Chapter 157 New Cotton Shoes

"The flue has been built in the house, so we can build a kang, and we have to get a stove in the house, otherwise it will be cold in winter."

Lu Aiguo pointed out the location of the flue to Ru Fengying, "Looking back, someday I have time, I'll come over and put the kang on. Yoyo and Lu Ming's huts are also separated, I'll go to Chen Feng to get some planks, Make partitions with planks."

"There's still a lot of work to do. Let my elder brother and Fengtian help. There's not much work in winter, and they're all idle at home."

Ru Fengying calculated the work that Lu Aiguo said, and asked the two of them to do it by themselves, and it would take a long time to finish it.

"I haven't told them about the division of the house yet, let's see when I can tell them."

"Let's just go to my natal home when I go back. It just so happens that the place where we got off the bus is not far from my natal home. We'll go buy some things and take them there later, and tell my mother and others about the new house."

They all asked for leave today, so they just went directly to talk about the new house.

"Come on, let's go out and see where the water room and the toilet are. The water room and the toilet are on both sides. Our side is next to the water room, and the toilet is on the other side."

Lu Aiguo had a smug face on his face. He got this house by lottery. It's not the most edge position, but it's close to the water room and away from the toilet. It's a very good position.

Their household water is convenient, and they will not be smoked because of the smell of toilets in summer.

The two took their two children to see the water room and toilet, and met the neighbors on the same floor who had moved in.

The two parties greeted each other and were very friendly. They will live on the first floor in the future, and they will not see each other when they look down. Everyone wants to get along well.

After seeing the new house, they left the family courtyard and went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative.

The Supply and Marketing Cooperative is a site that Ru Fengying is familiar with, and the salesmen all smiled as soon as she entered.

Ru Fengying was about to greet them, when she realized that all of them were looking at her daughter.

"Here you are, come quickly, Aunt Li will bring you biscuits to eat."

Li Ling took out the biscuits she bought herself, beckoned Yoyo to come over, and gave her some biscuits to eat.

Yoyo is already familiar with these salesmen. When she first met them, she was not afraid of strangers, and she is even less afraid now.

"Thank you, Aunt Li."

Yoyo took the biscuit from Li Ling's hand, and bowed her eyes in thanks.

"I'll give you another piece, and take it to your brother."

Li Ling looked at Lu Ming who was being held by Ru Fengying. This kid was not as lively as Yoyo, and he had been to the supply and marketing cooperative several times, but he was still shy when he saw them.

Yoyo held a biscuit in one hand, ran to Lu Ming and gave him the biscuit.

"Lu Ming, for the biscuits given by Aunt Li, go and thank Aunt Li."

Lu Ming took the biscuit, looked towards Li Ling's counter, and took a tentative step.

Yo Yo pulled him over, and Lu Ming thanked Li Ling.

"Sister Fengying want to buy something? I'll get it for you."

Li Ling saw that Ru Fengying came to her counter, stopped talking to the two children, and began to work seriously.

"Have some trough cakes, and some peach cakes."

Ru Fengying picked up the favorite food of old man Ru and old lady Ru and ordered two things, and it was enough to bring these two things back to her mother's house.

After buying something, Ru Fengying turned her head and found that her daughter was talking to Wang Xiu about her ride on the small train with great interest.

"Hey, let's go, we are going home."

"Goodbye, Aunt Wang, I will tell you about the little train next time we meet."

Youyou said goodbye to Wang Xiu, ran back to Ru Fengying, took her hand, and the family of four left the supply and marketing cooperative.

"Yoyo, the older you get, the more sensible she is. She is so fun. I told me just now that she was riding a small train for the first time. She didn't dare to move around when she got on the train."

"Why is Sister Fengying asking for leave today? She doesn't look like there is something urgent at home."

The person who said this was Han Xiaolan, a newly recruited salesperson this year, who didn't get along very well with Ru Fengying.

Originally, she also wanted to ask for leave today, but Ru Fengying asked for leave before her.

When it was Han Xiaolan's turn, the director asked her the reason for asking for leave, and felt that her matter was not that urgent, so she said that someone had already asked for leave today, and she would be too busy to ask for leave, so she didn't approve her leave.

So when she saw that Ru Fengying's family of four still had time to visit the supply and marketing cooperative leisurely today, she felt unhappy and wanted to provoke a few words.

Everyone understood what Han Xiaolan meant, and those who knew the reason for Ru Fengying's leave asked for help.

"Fengying's family has been assigned a new house, and she asked for leave today to see the new house."

Han Xiaolan's complexion suddenly became even uglier. She couldn't figure out how a person like Ru Fengying would have a new house to live in.

