Chapter 185: The County

There is only one male baby in Chu Ping's family in this generation, he loves to follow Chu Yi when he is a child, this cousin treats him very well, he carried the black pot for him when he was a child, and when he grows up, he calculates for him, and the brother of other people's families is not bad.

Knowing that Chu Yi's family was going to move to the town in the future, as a cousin, Chu Ping felt that he should be the happiest for them, but when he thought that he might not be able to be like this in the future, he thought about going around and out of the yard, and even lying on the wall, he could chat a few words, and he felt a little more reluctant.

"After all, I won't be able to see my cousin and sister-in-law every day in the future, but it's more important to be serious, and I'll go buy an ox cart tomorrow and come back, so I still go to the town every day to deliver paper money to the shop!"

Chu Yi shook his head with a smile, glanced at his cousin and said, "You can't buy pastries when you buy an ox cart, you can buy it if you say you can buy it?" Besides, there are a lot of things to prepare for the business and moving to the town, not to mention half a year, a few months are always required, how can it be so fast."

As the main labor force in farming, although cattle are not a scarce resource in Daqian, they have not reached the point of buying and selling at will, and if you want to buy a healthy one in the prime of life, you will never be able to buy it if you have no luck and patience to wait for a while.

was splashed with cold water by his cousin, Chu Ping joked a little scoundrelly: "I don't care, then my cousin will just leave your ox cart, and then I will drive Xiaoshuang to see you every day."

Shen Luzhu said with a smile: "Cheng, when the time comes, I will directly leave a room for you and Yuanshuang in the courtyard and prepare it for you."

Chu Yi will go to the town every ten years according to the agreement, follow the other party through the streets and alleys, and look everywhere to see the shops he found, but after looking at it for nearly two months, it seems that it will be the Midyear Festival again, but he still can't find a satisfactory place.

There are not many shops being rented in the town, and there are even fewer in good locations, and only a few are built on the main street, and the shops that are being rented are too small in area, not to mention that a family has moved to live, and even the hoarding needs in the shops are not satisfied.

The area is larger and the location is OK, and there is also a yard, there is a boss on the East Street who is cashing out his own tavern, in front of this tavern is a shop equivalent to three main houses side by side, through the restaurant is the stove room, out of the back door of the stove room to the back of the small courtyard, although it is not big, but the main house, the wing room, the toilet and the stove room are all available.

This house facing the street is handed down by the owner's ancestors, and he has been doing the business of the tavern, but the current boss's business ability is really limited, and now the shop can't make ends meet, so he can only think about cashing out the tavern.

Chu Yi was originally quite satisfied, although the layout of the furnishings was a little different from what he originally envisioned, but if there was nothing else that was more in line with his own requirements, it would be good to rent this place and renovate it, but who would have thought that the owner of that tavern had other requirements for the rental of this shop.

If you want to rent a shop, you have to spend money to take over all the furnishings and furniture in the tavern and the staff, not to mention those tables, chairs and benches, the Chu family will not be able to use them at all, even if the business is booming and you need to hire people, there is no reason to take over the landlord's subordinates to continue to use.

But before Chu Yi could express his position, the boss actually refused after learning that Chu Yi was doing paper money trading, saying that he still wanted to find someone who could continue to do tavern business, and he still felt a little unlucky to do paper money trading.

Chu Yi, who was already a little hesitant and was thinking about how to discuss the furniture and staff with the boss, heard that he still wanted to rent, and left the tavern directly with the people who were traveling.

After listening to Chu Yixue's words, Shen Luzhu felt a little funny for a while: "It's no wonder that the owner's ancestral tavern can't go on, such a temperament is really not suitable for trading."

"Fortunately, the shop doesn't particularly meet our requirements, the location is still a little off, the most prosperous shops in the town are concentrated on the two main streets, like this on the branch road, the business is worse."

Chu Yi said, while pushing the cart in front of him back and forth, coaxing the fat son sitting in it to play, just entered July, and now the child is also six months old, and recently he can lean against the wall or quilt and other things, in his father

With the help of A-Niang, she sat and played with all kinds of dolls.

Chu Yi took advantage of the idle days before the Midyear Festival, imitated the wheelchair made for Uncle Chu, and made a trolley for his fat son, the kind with fences on the front and back, left and right, and the six-month-old Xiao Zhengzheng just happened to be able to sit in it steadily, which was convenient for the family to take care of him, and he didn't have to hold this little meat ball sweaty in the hot summer.

Shen Luzhu looked at his fat son who was having a lot of fun on the side, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose: "Chu Yi, why don't we rent it and buy a shop directly?" The money at home should be sufficient. He said to him that whether it is for rent or for sale, you can take us to have a look, so that there should be more choices available."

