Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 871 Living in a New House and Eating Dumplings

Before I knew it, a few days had passed.

During these few days, all the furniture in Wang An's new house has been made, from the wardrobe, kang, piano and table to the chairs and benches, all are new.

Including the bedding and pillows for everyone in the family, all are new.

Even the pots, pans, shovels, cooking lids and other kitchen utensils are all new.

Of course, both new houses used exactly the same stuff.

The reason why Wang An wanted to use all new things was not because Wang An was tired of the old and loved the new, but because Wang An wanted to perfectly preserve the old house and the various daily necessities in the old house.

Although there was not much significance in doing so, Wang An just wanted to do it, and so he did it.

There is a saying that goes, “Money can’t buy me happiness!”
Anyway, in Wang An's opinion, everything seems new wherever he looks, which is good.

During these few days, not only was the furniture completed, but the walls of the entire new courtyard were also completed.

Moreover, with the kang heated every day without interruption, the house has dried up and is ready for occupancy.

Of course, the reason why the house can be occupied as soon as it is dry is also due to the building materials at that time.

Because the building materials at that time were basically pure natural and pollution-free. If the formaldehyde content exceeded the standard like in later generations, then even if the house was completely dry, it would still be uninhabitable.

Wang An knew how scary and evil formaldehyde was.

Living in an environment with high concentrations of formaldehyde for a long time may cause dizziness, nosebleeds, or red bumps all over the body at the mildest, or direct anemia or even leukemia at the worst.

Therefore, Wang An would never joke about the lives and health of his family members.

Early that morning, after Wang An's family got up, before having breakfast, the whole family went to the new yard together.

The reason why it was so early was because Wang An’s family was moving into their new house today.

There is no need to move into the new house so early, but Comrade Liu Guilan specially asked the old man to calculate the time of moving.

It is said that during the Mao period, which is the time from 5 to 7 in the morning, we have to cook and eat in the house where Wang Dazhu and his family live.

At noon, which is from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., cooking and eating must be done in the house where Wang An and Mu Xueqing live.

The specific reason for this is as follows:
"The secret of heaven cannot be revealed. If you believe it, do it. If you don't believe it, then you'll be defeated."

To be honest, when Wang An heard this gentleman say "If you don't believe me, just kill him", he almost slapped this gentleman in the face.

The main thing is, this fortune teller, does he also like to swear?
Seeing how much Wang Dazhui and Liu Guilan admired this gentleman, Wang An put down his hand that was about to be raised.

The reason why Wang An put his hand down was not entirely because of Wang Dazhu and his wife, but mainly because the old gentleman frowned and whispered something when he looked at Wang An's big face.

And this sentence is "This is really weird, where the hell did this guy come from? This shouldn't be possible!"

Although the old man spoke in a low voice, Wang An heard it clearly.

It’s no exaggeration at all. When Wang An heard this, he was actually very shocked.

Because no one knew about Wang An's rebirth except Wang An himself.

But how the hell did this old man know that there was something wrong with him?

However, it can be seen that although the old man had doubts in his heart, he himself was also confused and did not know whether it was Wang An's problem or his own "lack of Taoist skills". We have to admit that talented people in this world do exist.

Fortunately, Wang An did not slap the old man in the face, otherwise he would have offended the old man.

The main thing is that Wang An really doesn’t understand this kind of metaphysical things!

So, Wang An finally obeyed obediently.

Anyway, it's just moving from the old house to the new house. It doesn't matter if it's earlier or later.

Just like that, Wang An's entire family came early in the morning.

Although the family had visited the place before, now that we have actually moved in, it is a completely different experience.

I have to say that this new house is great. It is spacious and bright, making people feel comfortable and at ease staying in it.

The most important thing is that the whole family no longer has to live in those three small mud houses in a crowded place.

Although the whole family was happy to move into the new house, the happiest person was definitely Wang Yi.

Because Wang Yi is already 14 years old this year, and a 14-year-old child can definitely be called a serious grown-up child.

But a child of this age still has to live with his parents every day. You know, there is an old saying that goes, "Girls should avoid their fathers when they grow up, and boys should avoid their mothers when they grow up."

So it is definitely very inconvenient for Wang Yi to live with his parents every day.

Now, Wang Yi has his own room, and in addition to furniture such as a wardrobe and a kangqin, Wang An also thoughtfully made him a desk and a matching chair.

This resulted in Wang Yi having a constant smile on his face after he looked at his room.

As for the sisters Wang Xiaomei and Wang Xiaoli, although they knew that the two rooms on the westernmost side belonged to them, they did not move there because they were too young. Instead, they continued to live with Wang Dazhu and his wife.

Farmers’ breakfast is usually very simple, consisting of porridge, steamed buns and pickles.

However, because they were moving into a new house today, Liu Guilan decided that she must make dumplings for the first meal in the new house.

Because of this, one of Wang An’s yellow sheep was missing last night and became today’s dumpling filling.

Mainly because in the minds of people in Northeast China, as long as it is a festive day, the joy can only be reflected by eating dumplings.

For example, we eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year, on the first day of the first lunar month, which is the Spring Festival, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival, on the four solar terms of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and on May Day and August Day.

Especially on the winter solstice, you must eat dumplings.

If you don’t eat dumplings on the Winter Solstice, your ears will easily freeze off this winter.

Of course, whether your ears will freeze off actually has little to do with whether you eat dumplings on the Winter Solstice.

However, in the hearts of Northeastern people, there is a deep-rooted idea that they must eat dumplings on the Winter Solstice in order to protect their ears.

The whole family worked together to make dumplings at a very fast speed, especially Wang An, who could almost do the work of the whole family by himself.

In this way, the first meal after moving into the new house was spent eating dumplings.
