At six o'clock the next day, everyone took the bus from the county to the town. These days, it was all parents who sent their students off and had a lot of luggage, so they had to fight for the bus.
"Old Jiang, where is Xiwei staying this time? Do you want to stay at Seventh Master's place or the Jiang Garden?" Mr. Cheng asked in the car.
Cheng Cheng was also very concerned about this question. She also wanted to know if they would have the chance to go to school together in this lifetime!
"Xiwei said he wanted to rent a house in the village!”Father Jiang said. Cheng Cheng was a little surprised when she heard this. Why did they suddenly want to rent a house?
"Renting a house?" Mother Cheng was interested.
"That's right. Xianmei (Mother Cheng) is actually quite good at renting a house. I heard that the middle school dormitory is quite messy. It's not good to rest at night and there's no hot water. Tiantian has lived enough for three years in middle school.”Mother Jiang said.
"Is that so? In that case, it would be good to rent a house outside!”Mother Cheng also thought that this was a good idea.
"Have you rented a house?" Second Aunt Cheng asked.
"Not yet? Didn't you come back early to take a look?" Mother Jiang said.
"Old Cheng, why don't we rent a house for Chengcheng in the village? This way, she would be able to live comfortably and would not have to worry about being affected in school.”Mother Cheng asked Father Cheng.
"Sure! If they could find a suitable house, it would be good for them to be together.”Father Cheng agreed.
"Sister-in-law, I think it's fine. I was thinking that Grandpa and Grandma are getting old. I can't care about them when I go back! In that case, they could just take some food.”Second Aunt Cheng also felt that this suggestion was not bad.
"They don't eat much. I can ask my grandfather or uncle (Cheng Cheng's grandfather) to send some rice every once in a while. That was to say, they could eat at home during their breaks. The other three meals a day could be eaten at the teacher's house! There were many teachers who earned money from the small canteen in the school.”Jiang Tiantian said.
"This is good. Anyway, the children won't run around. They can take care of each other when they're together.”Second Uncle Cheng said.
"Alright, then we'll go look for a house near the school tomorrow. We'll just look for it together. The children will have company when they're together!”Father Jiang decided.
The roads in Hui Province were still full of potholes. After shaking for half a day, they arrived at Chengjiawan Village. This village was full of people with the surname Cheng. He had a family and five generations of relatives. Father Cheng and Father Jiang were five generations old, but they had known each other since they were young, so their relationship had become better and better.
When they got home, Mother Cheng and Second Aunt Cheng began to tidy up. The house was really too messy. There was no place to sleep at night.
Mother Cheng and Second Aunt Cheng's wedding room was full of junk. Now, they could only clean up the room as soon as possible so that they could sleep at night.
Grandpa Cheng and Grandma Cheng only knew how to work in the fields. The house was a mess.
"These two old people are at home. One only knows how to do the vegetable fields, and the other only knows how to go up the mountain to chop firewood. The house is a mess.”Second Aunt Cheng whispered to Mother Cheng.
"Sigh, we can't control how the old live. Let them be happy!”Mother Cheng didn't want to say anything else.
"Fortunately, I rented a house for the two children in school. Otherwise, I'm really worried that Grandpa and Grandma won't be able to take good care of them.”Second Aunt Cheng said.
"Alright, let's pack up quickly! Otherwise, they wouldn't even have a place to sleep at night!”Mrs. Cheng urged.
"Cheng Cheng, carry your little brother to the side and play. This side is full of dust.”Mother Cheng told her daughter to stay away.
"Okay, I'll carry Qiang Qiang to find Dad!”Cheng Cheng carried her little brother and left.
"Dad, where did you go?" Cheng Cheng saw her father return after taking two steps.
"I went to your Grandpa Quan's place just now. He asked us to have dinner at his place tonight.”Father Cheng said. In this village, Cheng Cheng's family was the youngest. They were all uncles, grandparents, and wives.
"Okay, then go and tell Mom. I'll bring Qiang Qiang around.”Cheng Cheng carried her little brother and walked around the village. It was still the same as she remembered. Every household had a red brick bungalow. It was not a three-story house.
