a good room."

"Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey!"

……

For the eighth time, the two little guys were out of breath, and just about to stop, the cat yelled that it was going to open the door for Liu Chuan.

The two little Hades continued to dance, but they stopped shouting.

Liu Rui stretched out her hand in front of Liu Yun's face: "Come on, come on, No.11! Jump higher."

Liu Yun bounced up twice more desperately, and sat down on the bed: "Huhu... brother, I... I'm always sleepy... I think... I'm sleepy!"

Liu Lei was already too tired, so he followed Liu Yun and lay down directly: "I fell asleep, I fell asleep."

Mao'er stretched out his hand and pulled Liu Yun: "No hit, I haven't jumped a hundred times, I can't sleep, if I want to sleep, get up and sleep with my third uncle."

Liu Yun fell on his back: "No, I will sleep with you. If anyone dares to ask me to sleep with Dad, I will pee on his bed."

Liu Xia laughed so hard that he wanted to twitch, he came and sat on the edge of the bed, pushing the two little guys who were pretending to be dead: "Come across, tell my uncle to lie down too."

The two little Hades immediately spun around with wide smiles and walked over to him.

Liu Xin was also tired from jumping, so she stretched out her hand, and Liu Wei came over and sat on the edge of the bed to hug him and undress him: "Do you want to pee? Why don't you pee first?"

Liu Xin nodded, and Liu Wei went out with Liu Xin in her arms.

Liu Xia and Mao'er hugged a little Hades each, and came out to line up outside the toilet.

Liu Yun and Liu Lei saw Liu Chuan standing at the door of the master bedroom and smiling at them, and immediately hugged Liu Xia and Mao'er's neck tightly: "Dad, you go to bed, we are so good, we fell asleep as soon as we peed. "

Liu Chuan walked over, and Da Ma lay on the sofa with a sword: "Well, you two are so good, you didn't even lift the roof of your uncle's house."

It was Liu Yun's turn to urinate, and he hugged Liu Xia's neck and refused to sit on the toilet: "My uncle, my father, and my brother all pee standing up. If I don't sit, I should pee there. It has become a little Nier, my brother Xin said."

He yelled like this, but he refused to go down to the ground to pee himself, saying that it was because he was not wearing shoes.

Liu Xia urinated on him, but he kept his legs between his legs and refused to urinate: "Uncle, can't be right, the mouth is small, the dick can urinate crookedly, daddy will spank the ass if he dares to urinate on the ground."

Liu Xia was so angry that he slapped him loudly on the buttocks: "Just say that you want to pee in the bathtub and you're done?"

Little Hades bared his teeth and smiled: "Hey."

Mao'er carried Liu Lei directly into the bathroom, and Liu Xia also followed, and the two little Hades competed happily against the bathtub to see who could urinate the most.

When Liu Chuan heard something wrong and ran over, the two little guys said together: "It's my uncle (brother) who told me to pee here!"

Liu Chuan gritted his teeth and said, "Fair, it counts, but if your uncle doesn't have a lot of children in the future, let's see how I deal with you two."

Mao'er couldn't sleep with his uncle in his arms today, and felt very uncomfortable, but Liu Xin firmly refused to sleep next to the two little Hades, but she also refused to sleep on the side. Liu Wei hugged him and lay down on the side.

Liu Rui and Mao'er slept in the middle, separating the two little Hades from Liu Xin.

Mao'er looked at Liu Lei, and he asked Liu Xia to lean on the innermost side to look at Liu Yun, so that at least one side of Liu Xia was empty, and it would be more comfortable to turn over or something.

The two little guys have been excited since they knew they were coming to Rongze in the morning to move their uncle and Brother Liu An, and they have been tossing around with high excitement all day. They are really tired now, and there is another cat here. Standing in front of them, the two of them didn't dare to make any more fools, and fell asleep within 2 minutes of being quiet.

Liu Xia was lying on his left side, and Mao'er was lying on his right side. There were two little guys between them, but it wasn't that far away. Liu Xia stretched out his hand, and Mao'er also stretched out his hand. Liu Xia patted Mao'er's hand and said : "Go to bed too, baby, they are going to pee uncle in the middle of the night, you are more panicked than uncle this day."

The cat said with a smile: "No, I think it's beautiful. Everyone from our family is here. Hehe, I'm so happy."

