Chapter 255 What to do?
Su Yunyun and Han Sen walked into the yard and looked around the house. They found that many of the doors were open, so they realized that they had all been opened and checked.
Although they haven't seen what the last courtyard of the house looks like yet, she thinks it should be similar to the second courtyard in front of them.
Then Su Yunyun smiled, because the surprise revealed in Su Tai's words showed that they were both very satisfied with the house. Now they all wanted to confirm where they would each live, and then move in anxiously to start the first stop of their life in Beijing.
However, the Su family knew that she was the owner of the house, so they did not take the initiative to choose a house and move in directly. Instead, they waited until Su Yunyun and Han Sen were both there, and then asked them to allocate the house.
Noticing that everyone in the family was focused on them after hearing what Su Tai said, Su Yunyun and Han Sen quickly walked to Su Tai's side and looked at everyone. "Han Sen and I have discussed how to live in the house before, and now I'm telling you."
"This main house has three rooms. When the government department borrowed the house for office use, they opened a door to the main house near the west wing and made it independent. So my parents lived in the main house on the east side, and my teacher lived in the main house on the west side. The living room was in the middle, so we could eat and discuss things in the living room."
"My eldest brother's family lives in the east wing, my second brother's family lives in the west wing, and Han Sen, my third brother, and my youngest brother live in the backyard."
"The east wing is used as a warehouse, and the west wing is used as a study, which is convenient for the teacher to work."
"We can make the front yard into a study for the children. If the children don't want to live with the adults, the older children can choose to live in the front yard directly. It's no problem. It's up to the children to decide. But if they choose to live in the front yard, they have to move the tables, chairs and beds prepared for them there first, otherwise they won't be able to sleep or live there."
Su Yunyun finished explaining the distribution of the house in one breath, and then Han Sen nodded at her. Su Yunyun felt relieved, which meant that the distribution they had agreed on was correct.
But for some reason, after Su Ping and the others heard the arrangements she had just made, they did not respond immediately, but instead walked aside and discussed in a low voice.
Su Yunyun was confused and held Han Sen's hand. Han Sen signaled to her with his eyes not to worry, and that they would know what they were discussing soon.
"Little sister, we have no problem with the arrangements for our parents and Mr. Du, as well as the arrangements for the ear room and the front yard," Su Ping and the others said after they finished discussing. They walked back to Su Yunyun, and Su Ping spoke on their behalf. "It will be convenient for them to live like this, but they think our arrangements are inappropriate."
Su Yunyun felt very strange after hearing this. Her eyebrows raised and she immediately asked, "What's wrong with that?"
"You bought this yard. You and Han Sen are the owners. How can the owners live in the back house while we, the tenants, live in the main house?"
"If we just move in without caring about anything, wouldn't that be a typical case of 'the cuckoo taking over the magpie's nest'?"
"I've read in books that apart from the elderly who live in the main house, the owners of the house all live in the east wing, followed by the west wing. But you didn't choose to live in either of them, but instead lived in the third room. This is totally against the rules."
"We are all renting here. If you arrange us all to live in the east and west wing rooms, after we buy a house and move out, you will have to move back. Isn't that tiring?"
Su Yunyun was stunned when she heard what Su Ping and the others said. Why did they think so much?
"I..." Su Yunyun was about to explain when she was interrupted by Su Ping.
"We have discussed it and decided that we cannot follow your arrangement this time," Su Ping pointed at the east and west wing rooms, "You can only choose to live in the east wing or the west wing room. After you choose, the second brother's family will choose the remaining one, and the third and fourth brothers and I will live in the third wing room."
"But why is this happening?" Su Yunyun was puzzled. "Even if it's just a temporary stay, I think there's nothing wrong with the previous arrangement."
"This is a big problem!" Su Ping had to continue explaining. "In addition to the reasons we just mentioned, after Mr. Du moved in, he lived in the main house on the west side, and the west wing was used as his study. However, he was not familiar with us, and you and Han Sen, who were familiar with him, moved to the back. How uncomfortable must he be?!"
"We really didn't consider this," Su Yunyun heard Su Ping's explanation and realized that their arrangement would help Mr. Du integrate more quickly, so she chose to accept it. "Then I'll choose the west wing, which is closer to the teacher and will make him feel more comfortable. If he encounters any learning problems, he can go directly to the west wing to find him, which is more convenient! I just don't understand why you want to switch with my second brother's family?"
"After the beginning of the year, we all went to school. Most of the time, the second child was the only adult man at home. He had to take care of our parents and support the family. So we wanted him to be closer so that he could take care of the front and back yards and be safer. There was nothing else to do." Su Ping directly stated the reason for their discussion.
"I think it's unreasonable for you to let my second brother move to the east wing," Han Sen said directly. "Our yard is very big. If you switch with my second brother, you will live in the third house. When we all go to school, I guess my eldest sister-in-law and the children will be the only ones in the backyard. That will be even more unsafe."
Su Ping fell into deep thought after hearing what Han Sen said.
Su Tai asked, "Why is it unsafe?"
"In the past, three-courtyard houses like this were inhabited by powerful people, and women and children usually lived in the third courtyard. No one dared to pluck the beard of a tiger. But you all know the current social situation. There are still some mean people who put women and children at the back. If something really happens, they won't be able to resist. On the contrary, if my second brother and his family live in the back, they will be more alert and can take care of the family in time." Han Sen expressed his thoughts.
"Han Sen's words make sense," Su Ping said slowly. "Then I will follow my younger sister's arrangement and live in the east wing. The second child's family, the third child's family, and the fourth child will live in the third wing. After we go to school, the second child can take care of Aiguo, and Xiaoliang can be handed over to your eldest sister-in-law or your parents."
Su Yunyun had no objection to Su Ping's arrangement. However, the children were so anxious that their faces turned red when they saw that the adults had finished making arrangements. They were eager to speak and asked, "Zhongguo, what do you want to say?"
"Aunt, you just said that our children can choose where to live by themselves, is that true?" Zhongguo's face was filled with uncontrollable joy.
"Well, you have to take what my aunt says seriously." Su Yunyun gave him an affirmative reply.
"Then let's discuss it," Zhongguo said, "I will be 13 after the Chinese New Year, and Jingguo will be 12, and we two want to live in the front yard."
"And us," Su Hao stood up with a red face, "I will be 11 after the New Year, and Xiaomei will be 10. We will also live in the front yard."
Before Su Yunyun could say anything, Aiguo and Su Li were unwilling to do so. "You all live in the front, so we have to go too."
Aiguo patted his chest and said, "I am 8 years old after the New Year!"
Su Li raised her forehead and said, "I turned 9 years old after the Chinese New Year!"
Then the two of them shouted together, "We want to live in the front too!"
Su Yunyun was a little stunned, with a confused look on her face!
Zhongguo and Suhao are older, so their families probably won’t mind if they live in the front. But Aiguo and Suli also want to live in the front. What should they do?
