Chapter 239 Moving House
A little rain was falling from the sky.

Gao Qinghe walked all the way to her doorstep, her sheepskin shoes already ruined.

Jiang Baohai had already prepared shoes in the car and was about to get them when Old Lady Tian found a pair of insulated cotton shoes in the old house. They were dark red with floral patterns and she threw them in front of Gao Qinghe.

These are cotton shoes that Grandma Tian asked villagers to make for her siblings last year. Each of the three siblings has a pair, which are light and warm to wear at home in winter.

Gao Qinghe was very happy wearing it last year.

Now, at sixty years old, his soul has been reborn and, upon seeing these winter cotton shoes that he once loved most, his lips twitched involuntarily.

"Change it quickly."

Seeing that her granddaughter didn't move, Grandma Tian urged her impatiently:

“This is warm. What good are your thin boots? They’re just for looks.”

It's said to be beautiful, but the elderly person said they couldn't appreciate the tassels.

Helpless, Gao Qinghe changed her boots into dark red floral cotton shoes.

Jiang Baohai was even envious. He found Gao Qingmiao, put his brother-in-law's cotton shoes on his own feet, and took off his leather shoes and put them aside.

He then took the apron and sleeves from his father-in-law and joined the group of young men in the village to move the wooden beams.

With her sophisticated urban woman persona ruined, Gao Qinghe stopped being pretentious and simply changed out of her coat and put on her old cotton-padded jacket.

She tied up her loose hair, put one hand in her pocket and cracked sunflower seeds with the other, and led Little Tail Flower to see the new house.

"Second sister, over here, over here."

Little Flower had already explored her aunt's new house thoroughly and was actively leading the way.

The new house is just 20 meters away from the old house.

The familiar little building from her memory appeared before her eyes, and Gao Qinghe stopped in her tracks.

With her memories from both lifetimes overlapping, she couldn't help but feel a little disoriented.

However, the building built this time is not exactly the same as the one built in the previous life.

The old building didn't have a toilet or such a spacious courtyard.

The new house that now appears before Gao Qinghe is a two-story building with white walls and red tiles, arranged in a straight line.

The main building is located inside, with two separate small rooms built on the left and right sides, and the entire house is surrounded by a two-meter-high openwork wall.

There is a four-meter-wide entrance/exit area on the main gate side of the courtyard, but the gate has not been installed yet.

There are two small, round brick flower beds on either side of the door, with two pomegranate trees transplanted on them.

The entire yard was paved with cement, making it look particularly spacious.

After walking through the courtyard and climbing two steps, you will arrive at the front of the small building.

The building's exterior is very simple, and there is no balcony.

The first floor has a large hall, a kitchen, a storage room, a bathroom, and two rooms.

It's my parents' and grandma's room.

The walls of the whole house were painted white, and the floor was gray terrazzo.

Go up to the second floor, there are three large suites.

Each suite has one bedroom, one living room, and one bathroom, and is very spacious, enough to easily partition off a second room.

Each of Gao Qinghe and her two siblings has one of these three suites.

The three of them had drawn lots to decide their respective rooms beforehand.

Gao Qinghe's room is the first one you see when you come up the stairs. To her left is Gao Qingmiao's room, and to her right is Gao Qingya's room.

All the rooms on the second floor were decorated in the style that Gao Qinghe and her two siblings liked.

Gao Qingmiao is now rich. In addition to the money her parents gave her, she also put in her own money to paint the walls pink, lay wooden floors, and furnish the house with a small sofa.

Gao Qingya's situation is a bit tougher; she hasn't earned any money yet, so all she has are white walls and cement floors, plus a bed and a wardrobe.

Gao Qinghe's room is absolutely luxurious.

Jiang Baohai took care of everything, and Gao Qinghe liked it even more than the rooms in the Jiang family's old house.

After all, the layout of the new home is already set, so it's easier to achieve a good effect when decorating.

The hotel is designed in a completely retro style, with a bathtub, mirrored cabinet, toilet, and shower in the bathroom. The main bathroom on the first floor also has a full set of mirrored cabinets, a squat toilet, and a Western-style toilet.

