Chapter 118 Household Registration

After dinner, Chi Xiaotong started to worry again.

When the house was first built, no one thought that so many people would live here! It was just one room and one bed.

"Mom, we can sleep on the floor. It's okay without a quilt!" Yuanyuan said.

"There are quilts. You don't have to sleep on the floor. You can sleep on the bed with your dad. It's just a little crowded." Fortunately, I had a quilt before, and the one on the bed was the new one made when I got married. The previous one was put away and never used!

Chi Xiaotong turned it over and spread it on the ground to spend the night there. He would ask someone to make a small bed for him tomorrow.

Fortunately, the children were small, so four people could barely fit in. Chi Xiaotong stayed next to the bed to prevent anyone from being squeezed out in the middle of the night.

"My dear wife, let me live on the ground!"

"Be obedient, you still have to take care of the three of them!"

"How about, let's go to my house?" Chen Chengyu couldn't help but speak after listening for a long time.

"We can't just leave the four of them at home! Forget it, it's not cold to sleep on the floor! It's okay!"

"You can let Yuanyuanman live with me. My bed can accommodate them!" said Chen Chengshan.

Chi Xiaotong was a little hesitant.

"I'll go to the county with you tomorrow morning, and then ask Chengshan to bring the kids over! Anyway, there's no one at home, so even if everyone goes, there's enough room for them all!"

"Okay, it's perfect. You can stay at your uncle's house tonight. Tomorrow, mom will find someone to make beds for you!"

The Chen family had a guest room, but Chen Chengshan was afraid that the two children would be scared, so he took them directly to his room, and the three of them squeezed together and slept.

……

The next morning, Yuanyuan and Manman woke up very early. They were used to it! Chen Chengshan hadn't gotten up yet. He was also a lazy bum.

Yuanyuan helped Manman put on his clothes and quietly led his brother out. Chen Chengyu was already washing up.

"Up so early? Wait a minute, I'll change the water for you! Chengshan hasn't gotten up yet?"

"Uncle is still sleeping, we can do it ourselves!" Yuanyuan wanted to get some water.

"Children, stay away from the well and be careful!" Chen Chengyu quickly drew water and let the two children wash.

The water was ready, and the two of them washed their faces obediently.

When Chen Chengshan woke up, he vaguely remembered that he was sleeping with his two children. He stretched his hand to the side, but didn't touch anyone. His sleepiness disappeared and he sat up instantly.

He put on his shoes carelessly and ran out: "Sister, sister!"

"What's wrong? You look so irritable!"

When he ran out, he saw the two little ones sitting next to Chen Chengyu, and paused: "No, it's okay!"

Turn around and go back to the house to put on your clothes.

Yuanyuan stood up and wanted to help Chen Chengshan fetch water for washing, but Chen Chengshan pulled her aside and said, "Don't get too close to the well. You don't need to fetch water. My sister is here!"

"Are you looking for water?" Yuanyuan was really confused, so she mustered up the courage to ask.

"Yes!" Chen Chengshan answered as a matter of course. "My mother and sister fetch water for my family. Even if they are not here, they will fetch water for us without us. My mother said it is unsafe!"

Yuanyuan felt that what she saw that day was so different from before! Her mother was very gentle, her aunt was also very gentle, and her uncle was even more willing to give her and her brother old clothes, and the material was so good!

Is it his former home or this place that is different from other families? He thought carefully and felt that his former family was like most of them! He had seen many of them.

After they all washed up, Chen Chengshan took one of them by the hand and said, "Let's go! Let's go to your house for dinner! I wonder what my brother-in-law will do this morning!"

"You are the only one who is greedy!" Chen Chengyu nodded his head with a doting smile.

Chen Chengshan shook his head and made faces at her, then pulled his two brothers and quickly walked towards Chi Xiaotong's home.

Halfway through, Chen Chengyu went straight to Wang's house and took a big bowl of goat milk.

Chi Xiaotong gets up early these days. Tian Yu cooks and she has to take care of the children.

Chi Xiaotong specially asked Tianyu to cook a few more eggs for breakfast, ensuring one for each person. In order to nourish Tianyu's body, the family had no shortage of eggs.

Chi Xiaotong is the kind of person who can save money anywhere except on food. The body is the capital, so you can lose anything but nutrition.

Xiaotuantuan fell asleep right after drinking milk, very well behaved. The rest of the people were able to eat together.

Chi Xiaotong cracked the eggs on the table and placed one in front of each person: "Eat them all!"

Chen Chengyu frowned: "I don't want it. My father said before that studying is a waste of brain power, so he boiled eggs for me every day. I'm really tired of these boiled eggs!"

Chen Chengshan never refuses any dish and never gets tired of it even if he eats it often.

Chi Xiaotong carefully peeled eggs for Tian Yu without even looking up: "Give it to whoever you want. I cook it by the number of people."

"I am enough!" said Chen Chengshan.

Chen Chengyu looked at the two children, not knowing who to give it to.

Chi Xiaotong had just finished peeling the eggs and put them in Tianyu's bowl. She picked up her own and put it in front of Manman, and Chen Chengyu gave hers to Yuanyuan.

"Mom, I've had enough to eat!" Manman said in a low voice.

"Auntie, I have enough to eat, no need to give me more!" Yuanyuan also refused.

"Eat! If you can't finish it, eat it at noon!" said Chi Xiaotong.

After Chi Xiaotong spoke, the two children put the eggs away to eat later.

After dinner, Chi Xiaotong and Chen Chengyu set out to meet up with the village chief and go to the county to register their household registration.

Because both parties had reached an agreement, the process went very quickly. After the money was in hand, Yuanyuan's mother was very cooperative.

Ten taels of silver, and three money-losing goods, she was very happy! She seemed more anxious than Chi Xiaotong, afraid that it would be too late and Chi Xiaotong would regret it.

It took me half a day to change the two names and complete the household registration. The cost was not high, less than one or two taels of silver.

"The household registration is under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. It doesn't cost much to change the household registration, let alone to apply for the household registration. Every few years, the higher-ups will send people to check the household registration!" Seeing Chi Xiaotong's confusion, Chen Chengyu explained.

Chi Xiaotong didn't know about these things which were obviously common sense, but she knew a lot about some unreasonable things.

Because this person was Chi Xiaotong, Chen Chengyu didn't take it to heart and just thought that she had received a different education and came from a different family.

After completing the household registration, Chi Xiaotong went to the town to buy some things, and Chen Chengyu naturally went with her.

In the end, the village chief went back alone by car, and the woman also had to go shopping and then go straight back to her home.

The two men first went to the cloth shop to buy cloth, and then went straight to the place where livestock were bought and sold.

Chi Xiaotong looked along the way and found that there were too few lactating ewes for sale, and even fewer ewes with high milk production. The prices they offered were extremely high, so Chi Xiaotong didn't even want to buy any!

Finally, after much selection, Chi Xiaotong finally bought a ewe with a lamb for three taels of silver.

There's no other way. I have a baby at home who needs to drink milk every day. This ewe has a large milk production, so even with a lamb, there will still be a lot left.

The lamb can be eaten when it grows up. As for whether or not she will develop feelings for it and be reluctant to eat it, Chi Xiaotong has no idea!

It was not convenient to ride in a bullock cart while leading the sheep, so the two had to take turns carrying the cloth and walk back.
