Chapter 281 Let's Change
After two o'clock, Uncle Lan drove over with a donkey cart.

The car was pulling wooden boards, bed frames, and Zhao Tingting and Qiao Mu's wet bedding.

The boards and bedsteads were unloaded under the eaves, and the bedding was piled up in the main room.

The old lady directed Qiao Mu to tear down the bed.

Qiao Mu dismantled the bed and moved it to Su Qian's side to put it together again.

The old lady brought two mattresses for Susie to lay on the bed, and another clean sheet for Susie.

There is no quilt yet, the old lady said: "I will sew you a quilt later."

Now there are quilt covers in the city, but no one in the countryside uses those quilts. They all sew the quilts themselves. The quilt lining is made of homemade cloth, and the quilt cover is made of floral cloth.

Zhao Tingting's room is next to Su Qian's. Zhao Tingting was laying the bed boards. The old lady went over and looked, "This is not good, the bed boards are all wet. If you sleep on this, you will get sick."

The old lady said: "Move the bed board to the stove room, bake it, and then use it after drying."

Zhao Tingting said: "Thank you grandma."

The old lady smiled, "No thanks, no thanks, we don't have to be so polite every day when we live together in the future."

The old lady went to the room next to their room and saw that Qiao Mu's bed board was also wet, and told him to take the bed board to the stove to bake.

Seeing that the rain had stopped, Susie said to her grandma, "Tingting and I will go to the river to wash clothes and sheets."

There is not only a lake in the team, but also a small river. People in the village wash their clothes by the river, otherwise it would be too troublesome to carry water.

Qiao Mu also came out with a bucket, and the old lady waved her hand, "Go, be careful, the water is heavy, don't fall."

Several people went to the river to do laundry with buckets.

The rain had just stopped, and there was no one beside the river except them.

Clothes and sheets are not difficult to wash, they are all muddy, just rinse them in the river.

After washing the clothes, Susie hung all the clothes and sheets in the yard, and the yard was full of laundry by several people.

When I got back to the room, I saw grandma sewing a quilt in her room.

Susie looked at the freshness and stood aside to watch.

The needles used for sewing quilts are thicker and longer than ordinary needles, and the threads are also thick.

The old lady wrapped a green satin quilt with a white coarse cloth, and on the quilt were large peonies of various colors.

Susie was very surprised, this quilt was a good thing, she stretched out her hand to touch it, and found that the satin quilt was thick, soft and silky.

"Why is there such a quilt?"

The old lady smiled and said: "This is my dowry, two red beds and two green beds, nine-colored brocade quilt, I can't bear to use it for a long time, if I don't use it again, it will be broken, so it's just right for you."

It is not difficult to sew a quilt, after all, it only plays a role of fixing the quilt surface and the quilt, and it does not need to be too strong.

Susie looked at it for a while, "Grandma, let me try."

The old lady gave the needle and thread to Susie, and Susie sewed two stitches, and she laughed when she saw it.

The thread that the old lady sewed was long and straight, and the spacing was about the same. It looked very neat, but the thread Susie sewed was obviously crooked.

Embarrassed, she removed the thread and returned the needle to grandma.

Grandma wore reading glasses bought by Susie, and smiled while sewing the quilt, "We used to learn to sew clothes and make shoes when we were young."

"Your aunt has also learned from me since she was a child, and she is very good at making shoes now."

She looked at Susie with a smile, "You don't need to learn, my granddaughter does great things, and others will naturally do these things."

Susie was embarrassed by what she said.

Zhao Tingting walked to the door at this time, the old lady said: "Your name is Tingting."

"Go get some ginger from the kitchen and make some ginger soup for you guys to drink."

"Although the weather is not too cold today, it's better to drink some ginger soup when it's raining."

Zhao Tingting promised to go to the kitchen.

The old lady quickly sewed the quilt, and spread the satin quilt on the bed, looking festive and luxurious.

Su Qian went to the stove house, and Zhao Tingting was lighting the fire, "By the way, our eldest and second hair are still at the collective household, what should we do?"

Susie thought for a while, "Originally, there is one for each person, or we should share it."

"I'll call Yuan Gang, Big Brother Zhu and Xiaohui each to hold one, and let's bring the rest. Grandma also raised chickens, so we will raise them together."

After a while, the ginger soup was ready, and Zhao Tingting took out a bowl and handed Susie a bowl, and Qiao Mu another bowl.

Su Qian saw that there was a lot of ginger soup, so she made a bowl for each of her grandparents, put some brown sugar in it, and served them to drink. The two old people were also drenched in the rain today.

After drinking the ginger soup, Su Qian said: "Let's go to Uncle Liao's house to see if Xiaohui has stayed."

When they arrived at Liao's house, Tian Xiaohui was not there.

Uncle Liao said: "She has been here, but it is not convenient for her to live in my house. I don't know where she lives."

Su Qian almost forgot that Uncle Liao's family planned to leave. This house was originally the old house of the Lan family. Later, Uncle Liao rebuilt it into the current blue brick and tile house. After leaving, it is estimated that the house will be returned. It is indeed inconvenient for Tian Xiaohui to live in the Lan family.

Su Qian and Zhao Tingting came out from Liao's house, took two chickens and went to Xu Changyou's house.

Yuan Gang and Zhu Zhicheng were sorting things out. Huang Chunzhen was very happy to see the chickens, "Our family also raised chickens, and they happened to be raised together."

After leaving their house, Su Qian and Zhao Tingting went to Xu Changgui's house again, wanting to ask where Tian Xiaohui had gone.

When I arrived at Xu Changgui's house, I saw Tian Xiaohui standing in the yard, looking at her pile of things, as if she didn't know what to do.

Susie walked over, "Have you found a place to live?"

Tian Xiaohui lowered her head, "The captain asked me to live here and sleep with his granddaughter."

Xu Changgui had no other choice. He arranged Chen Changqing and the others in the accountant Zhang's house, the woman director's house, and a member's house.

Their house is actually not rich.

There are four rooms in total, one main room, the old couple live in one room, the eldest son's family lives in two rooms, and the youngest son's family of three lives in one room.

The youngest son works in a food factory and spends little time at home. Most of the time, Liu Li takes Xinyu to live with him.

The eldest son and his wife slept with their five-year-old Huzi.

Granddaughter Duo Duo is also eight or nine years old, and Liu Changgui arranged for Tian Xiaohui and Duo Duo to live in a room alone.

Zhao Tingting said: "That's pretty good. We're also close, and it's easy to travel. It's still similar to living in a collective household."

Tian Xiaohui bit her lip, "Tingting, why don't you switch with me, you live at the captain's house, and I live at Grandpa Susie's house."

Living in someone else's house was inconvenient enough, she didn't want to share a bed with a little girl every day.

Zhao Tingting froze for a moment, "This—"

The conditions at Grandma Susie's house must be better than here. I don't know how comfortable it is to live in a house alone.

Group life is good, but people also need privacy.

Zhao Tingting said embarrassingly: "Xiaohui, you are small, so it's fine to sleep in the same bed with Douduo. I'm tall, so I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep together."

"And Grandma Susie—"
