17 He had a home of his own
The day after they arrived home, everyone in the village knew that Ni Jinghe's family had pulled several carts of things back, and they were all speculating about why there was money, whether it was the compensation given by the original Hua family's husband, or whether they had picked up the treasure. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info those who have a good relationship with Ni Jinghe's family came directly to the door to confirm, and Hua only said that it turned out that her mother's family knew that her life was difficult and funded her with some money to let her get through the difficulties. Originally, she didn't go to the door to ask for help, but this time there was really no way, otherwise her daughter would have been taken away. This is what Ni Jinghe asked Hua to say, believe it or not, someone will guess. Ni Jinghe also asked Brother Qiu that if someone asked them where they went, he would go to Hua's mother's house.
Early in the morning, the Hua family was worried that Ni Jinghe would be taken away, so she asked Ni Jingwei to go to Qiu Yuanwai's house first and ask Qiu Yuanwai and Butler Qiu to come over to settle the arrears and medicine money. Then go to the town to buy some meat and come back to entertain the coachman who helped drive the car, so that they can return to the county seat early. didn't wait for Ni Jingwei to come back, then Qiu Yuanwai and Steward Qiu arrived, and the Hua family was no longer afraid of seeing Qiu Yuanwai and Steward Qiu as before because they had money in their hands. Warmly stepped forward to receive them, which made Qiu Yuanwai and Steward Qiu a little uncomfortable. When they saw the behavior of the Hua family and the contents of the three carriages and ox carts in the courtyard, they understood that the Hua family was different from the past, and it was not good to embarrass the family too much, maybe the Hua family's mother's family would come when they came. Or someone wants to leave a line, he really wants to see him in the future. "Look at the carriage there are two, and the Hua family's family is afraid that it is bigger than their own family." Qiu Yuanwai thought in his heart, and tried hard to remember whether he had been sorry for the Hua family and his family before. Steward Qiu didn't have so many twists and turns, and he was glad that Ni Jinghe didn't make it difficult for him to speak. After all, he is also a subordinate, although he has a little kinship with Qiu Yuanwai, but there is no way to help Ni Jinghe's family say good things every time.
Ni Jinghe saw that Qiu Yuanwai and Steward Qiu had arrived, so she followed Hua Shi to welcome them out. Ni Jinghe wanted to talk to that Qiu Yuanwai about whether she could sell this house to their family. This house is so dilapidated that Ni Jinghe wants to build a new house. After Ni Jinghe took the Hua family and Qiu Yuanwai to settle the rent owed before, when the Hua family entered the inner room to get the money, he used the unique advantages of children to test Qiu Yuanwai: "Uncle Yuanwai, can you sell the house to us?" That way, you won't have to come to us all the time to demand rent. "Then Qiu Yuanwai had heard Steward Qiu say that this little girl had made an agreement with Steward Qiu, so he seriously asked Ni Jinghe if she really wanted to buy this house? Ni Jing nodded. This Qiu Yuanwai also thought that he could make a good fate, so he said to Ni Jinghe: "If your mother agrees to buy a house, then I will sell this house to you at the price of the base." This house is so old, I'm afraid you have to build it from the new one. ”
Ni Jinghe happily ran into the back room, and almost collided with the Hua clan who was about to come out. Ni Jinghe and Hua talked about buying a house, and said that they would immediately build a new house after buying it. Hua's daughter thinks that it is a one-of-a-kind, but it is also excellent to be able to sell this house, and if she has a house, she will not be picked up by others. also agreed to Ni Jinghe's proposal, and turned around to the hall to talk to Qiu Yuan about buying and selling the house. Everything went smoothly and it was negotiated, and the half-acre vacant land outside the courtyard of the house was sold to Ni Jinghe's family for thirty taels of silver, and the rent originally owed and the money for buying medicine and seeing a doctor before were made into forty taels of silver. Hua gave it to Qiu Yuanwai together, and then asked Ni Jingwei, who had already bought meat back, to accompany the guests and cook in the kitchen by herself.
Aunt Li also came over to help, chatting with Hua Shi and cooking in the kitchen. Ni Jinghe didn't see that there was anything she could help with, so she didn't join in the fun, and went to Brother Qiu's house by herself. Qinglian is still at Brother Qiu's house, and Ni Jinghe plans to have a good talk with Brother Qiu to see if he is willing to come to her house to be a housekeeper. When I arrived at Brother Qiu's house, I saw Brother Qiu arranging breakfast for the two coachmen, and he was so busy this morning that he forgot to make breakfast for the two drivers. Ni Jinghe is becoming more and more satisfied with this big brother Qiu, and must let him be the housekeeper, so that he can save a lot of worry. Seeing that Brother Qiu was busy entertaining the coachman, Ni Jinghe didn't bother him and went to find Qinglian.
