64. Pie in the Sky III
Hua and Lin Yu stayed for one night, and went back early the next morning, and Lin Xue asked Li Qi to drive the ox cart to deliver it.
The construction site has not had to send food since yesterday, just fine, Lin Xue sent Hua's back to sleep again, when he woke up, his hand unintentionally reached to the pillow and touched a hard thing, and he was curious to take it out and take a look, it was a brown purse, embroidered with a few plum blossoms, Lin Xue recognized it, it was Hua's, and tried hard to raise her head so that the tears would not fall, this is the mother's love for her daughter, obscure pay, never ask for anything in return.
Lin Xue locked the purse into the cabinet, she didn't plan to use the money in it, she had to return it to her mother when she had a chance, took out all the money in the family and counted it, there were more than a hundred taels in total, Lin Xue took out seventy taels and put the rest back, Dazhu's family was taking out some, it should be enough to buy a restaurant.
"Xiaoxue, I'm back." Li Qi pushed the door open and walked in.
Lin Xue greeted her, "There's nothing to do on the road, didn't you see your father?" β
"See, when I went, my father was chopping wood, and he had to leave me to eat, and I said that there was something to delay, so my father packed me some fruit and asked me to bring it back to taste." Richie put the basket on the table.
Lin Xue looked at it, they were all common fruits, but there were no more on the market this season, it must have been specially saved by her father and mother, and she wanted her married daughter to taste it, so she picked up an apple and took a bite, which was sweet to her heart.
"Boss, you can taste it too, it's delicious." Lin Xue took some out, "Give the rest to your father." β
Li Qi took a few more out, "Send less, Yunyun likes to eat." β
Lin Xue took the basket and went to the upper room, only the old man and the Wang family were in the restaurant where everyone else went, "Dad, this is the fruit sent by my mother, you can also taste it, it tastes very good." β
"Bring it to me and I'll take a look." Wang commanded.
Lin Xue walked over and put the basket in front of Wang.
Wang looked at it, there was only half a basket, and his face sank, "It's really enough, so many people give such a point, enough for anyone to eat." β
Lin Xue endured anything else, but this was a part of her father's heart, how could she let others spoil it, "I kept some, and I plan to send it to the osmanthus, and if the villagers have good things, they should let everyone taste them, you say yes, mother." β
Speaking of this, Wang didn't know what to say, pouted and locked the basket into the cabinet.
The old man smoked a dry cigarette and said, "Why haven't you gone to the restaurant at this time, and you don't plan to open the door." β
"Well, Osmanthus plans to buy the restaurant and renovate it, so it won't be open for the next few days." Lin Xue said half of it and left half of it.
The old man raised his head and asked, "Why do you suddenly want to buy it, is there anything wrong?" β
It's a family, Lin Xue reminded her and said, "I heard that people are going to repair the official road, so Osmanthus wants to take down the restaurant, and when the time comes, I can also make a fortune, Dad, I think our restaurant should also be bought." β
"Who do you listen to, are you reliable?"
Lin Xue shook her head and showed a wry smile, "I just listened to what the guests said, I don't know if it's true, but even if the official road can't be cultivated, it's more convenient for the house to become your own." β
The old man was a little disappointed, "I know, you have to think about it, you go out and get busy." β
Lin Xue lowered her head and walked out, the tables and chairs she pulled back yesterday were still on the ox cart, and Li Qi was moving to the house, and the original set was placed in the courtyard first.
"Xiaoxue, what about this old one."
Lin Xue looked at it, the paint on the table had fallen off, the corners were also damaged, and several stools were uneven, "Let's cut the fire, it's useless to keep it."
Li Qi raised the table above his head with both hands, and Lin Xue took a stool in each hand, planning to put it in the backyard first, and then clean it up when he had time.
Lin Xue went back to the house to get some fruit, and the two went to Dazhu's house, "Boss, let Feng'er go to the school after the New Year, our family's money is enough." β
"Okay," Li Qi's face turned red with excitement, and he could finally let his son go to school.
The door of Dazhu's house was open, Lin Xue pushed the door open and walked in, "Osmanthus, are you there." β
"Sister-in-law, I'm in the kitchen." Osmanthus was cooking, and when she heard Lin Xue's voice and walked out, "Dazhu, the third brother and sister-in-law are here, come out quickly." β
"Osmanthus, don't call it, let's just go in."
Osmanthus took off her apron, welcomed the two in, and hurried to make tea, "Sister-in-law, are you going to Lizheng's house now?" β
Lin Xue took the teacup, "Yes, let's do it before the news comes out, osmanthus, I have another seventy taels of silver here, you are making up some I think it should be enough." β
Dazhu also walked out, "Sister-in-law, I have fifty taels here, and I plan to take them out, so your family doesn't have to pay so much." β
Fifty taels, this should be all the savings of the Dazhu family, Lin Xue shook her head, "It's better for you to keep a little silver, in case something happens, you can also respond to emergencies, let's do what we can, whoever is richer will pay more, it's all a family that cares about what to do so much." β
Osmanthus was a little moved, her sister-in-law's family really regarded them as relatives, and pulled the sleeves of Dazhu, "Sister-in-law, we all listen to you, and you can do what you say." β
"Well, I agree." Dazhu said.
Lin Xue stood up, "Then you can take out thirty taels, and I'll take out the rest," Dazhu hurriedly took out the silver and handed it to Lin Xue, three pieces of silver of ten taels, heavy in his hand.
"Dazhu, Li Zheng, I'll just go with your third brother, you and Osmanthus are waiting at home, it's not convenient to do things if there are too many people." Lin Xue doesn't want to make a lot of noise, so it's better to keep a low profile.
Dazhu nodded, he agreed, took the silver Lin Xue and Li Qi went straight to Li Zheng's house, and it happened that Li Zheng was also there, and Lin Xue directly explained his intention.
After hearing this, Li Zheng muttered, "This faΓ§ade has never been sold, everyone is renting, you suddenly want to buy it, and I also know how much money to charge." β
Lin Xue heard that there was hope, as long as she could buy it, the rest was easy to discuss, "Lieutenant, you said a price, if it works, we will ask for it, if it doesn't work, we are discussing." β
Li Zheng likes straightforward people, and when he heard Lin Xue say this, he had a good impression in his heart, and lowered the price he just thought of by one percent, "Eighty taels, what do you think." β
"Deal." Although this price is more expensive than buying a house of the same size, Lin Xue bought a faΓ§ade and thought of the value it could create, so she felt that it was not expensive.
