Chapter 264: Chapter 260: The Two Elders Could Still Have Opinions [Second Update]

——————

Xie Jingchen came back early from his morning exercise and had breakfast while listening to his wife communicating with his parents. Right when it was time for him to go to work, he overheard his wife energetically saying that she was taking the whole family to the county town, leaving him to sort out his own lunch!

"..." Xie Jingchen went to work in a good mood, with a hooked smile on his lips.

Zhang Shanni was the type to act immediately, taking advantage of the fact that it was her husband’s first day at work and he had no time to pay attention to her, she took the family to the small western-style building first.

Xie Tiesheng found it hard to believe when he saw the small western-style building; his son had only gone on one mission, how could he have so much money to buy a small western-style building!

Once he saw the layout of the rooms, he knew his son had prepared it for all of them.

The second floor wasn’t very high, and the elders were in great shape. They could go up to the fourth floor without even getting out of breath, let alone the second.

Xiaoqi and Xiao Si toured the new home hand in hand.

Xie Jingzi heard from Third Sister-in-law that from now on, it would only take about ten minutes to walk to school from here, and if they thought it was too slow, they could even ride a bicycle!

The family’s bicycle belonged to Zhang Shanni, but with her big belly, she couldn’t use it, so it wasn’t sent over. If the little aunt needed it, she could just take it back.

However, Xie Jingzi kept shaking her head. It was only about ten minutes’ walk; it wouldn’t be tiring at all. Besides, Third Sister-in-law didn’t know the big sister well; once something reached her hands, trying to get it back was really difficult.

Of course, Xie Jingzi didn’t know that in Xu Xiaofen’s eyes, one should provoke anyone but Zhang Shanni, and shouldn’t take from her either. It was evident that in Xu Xiaofen’s heart, Zhang Shanni was already viewed as a ’Bossy Girl’.

Especially since she had seen with her own eyes Zhang Shanni carry a nearly three-hundred-pound wild boar home, she made up her mind never to clash with Zhang Shanni in her life!!

Later on, there was also the incident where the Yan Family acknowledged their kin; who would dare to provoke Zhang Shanni after that.

"Well then, about ten minutes’ walk, it’s good to walk for your health!"

The beds in the house were all ready, and because there was only one ready-made wardrobe, Zhang Shanni first gave it to her in-laws; her and little aunt’s could be made slowly. The furniture was also ready-made, and it was previously what Zhang Shanni had liked. However, because the set given by the military had some minor defects but was of good quality, they did not take the masterpiece of the furniture maker.

Now, it ultimately ended up in Zhang Shanni’s home.

As the master craftsman used good materials and the handiwork was meticulous, the furniture was priced high and had not been sold for over a year. Now that it had been over a year, there was no wood smell left, which turned out to be a good deal for Zhang Shanni.

In Zhang Shanni’s view, with a sofa and beds, the basic structure of a home was established.

Yesterday, her main purchases were some daily necessities and fabrics, then taking advantage of locking the door and her man going to drive, she took out many practical items from the Space and placed them in the guest room.

There were three rooms on the second floor; she gave the big room at the very back to her in-laws to live in, the little aunt lived in the room next to it, and across from her room was Xiaoqi and Xiao Si’s room.

Thinking that they were brother and sister, it was okay for them to share a room when they were young but not when they got older. Thus, she insisted on double beds; in a couple more years, either the siblings would sleep in separate beds, or Xiaoqi would sleep with the little aunt, either way, it would be convenient.

Zhang Shanni took the little aunt to wash the bedding she had prepared first, and then followed her mother-in-law to sort out the kitchen, as she figured that for the next six months, she would probably be the main one running the kitchen, so everything was prepared according to her mother-in-law’s preferences.

Xie Tiesheng felt particularly responsible, leading Xiao Si and Xiaoqi to the yard, where he was heartbroken upon seeing the nearly withered plants. Despite not recognizing the fruit trees, he immediately began tending to them.

Although Xiao Si was only seven years old, at home he had always been responsible for taking care of his younger siblings, very clever and well-behaved. When his older brothers went to school, it was he who led his younger siblings to collect firewood or dig for chicken feed. With such chores, he was far from inexperienced.

Xiaoqi, upon seeing a neatly built small chicken coop under a large tree in the yard, happily said to Xie Tiesheng:

"Grandpa, Xiaoqi can feed the chickens now! Once we have eggs, I can make steamed eggs for my younger brothers and sisters!"

"Mmm, good, in a few days, Grandpa will get you some chicks, then Xiaoqi can raise little chickens!" Xie Tiesheng agreed cheerfully, by now completely forgetting his previous promise to send Xiaoqi and Xiao Si to kindergarten!

Clearly, the elderly man was also very happy for his son San’er upon seeing such a yard.

It was a significant joy for him to see his child become successful enough to acquire property elsewhere.

As for the big decision of San’er’s house purchase without his parents being involved to check it out, Xie Jingchen gave this explanation:

He had taken a liking to the house two years earlier but had not had enough money to buy it at the time, and the seller had lost interest in selling. When he heard that the seller wanted to sell again and he just happened to have some money, he bought it immediately.

He completely omitted Zhang Shan Ni’s opinions, claiming it was something he himself had set his heart on two years ago.

With such an explanation, what objections could the elders have? If they did have any concerns, it would be out of righteousness for San’er’s sake... Thinking he had set his eyes on it two years ago but didn’t manage to buy it because of Fifth’s school whereabouts,

With this in mind, the elders certainly would not think of Zhang Shan Ni.

The whole family was extremely busy and cheerful in their new home, with Zhou Xiuhua being particularly considerate, prioritizing the kitchen. After all, they needed to solve the problem of lunch first, right? Only when the kitchen was sorted out could they have a meal!

Fortunately, the ingredients Zhang Shan Ni brought out were sufficient. They could buy oil and salt locally; they had rice. After some thought, they simply went to the neighborhood to buy essentials, got some eggs, picked the old chives and green onions on the balcony, and made chive scrambled eggs and steamed water eggs. Lastly, there was the spiced meat that Zhang Shan Ni had specifically bought.

Xiaoqi was the most thoughtful, eating while saying that the spiced meat wasn’t as delicious as Second Aunt’s and wasn’t worth much!

This amused the old lady greatly!

The task for the afternoon was simple. Since they had already hired people to clean before, they wouldn’t be too tired doing it themselves. Zhang Shan Ni’s belly was too conspicuous, so no one dared to tire her out.

By the time Zhang Shan Ni got up from her nap on the new bed, the house was noticeably well-ordered.

Since Zhang Shan Ni had changed the locks, there were a total of six keys to the new lock. Zhang Shan Ni gave one each to her in-laws and also made one for her little aunt. Since Xiao Si and Xiaoqi were too young, she didn’t give them keys but told them quietly where the spare key for the family would be hidden and instructed them not to tell any outsiders.

Xiao Si and Xiaoqi were not foolish, and immediately nodded in agreement.

Just right, with a total of six keys, everyone had one.

Seeing that it was almost four o’clock in the afternoon, the family reluctantly returned to their military housing.

There were no clothes here; if they wanted to stay, they would have to wait another couple of days.

Ever since acquiring this new house, the frown that had always been etched on Xie Tiesheng’s face had finally relaxed! Even Zhou Xiuhua was beaming with joy all the way, and the family seemed extraordinarily happy.
