Chapter 6 Leaving the Helm of the House

The four of them went to the Yahang to look for a house, but before they entered the Yahang Gate, An Wenchuan was stopped by a person holding his neck, and An Wenchuan saw that he was bald.

This bald head Qiang, formerly known as Li Qiang, is called bald head Qiang because of a bald head, he is idle all day long, and he once learned carpentry with An Wenchuan but couldn't stand it, and gave up after a few days of study.

"Isn't this An Wenchuan? How did you get here? The bald head hugged Wen Chuan's neck and said enthusiastically.

"My younger siblings and I are going to find a house, and we plan to stay in the county!" Wen Chuan said as he beckoned An Li a few times closer.

"Have you made a fortune lately? Can you afford to live in a house in the county? The bald head asked suspiciously.

"No, I don't have much money in my hand, so I want to rent a cheaper house, and I don't know it well in the county, so I don't come to ask about it." An Wenchuan replied honestly.

"Well, you must not be familiar with the situation of the dental shop when you work with the master every day, so I know that the rent in a place is very cheap, only 1,200 yuan a month, but it is to pay off the year's house money in one lump sum." The bald head said as he looked at Wen Chuan's face.

"I'm afraid we can't afford this." An Wenchuan said hesitantly.

"What about half a year?" The bald head asked again.

"Half a year is about the same," An Wenchuan nodded.

"Just by virtue of our relationship, I will intercede with you, it will definitely work in half a year, and I will take you to see the house!" The bald head said enthusiastically and pulled Wen Chuan to the king's front.

An Li always looked at this bald head and didn't look like a good person, but seeing that An Wenchuan was very familiar with him, he couldn't say anything, so he could only pull Xinghua and Erniu Dan to follow closely behind.

The bald head led An Wenchuan and several people to a private house, and a slightly chubby middle-aged woman came out of the house.

The bald head hurriedly said with a smile on his face: "These people are relatives of my family, and they will live here today, the rent will be sent over in a while, and I will take them to see the house first." ”

The middle-aged woman was just about to say something, but when she heard the rent, she said, "Then you hurry up!" ”

After saying that, he turned around and went back to the main house.

The room that the bald head Qiang said was a side room in this big house, and there was a kang in the house, and there were two bedding on the kang, and it was not a problem for four people to sleep together. So An Wenchuan simply took out seven taels of silver and handed it to the bald head.

The bald head took the money and walked outside, and said with a smile as he walked: "Okay, I'll send the money to others, and you pack it up first." ”

"Brother, why don't you follow along and have a look?" An Li has always been a little uneasy about this bald head.

"No need, how can you pack up quickly, you have to live here at night!" Wen Chuan said as he cleaned up the bed.

"Brother, I don't think the bald head is a good person, I guess we were deceived!" An Li said with certainty that she had heard a problem with the conversation between Bald Qiang and the landlord just now.

"Sister, don't think about it, how old are you, how many people have you met?" An Wenchuan didn't want to stay in the county seat, so he was very unhappy with An Lihua.

An Li is not a landlord, and said confidently: "If you are deceived by the bald head, I will have the final say in the An family from now on?" ”

An Wenchuan frowned, and said helplessly: "Okay, I agreed, as long as you have a lot of thoughts, hurry up and clean up!" "In his opinion, he has won." Okay, that's it! An Li clapped his hands, and the money should be used as a lesson for the eldest brother.

A few people cleaned up and stayed like this.

The next day, just after dawn, An Li hadn't gotten up yet, when he saw the chubby middle-aged woman from yesterday blocking the door and knocking on the door: "I said, you should get up too, hurry up, it's all dawn and get up and leave!" ”

An Wenchuan was confused, first stunned, and then thought badly, could it be that what my sister said yesterday was true?

An Li had long seen that the bald head was not like a good person, and he was really deceived.

An Wenchuan hurriedly stepped on his shoes and hurriedly walked over and said, "Didn't we let the bald head give half a year's house money?" ”

"It's enough fart, the bald head has lived with me for a year, and I only paid off the house money yesterday. If it weren't for the sake of these few taels of silver, I would have allowed you to sleep here for another night? The bald head is strong, but I will let you stay for a night. Alright, let's go? Saying that, the middle-aged woman began to flirt.

An Wenchuan's four brothers and sisters were coaxed out like this, and several people were very depressed when they walked on the street, and An Wenchuan kept his head down and didn't speak, only An Li didn't care.

The four of them went to the tooth shop again, and the middle-aged people in the tooth shop took them around many places and did not have a suitable house. It's either too expensive, or it requires a one-year payment. The intermediary was also impatient, so he said: "I have a place to go, but this intermediary fee is 200 yuan." If it weren't for the fact that you are all children, I wouldn't have taken you to this place. ”

"Where?" An Li hurried over.

The intermediary pointed to the direction of the ferry and said, "This ferry is called Wan'andu, do you see the bridge being repaired?" In order to build this bridge, the county commander sent people to build hundreds of houses two years ago, which were specially rented to the people, and the rent was used to repair this bridge, which has been being repaired for two years. ”

Hearing this, An Li immediately gave a thumbs up to this county magistrate in his heart, what a master! This is the ancient version of public rental housing, with a house to raise a bridge, high! It's really high!

Following the direction of the intermediary's finger, An Li saw that a magnificent bridge was being built, the main body of the bridge had been almost repaired, and the bank of the bridge was indeed densely covered with tiled houses, even with eaves, and there was no gap between the houses.

