67: Chapter 66 Moving (Third Update)

Lin Xia hummed in agreement but harbored different thoughts in her heart; since she said she wanted to move, she didn’t want to stay here a moment longer.

Acting swiftly as there was no reason to search slowly, she planned to expand her search area and ask more people.

So, after a busy day, Lin Xia spent the morning and afternoon looking for houses and the noon and evening off-work hours selling goods.

Lin Xia not only sold all the goods she had, but she finally found a house that suited her needs.

This house was not close to their current residence on Paradise Street, situated near a cinema.

But it was near the roadside, conveniently located, with a small interior but a little courtyard.

Lin Xia knew that a row of commercial buildings would be built here later, but for now, they were all bungalows.

The rent wasn’t cheap, ten yuan a month!

Lin Xia wouldn’t have known this house was for rent if she hadn’t asked quite a few people and found out by chance.

The landlord was the leader of a car fleet, surnamed Guo, who had a house near his unit, so this place was vacated.

After some effort, she found this man who said the house was in good condition, ready to move in with furniture, so the price was not reduced at all, exactly ten yuan.

Lin Xia decided to check the house before making a decision and after seeing it, she was truly satisfied.

Lin Xia gritted her teeth and rented it, as the place would allow her to start some small business which would be convenient for access.

Moreover, having their own independent residence was something she had long desired.

Lin Xia acted quickly; once she had found the house, she started moving.

As the luggage wasn’t theirs, they didn’t need to move it, only their pots, pans, condiments, grains, pickled vegetable jars, clothes, and other miscellaneous items.

Of course, Lin Xia didn’t forget the firewood they had split; all of it had to be moved, and she wouldn’t let others benefit from it.

Lin Dong specifically took leave from work, and he joined his older sisters in the move.

Since the move came so suddenly and Lin Chun didn’t make it, they decided to move the family first and later visit their eldest brother’s workplace to tell him where they had moved.

Mrs.

Xu saw Lin Xia and her siblings moving items in and out, and she came out of the house, “So, you’ve found a house?”

She truly hadn’t expected these kids to find one so quickly, and the thought of pulling two yuan out of her pocket made her heart sink a bit.

But being of her advanced age and having spoken out, she couldn’t go back on her word.

“Yes, we found it!

Mrs.

Xu, the luggage is in the house, please check it,” Lin Xia said indifferently.

Since she didn’t intend to have further dealings with Mrs.

Xu, she felt no need to be embarrassed.

“Ah, okay!” Mrs.

Xu went inside and checked the neatly packed three sets of luggage, not missing a single mattress, pillow, or blanket.

With pursed lips, Mrs.

Xu took out a mix of one and two cent coins from her pocket, counted them, and handed them to Lin Xia, “Xiaolin, here are two yuan!”

Lin Xia counted them on the spot, “Just right!”

Mrs.

Xu wanted to say something else, but seeing Lin Xia’s indifferent demeanor, she kept her mouth shut.

On her last trip, Lin Xia cleaned up the firewood and left the place with her younger brother.

Once in the courtyard of their new home, Lin Dong started unloading the firewood while Lin Qiu tidied up inside.

Once Lin Dong had finished unloading, Lin Xia asked him to join her in buying luggage.

They didn’t have the necessary bedding for the evening, so everything needed to be bought new, but with money in her pocket now, she could afford whatever was needed.

They ended up buying ready-made items, as well as an axe and handsaw, and even some needles, threads, and other little bits and pieces.

After running back and forth twice, they also bought some grains and vegetables, and were lucky enough to encounter a meat vendor.

Lin Xia generously bought a large chunk of meat.

Lin Xia checked the time and felt it was about right.

She asked Lin Dong to go to Lin Chun’s workplace to find him and have him come over, to avoid any mishaps with visiting the old Xu family later.

Lin Xia and Lin Qiu cleaned up together.

The layout of the house had a kitchen right by the entrance and two bedrooms on either side, none with the traditional Chinese kang beds but just one large kang. freewebnoveℓ.com

The two of them decided that they would live in the Eastern House and have Lin Dong and their elder brother stay in the Western House.

When Lin Chun arrived with Lin Dong, on their way there, Lin Dong had enlightened him about the various merits of their new home.

Lin Chun couldn’t help but admire his younger sister’s capability all over again!

Upon seeing Lin Chun arrive, Lin Xia asked with a smile, “Big brother!

What do you think of our new home?”

Lin Chun looked around inside and out, “This time, it really does seem like a place to settle down for a good life!

Now that we have a storage room and a firewood shed, it’s quite convenient!

Xiaoxia!

How much is the rent?”

“Ten yuan!” Lin Xia didn’t intend to keep it from them.

“What?

Ten yuan?” Lin Chun was astonished, “This house isn’t cheap!” How much do they earn in a month anyway?

Lin Dong and Lin Qiu had already asked their older sister about this, so they were mentally prepared.

“It’s expensive for a reason!

Once we close the door, we can live a good and peaceful life!

No one will say anything!” Lin Xia felt it was okay to pay more, as long as they were comfortable.

“That’s true!

Xiaoxia!

Don’t bother about what others say!” Lin Chun advised her further.

“I know!

Big brother!

I really don’t care!” Lin Xia looked at them, “You three keep tidying up and working; I’ll go to the kitchen and show off my skills.

Let’s have a great meal tonight!”

She decided that on their first meal in the new home, while her elder brother was also there, they should have a warm and lively gathering.

“Okay!

Big sister!

I’ll definitely do a good job!” Lin Dong responded gleefully, knowing his big sister was going to make braised pork.

He had grown up without knowing what braised pork even tasted like.

But just thinking about it made it seem delicious!

Lin Xia ruffled his buzz-cut, “Alright!

Work hard!”

Remembering the last time they had dumplings, Lin Dong teased Lin Chun, “Big brother!

Can your stomach handle that braised pork?”

Lin Chun glared, “What?

Thinking if I can’t eat it, you can have my share?”

Seeing how lively his younger brother had become made him truly happy.

Saying what should be said at any given time, that’s exactly how Lin Dong at his age should behave.

“Hehe!

I’m just asking!” Lin Dong scratched the back of his head, “Big brother!

Did you drink the Lingzhi water our big sister told you to?”

Lin Chun nodded with a smile, “Of course I did!

When your big sister commands, I hurry to follow!

Now, she’s the head of our family!”

He knew Lin Xia wanted the best for him, and after the last incident, he also realized how poorly he had been managing his health over the years.

He needed to take better care of himself to avoid becoming a burden on them — a scenario he was adamant to prevent.

“Hehe!

That’s right!

My big sister really is amazing!”

When it came to listening to someone at home, Lin Dong respected Lin Xia the most.

In his eyes, ever since his big sister recovered from a fever, she had become even more formidable, filling him with both admiration and awe.

As Lin Xia chopped the pork belly into chunks and blanched it in boiling water while listening to their jokes, she felt the beginning of good days.

While cooking, Lin Xia mused over their next steps.
