Chapter 31: A New Neighbor
"Lord Lizheng, you also know the situation of my family, now that his brother and sister have talked about separating the family, my uncle only gave us a one-month deadline to move, but it will take more than half a month to start a house again, not to mention that it is the busy season for farming. Maybe it's going to be repaired in a month or two. See if you can find out if there is a house in the village that anyone wants to sell, or a base that you want to sell. Gu asked in a low voice.
"As I told you just now, there is no residential land left in the west. Or there's another place on the east side by the river, and you're not happy. "Li Zheng was a little impatient with the Gu family's constant inquiries because of the Fang family's handling a few days ago.
"Lord Lizheng, you also know that the big tiger and the little tiger are still young, the east side is by the river, it is not safe, and his brothers are the age when people hate dogs, I am afraid that they will not watch it for a while, so they will go to the river to play, it is good if nothing happens, if something happens, how can I live, Lord Lizheng, please think of a way again."
"Old man, you can help her, they are all mothers, this mood can be understood." Li Zheng's daughter-in-law just accepted a piece of bacon from others, as the saying goes: take other people's soft hands, eat other people's short mouths. Yu Shi helped Gu Shi speak.
"Well, there is a ruined house on the north side, and the house is uninhabitable, but the surrounding land is spacious, and it is the same if you push the house and rebuild it. But ......" Li Zheng finished speaking, and glanced at the Gu clan. The connection said: "But it's very close to Lin Laoer's house, and the two of you have just had a conflict, I'm afraid of ......."
Listening to what Li Zhengyi said, the Gu family remembered that there was an old house not far from Lin Mei's house, and Lin Lao Er thought that the house was too dilapidated and it was too troublesome to tear it down, so he found another place to repair it.
As for Li Zheng's worry, he is afraid that the two families will not get along together and make trouble again. Gu patted his chest and promised, saying that he would have a good relationship with the Lin family and never cause trouble for Lord Lizheng.
Li Zheng quoted the price and asked the Gu family to go back to prepare the silver, and he could go to the yamen tomorrow to go through the transfer procedures.
After Gu Shile saluted Lizheng, he went home and prepared to go.
When he returned home, the people at the wine table had already dispersed, and Fang Laosan followed his eldest brother, drunk on the kang in the third room, and was sleeping.
Ding Jiuzhou was bored and leading the two boys to play in the yard, and when he saw Gu coming back, he asked for the Lin family's address, so he said that he would go to Gu Muqing.
As soon as the two boys heard that the eldest cousin was also coming, they volunteered to take Ding Jiuzhou to play with the eldest cousin.
"Are you two going here?" Ding Jiuzhou followed the two boys for a while, and when he saw that there were only a few families living in the surrounding areas far away from the village in the direction of the back mountain, he asked.
"Well, well, it's this road, just at the entrance to the mountain pass, and you'll get to Lin's house." Dahu was afraid that Ding Jiuzhou would not believe it, and pointed to the front.
Xiaohu trotted all the way forward, turned around and saw where the two brothers stopped, urging loudly.
Gu Muqing saw his cousin and cousin coming to look for him, and left the Lin family a little reluctantly, and glanced at Lin Mei before leaving.
How can these small actions escape the eyes of the officials.
Ding Jiuzhou looked at Gu Muqing's eyes, and saw a beautiful woman, smiling slightly at the two of them, as the so-called "clear water out of hibiscus, natural carving", probably a true portrayal of this woman, Fang Jiuzhou thought in his heart.
Not far from the Lin family, Ding Jiuzhou patted Gu Muqing's shoulder and said, "Good boy, you have a good eye, such a beautiful woman can catch up, when will I invite my brother to drink happy wine." ”
Facing his cousin's jokes, Gu Muqing looked at the big and small tigers who had already run in front, and said with a smile: "Cousin, don't talk nonsense, I have nothing to do with her, and I haven't written these eight words yet." ”
"Yo, this is all chased to someone's house, and there is nothing to do, who are you blind? But the woman is really good-looking, you have to really like it, it's better to ask your uncle to come to the door early to mention your relatives, don't cause gossip, when the time comes, if you annoy the woman's family and don't agree, don't regret it. ”
These words attracted Gu Muqing's attention, and he scratched his head anxiously, and said, "But it's not convenient to propose marriage now, ...... before"
Gu Muqing told Ding Jiuzhou about the origin of the chaos between the Lin family and the Fang family.
After hearing this, Ding Jiuzhou frowned and said, "I can't see that this woman is quite fierce, if the two of you become it, can you stop her?" ”
Gu Muqing disagreed, and said: "Meizi people are usually very good, I have been in contact with her for the past few days, and I have never seen her blush with anyone." ”
This person was chosen by his cousin himself, and what kind of life he lived was also his own business, Zhou Yu beat Huang Gai, one was willing to fight and the other was willing to suffer, and others couldn't interfere. When Ding Jiuzhou heard him say this, he didn't take it to heart.
"This house is finally divided, and I have chosen all the places." The Gu family had nowhere to share the joy of separating the family, and when he saw his nephew coming back with Ding Jiuzhou, he pulled his nephew and said.
"I heard my cousin say about the separation, but I didn't expect my aunt to move so quickly, and the places have been chosen, where did you choose?" Gu Muqing said.
"You can't imagine it, Li Zheng helped choose, not far from Lin Mei's house, there is a dilapidated house, you should have passed by, do you still have an impression?" Gu Shi couldn't wait.
Gu Muqing thought about it for a while, it seemed that there was a dilapidated house on the way to the Lin family, but there were only a few broken walls left in the house, and it was impossible to live in at all.
Then he asked: "There are no people living there, there are only a few remnants of the walls, and the beams of the house have already fallen." ”
"It's easy to do, first build a straw hut around the house, push the original house, and build a new house. Gu Shi said her plan, Fang family, she didn't want to stay for a day.
"It's okay, then I'll tell my dad not to go home first, and help my aunt get the house up and go back."
Who knows, when Ding Jiuzhou heard this, he bumped into Gu Muqing with bad intentions, and smiled like a fox, the meaning is self-evident.
Gu Muqing turned his head inexplicably blushing, ignoring him no longer, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
Because Gu Muqing wanted to stay to help his aunt's family build the house, Gu Fengnian, who wanted to stay, was busy with farming, and the family couldn't do without people, so he rushed back with Ding Jiuzhou overnight.
Gu Muqing waited under the elm money tree not far from the door of Aunt Tian's house as always.
As soon as Lin Mei came out, Gu Muqing saw it, and when he saw that Aunt Tian had closed the door, he stepped forward to say hello.
The two walked tacitly, and Gu Muqing couldn't help but tell Lin Meifang about the separation.
"What, your aunt has taken a fancy to the dilapidated house in front of my house, it can't be inhabited. But it's a good place, and I thought that if the tofu business was good, I would buy it and open a tofu workshop. Your aunt is really lucky, she is the first to get there, if it is a year and a half late, it is estimated that there will be no drama for her. If you have the money, it's good to push that place and rebuild it. Lin Mei felt a little sorry, but she was happy that the Gu family had the courage to separate and live separately.
It seems that Xiao Taozi will also have playmates in the future, and there are two little sisters in the Gu family. Although Lin Mei fought with Zhang Lotus and was considered to have a feud with the Fang family, but at that time, the third child of the Fang family not only did not help Zhang Hehua, but even the Gu family spoke for her, which shows that the Gu family is sensible and kind, and he is a new neighbor who can be befriended.
