265 And so it was decided
Several men came in through the back door with hoes and poles, and they were all vigilant and guarded.
Li Changhui blocked his wife and children behind him, frowning and looking at these people: "We are the owners of this house, who are you?" What are you doing here? ”
"Huh? Master Li? ”
An old man walked out from behind several people, and it happened to be the person who had seen Li Changhui.
Li Changhui also recognized him: "Uncle Yang? ”
Then his gaze fell on the others: "What are you?" ”
Uncle Yang reacted and hurriedly waved his hand at those people: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, this is Master Li, the owner of this house, you go back first." ”
Everyone looked at each other, but they still left temporarily, only one teenager followed Uncle Yang, and the boy was five or six points like Uncle Yang, presumably either a son or a grandson.
Li Changhui also explained to Lin He that this Uncle Yang was still a handyman who worked here when he built a house before.
Not only Uncle Yang, but also many other people, all of whom were found nearby, were hired farmers or tenants from other estates, and these people were busy with the landlord's farmland, and they could find some more work outside when they had time.
Uncle Yang is the one who helps organize and manage the handymen, saving them from going to the city to find handymen, not to mention the delay, but also to specialize in management, which is very troublesome.
It is precisely because of this that although Li Changhui has not been to the town a few times, he still knows Uncle Yang, after all, every time he comes, Uncle Yang will come to report some information to him.
After the others left, Uncle Yang explained embarrassedly: "Master Li, it was all a misunderstanding just now, when it was completed, Foreman Liu explained to us, saying that it would take a while for you to move over, so let's usually help pay attention, so we ...... just now"
So just now when I saw a carriage coming and climbed into the yard from the back of the house, I mistook them for thieves.
Li Changhui shook his head: "It's okay, thank you for worrying, I specially brought the lady and children to see it this time, if nothing else, I will move here before the summer, and everyone will be neighbors in the future." ”
Uncle Yang was a little embarrassed and laughed dryly, Li Changhui saw that he was embarrassed, so he said: "Uncle Yang, you are busy first, I will take the children to take a look, and I will go back in a while." ”
"Hey, okay, let's go out first."
After Uncle Yang left, Lin He asked, "When I came here just now, I saw a lot of Zhuangzi, are there many people around here?" ”
This is related to finding someone to work in the spring ploughing and autumn harvest in the future, and it cannot be sloppy.
"It's a lot, but when it comes to the autumn harvest and spring ploughing, everyone has to be busy with themselves, and they still have to go to the city to find someone to work."
I've been inquiring about this a long time ago, so there's nothing surprising about it.
"The land outside the county is not cheaper than in our town, and the wasteland is not cheap, and it is difficult for farmers and tenants to buy their own land, and most of the tenants and farmers live in the landlord's village."
It is said to be a Zhuangzi, but in fact it is a very simple and simple house, which can barely shelter from the wind and rain, and the food obtained every year is only to try not to starve to death.
To put it nicely, it's not much different from a slave who didn't have a deed of sale.
Moreover, these people have no land, no houses, and even a way to leave this place is not easy to do, and most of them have no roots and no foundation all their lives, and they have died on other people's land.
There are not a few such people.
Lin He sighed in his heart when he heard this, and felt again that fortunately they could make money by themselves, so they didn't have to work so hard.
The family walked around the yard for a while, felt that there was nothing to see, and prepared to go back.
Li Changhui had already decided that after having lunch with everyone, he would go back for the time being.
Although Lin He felt that he was in a hurry, he also knew what Li Changhui meant, since he wanted to move, in order not to affect the harvest of grapes this year, the sooner the better, the sooner the better.
When they went out, it was still the same as before, and when they went out, Li Changhui tied the door bolt from the inside, and then went out directly over the wall.
The family returned to the inn, just in time for lunch, and there were more people eating at noon today, so they simply ordered food to eat in the room.
Lin He felt that he was fine, and refused to drink the medicine, and Li Changhui did not force it.
"Brother Hui, do you really want to go back today? No matter how anxious you are, it's not bad for a day or two, why don't you wait for the day after tomorrow? ”
However, Li Changhui shook his head: "After the Lantern Festival, everything in the city will return to normal, even the patrol officials will be reduced a lot, and some young people will also resume their activities. ”
Tomorrow's Lantern Festival, the county order must attach great importance to it, and in the past few days, no matter day or night, there are a lot more officials patrolling the streets than usual.
Li Changhui said so, and Lin He couldn't persuade him again.
I didn't think much about it before, but I didn't want to go back to Yonghe Town at all, at least for the past two years.
There's one more problem, though.
"If Yu'er Hao'er An'er is studying, do you have to find a new school first?"
Before they came out, they didn't think about going back, so they asked the town academy for a day off to prepare for the seventeenth day of the first lunar month.
As a result, I didn't expect this to come out, so I didn't plan to go back.
"Yes, wait until tomorrow morning, or the day after tomorrow to take a look, don't worry."
Because I didn't expect it to be in such a hurry, I hadn't inquired before, so I could only settle down first and then arrange for admission.
Lin He sighed: "It's a pity that the second uncle and they went to the Guanzhou Mansion, otherwise you can directly ask the second uncle about the situation, which is much more convenient." ”
Last year, he was not in Nanzhi County, presumably he followed the young master Liu, with soybean oil and wine, to Guanzhou Mansion to continue to take root, after all, their second uncle happened to be the chief steward of the Liu family's oil mill.
And now, the person who traded wine with them had long since changed from Young Master Liu himself to another manager of Nanzhi County.
With these two things, not to mention the Guanzhou Mansion, even if it is the capital, it is estimated that it can open the market, as for whether it can gain a firm foothold, that is another matter.
"It's okay, I've been here a lot in the past few years, and I've heard about it, so it's good to inquire more when the time comes."
There are many colleges in Nanzhi County, but some colleges are dedicated to the children of eunuchs and merchants; Of course, there are also colleges that specialize in accepting students from poor backgrounds, and there are even more colleges that only accept students with high academic talent.
Unlike Yonghe Town, there are dozens of colleges in Nanzhi County, large and small, and they can't find one that suits their children.
Eating and discussing things, as before, the three children listened, and from time to time they would ask questions if they didn't understand.
But one thing has never changed.
The things that my father and mother discussed at the dinner table did not avoid them, but they couldn't take them outside and talk nonsense.
The three children have always remembered this, even the youngest Ang Lee, has never made a mistake.
