Chapter 133: Careful about everything
After Xiaoping's wedding was settled, Mother Zhong's worry was finally put to rest. Although the wedding time was a little rushed, fortunately Xiaogao's family did not take it lightly.
Gao's parents had already built a small courtyard with a separate entrance for Xiao Gao in the village. Although it only had one and a half main rooms, the young couple could live in it spaciously and comfortably.
On the wedding day, little Ruyi carried dumplings and little Jixiang carried a bucket, and the golden boy and girl saw their aunt off in style.
"Her aunt's courtyard is really well maintained, with a main house and a courtyard in between. It would be great if I could have a courtyard like this one someday."
After returning from the wedding, Darong was still envious of Xiaoping's small courtyard.
"Then let's save money and go back to the village to build one. It will take some effort in town, but we can save for a few years in the village and build one."
"cut……"
Darong rolled her eyes at Zhong Yunxing. He knew very well that she was unwilling to go back to the village, but he was still teasing her in a nonsensical way.
After Xiaoping got married, the weather gradually became colder. Xiao Ruyi often fell ill due to her poor physical condition, so during that time, she was taken back to Erdaohezi by Zhong's mother.
Now that Xiao Ruyi has grown up, Darong no longer has to run to Erdaohezi every day. She can have a good rest at home after get off work.
"Mom, what are we going to eat tonight?"
After work, Darong went straight back to her parents' home in the backyard. Today, when Zhong Yunxing was at work, he told her that he was going out to eat with his colleagues in the evening, and Darong was too lazy to go home and cook.
"Stew some meat and stir-fry two dishes for dinner. Your father will be home to eat today."
Since the establishment of Darong's father's engineering team, the family's living conditions have become more and more affluent. Darong's father has to follow the construction all the time, so Darong hasn't seen him for many days.
"Okay, I'll do it. You just take a rest and don't worry about it." When Darong heard that her father was going to come back, she was very happy and went into the kitchen to get busy.
"What time is it? Why are you in such a hurry?" Darong's mother walked to the door holding little Linlin and looked at Darong happily.
"I'll stew the meat first, and then everything else will be easy."
After Darong finished cleaning up and stewed the meat, she went into the house and sat down to rest.
"I discussed it with your father and we plan to buy a yard and move out."
After Darong entered the house, Darong's mother told her her thoughts.
"Why do you suddenly want to move away?" Darong asked casually after feeding Xiaolinlin a bite of apple.
"The third child will be getting married next year, so he will need a house. We have some savings now, enough to buy a yard. But if we buy a new house and give it directly to the third child, he might not agree. So it's more appropriate for your father and I to take Xiaoying and move out."
Darong snorted and nodded, "Yes, that's right." If the third child was really given a yard to live in, Xiao Ling would have to choose the roof.
At dinner time in the evening, the third and fourth generations and their spouses also returned home. It was really lively with the whole family crowded in one room.
"Mom, you see, the third child is getting married soon, and Yuxiu doesn't know how to use a sewing machine. Why don't you give me your sewing machine? It would be inappropriate to wait until she gets married before giving it to her."
Xiao Ling was really considerate of others. A sewing machine was considered a big item in that era. She was afraid that Darong's mother would be caught between her two daughters-in-law, so she had already thought of a solution for Darong's mother.
"I still use that sewing machine myself. If I give it to you, I won't be able to use it to make clothes in the future." Darong's mother looked at Xiao Ling speechlessly.
"Hey, why are you still working so hard? Just tell me what you want to make and I'll make it for you. Besides, when her uncle has a baby, you won't have time to make clothes."
The third brother looked at Xiao Ling with disdain and smiled. Sometimes he really looked down on his sister-in-law, but he was just too lazy to argue with her.
Darong's mother smiled bitterly and did not continue talking to Xiao Ling. To be honest, Xiao Ling did have her merits. She was thick-skinned enough that she would not feel embarrassed if anyone ignored her. She was strong and magnanimous at heart.
"It just so happens that you are all here today. I have discussed it with your mother and have found a house behind the coal yard. We will move there after the New Year. This house will be left for Huazi to use when he gets married."
After taking a sip of tea, Darong's father said to the children.
Darong was not surprised at all because she had heard about it from her mother a long time ago. After all, she was a daughter and was now living in her mother's house, so naturally she would not have any objection.
Xiao Ling, on the other hand, rolled her eyes.
"Dad, you see, it's a bit crowded for me, my fourth brother and my children to live in that room. Why don't we move to this room and let the third brother use the front yard for his wedding."
Darong's father laughed after hearing this. Darong's mother really saw into Xiao Ling's true nature.
After Darong's father and mother looked at the house, Darong's mother said that if the one and a half rooms here were given up, Xiao Ling, the gossipy girl, would definitely not keep quiet and let the third child live there.
As expected, as soon as Darong's father finished speaking, Xiao Ling immediately joined in the argument.
"You're such a jerk, just shut up."
The four generations were a little annoyed by what they heard, and they didn't care that it was in front of the whole family, so they just started scolding Xiao Ling.
"Why do I have so much trouble? It's just that I can't squeeze in. Isn't it you who say every day that it's uncomfortable to sleep in a crowded place..."
"Okay, okay, sister-in-law, you can live there. You can choose any place you want. As long as our parents agree, I will give you the newly bought yard. You can live there without any worries."
Although the third brother was cheerful, his tone was full of sarcasm. Only someone like Xiao Ling would continue to argue with the fourth generation and make himself bored.
Xiao Ling and Sibei had a few arguments. Sibei could not say anything reasonable except cursing. Xiao Ling, on the other hand, was very eloquent. She said that she lived in a crowded place with her children, and then she used the fact that Sibei was the eldest son.
"You two brothers should discuss it among yourselves. There are only two rooms in the house anyway. Just arrange it however you agree."
After listening to a few words, Darong's mother felt a little disgusted. She didn't want to discuss the matter anymore and simply left it to the two brothers to solve it themselves.
At first, the third child was unwilling to give in to Xiao Ling. He wanted to let his sister live in the room and a half in the backyard, and the two rooms in the front yard would be the same size, so Xiao Ling would stop being pretentious.
But Darong didn't want to take advantage any more, and she did some ideological work on the third brother. After all, if he and Xiao Ling lived in the same room next to each other and saw each other every day, he would be somewhat annoyed.
In the end, the third brother gave the backyard to Xiao Ling, and he and Darong lived in the front yard. This time the little turmoil was resolved smoothly.
