Chapter 25: Going to School (2)
After some persuasion by Li Xin, in the end, Wenbo and Wenhao agreed to go to school in the town.
There is a long distance between the town and the village, and it is certainly unrealistic to walk to study every day. Li Xin thought that he should still buy a house in the town, anyway, the family is not short of money now. In the past, the bamboo shoot juice, the shopkeeper Sun gave a hundred taels of silver, and later potatoes and pumpkins have been sold, and the total amount of more than fifty taels of silver has been collected, and it is very generous to buy a house in the town that is not too big.
She can't move to the town now, Yuexiang and Yueting are still young, she definitely wants to take them with her, so only the two brothers Wenbo and Wenhao go to live in the town, and the house doesn't need to be very big, enough for the two of them to live.
After thinking about buying a house, Li Xin looked for a day and took Wenbo and Wenhao to the town. She only knew Shopkeeper Sun from the people in the town, so she went all the way to Pinxiang Pavilion. Now that she is very familiar with the shopkeeper Sun, she also wants to ask the shopkeeper Sun. Shopkeeper Sun has been in the town for a long time, and he must be familiar with the things in the town.
The guys in Pinxiangge were also familiar with their family, and when they saw Li Xin coming with their two younger brothers, they hurriedly welcomed them in and went to inform the shopkeeper Sun. Li Xin's sister and brother didn't sit in the hall on the first floor for a long time, and the shopkeeper Sun came downstairs.
"Miss Li is here! But what's the matter? Shopkeeper Sun was very happy to see Li Xin, and hurriedly beckoned the guy to send some new snacks.
"Look at what Shopkeeper Sun said, can't you come if you have nothing to do? How dare I come casually in the future. Li Xin said with a smile.
"Miss Li's words are very wronged. On weekdays, if Miss Li is fine, she will come in casually, but I am afraid that she will pass through the door and not enter! ”
"Shopkeeper Sun is a busy man, and I don't dare to disturb him casually! Speaking of which, when I came here today, I really wanted the help of Shopkeeper Sun. Li Xin then said that Wenbo and Wenhao were going to school in the town and needed to find a house.
"That's what happened! People say that it is better to come early than to come by chance, but Miss Li is too coincidental. Yesterday, when a regular customer came over, he said that because his son was doing a big business outside, he wanted to take their family to live. The son of that family had already bought a big house outside, and Sanshi Town should never come back, so he thought about selling all the fields in the house. It's okay to say that the fields are separated, and a few acres of a family will be bought. It's not easy to keep a house, the house is not big or small, the rich and noble people must think it's small, and the average person can't take out so much silver for a while. So it's been difficult to deal with, and the son has written to urge him several times, but because the house has not been sold, he has never moved. Since Miss Li also wants to sell the house, why don't you go over and have a look! ”
"I can't imagine such a coincidence!" Li Xin was a little happy in his heart. These three stone towns are not big, they are not small, and she is afraid that it will be difficult to find a house for a while! If it is a very prosperous big city, then there is a large flow of people, and it is naturally not difficult to find a house. However, Sanshi Town, although it is a relatively prosperous town, has no way to compare with the big city, and the population of the town is not very large, and I am really afraid that no one will sell the house for a while!
"Yes! I also said that it was a coincidence! I've been to see the place, and the house is well built, although I have lived there for a few years, but everywhere is good. The pillar was also specially found when it was built, although it was not a precious wood, but it belonged to mahogany, not to mention hard, and there was not even a worm's eye after living in it for many years. The only bad point is that the place is a little out of the way, if you live in your own house is very quiet, it is not suitable for business. ”
"Listening to what Shopkeeper Sun said, it's good to want to come to the house. As for the partial, it's nothing, and the family doesn't do business, just for the two children. ”
"In that case, why don't I take you to see it!"
Shopkeeper Sun was willing to take them on a trip in person, Li Xin was naturally happy, so he didn't refuse, but thanked Shopkeeper Sun again and again. Shopkeeper Sun explained to the guys in the store, and then took Li Xin's sister and brother out of the door. The area of the entire Sanshi Town is not very large, so it didn't take long for the four of them to stand at the door of the family that Shopkeeper Sun said.
There are two black locust trees at the door of the house, which must have been planted for some years, and the trees are very tall and leafy, and they cast a large area of green shade. At this time, the flowering period has passed, and the shadow of the locust flower can no longer be seen, but it is also very beautiful to look at these two trees.
Shopkeeper Sun stepped forward and knocked on the door, and after a while, the door opened. The person who came to open the door was a middle-aged man, who looked like he was in his forties, and when he saw the shopkeeper Sun, he welcomed them all in with a smile. Shopkeeper Sun told the middle-aged man that Li Xin's sister and brother had come to see the house, and the man was very surprised. After all, Li Xin's sisters and brothers are still young, and the eldest Li Xin is only eleven years old, but she is just a little girl who has not yet grown in appearance. And Wenbo and Wenhao are younger, and they are simply children.
But surprise is surprise, in the end it was the shopkeeper Sun who brought it, and the man took Li Xin's sister and brother to see the house seriously.
There are three main rooms in the house of two entrances, there is a utility room and a thatched room on the left side, and the kitchen is on the right side, the kitchen area is not small, one end is the stove for cooking, and the other end is a table, which is the place where the owner's family eats on weekdays. The courtyard is also relatively wide, which makes people look very comfortable. Under the steps of the house, there is also a low fence around the flower platform, in which a number of flowers and plants are planted, some of which are in bloom, blooming just right, spitting fire in full swing, full of life. Although it is not a precious flower, it grows well and looks very beautiful.
The yard is also planted with fruit trees, including pomegranates, dates, and longan. There are also a few red flowers on the pomegranate tree occasionally, which are as red as fire in the hot summer, and they look very beautiful. There are also a number of pomegranates hanging between the branches and leaves, and you can imagine how fruitful they are when they are ripe. And the jujube tree and the longan tree also bear a lot of fruit, which is gratifying to look at.
And the house is also good, although it looks a little old, but there is nothing damaged in it. And those pillars, as Shopkeeper Sun said, are generally mahogany, although they are not precious, I also know that they must have been carefully collected at that time. The wood is hard, and even after years of use, there is not even a single insect eye on it. The pillars used by ordinary people are relatively ordinary, and after being used for a long time, even if the appearance is painted, there will inevitably be a lot of insect eyes on it, and gradually, there will be gaps inside.
Just looking at it like this, Li Xin felt a little satisfied in his heart. Shopkeeper Sun is a very reliable person, and if it is not good, he will not tell her
