Chapter 207: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

 Chapter 207: Moving into a New Home, Xin'er Faints (7)

Next, Mo Qingze took a new broom and entered the main house, starting to sweep from every corner and sweeping all the way to the center of the house and then to the front door, symbolically sweeping out any impurities.

Then, Mo Qingze placed eight yellow paper charms prepared yesterday at the front door to worship the "house god" of the new home. Afterward, the family of four each held three incense sticks and walked inside and outside the house in a circle before inserting the remaining half of the incense sticks into the incense burner.

...

By the time the moving ceremony was completed, almost half an hour had passed.

Mo Qingze had finished what he needed to do and began to entertain the neighbors who came to congratulate them on moving in. Since it wasn't a housewarming day, after the villagers expressed their congratulations, they left one after another, taking with them the children who couldn't bear to leave with their pockets full of candies.

As it approached noon, according to custom, on the first day of moving into a new home, a fire must be lit to cook a meal, and the whole family must sit together to eat.

Mo Yan let several impatient little ones go see their own rooms and went to the kitchen with Li Xiu to cook.

The kitchen of the Mo family was built next to the main house, close to the courtyard wall, with two doors. One door opened to the outside, leading to the courtyard, and the other opened to the inside, leading to the dining hall. As long as the door was tightly closed when cooking, the cooking fumes wouldn't drift into the dining hall.

The dining hall was connected to the reception hall, and the reception hall was connected to the hall where the Buddha was enshrined. On the other side of the hall was a large study. With the current development trend, the large study would be useful for handling more and more family affairs in the future.

Mo Yan was in charge of cooking this meal, with Li Xiu's help. In less than half an hour, they had prepared eight home-cooked dishes.

"Big sister, how's our kitchen? I think the fire here burns even better than the one in the city!"

At this moment, Zhen'er rushed in, took the fire tongs from Li Xiu's hand, and forcefully stuffed some firewood in. Seeing the flames ignite quickly, he excitedly exclaimed.

Smelling the burnt scent of rice in the pot, Mo Yan quickly pulled out the firewood and lightly slapped him, somewhat amused and exasperated, "Aren't all hearths the same? This fire burns better because the firewood is drier. Don't make a mess."

"It's obviously because this kitchen is better."

Zhen'er looked around the spacious and bright kitchen, muttering softly. It was even better than the room he slept in before.

Mo Yan couldn't be bothered to argue with him. The newly built kitchen was all new, naturally cleaner and prettier than the one they had used for who knows how many years before.

Moving into a new home, everyone's mood was very excited. During the meal, Mo Qingze took out a bottle of wine, poured himself and Li Zhong a full glass, and also poured a shallow layer for Mo Yan and the others.

Mo Qingze stood up with his glass and said emotionally, "From now on, this will be our home, and we are no longer rootless wanderers! With this glass of wine, I wish our future days will be better and better."

Mo Yan and the others also stood up one after another, thinking of the hardships they had gone through along the way, each expressing their beautiful wishes for the future life. Finally, with a toast from Mo Qingze, they each drank up their wine.

Perhaps because they were in such a good mood, Mo Qingze drank quite a bit and ended up getting drunk. Li Zhong also drank quite a bit, but fortunately, he was still conscious. He reluctantly helped Mo Yan to take Mo Qingze to the bedroom and lay him down before being supported back to his own room by Li Xiu.

There was nothing else to do in the afternoon, so Mo Yan and the others began to organize the things they had moved from the city.

Originally, some unnecessary old items were discarded by Mo Yan. There weren't many things moved from the city, just bedding and clothes bought last year. It was a pity to throw them away after only using them for a year, so they were all brought over.

Now there were many rooms in the house. In addition to each of the four members of the Mo family having their own suite, there were also several vacant guest rooms, so there was a need for more bedding.

The previously used items could be used as mattresses, and the quilts were filled with cotton picked by Mo Yan from the space and made into new quilts at the cotton mill, which were even better than the highest-grade quilts sold in stores.

"Oh my goodness, a snake! There's a snake! Sister, help!"

Mo Yan was tidying up her room when suddenly she heard Xin'er's terrified scream from the courtyard.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly rushed out, only to see the huge head of the red python poking over the high courtyard wall.

The red python saw Mo Yan, and its eyes burst with joy. It opened its huge mouth and hissed incessantly, twisting its thick body faster. In just a few moments, it had already squeezed in halfway.

Seeing the snake, which was twice as thick as her body, climbing over the wall, Xin'er was so frightened that her legs went weak. As the snake seemed about to pounce on her, she immediately fainted...
