After waiting for half a cup of tea, there was no movement in the courtyard, someone had already yawned, and even Hu Shi was a little bottomless in his heart, but Guo Mianmian always looked at the door attentively.

Suddenly, someone spoke: "Listen! Is there movement outside? ”

After he had finished speaking, everyone also came to their senses, and they all pricked up their ears to listen, and sure enough, they heard a sound in the courtyard, and the next moment they saw a goose's head sticking out of the small hole in the corner.

The goose seemed to look around, and after confirming that there was no one, he squeezed his whole body in, and swaggered to the hen's coop to begin laying eggs.

Everyone in the firewood room saw this scene in their eyes, and they couldn't help but be a little confused.

This goose actually eats and sleeps?

The corners of Guo Mianmian's mouth hooked slightly, she remembered that the time when her grandmother picked up the eggs yesterday was dinner, and it was exactly what she expected!

Aunt Li's face was even more ugly, green and white for a while, directly pushed open the door of the firewood room and picked up the goose's neck and went out of the yard, and did not forget to take back the eggs that the goose had just laid together, and the screams of the goose could be heard from afar.

In the next few days, Aunt Li squinted at her when she saw Guo Mianmian going out, obviously because she had a grudge against her about that day, and Guo Mianmian didn't want to worry about her, so she held a grudge.

……

At dinner in the evening, my grandmother said, "I just said how the chickens lay such big eggs these days, and that's what happened." ”

After coming back from the town, Guo Lihu, who listened to the dispute with the next door in the afternoon, also said: "Fortunately, Mianmian is smart, otherwise if you get involved with that Aunt Li, you really can't get out." ”

Hu Shi couldn't help but be surprised: "We Mianmian have been really sensible a lot lately, and today we went to the river to wash clothes, and the aunts around us praised her!" ”

"Aren't you smart and well-behaved, just scramble this egg for us to eat today." As she spoke, her grandmother took Guo Mianmian into her arms.

When it was time for dinner, there was a big plate on the table, and Hu Shi skillfully beat the eggs and fried them with green peppers into an egg cake. The omelet is oily and garnished with shallots, which not only looks good but also smells fragrant.

Mother Hu said: "This goose egg is really big, three eggs are spread out such a big egg cake, everyone eat it." ”

Grandmother took a large piece of scrambled eggs and put them in Guo Mianmian's bowl, and said, "Mianmian, try it." ”

Guo Mianmian took a bite, and he didn't know if it was the psychological effect or the fact that it was like this, but he felt that the eggs were delicious, and there was no fishy smell.

The Guo family's dinner will be lively, and there is no rule of eating and not sleeping. The four of them sat around the table, talking while eating, and Guo Orion also told him about the house he had inquired about in the town.

"I've been looking at it for a long time, and there are many good houses, but there are fewer that suit us at the right price, and there are only two of them."

"One is in the east of the city, very close to the academy, the people who come and go are students, it is quiet and safe, and the best thing is that there is a well in the courtyard, so you don't have to go outside to carry the water. It's just that the place is a bit small, three rooms, and the yard is not big. ”

"The other one is in the south of the city, surrounded by merchants, and there are no wells in the house, and there are only four rooms. But fortunately, the yard is large, and it is against the corner of the street, and the last householder opened the door on the side wall, and half of the yard is used as a store, which can do some small business, which is more or less an income. ”

After listening to these two houses, the grandmother and the Hu family were a little moved, in the end, the grandmother thought too much.

"This house in the south of the city, if you fetch water, will you go far?"

"Mother, I've inquired. The south of the city is made of walking streets and alleys, and the water is ready-made, and the well is at the mouth of the alley, so walk over and get close. ”

Hu Shi sat on the side, listened to the things they described, and his eyes were a little complicated: "Then is this money enough?" ”

She asked a little worriedly, and at the same time gave Mianmian a vegetable that she didn't like to eat, "Things in the town are not cheap, and you have to save some money to live if you buy a house." ”

Father Guo, who was sitting across the table, heard this and temporarily stopped his chopsticks.

"The house in the east of the city costs twenty taels, and the one in the south of the city is more expensive, thirty-five taels. I bought the wolf skins I had saved before, and I got twenty-five taels, and if I bought the one in the south of the city, I am afraid it would not be enough. ”

There was no sound on the table for a moment.

After a while, my grandmother said: "I have saved eight taels of silver over the years, and I will make up the rest. ”

"Eh, that's a good idea, I'll talk to the Chinese tomorrow, maybe it will work."

Guo Mianmian, who listened to everyone's words, saw that the house in the south of the city was about to be settled, and hurriedly expressed his opinion.

"Grandmother, father, mother, why do you all think that the house in the south of the city is good, but I think the one in the east of the city is good."

"Oh, tell me why you think the house in the east of the city is good."

Hearing her grandmother's words, Guo Mianmian said everything she thought.

