Chapter 24: Planning a Move
Moving away from Ji'an Village is actually a good idea.
It's not cowardice, it's just that I'm really too weak now, women in this era are already difficult, and it's not a society under the rule of law, there is no background backer, if you are a little careless, you will really be eaten and there are no bones left, and you can survive for a long time by temporarily forbearance and dormancy.
"But there is no place to live in Anjia Village!"
An Dafu's family has a total of three rooms, the hall eats and cooks, the left and right wings, their husband and wife sleep in one, and their sons sleep in one, which is already very crowded, and the brothers of the An family have not been able to marry their daughters-in-law, also because their family can't live, even if they want to take Yang Cui's mother and daughter, they can't do it.
"Uncle built three rooms, a smaller area, about how much?"
"You want to build a house?"
"If I move there, I have to have a place to live, so I can sell my house and vegetable plot here and build a new one in Anjia Village."
"That's a good idea." An Dafu looked at Yang Cui's current house, "Your house is so big, plus such a large vegetable field at the back, even if you don't count these furniture items, you can sell it for eleven or twelve taels of silver, and this money is enough for you to go to Anjia Village to rebuild a house and settle down." ”
Wen said: "You still have to marry in the future, you don't need to build three rooms, build two small ones to live in first, one for cooking and eating, one for your mother to sleep, bring the existing furniture here or something, two small adobe houses at most six taels of silver, the rest of the money, buy land, it is better for the croppers to buy land." ”
Marrying, Yang Cui didn't think about it, but to build a house, three rooms must be wanted, two and three are big, three people are squeezed into one room, it's not good, even if there are no conditions, if there are conditions, I must still want to live spacious and comfortable.
"Then trouble my uncle to find a suitable homestead for me in Anjia Village when the time comes."
"Well, that's on me." An Dafu said, "Xiaocui, you said before that you had something serious to talk about, what kind of business?" ”
"Xiaohu, Erya, Sanya, the three of you take your rice bowls, go out to eat, help me control the wind, don't let others eavesdrop."
Yang Cui drove the three little guys outside, on the one hand, she was really afraid that the wall would have ears, and on the other hand, she was afraid that the three of them were young and their mouths were not tight.
"Sentry! I'm doing it! An Xiaohu sandwiched two pieces of meat and ran to the yard with the second and third girls.
Yang Cui lowered her voice and said, "I have negotiated another business today, and I still need two hundred catties of plums, but I am too eye-catching here now, and I will go to your uncle's house to do it when the time comes." ”
"Really?" The An family was immediately overjoyed, this year, these fruits were finally not wasted, the family added input, and there was hope for the matter of building a house.
In the evening, Yang Cui went to tell Zhou Zhuo's again, tomorrow let her little pear and peach pick thirty catties of perilla leaves and wash them, but they would be sent to Anjia Village.
Anjia Village is only about 40 minutes' walk from here, which is already close in this era of inconvenient transportation.
The Zhou family gladly responded.
At night, Yang Cui slept with the two and three girls, telling them the story of Snow White, and the two children were fascinated by it, completely forgetting the pain in their bodies, and forgetting the grievances and sins they suffered during the day.
After the story was told, the two children were still unsatisfied.
"Go to bed obediently, and my mother will tell you a new story tomorrow."
"Mother, the story you tell is so good."
Sanya arched into Yang Cui's arms: "Snow White is so pitiful, my mother thinks I am happier than the princess, because my mother is good, and her mother is as bad as grandma." ”
