Perhaps because of the reverence for the god of the sea, there are no other buildings within a radius of 50 meters from the sea temple.

And the Zhu family is the first family fifty meters away.

Zhu Qing's family only has two siblings, he and Zhu Li, yes, for the Zhu family, Zhu Li is first a family, and then Zhu Si.

I wish the family wants to be closer to their daughter so that they can take care of it.

Therefore, after Zhu Qing started a business, he began to build a new Zhu Mansion in two courtyards. In this way, not only can you keep an eye on the situation of Tanah Lot at any time, but it is also extremely convenient to enter and exit the sea.

Zhu Qing invited Wen Xian and the others to sit at his house first, just in time to meet his father, the village chief of this big village on Sun Island.

At the same time as knowing that Zhu Li was back, Zhu Father and Zhu Mother knew that Zhu Qing must have also returned, and was waiting in the house at this time.

"Daddy, this is the girl Wen I told you before." Zhu Qing strode into the house, and when he saw his father and mother, he began to introduce them to each other, "Miss Wen, they are eleven people, plus a two-month-old child. Miss Wen, this is my father. ”

"Junior, Wen Yun, has seen the village chief and the village chief's wife." Wen Xian took Sheng Li'er and Fang Jiaren to greet the village chief and his wife, "I'm sorry, we may stay on Sun Island for a while, if there is anything presumptuous, please forgive me." ”

Although for Sheng Li'er and Fang Jiaren, it was strange to give gifts to the common people. But they still didn't say anything, just silently followed behind Wen Xian.

Even the queen mother can, what are they still pretentious.

The village chief and his wife seem to be kind people, and they are quite similar to the Zhu Qing brothers and sisters, Wen Xian's first impression of them is very good.

The village chief hurriedly put down the work in his hand and saluted back: "It turned out to be Miss Wen, the girl is polite, if it weren't for the girl who changed the charcoal to give us Sun Island, I don't know how many people will freeze to death this winter." ”

In the end, he is a person who has lived for most of his life, and there is still a trace of wisdom hidden in the gentle eyes of the village chief.

He glanced at Zhu's mother next to him, and Zhu's mother took Wen Xian's hand and said affectionately: "Good boy, what do you say to bother or not, that Death Island is not a place for people." You don't choose so many islands, why did you choose Death Island to settle down. ”

Speaking of this, she also glared at Zhu Qing and said, "You too, the girl's family, why didn't you persuade a few girls to move to Sun Island a few years ago." There are a lot of people here, so it's good to have a care. ”

Wen Xian said with a smile in her eyes: "Madame misunderstood, we insisted on waiting for my brother to pick me up on Death Island." My sister and sister-in-law went out to visit relatives, thinking that it would be faster to take the waterway, but unexpectedly encountered a hurricane on the way and was forced to go to Death Island to take refuge. ”

She paused and continued to explain, "After the hurricane, our ship will break. In desperation, my brother had no choice but to settle us in a cave on the island, and he himself returned in a small boat to carry the rescuers.

No, I was worried that my brother wouldn't be able to find us when he came back, so I stayed on Death Island to wait for my brother. ”

This is the unified rhetoric they used when they were on Death Island, and asking is waiting for someone to answer. As for when people will come, no one can say.

The village chief was surprised: "Oh? Did your brother say when he was coming to pick you up? ”

Wen Xian shook her head and said with a wry smile: "When my brother left, he said that he would come to pick us up in a month, but when he left, he took a small boat and only brought two servants. ”

Mother Zhu glared at the village chief, patted Wen Xian's hand and said gently, "Don't be afraid, child." Live on the island first, and let Uncle Zhu tell the people in the village later. Let them keep an eye on Dead Island when they go out to sea, and let you know if a ship is passing by. ”

It's pitiful, when I go to sea in winter, I still take a small boat. It's a question of whether you can get to your destination, let alone go back the way you came.

In Zhu's mother's heart, Wen Xian's brother is afraid that he will be more auspicious and will not be able to pick them up again. It's a pity that the newborn doll has no father at such a young age.

Not only Zhu's mother thinks so, but even Zhu's father, who is also the village head, thinks so.

Only Zhu Qing, who vaguely guessed the truth, looked at the sky speechlessly, and when he didn't know anything, he performed with them.

This made Wen Xian very satisfied, just think like this, otherwise if they live for a long time, there will be no valid reason.

The village chief looked behind them and asked, "What about the rest of you, are you still on Death Island?" ”

"Daddy, they're on the boat." Zhu Qing stood up and explained, "Miss Wen came over first to find a place to stay, so as not to toss so many people too much." ”

The village chief agreed: "That's right, Qing'er, then you take Miss Wen and them to see our family's old mansion as soon as possible." ”

"The old house is simple, and I invite a few girls to take a look." He turned his head to look at Wen Xian and said, "It's just that there are only four rooms, and I'm afraid you can only squeeze in." ”

"Uncle Zhu is serious, there is a place to stay, we are not very grateful." Wen Xian hurriedly arched her hand.

As for the rent, she can just talk to Zhu Qing later, there is no need to break it up here.

Hearing Wen Xian shouting uncle, the smile in the village chief's eyes deepened: "Go, let Qing'er take you there." ”

Mother Zhu sighed and explained, "My aunt still has to go to Tanah Lot Temple to see Zhu Si, so I won't accompany you." ”

Zhu Li is still sick, and neither of them is at ease. If it weren't for the crowd, they would have wanted to go just now.

Speaking of this, Zhu Qing hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Daddy, Miss Wen is a doctor, and she has already seen it for Zhu Si." Zhu Si has been half better after drinking the medicine yesterday, and it is estimated that he will be fine for two more days. Also, Miss Wen sold me 2,000 catties of charcoal at half price, Dad, you can go to Tanah Lot Temple to share a penny first. ”

The village chief stood up suddenly, glared and said, "You bastard, why didn't you say such an important thing earlier." ”

He hurriedly thanked Wen Xian, and hurried to the Tanah Lot Temple with his mother.

Before Zhu Mu left, she couldn't help but pat Zhu Qing a few times, expressing her hatred for iron and steel.

Wen Xian couldn't help laughing, and said as she walked: "Your charcoal is going to be distributed to the villagers for free?" ”

Two thousand catties of charcoal is not a small amount, the market price of one pound of charcoal is 12 wen, even if it is half price, two thousand catties of charcoal will cost 12,000 wen, which will be converted into 12 taels of silver.

The price of one pound of charcoal can already be worth the price of two pounds of polished rice. With so much charcoal for free, that's really not a small expense.

Zhu Qing shook his head and said, "Of course, it's not for free, but half the cost price for the people in the village." ”

For example, this time he bought it back at half price, and distributed it to each family, which was divided according to half of the half price. Of course, if someone doesn't want it, he doesn't force it, and he can take it all at home.

Sheng Li'er looked at him as if she had been wronged and said, "The speed at which your family makes money can catch up with the speed of leaking money?" ”

Everything was sent out, why didn't he empty his house.
