Chapter 324: Go to the county seat for a new house
The snack shop is ready to open on the 10th of January, just in time for the year ago, when people buy New Year's goods, everyone has worked hard for a year, and when it comes to the New Year, they will be more generous than usual, the price of this small snack is not high, every household will buy some, Mu Xiu hurriedly prepared the materials these days, and pulled it to the county seat together.
The next day, Chen Xuhui went to study with Uncle Chen early in the morning, and Mu Xiu was at home, directing Mu Xiaoshu and Zhou Shuilian to move the potatoes out, as well as a few sacks of soybeans, corn kernels and some autumn pickled jam and dried fruits, all of which were placed under the eaves first.
"Mother, sister, you pack a few clothes, let's go to the county seat this time, we have to stay for a few days, teach my aunt how to do these snacks, this new store opens, we have to help for a few days, otherwise I'm afraid that my uncle will not be busy, I'll go and marinate the rabbit head first." After Mu Xiu finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the kitchen.
"Xiu is right, let's clean up, the new store can also live there, bring the children with you, and buy some window flowers, firecracker stickers and the like when you're done shopping." When Zhou Shuilian heard that she was going to help Zhou Dujuan, she immediately said anxiously.
"Mother, don't worry, let's just arrive in the afternoon, as long as it's our aunt's business, our mother is more attentive and positive than anyone else." Mu Xiaoshu said with a smile.
"As long as you talk a lot, hurry up and clean up." Zhou Shuilian smiled and patted the wooden tree.
"Brother Chen, catch five more rabbits." After Mu Xiu put the rabbit head on the water, he shouted at the back through the wall.
"Okay, I'll be back in a minute." Chen Xuhui replied from behind the wall.
In this way, after everyone packed up their things, they still left Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen at home to watch the door, and Mu Xiu's family went to the county seat with a large bag.
"Brother Chen, you follow behind me, and I'll lead the way." After entering the county seat. Mu Xiu rode a bicycle and embarked on a road that Chen Xuhui had never walked before.
"Okay." Chen Xuhui drove the ox cart and followed Mu Xiu closely.
I saw Mu Xiu turn around, turn in front of a house, get off the bicycle, park the bicycle, take out the key, and go forward to open the door.
"Xiu, where is this? How do you have the key? Zhou Shuilian asked in surprise.
"Let's talk about it first." Mu Xiu pushed the door open and pushed the bicycle in, and at that time he flattened the gate rail, just enough to lead the ox cart in.
After everyone entered the courtyard, Mu Xiu closed the door, and then said, "Dad, mother, you take down your clothes and put them away first, and we will live here." ”
Mu Xiu pushed open the door of the main hall, pointed to the room on the left and continued: "The room on the left is my father's and mother's, the sister on the right, in the courtyard, this one belongs to Brother Chen, and the other room is mine." ”
"Xiu, what the hell is going on, how am I confused." Mu Shui looked confused.
"This is the house I bought, and when we go to the county seat in the future, we will have our own home." Mu Xiu said with a smile.
"Oh my God, this yard costs a lot of money, Xiu, where did you get the money?" Zhou Shuilian exclaimed.
"Buying a house is such a big thing, you buy it without saying a word." Mu Xiaoshu asked in disbelief.
"When did you buy this? Last time I came, I didn't hear from you. Mu Shui remembered that he had only come to see the snack shop a week ago, and Mu Xiu didn't say anything.
"Last time, I sent mushrooms and fungus to Uncle Sun, and it happened that his old watch house was going to be sold, and it was cheap, nine hundred yuan, so I ordered it directly, and then I handed it over to Uncle Sun to decorate the house, and made some beds and furniture. Mu Xiu pointed to the lime residue in the yard that had not been cleaned up.
"For such a big house, nine hundred yuan is a good deal, but where did you get this money from? Didn't you spend the money that Uncle Chen embezzled last time? Mu Xiaoshu asked suspiciously.
"That, let's go, let's go into the house, it's cold in the yard, don't freeze the child." A gust of wind blew, and Mu Xiu's voice trembled a little when he spoke.
Chen Xuhui untied the ox cart in the courtyard, took the clothes down first, and the rest of the people entered the hall.
"Dad, mother, there is one thing, I still confess." Mu Xiu stretched out his hand, revealing the coin that Uncle Chen had given him.
"This isn't a ..... show, what the hell is going on?" Zhou Shuilian and Mu Shui both recognized the coin.
"Originally, I didn't want you to think too much, so I lied that this coin was sold for a lot of money, but in fact, this coin is only worth a few dozen yuan at most, who can know, my father was able to meet Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen later, and you mistakenly thought that you owed them a lot of money, plus I thought that the two of them were pitiful, so I would be wrong and take them in first." Mu Xiu explained.
"That's... Where did the money come from to buy tractors and those machines? Zhou Shuilian asked.
"It's all Grandpa Lu who paid for me in advance, and said that I would pay him back when I made money in the future." Mu Xiu can only blame everything on Lu Niandong first.
"We owe so much money to others, when will we be able to pay it back!" Zhou Shuilian thought about it and said with a sad face.
"Mother, you don't have to worry, we have these machines now, and we will only make more and more money in the future, and the speed of repayment will be fast." Mu Xiu felt that a few thousand yuan could be earned quickly.
"Mother, we have met a good person, and the Lu family is not short of this little money." Mu Xiaoshu thought about it, because she also knew that the money in the future would be more and more worthless, and it would be the most cost-effective to borrow money to buy things at this time, and in a few years, a house like this in the county town would not be able to be bought for 10,000 yuan.
"Yes, mother, don't worry, let's just work hard and make more money."
"Then what about Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen?" Zhou Shuilian's questions are really one after another.
"I think so, after the New Year, the winter wheat will soon grow, and the rest of the wasteland will be planted with peanuts and sesame, and we don't have enough manpower, just so Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen can cook at home, take a hand, and wait until they are done, see if they want to stay or want to continue to find their nephew, if they stay, our family will not lack these two pairs of chopsticks, and they have also worked, we can all meet a good person like Grandpa Lu, this Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen, can also meet a good person like us." Mu Xiu said with a smile.
"Okay, then do as you say, I think Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen are not bad." Zhou Shuilian nodded.
"Also, in August this year, Brother Chen, I and Brother Li Pan, the three of us will come to the county to study, my sister will definitely come over, and there will be only Daddy and Xiaohua left in the family, Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen are there, and they are also a care." Mu Xiu said all his future plans today.
