Rebirth of a Farmhouse with Space

Chapter 12 Eating instant noodles

Afterwards, Han Dazhuang and several other men in the village helped them drive the wooden stakes down. Han Dazhuang said, "You have a large family, and we don't know when we can build a new house, so we will help you build a bigger thatched house!"

Ms. Dong expressed her sincere gratitude, "Da Zhuang, I don't know how to thank you. Also, you, Sister Hua, Sister Wang, thank you so much!"

Sister Hua said generously, "What are you writing? It's not finished yet! To be honest, Sister Dong, we just moved here, and we don't know what the winter is like here. The thatched house probably can't withstand the cold here!"

Ms. Dong also knew this. From the original owner's memory, she knew that the winter here was particularly long and very cold. To say how cold it was, according to modern people's temperature measurement, minus 30 to 40 degrees Celsius was the norm. Under special circumstances, the temperature could drop to minus 50 to 60 degrees Celsius. That was really cold. Many people could not survive and froze to death in the cold winter!

"Well, I'll discuss this with my husband when he comes back. But, how are you going to spend the winter? Are you just going to rely on that thatched hut?"

Sister Hua smiled bitterly. What could she do? That was how she had gotten through the past: firewood. She would stock up on firewood. If it was really cold, she would just sit around the fire and warm herself!

As the sun was setting, the Nan family's first thatched house was successfully built. The villagers were very nice and used wooden sticks and straw to separate the house into two parts. The couple lived on one side, and the three children lived on the other!

Before leaving, Sister Hua took Ms. Dong's hand and whispered, "Sister Dong, are you afraid of things used by the dead? I have a brand new quilt that was taken from a dead person. Do you want it?"

Ms. Dong quickly waved her hand and refused, "Well, I don't want it. It's already June and it's not cold at night. Let's just make do with it for now!"

"Well, since you don't want it, I'll keep it for myself. Oh, by the way, Sister Dong, how come I didn't see your luggage when your family came over? You don't buy everything for your daily life!"

"Oh, our family's luggage was hidden in a place by their father. We'll ask him to get it when he comes back!" Ms. Dong sounded guilty about this lie. The family of five came empty-handed. No, each of them carried a straw bag. But how much stuff could such a small straw bag hold!

My sister asked, "Why, are you afraid that we will rob you?"

"No, we were robbed once before, and several people died. Then I got this problem in my heart. Oh, you know what I mean!"

It's no wonder that he has been robbed before. Maybe it has left a shadow on his mind. It's understandable that one should be on guard against others!

"Well, now that your house is finished, let's go back!"

Ms. Dong said to them, "When I'm ready, I'll invite you to my house for dinner!"

Everyone laughed it off. Who can afford to eat these days? Those who can afford to eat are all wealthy people, and only super-rich officials can afford to eat! They, hum, just listen!

Nanchen and his companions returned to the village after dark. Uncle Zhao asked how things went. Zhao Yunchuan said it was settled. After that, Uncle Zhao didn't ask any more questions and told everyone to go home and sleep, and talk about it tomorrow if there was anything!

Nan Chen was brought home by his two sons. The thatched house was empty. Ms. Dong and Xiao Ya sat on the steps at the door, watching the father and son approaching. "Are you back?"

"Well, is this our thatched cottage?"

"Well, thanks to the help of the villagers, otherwise it would not have been possible to build a thatched house so quickly in half a day!"

"Mom and Dad, do you really have to ask and answer like this? Ah!"

Nan Chen gave Nan Ye a violent look, "What are you talking about, you little brat? Go home now!"

Nan Chen raised his leg and stepped onto the stairs. "They are really thoughtful. They actually raised the house so much!"

Ms. Dong said, "Yes, going up two steps and then going home is a good omen! By the way, have we solved our household registration problem?"

Nan Chen smiled mysteriously and said, "Guess!"

"We won't guess. Don't tease us with tricks that only kids can play!"

Nan Chen took out the household registration certificate of their family of five from his arms, spread it in front of Ms. Dong and said, "It's settled. Our family's household registration is now in Xiangyang Village, Huaian County. This is the household registration certificate of our family of five. From now on, we have no relationship with that family anymore!"

In the household registration, he gave his wife and children their real names. Even Xiao Ya, Nan Chen gave her a name on the spot, Nan Zhaozhao!

"Nan Zhaozhao, am I not Song Xiaoya?" Xiaoya didn't understand how her surname changed from Song to Nan!

So, Nan Chen made up a big and round white lie for Xiao Ya! The story is too long, and the author doesn't want to write it, so many words are omitted here!

Xiaoya's eyes widened, and her expression made the whole family laugh. Under the moonlight, with his wife and children by his side, he was so lucky! Nanchen pointed at the bright moon in the sky and asked, "Do you know why there is always a person on the moon chopping trees with an axe?"

Nan Ye and Nan Huai didn't want to answer such a naive question. People of their time had already gone to the moon to investigate. There were no big trees, no Chang'e, and no Wu Gang!

Nan Ye was about to speak when he was interrupted by Nan Chen, "Don't come and ruin the mood!"

Well, Nan Huai didn’t need to say anything. He stood up and went to the inner room and soon came out again, “Dad, you haven’t had dinner yet, come on, eat!”

What a familiar taste, what a familiar bowl of instant noodles. Nan Chen said in surprise, "Instant noodles? Oh, Lao Er is still better!"

Nan Huai replied, "This is what my mother left for you!"

Nan Chen responded while eating, "Yeah, thank you, wife. By the way, are you guys eating instant noodles today?"

Ms. Dong replied, "Yes, today our Xiaobao took out a dozen instant noodles, the kind that comes with a big bowl for every dozen you buy. I remember there was a promotion at the supermarket before, so I went to grab a few dozen! Fortunately, the pattern on the packaging was so realistic that Xiaobao was tempted and took it out!"

Nan Chen smiled, "Our little treasure is really smart!" He was about to raise his hand to pinch little treasure's cheek, but was blocked by Ms. Dong, "What do you want to do? Little treasure is asleep, you pinch her to wake her up! By the way, I haven't asked you yet, how did we get our household registration? Didn't they say that our family is already an illegal resident? Can an illegal resident get a household registration?"

Nan Chen was really hungry, so he quickly finished a bowl of instant noodles in just a few mouthfuls, and finally swallowed all the soup and noodle residue. After he was full and drunk, he wiped his mouth and said with satisfaction, "Well, the products from our world are still delicious!"

Ms. Dong said, "I'm asking you a question!"

Nan Chen handed the bowl of noodles to Nan Huai and asked him to take it into the inner room. Then he put away their family's household registration certificates one by one before returning.
