013 Buying a house and land
When the carriage arrived in Taoyuan Town, it was already half an afternoon, and Huzi's uncle's family came to a small restaurant in the town, which was actually opened by Huzi's cousin, and Huzi's uncle's house was originally in a small mountain village under Taoyuan Town. After Huzi's cousin's restaurant stabilized, he took the second elder over to enjoy the blessings.
Along the way, Tang Anqing said to Huzi, saying that the man pretended to be Puyu's father, but he still asked Huzi not to tell others the news of the man's injury, and there was still some dodging in his words and he didn't say it very clearly, Huzi also seemed to be ignorant and nodded, and patted his chest and said that he would definitely not tell others.
Taoyuan Town is not as prosperous as Jizhou City, but it doesn't look small. When they arrived, Huzi drove them to his uncle's diner, and drove the carriage to the back of the restaurant, where the man and Puyu were still in the carriage, and Puyu was still sleeping, and the man still had his eyes closed. Tang Anqing asked Baozi to look at Puyu first, she had something to do.
Because it is not yet a meal, there are basically no customers in the small restaurant. At first, they didn't see Huzi's uncle, but Huzi's aunt. His aunt looked like she was in her fifties, she was a very kind old man, and when she saw Huzi coming, she took his hand and asked questions, and when she saw Tang Anqing, she smiled more enthusiastically, and later Tang Anqing knew that she was Huzi's fiancΓ©e Xiaochun.
Tang Anqing still likes this chubby old man very much, very straightforward. Hearing Tang Anqing say that he wanted to buy a house here to support the sick, the old man was a little embarrassed to say that when they moved to Taoyuan Town, they didn't sell the old house at the beginning, and asked Tang Anqing if he was willing to buy it. He also said that the house was built the year before last, but his son took over the old couple last year.
Tang Anqing could see that although the old man was complaining about his son, the pride between his eyebrows was almost overflowing. Tang Anqing also felt that it was appropriate when he heard it, the small mountain village was only more than ten miles away from the town, and the old man's description of the beautiful mountains and rivers there, and the population was not very large, Tang Anqing immediately made a decision and said that he wanted to buy it, but he had to go and see the house first. The old man also vaguely heard what Tang Anqing meant, the man was sick, and the doctor said that he was looking for a quiet place to recuperate, so he came here. It happened that Huzi's cousin also came back, so Huzi's cousin took Tang Anqing to see the house, and Tang Anqing smiled and said that he wanted to trouble the old man to take a look at her son and husband. Then I took Huzi's cousin's carriage to the mountain village called Liujiagou, because the people there were all surnamed Liu.
Huzi's cousin is really a quiet person, basically Tang Anqing is asking questions along the way, he will only answer uh-oh and something like that, Tang Anqing is slightly deflated, Huzi's aunt is an enthusiastic person Huzi is also a person of many words, why is his cousin such a silent person.
Before walking to the mountain village, there was a large group of children running happily around the carriage at the head of the village, Tang Anqing looked at the environment here, it was really good, there was a small river at the head of the village that was not narrow, and from a distance, there were hills on both sides, lush. She also saw a group of women washing clothes by the river, and when she saw a car coming, they seemed to stand up and look this way, and it seemed that there were few guests here, so it was better.
Huzi's cousin's home was at the easternmost end of the village, where the carriage stopped. Tang Anqing jumped down from the carriage and squinted at the house in front of him, it was a courtyard, but the courtyard enclosed by a fence, the house looked new, but because no one had tidied it up for a long time, the yard was full of weeds, Tang Anqing didn't care about these, the house had a small kitchen in addition to the main house, and a place that was said to be a sheepfold, of course there were no sheep in it. There is also a green jujube tree in the yard, but now there are only a few red dates hanging on the top, and a few persimmon trees. However, Huzi's cousin said that there is a piece of land behind the yard that also belongs to their family, and they usually grow some vegetables.
After going around the courtyard, Tang Anqing nodded with satisfaction, and the village chief came at this time. I don't know what Huzi's cousin said to him, the village chief looked very happy, and looked at Tang Anqing from time to time, and after a while they talked about it, Huzi's cousin came over and asked Tang Anqing what he thought? Tang Anqing said it was not bad, and she decided to buy it.
