Shen Xi left the pharmacy and went directly to Zhou's tailor's shop, more than a dozen women were doing needlework in the house, Shen Xi went up and grabbed Zhou's hand and dragged it out.

"Did you take the wrong medicine? Let go of the mother, the mother still has to work. Zhou scolded.

Shen Xi raised his little head: "Mother, I have found a house, you can follow me to have a look." ”

Zhou's face was full of surprise.

The husband went out to look for a house and there was no news, and the son actually had a fall?

Zhou thought about it and decided to take a look: "Then call Dai'er...... Dai'er, come here, let's get off work early today! ”

After asking for leave from the forewoman, Zhou came out with Shen Xi, and threatened viciously: "If you kid dare to entertain the old lady, see how the old lady cleans you up!" It happened that there was a needle pinned to his body, so Zhou took off the needle and shook it twice, "When the time comes, the old lady will prick you with a needle!" ”

Shen Xi didn't speak, and took Zhou to the pharmacy next to "Sigu Zhai".

Zhou didn't dare to go in when he arrived at the door, the shop in front of him looked very formal, if Shen Xi fooled her, it would be a big shame when the time came.

"This sister, please come inside."

However, the owner of the shop came out first, and she immediately understood when she saw Shen Xi.

Zhou was a little flustered: "I'...... I'm not here to buy medicine. ”

"Yes, I know...... Come, please come inside and speak. ”

Saying that, the woman invited the confused-looking Zhou to come inside, Lin Dai looked at Shen Xi, stuck out her tongue mischievously, and followed in.

The woman directly welcomed Zhou to the main hall in the backyard of the pharmacy, sat down and roughly explained the previous incident, the woman was actually confused, only knowing that the child she had kindly invited to shelter from the rain suddenly sent more than two taels of silver today, saying that she wanted to rent a house, and she didn't know anything else.

"Hanwa'er, where did you get the money?" Zhou glared at Shen Xi angrily.

Shen Xi said, "It's no problem for the silver to come from...... Before leaving, the old gentleman left a painting and asked me to take it to the calligraphy and painting shop to sell on the consignment, and I only sold it today. There is too much silver, I am afraid that I will lose it on the road, and it just so happens that the **** is sheltering from the rain in this store, and I know that my aunt is a kind person, so I want her to help rent a house. ”

Zhou was stunned again, how could anything be done to the old Taoist?

The woman said, "Sister, don't blame the child...... In fact, I noticed him before, he often went to the calligraphy and painting shop next door. It rained that day, and all the shops along the street were closed, and my sister saw that he was drenched, so she invited him into the shop to take shelter from the rain. Today, he also came out of a calligraphy and painting shop, so it shouldn't be the silver that he got by cheating...... If my sister doesn't believe me, she can go next door and ask. ”

Zhou didn't doubt it now, and sighed: "My sister is polite, in fact, this kid ...... There was a chance to meet an old gentleman who appreciated him, and the old gentleman not only taught him to read and learn calligraphy, but also left him with things before leaving. Speaking of which, our family owes the old gentleman a lot. ”

"As long as the money comes from no problem!"

The woman nodded with relief and said with a smile: "Coincidentally, after my father-in-law died of illness, he left this shop and the yard in the back alley, which has been uninhabited for the past two years. ”

The two chatted for a few words and fell in love very much, and the sisters and sisters were very affectionate.

Zhou was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked, "Sister, how much is the rent per month?" ”

"Meeting is fate...... I don't charge much for rent, but it's good for my sister to see fifty dollars a month? If my sister doesn't think it's appropriate, we can discuss it again. ”

Zhou's heart blossomed.

Fifty yuan to rent a courtyard with three rooms, even in the vicinity of the county, may not be possible. Now with the 226 coins of silver that Shen Xi got from the calligraphy and painting shop, according to the official price, it is a full 2,600 copper plates, enough for the family to live for a few years.

"What's so embarrassing?" Zhou felt that he had taken advantage of others, and said politely.

The woman had a kind smile on her face: "To be honest, the reason why my sister hasn't rented a yard to go out in the past two years is because I am afraid that someone will live in it and affect the reputation of our mother and daughter." But my sister's family looks very good, and the child is so obedient that the parents must be no worse. My sister wants to have a confidant like my sister by her side, and she will have a companion in the future. ”

Zhou's heart was naturally a hundred happy, but she still couldn't believe that there was such a good thing as pie from the sky, but after the woman took Zhou to the back alley to see the yard, Zhou was finally completely relieved.

