The National Day of 1954 came as scheduled, and Tang Xin turned five years old.

As in previous years, the whole family spent a lively and happy day in the old house. Tang Xin and her brother deliberately stayed in the old house for two more days before being taken home. If it weren't for going to school, the older brother wouldn't want to go home. It would be so much fun to play with his cousins ​​in the old house every day. They slept together at night and played together during the day.

Even Tang Xin likes living in the old house very much. Her brother sleeps with her cousins, and she can sleep in a room by herself, not to mention how comfortable she is. The desire to have her own room became even stronger. After returning home, Tang Xin told her parents what she thought.

"Dad, Mom, I am already five years old and a big child. When can I have my own room?"

"What's wrong, sugar baby, why did you suddenly have this idea? Isn't it good to live with mom and dad?" Tang's mother asked in surprise. Although she has had her own room since she was very young, it was because her natal home was large enough and had enough rooms. But now most people's homes are small, and generations are crowded together, so it is common for children to sleep with their parents.

"I have grown up. My aunt said that everyone needs to have their own space. I also want to have a space that is completely my own. I am no longer a child. I will never grow up if I sleep with you." Tang Xin tried his best to explain to his parents in a child's tone.

"Hey, it turns out that our sugar baby has grown up. Our sugar baby is now a big girl and wants to have his own separate room." Father Tang heard his daughter say this. He hugged his daughter and lamented that her daughter had finally grown up.

"Yes, Dad, I have grown up and can take care of myself. When I was at my aunt's house, my aunt prepared a separate room for me. I can decorate it according to my own preferences. I like this feeling very much. "Tang Xin said to Father Tang seriously.

"Yes, the sugar baby is now five years old, and it's time for him to have his own room. Zhan Bo slept in a separate room when he was about this age. Now that the sugar baby has brought it up, we can't favor one over the other, right?" Tang's father said to Tang. Mom said.

"But with the current situation in our family, how can we make more space for the sugar baby?" Tang's mother looked at the room with a headache. In such a big place, the family's things and the couple's books were all piled up. ,The house is too small.

"Don't worry, let's think of a way. My daughter finally made a request. It's not an excessive request. We have to find a way to satisfy it." Father Tang got up and walked around the house, looking at the room.

"Zhan Bo, come out." Tang's father suddenly shouted into his brother's room.

"Come here, what's going on?" Zhan Bo put down the pen in his hand and came out quickly.

When Tang's mother saw her son coming out, she immediately understood what her husband meant. She also thinks her husband's plan is okay.

"That's right, Mom and Dad want to discuss something with you." Tang's father and Tang's mother looked at each other and then said.

"Dad, what are you talking about? I'm not used to being so serious." Zhan Bo immediately sat up straight and looked at his father nervously. He didn't make any mistakes.

"Why are you nervous? You see, your sister is getting older now. Our house is just such a big place. Your mother and I want to clean up your room and divide it into two small single rooms, so that you and your sister can have both. My own room." Tang's father explained.

"Hey, I thought it was such a big deal, so why should you discuss it with me? Isn't this the right thing to do? We only have so much space in our house. Apart from my room, we can't separate your rooms." Zhan Bo said Very interesting.

The couple was very pleased with their son's understanding. "Isn't this because I'm worried that you might feel uncomfortable if half of your room is given to your sister?" Tang's mother explained.

"I am an elder brother, and as an elder brother, of course I have to let my sister live. As long as she wants it, she can give her my things, let alone half of the room." Zhan Bo said generously.

Tang Xin was so moved. This brother is so kind. He has known how to love and care for his sister since he was a child.

Tang's father and Tang's mother were also very moved after hearing this. They have not been educated in vain for so many years.

"What a good brother and a good son to his parents." Father Tang patted his son on the shoulder happily.

"Thank you, brother, you are such a good brother." Tang Xin also quickly flattered him.

After listening to his parents' words, Zhan Bo puffed up his chest proudly.

The matter was settled like this, Tang's father and Tang's mother planned to separate the room quickly before the weather got cold. Just do it. The next day, Tang’s father contacted the carpenter, came to see the room, and decided on the approximate wood needed. Tang’s father wanted to replace the brother and sister’s beds with new ones, and then each of them would have a small desk, and finally It would be nice to add a small cabinet.

Tang Xin immediately thought of the bunk beds in her dormitory when she was in college in her previous life, with desks and cabinets underneath and beds above. So I told Dad Tang and the carpenter my thoughts. After Tang's father understood, his eyes lit up. "This is great. It saves space and meets your needs. My daughter is smart."

After hearing this, the carpenter studied it and said he could do it. What a clever idea, it will save a lot of space in every house in the future. If I push this out, I will definitely be able to take on more jobs. Immediately, the master carpenter said that he would only charge cost for this job, hoping to promote this design. Of course there's no problem. Even if the master doesn't give them a discount, there's nothing they can do about it. Besides, this is not a secret, anyone who has seen it will know it. This master is also benevolent and righteous, so why wouldn't they do it? So it was settled and everyone was happy.

Since his brother's room needed to be tidied up and the original things in it still needed to be found somewhere to put them, Tang's father ordered another large cabinet, and the carpenter only charged the cost. The house must have been a mess these days, so Father Tang and Mother Tang decided to pack up the two children and send them to their aunt's house together.

Of course my aunt is very happy that her two children can live here. This man is old, he likes to be lively, and he especially likes to see children around him. She had no children, so she regarded her cousin's children as her own, and Tang Xin and the others were naturally her grandchildren.

Tang Xin and her brother were very happy living here because their aunt was very open-minded and gave them the greatest freedom. Her brother, who had already begun to become more stable, also started to let himself go a little bit.

Happy days are always short-lived. Before long, the house was tidied up, the new furniture was painted, and it was time to go home.
