Chapter 153 Preparing to Move
It was just a few scoldings; Grandma was only worried about the money, but she never questioned her decision and always silently supported her.
The next morning, Lin Xi and her family dressed in their most formal attire.
Lin Guiying said it had to be worthy of the villa.
Lin Xi wanted to say it wasn't necessary, but in the end she swallowed her words.
Their family has indeed made a huge leap, from having to save every penny to having millions in their bank account, from an old brick house to a magnificent villa.
Everything happened in just six months.
Everyone is still getting used to it.
Otherwise, why would someone dress up specially to go back to their own home?
She could imagine how everyone must have looked when they first moved in, afraid to touch this or that, lest they get it dirty or damaged.
All of this is simply because I am not strong enough.
She will give the family the confidence to strive to be strong and confident.
Upon arriving at the residential compound, the security guard immediately opened the gate with an incredibly welcoming attitude.
Yesterday they received a notice that the community would be welcoming a new homeowner, the little girl who always greeted him and would occasionally bring him food.
So at this moment, they sincerely welcomed the Lin family and even greeted Lin Guiying, saying, "You must be Xiaoxi's grandmother. Your cooking is so delicious. Xiaoxi brought me a chicken stew with mushrooms last time, and it smelled amazing."
Although Lin Guiying had only visited once and did not know him, she would respond warmly when her granddaughter mentioned him, saying, "If you want to eat anything in the future, just tell Auntie and come to our house to eat."
Security guard Wang Lin was an orphan with no home. Upon hearing this, a warm feeling welled up in his heart, and his nose tingled. "Thank you, ma'am."
By showing kindness and creating positive connections, the Lin family later enjoyed many benefits because of their unintentional concern for the security guard.
Along the way, Lin Guojun and Lin Guiying looked around, their eyes brimming with undisguised smiles.
The wide road is lined with meticulously manicured greenery and flowers arranged in a pleasing manner, exuding a fresh and natural atmosphere in every corner.
Modern buildings rise up one after another, with exquisite appearances and unique design. The buildings are spaced far apart, ensuring that every household has ample natural light and a wide view.
There's also a plaza not far away with various fitness and recreational facilities, as well as slides and swings for children...
Although I've already seen it, I still can't help but marvel. After all, the feeling is different. Before, it was like buying a ticket to visit a tourist attraction; now, I'm admiring the place where I'll live in the future.
Arriving at a double copper door, a sense of antiquity and weightiness washed over her. Lin Guiying unconsciously touched the carvings on it, exclaiming, "My goodness, even the door is so beautiful."
"Grandma looks even better inside!"
The door opened, revealing a spacious and bright living room. Sunlight streamed onto the smooth, mirror-like floor tiles, creating a golden glow.
Lin Guojun looked at the soles of his shoes. "Just going in like this?"
Lin Xi pulled Lin Guojun, "Come in, come in! This is our home from now on. Do whatever you want, just like your old home."
Even so, the group still took off their shoes.
Lin Guiying was like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden, exclaiming repeatedly, "This sofa is so big it could be used as a bed!"
"What's this? The oven you're talking about? It doesn't look cheap."
"Look, this plate is brand new and thick; it doesn't look like it's going to break easily."
"The dining table is big enough now. Once it's moved over, we'll invite everyone over for a meal!"
After looking around the kitchen for a long time, Lin Guiying finally turned around and went upstairs.
"Oh dear, thank goodness I wasn't wearing shoes. The stairs are carpeted, and the light color would have gotten dirty so easily!"
Stepping on it, the soft, warm touch made Lin Guojun exclaim, "You know, the rich really know how to enjoy life. They walk like they're walking on cotton."
Lin Xi reminded him again, "Grandpa, this is our home. We walk on it every day, so feel free to walk on it."
Upstairs there are five bedrooms, plus a study and a living room, and the decor is more cozy compared to downstairs.
Lin Guiying visited each room one by one, her praise never ceasing.
The bed was already made up. She gently pressed it down, sat down, and looked around, her eyes filled with surprise, happiness, and disbelief.
"I can't believe we'll be living in this palace."
“When I visited your master’s house before, I thought to myself, ‘I wish we could live in this big house someday.’ But it was just a casual thought. Who would have thought that we would actually live here?”
"Grandma, let's move here tomorrow. Dad's busy with the shop, so it'll save us from having to move every day."
Lin Guojun walked around with his hands behind his back, extremely satisfied. "I'll sleep on the sofa."
He pointed again, "It's the sofa in front of that big TV. You can watch TV and have a few drinks at night, and then fall asleep as soon as you get sleepy, hehe!"
Lin Guiying rolled her eyes. "You really know how to enjoy yourself. Xiaoxi, which room do you want?"
"The one furthest inside."
"Okay, then I'll take this one. Look at this wardrobe, it's like a work of art."
After viewing the villa, the elderly couple went to see the new shop, and then went home satisfied to pack their things.
Lin Xi didn't have much to pack. She mainly needed to bring the time delay device, the corrective desk and chair, the treadmill, running shoes, etc. that Xiao Yi had given her. The rest were books, and she didn't have many clothes.
Lin Guojun went to the store to get his tricycle, drove it around, and sold all the scrap he had collected.
When they went to pick up the car, Liu Erli saw them and learned that their family was moving away the next day, and he immediately burst into tears.
Back in the shop, they whispered among themselves for a while, and no one knew what they said to each other, but Tian Lei and the others nodded emphatically.
Lin Guiying has the most belongings; she can't bear to part with this or put down that.
Including a dozen or so pickling jars, a well-used chopping block, a large iron pot for stewing, and all sorts of pots, pans, and bowls—I wanted to take everything with me.
Lin Xi heard a clanging noise from the kitchen and came over to see what was happening. Her grandmother was trying to put the big iron pot away. "Grandma, where are you going to put this big iron pot?"
"Chickens cooked in the yard with gas don't taste as good."
When it came to food, Lin Xi was immediately convinced. Food couldn't be taken lightly, so they had to bring the big iron pot.
"And what about this chopping block?"
"Sigh, I've grown attached to it. I've used it for most of my life, I can't bear to part with it!"
"Grandma, let's leave it at home. There are several cutting boards there, the kind you use separately for cutting meat and vegetables, it's cleaner that way."
"Cutting boards can harbor bacteria if used for a long time."
“We’re not throwing it away. We’ll just leave it here. We’ll come back for the Lunar New Year to burn incense and pay respects at the graves. We’ll still need to stay here. What will we use if we take it all away?”
"You don't need to bring these pots and pans, there are plenty over there, and there's nowhere to put them."
There is space, but there are only a few of them and they don't need that many bowls and chopsticks. Besides, she wants to use new ones.
Lin Guiying glanced at it reluctantly, then said, "Alright."
"And these pickle jars..."
Lin Guoying immediately said decisively, "The pickling jars must be brought."
