Chapter 52: To the county

Looking at the busy villagers, the chief felt that Old Man Xiang would live at this time, and there was still a son in the county who could run away, so there was no need to trouble them, and he looked at his house, and his heart was also lively.

Besides, the old man Xiang came to the new house with joy, and Ping An has lived in since the furniture was ready, which is to see the house.

Hearing the sound outside, I knew that my father was back, and happily opened the gate, and sure enough, the little bison "moo", said hello to Ping'an, and pulled the ox cart to the yard.

Grandma Xiang and the others came to this house for the first time, under the light of the oil liangzi, they looked at the hazy but neat house, and they didn't believe it for a while, and a few children ran around with joy.

The little bison was also very excited, but it was framed by the ox cart, and did not dare to move at will, and finally under the leadership of Jixiang, he came to its cowshed, which was made by Jixiang for a day.

The cowshed is not only sturdy, but also installed two doors made of straw curtains, as long as the straw curtain door is closed, the bison do not need to blow cold wind, and the ground next to the cowshed is full of feed.

Jixiang arranged good food and drink for the bison, closed the straw curtain door, and came to the hall, where the whole family happily discussed the distribution of housing.

The house has been allocated, Fugui and his three children live on the west side of the backyard, a row of four rooms, one for each of the three children, and one for Fugui and Fugui's sister-in-law.

On the east side, there are old man Xiang and Grandma Xiang, and Fu Bao has two open houses, little girl, and all the clothes and furniture will be complete in the future.

The remaining one is made into a warehouse, where white rice and white noodles, all kinds of meat, etc., can be put here, which is safe and does not show wealth.

The east and west courtyards of the outer courtyard, the west courtyard gave Ping'an, and there were also four rooms, in addition to Ping'an and his wife, the three children were also one person.

The east courtyard was assigned to Ji Xiang, Ji Xiang looked at the east courtyard, and couldn't help but be under great pressure, occupying four rooms by himself, could it be that his father and mother hinted that he was going to have three children.

Time slipped away quickly, and Fu Bao was already asleep, but Fugui and Fugui's sister-in-law were not at ease to put Fu Bao alone in such a big room, what if the girl was scared at night, what to do if she was hungry, what to do if she urinated.

There are a lot of reasons to make Grandma Xiang smile from ear to ear, in fact, she is not at ease to let Fubao sleep in a room alone, since they are rich and noble, they don't want to, so let's sleep with Fubao.

Several children looked at each other, and they unanimously decided that the six of them would still sleep on the same kang, on the one hand, they could save firewood, and on the other hand, they were still young, so they could get along more together.

Old Man Xiang looked at them with a smile, and was not in a hurry to urge them to sleep, although it was not early, but when he was excited, it was estimated that it would be difficult to fall asleep.

Ping'an brought his daughter-in-law to the kitchen, since he couldn't sleep, he cooked some noodles for everyone to make supper, which was also a celebration of their entry into the new house.

The kitchen here is much larger than the kitchen of the old house, and whether it is a spatula or rice, flour, oil and grain, Ping An is very well prepared.

"Ping'an, why did you buy so many things?" Sister-in-law asked.

"Dad gave me three hundred taels of silver, how many things do you say you can buy." Ping An replied with a smile, I can finally sleep with my daughter-in-law tonight, it's beautiful to think about.

"I gave my brother a tael of silver, and that's the silver you gave me." The sister-in-law whispered.

"How is your mother's house now?" Ping An asked.

"Hey, the grain is out of food, my father gave 20 catties of wild rice, 100 catties of sorghum and corn, and some wild goods from the mountains, which should be enough for them to spend the New Year." The sister-in-law said gratefully.

"After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, when you go back to your parents' house, I will buy some rice and noodles and send them over, and you can secretly give your father and mother some silver, just in case." Ping An said with a smile.

"Do you still have silver?" The sister-in-law asked strangely.

"Yes, after selling ginseng, my father gave me and Fugui fifty taels of silver each, auspicious don't, he said he would ask for it when he got married." Ping An said.

"Daddy is so nice." The sister-in-law said with a smile.

The same scene also appeared in the rich room, but there was an extra Fu Bao in their room, Fu Bao woke up as soon as he lay on the kang, and he was not used to the environment here, and the aura here was much weaker than the old house.

But the conversation between her parents also aroused her interest, it turned out that her father had done bad things without telling her grandfather, and he secretly gave her mother's eldest brother five taels of silver.

"What, how can you give my eldest brother five taels of silver, my father-in-law has said many times, wealth must not be exposed, why don't you have such a long memory." The rich sister-in-law was furious.

When the rich family came to propose, his father and mother were willing, but the eldest brother and sister-in-law openly and secretly asked Fugui for silver, but Fugui was poor at that time, where was the extra silver for them.

Dad was sick because of this, but fortunately, in the end, the eldest brother and sister-in-law felt that the rich family gave the most bride price, so they reluctantly agreed to marry their parents.

Moreover, the sister-in-law also greedily inked her dowry, so she gave two thin quilts, and as for the silver at the bottom of the box, there was not a single copper plate.

"Daughter-in-law, didn't my father give us fifty taels of silver, and I saw that your father was lying on the bed and couldn't get up, the quilt ......

It was mainly because I saw that your father and your mother, whose cotton clothes were torn, that I couldn't help but touch out the silver. Fugui also regretted it.

"Even if you want to give it, it's for my father, and you shouldn't put silver on you." Sister-in-law said viciously.

"Yes, yes, didn't my father give you all the silver he gave me, but you still gave me the five taels of silver." Fugui knew that he had passed the test, and as long as his daughter-in-law put on a vicious appearance, she was basically safe.

Fu Bao closed her eyes, but she already knew in her heart that her mother's eldest brother and sister-in-law were not good things, and she took her mother's bride price silver, but she didn't even give her the dowry money, and she couldn't be good to them in the future.

After a night of silence, the whole yard was bustling with activity early the next morning, and the children found that there was a well in the backyard, which meant that they did not have to go to the river to fetch water.

There was already smoke in the kitchen, and several people hurriedly went to wash, especially Xiangqian and Xiangchu, the two learned a lot of etiquette from Mr. Xiang, so they tidied up their clothes in a hurry before leaving the house.

After breakfast, the old man Xiang chose a sunny room and let Xiangchu and Xiangqian read and write in it, while he took wealth and auspiciousness and went to the village with an ox cart.

The village has become a mess, the villagers whose houses have not collapsed are cleaning the roofs of their houses, and the villagers whose houses have collapsed are picking up useful things.

And on the ruins of Mr. Xiang's house, there were also people pulling and pulling, and when I looked closely, it turned out to be the dog daddy next door and Xiangyang of the village chief's house, and the two of them put the things they pulled out into the back basket on the side.
