102 Chapter 102: Cleaning Up The New Home

“The lampstand isn’t big, so it’s not surprising that they took it.”

“The lampstand at home has been used for many years and is already a little broken. Let’s add a new one to the new house.”

As he spoke, Song Que continued to write. He said while writing, “We have five bedrooms, a hall, a kitchen, and a lavatory. We have to buy eight lampstands.”

Qin Xiaoyao’s heart ached when she heard this, but she didn’t stop him.

!!

It was a new home with a new atmosphere. It was only right to discard and replace some old things.

After looking at the outer room, Qin Xiaoyao walked into the inner room and saw a large bed covered with straw.

“We have to change all the straw on the beds in this house. After that, we’ll spread out new straw and put on new bedding after buying them.”

The bedding back home in Brook Falls Village was very old and was barely usable in the summer.

In the winter, the function of keeping out the cold was definitely not good.

She might as well change them when they moved house this time.

“Mm-hmm!” Song Que’s voice could be heard from the outer room immediately.

“There are five bedrooms, so we need five sets of bedding. In addition, we also need to prepare separate sets of blankets for summer and winter.”

Qin Xiaoyao felt another wave of pain in her heart.

Five sets of bedding were more than enough, yet he still wanted five summer and five winter blankets.

She wanted to object and then propose to change the five sets and five pieces to four sets and four pieces. After all, there would be an empty bedroom after they had moved in.

Moreover, she felt they could wait until the start of autumn before buying the winter blankets.

However, she didn’t mention it eventually.

Would her attractive husband think too much if she didn’t get anything for the fifth room? Would he think that she didn’t want to sleep in a separate room from him or something?

Well, it was true that she did not want to sleep separately.

However, it was also good to sleep separately so that she would not have capricious and uncontrollable thoughts or even let her imagination run wild when she slept with him.

“Sigh! Forget it. I’d better listen to my attractive husband…” she thought.

It was good for her to have her own room anyway.

Besides, these things in the house would have to be added sooner or later.

Qin Xiaoyao gathered up the straw and carried it out of the inner room. Then, she sent the straw to the woodshed.

Although this bunch of straw could not be used to make a bed, it could still be used to start a fire.

If they stayed in town and didn’t go out of town to collect firewood, they would have to spend money to buy firewood, so they had to be more frugal.

The previous owner hadn’t used up all the firewood in the woodshed. Seeing this, Qin Xiaoyao felt a little relieved.

Then, she went to every bedroom and continued to gather up the straw.

After she had gotten all the straw, Qin Xiaoyao went to the kitchen to get a wooden bucket and then went to the well to get water.

Thereafter, she found a rag and began to clean the house thoroughly while checking the condition of each room.

Whenever she encountered something that needed to be repaired, she would pick it out and put it aside. After she was done with her chores, she would concentrate on repairing them.

When she found something missing, she went to Song Que to report it and let Song Que record it down.

Qin Xiaoyao was quick in carrying out her tasks. In addition, as people had lived in this courtyard dwelling before and maintained it well, it didn’t take much effort for her to clean up the hall and the five bedrooms.

Qin Xiaoyao didn’t rush to repair the problematic furniture. Instead, she decided to buy the things the house lacked that had already been recorded on the list first.

“Hubby, you wait at home. I’ll be back after I’m done shopping.” Qin Xiaoyao walked to Song Que’s side and picked up the list that Song Que had prepared.

They had thought that since the previous owner of the courtyard dwelling had left the furniture for them, they wouldn’t need to add too much.

She didn’t expect that she would discover so many things missing in just one afternoon.

However, for the sake of a better life, she still had to buy what was needed.

“Mm-hmm,” Song Que replied.

Seeing that Qin Xiaoyao was about to leave, he thought of something and asked, “Did you bring enough money?”

Qin Xiaoyao turned around.

“Enough! Don’t worry, Hubby!” She smiled and walked out of the door.

She had already prepared the money in advance, as she had expected to come and clean up the new house and buy some things in the process.

When she reached the courtyard, Qin Xiaoyao retrieved the handcart and pushed it out of the courtyard.

When she left, she did not forget to lock the door as well.

This was because her attractive husband had difficulty moving around. She was a little worried about leaving him alone at home.

After coming out of the alley, Qin Xiaoyao went onto the main street.

Following that, she went to the corresponding shops to buy things according to the list.

As she was buying a lot of stuff, plus the amount of haggling involved, it inevitably took up a lot of time.

By the time Qin Xiaoyao returned to her new home after she finished her shopping, she had been gone for more than an hour.

Song Que’s mood had also changed from one of relaxed leisure to boredom and then to a foul mood.

He even got up and sat by the stone table in the courtyard, looking at the gate from time to time, waiting for Qin Xiaoyao to return.

When he heard the sound of the door unlocking, his eyebrows twitched.

A feeling of anger mixed with joy rose from the bottom of his heart.

...

A moment later, the door swung open, and Qin Xiaoyao pushed in a handcart full of goods.

When Song Que turned around and saw this scene, the anger in his heart was instantly suppressed.

“Hubby, why did you come out?” Qin Xiaoyao noticed Song Que very quickly, and a smile appeared on her chubby face that was covered with beads of perspiration.

Seeing Qin Xiaoyao’s appearance, the last sparks of anger in Song Que were completely extinguished.

“It was stuffy in the house, so I came out to sit in the courtyard,” he explained awkwardly.

“Oh.” Qin Xiaoyao didn’t think too much about it.

“There were many things to buy, so I took a bit more time,” she explained.

“In that case, just sit here for a while longer. I’ll put away the things in the house, and then we can set off for Brook Falls Village shortly.”

It was getting late. When she got back, Qin Xiaoyao still had to go into the mountains to hunt bamboo rats. After that, she had to go to the river to haul up the nets with Big Girl Li. She couldn’t delay any longer.

“Mm-hmm,” Song Que replied.

When he saw Qin Xiaoyao pushing the handcart past him, he felt a little annoyed for the first time.

...

He lowered his head and looked at his injured leg. He felt a little angry that it was healing too slowly.

However, Qin Xiaoyao was not aware of any of this.

She parked the handcart in front of the door to one of the rooms and began to unload the things from the handcart.

Thereafter, she put these things into the corresponding rooms and placed them in the appropriate places.

Only after she had put everything in its proper place did Qin Xiaoyao push the handcart out to look for Song Que.

“Let’s go home, Hubby.” After saying that, she put down the handcart and went to help Song Que.

Song Que looked at Qin Xiaoyao, who never once took a breather and felt slightly moved.

“Sit down and rest for a while before leaving,” he said.

When he saw Qin Xiaoyao looking over, he looked in the direction of the well awkwardly.

“Go get some water. I’m thirsty.”

“Alright,” Qin Xiaoyao replied.

Then, she ran to the kitchen.

After a while, she came out with two bowls and ran to the well.

Seeing this, Song Que’s expression relaxed.

When she reached the well, Qin Xiaoyao picked up the wooden bucket beside it and filled it with water.

After that, she washed her face and hands with cold water.

Then, she used a bowl to scoop some water from the well.

After drinking three big bowls in a row, Qin Xiaoyao finally felt some of the heat dissipating from her body.

When she saw Song Que turn his head to look at her, she quickly used another bowl to scoop water from the well and then brought the water to Song Que.

“The water from this well is very sweet. Hubby, have a taste!” she said with a smile.
