Chapter 134: Moving
Lao Li is quite neat, only two days later, he found a suitable yard, and that yard is not far from the Yamen, because there are often catches passing by, so the yard is very safe, even if Mrs. Zhao and the Wang family have trouble with Zhao Qingzao in the past, they will definitely be arrested and found out, and then stopped, if they move there to live, Zhao Qingzao and Xiaocao should be able to live a comforting life.
However, whether the yard is good or not, you still have to see it with your own eyes to know, so Zhao Qingzao asked Lao Li to take his grass to the yard to have a look, and then decide whether to live in that yard or not.
"This is it. Lao Li pointed to a small courtyard and said to Zhao Qingzao.
Zhao Qingzao followed Lao Li into the yard, and saw the spacious yard at a glance, as well as a few very clean bungalows, if he lived here, Zhao Qingzao could not only grow vegetables in the yard, but also dry things on the roof, so after just a little hesitation, Zhao Qingzao decided to buy this yard.
Because Zhao Qingzao didn't have much silver in his hand, he finally took out three hundred taels of silver from the one thousand taels of silver left to her by Shen Changting and bought this courtyard.
"Lao Li, this is forty taels of silver, you take it. After Zhao Qingzao and the seller signed the deed, they gave the remaining forty taels of silver to Lao Li as agreed before.
Lao Li took the forty taels of silver handed over by Zhao Qingzao, looking at the heavy silver in his hand, Lao Li's face was full of wrinkles, and he said repeatedly: "Thank you, Xiaocao mother, if you have anything in the future, you can ask me for help again." ”
After sending Lao Li away, Zhao Qingzao cleaned the yard again, looking at this clean and comfortable yard, Zhao Qingzao smiled and said to Xiaocao: "Xiaocao, we will live here in the future." ”
Because there were only more than six hundred taels of silver left by Shen Changting, Zhao Qingzao didn't dare to spend that silver anymore, and planned to wait for the outside world to be more stable, and then think of a way to make money, anyway, there was not only one way, so she and Xiaocao would definitely not starve to death.
Back in the village, Zhao Qingzao immediately began to pack up his things, because there were a lot of things at home, so Zhao Qingzao invited two carriages, and finally took all the things away, and the things left by Shen Changting accounted for a whole carriage, Zhao Qingzao scolded Shen Changting in his heart when he moved things, only to blame Shen Changting for leaving her a bunch of messes, and she was reluctant to throw away these messes, and she had to try her best to move to a new home.
After a busy day, Zhao Qingzao moved all his things into his new home, panting and sitting on the chair, Zhao Qingzao felt that he was about to die of exhaustion, and most of what Shen Changting left behind were books, so Zhao Qingzao used all his strength to put the boxes containing books neatly.
"Mother, are these daddy's things?" Xiaocao pointed to an open box and asked Zhao Qingzao.
Hearing Xiaocao's question, Zhao Qingzao rested for a while, and finally walked to Xiaocao's side and looked at the box that had been opened.
The four treasures of the study room used by Shen Changting to paint are all placed in the box, because they have not been used all year round, so some ink cannot be used, Zhao Qingzao squatted down, looked at the things in the box, and said: "Yes, your father's painting is very beautiful." ”
"Mother, I also like to draw. Xiaocao stared at the contents of the box, her eyes shining.
Zhao Qingzao turned her head to look at Xiaocao, thinking that Xiaocao usually likes to draw very much, and now when she sees the things in the box, she naturally likes it even more, although she is unwilling to let Xiaocao become the second Shen Changting, but if Xiaocao really likes to paint, she can't stop it.
"Xiaocao, do you want to paint?" Zhao Qingzao asked Xiaocao.
Hearing this, Xiaocao immediately nodded, and her little head clicked a few times, as if she really wanted to paint.
Seeing this, Zhao Qingzao smiled helplessly, and then said: "Then my mother will take Xiaocao to buy ink tomorrow and let Xiaocao paint, okay?"
"Mother, really, will you really take me there?" Xiaocao's eyes widened, and she seemed to be a little incredulous.
Seeing Xiaocao's appearance, Zhao Qingzao couldn't help but smile and said: "Of course it's true, will my mother still lie to you?" There is a shop near the courtyard, and my mother will take you to see it tomorrow." ”
"Great, mother. Xiaocao jumped around with a smile and said happily.
Even if he didn't want to see the second Shen Changting again, as long as Xiaocao liked it, there was no way, so Zhao Qingzao finally compromised and wanted Xiaocao to start painting.
The next day, Zhao Qingzao really took Xiaocao to buy something, because Xiaocao likes to write and paint, so Zhao Qingzao bought him a complete set of four treasures of the study, and also bought a lot of colorful ink for Xiaocao, so that Xiaocao can practice drawing on paper, although I don't know if Xiaocao can draw decent paintings, but as long as Xiaocao likes it, it's fine.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao Qingzao bought a little seed by the way, planning to go back to plant vegetables, after the mother and son returned to the yard, they went to do their own things, Xiaocao put everything on the stool, and then tiptoed to write and draw on the paper, seeing this, Zhao Qingzao did not bother, but took a hoe to hoe a vacant land in the yard and loosened it, and then sprinkled some fertilizer to make the soil more fertile, so that it is easy to make the seeds germinate when planting vegetables.