Huzi's cousin nodded, said hello to the village chief, and was about to go to the town. After walking for a while, Tang Anqing looked back at this small mountain village, and a knowing smile crossed the corner of his mouth.
When they were gone, the women who had been washing clothes by the river came back one by one with the laundry tub.
"Uncle Guang, didn't you just come back? What did he do when he came back? A chubby woman asked the village chief, who walked ahead of the other women with a large laundry tub in her free hand, and a tomato that came from nowhere.
Uncle Guang, the village chief, squatted under the willow tree on the side, knocked his pipe on a stone, and looked at the direction in which the carriage disappeared, "Shunzi came back to lead people to look at the house, and the one who came with him was the buyer, and we may have more people in Liujiagou." β
A group of women listened to these words and discussed with each other, but also felt strange, in recent years, the men in the village have gone to the city to help in the slack time, and many people have moved away from this Liujiagou, and now suddenly someone wants to move to their village to live, but the village chief did not want to say anything else, looked at the sun, the big guy said a few words and dispersed back to their respective homes. The chubby woman who had just started to speak bypassed the yard of Junko's house, picked a few green onions and a few cucumbers in the back, put them in the laundry, and went home......
Taoyuan Town
On the way back, neither of them spoke, and Tang Anqing was pondering how much such a house would cost? And Shunzi just drove silently, and after about half an hour, they returned to the small restaurant, and Shunzi went to the back to tie the horse, and Tang Anqing went to the front first.
Puyu has woken up, his aunt is looking at him with starry eyes on the side, there are a lot of peanuts and some pastries on the table in front of Puyu, seeing Tang Anqing, the child ran over with little short legs, bullying Tang Anqing's calves and not letting go, and the red little mouth pouted, "Mother... Bad..."
Tang Anqing picked him up, "Good girl, mother is not back." We're going to live in a big house, Yu'er. Carrying Puyu in, sit down, "Auntie, thank you." I looked at the house and I liked it very much, how much does it cost to see it? β
Aunt Liu waved her hand and handed Tang Anqing a bowl of water, "It's okay, it's okay, I knew you would like our house, but I'm not sure about it, when my old man comes back, I'll discuss it with you." But I don't think you can go there today, so you will stay at my house for one night, and tomorrow you will go and tidy up first. Anyway, Huzi won't go today, so let him help tomorrow. That's it, I'm going to cook, old woman. Before Tang Anqing could react, Aunt Liu had already taken Tang Anqing to the guest room after finishing the bala and went out. Leaving Tang Anqing messy in the wind......
Baozi climbed onto the table and touched Tang Anqing, who was about to weather, with his fingers, "Qingqing, the man in that carriage is so powerful, I almost froze to death after staying there for a while..."
Man! Tang Anqing held her forehead, how could she forget him! I don't know why Tang Anqing has such an intuition, even if that man can move, he won't go, shrugged his shoulders, probably this is a woman's sixth sense. Pick up Puyu and go to the backyard, and the bun farts follow behind.
When he was on the road, Tang Anqing took a lot of effort to change the bloody clothes for the man, and threw the bloody clothes into the space, it is estimated that Puyu cried when she woke up, and Aunt Liu took Puyu out. Now Tang Anqing put Puyu aside, climbed into the carriage by himself, and was almost frightened, looking at you with such a pair of cold eyes in the somewhat dim carriage, he couldn't calm down. "I said, don't be so alert, okay? We're going to have to spend the night here tonight, can you see if you can move? Shall I help you down? β
Silent and silent, Tang Anqing just looked at him like this, and after a long while, the man slowly sat up, Tang Anqing retreated first, let the man slowly exit the carriage, Tang Anqing helped him get out of the carriage, "Be careful, don't touch the wound." I'll think I'll go grab some medicine later. Yu'er, follow the mother. Buns look at the dots. β
Holding the man's arm, his arm felt very powerful when he held it, Tang Anqing calmly ignored the man's tense when he touched his arm, Puyu looked at the man curiously, blinked his eyes, and dragged the hem of Tang Anqing's shirt forward. The men's arms were tense all the way, but they walked very slowly, so slow that the buns who followed behind were speechless and looked at the sky...
Finally walked to the guest room, Tang Anqing helped the man lie on the bed, "Lie down first, uncle." I'll bring dinner when it's time for dinner. β
After Tang Anqing finished speaking, he picked up Puyu and went out, closing the door.
