Chapter 11 The house leaks in air and light and rain


    People in the village are very particular about making beds when moving and making beds. They cannot come casually. They need to choose auspicious days. If they don’t choose, they will choose the first or fifteenth day of the lunar calendar.


    Therefore, Zhou’s father decided to move today.


    Zhou Chenglei and Zhou’s father took the cleaning tools to clean the old house.


    Jiang Xia was worried that men were not as meticulous as women’s cleaning, so she still had high requirements for the environmental sanitation of her home, so she said, “I don’t need to clean my things. I will also help with cleaning. There are too many people and work quickly.”


    The original owner was married not long ago and was ready to divorce at any time. Many things were still not taken out in red, white and blue bags.


    Now it''s just convenient to move.


    "Okay, then let your mother stay and share things with your sister-in-law."


    Tian Caihua felt that Jiang Xia was smart again. Now she pretended to be diligent and asked Zhou''s mother to stay and divide the things.


    In this way, would she be embarrassed to give the old and bad things to her mother-in-law?


    I really underestimate her!


    The thief is sophisticated!


    Suddenly she thought of the whole family division process. Jiang Xia looked virtuous and virtuous, which made her belittle, sarcastic, and unfilial. In the end, she took advantage of her new house, and the other two did not aggrieved the couple at all.


    The more Tian Caihua thought about it, the more angry he became!


    Bah, she doesn''t believe that Jiang Xia really doesn''t fight or rob, and she doesn''t want anything, this big-tailed wolf!


    So sinister and cunning!


    I guess the two old people will feel that Zhou Chenglei and Jiang Xia suffered a loss when they moved to the old house, so they secretly took some private houses to subsidize them.


    Thinking of this, Tian Caihua became unhappy again.


    Jealousy made Tian Caihua temporarily forget that Jiang Xia was going to get divorced. What would she care about?


    *


    The Zhou family lives in a small fishing village, which relies on the mountains and eats the sea near the sea, so most villagers make a living by going out to sea to fish.


    Moreover, most of their area is plains, with few mountains and sparsely populated areas, so every household has a lot of land.


    The villagers'' lives are pretty good and they won''t go hungry.


    The old house of the Zhou family is closer to the sea, but it is not by the sea, it is just closer.


    Houses close to the sea have heavy water vapor and are relatively humid. They may easily get rheumatism after living for a long time. If they encounter a tsunami, there is still a risk of destruction. There is absolutely no poetic feeling of "I have a house facing the sea and flowers bloom in spring", so villagers will not choose to build a house by the sea.


    Although the scenery by the sea is beautiful, they see it every day and are not rare.


    But later, the economy developed, in order to create tourist areas and selling points, many houses and hotels were built by the sea.


    Jiang Xia looked at this long-established stone house. The courtyard walls were also made of stone, which looked very stable and had a sense of age.


    The yard is covered with grass, but it is very big.


    Jiang Xia was a city man in her previous life. After her parents were gone, she lost her house and lost money. Later, she lived in a basement assigned by her grandmother as a sanitation worker before she retired. It was very small and dark, with no windows, and she couldn''t even raise flowers in the house.


    It was not until she got into college that she paid off the medical expenses owed by her grandmother for treatment. Two years after she graduated from graduate school, she had the money to buy a living room and a room in Beijing. What was hateful was that she came over before she could hand over the building.


    So she has never lived in a house with a yard in this life!


    The yard is very big, and Jiang Xia felt like it when she saw it. When she divorced in the future, she would also buy a house with a yard, planting flowers in the front and fruit trees in the back.


    She had already used this yard as the prototype in her mind, and imagined how to build her own small yard in the future.


    Now the yard is full of weeds, and because it is an old house that has been built for decades, it has not lived in it for two or three years. It has been disrepaired and has no popularity. Many of the tiles on the roof have fallen off. Standing in the house, you can look up and see the light coming down through the gaps of the tiles.


    Light leakage will naturally leak rain.


    Zhou’s father frowned: “You have to buy some tiles on the roof to repair it, otherwise it will rain and typhoons will be troublesome.”


    Zhou Chenglei: "I''ll buy it tomorrow." Jiang Xia looked up and looked at it: The sky was blue and watery, not like it would rain, but Jiang Xia thought of the plot in the book.


    There is a super typhoon in the book that landed along the coast of this area. After the typhoon, there were many fish and shrimps on the beach. The heroine also came to pick up fish and shrimps to sell them to earn living expenses and tuition fees, because school will start in September. As a result, she was too bold and ran far away in order to chase a fish. She was swept into the sea by the waves. It was the male protagonist who saved her.


    According to the plot in the book, the original owner and the male protagonist divorced and left today, and the female protagonist should appear!


    Who knows when that super typhoon will come?


    She was a little anxious and said, "August is the season for active typhoons. I don''t know when it will rain. It''s still early. Can I buy some tiles and repair the roof now?."


    Zhou’s father said: “The weather forecast starts this year, and there will be a radio station to tell everyone not to go out to sea.”


    Jiang Xia felt a little relieved, but couldn''t help but wonder, "Is this weather forecast accurate?"


    “Sometimes accurate, sometimes not.”


    Jiang Xia: "."


    Zhou’s father: “The weather forecast reports to the entire city, and there are so many counties under the city.”


    Zhou Chenglei saw her concern and said, "Dad, I''ll go and see if there are any tiles sold. After buying them, I should be able to repair the roof in one afternoon."


    Zhou’s father couldn’t stay alone with his daughter-in-law for too long, so he said, “I’ll go! You guys clean here.”


    There is a tiled kiln in the village next door. After buying it, it will deliver goods to your door. There is no need to pull it yourself, so Zhou Chenglei didn''t rush to go there.


    Zhou''s father went out after he said that.


    Zhou Chenglei looked at the weeds in the yard and was very difficult to weed, so he said, "Go to clean the house, I will clean the weeds in the yard."


    Most of the furniture in the house has been moved away. The house is empty and cleaned when moving. It will not be messy and only dust. She will not be too tired when cleaning.


    Jiang Xia had no objection, so she **** her headscarf and covered her mouth and nose with a cloth, and then she took a broom and inspected her "new home" with great ambitions.


    There are four rooms in this house, with the living room in the middle and rooms on both sides.


    The living room is very long and deep, and the layout is not very good.


    There are two relatively low houses on the left and right sides of the main room. There is a kitchen on the left. Two large stoves were made, and there are two relatively short stoves next to the large stove.


    On the right is a custodian room, used to store farm tools and the like.


    There is also a low and narrow room next to the kitchen, which is the shower room and the bathroom.


    The bathroom floor is paved with red bricks, the kitchen and the utility room are not paved with bricks, and the house is paved with square old steps, so it is done.


    Jiangxia heard from a college roommate that there was a mud brick house in her hometown from the 1950s and 1960s. The floor was not covered with bricks, but it was hard mud and the floor was black.


    The house also has a backyard, which is quite large. It also has a pigpen, cowshed and chicken coop with stones, but it is all in tatters.


    After Jiang Xia''s visit, she felt that it was much better than she thought, so she decided to start cleaning the room first.


    The old house was also powered up and installed lights. Jiang Xia pulled the rope on the wall next to the door, and the tungsten wire light bulb was on.


    She held a long broom and decided to clean the spider webs of the walls and beams first.


    After sweeping the four walls, she held a broom and swept the beam of the house, suddenly she faced two snakes on the beam with six eyes.


    "Ah!" Jiang Xia was so scared that she threw the broom away, ran out like the wind, and the cloth on her face blew off.
