Chapter 172： buy a house

Coming back from the garden, Chun Niang was in a daze for a long time.

At this time, the children had all gone to school, and she was the only one left at home.

Chun Niang went to see the peonies, roses, and wood dandelions planted by her little girl.

These flowers and trees are not only growing luxuriantly, but they are also blooming.

At first, she didn’t pay much attention to the growth of flowers and trees, but today she occasionally saw other people’s flower seedlings, which were also planted just this spring and only grew to the length of chopsticks.

Looking at these things in my home, I have to sigh that they are amazing.

“Chun Niang, what are you doing?”

Mr. Zhou came in from the yard and saw her three younger siblings squatting in front of the flower garden in a daze, so she asked.

Chunniang stood up and said with a smile: "I didn't do anything, I just smelled the fragrance of the wood pill."

Mr. Zhou also came over and smelled it, and the fragrance was fragrant. "Hey, this wood pill is so fragrant. The more I smell it, the more I want to smell it."

Chunniang smiled, picked a few flowers from the dandelion branches and handed them to her sister-in-law: "Take them and sew them into a sachet."

The wooddan flower sachets were originally only available during the Five Poison Months. Now that they are blooming, I can use them to make several sachets for the children to wear.

Zhou did not refuse and accepted the bouquet of flowers. "Chun Niang, I want to ask you for an idea today."

Chunniang: “What’s the matter?”

"It's not our Dacheng family yet." Mrs. Zhou sat down under the grape trellis in the yard, "Yunniang helped Dacheng fall in love with a girl in the county town and agreed to go see her tomorrow, but Dacheng refused to go. "

Chunniang: “Why don’t you go?”

"Who knows." Mrs. Zhou was troubled by her eldest son's marriage. "He only said that he didn't want to get married for the time being, so let's not worry about it. Oh, can I not worry about it? He is seventeen this year, two Quan is also fifteen, and it seems that Quan and Quan are about to meet each other, but his eldest brother has not yet been found, so how can he decide for his younger brother first? "

Zhou was so anxious that she wanted to shed tears, "His father doesn't care about anything, he just wants to let it happen. Mrs. Chun, tell me, can you just let it happen?"

Chunniang was also at a loss.

Since this eldest nephew was harmed by the Chu family girl once, he avoids all girls like a snake and a scorpion. Let alone let him go to see each other, if the adults casually mention which girl is good, he will leave. Nine-headed cow Can't pull it back.

Zhou continued: "Dacheng obeys his third uncle's advice. I want you to talk to his third uncle and let him advise Dacheng. There are no girls in the world who are as ignorant as that one from the Chu family. Don't be fooled." I’ll be afraid of the well rope if I bite it for ten years.”

“Okay, I’ll tell Sanlang when he comes back in the evening.”

Chunniang comforted her: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, we are only seventeen years old. We still have twenty people in our village to get married." For example, Chen Zhu, the youngest son of the patriarch's family, only got married when he was twenty years old.

The two talked for a while, and then Zhou left with a handful of rosewood flowers in her pocket.

Jiang Sanlang came back in the evening and heard his wife mention the matter of Dacheng. He said indifferently: "Dacheng doesn't want to see each other and let him do whatever he wants. He must have not met a good match. This matter cannot be rushed."

Chun Niang said angrily, "Although I said I'm not in a hurry, my eldest sister brought me a letter. She told me that I would go to see him tomorrow. I'm afraid I'm going to break the promise. I'm afraid it won't be easy for my eldest sister to explain."

Jiang Sanlang: "If you break the promise, you will break the promise. What should I not tell you? With such a long journey, who can guarantee that I will be there tomorrow?"

The eldest sister Yun Niang is really not smart about things. She casually sent a letter and asked Dacheng to go to the county town to visit her. She didn’t even tell her what she was doing at home. No wonder Dacheng refused to go.

Seeing that she couldn't persuade her husband, Chun Niang gave up, fetched him a basin of water to wash his face, and asked casually: "Why did Chen Changsheng of the West Village call you to do something today?"

