Chapter 557 Finally moved to a new home
However, her youngest son was extremely knowledgeable, even more outstanding than her eldest son.
The teacher said that if the imperial examination were restored, he would definitely be on the list.
Well, she felt that if her son could really earn a future for himself, he deserved a better noble lady.
It was not until the Dragon Raises Its Head on February 2 that news came to the capital from the north again, saying that all the remaining troops of Tai'a Lu had been wiped out.
This northern expedition finally came to a successful conclusion, and there was no Northern Yuan Dynasty from then on.
It was also on this day that the nine tribes moved collectively.
The dragon raising its head symbolizes the return of spring and the revival of all things. People believe that this day is a good day with increased yang energy, more rain and rising temperatures, making it an auspicious day.
Moving on such a day signifies good fortune for the family, and it will prosper like a dragon raising its head, ushering in a new atmosphere and vitality.
In fact, the things at home had been slowly being moved into the new house. When we say moving, we just mean moving the pots, pans, and other things in.
But this time, every household moved from the old mud houses to new Chinese-style villas with their own doors and courtyards.
Shen Zhiqiu and the others were very clear about the decoration of the house.
Every room not only has flooring on the ground, but also has a waxed ceiling. Every room even has a plastic light guide system installed.
Only the windows are made of plastic panels, without glass. Otherwise, it would be no different from a modern villa.
Shen Youyou's home is a small courtyard with three entrances. Although there are many rooms, most of them are empty.
Their whole family lived in the main house of the second courtyard. The east wing was where Li Quan and Dahu and Erhu lived, and the west wing was used as a study and tea room, which were used for leisure and entertaining guests.
Of course, if you have guests, it can also be used as a guest room.
The back house in the third courtyard is temporarily used as a warehouse.
To be honest, it's a bit of a waste of talent for a family with only a few people to build a three-yard house.
But my great grandfather said that Shen Zhiqiu would become a high-ranking official in the future, and his house would definitely be the best among their group.
Of course, my great-grandfather's house, Old Man Shen's house, Hunter Gao, and families with many people also have three courtyards like this.
But after all, what Shen Zhiqiu was most satisfied with was the balcony connecting his main house and the east and west wing rooms.
He also put two lounge chairs and a small coffee table on the balcony. When the sun gets brighter, he can put up a big parasol and sit on the balcony to drink tea and read books.
Or you can invite one or two friends to play chess and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Fangshan not far away.
Of course, barbecue in summer and hot pot in winter are also good.
The most romantic thing he can think of is to take his wife and children to different places to have a good meal.
In this regard, he and his daughter are definitely close father and daughter, because when Shen Youyou was drawing the blueprints, he specially added balconies to the three house models.
She believes that no matter how busy life is, a sense of ritual is needed.
It should be said that their family of four were quite satisfied with the design, but Luming was just there to make up the numbers because he thought whatever his sister said was good.
But when Mrs. Hua first saw the blueprint, her first reaction was: "How much will this cost? Can so many houses be lived in? I think we can just build a yard together."
At that time, the old lady even advised Shen Zhiqiu privately, saying: "Build the house properly, don't just listen to what Yoyo says. Look at the weird look, it's not solemn at all."
But Shen Zhiqiu killed her instantly with one sentence: "When it comes to enjoying life, my daughter is better than all of us combined. A house is the most intuitive way to enjoy life."
The old lady thought about it and realized that at least all of them combined didn't enjoy it as much as Yoyo did. She admitted this and didn't care.
After the house was finished,
Not to mention the entire nine clans, even the villagers from Tangjia Village who came to visit, including the builders of the houses, were stunned.
This time it really opened my eyes.
It turns out that a house can be built like this, and the interior can be decorated like this?
Shen Douzi's wife secretly told other women in the Nine Clans:
"Fortunately, I refrained from expressing my opinion when I first saw the blueprints. At the time, I thought this kind of house was too different. I didn't expect it to be so grand."
Tietou's wife also nodded repeatedly:
"You know what? From the time the project was completed until now, I have always felt it is unreal. Even after we moved in today, I still feel like I am dreaming. Who are we to live in a house like this one day?"
Shen Zhibei's wife also grinned and agreed: "Yes, yes, I feel like I would be happy to die immediately if I lived in a house like this."
As a result, Cui Fen'er scolded him: "What nonsense are you talking about? There is more than one auspicious day for moving."
Mrs. Wang also said: "To live in a house like this, I have to work hard to live longer, otherwise I will feel at a loss."
As for why Old Lady Hua didn't express her opinion, it was because at that moment the old lady was nagging her precious granddaughter.
Today we are moving. Actually, there is not much to move, but every household has to cook together. Just like before, each family prepares one dish.
Their house was at the southernmost part, and Shen Zhiqiu had specially built a square, where he hosted a banquet for the whole village at noon.
Of course, at the southernmost part of the square, a large canteen was built, which was ten meters wide and fifteen meters long.
In Shen Youyou's words, everyone in our family is busy, and no one has time to cook for themselves. Even if we don't eat from the same pot, we can still use it for gatherings during the New Year and other festivals, and for meetings.
For this purpose, she even built a stage. She had decided that she would hold a Spring Festival Gala here next year.
We've gone off topic again. Everyone else was busy cooking, and Old Lady Hua was watching her granddaughter suffering from a toothache.
Because since early morning, Shen Youyou started to wipe and rinse the already clean house again.
"Didn't you wipe it two days ago? Why are you wiping it again? You're so old now, why don't you do something serious?"
But her little granddaughter was very reasonable: "Isn't it because I was hanging the curtains and stepped on the bay window again?
Since we are going to clean the bay window again, why not clean other places as well? A lot of dust has come in from moving things these past two days."
Speaking of curtains, the old lady was even more speechless.
The finest sky blue satin was used to make curtains. One layer was not enough, so a layer of white gauze had to be hung on top. I didn’t know what to do with the whole window.
With such good cloth, wouldn’t it be nice to make two more clothes?
What made the old lady even more helpless was that after Shen Youyou decorated her room in this way, the other girls in the family followed suit. Although they were not as wasteful as her little granddaughter, they also bought the finest satin for themselves.
But even if the new fabric is cheap, they can still get the purchase price!
It's a waste to make such big curtains.
What made the old lady feel the most frustrated was that when she said she didn’t need them, her little granddaughter still argued: “Grandma, you’ve already built such a nice house, do you still need the money to buy curtains?
You know, my dad might invite his colleagues home in the future, and then they might see me.
Shen Zhiqiu is not a good person. His own home is decorated so beautifully, but his mother's home is so simple. It's obvious that he is an unfilial son. "