The man was lying on the bed, looking at the ornaments on the bed with his eyes open, he had met all kinds of people in his life, he had never met such a woman, he had many opportunities to get away along the way, even if he was still injured. However, the woman's words hit him, "You will be mine in the future", "I am the father of my child", "Give you a new identity", but there is still the temperature of that woman on his arm, which makes him greedy for a moment, it turns out that he will also covet the temperature of other people... Close your eyes......
In the evening, Huzi returned with his uncle. Huzi's uncle was as silent as Huko's cousin, with gray hair and a pipe. Hearing that Tang Anqing was going to buy their house, the uncle lit his pipe and was silent for a long time, so long that Tang Anqing thought that he would not sell it, and the old man said, "Fifty taels." β
Tang Anqing breathed a sigh in his heart, he had a general understanding of this silver money in the past two days, and buying a courtyard like that for fifty taels was simply worth the price. Nodding his head in agreement, by the way, he asked the old man if he knew if there was any land in Liujiagou that could be bought, and Aunt Liu glanced at Father Liu and said that their family originally had a few acres of paddy fields, all of which were good. Originally, it was rented to the Erniu family in their village, but after the harvest this autumn, the originally agreed lease period arrived, and I don't know if Tang Anqing is willing to buy it.
Tang Anqing asked how many acres there were, and said it was three and a half acres. Tang Anqing smiled and said to Aunt Liu: "Auntie's words like this are better, you and the uncle will sum it up." I asked for this house with Tian, so it's easy to go through the formalities, isn't it? But what are we going to do if we settle in the village? β
Aunt Liu is also pleased that Tang Anqing is so refreshing, the old man has not been able to let go of the house and those acres of land in the village since he moved to this town, so he ran to the village, and he didn't look at how old the people were, and now someone can buy it to calm the old man's heart. But Tang Anqing also really likes it, and it's not easy to take children and sick men. Therefore, if it can be cheaper, you can't ask for more money. Hearing Tang Anqing ask how to settle the household registration, he enthusiastically introduced: "Girl, you want to settle the household registration, and get the government office to let the county handle it, but it's not very troublesome......" and then said a lot, almost stunned Tang Anqing, isn't this very troublesome?
Daddy Liu knocked on his pipe on the table, "Just let the village elder Guang lead her to do it, what are you talking about?" β
The old lady was upset and muttered, "Didn't I let my daughter hear better?" I'm rambling somewhere. Okay, girl, I'll let Shunzi pick up Lao Guang tomorrow, it's late today, you see that the children are sleepy, hurry up and pack up and sleep. β
Tang Anqing looked at Puyu, who was dozing in his arms, and went back to the guest room after saying a word, Baozi followed behind and wagged his tail.
The old lady sat on the chair next to her and looked at the old man, knowing that he was still a little blocked in his heart, "I said old man, don't be upset, you don't look at how old you are, and you're not a young man, the house and the land are sold, so it's not to save snacks and enjoy the blessings, you are just a labor disease." Don't smoke, hurry up and wash and sleep, and go through the formalities for your daughter tomorrow. And let's collect less money from that girl, I don't think it's easy for that girl to ......."
Daddy Liu took a few puffs, extinguished his pipe with a frown, and listened to his wife's words, but didn't say anything. The old lady knew that he knew what he knew, so she didn't nag him anymore, and the two of them washed and slept.

Tang Anqing put the sleeping Puyu into the bed, fed the man some lean porridge, and after cleaning up, he sat on the chair next to him alone, but he didn't expect that it had not been a few days, and he was a person with a house and a field, and he could be regarded as a petty bourgeoisie. Her requirements are not high, and it is enough to raise the child safely. Baozi lay on her lap, squinting her eyes and enjoying Tang Anqing's smooth hair from time to time, and her heart was warm.
Early the next morning, Shunzi went to the village to pick up the village chief at the urging of the old lady, and in the morning the village chief took the household registration very smoothly, and also bought some flour and rice and two catties of pork by the way, and packed up their things in the middle of the morning, and sent them to Liujiagou in a carriage driven by Huzi and Shunzi.
Tang Anqing looked at Liu Jiagou who was getting closer and closer, and her mood became more and more soaring, this is where she will settle down in the future!
