Chapter 172: Buying a House
Coming back from the garden, Chun Niang was stunned for a while.
At this time, the children had already gone to school, and she was the only one left in the family.
Chun Niang went to see the peonies and moon seasons planted by the little girl, as well as Mu Dan.
These flowers and trees not only grow luxuriantly, but they are also bone-flowered.
Originally, she didn't care much about the growth of flowers and trees, but today she occasionally saw other people's flower seedlings, which were also planted this spring, and only grew as long as chopsticks.
Looking at these again, I have to sigh that it is amazing.
"Chunniang, what are you doing?"
Zhou came in from outside the courtyard and saw the three brothers and sisters squatting in front of the flower garden in a daze, so he asked.
Chun Niang stood up and said with a smile: "I didn't do anything, I just smelled the fragrance of Mu Dan." ”
Zhou also came over and smelled it, and the fragrance was fragrant. "Yo, this Mu Dan is really fragrant, the more I smell it, the more I want to smell it."
Chunniang smiled, picked a few flowers from the mudan branch and handed them to her sister-in-law: "Take it and sew a sachet." ”
Originally, it was only available in the Five Poison Moons, but since it is blooming now, it is just right to make a few sachets for the children to wear.
Zhou didn't refuse, and took a bouquet of flowers. "Chunniang, I want to get you an idea today."
Chunniang: "What's the matter?" ”
"It's not our family's success yet." Zhou sat down under the grape trellis in the yard, "Yun Niang helped Dacheng to see a girl in the county, and said that he would go to see each other tomorrow, but Dacheng refused to go." ”
Chunniang: "Why don't you go?" ”
"Who knows." Zhou's brain hurt by the eldest son's family affairs, "He only said that he didn't want to get married for the time being, so let's not worry about it, alas, can I not worry about it?" He is seventeen years old this year, and Erquan is also fifteen years old, and he sees that Erquan is also going to look at each other, but his eldest brother has not yet landed, where can he pass the eldest brother to give his younger brother a first decision. ”
Zhou was anxious to shed tears, "His father doesn't care about everything, he just says that it is fate, Chunniang, you can talk about it, can this matter be fate?" ”
Chun Niang is also at a loss.
This eldest nephew has been harmed by the daughter of the Chu family once, and he has avoided all the girls like snakes and scorpions, not to mention letting him go and see each other, but the adults casually mentioned that whose girl is good, he just pulled his legs and left, and the nine cows couldn't pull it back.
Zhou continued: "Dacheng obeys his third uncle's words, I want to ask you to talk to his third uncle, let him persuade Dacheng, how can the girls in the world be as unreasonable as the Chu family, don't be afraid of the well rope if you are bitten by a snake for ten years." ”
"That's okay, I'll tell him when Saburo comes back in the evening."
Chunniang comforted: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, Dacheng is only seventeen, and there are still twenty people in our village to say goodbye." "Like Chen Zhu, the youngest son of the patriarch's family, he became a relative at the age of twenty.
The two talked for a while, and Zhou left with a handful of Mu Dan flowers.
When Jiang Saburo came back in the evening, he heard his wife mention Dacheng's matter, and said indifferently: "Dacheng doesn't want to look at him and follow him, presumably he hasn't met a good match, so this matter is not in a hurry." ”
Chunniang said angrily: "Although I am not in a hurry, but the eldest sister brought a letter over, and she gave one of the photos, saying that she would go to see each other tomorrow, this is going to miss the appointment, I am afraid that the eldest sister will not be able to explain it." ”
Jiang Sanlang: "If you miss the appointment, you will miss the contract, what is there not to explain?" With such a long journey, who can guarantee that you will have to be there tomorrow? ”
The eldest sister Yunniang is really, she doesn't do things with her brains, she just sent a letter and said that she would let Dacheng go to the county seat to see each other, and she didn't even say what the other party was doing at home, so it's no wonder that Dacheng refused to go.
