As the end of the year approaches and the countdown to New Year gets shorter, Cheng Su’s school is on break, giving her more time. Besides handling business at Joy Soon Loy Jam, she can also visit the restaurant. Additionally, she’s planning on a dried seafood shop in Guangcheng and gathering some inventory information.
Aside from that, most of her time is spent on the new house. Furniture has been arriving one after another, and the brand-new pieces are placed in various spots. The storage room at home, designed by Cheng Su, has been transformed into a study, providing a place for both her and Qi Taiguo to study and read.
All the furniture and beds have been moved in, and Cheng Su is busy purchasing small essentials like bed sheets - they definitely need to be new.
With just over ten days until the New Year, they’ve planned to move into their new home on the 29th day of the lunar month. Therefore, the house is ventilated daily, and some of the larger items are slowly being moved in.
"The old house needs cleaning too. Although your dad will do the big cleaning, we can’t just rely on him. I’m thinking of going back to the old house on the 28th. Since you’re on break, you have time, and you’ll need to look after Xiao Qi yourself," Mother Cheng explained her plan.
Cheng Su had no objections, "If Dad agrees, why not spend the New Year at our place!"
Mother Cheng was unwilling, "We have our own home; it’s not appropriate to celebrate the New Year at the son-in-law’s place. Your brother is there too, besides, don’t you need to return to the old home for New Year? Xiao Qi needs to participate in the Ding ceremony too."
That made sense, so Cheng Su didn’t argue further.
With Mother Cheng around, and her hands free, Cheng Su focused entirely on setting up the new home. She bought lots of plants and placed tea leaves and bamboo charcoal to absorb odors, fearing that there might still be some formaldehyde in the new home, which would make living there uncomfortable.
While she was busy, Qi Taiguo was no exception. With the New Year approaching, the military needed to deploy people for holiday readiness, regular training, and handling various affairs.
