Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 214

Chapter 214: Chapter 151: Deep in Thought

Zhou Xiaozheng and his wife didn’t ride bikes but strolled leisurely towards the county. He introduced the villages to Lin Lishan along the way, recounting childhood memories.

Upon reaching the county, they arrived at the small courtyard house they bought. Standing outside the courtyard, Lin Lishan looked at the gate and the walls, pursing her lips. Then, seeing the distance between neighbors, she smiled.

Following Zhou Xiaozheng into the courtyard, she smiled widely and nodded approvingly when they reached the main house; this was more like it. It was suitable for her daughter to live in, matching her temperament.

"Brother Zheng, this is good. Although sparrows are small, they have all the internal organs, quite peaceful. You have a good eye." Lin Lishan looked at her husband, who was eagerly anticipating her praise, and she didn’t hold back, giving a thumbs up.

Zhou Xiaozheng glanced at her triumphantly, "Hurry and check the rooms inside. What’s there to change? Let’s seize the time and get our daughter out quickly." Just thinking about his daughter living under others’ watch made him anxious to take her away.

"Haha, someone who doesn’t know better might think your daughter is being mistreated at her in-laws’. Alright, I won’t say anything, let’s go inside." Lin Lishan quickly surrendered as he glared at her.

After a thorough tour, Lin Lishan had an idea, except for the lack of a restroom in the rooms, everything was quite convenient. The previous elderly owners were cultured people. The books in the bookshelf were mostly biographies, travelogues, ancient books, rather common and not of much value. There were also some foreign books, mainly for casual reading. The furniture inside and out were made of good materials, quite strange that the elderly couple would give them up.

"Brother Zheng, why would the original owners not want the furniture? They are quite good items. It doesn’t make sense, they should know the value."

Zhou Xiaozheng pondered and said, "Maybe they have better furniture at home. He said these were dowry items from the old lady. Or maybe their children don’t appreciate or understand the value, and the old man is afraid it would be ruined if they left it behind."

Lin Lishan pulled him into the master bedroom, "Starting here, I’ll speak, and you note. You need to buy disinfectant from the county hospital to clean it thoroughly, also prepare the right amount of solution. You know your stuff, see how much is enough without damaging the materials? Buy more disinfectant, the whole courtyard needs a wash. The curtains are dirty, give them to Jiao Jiao afterwards. Used bedding is also dirty, don’t use them, give them to Jiao Jiao later. A set of bedding is needed for this room, but you don’t need to buy for this room, she has it. There’s nothing much to buy here. As for the study, apart from a wipe, it doesn’t need anything."

After speaking, she walked to the right room, "This room has some quilts. Bedding is needed, as are curtains. Three rooms need curtains, apart from the study, I’ll buy and make them myself."

Moving on to the next room, "This room is quite large, just needs a bed, the wardrobe is here. This room can be reserved for when we come to stay. This room needs bedding. The front room is left for Xiao Wu’s parents or guests. When people visit, apart from the living room, open this room for them to rest. Jiao Jiao doesn’t like others entering her bedroom, just like me, taking after me."

Zhou Jiao isn’t here at the moment, otherwise, she would pull her along. She would tell her that the curtains can be washed with disinfectant water. The quilts can be temporarily used. She has other covers. Lin Lishan smiled knowingly, she still wanted the best for her daughter. She wasn’t worried the replaced items couldn’t be used, the old ones fit her family Jiao Jiao’s ideas just right for the village courtyard.

Zhou Xiaozheng noted down, "Already bought bedroom furnishings for three rooms. All they’re using now stays in the village, to avoid moving back and forth. Do you have enough cloth tickets?"

Oh well. This one wants to buy more. Lin Lishan mischievously looked at him. She pondered to herself that this time her dad wanted to splurge, not at her request. But thinking about it, they still have to go to the provincial city.
