Chen Mu and Uncle Chen helped move Chen Xiaolin's luggage into her house, and then they all went back to the brigade headquarters. Chen Mu drove the tractor back, and Uncle Chen went to the brigade headquarters to handle things. As a brigade leader, he still had a lot to do. , I have been away for most of the day today to pick up the educated youth, and I don't know if it has delayed anything else.

Chen Xiaolin took out the key and opened the door. This key was given to her by Uncle Chen just now.

The new house has two living rooms, and there is a large living room in the middle of the two rooms.

There were two utility rooms built next to Uncle Chen's house. The kitchen was built opposite the utility rooms. Next to the kitchen was a thatched shed. The straw shed was reserved for storing firewood later.

The toilet is modified according to the toilet in the city. It can be flushed with water, which is cleaner and has no odor.

A shower room was built next to the toilet. This was specifically requested by Cheng Xin. Every time she came back, she found it inconvenient to take a shower, so she asked Uncle Chen to build such a shower room for her.

There is a well in the backyard and a large vegetable patch. No one is planting it now and it is still overgrown with weeds. Chen Xiaolin plans to take time to clear the vegetable patch tomorrow and order a variety of vegetables.

After Chen Xiaolin visited the house, she began to pack the things she brought back. The room is now empty, and there is not a single piece of furniture. Chen Xiaolin plans to go to the carpenter to buy some furniture later.

Chen Xiaolin chose the room on the right to live by herself. She took out two enamel basins and an old towel from the space, then went to the backyard to get a basin of water, and then used the old towel to wipe the kang clean.

She spread the mat she brought from home on the kang, and took out a thin quilt to cover it with tonight.

There was no cabinet to put other things, so she didn't take them out from the package.

Before Chen Xiaolin could pack her things, there was a knock on the door outside.

Chen Xiaolin opened the door and saw that it was Chen Mu who came with Grandpa Chen and Grandma Chen.

"Xiaolin, you girl is finally back! My grandparents miss you." Grandma Chen has always been worried about Chen Xiaolin living alone in the city, but before Chen Xiaolin was unwilling to come back, they had no choice but to give more She sent some food.

"Grandpa and grandma, am I back now?" Chen Xiaolin looked at Grandpa Chen and Grandma Chen. She thought of her grandparents in her previous life again, and she couldn't help but shed tears.

"Xiaolin, is someone bullying you in the city?" Grandpa Chen saw Chen Xiaolin feeling so sad and thought she was being bullied.

"No, I just miss you." Chen Xiaolin quickly wiped the tears from her face.

"Xiaolin, from now on you can just stay in the village and let your uncle raise you." When Grandma Chen saw Chen Xiaolin, she couldn't help but step forward and hug her. This was her poor little son's only bloodline.

Grandma Chen and Grandpa Chen have given birth to two sons and one daughter. The eldest son is Uncle Chen. Uncle Chen's original name is Chen Daguo. Chen Daguo married He Xiaolian and gave birth to three sons. The eldest son Chen Mu is twenty-three years old this year. He married Liu Hua and gave birth to two sons. The eldest son Goudan is five years old and the youngest son Shitou is two years old

Chen Daguo's second son is called Chen Lin, who is 20 years old. He just married Liu Xiaojuan this year and has no children yet.

The third son, Chen Sen, is 19 years old and unmarried. He was recommended by Chen Dazhu to join the army two years ago.

Chen Xiaolin actually wanted to visit her grandparents just now, but when she passed by, everyone had already gone to work. She originally thought she would have to wait until work ended in the evening before she could see her grandparents!

"Grandpa, grandma, come in and sit down. Don't worry! I can support myself. I've grown up. I don't have the nerve to let my uncle support me."

"You are only sixteen years old, how have you grown up? Besides, as long as you are not married, your uncle is responsible for raising you. If he dares to have any objections, I will break his legs." Grandpa Chen's grandchildren only have Such a little granddaughter lost her parents when she was only sixteen years old, how could he not feel sorry for her!

"That's right, from now on you can go over and have dinner with us. Grandma will prepare delicious food for you every day." Grandma Chen is not afraid of other people's opinions! She is still in charge now, and she has the final say in everything at home.

"Grandpa, grandma, I know you feel sorry for me, but I like peace and quiet, so I'd better eat alone! Don't worry, I can take care of myself." Chen Xiaolin didn't want to go over to eat, could she secretly eat delicious food at home? Isn't it bad?

"Oh! That's okay! Then you must go over for dinner tonight." Grandma Chen planned to go back and kill the old hen that didn't lay eggs, and then make chicken soup to replenish Chen Xiaolin.

"Oh! Then I will go back and bring you some food later." Grandpa Chen planned to bring all the dozens of kilograms of rice at home for Chen Xiaolin to eat. This child grew up in the city, and he didn't know whether he could eat coarse grains.

Chen Xiaolin didn't know what they were thinking. If she knew, she would definitely not agree to what they did. After all, she had no shortage of food or meat, so why would she make other people's houses riot over such a small amount of food?

Chen Xiaolin was having a good time here, and Liu Xiaojuan, who was working in the fields, was also telling Liu Hua something about Chen Xiaolin.

"Sister-in-law, why do you think this sister-in-law is back? Could it be that she can't survive in the city?" Liu Xiaojuan was a little unhappy yesterday when she heard Chen Lin say that her cousin was coming back. Originally, she had planned to talk to Chen Lin Lin moved to live next door, but now that Chen Xiaolin is back, her idea has come to nothing.

"What does it have to do with you? Why do you care so much?" Liu Hua has never liked Liu Xiaojuan very much. He thinks she is too petty and has all the calculations on her face. She thinks others can't see it!

"She's just a girl, but I don't know why our grandparents, parents-in-law like her so much." Liu Xiaojuan was actually very jealous of Chen Xiaolin, a teenage orphan girl, why she lived in such a nice house

"Second brother and sister, please be careful what you say. Your mother-in-law heard what you said today. It would be strange if she didn't scold you." Liu Hua was too lazy to talk to Liu Xiaojuan. Talking to such a person was a waste of words.

When Liu Xiaojuan saw Liu Hua ignoring her, she could only return to her mission in despair.

Not far from Liu Hua and the others, Aunt Chen and Aunt Zhao were also talking about Chen Xiaolin.

"Xiao Lian, I heard that your brother-in-law's daughter is back, right?"

"Well, how did you know this?" Aunt Chen looked at Aunt Zhao curiously. She didn't even tell anyone about it. How did Aunt Zhao know this