"What are you doing here?" Jiang Xiwei had nothing better to do, so he came out to take a look. He saw Cheng Cheng, who was holding her little brother, standing there motionless for a long time.
"Oh, Mom and Dad are tidying up the house. I have nothing to do, so I brought my brother out for a walk.”Cheng Cheng saw Jiang Xiwei walking over and felt inexplicably nervous.
"Are you used to it?" Jiang Xiwei asked. If he remembered correctly, Cheng Cheng had been extremely reluctant to come back in her previous life. She didn't like anything.
"There's nothing to get used to. We're all Big Mountain's children. Isn't this our roots?”Cheng Cheng said.
"Weren't you unwilling to come back before? Why did she change so much after a summer break?”Jiang Xiwei was puzzled. Could it be that because he had returned, some things had a butterfly effect?
"That was just throwing a tantrum. I thought it through later. Where else can we go if we don't come back here to continue our studies? I believe that I will rely on my own abilities to return to the big city.”Cheng Cheng said confidently.
"Okay, then I'll wait and see!”Jiang Xiwei said doubtfully.
That night, Cheng Cheng's family and Jiang Xiwei's family were having dinner at Grandpa Quan's house. There were three big tables for the whole family, and it was quite lively.
Grandpa Quan was about ten years older than Mr. Cheng and the others. Currently, he only had one son named Cheng Jun and Jiang Tiantian. She failed the middle school entrance exam this year and was going to attend a technical school soon.
According to the events of her previous life, Grandpa Quan and his wife would go to City B for a year during Cheng Cheng's second year of middle school. They went to avoid the family planning program and gave birth to a daughter when Cheng Jun was sixteen.
After dinner, Cheng Cheng, Nanny Cheng, and Second Aunt Cheng went back to take a shower. There were many people in the house, so they could only boil water and take a shower one by one. It wasn't until nine o'clock that everyone washed up and prepared to go to bed. Cheng Lin went to Cheng Jun's house to sleep at night. The two of them had a good relationship since they were young.
The next morning, the two families agreed to go to the village. Today's main task was to rent a house near the school for their children and report to the school. As she had just transferred back, she had to report in advance.
First, he went to the school to hand over the three children's primary school records and scorebooks to the teacher. In the next two days, the school would assign the students according to their scorebooks and records. When he came to school on September 1st, he could go through the admission procedures according to the class allocation posted by the school.
It was almost noon when they came out of school. Everyone first found a restaurant to eat and asked the boss about renting a house nearby.
This lunch was definitely not for nothing. After this meal, they found out about three or four rental houses through the boss. After dinner, everyone went to see them.
Looking at the three houses, it had already been more than two hours. In the end, everyone collectively decided to rent the last set. It was a five-minute walk away from the school, so it was quite safe to study at night.
The most important thing was that the decoration of this house was relatively good. The living room was on the first floor, and the kitchen and bathroom were further inside. There were two rooms on the second and third floor respectively. It just so happened that each child would have a room and would not disturb each other. Moreover, it was fully equipped with household appliances. There was no need to add any more household appliances.
The landlord had accompanied the child to the city to attend high school and did not come back often, so he rented the house out. Of course, the rent for such a good house would definitely be more expensive.
A year's rent plus water and electricity costs 2000 yuan. At this time in 2001, renting a house in the countryside was considered expensive. One had to know that in 20 years, the houses in this village that accompanied students would only cost about 10,000 yuan a year.
However, a few of the parents readily rented it for three years and signed a three-year agreement with the landlord.
After renting the house, the three mothers began to shop on the streets. They bought everything from quilts to bedding, daily necessities, kitchen pots and pans, oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar.
The three fathers went to buy a washing machine and a television. The house had everything except for these two. The washing machine was semi-automatic so that the children could save time. After all, the classes were quite intense.
Everything was fine, and it was getting late. He put everything in the rented house and prepared to go home. He would come back tomorrow to pack up.
