Transmigrated & Triumphant: Defying Destiny's Chosen One-Chapter 581 - 73: Finally Moved_2
As per Da Dan’s request, there are three stove tops, just like in Ning City, with high and low shelves built to accommodate his various jars and pots.
Next to it is a door without any cover, and upon entering—
"What’s this empty room for?"
Chen Changhai laughed: "Winters in Beijing are especially cold. You need to burn the kang here, which uses up a lot of firewood. This room is specifically for storing firewood, so it’s not all in the yard, which isn’t convenient or nice to look at."
Since they just moved in, they’re planning to buy a couple of small coal stoves later when it gets colder. They’ll also store coal bricks here, which will make it even more convenient.
This is a little bit of Chen Changhai’s self-interest.
They still need to continue their work, and for piecing parts together efficiently, naturally, the tidier the yard, the better. All this firewood, coal, and such should be stuffed into the room if possible.
But it is indeed convenient. Many large yards around here are arranged like this.
Chu River, on the other hand, didn’t anticipate this and distilled it down to one key point—
"The room is so big, we can even set up a dining table here to eat when it gets cold!"
This way, you won’t have to worry about dishes getting cold from being carried back and forth...
Perfect!
Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but give Chen Changhai a look of approval.
Chen Changhai: ...
Though being praised feels nice, something seems off about being commended for this...
Although, it’s true that locals often eat in this side room.
Meanwhile, Da Dan was in the kitchen, excitedly exclaiming with the other kids:
"Wow! Such a big stove!"
"Auntie, we only brought two large pots!" We’ll have to buy more!
"This rack is really sturdy!"
As the lord of the kitchen, Da Dan’s satisfaction was visible to the naked eye.
Chen Changhai was inwardly elated, and with a sense of pride, he reached out and pulled something by the wall—
There was a "click," and the light turned on!
The room, which already had open windows, became even brighter!
"It even has electric lights!"
Everyone was delighted.
Da Dan counted on his fingers—if the kitchen has lights, other places must have no shortage. There’s also a faucet...
No wonder Uncle Chen said buying the house was 1100, but arranging it all cost seven or eight hundred... It was truly worth it!
This price is not expensive at all!
...
But ultimately, Chu River wasn’t interested in the kitchen’s current emptiness.
She glanced around and then chose a room on the right, pushing the door—
In the middle of a large room, a thin wooden board divided it into two rooms, and each room had a large kang about 1.8 meters long built against the wall.
Though barren now and uncomfortable to look at, this... this also meant the end of the children’s bunk bed life.
Now, everyone could have their own individual room! Especially since besides the bed, there was even a small table and chair in the room.
Oh my! The kids were overwhelmed with delight and couldn’t suppress their joy, feeling that life was just wonderful.
It was like living in a fairy tale!
While living in bunk beds was fun, growing up, who wouldn’t want their own room!
Thinking about the savings passbook in his pocket, Da Dan couldn’t help but feel his heart race. If 1100 could buy such a big yard, he could afford it too!
If any neighbors wanted to sell, he’d buy it. Knocking down a wall would make the courtyard even bigger, wouldn’t it?
This way, when they settle down and have a family, it wouldn’t feel noisy and cramped.
Life had made this young teenager overly mature, and his thoughts were so far ahead that no one could keep up.
But that wasn’t the main point at the moment.
Chu River checked each room, satisfied to the utmost—
The house might have been inspired by ancient designs, with the central rooms clearly larger and more luxurious, which made Capital River very pleased—
As the head of the family, her living space naturally had to be a bit finer.
Just like how she had to eat the most at every meal.
Wait a minute...
"Where’s the cellar?"
This was of utmost importance.
Chen Changhai sighed—such a nice house, yet all she could think about was the cellar? He had been in charge of filling in the cellar in Ning City these last few years, so the memory was vivid.
With a helpless sigh, he pointed to the corner at the edge on the right side of the kitchen:
"There, under the locked wooden board."
Chu River nodded, now basically satisfied.
...
Just as they were pondering, Shi Suifeng came in, carrying an old but well-maintained shiny sewing machine.
"Daya, where should I put this?"
No one was familiar with the house yet, but Chen Changhai, who single-handedly crafted every room, eagerly stepped forward to guide them:
