After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields Chapter 667

Chapter 667 New Neighbors

After sending Qin Feng away, the mood at home was depressed for two days.

But soon the family of eight got involved in decorating their new home.

The blocked drainage ditch needs to be cleared, the broken stable needs to be repaired, and the well in the yard needs to be re-enclosed with bricks.

In addition, there is also the zoning layout of the house.

This house is not just a temporary residence. The family has a consensus that they will settle down for a long time. Three to five years is just the basic requirement.

So Qin Yao will not make do with it at all.

Each functional area of the home must be renovated according to the family's living habits.

The husband and wife each had their own division of labor, and Qin Yao took Awang and Yin Le to and from their new home and Qin Feng's home every day.

Liu Ji took his four children to consolidate their homework at home, was responsible for three meals a day, and inquired about private schools.

Throughout April, a family of eight lived a busy and fulfilling life.

By the time the house was completely packed and ready for move-in, it was already May.

On the day Qin Yao's family moved into their new home, the National Master also completed a blessing ceremony.

The whole capital was in jubilation, and everyone was swimming in the ocean of joy, as if they had been blessed and would soon become rich.

Kuanzhengfang is also very lively. Someone has finally moved into the house that has been struggling for more than half a month. Neighbors came to watch out of curiosity.

At the gate of Sanjin House with a plaque of "Liu Mansion", neighbors stood together in twos and threes, discussing excitedly.

Aunt Yu said in confusion: "This family has been struggling for more than half a month, but I can't see any difference. It's not just the roof, it's the roof, and the door is the door."

“You don't know this. It looks pretty much the same from the outside, but it's completely different on the inside.”

Mrs. Qiu's home is in the west house adjacent to the Liu Mansion. As soon as she opened her mouth, everyone around her immediately looked at her.

“I heard from the masons working inside that this family had pulled out all the flowers and plants in the backyard, built a trellis, and planted vegetables.”

"The original kitchen was directly connected to the wing room next door, and half of the wall facing the courtyard was smashed. The entire kitchen became larger and brighter. An oven was built directly in the room and three large blue and white stone slabs were purchased. , I made a table called an island table.”

“It's not over yet. The fish pond as big as the front yard has been filled in and turned into a martial arts arena.”

A young sister-in-law clapped her hands and shouted: "I know this!"

“The eldest son of Mr. Liu's family is a young man who practices martial arts. We talked about it when they first came to see this house. From now on, my young man will have a companion to practice martial arts.”

"By the way, have you noticed that the person in charge of this house seems to be Mrs. Liu? She has been busy in and out for the past half month. She carried a piece of bluestone for the boss by herself. Did you see it?"

Aunt Yu exaggeratedly asked: "Is it true or not? Guizhi, please don't fool me. Not many strong men can lift such a heavy stone slab?"

Zhang Guizhi rolled her eyes at her, "If you don't believe me, ask Mrs. Qiu. Their two families are so close. You can see the courtyard next door by setting up a ladder on the wall. She must have looked at it too."

Old Mrs. Qiu did not dare to respond to these words, and quickly waved her hands to deny: "You little daughter-in-law, stop talking nonsense, who is climbing on the wall? Who is my old lady like?"

Everyone nearby heard this and burst into laughter.

“Hey, someone is coming out.”

The noisy group of people immediately looked towards the Liu family's gate.

A girl with half a beauty mask on her face walked towards them with a smile on her face, holding a large plate of candies, melon seeds and peanuts.

“Our family just moved here today. We were busy settling in and didn't have time to entertain the big guys. Please don't be surprised!”

“It's hot outside in the sun. Come sit here under the tree at the door and eat some melon seeds and candies.” Yin Le greeted warmly. Nga Wang and Dalang Erlang moved the bench out, placed it under the big tree in front of the door, and then ran into the yard to clean it up.

Mrs. Qiu and the others looked at each other in confusion, nodded secretly, and followed Yin Le happily to the foot of the tree. One of them politely took some melon seed candies and asked enthusiastically:

“We have a lot of stuff, do you want some help? We can't just eat your stuff for free. If you need help, just ask, you're welcome.”

Zhang Guizhi also said: "My family lives at the entrance of the alley. If you have anything to do, just come to me. My husband and his brother are both on duty in the government office. Generally, young people don't dare to mess around."

Yin Le thanked them all with a smile, "No, no, I don't have much luggage. We appreciate your kindness."

“I didn't have time to entertain you all today. I'm going to have a housewarming party at home the next day. Please bring your family members to show your respect.”

Mrs. Qiu and Aunt Yu looked at each other and said, "This is a good newcomer. They seem to be easy to get along with."

Everyone responded with a smile, and some asked Yin Le if there was any shortage of manpower at home, and they could come over to help.

The new neighbors took the initiative to express their kindness to them, and everyone was willing to help support the place.

However, Qin Yao had already planned to reserve a table at the restaurant and did not need manpower.

Yin Le thanked everyone for their kindness, brought a table over, prepared some tea, and followed Mrs. Qiu to get to know everyone who had gathered nearby.

The number of people to be invited will be determined at that time.

There are a total of twenty-nine households in Kuanzhengfang, half of them are locals and half of them are from outside. They all live in the same place. The neighbors look after each other and most of them have good relations.

Most of the men living here work as servants in various government offices, some are officials of the seventh or eighth rank, and some are also minor officials below the rank.

There are two families next door to Qin Yao's family. One is the Qiu family. Old Mrs. Qiu has shown up with a strong presence. The men in the family are all working in the West Market Supervisor. Their family background is quite good. There are also family members outside the city to help. In Kuanzhengfang I have lived here for decades and have a certain prestige.

But even if there are petty officials with high grades in their families, they are not wealthy enough to be surrounded by servants. Only occasionally a few families will buy one or two rough servants.

Because the economic level is down-to-earth, neighbors get along harmoniously and casually.

But when it comes to the house to the east of Qin Yao's house, everyone has expressions that are hard to explain.

“The official authority is very great.”

“The door is never open on weekdays, and I never say hello to us neighbors.”

"As for the supervisory censor, you should be careful what you say, lest others write a letter to impeach you."

Mrs. Qiu smiled and said, "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. What good can we common people do? We haven't done anything wrong, so why are we afraid of ghosts knocking on the door?"

Aunt Yu said with emotion: "We are both from Yushitai. The old lady Wang from the Wang family across from our house is very nice. Although she doesn't see many guests on weekdays, she always gives gifts to our family members who are close to her during the holidays. The maids around her are all very kind." Peaceful."

While we were chatting, the side door of the house on the east side opened. Aunt Yu quickly pushed Yin Le's arm, "I guess you heard something coming from our side."

Yin Le left everyone behind and went to Qi's house next door. They held a housewarming party the next day and politely invited all the adults to attend.

As a result, the other person asked him coldly three times: "Whose family? Where is the duty? Don't you know that we, the adults, want to avoid suspicion?"

Yin Le's heart sank, he forced an awkward yet polite smile, turned around and left.

The man dressed as a butler looked under the big tree, frowned and shouted:

“A group of people blocked the middle of the street and disrupted order. Even the carriages couldn't pass. They were so noisy! Our brother couldn't even read!”

After speaking, he pointed at the tables, chairs and benches under the tree and gave Yin Le a warning look.

Until the side door was closed again, everyone just curled their lips in dissatisfaction, and no one dared to say a word.

Who lets someone be a supervisory censor? It's just lip service. Who dares to really offend someone who is an errand in the family?

Several old sisters-in-law patted Yin Le on the shoulders to express comfort, and they dispersed in anger.
