    Mr. Xie was a little embarrassed by Dalang's words.  He naturally knew that in order to make room for them to sleep, a room full of men, women, old and young were crowded together. None of them slept well, and each one got up earlier than the other.

    It's better for the female relatives. Aunt Liu's family already has an empty house, unlike Dalang's family, which has no empty space at all.

    ??Everyone mustered up their energy and quickly started cleaning the house. They had to clear out the room first, so that Mr. Xie and his family could come over and sleep here at night.  As for other places, you can slowly clean them up.

    Xie Wu specializes in sweeping the floor. He carefully cleaned the room on the left first and poured out two handfuls of dust.  Then the Xie brothers and sisters and Dalang fetched water and scrubbed the entire house, including the window lattice, door, Kang and floor.

    Then, Xie Wu went to clean the room on the right.  A few of them were working, and Ping'er came over and asked them to go back to eat.

    ?? Everyone stopped and went over to finish breakfast. Xin Hu and Aunt Liu also came over to help with the cleaning.

    Although there were so many people working, it still took most of the day to clean and scrub the two rooms in the main house and the main room.

    "It's almost the same. Let's try it by burning the kang first." Xie Shuer eagerly walked around the room, expressing that she wanted to test it with her own hands.

    Mr. Xie didn't bother to pay attention to his sister, and said directly to Dalang: "I'll borrow a few bundles of firewood from your house first, and we'll chop it back and return it to you tomorrow."

    "You don't have to be so anxious. Although my family doesn't have much firewood, it won't be enough for these few days. Let's go chop wood after you pack it up." Dalang said.  The house my family lives in now needs to be completely cleaned. How can it be done in a day or two?

    "It's okay. There are many of us. Tomorrow Xie Wu and I will go chop wood, while Qing'er and Shu'er can just do some cleaning at home." Mr. Xie said.  He is also embarrassed to bother everyone.

    While we were talking, the firewood in the kang was burning, and there was a burst of thick smoke in the room, which made everyone burst into tears and kept coughing.

    "Maybe it's blocked. We need to clean it up." Dalang said. He had already had experience. Under his command, Xie Wu and Mr. Xie each cleaned up one side. It took another half an hour.  The kang in the house is finally functioning normally.

    "Thank you all for your help. No need to squeeze everyone tonight." Mr. Xie breathed a sigh of relief and thanked everyone with a smile.

    That night, Dalang and Xinhu helped the Xie family move all their things.  Jiang Dashan couldn't wait to let Dalang help him out of the room where Xinhu and the others slept, and returned to the room where he slept.

    At night, everyone felt tired and took a rest early.  There are currently only two rooms in which the Xie family sleeps, naturally one for the men and one for the women.  Xie Wu and Xie San, two servants, were able to sleep with their master yesterday because they were staying in a stranger's house. Today they barely have their own place, and they are embarrassed to sleep with the master again.  The two wanted to build a floor in the main room.

    Mr. Xie stopped them and said: "How can you pay attention to these things when you are away from home? It's so cold. The best thing about sleeping in the room is burning the kang. How can you support it by laying a bed on the floor? Let's live like this for now and wait until tomorrow.  Clean up the back and see if we can make room for you two to sleep."

    They wandered in the reed forest for three days, but they suffered enough.  Although there were reeds everywhere, they could build a simple straw shed to protect them from the wind and snow, but the straw shed they hurriedly built was low and short, and everyone was crowded inside. Even though there was a fire, they were still freezing.  In the past three days, no one dared to take off their clothes to sleep. Everyone just wrapped themselves in quilts and reluctantly closed their eyes to rest.  After three days of hard work, everyone could no longer support it.

    Xie San and Xie Wu no longer refused. At night, they still slept on the same kang with the young master. The warm fire made everyone sleep comfortably.

    In the morning, after the Xie family got up, they realized that there was no place to cook.

    "I'm going to pick up a few stones and come back. Let's cook a couple of meals together in the main room first," Mr. Xie said.

    "Sir, I'm going to pick it up. Yesterday when I was shoveling snow outside, I piled a few stones at the base of the wall." Xie Wu said.

    Qing'er is already very accustomed to this simple stove built with three or five stones.  She lit the fire and sat on the copper pot filled with water, preparing to boil some water first.

    Mr. Xie has already gone out to fetch water with a small bucket.  When they go out, they keep everything simple. Apart from the necessary pots and bowls, they carry less big things like pots and buckets.  There were two small copper basins, one small wooden basin, and one small wooden barrel.  The basin is for washing and cannot be used to hold clean water.  The bucket is relatively small, and one bucket of water is just enough for cooking.  But right now, there are no utensils in this house, even if they are borrowed from Dalang¡¯s family,, all have the same layout, with three main rooms and three kitchen rooms.  However, the kitchen that the Xie family lived in was larger than those of Dalang's family and Aunt Liu's family. It took most of the day to clean it.  However, there was some harvest, and there were still some household items left in the kitchen, such as rough porcelain bowls with gaps, pots and jars, small benches and square tables with missing arms and legs, small bamboo baskets, etc.

    Everyone was reluctant to throw it away, so they all pulled it to the pond, scrubbed it carefully, picked out the usable ones, and brought them back.

    After working at Xie¡¯s house for five days, I finally tidied up the entire house.

    What makes the Xie family most happy is that the kitchen at the back, the one on the far left, is also equipped with a fire kang. I don¡¯t know if anyone has lived in it. There are also several pots and jars on the kang, two sickles, a pair of large baskets and two  Just a big basket and two new small wooden basins.  These things were all useful, and they were obviously intended to be taken away. They were packed well and put into two large baskets, but somehow they were not taken away in the end.

    That day, Xie San and Xie Wu moved into this small house.  Mr. Xie and Qing'er are a young couple, and it's not good for them to sleep separately all the time.  As soon as the two servants moved out, Mrs. Xie asked her daughter-in-law to move in with her son, and even helped her sleep with her grandson.

    "Let's take it ourselves. We're afraid A Tu will disturb you and Shu'er while they sleep at night." Qing'er said sheepishly.

    "It's okay. I'm old and sleep lightly, and you've been exhausted these past few days. Take a good rest. I want to settle here first. After next spring, let Xie Wu and Xie San go to Beijing to find out.  Go back again. It's serious business for you two to take the opportunity to give me another grandson." Mrs. Xie said half-jokingly, half-seriously.

    ¡°Mom, are you serious?¡± Mr. Xie and Xie Shuer both asked in surprise.

    "Well, aren't they eager for us to die? I want to live well, and I want my whole family to go back in glory. Everything in Xie's house should belong to my son." Mrs. Xie said.

    Seeing that the children were silent, Mrs. Xie added: "I didn't want to fight and gave in step by step, but they didn't think so, but they pressed forward step by step. If we don't take the initiative, we might not even be able to save our lives."

    "It has been more than ten years, but I don't know what the Xie Mansion is like now?" Mr. Xie shook his head, unsure.  He was only nine years old when he left.  Now he is twenty-one years old.  In his memory, he could still clearly remember the two people he hated so much.  I can't remember the rest clearly.

    "There's no rush, let's take our time. These are troubled times. Will these chaos be calmed down in just two or three years? At this time, how can the government have time to take care of the Xie family's messy affairs? They can't even finish the official business. So.  , we still have time." Mrs. Xie said.

    The two Xie brothers nodded and began to think deeply.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
