The owner of the house in front slept on a wooden bed. Shen Gongqi thought that he had two children at home and it was still cold, so he asked the introducer if there were any kang builders around.
On the same day, we hired people to build kangs for the main room and the master bedroom.
While the workers were building the kang, he and Wang Junyu cleared away some debris left by the previous owner of the house that they no longer needed in the yard.
Everything that could be used as firewood was chopped and stacked in the corner of the yard.
If you don't need it, put it in a sack and throw it away when you leave.
The other room of the three rooms is a utility room. The family used to cook and built a simple small house on the right side of the three rooms, with a small stove in it.
Shen Gongqi also asked a kang master to build a kang stove in the empty room on the other side of the main room. It was the same as at home and could hold two pots.
As for the original kitchen, it was demolished. He and Wang Junyu expanded the original kitchen and erected a few sticks to build a shed for stacking firewood.
After the kang in the house was built, Shen Gongqi called the master and built the stove as well. The remaining pot openings were the size of the two pots in the yard at home.
After the stove was finished, Shen Gongqi paid him the wages. After seeing off the master, he and Wang Junyu also locked the doors and windows and went to a state-owned hotel for lunch before taking a bus back to town.
When the two of them arrived in the town, they had already had a lot of pastries in the afternoon, and the ox carts coming out of the village had already returned to the village.
The two of them walked back to the village, where it was already getting dark.
"Jun Yu, it's getting late. You should go back and rest early. Tomorrow, I have to ask you to help me and your sister-in-law move some things to the county," Shen Gongqi said when they reached the fork.
"Okay Brother Qi, then I will go to your house to find you tomorrow morning and then go back. Please be careful on the way," Wang Junyu said
"Yeah, see you tomorrow then" Shen Gongqi said
"Ok, see you tomorrow"
After the two separated, Shen Gongqi continued walking towards home, and arrived home seven or eight minutes later.
Fang Nuoyi was waiting for him to come back for dinner. When she heard the door closing in the yard, she walked out and saw Shen Gongqi coming back.
"I'm back, let's go inside for dinner." Fang Nuo said as he pulled Re into the room.
"Huh? Have you eaten?" Shen Gongqi asked
"Not yet. Yaya ate a lot in the afternoon and is not hungry yet, so I thought we would eat together when you come back," Fang Nuo said
"Fool, you don't have to wait for me to come back next time. You can eat it first when it's ready, you know?" Shen Gongqi said
"I know, let's eat first." Fang Nuo scooped up a bowl of hot soup and handed it to him.
After dinner, Fang Nuo put away the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen and asked Shen Gongqi to bring the hot water, and the two of them went back to the house to wash up.
After cleaning the two children and tidying themselves up, they took the children and lay down on the kang.
"Have you bought a suitable yard?" Fang Nuo asked.
"After we bought it, we looked around the yard as soon as we went there. The yard we finally bought didn't have a kang, so I asked a master to build a kang. When we all move in, we can burn it and sleep." Shen Gongqi said
"How many rooms are there in the yard? Is the yard big?" Fang Nuo asked.
She was afraid that the yards in the city were not big enough and she would not be able to realize her wish to have free vegetables. If that were the case, she would not want to move to the city.
"There are three rooms. The main room and living room are the same as our new house. There is also an empty room next to it. I turned it into a kitchen. There can be a lot of things in it.
The yard is also very large. If you like, you can dig it out and plant your favorite vegetables, leaving only one or two paths that you can walk on.
There is no toilet in the yard. After we all move in, I will dig one myself. Then the bathroom will be built next to it, so we don’t have to take a shower in the house." Shen Gongqi took everyone in the yard with her. said
"That's good, as long as you can grow vegetables. Otherwise, if you, a worker, take our family to the city, we are afraid that the vegetable stamps you issue will not be enough for our family to eat.
By the way, Brother Qi, can I raise chickens in the yard? I want to raise two hens to lay eggs to replenish the children's health, otherwise it would not be cheap to buy them out," Fang Nuo asked.
"Okay, this time we will kill all the chickens in the backyard and make them into bacon chickens. We will keep two hens in baskets and take them to the county to raise them so that we can eat eggs as soon as possible," Shen Gongqi said.
"Okay, let's go to bed early. We have to get up early tomorrow morning to kill chickens, and we have to pack things to be moved to the county," Fang Nuo said.
"Well, go to sleep"
The two of them didn't speak anymore, and soon the sound of even breathing could be heard.
Early the next morning, Shen Gongqi got up early, burned the stove in the yard, heated two large pots of water, and then went to the backyard to catch chickens.
He kept two and took them to the county, but killed all the rest. After scalding and plucking them, he cut open their stomachs, cleaned out all the internal organs, and cleaned them up separately later.
Spread the prepared whole chicken with the appropriate salt, then marinate it for two or three days, then hang it up to dry.
Put all the salt in a bucket and carry it to the county. Then it will be salted and dried in the county.
Fang Nuo got up and saw that he had killed the chicken and marinated it, so he consciously went to the kitchen to make breakfast.
Knowing that Wang Junyu was coming to help with the move today, she made more breakfast.
When Wang Junyu arrived at Shen's house, they started to have breakfast.
After eating, Fang Nuo went to the house and left one or two sets of clothes that his family would wear out in the near future at home. The rest were packed into large wooden cabinets and taken to the county.
Then there are the two children's toys, some small stuffed animals she made for them, the second child's small quilt and clean diapers, all put into a wooden box.
She also packed up all the leftover brown sugar, melon seeds, and shortbread cookies at home, otherwise they would become stale if kept for a long time.
Shen Gongqi first folded the quilt that she had prepared for him to take to the county dormitory, and then wrapped it and tied it up with old sheets.
As for the two large iron pots in the courtyard, he also took them out, packed them, put them in sacks, and put them aside.
Fang Nuo put away the family's clothes and some food, and went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.
Today Shen Gongqi also asked his friend to drive and help pull things, so she had to make a lunch for them.
Shen Gongqi cut the cleaned chicken giblets into a knife, then went to the jar to grab some pickled peppers and ginger, cut them and set aside, and fried the pickled pepper chicken giblets.
Then there are a few home-cooked side dishes, all prepared and placed on the Kang table in the room.
Fang Nuo came out of the house, found Shen Gongqi and asked, "Brother Qi, is your brother here? Go to the entrance of the village and have a look."
"Okay, I'll go right away, you take a rest first." Shen Gongqi saw that she had been busy all morning, so he was afraid that she would be tired, so he asked her to take a rest first.
