Chapter 145 145. Renovating the house

After dinner, it gradually became darker. Lin Qingxi handed over the work of cleaning up the dishes to the young children. She and Zhou Mingbai squatted by the well and cleaned up the pigs. She first took the pot and boiled water for everyone to take a bath. When everyone finished taking a bath, she put the pigs in the pot and brine them.

"Go to the living room to sit! The kitchen is too hot," Lin Qingxi looked at Zhou Ming. His forehead was sweating a little, and he hurriedly pulled him to the living room.

"It's getting late, everyone should go to bed! Get up early tomorrow to help with work," Lin Qingxi said loudly as she looked at the children who were still playing in the living room.

Seeing Lin Qingxi speaking, Lin Yizheng and the others went back to their room to rest one after another. Zhou Ming realized that he was naturally with his wife and his wife didn't sleep. Could it be that he could not stay alone in the empty room? Naturally, it would not work.

The pig was brine in the pot for about an hour. Lin Qingxi put the pig water out and put it in a wooden bucket. Then she soaked the marinade. She cleaned the pot, then pulled the firewood from the stove to extinguish it, and then pulled Zhou Mingbai to go back to the room to go to bed.

"Dongdongdongdongdongdongdong!" The door was suddenly knocked, and Lin Qingxi asked Zhou to understand and open the door, and stood in the yard and waited.

"Brother and sister-in-law, you are here, come in quickly, it's so late, have you had dinner?" Zhou Mingbai opened the door and saw that it was Lin Qingping and Xu Ling who came with big bags.

"I didn't eat, did my little sister sleep? If I didn't sleep, I asked her to cook a bowl of noodles for us alone. We will all starve to death," Lin Qingping said without hesitation.

"Okay, I'll go to the kitchen to cook for you first. It'll be fine soon. You go to the living room to rest," Lin Qingxi stood in the yard, and naturally heard Lin Qingping's voice and saw the two of them.

After Zhou Mingbai came in, he locked the yard door, then took the luggage from Xu Ling's hand and walked towards the living room. When he arrived at the living room, Zhou Mingbai put down his things, came to the cabinet, and poured a glass of sugar water for the two of them.

"Brother, sister-in-law, the water is a bit hot. You drink it carefully. Why will it arrive now? We thought you won't arrive tomorrow morning," Zhou Mingbai said and sat down on the low stool next to him.

"It was supposed to arrive at 3:00 pm, but the train was two hours late, so we delayed here a little. Fortunately, we came half a month in advance. As soon as the work there was handing over, we packed our luggage and came here," Lin Qingping said, picking up the pastry on the table and handing it to his wife, and he also took the piece and started eating.

"I understand, when did you arrive? I see that everything at home is ready. Thank you and your younger sister," Xu Ling said while eating. Although this is impolite, she is really hungry.

"We have only been two days ago. The children have cleaned up the house. This time, Xibao and I brought several of our cousin's children to see the world," Zhou Mingbai paused and continued, "Brother, sister-in-law, do you see if you slept with Jingjing Lulu or sleep next door? They were all cleaned up."

"No need, let's take a look at it first at night! Let your sister-in-law and little sister go to sleep with two girls. I'll just sleep with you. I guess Yizheng can't squeeze out any more," Lin Qingping shook his head. There are many children in the Zhou family, and with the children of their two families, he can still sleep wherever he goes.

"Okay, let's go tonight. Xibao said he would expand his home, add a few houses, and demolish the wall to make an arch to facilitate entry and exit. Construction will start tomorrow," Zhou Mingbei said it in advance so that the two of them could be mentally prepared.

"I remember my younger sister bought it next door, right? There are many children in the family, so I really need to build a few rooms, otherwise it would not be enough for the children to sleep," Lin Qingping nodded and continued, "How many rooms are you planning to expand?"

"We have two sheds here to park bicycles and put on firewood, and four small rooms to sleep there. We have two sheds and two rooms to move the kitchen to the newly built house. The two newly built houses are made into kitchens and bathrooms, and the kitchen is demolished into a sleeping room, which is connected to the living room," Zhou Mingbai said truthfully that he and Lin Qingxi had discussed.

"Okay! This is very reasonable. How much does it cost? Since this house was bought for Yizheng and Yirong, you can't pay for the money for renovating the house there. Wife, you can pay the money at that time."

Lin Qingping nodded and said, Zhou Mingming didn't say anything, he was not easy to express his opinion on this matter, and Lin Qingping and his wife also knew about it and planned to talk to Lin Qingxi at that time.

The three people communicated very harmoniously in the living room. In the kitchen, Lin Qingxi directly cooked two kilograms of noodles. She first set the heat up, fryed two eggs, and then poured half a pot of cold water. Before the water could boil, she quickly took some pig intestines from the brine bucket and put them on the chopping board to cut them into pieces, then washed the pig liver and cut it into slices.

Then, Lin Qingxi put some salt and cooking wine and still minced ginger onion, then washed two green onions and seven or eight water spinaches. After the noodles were cooked, she threw the onion slices, water spinaches, pickled pork liver slices and braised large intestine into the pot and cooked them together with the noodles for two or three minutes.

Before the pot was served, I added salt and a little soy sauce to season it, and then put it in two large bowls. Lin Qingxi took two pairs of chopsticks and placed it on the bowl, shouting outside: "Brother, understand, brother. The noodles are cooked, come and serve them quickly."

"Here," Zhou Mingbai stood up first and walked towards the kitchen. Lin Qingping followed him. When the two of them went to the kitchen to bring the noodles, Lin Qingping and Xu Ling came to eat.

In the kitchen, Lin Qingxi cleaned the pot, then went to the yard to make two buckets of cold water and heated it into the pot, added enough firewood to the stove and went to the living room.

"How is it? Is it enough?" Lin Qingxi asked loudly at her brother and sister-in-law who was eating the noodles.

"It's enough, it's getting late, so you can go and rest first!" Lin Qingping ignored her and continued to eat.

"Xibao, you and your sister-in-law go to Jingjing and Lulu's room to sleep! My brother sleeps with me tonight, wait until tomorrow to open the middle door and re-arrange your residence," Zhou Mingbai looked at Lin Qingxi and said in a low voice.

"Okay, then I'll go to bed first. I'll boil hot water in the pot. You can take a shower and rest quickly," Lin Qingxi nodded, went to the cabinet and took a thin quilt, and then walked into Yijing and Xie Lu's room to sleep. In order not to wake up, she didn't even turn on the light.

Lin Qingxi was busy for a day today and couldn't stand it, so she fell asleep before Xu Ling came back.

After Lin Qingping and Xu Ling figured out that they were lying on the bed to rest, it was already late at night. After the two of them finished their noodles, Lin Qingping fed hot water and went to take a shower. When he was taking a shower, Xu Ling washed the dishes and chopsticks of them. When he came out, she also brought the hot water in to take a shower.