An Li asked, "How much is the house money a month?" ”

"1000 Texts" is humanitarian.

"So cheap?" An Li almost exclaimed.

"Hehe, even if the bridge has not been repaired yet, if you want to cross the shore and bypass half of the town, it is estimated that you will walk for half an hour, even if you ferry it, it is not cheap!" The middle man smiled and touched his nose.

"If the bridge is built, it will be a good place." An Li sighed, "Cheng, that's it, brother, what do you think of Xinghua?" ”

The second cow egg was directly ignored.

"yes, okay!"

"Alright, that's it!"

Wenchuan and Xinghua are both in favor.

Walked for about half an hour to the side of the bridge bank house, there is nothing to pick, all the houses are the same, a small room of about 20 square meters, there is only a 2 meters wide and 5 meters long narrow kang inside, the kang head is connected to a 1 square meter stove.

The courtyard outside is not large, except for the passageway, which is against the wall, and there is a gap of less than a meter. However, there is a vegetable cellar in each yard, which is small but still very practical. An Li chose a room with a handle and signed the deed, paid 1,000 wen for rent, and gave 200 wen for the Chinese man.

An Wenchuan sneered and took the swill money he earned, and said to An Li: "The girl is careful, you will still be in charge of the house in the future!" ”

An Li was ecstatic in his heart, God still treats me well, if I wear it on Xinghua's body, I won't even have the right to be in charge.

The place where I live has finally been settled, and now it's really a home. It's past the time of application, and if you go faster, you can still rush back to the market before the break.

When he arrived at the market, Wen Chuan asked for 100 Wen and went to the blacksmith shop to make cooking utensils, and made an appointment to meet at the entrance of the market.

An Li asked Xinghua to take two cow eggs to buy cotton cloth, cotton and then buy some cloth, An Li wanted to have a quilt per person, it doesn't matter if it is made thinner, it is not yet winter, and when there is money, it is also a hurry, so he gave Xinghua 150 money, and it is also an appointment to meet at the market entrance, and after the rags in the morning, An Li does not want to go to scold again.

An Li carefully searched the bazaar for what was both cheap and needed. After turning around, An Li found that there was an old goods market in the corner of the market, but An Li was very happy, although it was an old thing, it couldn't stand cheap.

An Li suddenly came to the urge to shop, first spent 3 yuan to buy two old straw mats, thinking that he would make do with it first and wait for the money to make two thick mattresses, when he paid An Li also hated to tighten his nose, and spent 20 yuan to buy two old quilts, and the big man who sold things tied them up with straw ropes.

What is missing when you have laid and covered? Pillow! Before he bought the pillow, An Li stuffed the straw mat into the rope and asked, "Uncle, where are the pillows sold?" ”

Dahan pointed to a few old wooden lumps with carved patterns on the ground, and said, "There are also porcelain ones, but they are more expensive." ”

An Li thought that this was going to be taken back to modern times, so it wouldn't be a sensation if he was on the treasure appreciation show? This is an antique! But if you want to sleep on your pillow, forget it.

An Li picked up the quilt and walked to the market entrance, passed by the rice shop and bought two liters of cornmeal, and bought a few liters of bran to feed the livestock.

With a quilt on his back, two hands carrying bran, and cornmeal on his mouth, An Li walked towards the market entrance with difficulty, but it was not very far.

When he arrived at the entrance of the market, Anli just took off the quilt on his back, and saw that Xinghua was also carrying cotton, holding a bunch of cotton cloth in both hands, and even Erniu Dan was holding a big burden in his arms, and he was trembling and walked to the entrance of the market.

An Li hurriedly took a few steps to take the burden in Erniudan's hand, and listened to Erniudan's words, "Sister, the eldest brother of the cotton shop said that there is no cloth here yet, and we will sell it by the weight of the rags." ”

Xinghuabian put things down and teased: "Yes, yes, you are the most capable, a big brother, people will give you away for nothing." ”

After speaking, he saw An Wenchuan with a load of firewood tied to his back and an iron pot in his hand, sweating back, and there was a knife, four bowls and an iron spoon in the iron pot.

"I helped the blacksmith shop chop my son's firewood, pots, and knives, all of which are the cheapest," An Wenchuan wiped his sweat and said.

Leaving Xinghua and Erniu Dan to look at things, Wen Chuan went to hire an ox cart, An Li trotted to the bun shop, asked for 10 meat buns, 5 mixed noodles steamed buns, put down the money and rushed back.

Wenchuan also negotiated the price, and sent people and things home for a total of 10 yuan. When I got home, it was dark, everyone was eating and packing up, Wenchuan lit a fire to boil water, An Li and Xinghua were busy spreading straw mats and old quilts on the kang, and Er Niu Dan squatted on the ground to pick up the cloth from the rags.

After the water was boiled, Wen Chuan began to gather the things on the ground, saw a bag of bran shells, and said, "What are you buying this for?" This is eaten by animals, and people can't eat it? ”

An Li dragged the bag to the kang and said, "This is my baby!" ”

An Li roughly told Xinghua about the method, and soon the two of them made four pillows, and specially made a small pillow for Erniu Dan. Erniu Dan likes it even more, and I think it is much more comfortable than sleeping on a wooden pillow.

"I can finally get a good night's sleep tonight!" An Li said happily, "I just don't know what happened to that crossing man now!" ”

Inexplicably, An Li remembered him
