Chapter 403 Moving to a new home
The auspicious time to move on New Year’s Day is three o’clock in the morning.
The family went to bed at eight o'clock in the evening and woke up on time at two thirty in the morning. After brushing their teeth and washing their faces, everyone moved from the old house to the new house, holding something with a good meaning in their hands.
The custom of entering the house is different from what Jiang Xia had seen online before.
Father Zhou was the first to go in. He carried a cage of chickens in his hand and went into the house first.
There are also two oranges, a red envelope and longan leaves tied to the chicken coop.
Mother Zhou came in second, carrying a bucket of water. There were also two oranges and a red envelope tied to the bucket. There were longan leaves and arborvitae leaves in the water.
Zhou Chenglei followed, carrying a basket with rice in one end and paddy in the other.
There are also red envelopes, oranges and arborvitae leaves placed on the rice and paddy.
He also held two round dustpans without holes, one large and one small, with oranges and red envelopes also hung on them.
Jiang Xia was carrying a basket, which contained abacus, scale beams, mirrors, rulers, apples, grain seeds, coins, candies, pork, oil lamps, cakes, etc., as well as two pairs of new pants for the couple.
In the end, Zhou Zhou was holding two sugar canes with red envelopes tied on them.
In short, everyone cannot enter the house empty-handed.
The custom is that the things that the hostess Jiang Xia brought to her new home were the richest, but fortunately they were not too heavy.
The heaviest grain was carried by Zhou Chenglei.
When the family walked out of the old house, they saw Zhou Bingqiang's family approaching, each carrying a load of things. Everyone held flashlights in their hands for lighting.
Wen Wan took a photo of Jiang Xia and took a look at what Jiang Xia picked.
I found that everyone picked almost the same things, they should be the same.
But their homes are far away, and Wen Wan’s shoulders are hurting!
At this time, neither of them said hello to each other, nor could they say hello.
Everyone opened the courtyard door and entered the house.
The family lined up to enter the house. As soon as Zhou Chenglei entered the house, he put down his burden and turned around to take Jiang Xia's burden: "Is it heavy?"
Jiang Xia: "It's not heavy, it's only about ten meters. It’s only a few steps away, so I’m not afraid of it even if it’s heavy.”
No matter how heavy the burden is, she is willing to bear it a few more times!
What Zhou Chenglei was thinking about was the house in the city. When the time comes to move to a new home, Jiang Xia will still have to carry such a load of things up the stairs, which will not be as convenient as it is now.
He thinks these are unnecessary!
The custom of entering a house varies from place to place, just bring something with good meaning into it.
What kind of life do you want to live after moving into your new home? Just bring it with you when you enter the house.
But his father and mother must be like this.
Jiang Xia also said that we should follow customs.
If he followed what he said, Jiang Xia wouldn't have to pick so many things.
He asked her to hold an apple in one hand and a candy in the other.
He hoped that she would be safe and healthy throughout her life, and that her life would be as sweet as sugar.
Mother Zhou said with a smile: "Okay, just go into the house. Xiaoxia, you go back to the room and continue sleeping!"
Father Zhou picked up the oil lamp Jiang Xia picked up and put it on the god position, and then picked up those two Pork and pastries, he said to Zhou Chenglei: "You can go back to sleep! Your mother and I will just put the things away. Ah Lei, you can put the pair of baskets that Xiao Xia brought in in your room, and they will be enough for three days." .”
Jiang Xia responded: "Okay."
She looked at Zhou Zhou: "Zhou Zhou, would you like to go back to your room to sleep? Do you dare to sleep alone on the third floor?"
Zhou Zhou nodded: "Dare!"
Jiang Xia: "Come, little aunt will take you up to sleep."
Zhou Chenglei carried the load of things and went upstairs with Jiang Xia and Zhou Zhou. Go back to the room and continue sleeping.
Jiang Xia sent Zhou Zhou back to the room first, "Do you dare? Do you want to sleep on the second floor?" Zhou Zhou looked at Jiang Xia in confusion: "Dare you! Why don't you dare?"
Jiang Xia was afraid that she would be scared alone. Seeing that she was really not afraid, she let her go: "Then I'll fall asleep with you here, and then I'll go downstairs."
"No, little aunt, you go to bed quickly! You are here, talking to me, and I can't sleep even more."
Jiang Xia: "...I'll go down and sleep first."
"Okay."
Jiang Xia left Zhou Zhou's room, leaving a bedside lamp behind.
Then the lights in the hall and stairs were not turned off.
After Zhou Zhou waited for Jiang Xia to come downstairs, he couldn't help but look at his room, touching the mattress, the bedside lamp, and the quilt cover.
This bed is so comfortable!
The quilt is beautiful too!
The pattern above is so cute!
The desk lamp is also very nice.
Zhou Zhou hid under the quilt, a little excited and couldn't sleep. He couldn't help but roll around, but he was a child after all. After playing for a while, he closed his eyes and fell asleep in a short while.
Zhou Chenglei came up to see her fifteen minutes later. When he saw that she was asleep, he turned off the light and went downstairs to sleep.
At seven o'clock the next morning, Tian Caihua, her great-grandmother's family, and her uncles and aunts from the same village also came to help. Li Xiuxian also came back early to help.
Today's chef is Uncle Dong. Usually when people in the village hold weddings, they ask him to help cook.
Zhou Bingqiang also invited him immediately, but he refused and came to help Jiang Xia's family.
The braised pork needs to be stewed first, so Uncle Dong said: "You find two people to peel the taro first, and I will stew the braised pork first."
After Uncle Dong said that, he went Processed the pork.
He Xinghuan immediately said: "I'll peel it!"
Tian Caihua said: "Second brother and sister, you can also peel the taro!"
Li Xiuxian's black face, Tian Caihua did it on purpose Yes, I know that she is most afraid of peeling taro. Every time after peeling, her hands will become allergic and itchy. Bi: "I can't, I get allergic every time I peel a taro."
Of course Tian Caihua did it on purpose. She guessed that Li Xiuxian would refuse, and immediately said: "Then you and your great-grandmother will kill the chicken." ! I’ll peel it.”
Tian Caihua prefers peeling the taro.
Li Xiuxian: "..."
She doesn't like killing chickens either. When the feathers are plucked, the feathers are scalded with boiling water and stink to death!
And killing chickens is the most troublesome.
She just wants to wash vegetables or wash dishes. No
But she came back late. Someone was already washing the vegetables, washing the bowls, and doing all the simple and clean work.
Zhou Chengsen said: "Come here and help me catch the chickens, and I will kill them."
Li Xiuxian had no choice but to bite the bullet and kill the chickens with Zhou Chengsen. After killing more than a dozen chickens, the skin on her hands was wrinkled. , my whole body was filled with the smell of chicken feces and chicken feathers.
Just when Li Xiuxian wanted to go back to the house to drink some water and take a rest, Tian Caihua said again: "Second brothers and sisters, go kill the fish quickly. It's too late. Uncle Dong is about to start frying the fish! It just so happens that you are the only ones free!" ”
Zhou Chengsen: “Okay!”
Li Xiuxian: “…”
Very good, one morning, Li Xiuxian was successfully made fishy and smelly by Tian Caihua!
Tian Caihua was very happy.
When the second room moved into a new home, she also did the job of killing chickens and fish, and today she finally got it back!

It was almost noon, and two brand-new green jeeps were parked outside Jiang Xia’s new house.
The car at the front has not been registered yet.
Jiang Dong jumped out of the car.
