Chapter 873: Live in a new house, eat dumplings

Unknowingly, a few days passed.

In these few days, the furniture in Wang An's new house had all been completed, from large items like wardrobes and kang cabinets to small items like chairs and stools, all were new.

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

Even the pots, bowls, ladles, and various kitchen utensils were all new.

Of course, the two new houses used exactly the same things.

And the reason Wang An wanted to use everything new wasn't because Wang An was fickle, but because Wang An wanted to perfectly preserve the old house and the various daily necessities in the old house.

Although the significance of doing this wasn't great, Wang An just wanted to do it, and so he did.

There is a saying that goes, "Money can't buy my happiness!"

Anyway, in Wang An's view, the feeling of everything being new as far as the eye could see was truly quite good.

In these few days, not only was the furniture finished, but the courtyard wall of the entire new courtyard had also been completed.

And with the kang being heated continuously every day, the house had also dried out and could be moved into.

Of course, the reason the house could be moved into after drying was also thanks to the building materials of this time.

Because the building materials at this time were basically pure, natural, and pollution-free. If it were like later generations with various formaldehyde excesses, then even if the house had dried out, it would absolutely not be habitable.

Wang An knew how terrifying and evil formaldehyde was.

Living in a place with relatively concentrated formaldehyde for a long time, at best you get dizzy, have nosebleeds, or have red bumps all over your body; at worst, you get anemia or even trigger leukemia.

Therefore, Wang An would definitely not joke with the life and health of his family.

Early this morning, after Wang An's family got up and hadn't eaten breakfast yet, the whole family came to the new courtyard together.

And the reason it was so early was because Wang An's family was moving into the new house today.

To say moving into a new house didn't necessarily require being so early, but Comrade Liu Guilan, because of the time of moving, specifically asked an old gentleman to calculate it.

It is said that during the Mao hour, which is the time from 5 to 7 in the morning, one must cook and eat in the house where Wang Dazhu and the others live.

And during the Wu hour, which is the time from 11 in the morning to 1 in the afternoon, one must cook and eat in the house where Wang An and Mu Xueqing live.

As for why this must be done, the old gentleman's original words were:

"Heaven's secrets cannot be revealed; if you believe, follow it; if you don't believe, then screw it."

To be honest, when Wang An heard this gentleman say "screw it," he almost slapped him directly.

Mainly because this fortune teller, does he also speak dirty words?

It was only seeing Wang Dazhu and Liu Guilan, the couple, both holding this gentleman in high regard, that Wang An put down the hand he was about to raise.

To say Wang An put down his hand, it wasn't entirely because of Wang Dazhu's couple, mainly because this old gentleman, when looking at Wang An's big face, frowned and whispered a sentence.

And that sentence was, "It's truly strange, where did this kid pop out from? This shouldn't be!"

The old gentleman said this sentence very softly, but Wang An heard it clearly.

It is no exaggeration to say that when Wang An heard this sentence, the inner shock was actually very great.

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

But this old gentleman, where did he see that he had a problem?

However, it could also be seen that the old gentleman, although suspicious, was also confused himself, and didn't know if it was Wang An's problem or his own "lack of Taoist skills." It must be admitted that the capable people in this world truly exist.

Fortunately, this slap of Wang An's didn't go out, otherwise he would have really offended the old gentleman.

Mainly because regarding this kind of metaphysical matter, Wang An truly didn't understand it!

So, Wang An finally listened obediently.

Anyway, it was just moving from the old house to the new house to live; sooner or later, it was a matter of no importance.

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

Although the family had visited before, now that they were truly moving over, it was another kind of experience.

It must be admitted that the new house is good; it is truly spacious and bright, making people feel both comfortable and at ease staying inside.

Mainly because the whole family finally didn't have to squeeze into those three small earth houses.

Moving into the new house, although the whole family was very happy, the happiest person was absolutely Wang Yi.

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

But such a big child, before, still had to live with his parents every day. You must know there is an old saying, "Daughters should avoid fathers, sons should avoid mothers."

So Wang Yi living with his parents every day was definitely very inconvenient.

And now, Wang Yi had his own separate room, and besides furniture like wardrobes and kang cabinets, Wang An also thoughtfully made him a desk and matching chair.

This led to Wang Yi's smile never stopping after seeing his room.

As for the sisters Wang Xiaomei and Wang Xiaoli, although they knew the two rooms on the far west belonged to them, because they were still too young, they didn't move over, but still lived with Wang Dazhu's couple.

Breakfast in the countryside is generally very simple, normally porridge and steamed buns with pickles.

However, because of moving into the new house today, Liu Guilan decided that the first meal in the new house must be dumplings.

Because of this, Wang An's yellow sheep was one less last night, becoming today's dumpling filling.

Mainly because in the hearts of Northeast people, as long as it is a festive day, only eating dumplings can reflect it.

For example, you must eat dumplings for the New Year, you must eat dumplings on the first day of the first lunar month, which is the Spring Festival, you must eat dumplings on the Lantern Festival on the 15th of the first lunar month, you must eat dumplings on the four solar terms of spring, summer, autumn, and winter, and you still eat dumplings on the May Festival and August Festival.

Especially on the Winter Solstice, you must eat dumplings.

Because 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 has little to do with whether you eat dumplings on the Winter Solstice.

It's just that in the hearts of Northeast people, there is this deep-rooted idea that you must eat a meal of dumplings on the Winter Solstice to keep your ears.

The whole family worked together, and the speed of wrapping dumplings was simply fast, especially Wang An's speed of wrapping dumplings, one person could almost top the whole family.

Just like that, the first meal after moving into the new house was spent eating dumplings.

Thanks to "Emperor of the Great Empire" for the tip, thank you, thank you.