They have been trading paper money for three or four years, although they never treat their families harshly on food and clothing on weekdays, and their expenses are much larger than those next to the village, but they are nothing compared to what they earn, and now they naturally have saved a lot of money, if they want to buy a shop in the town, it should be more than enough.

Chu Yi had been thinking about this question on the way back: "It's not bad to buy one, although it costs a lot more money to take out at one time, but if you look at it for a long time, it is more cost-effective to buy it. But Azhu, what do you think if we don't go to the town and go directly to the county?"

"Straight to the prefecture?"

Chu Yi nodded, and explained to his wife seriously: "Well, Ah Zhuke still remembers the last Lantern Festival, didn't we go to the county to visit the Lantern Festival together, then the county town is many times more prosperous than the town, and there are more people, if we move the business directly to the county, the business should be good."

"We just wanted to make the business bigger and earn more, so that we could take the whole family to enjoy the happiness, and by the way, we can also broaden the horizons of our younger brothers and sisters, there is really no reason why we must be in the town, if it is only for this, it is naturally better in the county than in the town! It's just that the price of the shops in the county is much more expensive than the ones in the town, and if we buy them, I don't know if we have enough money."

Chu Yi comforted his wife and said: "It's okay, the left and right are not going to be settled immediately, after the Midyear Festival, let's find a time to go around the county, if there is a favorite shop, the money is not enough to rent it first, and it will always be enough to save it slowly."

This year's Midyear Festival, the Chu family's old house is obviously much busier than in previous years, Uncle Chu has to stay in the backyard to take care of the paper ingots workshop, in addition to the still hot paper money trading, the work of the funeral team has always been intermittent, fortunately, Chu Xiuxiu and Chu Li can now be on their own.

Otherwise, you have to take care of the business on both sides, and take care of the children, even if it is divided into two halves for the little couple, I am afraid that it is not busy enough, at this time the cart made by Chu Yi has shown a greater role, hold Zhengzheng and sit in it, and then give him a cloth doll, when the business is busy, even if it is temporarily impossible to take care of the child, there will be no problem.

What's more, there is also a coaxing baby can be a little expert raccoon flower, even if it is a boring game like you and me, a cat and a baby can play for a long time every time, if there is any dangerous behavior, the raccoon flower will also meow people.

The business of the paper money shop is still two days before the Midyear Festival, and after a day of rest, on the day of the Midyear Festival, the little couple took Chu Li and Zhengzheng to the grave of Chu Yi's father and mother to worship.

As usual, it is said that the family has added Ding, and during the Qingming Festival, the little couple should have taken Zhengzheng to the grave to worship, but Zhengzheng was still too young, and the weather was cold, so the little couple really didn't dare to take him out of the house, so they waited until the Midyear Festival, and then took Zhengzheng to worship his grandfather and grandmother for the first time.

On the day of the sacrifice, the little couple was still in the cemetery at the end of the village, and they actually bumped into Uncle Chu's family, who also came to worship the ancestors of the Chu family.

I haven't seen each other for more than half a year, and the life of the little couple is becoming more and more prosperous, and their dress and demeanor all show how moisturizing their lives are today. But Uncle Chu's family is just the opposite, all of them are gray and depressed, especially Grandpa Chu, it is said that he was seriously ill after moving out of the mountain village, and he has only recently eased up, but he is still full of sickness, his cheeks are sunken and sallow, his eyes are cloudy and dull, and he is so thin that even his cheekbones, which were not obvious in the past, seem to be about to be expended.

Wang also appeared

It's a little miserable, I don't know if I had another stroke later, or if the sequelae of the previous one have worsened, and the symptoms of crooked eyes and slanted mouth are becoming more and more obvious, not to mention, I don't know why it seems that even walking seems to be a little difficult.

Uncle Chu's family is still worried about the previous things, especially at this moment, when the two sides are compared, they are even more angry, the men's already serious faces are even more gloomy, and if their eyes can kill, the resentful eyes of Wang and Grandma Chu are afraid that they have already turned into poisonous arrows and shot at Chu Yi.

When the two sides saw each other, they were both subconsciously stunned, no one spoke, or they didn't want to open at all, and after a while, the little two took the lead in reacting, Shen Luzhu held Chu Yi in one hand, as if nothing had happened, and left straight away with Chu Li and Zhengzheng.

When they used to live under one roof in a village, the little couple really had no choice, and when they saw them all kinds of fancy demons every day, and came up with various ways to take advantage of their own family, Shen Luzhu would always be emotionally affected, and he came up with all kinds of methods, even if he lost eight hundred, he would hurt the enemy and take revenge by one thousand.

But now that he saw that family appear in front of him again, even if his face was still hateful, it seemed that as they were forced to move out of the mountain village, the past had disappeared.

At present, Uncle Chu's family has already become inconsequential strangers in the eyes of the young couple, and they can no longer arouse any other emotions.