"I always wander around the village on weekdays, and when Master Chen was still there, he told the story of Meng's mother's three migrations, which is that children will learn from the people around them. If you are next to the school, you will follow the learning, and you will learn the market gas in the market. ”

Chen Fuzi is the only person in the village to lift, and after the lift, he moved to the provincial capital to study, and his words are still very convincing. After hearing this, the Guo family also began to rethink the choice between the two houses.

Seeing this, Guo Mianmian continued: "Grandpa Tai has said that my younger brother is the reincarnation of Wenquxing, and of course he will take the route of studying in the future. In that case, wouldn't it be cheaper to live next to the academy? ”

"Besides, if you are doing business, there will definitely be people in the family, and my younger brother has just been born, and he is still young, so it is not good to have too many people. There are a lot of people, and there are a lot of flowers, so maybe my brother and I will be taken away. ”

Speaking of patting flowers, the faces of the Guo family changed, and they immediately looked at the house in the south of the city like a snake and scorpion.

Grandmother hurriedly said: "What Mianmian said makes sense. There is a shop, and your mother is still pregnant with it, so what can we do to do business. It's still a house in the east of the city, and the price is right. ”

Father Guo also woke up suddenly and laughed: "Yes, yes, yes, I still think a lot, and I really grew up." Pei Niang went to get me a pot of wine, today is a good day! ”

Hu Shi didn't stop him, but took the wine with a smile, and touched his daughter's head with some sighs: "Mianmian is going to become our family's Zhiduoxing." ”

Guo Mianmian felt the joy of her family, and her nose suddenly felt slightly sour, which she quickly pressed down.

"Mother, you eat too."

She also gave a chopstick dish to Hu's.

……

Early in the morning, the small house next door that had been empty for several years was lively, and Qian Niangzi looked at the door several times, and someone should have moved in when people came and went.

Qian Niangzi secretly thought in her heart: I don't know who took over the house, obviously she saw it first, so she waited for the house to buy it if the price was reduced and get through with herself, so that her son could marry a daughter-in-law.

It's all to blame for Du Yu, who refuses to give him some price in his life, obviously he has been a neighbor for many years, and he refuses to give this convenience, and now he directly sells the house to someone else, and he will have to ask him next time he meets.

Qian Niangzi's husband is a child, and he has not been admitted to the show for more than 20 years, and the family relies on Qian Niangzi to do show work. Mrs. Qian has long since died, relying on her husband to become the grandmother of the official family, and she is devoted to her son. The family's only seedling money is also a good thing, less than 16 years old, he won the children's test, and his husband also said that there is a great possibility of winning the show this year.

Qian Niangzi, who was bent on getting a study for her son alone, had already fallen in love with the house next door, but now when she saw that the house was gone, she was naturally angry: "Okay, you Du Yu, you don't want to cheap me for five taels of silver, I don't know how much money your house has sold now!" ”

Not to mention the red-eyed Qian lady next door, the Guo family is naturally jubilant when they move to the town. It's just that Guo Mianmian was a little surprised in her heart, isn't this house the house that Liu Ci bought when he was studying in the town in his previous life, could it be that he can't avoid the fate of his previous life after all?

Seeing the joyful appearance of her family, Guo Mianmian suppressed the anxiety in her heart and helped sort it out together, what should be swept, what should be bought, what should be changed, what should be done, everything is a thing, everything needs people. There are few Guo families, and the Hu family has a big belly, so they saw Guo Mianmian busy with his legs all over the yard.

The Chinese made a deal, and they were happy, so they also stayed to help.

"Brother, your girl is really good, I haven't watched her stop in the morning."

Looking at his busy daughter, Father Guo sighed in his heart that the child had really grown up, but he still said: "That's so good, it's just that her mother is pregnant again this year to be sensible, and she used to be a little devil who ran around the mountains." ”

"Brother, you are modest, such a well-behaved child is a little devil, then my mud boy doesn't know what it is, hahaha......"

Two men in the hall were greeting, and Guo Mianmian was looking at his new home while cleaning.

The yard is not large, with a well on one side and two bamboos planted on the other. There is no wall at the entrance of the door, but a hall is made where you can eat and entertain guests, and you can only see the wing room when you leave the hall.

Opposite the hall is the main house, with two wings on one side and a kitchen, firewood and latrines on the other. Although the yard is not big, it is paved with green bricks, so it will not get your feet dirty when it rains. The house is also well preserved, and the Chinese often come to clean and maintain it, the roof tiles are good, the well is not broken, and even the three beds left in the room can still be used.

Although the sparrow is small, it has all the organs, and there are four people in the family, counting the younger brother who is going to be born, there are only five people, and the three rooms are also open.

Thinking about the piece of bamboo in the yard, Guo Mianmian went to his grandmother to discuss.

"Grandmother, look at the two bamboos in the yard, let's dig them up. After planting for a long time, the bricks on the side have been warped. It's better to loosen it up and make some space for planting. ”

Grandmother and Hu Shi thought about it and agreed, and when Father Guo sent the Chinese man away, they called him to come over and work.

Thinking that the bamboo could be removed, Guo Mianmian breathed a sigh of relief.

In the previous life, Liu Ci liked bamboo, saying that bamboo has integrity.
