Chapter 136： into town

,

"It's still early, and they're all gone. I won't cook so early. Let's put the things in our house first. Would you like to take a walk around while it's still light and get familiar with the new place." Xin She felt insecure in a strange place.

"That's what I mean. You're busy with you. I'll go around first. Ask the boss to call me if something happens, and I won't go far." Zhou Cheng touched the back of Pei Xiu's head. There are outsiders, and they are already many I haven't had any intimate actions in the sky, and my hands are itchy.

Pei Xiu watched him stride out with a smile and turned to enter the house, only to find a series of peeking heads in the next room, "Come out, what are you hiding? Do you have nothing to do? Copy the Three Character Classic and all the surnames."

There were several whining sounds, and it was the boss's voice that was the loudest.

Hu Zi stepped forward hesitantly, "Auntie, is Uncle Qiu gone? Then I..."

Pei Xiu gently reassured him: "Master Qiu has business affairs, so it's not convenient to take you with you, so let you stay here first, you sleep in the same room with them at night, and Zhou Heng sleeps with me at night. A piece of cloth as a sheet, and you'll sleep with them for a few days."

"Thank you auntie, I'll do whatever I want, I'll cause you trouble." Hu Zi's eyes were red, and he would follow along when he was not cured. These days, he had lost a whole circle after sleeping in the open air. This child has such a big idea that he is a villager after suffering this crime, and his family still expects Qiu Baize to help him at a critical moment, so let's keep it.

"Go and see them write, and let them read it to you. I'll go to work first."

When Pei Xiu put the things away, Hu Zi had already made a fire in the kitchen to boil water, "Why don't you go into the house and make a fire here."

Hu Zi stood up and said embarrassedly, "They are all writing seriously, so I won't disturb them. I'll boil some water first and then everyone will have to take a bath."

"You are very thoughtful, everyone has not rested well all the way, take a bath, eat early, and sleep well at night. I'll do it here, I'll pack some hot water for you, you can go first while you're free. Wash." She will be cooking later and sweating again, so there is no need to wash now.

I rummaged in the kitchen, but it was empty and nothing. Fortunately, they brought their own rice, and there was still a little seasoning for the road, so they could only eat it at night. There's a lot to add tomorrow.

She had given up hope for dinner, but Zhou Cheng brought a basket of vegetables and eggs when he returned from a stroll around. Dinner doesn't have to come this time.

"Where did it come from?" Pei Xiu took it in surprise.

"The workers over there gave them the vegetables grown in the village, and the eggs were bought from them. There is a small village nearby. I haven't been there yet. I'll visit when I have time."

The family sat happily together and ate their first meal at Zhuangzi. They were very satisfied and curious about the new place, but it was getting dark and mother wouldn't let them go out. They also recharged their energy early in the morning, and they can go shopping tomorrow. They got excited just thinking about it, but they were so tired these days that they slept with their pillows.

Pei Xiu was also very tired, so she fell asleep when she lay down. Zhou Cheng, who was imagining it, looked at the two sleeping next to him, one big and one small, and fell asleep.

In the new place, everyone was thinking of exploring, no one stayed in bed, and everyone got up as soon as the day dawned. Zhou Cheng took them to practice in the morning as usual, but Zhou Yi was not there, and he was replaced by Huzi, but to him there was no difference, they were all exercises.

On a new day, Pei Xiu fried a poached egg for everyone. Watching the children wow, Pei Xiu felt that there was nothing more important, more important and happier than being a family together.

"Mother, will you take us to visit the provincial capital later?" Zhou Heng ate in the bowl, still remembering what Qiu Baize said yesterday about visiting the provincial capital.

"The county is near, let's go to the county today and eat quickly."

When their family walked out of the courtyard, they remembered that there is no carriage today, and they have to walk on two legs. Pei Xiu asked Zhou Cheng, "Which direction is Ning County and how long are we going to go?"

"This village is half an hour's walk from Ning County. Most of it is on flat ground and there is no mountain road. It is not far from the provincial capital, an hour and a quarter of an hour. Therefore, there are many villages and fields nearby, but most of the fields belong to officials and eunuchs. The villagers are all tenant farmers.” Zhou Cheng led the way in front, saying as he walked, he went around yesterday and asked the long-term workers how to get to the county town, and by the way, he learned about the situation in the surrounding area.

"How is the rent of the nearby tenants calculated? I think this place is different from our land, which is one piece of land and one piece of land. It's a continuous piece of land." Pei Xiu was curious, and heard that within the jurisdiction of the King of Liaodong, the rent was shall not exceed fifty percent.

"There are regulations, it should be 50%, and some benevolent masters only receive 40%."

On the way, the villagers came and went pushing fruits and vegetables. They all looked at the family curiously, but no one dared to talk to them, mainly because Zhou Cheng looked too uneasy.

An elderly woman couldn't help but follow her curiosity and asked Pei Xiu, "Old lady, who are you and why haven't you met before?"

"We just came to this village yesterday, and we live in the village inside." Pei Xiu didn't mind the aunt talking to her, and she also wanted to know about the situation in the village.

"You are the new Zhuangtou family from that noble Zhuangzi, aren't you? You are so lucky, UU read to see that you have given birth to such a bunch of boys, five of them are boys, and the family is happy. Bar…"

She didn't know how to explain that there were two that were not from her family, so she smiled and revealed it. By the way, I asked the aunt about things in the village. I also know that this auntie Zhang lives in a village near them. Their family is also a tenant, and this time they went into the city to sell eggs and vegetables.

"Ms. Zhang, are you coming back after the vegetables are sold? We just moved in, and we need to buy a lot of things. It's hard to carry and we don't have a scooter to push. Do you think we can store the things in your car and come back? Calculate the fare for you."

These words made Aunt Zhang's old face burst into laughter, but I didn't expect that if you talk to me, you can still earn money for a car on the way back, "Mrs. You're welcome, we'll wait for you after we've sold the vegetables. Anyway, the scooter is empty. It’s all about the same village, and there’s no money for anything.”

"Well, if we buy too many things, it's not easy to get them. It costs money to rent a car. Why don't we rent your scooter? We just came to this village, and distant relatives are worse than our neighbors. We will need you to take care of them in the future."

Pei Xiu also bought all her eggs, which made her happy. The owner and the family explained everything in the village, and even explained the chickens at home. Zhou Cheng glanced over with an admiring look.
