Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

Chapter 174 New House, I Can’t Wait to Move In

After Su Yanyan and her family left, Zhao Chengfeng came out to clarify, saying that there was no theft in the county magistrate's mansion, but that he had put the things somewhere else and forgot about them, which caused a misunderstanding. In the end, the matter was left unresolved.

After finishing his work in the city, Yao Qingnian returned to the village. Thinking that he had not been to the new house for some days, he went to take a look.

The construction of the house was almost finished. Shi Yongshan and a few others were making cabinets and beds. Some finished furniture were piled in the yard.

"Girl, your house is almost built. I'm making some furniture these two days. Once the furniture is ready, you can move into your new house in a few days," Shi Yongshan said with a smile when he saw Yao Qingnian coming over.

"Okay, I'll go in and take a look."

The new house was built in more than two months, which was much faster than expected. When I entered the yard, I saw that it was cleaned up very neatly. The rooms and wing rooms were basically restored according to her drawings and looked brand new. The pear tree in the yard was full of fruits, and the table and benches under the tree were replaced with brand new ones.

Except for the land on the right side of the courtyard wall reserved for planting flowers and plants, the entire courtyard is paved with floor tiles, so you don't have to worry about stepping on muddy shoes when it rains. The wall is also covered with broken bottles according to my own requirements, so I don't have to worry about someone climbing the wall in the middle of the night.

In addition to these, Yao Qingnian also made a swing in the yard. Imagine sitting in the yard, drinking tea, feeling the breeze, swinging on the swing when bored, and raising two dogs. Such a life is so comfortable.

The well at the entrance of the kitchen had been dug, so she no longer had to go far to fetch water. She walked over and fetched a bucket of water. The water in the bucket was crystal clear, like a mirror, reflecting the sky and the surrounding scenery. She reached out and gently touched the water, feeling the coolness penetrate her fingertips and spread throughout her body.

"Uncle Yongshan, this house is so well built, I like it very much!"

"I'm glad you like it. By the way, I've made a wardrobe, table, and bed in the room according to your requirements. Take a look and tell me if there's anything missing. This is the first time I've made a wardrobe like yours, and I'm worried that it might not be done well!"

Yao Qingnian walked into the house. It was very spacious, with neatly laid floor tiles. The windows were made into large sliding windows according to Yao Qingnian's requirements. The sunlight poured in through the windows, making the whole house bright and airy. The wardrobe was also of a modern style, allowing her to hang as many clothes as she wanted. It was much better than she had imagined.

"Uncle, I can't wait to move in!"

"As long as you are satisfied, this house makes me jealous. Haha, go back and ask the master to choose a good day for moving in, buy some good things, and you can move in after moving in."

The materials used to build the houses in ancient times are all natural and formaldehyde-free, so they can be moved into directly after they are completed. Unlike modern houses, there is no need to remove formaldehyde after completion and the houses need to be ventilated for at least half a year before people can live in them.

"Okay! Uncle, I'll go back and prepare it now." Hearing that he could live in a new house, Yao Qingnian was happier than ever.

Yao Qingnian walked out of the new yard and looked towards the workshop. The materials used in the workshop were relatively simple, not as particular as those for a blue brick and tile house, so it could be built much faster. Now, the general appearance of the workshop had taken shape.

"Girl, you have so many people working for you in your workshop, it will be finished in about half a month. After you move in, you can come and work on this side, and it will be just in time for us to join."

"Okay, I know."

When she got home, she told the good news to Lu Mingchuan and his wife, and asked Lu Mingchuan to find a fortune teller to pick an auspicious day to prepare for the move-in.

"Daughter-in-law Huaijin, the third day of next month is a good day to move into the new home. Isn't it too rushed?" Lu Mingchuan asked a fortune teller to calculate the date.

"No rush, there are still more than ten days left!" The workshop will be completed in about half a month, so the timing is just right.

"We have to prepare a good feast for the new year this time. Dad, you should go buy a pig when you have time. Also, tell Madam Le the date we have set and let her come to the feast. The feast she prepared at Aunt Yuan's house last time was really good."

"Okay, it's up to you."

People are in high spirits when happy events happen, and the old couple quickly went about their own business.

Yao Qingnian went to the city to buy some things needed for the new house, including new pots, pans, and utensils. He had them all delivered to the shop, filling it up.

Then she went to the rice shop and bought more than ten pounds of flour. The grain had just been harvested, and the family had rice and beans. The rice jar and noodle jar symbolized the family's source of livelihood and wealth. Filling the rice bucket to eight-tenths full meant that the family had sufficient financial resources and a rich life.

Finally, I went to Mrs. Yu’s shop.

"Sister Qingnian, I've been looking forward to seeing you for so long that you're finally here. Come in and sit down!"

Mrs. Yu excitedly began to talk about the purses: "You don't know the purses you sent, they were sold out in just two days. People come to my shop every day to ask if I have any stock. It's all thanks to you."

"Congratulations, you have another income."

"It's to congratulate us. Look, a foreign merchant has placed an order for more than 3,000. I was just anxious to find you, and here you are."

Yao Qingnian was also happy. She didn't expect that this small purse would be so popular.

"Okay, in that case you can't use rags. I'll go to the cloth shop and buy the cloth directly, so you don't have to run back and forth." If they are placing an order in bulk, it won't work to use rags. They have to go to the cloth shop to purchase some material.

"Oh, no problem. This purse is really beautiful. Look, I like it very much." Mrs. Yu took out the purse from her body and couldn't let it go.

After the two agreed on the price of the purse and the time of delivery, Yao Qingnian bought some sheets, quilt covers, curtains, cloth, etc. from Madam Yu's shop.

"You're buying so many things. What good news is this? Could it be that your husband is coming back?" Mrs. Yu teased as she watched her picking so many things.

"You're teasing me again. It's been so many years. How can I come back whenever I want? My family is moving into a new house, so we have to buy new things. Come to the feast if you're free." Yao Qingnian put down the things in his hands.

"Oh! Sister, I've heard that you were building a house a long time ago, and I was thinking of going to your place to have some fun. Congratulations, your new house will be completed and you'll be rich. I'll have to go and ask for a drink then." Mrs. Yu was also very happy for her when she heard that she was going to move into your house.

"Sure, no problem! Plenty of wine! This is a good opportunity for me to take advantage of your status as the boss."

"You are so sweet-talking. Your husband is so lucky to marry you."

"Of course not! I just want these. Please pack them for me, and when Brother Ye comes to deliver the things, ask him to bring them back for me."

"Row!"

The two chatted and laughed while choosing fabrics in the shop...
