A family of three goes through the ages, not being a saint and not helping the poor

The next day at around four o'clock in the afternoon, Chu Anshan was wondering why Chu Mulin hadn't come to see him yet, when he heard someone outside the yard calling his name. He immediately went to the gate to open it.

When he opened the gate, he saw Chu Shan, Chu Mulin's eldest son, standing at the door. He asked Chu Shan, "Brother Shan, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"The house has been repaired. My father asked you to go over and take a look."

"Okay, let's go there now."

More than ten minutes later, Chu Anshan and Chu Shan arrived at the house at the foot of the mountain and saw that not only the house had been repaired, but even the courtyard wall had been built. It was built really fast.

"How is it? Are you satisfied with the house?" Chu Mulin asked Chu Anshan after Chu Anshan looked at the house.

"Satisfied, thank you for your hard work."

"I am not in the right in this matter. It is my duty to help you repair the house. By the way, I have asked someone to dig the well for you. However, you cannot sleep on the kang right away. You need to wait for two days before you can sleep on it."

"I understand. I'll move my belongings here and try to vacate the house before dark."

"Do you want me to find someone to help you move?"

"No need. We just got back to the village and don't have much stuff anyway. We can move everything in a few trips."

"Okay, I won't delay your move. Come to my house if you have any problems." After Chu Mulin finished speaking, he took Chu Shan away.

"Dad, how's the house?"

"It's one-third smaller than the house we live in now. It only has two rooms, a kitchen and a utility room, but it's big enough for our family to live in."

"That's great, when are we moving?"

"Move now, and try to move it before dark. First, put all the small things in the house into the space, and put the big things outside to hide them from anyone."

"it is good."

A few minutes later, Chu Anshan, who had put the table and benches on a wheelbarrow, said to Chu Yiling, "Lingling, your mother and I will take the table and benches over first, and you continue to pack your things at home."

"Wait, did you bring the lock?"

"No."

"Then you can take down the lock of your house and bring it over. Anyway, I'm at home and no one dares to come in and steal things."

"Okay." After Chu Anshan finished speaking, he asked Meng Qiuping to remove all the locks in the house, and then they pushed the wheelbarrow towards their new home.

"Anshan, this house is very nice. I think it's better than the one we live in now."

"As long as you're satisfied, let's put the things into the house quickly. We won't be able to move everything in before dark."

"it is good."

It was around seven o'clock in the evening. The family of three, tired after working all afternoon, lay on the table together. They were so tired that they had no appetite at all.

As for sorting out the things they moved in, they'd better wait until they have time. Anyway, they don't have the energy to sort it out today.

"That's it. I forgot I had to go to the village chief's house."

"Dad, what are you doing at the village chief's house?"

"Of course we have to tell him that we have vacated the house. Otherwise, we will be sorry for all the hard work we have put in."

"Then go quickly. Mom and I will go boil some bath water, and you can take a bath when you come back."

When Chu Anshan heard Chu Yiling's words and said "OK", he took the flashlight and hurried to Chu Mulin's house.

When he arrived at Chu Mulin's house, he saw the whole family sitting in the yard enjoying the cool air. He first greeted the family and then told Chu Mulin that the house had been vacated.

Then he didn't stay any longer and went straight home.