After getting all the fertilizer, Zhao Qingzao was not in a hurry to plant vegetables, and now was not the best time, so she planned to wait a few days before that.
A few days later, Zhao Qingzao felt that the land was a lot more fertile, so he dug one small pit after another, and then threw the seeds in the pit, and then carefully buried the small pit, because he did not have too much experience in many kinds of vegetables, so Zhao Qingzao bought cabbage, white radish and peanuts that were easier to grow.
After burying the seeds, Zhao Qingzao watered and fertilized, and after estimating that it was almost done, Zhao Qingzao returned to the house.
"Xiaocao, why are you painting again? You're only a year old, you should go out and play with other children. As soon as Zhao Qingzao entered the house, he saw Xiaocao writing and painting again, so he said helplessly.
"Mother, I want to stay at home and paint. Xiaocao raised her head and said aggrievedly.
Seeing the appearance of Xiaocao, Zhao Qingzao couldn't bear to say anything anymore, so he didn't care about Xiaocao, for a few days, Zhao Qingzao watered and fertilized every day, so the seeds planted quickly germinated, watching the things he planted grow better and better, Zhao Qingzao said with a satisfied smile: "It seems that my vegetable planting skills are not bad." ”
I thought that after moving here, I would no longer have to be harassed by Mrs. Zhao and the Wang family, but I didn't expect Mrs. Zhao and the Wang family to come to the town to find someone after they found out that Zhao Qingzao had moved, but Mrs. Zhao and the Wang family only knew that Zhao Qingzao lived near the yamen, and they didn't know which courtyard she lived in, so they could only knock on the door to find someone.
Because Mrs. Zhao and Wang's voices were very loud, they hadn't found Zhao Qingzao's yard yet, and Zhao Qingzao, who was planting vegetables in the yard, heard the voices of the two of them.
"Mrs. Zhao and the Wang family actually came to find someone? I must not let them know that I live here. Zhao Qingzao hurriedly put down the hoe in his hand and said with a frown.
If she goes out now, she will definitely be discovered by Mrs. Zhao and the Wang family, but when Mrs. Zhao and the Wang family find this place after a while, if she doesn't open the door, Mrs. Zhao and the Wang family will feel strange.
"What should I do?" Zhao Qingzao thought about it, but still couldn't think of a good idea, seeing that Mrs. Zhao and the Wang family were about to find her here, Zhao Qingzao was so anxious that she didn't know what to do.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the sound of catching fast came from outside the door.
"You came here to make trouble, and someone has already gone to the yamen to sue you!" said loudly to Mrs. Zhao and the Wang family.
"What? Where are we making trouble? Just trying to find someone!" shouted Old Man Zhao.
No matter what Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Wang said, they took Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Wang away, Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Wang were originally very arrogant, but now they begged bitterly, wanting to let them go, and they acted as ordered, where would they take care of the two of them, and they would take them back to the yamen directly.
Zhao Qingzao put his ear on the door, then listened to the sound outside, and found that no one was talking outside, Zhao Qingzao breathed a sigh of relief, and planned to open the door to see what was going on outside.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhao Qingzao opened the door, he saw the master standing nearby looking at her, so frightened that Zhao Qingzao hurriedly closed the door.
"Zhao Qingzao, I saw you, hurry up and open the door!" the master came over and knocked on the door, and then said.
Hearing this, Zhao Qingzao reacted, then opened the door, and asked the master to hurry into the courtyard to drink tea.
"Someone went to the yamen to complain about Mrs. Zhao and the Wang family, and I guessed that you must have lived in this neighborhood, otherwise how could Mrs. Zhao and the Wang family come to find someone for no reason? It seems that I really guessed that you really live here. The master said to Zhao Qingzao while looking at the courtyard.
Hearing this, Zhao Qingzao laughed dryly, thinking that the master is still very smart, but he always likes to raise the bar with her, I don't know what to do when I came here this time, do I just want to see if I live here? Zhao Qingzao doesn't think things are so simple.
"Master, what is the matter with you coming here this time?" Zhao Qingzao saw that the master did not speak, so he took the initiative to ask the master.
"Ahem, the cook of the yamen is gone, if you don't have anything to do, go to the yamen to cook, anyway, you live near the yamen, and if you go to the yamen to do things, you will be a yamen person in the future, and Mrs. Zhao and the Wang family will definitely not dare to trouble you anymore." The master cleared his throat before he told him the purpose of coming to Zhao Qingzao.
In fact, it is indeed a very good choice to go back to the yamen to cook, and you can also receive salary every month, but Xiaocao is still young, so Zhao Qingzao can't immediately decide whether to go back to the yamen to cook, after hesitating for a while, Zhao Qingzao said to the master: "Master, let me think about it for two more days, I still have children at home." ”
"It doesn't take much time to cook, otherwise you can send your child to the academy, as long as the county master says a word, you can choose the academy in the town." The master glanced at Zhao Qingzao and said.
