Chapter 612: Chapter 612: How to Relieve Worry?
That was true indeed. Recollecting the beating Zhuang Luhe used to endure from the Sun Family, Qiao Changshun couldn’t refrain from nodding heavily, “That’s right.”
The house is currently filled with joy. Zhuang Luhe has come to live with them, enjoying the fruits of their struggle.
She had suffered too much in the past, but now she has finally turned the tide.
Thinking of the surprised expression Zhuang Luhe would show when she saw the state of the house, Qiao Changshun felt cheerful again, “Should we fix up the house a bit?” Their house hadn’t been spruced up for a year now, so it was overdue for some attention.
“How should we spruce it up?”
“Clean it up, get some new furniture?” suggested Qiao Changshun.
“No need, we’ll all move to the manor later,” said Qiao Xiaomai.
Cen Hong has been appearing frequently, which indicates that Yang Wang still harbors doubts about that brick.
So, Qiao Changshun and Qiao Dami should also move. Let Yang Wang decide what to do with this house when the time comes.
Anyway, after the back-and-forth meddling from Tong Sanlang and her, that piece of land has mixed with the surrounding area and doesn’t seem out of place anymore.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Changshun thought for a moment, then nodded, “Sounds good. Let’s eat, we’ve been busy all morning, must be hungry by now.”
“Alright, let’s eat.” Xiaomai looked at Tong Sanlang.
Tong Sanlang had been the one doing most of the work that morning while she had just been passively lending a hand.
“Let’s eat.” Tong Sanlang said with a faint smile on his handsome face.
The atmosphere of the Qiao Family was far better than his home’s. So sweet and innocent, it was lovely.
After a not-so-delicious lunch, Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang, accompanied by Dami, headed to the town.
They had many things to buy, their house didn’t even have a broom anymore, so replacements were needed.
The kitchenware and pots were all made of iron, they didn’t have a choice with them. However, there was a variety to select from for bowls. If they chose aesthetically pleasing bowls that suited their taste, it would certainly enhance their mood when eating.
But after inspecting the grocery store, Xiaomai frowned.
This was after all ancient times, not as lavish and varied as the supermarkets in the modern world. After looking around, she didn’t find anything she particularly liked.
Tong Sanlang noticed her expression and asked the shopkeeper, “Shopkeeper, can these bowls and plates be customized?”
“How would you like them customized?” the shopkeeper asked.
“Bring some drawings and transfer those designs onto the bowls and plates”
“Alright,” the shopkeeper agreed without hesitation, “But it’ll cost more.”
“No problem,” Tong Sanlang looked at Xiaomai, who said cheerfully, “You can just name your price, shopkeeper.”
Tong Sanlang’s idea was exactly what she wanted!
These are things they use every day, they should customize to fit their own taste!
Since they decided to customize, they could only buy some ordinary coarse porcelain bowls and plates for now. After buying the bowls and dishes, they needed to buy rice and flour. Other than her and Tong Sanlang’s room, the other rooms in the house were completely empty.
After buying the rice and flour, they bought some other essentials for their home. The bullock cart was piled high with their purchases, and the three did not return to the village until dusk.
Xiaomai made a quick dinner, and after dinner, she took Dami back to the Qiao Family home.
Then they returned to the quiet Tong Family home.
A candle was lit in the kitchen and another one in the room, adding light to the pitch-black night.
Of course, it was incomparable to modern lighting, but she had adjusted to it. She held Tong Sanlang’s hand with one hand and stretched the other out, “Finally, we have a home that is completely ours.”
She couldn’t hide the joy in her voice, causing Tong Sanlang to break into a smile as well.
He also extended his arm but then, after a moment, turned around, embraced Xiaomai, and leaned in to kiss her lips.
Xiaomai opened her lips to welcome his gentle kiss.
She knew he was not in a good mood, so she would help him forget about all those troubles.
The two of them didn’t even care about taking a bath, they held onto each other and went back to their room. They couldn’t bear to break their kiss even for a moment.
How can one ease the worries?
Only through lovemaking.