When she found Qinglian, Qinglian was helping out in the kitchen of Brother Qiu's house. There is also a little sister of Brother Qiu's family in the kitchen, and her name is also very direct and clear to name the identity of this little girl, and she is called 'Qiu Xiaomei'. She looks three or four years older than Ni Jinghe, and she is a cheerful girl at the age of being lively and active. Ni Jinghe doesn't know anything about things in the kitchen, even if there is nothing about the kitchen in the memory of the original body, it seems that this Qiu Xiaomei should be a master who loves to cook, or she should go home to be a cook. Ni Jinghe recruited an employee for the family in her heart, although Brother Qiu and Little Sister Qiu are slaves, Ni Jinghe has never really treated them as slaves. The new young people who grew up under the red flag of the leader Chairman Mao do not have the habit of treating people as slaves, and they want to find Brother Qiu as a housekeeper and Qiu Xiaomei as a cook, but they all think about it in terms of employment relationship.
In the kitchen and Qinglian Qiu Xiaomei Kan Dashan chatted for a while, Ni Jingwei came to call back to eat, Brother Qiu closed the door and went to Ni Jinghe's house together, when he arrived at home, Ni Jinghe saw that the village chief and Li Zheng in the village were there, and two tables and lotus chairs were also placed in the yard, Hua let the group of men sit at one table, and the women sat at the other table, and the men had the village chief, Li Zheng, Qiu Yuanwai, Qiu Guanjia, two coachmen, Ni Jingwei and Qiu Da Brother, and the women were Hua, Aunt Li, Ni Jinghe, Qinglian and Qiu Xiaomei, There was also a fat sister-in-law who came to help. The food was served, and everyone sat down and began to eat with chopsticks. In the countryside, there are not so many rules, saying that women can't be served at the table and so on. During the meal, Ni Jinghe asked Hua if the matter of buying a house was confirmed, and Hua said that it was confirmed. Just wait for the dinner to let Ni Jingwei and Brother Qiu go to the town with Qiu Yuanwai to change the house deed and land deed. Ni Jinghe didn't speak again when she saw that the Hua family handled it well, after all, the Hua family still lived in the Shizi Mansion, and there were some things that Ni Jinghe, the half-bucket of water from the earth, knew more.
After eating, Brother Qiu drove a newly bought carriage to pull Qiu Yuanwai and Steward Qiu, Ni Jingwei and two coachmen to the town. Aunt Li and the fat sister-in-law were helping Hua Shi collect the dishes and chopsticks, Qinglian and Qiu Xiaomei were helping to wipe the table and chairs, Ni Jinghe saw that she couldn't help anywhere, so she hid in the room to be Miss Jiao. When everyone was busy, Hua counted all the gifts to be sent and asked Aunt Li and Fat Sister-in-law to help deliver them to each household. I originally wanted to wait for the rice and noodles to be sent to buy and send them together, but Aunt Li said that this is not a New Year's Festival, and she is not interested in sending food to others. So now it's okay to send the pastries and fabrics you bought, and Hua also left two people to help deliver the things.
Of course, there will be a difference in this gift, and in addition to the coarse cloth pastry, a piece of satin cloth was added to the family of Li Zheng and the village chief. A few families often take care of their families when the Hua family is in trouble, and they also have an extra piece of satin cloth, while others don't have it. Aunt Li and the fat sister-in-law's family also sent fast satin fabrics, and the two of them originally refused to do so, but Hua said that if they didn't accept it, they wouldn't dare to ask them to help give gifts, so they accepted the gifts that should be given to them. Aunt Li and the fat sister-in-law put the divided things on the ox cart and drove the ox cart to each family, and in this way they sent out more than half of the things they bought, and now there are a few pieces of silk and a few coarse cloths, and a few bags of pastries.
Ni Jinghe called Qiu Xiaomei to her side and asked her, "Qiu Xiaomei, are you married?" That Qiu Xiaomei blushed when asked by Ni Jinghe's straightforward question, but she still replied generously: "No, my brother hasn't married yet, I'm still young." Ni Jinghe asked again: "Do you want to come to me to be a cook?" My family will be more and more populated in the future, and I don't want my mother to be too tired. If you come to my house and be a cook, you can cook a lot of delicious dishes. Ni Jinghe's temptation was undoubtedly a big temptation to Qiu Xiaomei, and I am afraid that their family did not expect it: "Okay, I will come to your house to be a cook, but I can do whatever I want to eat, can I make a decision?" Ni Jinghe liked Qiu Xiaomei's straightforwardness very much: "Okay, as long as you do what you want within the quota, it's up to you to decide." Ni Jinghe abducted the little cook home like this.