"Her man is quite capable, the job benefits are good, and now the house is divided. The life of Fengying's family is getting better and better."

Han Xiaolan snorted and stopped talking.

Ru Fengying didn't know that after they left, there was a discussion about their family in the supply and marketing cooperative, and she didn't know that she was being targeted by Han Xiaolan.

In the afternoon, four members of Lu Aiguo's family arrived at Ru's house. The Ru's house was very lively today, and four members of Ru Fengping's family also came.

Ru Fengxiang's two children, one of Ru Fengtian's children, and Ru Fengping's two children, all five children were playing crazy in the yard.

Ru Fengying and the others could hear the children playing outside the yard.

"Yunyun and Yimu are here too! I can hear their voices!"

Youyou has sharp ears, and immediately recognized the voices of Ru Fengping's twins.

Lu Ming was very happy. He was about the same age as Yunyun and Yimu. The three children were very happy every time they played together.

Ru Fengying pushed open the door and went in. When the children playing in the yard saw the person coming, they rushed forward enthusiastically.

"Auntie!"

"Auntie!"

The children surrounded Ru Fengying, bouncing around and talking to her.

Yo Yo pulled Lu Ming and ran into the house, shouting as he ran, "Grandma, Grandpa, Lu Ming and I are here to see you!"

Lu Aiguo followed behind them with the shopping in his hands.

"Your eldest sister and they are here."

Ru old lady heard the movement, took a look outside, and said to Ru Fengping.

The old lady Ru greeted her, and she was hugged by Yoyo and Lu Ming as soon as she walked out the door.

"Grandma, Lu Ming and I came to see you, do you think we have?"

"Think about it."

Granny Ru picked up Lu Ming and led them into the house.

"Grandpa, old aunt, old uncle."

After Yoyo and Lu Ming called everyone in the room one by one, they stayed in the room for a while, then ran out to play with Ru Wenlin and the others.

In the room, Ru Fengying and Lu Aiguo talked about the reason why they came here today.

"Mom and Dad, the house of the fourth unit has been divided. We just went to see it today. The location is okay. The house is not too big, just one bedroom and one living room, more than 30 square meters. It is on the third floor, next to the water room, with running water , It is convenient to use water for washing clothes and cooking.”

Ru Fengying talked about the general situation of their new home with a smile on her face.

"The house has been divided so soon? Are you going to move there? Is there anything you can do to help? Ask Li Guijin to help you."

Ru Fengping gave Li Guijin a push. Her eldest sister's business is her business, and if she needs work, just ask her man to help.

Ru Fengying was not polite to her sister, and said directly: "There is nothing in the new house. We have to build a kang, separate the room for the two children, and build a stove. It's a lot of work. My brother-in-law has time. Come to work? Your eldest brother-in-law is in charge of the meal!"

Li Guijin is a person with a lively mind, Ru Fengying and Lu Aiguo are both promising people, it will definitely be beneficial for him to get closer to them.

Let's not talk about it, just look at how his wife and her eldest aunt help to call his wife's natal family.

"The affairs of the eldest sister's house are the affairs of our family. When we start working, the eldest brother-in-law can just tell me."

Li Guijin smiled and agreed, and said to Lu Aiguo.

"Speak to your elder brother and Fengtian later, and let them both help. No one else can do the job of building the kang, so I have to do it. You guys have all the things ready, and I will set up the kang for you. "

Old man Ru finally found his chance to speak. He arranged a job for himself, and after he finished speaking, he looked at Ru Fengying and Lu Aiguo. If they didn't agree, hey, the old man would get angry!
"That's a good thing. I'm still worrying about building a kang. Who of us can do better than dad's. Dad's kang is strong and doesn't emit smoke, and it heats up quickly."

Ru Fengying agreed without hesitation, not forgetting to praise the old man Ru.

This is what she has learned from Yoyo in the past few years. She especially likes to praise others, and also likes to hear others praise herself.

When old man Ru heard the eldest daughter boasting about himself, the little old man raised his chin proudly, glanced at old lady Ru, and showed off to the old woman.

Mrs. Ru was too lazy to look at the virtue of old man Ru who was about to float, she felt that she couldn't admit defeat.

"I made cotton shoes for several children this year, and the children are all here today. Wait, I will take out the shoes, and you call the children in to try and see if they fit."

Ru Fengying instantly understood what Granny Ru meant, and immediately began to praise her.

"The shoes made by my mother are the most comfortable. Why might they not fit? Yoyo always tells me at home that she likes to wear shoes made by grandma the most."