"It's not just about growing golden ear. Many families in their village want to grow it and want to buy strains from me." Jiang Sanlang picked up a towel and washed his face. After washing his face, he poured the water from the basin into the footbath and began to take off his shoes and wash them. foot.

Chun Niang handed him a footcloth, "You agreed?" Jiang Sanlang shook his head: "I would like to agree, but I don't have any germs."

Our own products are all high-quality golden ears, and we will not sell them to others under any circumstances.

At the end of February, Manager Zhou came to collect all the fine gold ears from the Jiang family, but he never asked about the gold ears in other villagers' hands. He probably didn't care much about the ordinary gold ears and snow ears.

Before leaving, Manager Zhou also told Jiang Sanlang that there were many empty houses for sale in the county. If you are interested, you should buy them quickly. If you are late, you will not be able to buy them.

Jiang Sanlang seriously considered it once, but because he was too busy with things, he forgot about it.

Later I thought about it, a month had passed, and I was afraid it would be too late to buy it myself.

But the little girl kept urging him to go to the county town to have a look, saying that if Xiaojie and Huzi wanted to take the scientific examination, they must go to the county town to study, otherwise it would not be easy to pass the exam.

After wiping his feet, Jiang Sanlang put on his wooden clogs and went out to pour water.

He went to the two sons' room to take a look again, and saw that they were already asleep. Then he turned back and took a look at his daughter's room, and also turned off the lights and rested.

Going back to the house and lying down on the kang, I thought about it and said to my wife: "Chun Niang, let's go to the county town and buy a house."

Chunniang's eyes lit up: "Are you serious?"

The family still has more than three hundred taels of silver, and originally wanted to buy some paddy fields, but the little girl disagrees, saying that in the future there will be floods, and those fields will be worthless. Buying paddy fields at high prices now is just a waste of money.

Chunniang and her husband always obeyed their little girl’s words, so they didn’t buy it.

But with so much cash saved at home, she never felt at ease, fearing that another group of thieves would suddenly come and steal all the money.

"Of course it's true." Jiang Sanlang put his hands on the pillow and said leisurely: "Let's buy a house in the county town, so we don't have to stay in an inn when we come and go. Besides, Xiaojie and Yuanbao go to the county town to study. Without a house, it might be inconvenient to take care of them."

Chunniang asked with expectation: "Then when are you going to buy it?"

"The day after tomorrow. The day after tomorrow I will go to the town and hire a car to go to the county seat. If everything goes well, I will buy a carriage and bring it back." It is really inconvenient for me not to have a car at home. Going to the market and visiting relatives depends on my feet. Sir It's nothing, but the kids can't stand it.

Moreover, mules and horses can also plow fields. He also wanted to reclaim the wasteland near the orchard. Having mules and horses would save a lot of time and effort.

"It's time to buy a car at home." Chun Niang suddenly remembered what her sister-in-law said and asked, "Then will you take Dacheng with you? You should go and talk to my sister-in-law."

Jiang Sanlang: "It's up to him whether he wants to go or not. I'll talk to my eldest sister."

It’s true that my sister-in-law is afraid that her son will not be able to find a wife.

Apart from other things, just because of Dacheng’s good looks, good figure, and good character, there will always be a shortage of wives. Maybe he will be like his second uncle in the future and find a good wife to take home. Woolen cloth.

"It's okay." Chun Niang felt relieved when her husband agreed to come forward.

I will tell my sister-in-law tomorrow and it will be accepted as her request.

Early the next morning, Chun Niang got up to check on the chicks hatching.

I saw a lot of fluffy chicks crawling under the wings of three hens.

Chunniang quickly picked them up into a large basket lined with broken grass, and then covered them with a small quilt.

There are still a few eggs under the hen's belly that have not hatched, but a small hole has been pecked.

Chunniang peeled open the egg shell bit by bit, took out the wet chick inside, stuffed it back into the hen's belly and covered it.