Although the yard is not big, it is better than exquisite, spacious one main and two compartments three large rooms plus two ear rooms, one of the ear rooms is the kitchen, the stove is neatly tied, and the other ear room is the toilet. The patio in the middle is very large, an ancient well is clean and clear, and the well water is sweet and sweet.

The beds and cabinets in the room are ready-made, and you can live in them without adding anything.

After a simple exchange, the Zhou family learned that the woman's surname was Sun, her name was Hui Niang, and now the surname Lu of her husband's family was Lu Sun's. This Lu Sun's Hui Niang is quite virtuous, and after her husband died of illness, she took her daughter to take care of the pharmacy, barely able to maintain her living expenses. As for other details, because they had just met, it was inconvenient for Zhou to ask more.

After everything was agreed, Zhou happily took Shen Xi and Lin Dai home, and when it was dark, Shen Mingjun came back, and Zhou happily told her husband about it.

Shen Mingjun was greatly excited when he heard this, and the matter that had made him worry for two days was finally resolved satisfactorily, and the family could finally continue to stay in the city.

"We're going to move things over tomorrow morning...... I'm going to ask Steward Liu for half a day off, and I'll clean up the yard in the past, and we'll live a peaceful and stable life in the future. Shen Mingjun said with a bit of longing.

Zhou responded with a smile, but she was still thinking about the kindness of the old Taoist: "The master, if you want to say all this, it is all thanks to the old gentleman, but unfortunately we have no chance to meet, let's set up a place to live, burn incense every day, and ask the Bodhisattva to bless his old man's life for a hundred years." ”

Shen Mingjun happily agreed: "It's up to Mrs. to decide." ”

The so-called birth position is a tablet set up for the living to thank Dade. After Shen Xi listened to the conversation of his parents, the expression on his face was as strange as it was, this old Taoist priest was simply made up out of thin air, who didn't know what his surname was, how could this life be legislated?

After dinner, Zhou asked Shen Xi and Lin Dai to go back to the room to pack their things, but everyone had their own baggage, and Lin Dai's burden was much greater than Shen Xi's.

"How long have you been in the house? Why do you have so many more things than me? Shen Xi wanted to open Lin Dai's baggage to see what it contained, but the little girl hurriedly stopped: "Don't move, it's all bought for me by my mother, and there is nothing suitable for you." ”

Shen Xi pursed his lips: "Stingy, she will definitely be a daughter-in-law who picks the door in the future." ”

"Hmph."

Lin Dai snorted lightly, rummaged through the cabinets and continued to check if there was anything missing.

Shen Xi crouched on the table, holding the lower handpiece with both hands, watching Lin Dai pounding, while thinking about how to transfer the things hidden in the utility room to the new home tomorrow.

Just after midnight the next morning, Shen Mingjun went to find an ox cart to come over, and the family put the burden and bedding on the cart, and Zhou kept chanting: "I will have another quilt today, and after moving over, Hanwa and Dai'er will sleep separately." ”

Shen Xi looked at Lin Dai, who was picking up the things in the baggage, and shrugged his shoulders: "Mother, in fact, there is no need to be so troublesome, the child is still young, just sleep in the same bed with Dai'er." ”

Zhou scolded: "What do you kid know? Men and women don't kiss, although she is your adoptive daughter-in-law, but if you don't get married and sleep together for a day, your name is not right, and others will gossip. It was no condition to let you sleep together before, but now everything is ready-made, so naturally it is better to separate. Sit tight or I'll turn you upside down and become a fool in a moment! ”

The family sat in an ox cart and slowly arrived at the ground, and Lu Sun's Hui Niang (hereinafter referred to as Hui Niang) waited at the door early to help carry it.

Originally, Shen Mingjun planned to take a day off and tidy up his new home, but because Wang Yuanwai had something to do temporarily, he had to take a few long-term workers to the countryside, including Shen Mingjun. In desperation, Shen Mingjun had to hire an ox cart and help carry things onto the cart, and went to work.

As a result, there is only a group of women and children to carry the truck when it is unloaded.

Fortunately, the family did not stay in the city for a long time, and all the belongings were filled in a large box, and Zhou and Hui Niang worked together to carry the box into the main house.

After doing all this, Zhou hurriedly urged Shen Xi to go to school, and she and Lin Dai stayed to clean up the yard.