Chun Niang saw that she couldn't persuade her husband, so she gave up, brought him a basin of water to wash his face, and asked casually: "What are you doing when Chen Changsheng in Xicun calls you today?" ”
"It's not about planting golden fungus, many people in their village want to plant it, and they want to buy mushrooms from me." Jiang Saburo picked up a towel to wash his face, poured the water from the basin into the footbath after washing his face, and began to take off his shoes and wash his feet.
Chunniang handed him a footcloth, "You agreed?" ”
Jiang Saburo shook his head: "I want to agree, but there is no fungus." ”
Their own are high-quality golden fungus, and they will not be sold to others anyway.
At the end of February, Steward Zhou came to take away the Jiang family's fine golden fungus, but he never asked a word about the golden fungus in the hands of other villagers, and probably didn't care much about those ordinary golden fungus.
Before leaving, Steward Zhou also told Jiang Sanlang that there were a lot of empty houses to sell in the county, and if you were interested, you should buy them quickly, and you won't be able to buy them if it's too late.
Jiang Saburo thought about it seriously, but because he was too busy, he forgot about it.
Later, when I thought about it, it had been a month, and I was afraid it would be a little late to buy it myself.
But the little girl urged him to go to the county seat to take a look, saying that if Xiaojie and Huzi wanted to take the scientific examination, they must go to the county seat to study, otherwise it would not be easy to be admitted.
Jiang Saburo wiped his feet and went out to pour water in clogs.
Then he went to the house of the two sons, and when he saw that they were asleep, he turned and came back, and looked at the daughter's house, and put out the lights and rested.
I went back to the house and lay down on the kang, thought about it, and said to my wife: "Chunniang, let's go to the county seat to buy a house." ”
Chun Niang's eyes lit up: "Are you serious? ”
There are more than 300 taels of silver at home, and I originally wanted to buy some paddy fields, but the little girl disagreed, saying that in the future, there will be a big flood, and those fields will be worthless.
Chunniang and her husband have always been obedient to the words of the little girl, so they didn't buy it.
But with so much cash stored at home, she has always been unsteady in her heart, for fear that another gang of thieves will suddenly come and rob all the money.
"Nature is true." Jiang Sanlang pillowed his hands and said leisurely: "Let's buy a house in the county seat, and we don't need to live in an inn in the future, and Xiaojie and Yuanbao go to the county seat to study, and I am afraid it will be inconvenient to take care of them without a house." ”
Chun Niang asked expectantly, "Then when are you going to buy it?" ”
"The day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, I will go to the town to hire a car to go to the county seat, and if it goes well, I will buy another carriage and bring it back." It's really inconvenient to have no car at home, and it's all measured by a pair of feet to catch a set of relatives, but adults are nothing, but children can't bear it.
Moreover, mules and horses can also plough the fields, and he also wants to reclaim the wasteland on the other side of the fruit forest, which saves a lot of time and effort with mules and horses.
"It's time to buy a car at home." Chunniang suddenly remembered her sister-in-law's words and asked, "Then will you take Dacheng with you?" Auntie has to go and talk about it. ”
Jiang Saburo: "It's up to him whether he goes or not." I'll talk about it over there, big sister. ”
The sister-in-law is really, but she is afraid that her son will not find her daughter-in-law.
Don't talk about it, just with Dacheng's dignified appearance, you have to have a figure, you have to have a character, where can you lack a daughter-in-law, maybe in the future, like his second uncle, you can find a good daughter-in-law to take home.
"Okay." When Chun Niang saw that her husband promised to come out, she was relieved.
Ming'er told her sister-in-law that she had responded to her request.
Early the next morning, Chun Niang got up to check the hatching of the chicks.
I saw a lot of fluffy chicks under the wings of the three hens.
Chunniang hurriedly picked them up into a large basket with broken grass and covered them with a small quilt.
There are still a few eggs under the hen's belly that have not come out of the shell, but have been pecked into a small hole.
Chun Niang directly peeled off the eggshell little by little, took out the wet chick inside, and stuffed it back into the hen's belly to cover it.