Liu Xia touched his face distressedly: "You're only twelve, my uncle doesn't want to tell you to be so nice."

Cats like to be clean, and they are especially particular about the bed. As long as they are not family members, he would be disgusted with others sitting on the edge of his and Liu Xia's bed. Every time Wu Xiaolin came to look for Liu Xia, as long as the cat was at home, he would give it to him very politely first. Wu Xiaolin moved a chair for him to sit on, in case he accidentally sat on the bed.

But Liu Yun and Liu Lei are at home, no matter how noisy they are on their bed, the cat will not dislike it, he likes Liu Xin, Liu Yun, and Liu Lei very much, although the age difference is a bit big, he also likes to lead them to play .

But he doesn't want them to affect Liu Xia's work and rest. If Liu Xia pays too much attention to a few little guys, the cat will be very upset, but he will not take the anger of a few little guys , he would play tricks on Liu Xia and bring his attention back to himself.

The bed was too crowded. Liu Xia and Mao'er wanted to make Liu Wei and Liu Rui sleep more comfortably, so they tried to sleep on their sides to take up less space. As a result, their backs and legs ached all night.

Coupled with the fact that Liu Yun and Liu Lei were afraid of wetting the bed, they kept waking up when they slept, and woke up in the middle of the night to pee the two little guys twice. The two of them felt as if they hadn't slept all night.

Sun Chang'e, Xiumei, and Su Xiaohui got up before six o'clock and started to prepare.

At six o'clock, Liu Wei got up with Liu Xin, waking up Liu Rui, Liu Yun and Liu Lei.

Liu Wei gently opened the door, let Liu Kui and Liu Chuan in, and took the two little things out to get dressed.

Mao'er and Liu Xia struggled to open their eyes, and Liu Kui pulled the quilts for them: "You two can sleep a little longer, baby, it's still early, when our mother and your sister-in-law finish making dumplings, I'll call you two again." stand up."

Liu Xia smiled confusedly, turned over and put the cat in his arms, and continued to sleep.

Liu Chuan and Liu Kui led a group of little guys who got up to post couplets together. The couplets were written by Liu Changqing yesterday afternoon. On the entrance door in the front building is:

The first couplet: There is no poor house in the land, and spring is always there. The second couplet: Living with good neighbors is not lonely. Hengbiao: Choose a place to get benevolence.

On the door on the south balcony is: The mountains are far away as companions, the willows near the shore are the city, and the banner is written: Yanhe Delin.

The original couplet of the couplet on the balcony was "Flowers in the Far Mountains" and the second couplet was "Liu Weicheng near the shore", which didn't match Liu Xia's new living environment at all. To make Liu Xia and the little guy happy, he chose this couplet.

After Maoer saw it, he insisted on changing the upper and lower couplets to include Liu Xia's name, but if both the upper and lower couplets had the word "Liu", it would be a bit too white. After a few people thought about it together, they finally gave It has been changed to the current appearance. Although it is not neat enough to fight, it is not out of line at first glance.

Liu Changqing has never been pedantic and dull in this kind of thing. He believes that the poems and songs that have been handed down through the ages are also written by people. The people who wrote them at that time must have written them according to their situation at that time.

Now, ordinary people like them temporarily borrow a pair of couplets, which is not included in history or canon, but just to suit their current situation. It doesn't hurt to change two words to make their children happy.

The cat is indeed very, very happy for this couplet.

At seven o'clock, the dumplings had already been packed for three big beats, and Chenshi was here, but Liu Changqing asked to set off firecrackers a little later: "There are two hours in Chenshi, don't worry, all the people living in this yard are working people, and today we will go to work." On Sunday, people at work are usually nervous, so it’s rare to sleep a little longer on Sunday, it doesn’t matter if we are later, as long as it’s in Chenshi, let’s play it at eight o’clock.”

At eight o'clock, Liu Xia and Mao'er were awakened by the sound of firecrackers, jumped out of bed, opened the curtains and looked out:

Liu Wei was holding a long fire whip on a bamboo pole, sparks splashed and danced around the whip; Liu Xin, Liu Yun, and Liu Lei covered their ears and jumped and shouted, Liu Kui, Liu Chuan, Liu Yu and Liu Rui stood aside, watching and laughing.

Liu Xia stretched his waist, and Maoer followed, and then the two of them ran out together at the same time: "Come on, move to a new house—eating dumplings—"