The villagers who came to visit had never seen anything like these before and kept praising them.

Everyone guessed that this was probably what rich people in the city lived in, so much so that for a long time, villagers would use Gao Qinghe's house as a reference when building new houses.

After admiring her room, Gao Qinghe sat by the window watching the lively scene below, feeling very content and happy.

The door was suddenly opened.

"Three sisters!"

Hua Hua, who was sitting on the carpet eating candy, exclaimed in surprise.

Gao Qingya walked in with a smile and called out, "Sister."

Looking down at Huahua, I saw that the little girl's mouth was covered in black food. I teased her on purpose, saying:
"You ate it again? You think I won't tell your mom?"

The little girl was indeed easily frightened and hurriedly put her hands behind her back, shaking her head and saying, "No, no, I didn't steal any food."

Gao Qingya went around behind her and grabbed the small hand that was still holding the chocolate, catching her red-handed.

Before she could get too cocky, Gao Qinghe, seeing that Hua Hua was about to burst into tears, stepped in and gave the little sister a flick on the forehead.

Gao Qinghe coaxed Huahua and let her go downstairs to play.

Hua Hua thought her second sister was the best. She glared at Gao Qingya and said she would never play with her third sister again!

Gao Qingya raised her hand as if to hit her, which startled the little girl so much that she darted downstairs.

Gao Qinghe was speechless. "You really have nothing better to do than tease the kids. I haven't seen you since you arrived. Where did you go?"

"I went to the school to get more stools. There were too many people coming, and we didn't have enough stools at home."

Gao Qingya shamelessly took her sister's hand, glanced at her stomach with a strange look, and asked:

"Sis, why isn't your belly getting bigger?"

Gao Qinghe: "It's not time for it to grow up yet."

"Sister, a volunteer teacher has come to the village primary school during the winter break. Guess who it is?" Gao Qingya suddenly asked mysteriously.

Gao Qinghe guessed without thinking: "Hao Huaping?"

Gao Qingya looked at her sister with admiration, "You could even guess that? Sis, you're amazing!"

Is it really Hao Huaping?

Gao Qinghe's surprise was not entirely unexpected.

Because in her previous life, Hao Huaping did indeed work as a volunteer teacher at Shanghe Village Primary School.

Moreover, they came during both summer and winter vacations for two consecutive years.

At the time, she didn't understand why this teacher was so persistent.

Looking back now, I'm afraid the female lead had already secretly fallen for the male lead back then, which is why she went to Shanghe Village to teach every year.

All she wanted was to see the male lead more often.

But the timeline is completely different now than in the previous life. Zhou Zhenghua was transferred to the town a long time ago, so what is Hao Huaping doing here?
Could he truly be a great teacher with a spirit of sacrifice and dedication?

Just as I was wondering, I heard Gao Qingya excitedly pointing downstairs: "Sister, the new Party Secretary is here!"

Before Gao Qinghe could look over, Gao Qingya exclaimed in surprise:

"Hey? Teacher Hao is here too, and she's helping Zhou Zhenghua's mother. Hey, what's Zhou Zhenghua doing here too?"

The only one I didn't see was Zhou Zhenghua's wife, Ouyang Yan.

As soon as the new Party Secretary appeared, Gao Chongyi hurriedly called his son-in-law to greet him. With other villagers also extending their greetings, the area downstairs immediately became lively.

The new house has a large enough yard to accommodate twenty tables, both inside and outside. A large round table that can seat twelve people was specially reserved in the main room.

This was specially prepared by Gao Chongyi, because he had invited the new Party Secretary and the newly arrived volunteer teachers.

To everyone's surprise, Zhou Zhenghua showed up uninvited.

Seeing that he and the new secretary were chatting and laughing as if they were familiar with each other, Jiang Baohai and Gao Chongyi, the two fathers-in-law and sons-in-law, exchanged a glance and led everyone to sit at the round table in the main room.
