Chapter 444: Chapter 444: Joy of Moving to a New Place

Across the street, Old He had been looking forward to Liu Sisi and others moving in for a long time. As soon as he heard the sound of firecrackers, he immediately went over.

“Haha… So it’s you who have moved in! Why don’t you need any help moving things?”

Di Yelei hurriedly went over and greeted: “Old He! Wasn’t it Lantern Festival yesterday? We just got back from the county and came straight here. We’ll move the small items tomorrow.”

Old He nodded repeatedly: “That’s fine! Those old things aren’t worth much money, so it’s good to change them. As they say, out with the old, in with the new!”

As they were talking, Elderly Mr. Di walked out from the inside using a crutch, laughing and greeting them.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you, who would have thought you aged so much all at once! Fortunately, your spirit is still good, very good! Very good!”

“Fine, fine!”

Elderly Mr. Di didn’t say a word, just holding Old He’s hand, unable to let go for a long time.

Since it was a sudden move, Liu Sisi was not fully prepared, so she had to go to the nearby pastry and candy shop to buy pastries and candies to distribute to everyone.

Everyone chatted and laughed, and before they knew it, they were getting acquainted with each other.

Liu Sisi was busy welcoming the neighbors and distributing pastries and candies to the children. After a good night’s sleep, YingEr had already started playing with the little girls next door.

“Is this your child? Such a good-looking face, a true beauty in the making!”

“Hello, aunties!”

YingEr, with her beautiful looks and sweet-mouthed manners, was able to charm the neighbors.

“You aunties are beautiful too, and your daughters and little sisters are pretty as well!”

However, Zhang Yun, who stood protectively beside her with a grown-up demeanor, wasn’t very likable.

How could the neighbors pass up such a good opportunity to tease?

“When this child grows up, I wonder which family’s son will be lucky enough to have her… When you’re older, I’ll definitely help you find a good family to marry into…”

Everyone laughed and talked, completely disregarding Zhang Yun’s changing face, laughing until their stomachs hurt.

“Oh, this little one is so cute! Just look at how strong and sturdy he is, I can’t help but want to pick him up and take him home to raise myself…”

Neighbors’ eyes shifted to Da Mao, YingEr’s little tail. Da Mao’s round body was even more adorable to the auntie neighbors, who rushed forward to tease him.

After coming to Di Family, Da Mao had a good life, eating and drinking well. His days were so different from before, making his small body round and his face chubby. Even his originally yellow, straw-like hair was becoming darker and glossy.

By the middle of the afternoon, Xuan’er woke up. Naturally, the genteel and quiet Xuan’er was praised by the neighbors, making Liu Sisi quite proud.

More sharp-eyed folks noticed Liu Sisi’s slightly bulging belly, which couldn’t help but make them envious.

Zhang Peng and Guihua were also busy helping and adding necessary items. As it was only a rented house, there was no need to be too particular about it.

Due to Old He’s presence, Liu Sisi warmly invited him to have dinner at their place in the evening.

Old He didn’t hesitate, patting his thigh in agreement.

Liu Sisi was also extremely happy. After thinking for a while, she asked Old Cheng to make a trip to the rice and grain shop in the small town to buy some pure flour, cut a piece of pork, buy some chopped buk choi, and casually wrap some dumplings to eat. She also used eggs to make omelets, filled them with cooked shredded turnip, and made spring rolls, which was enough to get through a meal.

This meal, due to being hastily made, was not exactly top-notch deliciousness, but everyone, who had already been tired from a whole day, still ate up the two big pots of dumplings and two big plates of spring rolls.

In the end, everyone was stuffed and didn’t want to move.

The most interesting one was the medicine pageboy. He was originally helping at the clinic diagonally opposite and came running at the smell of the cooked dishes from this side. He didn’t care about anything and directly came over with his own bowl, eating without asking, even ignoring the calls from the cashier there to go back and help close the shop.

After putting down the bamboo chopsticks, Old He shook his head with satisfaction: “Elderly Mr. Di, do you know what I envy you the most for? It’s not having a good son, but having a good daughter-in-law who can do things so well and cook such delicious food!”

He said this with a sour expression on his face.

Elderly Mr. Di had a big smile on his face, obviously very happy.

“Sisi, she… is knowledgeable… good to the children, to Third Child, and to me…”

Although it was difficult for him to speak, he spared no effort in praising his daughter-in-law.

“I know, I know! She’s good at everything. You see, my daughter-in-law is also very filial to me, but she just…”

Old He and Elderly Mr. Di went to the other side, grumbling about their daughters-in-law.

Liu Sisi didn’t mind everyone’s playfulness. She was so sleepy that after washing the bowls and chopsticks, she went back to the room and lay down.

The shop’s facade was not very large, but the backyard was indeed spacious. Most importantly, the furnishings in the room arranged by Old He were of extraordinary taste, and it was very comfortable to lie down and sleep, except for one thing!

There was no underfloor heating in this room, and it was still not as warm as the Di family’s home.

Fortunately, a charcoal stove was lit in the room to keep warm, and it didn’t feel that cold.

Only after tidying up everything did Di Yelei return to the room quietly and get into bed, naturally waking Liu Sisi.

“Huh? I thought you were already asleep. Are you tired?”

“Tired, not only very tired but also my whole body is sore.”

No wonder her whole body was sore, she had been playing madly all day yesterday, and spent the night curled up in the carriage.

“By the way, how are the children? Have you checked on them? They must all be asleep.”

“Don’t worry, they’re all asleep.”

In the meantime, he took off his clothes and curled up in bed, “Zhang Peng and Guihua’s family have gone back, I originally wanted to keep them temporarily, but they insisted on going back.”

“By the way, there’s no one to take care of our old home, Ah-Huang and Ah-Hua, and those rabbits and chickens…”

“You, you really worry too much.”

Di Yelei hugged her waist, “After we came back, didn’t I ask Old Cheng to go back and check? He’s already looked after them, and you know how capable Ah-Huang and Ah-Hua are. I asked Old Cheng to untie their ropes. Don’t worry!”

Liu Sisi rested her head on his arm, and his muscles were tight and uncomfortable.

She reached out and poked his hard chest, “What are you tense about?”

Having been a couple for so long, she naturally understood Di Yelei’s body language very well!