Ru Fengping finally came to her senses, followed in the footsteps of the elder sister, and praised the old lady Ru a few words.

The old lady Ru straightened her body, her eyes swept over the old man Ru, silently declaring her victory.

She has two daughters to praise, she is better than the old man!

The old man Ru turned his head, thinking in his heart whether he should call his two sons back, and compete with the old woman again.

But after thinking about it, he thought it was better to forget it, as for his two sons, each was worse than the other.

It wasn't to help him when he was called, but to make things difficult for him.

The old man Ru was still immersed in his own thoughts, the children playing in the yard had already been called in, and the old lady Ru also found out the cotton shoes she made and put them out.

A total of seven pairs of cotton shoes were laid out on the edge of the Kang.

"What are you calling us in for?"

Ru Wenlin started yelling as soon as he came in, the mang boy didn't know to observe the room first before speaking.

"It's new shoes!"

As soon as Yoyo came in, she saw the cotton shoes on the kang, jumped forward a few steps, and leaned into the arms of old lady Ru.

Lu Ming then yelled "shoes" and ran to Yoyo's side, staring at the cotton shoes with a pair of eyes.

"Cotton shoes!"

Yunyun and Yimu held hands and said in unison.

"Come over and try on the shoes to see if they fit."

The old lady Ru carried Yoyo to the kang first, and then brought her her shoes.

Ru Fengying and Ru Fengping came to help, and the three adults quickly helped the seven children try on the shoes.

"The new cotton shoes are so comfortable, soft and very warm! Grandma, I really like the shoes you made for me, thank you grandma!"

Yoyo walked a few steps on the ground in the new cotton shoes, raised her feet to look at the shoes, and finally raised her face and praised the cotton shoes she made to Granny Ru for comfort.

"Cotton shoes, I like them!"

Yunyun supported Ru Fengping's arm with one hand, and stepped on the ground with two feet, with a smile on his face, expressing his love for the new shoes.

"The cotton shoes made by grandma are the most comfortable! Thank you grandma!"

Ru Wenxiu jumped a few times in her cotton shoes, her face flushed with joy.

"It's all appropriate to dress, isn't it?"

Granny Ru confirmed to the children that she felt extremely satisfied seeing the children happy wearing the cotton shoes she made.

"It's right, just right."

"My shoes are a bit too big, and the insoles fit just right."

"Mine is bigger too!"

The seven children chattered about whether their cotton shoes fit their feet. Except for Ru Wenlin, who grew faster, everyone else's shoes were a little bigger.

"Wen Lin is growing fast, it's time to start growing."

Ru Fengying stretched out her hand to compare Bi Ru Wenlin's stature, and found that he was much taller than the last time she saw him.

Ru Wenlin was happy when she heard her aunt praised him for growing up fast. He was originally the eldest among the children, but now he was a head taller than the other children. He held his head high and felt a little proud.

However, a word from his cousin Yoyo made him unable to lift his head.

"Cousin, I'm in the fourth grade, what grade are you in?"

Ru Wenlin didn't believe that Yoyo could go to the fourth grade. It was not easy for her to go to school at this age, and she was still in the fourth grade. He felt that Yoyo must be bragging.

"Hey, why are you still in the fourth grade? Didn't you just start school this year?"

Ru Fengping was dumbfounded. She clearly remembered that Youyou only started school this year, probably in the first grade.

"Because I skipped a grade!"

Yoyo said proudly, don't be too obvious about wanting to show off in front of relatives.

"Skip a grade? Can you still skip a grade? Does it mean that you can go to school in a different order?"

Ru Fengping asked Ru Fengying for proof of the meaning of skipping a grade. She used to think that Yoyo was a smart kid, but now that he can skip a grade, what a wonderful kid!

In the future, Yunyun and Yimu in their family will be half as good as Yoyo, so it will be great.

"That's almost what it means. The teacher who taught Yoyo said that she knew everything in the first grade, and it would be a waste of time to ask her to go to the first grade. I'm actually worried that she's in the fourth grade. The students in the class are much older than her. I'm afraid she will be bullied."

When Ru Fengying talked about her daughter's excellence in front of her parents, mother, sister, and husband, she felt very proud.

It was the first time she had this feeling, and it was pretty good.

"Are you really in the fourth grade?"

The eldest cousin Ru Wenlin, who was only in the third grade, asked in a low voice with a look of disbelief.

"Of course, I never tell lies!"

Yoyo nodded, and then she saw Ru Wenlin with a sad face and drooping head.

"Yoyo, don't let my father and mother hear about your fourth grade."

Ru Wenlin thought for a while, then approached Yoyo again, discussing with her in a low voice.
