Chapter 204 The Stomach Sings
After Shi Qingqian walked around the room, the joy on her face gradually faded, replaced by a hint of doubt.
She carefully checked each room again and finally determined a problem that puzzled her - there was no bathroom in the house.
"Huaian, have you noticed that there is no bathroom in this house?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Huaian stopped what he was doing, was stunned for a moment, looked around, and then realized that there was indeed no sign of the bathroom.
"That's a real problem," he said, frowning.
Xu Huaian knew how pampered his wife was. There was no bathroom at home, and she would not squat on the toilet with other people.
Xu Huaian looked at Shi Qingqian's troubled expression and put his arm around her shoulders.
"Don't worry, wife. I'll find a way to solve this problem. I can just ask someone to build a bathroom in the yard. It's not as convenient as having one in the house, but it can solve the problem at hand."
Shi Qingqian nodded slightly.
This is really the only solution right now.
Xu Huaian smiled and gave her a reassuring look: "Don't worry, it won't be too troublesome. When the time comes, go find the comrade in charge of logistics in the military region and see if they can arrange for someone to help."
"Then you should go early tomorrow morning."
Although she could go back to the space to use the bathroom, she couldn't stay like this forever, so the bathroom issue had to be resolved as soon as possible.
Xiaodouzi watched them discussing things about the bathroom and felt a little bored, so he skipped downstairs.
The wooden stairs creaked slightly under his small feet.
After a while, I heard Xiaodouzi's excited voice coming from upstairs: "Aunt, Uncle, I have chosen a room!"
Xiaodouzi ran down from upstairs again, his little face flushed with excitement.
He ran to Shi Qingqian and Xu Huaian, his eyes sparkling as he said, "Aunt, Uncle, my room should be next to Grandma's. That way, if I miss Grandma at night, I can find her quickly."
After saying that, Xiaodouzi looked at them expectantly, as if waiting for their consent.
Shi Qingqian smiled, gently touched Xiaodouzi's head, and said, "Okay, Xiaodouzi is really sensible. He knows to stay close to grandma."
At this time, Zhang Lanxiang was filled with joy when she heard Xiaodouzi's words.
She came over, picked up Xiaodouzi, and kissed him on the cheek again and again, calling him: "Good grandson, grandma's good grandson."
Although Xiaodouzi is not her biological grandson, all of her grandchildren are like mud monkeys.
Another point is that the children in the village have to chop grass for pigs and collect firewood in the mountains from a very young age. In addition, the conditions in the village are not as good as those in the city, so most of the children raised there are dark and thin.
Unlike Xiaodouzi, although he didn't have a good life before, Zhang Lanxiang and A Miao have been stuffing him with all kinds of delicious food during this period, and he is now plump and white, like a lucky doll, and he is pleasing to the eye.
Not to mention that Zhang Lanxiang is obsessed with looks, otherwise she wouldn't have followed Xu's father, who only wanted a shabby house.
It's all because of his handsome face. It confused her.
Xiao Douzi giggled when Zhang Lanxiang kissed him, and his little hands tightly hugged Zhang Lanxiang's neck.
Zhang Lanxiang hugged Xiaodouzi and said happily, "Xiaodouzi is so filial. Grandma is so happy."
Xiaodouzi felt a little embarrassed by the praise. His face turned red and he moved in Zhang Lanxiang's arms.
"Come on, go downstairs with grandma," Zhang Lanxiang put Xiaodouzi down with a smile, took his little hand, and walked downstairs together.
Shi Qingqian and Xu Huaian also followed behind.
As soon as I got downstairs, I saw A Miao walking out of the kitchen.
The kitchen has been tidied up, the pots and pans are neatly arranged, and the stove has been wiped clean.
However, the living room was filled with the things they brought, large and small bags, boxes, piled together in a disorderly manner, almost taking up the entire living room space.
Shi Qingqian frowned slightly and said, "This is really a mess. We need to clean it up quickly."
Xu Huaian nodded, rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'll move the heavier ones first."
Zhang Lanxiang also echoed: "Yes, clean it up quickly, otherwise it will make you feel uncomfortable just looking at it."
The family took immediate action.
Xu Huaian was very strong. He first moved the heavy boxes to the appropriate location, preparing to open and sort them one by one, and put those that were not needed in the empty room on the first floor.
Shi Qingqian is responsible for classifying small items, such as clothes, books, daily necessities, etc.
Zhang Lanxiang brought Xiaodouzi, opened some light packages, took out the contents and arranged them neatly.
Xiaodouzi was not to be outdone. Although he was weak, he ran around actively.
"Grandma, where do I put this?"
"Auntie, do you want to open this box?"
His voice was crisp and energetic.
Ah Miao assisted Shi Qingqian by folding the clothes neatly and putting them into the closet.
She was skilled and efficient.
As time went by, the things in the living room were gradually organized.
The family stopped what they were doing and only then felt deeply tired.
Shi Qingqian was breathing slightly, and she stretched out her hand to smooth her messy hair, her face full of fatigue.
She leaned lightly against the cabinet beside her, feeling her legs as heavy as if they were filled with lead.
She had been sitting on the train for several days and hadn't had a good rest. After being busy packing up this afternoon, she felt like all her strength had been drained.
Xu Huaian stood in the middle of the room. His usually tall and straight figure now looked a little tired. His forehead was slightly sweaty. He slowly walked to the chair, sat down, and let out a long sigh.
Zhang Lanxiang was even more exhausted, after all, she was old. Little Douzi snuggled up to her obediently, his little face full of fatigue.
Although A Miao was busy all afternoon, she was not as exhausted as the others.
Because she is a robot native.
"Everyone must be tired. I'll go cook now," A Miao turned and went into the kitchen.
They brought all the leftover rice and flour from home.
There were also vegetables in the fields, and A Miao took away everything that could be taken away.
So there is no need to worry about having no food to eat today.
The aroma of food soon wafted from the kitchen.
After a while, A Miao came out of the kitchen with food.
Steamed cured pork ribs, fried bacon with radish, stir-fried vegetables, and egg drop soup.
The family looked at the food that A Miao brought out. Although they were exhausted, the aroma of the food still whetted their appetite.
Shi Qingqian looked at the food and her tiredness eased a little.
Everyone sat around the dining table. Xiaodouzi looked at the food and his stomach growled, which made everyone laugh.
"My stomach is singing," said Xiaodouzi, holding his stomach.
"Haha, our little Douzi is so amazing, his belly can even sing," Zhang Lanxiang smiled and touched little Douzi's head.
Everyone's laughter made the atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly relaxed.
