Chapter 207 The Year of Reunion
After this Laba, there were two more snowfalls in the Gyeonggi area, and the end of the year was approaching.
In the early spring rain of the new year, they got up very early to clean the courtyard, and she took the stove candy made by Shun Niang and went to the car shop to send a lot, but on the way back received a letter from home. The letter said that they decided to come to the capital for the New Year, but the boat was crowded with few people, and finally they rented a boat to carry a family of four to the capital.
Chunyu knows that this is the case at the end of the year, although it is not as good as the Spring Festival in later generations, but it is not much to give. When they came, they spent eight taels of silver, and their parents came here in the New Year, and they were afraid that they would need at least ten taels of silver.
But fortunately, she went back to the letter before, and it was time to collect the cash at the end of the year. The rent of the pedestrian street, the share of Uncle Guo's car dealership, the share of Chunhui flower fan and the incense glutinous fang are afraid that it will be more than 1,000 taels, and Chunyu asked her father and mother to keep the money, but they took their 1,000 taels of silver before. So she is not afraid that her father and mother will not have money to spend, and they are all coming to the capital, so there is no need to prepare New Year's goods, she only needs to help her grandmother buy some, and then go to her relatives' house in advance, and the gifts will not cost much.
As for the spring rain, they had already prepared enough New Year's goods five days ago, and the family members also bought a new set of clothes. Although the price of goods in the capital is high, and it costs a full fifty taels of silver, the spring rain is not distressed at all. After all, earning money is to live a better life, and the place that should be saved cannot be wasted, but the place where it should be spent cannot be saved.
There is also the fact that she thought about her house being too small a few days ago, but she had no money in her hand and couldn't buy a better yard. As a result, Hall Master Liu accidentally learned about this matter, but he was generous, not only did not want the income of the car dealership for the time being, but also helped Chunyu to watch each other. On the Yuhua Street where the West City and the East City intersect, I helped Chunyu see a small courtyard with three entrances. It is said that it is small, but it has an exclusive courtyard with three entrances and two exits, and there is a small garden in it, and there is a small pond and two rockeries, and some evergreen plants and trees are also planted. And there are more than a dozen rooms in that room, and the main hall for entertaining guests is also bright and relaxed, and the stove is also quite small, and there are two large stoves and two small stoves inside. The thatched latrine is located at the back, and it is also a white ash wall, and the slate pit is clean and tight. And the west wall of the second entrance is there. There were also three small houses, about flower houses and something.
Chunyu was really satisfied when she saw it, although it was far less than what she had seen before. The last five-entry yard on Yuyou Street, where the car dealership is located, is in line with its own door.
However, this place is close to East Street, and Chunyu expects that even if it is a three-entry courtyard, I am afraid that the price is not low. After asking, it turned out to be nine hundred taels. Fortunately, this is just an opening price, and the owner is from Jiangnan. I wanted to come to the capital for development, and the results were not very good, so I wanted to go home. Because he wanted to rush back to his hometown for the New Year, he was in a hurry to resell the yard. In addition, Hall Master Liu asked his younger brother Liu Teng, who was the owner of the tooth shop, to come forward, and finally sold it for seven hundred taels of silver.
And the spring rain and the money they earned in the shop eased for a while. The car dealership also has some share. But when the expenses were thrown, it was only five hundred taels of silver in his hand, and since the car dealer Liu Tang Master did not accept the share for the time being. Just gave the brothers some red envelope money for the New Year, and she could have moved out five hundred taels of silver first. After leaving the seven hundred taels that bought the yard. Another hundred taels will be used for the New Year's expenses and to renovate the yard.
Here, she had just bought the yard, and she went to the government to wait for the house deed to pay for the vouchers, and the master of the Troomon found a craftsman to come and repair the yard, and the letters from the family came over.
Chunyu thought that because of the New Year, she was afraid that the itinerary would be slow, and she should be able to wait until her parents, brothers and sisters came over. After all, the yard didn't need to be repaired, and the spring rain just asked them to build a fence on the edge of the pond in front of them, otherwise they would always feel that it would be dangerous. Then another thatched toilet was built next to the latrine, and in the future, the family would also be divided into men's and women's toilets, and it would be convenient for the family to have many people.
Then there is the bathroom, which is also located on the side of the toilet, repairing a big one, and setting up a small stove outside to boil water.
And now there are more rooms, Chunyu's family has moved over, and the convenience shop is still watched by Brother Liu, they don't have to come to live, the two live in that small courtyard, Chunyu also sent them a servant woman named Aunt Liu, who can also be honest and can take care of their lives. As for Liu Ru, she gave her two brothers to live there temporarily during the Chinese New Year, and when she waited for the New Year, she still lived with Chunyu and them, and it was convenient to take care of her and go to school in the car dealership.
As for Guo Lin, Chunyu also asked Wen Zheng to invite him once, but he couldn't say that he could live, and it was convenient for him to communicate with his classmates as soon as he came to Zhuangyuan Alley. But Chunyu said that he would be with their family for a few days during the New Year, and Guo Lin responded.
Zhang Huzi and Zao'er are not going back for the New Year, they have already sent letters back, asking Zhang Dajun to help him see his grandmother, and by the way, help her buy some good New Year's goods. Zhang Dajun later wrote that he directly took his aunt, that is, the grandmother of Zhang Huzi's brothers and sisters, back to Lao Li's house, which happened to be built in the old courtyard now bright and comfortable, and there were many rooms, but only Li Tietou and Li Liu's old couple lived, and the children were not around and a little lonely, so they took his aunt back to live. First, his father and mother also have many companions, and his aunt is no longer alone, and the two brothers and sisters Zhang Huzi and Zao'er, who are far away in the capital, are also relieved, isn't this excellent.
Zhang Huzi was very grateful when he saw the letter, and secretly encouraged himself to work harder in order to repay their family.
It may be because the New Year is over, the craftsmen don't want to delay the New Year's home, and the people who are invited by the Lord of the Luo Gate are also skilled in their crafts, so it only takes three or four days to work hard, and the yard has been repaired.
Chunyu went to the car dealership to call someone, and it took half a day to clean it up. The furniture is easy to say, and I don't need it too well, so I went to the old goods market, and bought several sets of new pear wood furniture that looked elegant and generous, and arranged the rooms at home to think about it, and only used fifty taels of silver before and after.
Then it took another half a day, with Chun Tao, Zao'er, Wenzheng and Shun Niang, and went to buy a set of pots and spoons, rice, flour and oil, sauce and vinegar tea for the stove, as well as in addition to the old bedding and sheets that were moved, and bought a few new sets, which cost about fifty taels this time.
Their family moved not as much as they did in their hometown, but they didn't pay attention to it at all, and the next day after they cleaned up, they moved completely. (To be continued.) )
